ARC: signal handling robustify

2015-05-13T12:17:00+00:00

commit e4140819dadc3624accac8294881bca8a3cba4ed upstream. A malicious signal handler / restorer can DOS the system by fudging the user regs saved on stack, causing weird things such as sigreturn returning to user mode PC but cpu state still being kernel mode.... Ensure that in sigreturn path status32 always has U bit; any other bogosity (gargbage PC etc) will be taken care of by normal user mode exceptions mechanisms. Reproducer signal handler: void handle_sig(int signo, siginfo_t *info, void *context) { ucontext_t *uc = context; struct user_regs_struct *regs = &(uc->uc_mcontext.regs); regs->scratch.status32 = 0; } Before the fix, kernel would go off to weeds like below: --------->8----------- [ARCLinux]$ ./signal-test Path: /signal-test CPU: 0 PID: 61 Comm: signal-test Not tainted 4.0.0-rc5+ #65 task: 8f177880 ti: 5ffe6000 task.ti: 8f15c000 [ECR ]: 0x00220200 => Invalid Write @ 0x00000010 by insn @ 0x00010698 [EFA ]: 0x00000010 [BLINK ]: 0x2007c1ee [ERET ]: 0x10698 [STAT32]: 0x00000000 : <-------- BTA: 0x00010680 SP: 0x5ffe7e48 FP: 0x00000000 LPS: 0x20003c6c LPE: 0x20003c70 LPC: 0x00000000 ... --------->8----------- Reported-by: Alexey Brodkin Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

nosave: consolidate __nosave_{begin,end} in

commit 7f8998c7aef3ac9c5f3f2943e083dfa6302e90d0 upstream. The different architectures used their own (and different) declarations: extern __visible const void __nosave_begin, __nosave_end; extern const void __nosave_begin, __nosave_end; extern long __nosave_begin, __nosave_end; Consolidate them using the first variant in .

C6x: time: Ensure consistency in __init

2015-05-06T19:59:21+00:00

commit f4831605f2dacd12730fe73961c77253cc2ea425 upstream. time_init invokes timer64_init (which is __init annotation) since all of these are invoked at init time, lets maintain consistency by ensuring time_init is marked appropriately as well. This fixes the following warning with CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x3bfc): Section mismatch in reference from the function time_init() to the function .init.text:timer64_init() The function time_init() references the function __init timer64_init(). This is often because time_init lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of timer64_init is wrong.

xtensa: ISS: fix locking in TAP network adapter

2015-05-06T19:59:18+00:00

commit 24e94454c8cb6a13634f5a2f5a01da53a546a58d upstream. - don't lock lp->lock in the iss_net_timer for the call of iss_net_poll, it will lock it itself; - invert order of lp->lock and opened_lock acquisition in the iss_net_open to make it consistent with iss_net_poll; - replace spin_lock with spin_lock_bh when acquiring locks used in iss_net_timer from non-atomic context; - replace spin_lock_irqsave with spin_lock_bh in the iss_net_start_xmit as the driver doesn't use lp->lock in the hard IRQ context; - replace __SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED(lp.lock) with spin_lock_init, otherwise lockdep is unhappy about using non-static key.

xtensa: provide __NR_sync_file_range2 instead of __NR_sync_file_range

2015-05-06T19:59:18+00:00

commit 01e84c70fe40c8111f960987bcf7f931842e6d07 upstream. xtensa actually uses sync_file_range2 implementation, so it should define __NR_sync_file_range2 as other architectures that use that function. That fixes userspace interface (that apparently never worked) and avoids special-casing xtensa in libc implementations. See the thread ending at http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/uclibc/2015-February/048833.html for more details. Signed-off-by: Max Filippov Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

xtensa: xtfpga: fix hardware lockup caused by LCD driver

2015-05-06T19:59:18+00:00

commit 4949009eb8d40a441dcddcd96e101e77d31cf1b2 upstream. LCD driver is always built for the XTFPGA platform, but its base address is not configurable, and is wrong for ML605/KC705. Its initialization locks up KC705 board hardware. Make the whole driver optional, and its base address and bus width configurable. Implement 4-bit bus access method.

powerpc/cell: Fix cell iommu after it_page_shift changes

2015-05-06T19:59:17+00:00

commit 7261b956b276aa97fbf60d00f1d7717d2ea6ee78 upstream. The patch to add it_page_shift incorrectly changed the increment of uaddr to use it_page_shift, rather then (1 << it_page_shift). This broke booting on at least some Cell blades, as the iommu was basically non-functional.

powerpc: Fix missing L2 cache size in /sys/devices/system/cpu

2015-05-06T19:59:17+00:00

commit f7e9e358362557c3aa2c1ec47490f29fe880a09e upstream. This problem appears to have been introduced in 2.6.29 by commit 93197a36a9c1 "Rewrite sysfs processor cache info code". This caused lscpu to error out on at least e500v2 devices, eg: error: cannot open /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index2/size: No such file or directory Some embedded powerpc systems use cache-size in DTS for the unified L2 cache size, not d-cache-size, so we need to allow for both DTS names. Added a new CACHE_TYPE_UNIFIED_D cache_type_info structure to handle this.

powerpc/perf: Cap 64bit userspace backtraces to PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH

arm64: vdso: fix build error when switching from LE to BE

2015-05-06T19:59:14+00:00

commit 1915e2ad1cf548217c963121e4076b3d44dd0169 upstream. Building a kernel with CPU_BIG_ENDIAN fails if there are stale objects from a !CPU_BIG_ENDIAN build. Due to a missing FORCE prerequisite on an if_changed rule in the VDSO Makefile, we attempt to link a stale LE object into the new BE kernel. According to Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt, FORCE is required for if_changed rules and forgetting it is a common mistake, so fix it by 'Forcing' the build of vdso. This patch fixes build errors like these: arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/note.o: compiled for a little endian system and target is big endian failed to merge target specific data of file arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/note.o arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/sigreturn.o: compiled for a little endian system and target is big endian failed to merge target specific data of file arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/sigreturn.o Tested-by: Mark Rutland Signed-off-by: Arun Chandran Signed-off-by: Will Deacon Cc: Guenter Roeck Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
