all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct

2015-02-13T02:54:12Z

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.

mm: make FIRST_USER_ADDRESS unsigned long on all archs

2015-02-12T01:06:03Z

LKP has triggered a compiler warning after my recent patch "mm: account pmd page tables to the process": mm/mmap.c: In function 'exit_mmap': >> mm/mmap.c:2857:2: warning: right shift count >= width of type [enabled by default] The code: > 2857 WARN_ON(mm_nr_pmds(mm) > 2858 round_up(FIRST_USER_ADDRESS, PUD_SIZE) >> PUD_SHIFT); In this, on tile, we have FIRST_USER_ADDRESS defined as 0. round_up() has the same type -- int. PUD_SHIFT. I think the best way to fix it is to define FIRST_USER_ADDRESS as unsigned long. On every arch for consistency. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

alpha: macro whitespace fixes

2015-01-13T13:23:49Z

While working on arch/alpha/include/asm/uaccess.h, I noticed that some macros within this header are made harder to read because they violate a coding style rule: space is missing after comma. Fix it up. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin

alpha/uaccess: fix sparse errors

2015-01-13T13:23:00Z

virtio wants to read bitwise types from userspace using get_user. At the moment this triggers sparse errors, since the value is passed through an integer. Fix that up using __force. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin

arch: Cleanup read_barrier_depends() and comments

2014-12-12T02:15:05Z

This patch is meant to cleanup the handling of read_barrier_depends and smp_read_barrier_depends. In multiple spots in the kernel headers read_barrier_depends is defined as "do {} while (0)", however we then go into the SMP vs non-SMP sections and have the SMP version reference read_barrier_depends, and the non-SMP define it as yet another empty do/while. With this commit I went through and cleaned out the duplicate definitions and reduced the number of definitions down to 2 per header. In addition I moved the 50 line comments for the macro from the x86 and mips headers that defined it as an empty do/while to those that were actually defining the macro, alpha and blackfin.

net, lib: kill arch_fast_hash library bits

2014-12-10T20:17:46Z

As there are now no remaining users of arch_fast_hash(), lets kill it entirely. This basically reverts commit 71ae8aac3e19 ("lib: introduce arch optimized hash library") and follow-up work, that is f.e., commit 237217546d44 ("lib: hash: follow-up fixups for arch hash"), commit e3fec2f74f7f ("lib: Add missing arch generic-y entries for asm-generic/hash.h") and last but not least commit 6a02652df511 ("perf tools: Fix include for non x86 architectures").

Pull audit updates from Eric Paris: "So this change across a whole bunch of arches really solves one basic problem. We want to audit when seccomp is killing a process. seccomp hooks in before the audit syscall entry code. audit_syscall_entry took as an argument the arch of the given syscall. Since the arch is part of what makes a syscall number meaningful it's an important part of the record, but it isn't available when seccomp shoots the syscall... For most arch's we have a better way to get the arch (syscall_get_arch) So the solution was two fold: Implement syscall_get_arch() everywhere there is audit which didn't have it. Use syscall_get_arch() in the seccomp audit code. Having syscall_get_arch() everywhere meant it was a useless flag on the stack and we could get rid of it for the typical syscall entry. The other changes inside the audit system aren't grand, fixed some records that had invalid spaces. Better locking around the task comm field. Removing some dead functions and structs. Make some things static. Really minor stuff" * git://git.infradead.org/users/eparis/audit: (31 commits) audit: rename audit_log_remove_rule to disambiguate for trees audit: cull redundancy in audit_rule_change audit: WARN if audit_rule_change called illegally audit: put rule existence check in canonical order next: openrisc: Fix build audit: get comm using lock to avoid race in string printing audit: remove open_arg() function that is never used audit: correct AUDIT_GET_FEATURE return message type audit: set nlmsg_len for multicast messages. audit: use union for audit_field values since they are mutually exclusive audit: invalid op= values for rules audit: use atomic_t to simplify audit_serial() kernel/audit.c: use ARRAY_SIZE instead of sizeof/sizeof[0] audit: reduce scope of audit_log_fcaps audit: reduce scope of audit_net_id audit: arm64: Remove the audit arch argument to audit_syscall_entry arm64: audit: Add audit hook in syscall_trace_enter/exit() audit: x86: drop arch from __audit_syscall_entry() interface sparc: implement is_32bit_task sparc: properly conditionalize use of TIF_32BIT ...
