s390: Remove signal translation and exec_domain

2015-04-12T18:58:25+00:00

As execution domain support is gone we can remove signal translation from the signal code and remove exec_domain from thread_info. Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct

2015-02-13T02:54:12+00:00

If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting the restart block is a very juicy exploit target. This is because the restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack. Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by making the restart_block harder to locate. Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy targets, at least on some architectures. It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less identical on all architectures.

s390/signal: add sparse annotations

s390: add support for vector extension

2014-10-09T07:14:13+00:00

The vector extension introduces 32 128-bit vector registers and a set of instruction to operate on the vector registers. The kernel can control the use of vector registers for the problem state program with a bit in control register 0. Once enabled for a process the kernel needs to retain the content of the vector registers on context switch. The signal frame is extended to include the vector registers. Two new register sets NT_S390_VXRS_LOW and NT_S390_VXRS_HIGH are added to the regset interface for the debugger and core dumps. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390: Use get_signal() signal_setup_done()

2014-08-06T11:03:10+00:00

Use the more generic functions get_signal() signal_setup_done() for signal delivery. Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

s390: split TIF bits into CIF, PIF and TIF bits

2014-05-20T06:58:47+00:00

The oi and ni instructions used in entry[64].S to set and clear bits in the thread-flags are not guaranteed to be atomic in regard to other CPUs. Split the TIF bits into CPU, pt_regs and thread-info specific bits. Updates on the TIF bits are done with atomic instructions, updates on CPU and pt_regs bits are done with non-atomic instructions.

s390/compat: get rid of compat wrapper assembly code

2014-03-06T15:30:48+00:00

Now that all compat syscalls have been converted to use the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE macros, we don't need to compat syscall wrapper assembly code anymore. So remove it and fix up the system call table accordingly. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens

s390/compat: correct check for EFAULT in rt-signal frame creation

2013-12-16T13:37:47+00:00

The return code of the __put_user call to store the rt_sigreturn system call to the user stack if not properly checked, the err variable is only checked before to the __put_user. Use an if statement instead. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/signal: always restore saved runtime instrumentation psw bit

2013-11-20T08:04:53+00:00

Commit "s390: fix handling of runtime instrumentation psw bit" (5ebf250dab) changed the behavior of setting the runtime instrumentation psw bit. This commit restores the original logic: 1. When returning from the signal handler, the runtime instrumentation psw bit is restored to its saved state. 2. If the runtime instrumentation psw bit is enabled during the signal handler, it is always turned off when leaving the signal handler. The saved state is restored as described in 1. That also implies that turning on runtime instrumentation in the signal handler is only effective while running in the signal context. Signed-off-by: Hendrik Brueckner
