mm/fault, arch: Use pagefault_disable() to check for disabled pagefaults in the handler

2015-05-19T06:39:15+00:00

Introduce faulthandler_disabled() and use it to check for irq context and disabled pagefaults (via pagefault_disable()) in the pagefault handlers. Please note that we keep the in_atomic() checks in place - to detect whether in irq context (in which case preemption is always properly disabled). In contrast, preempt_disable() should never be used to disable pagefaults. With !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT, preempt_disable() doesn't modify the preempt counter, and therefore the result of in_atomic() differs. We validate that condition by using might_fault() checks when calling might_sleep(). Therefore, add a comment to faulthandler_disabled(), describing why this is needed. faulthandler_disabled() and pagefault_disable() are defined in linux/uaccess.h, so let's properly add that include to all relevant files. This patch is based on a patch from Thomas Gleixner.

vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling support

2015-01-29T18:51:32+00:00

The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a "you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler. That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do retries etc" - but it generally works. However, there are cases where the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV. In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a SIGSEGV. And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by that duplicated architecture fault handler. However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space. And user space really expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS. To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those duplicate architecture fault handlers about it. They all already have the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying. This is the mindless minimal patch to do this. A more extensive patch would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that cleanup. Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other "newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about them too.

Merge branch 'parisc-3.15-4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux

2014-05-20T05:35:28+00:00

Pull parisc fixes from Helge Deller: "There are two patches in here: The first patch greatly improves latency and corrects the memory ordering in our light-weight atomic locking syscall. The second patch ratelimits printing of userspace segfaults in the same way as it's done on other platforms. This fixes a possible DOS on parisc since it prevents the syslog to grow too fast. For example, when the debian acl2 package was built on our debian buildd servers, this package produced lots of gigabytes in syslog in very short time and thus filled our harddisks, which then turned the server nearly completely unaccessible and unresponsive" * 'parisc-3.15-4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux: parisc: Improve LWS-CAS performance parisc: ratelimit userspace segfault printing

parisc: ratelimit userspace segfault printing

2014-05-15T19:12:15+00:00

Ratelimit printing of userspace segfaults and make it runtime configurable via the /proc/sys/debug/exception-trace variable. This should resolve syslog from growing way too fast and thus prevents possible system service attacks. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.13+

parisc: signal fixup - SIGBUS vs. SIGSEGV

2013-11-07T21:29:24+00:00

Clean up code to send correct signal on invalid memory accesses: Send SIGBUS instead of SIGSEGV for memory accesses outside of mmap'ed areas This fixes the mmap13 testcase from the Linux Test Project. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

parisc: provide macro to create exception table entries

2013-11-07T21:25:33+00:00

Provide a macro ASM_EXCEPTIONTABLE_ENTRY() to create exception table entries and convert all open-coded places to use that macro. This patch is a first step toward creating a exception table which only holds 32bit pointers even on a 64bit kernel. That way in my own kernel I was able to reduce the in-kernel exception table from 44kB to 22kB. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller
