Replace macro "ARCH_HAVE_EXTRA_ELF_NOTES" with kconfig

2024-04-15T18:02:51+00:00

"ARCH_HAVE_EXTRA_ELF_NOTES" enables an extra note section in the core dump. Kconfig variable is preferred over ARCH_HAVE_* macro.

Revert "powerpc/64s: Remove support for ELFv1 little endian userspace"

2023-07-19T11:28:35+00:00

This reverts commit 606787fed7268feb256957872586370b56af697a. ELFv1 with LE has never been a thing, and people who try to make ELFv1 LE binaries are maniacs who need to be stopped, but unfortunately there are ELFv1 LE binaries out there in the wild. One such binary is the ppc64el (as Debian calls it) helper for arch-test[0], a tool for detecting architectures that can be executed on a given machine by means of attempting to execute helper binaries compiled for each architecture and seeing which binaries succeed and fail. The helpers are small snippets of assembly, and the ppc64el assembly doesn't include the right directives to generate an ELFv2 binary. This results in arch-test incorrectly determining that a ppc64el kernel can't execute a ppc64el userspace, which in turn means that a number of developer tools such as debootstrap will break (assuming arch-test is installed).

powerpc/64s: Remove support for ELFv1 little endian userspace

2023-06-14T02:46:42+00:00

ELFv2 was introduced together with little-endian. ELFv1 with LE has never been a thing. The GNU toolchain can create such a beast, but anyone doing that is a maniac who needs to be stopped so I consider this patch a feature.

powerpc/signal: Report minimum signal frame size to userspace via AT_MINSIGSTKSZ

2022-05-19T13:11:26+00:00

Implement the AT_MINSIGSTKSZ AUXV entry, allowing userspace to dynamically size stack allocations in a manner forward-compatible with new processor state saved in the signal frame For now these statically find the maximum signal frame size rather than doing any runtime testing of features to minimise the size. glibc 2.34 will take advantage of this, as will applications that use use _SC_MINSIGSTKSZ and _SC_SIGSTKSZ.

powerpc: Move and rename func_descr_t

2022-02-16T12:25:10+00:00

There are three architectures with function descriptors, try to have common names for the address they contain in order to refactor some functions into generic functions later. powerpc has 'entry' ia64 has 'ip' parisc has 'addr' Vote for 'addr' and update 'func_descr_t' accordingly. Move it in asm/elf.h to have it at the same place on all three architectures, remove the typedef which hides its real type, and change it to a smoother name 'struct func_desc'.

powerpc/vdso: Replace vdso_base by vdso

2020-12-03T14:01:16+00:00

All other architectures but s390 use a void pointer named 'vdso' to reference the VDSO mapping. In a following patch, the VDSO data page will be put in front of text, vdso_base will then not anymore point to VDSO text. To avoid confusion between vdso_base and VDSO text, rename vdso_base into vdso and make it a void __user *.

powerpc/prom_init: Undo relocation before entering secure mode

2019-10-29T04:12:17+00:00

The ultravisor will do an integrity check of the kernel image but we relocated it so the check will fail. Restore the original image by relocating it back to the kernel virtual base address. This works because during build vmlinux is linked with an expected virtual runtime address of KERNELBASE.
