Pull exec domain removal from Richard Weinberger: "This series removes execution domain support from Linux. The idea behind exec domains was to support different ABIs. The feature was never complete nor stable.

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

s390: remove 31 bit support

2015-03-25T10:49:33+00:00

Remove the 31 bit support in order to reduce maintenance cost and effectively remove dead code. Since a couple of years there is no distribution left that comes with a 31 bit kernel. The 31 bit kernel also has been broken since more than a year before anybody noticed. In addition I added a removal warning to the kernel shown at ipl for 5 minutes: a960062e5826 ("s390: add 31 bit warning message") which let everybody know about the plan to remove 31 bit code. We didn't get any response. Given that the last 31 bit only machine was introduced in 1999 let's remove the code. Anybody with 31 bit user space code can still use the compat mode.

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: 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()

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/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

s390: fix handling of runtime instrumentation psw bit

2013-10-24T15:17:11+00:00

Fix the following bugs: - When returning from a signal the signal handler copies the saved psw mask from user space and uses parts of it. Especially it restores the RI bit unconditionally. If however the machine doesn't support RI, or RI is disabled for the task, the last lpswe instruction which returns to user space will generate a specification exception. To fix this check if the RI bit is allowed to be set and kill the task if not. - In the compat mode signal handler code the RI bit of the psw mask gets propagated to the mask of the return psw: if user space enables RI in the signal handler, RI will also be enabled after the signal handler is finished. This is a different behaviour than with 64 bit tasks. So change this to match the 64 bit semantics, which restores the original RI bit value. - Fix similar oddities within the ptrace code as well.
