alpha: take a bunch of syscalls into osf_sys.c

2012-08-19T15:41:19Z

New helper: current_thread_info(). Allows to do a bunch of odd syscalls in C. While we are at it, there had never been a reason to do osf_getpriority() in assembler. We also get "namespace"-aware (read: consistent with getuid(2), etc.) behaviour from getx?id() syscalls now.

alpha: implement various OSF/1 stat syscalls

2012-05-24T18:27:57Z

This implements OSF/1 versions of stat, lstat, fstat, statfs64, and fstatfs64 syscalls. Signed-off-by: Mans Rullgard Signed-off-by: Matt Turner

alpha: implement setsysinfo(SSI_LMF) as a no-op

2012-05-24T18:27:55Z

This allows running software using the Tru64 license manager. For simplicity, no check for a valid license is done. This should not be seen as encouraging software piracy. Signed-off-by: Mans Rullgard Signed-off-by: Matt Turner

alpha: unbreak osf_setsysinfo(SSI_NVPAIRS, [SSIN_UACPROC, UAC_SIGBUS])

2011-08-25T23:25:33Z

The bug was accidentally found by the following program: #include #include #include static int setsysinfo(unsigned long op, void *buffer, unsigned long size, int *start, void *arg, unsigned long flag) { return syscall(__NR_osf_setsysinfo, op, buffer, size, start, arg, flag); } int main(int argc, char **argv) { short x[10]; unsigned int buf[2] = { SSIN_UACPROC, UAC_SIGBUS, }; setsysinfo(SSI_NVPAIRS, buf, 1, 0, 0, 0); int *y = (int*) (x+1); *y = 0; return 0; } The program shoud fail on SIGBUS, but didn't. The patch is a second part of userspace flag fix (commit 745dd2405e28 "Alpha: Rearrange thread info flags fixing two regressions"). Deleted outdated out-of-sync 'UAC_SHIFT' (the cause of bug) in favour of 'ALPHA_UAC_SHIFT'.

alpha: fix several security issues

2011-06-16T03:04:02Z

Fix several security issues in Alpha-specific syscalls. Untested, but mostly trivial. 1. Signedness issue in osf_getdomainname allows copying out-of-bounds kernel memory to userland. 2. Signedness issue in osf_sysinfo allows copying large amounts of kernel memory to userland. 3. Typo (?) in osf_getsysinfo bounds minimum instead of maximum copy size, allowing copying large amounts of kernel memory to userland. 4. Usage of user pointer in osf_wait4 while under KERNEL_DS allows privilege escalation via writing return value of sys_wait4 to kernel memory.

clean statfs-like syscalls up

2011-03-14T13:15:28Z

New helpers: user_statfs() and fd_statfs(), taking userland pathname and descriptor resp. and filling struct kstatfs. Syscalls of statfs family (native, compat and foreign - osf and hpux on alpha and parisc resp.) switched to those. Removes some boilerplate code, simplifies cleanup on errors...

alpha/osf_sys: remove unused MAX_SELECT_SECONDS

alpha: kill big kernel lock

2010-09-19T03:06:18Z

All uses of the BKL on alpha are totally bogus, nothing is really protected by this. Remove the remaining users so we don't have to mark alpha as 'depends on BKL'. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Cc: Richard Henderson Cc: Ivan Kokshaysky Cc: linux-alpha@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Matt Turner
