timex: use __kernel_timex internally

2019-02-06T23:13:27Z

struct timex is not y2038 safe. Replace all uses of timex with y2038 safe __kernel_timex. Note that struct __kernel_timex is an ABI interface definition. We could define a new structure based on __kernel_timex that is only available internally instead. Right now, there isn't a strong motivation for this as the structure is isolated to a few defined struct timex interfaces and such a structure would be exactly the same as struct timex.

alpha: remove CONFIG_OSF4_COMPAT flag from syscall table

2018-12-21T16:57:56Z

Remove CONFIG_OSF4_COMPAT config flag from system call table - systbls.S and to keep the same feature, add the flag in osf_sys.c. One of the patch in this patch series will generate the system call table file. In order to come up with a common implementation across all architecture, we need this change.

Merge branch 'userns-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace

2018-08-24T16:25:39Z

Pull namespace fixes from Eric Biederman: "This is a set of four fairly obvious bug fixes: - a switch from d_find_alias to d_find_any_alias because the xattr code perversely takes a dentry - two mutex vs copy_to_user fixes from Jann Horn - a fix to use a sanitized size not the size userspace passed in from Christian Brauner" * 'userns-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: getxattr: use correct xattr length sys: don't hold uts_sem while accessing userspace memory userns: move user access out of the mutex cap_inode_getsecurity: use d_find_any_alias() instead of d_find_alias()

sys: don't hold uts_sem while accessing userspace memory

2018-08-11T07:05:53Z

Holding uts_sem as a writer while accessing userspace memory allows a namespace admin to stall all processes that attempt to take uts_sem. Instead, move data through stack buffers and don't access userspace memory while uts_sem is held.

alpha: fix osf_wait4() breakage

2018-07-22T18:51:30Z

kernel_wait4() expects a userland address for status - it's only rusage that goes as a kernel one (and needs a copyout afterwards) [ Also, fix the prototype of kernel_wait4() to have that __user annotation - Linus ] Fixes: 92ebce5ac55d ("osf_wait4: switch to kernel_wait4()") Cc: stable@kernel.org # v4.13+ Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

signal/alpha: Use send_sig_fault where appropriate

2018-04-25T15:40:58Z

Filling in struct siginfo before calling send_sig_info a tedious and error prone process, where once in a great while the wrong fields are filled out, and siginfo has been inconsistently cleared. Simplify this process by using the helper send_sig_fault. Which takes as a parameters all of the information it needs, ensures all of the fiddly bits of filling in struct siginfo are done properly and then calls send_sig_info. In short about a 5 line reduction in code for every time send_sig_info is called, which makes the calling function clearer.

signal/alpha: Replace FPE_FIXME with FPE_FLTUNK

2018-04-25T15:40:54Z

Using an si_code of 0 that aliases with SI_USER is clearly the wrong thing todo, and causes problems in interesting ways. The newly defined FPE_FLTUNK semantically appears to fit the bill so use it instead. Given recent experience in this area odds are it will not break anything. Fixing it removes a hazard to kernel maintenance.

signal: Ensure every siginfo we send has all bits initialized

2018-04-25T15:40:51Z

Call clear_siginfo to ensure every stack allocated siginfo is properly initialized before being passed to the signal sending functions. Note: It is not safe to depend on C initializers to initialize struct siginfo on the stack because C is allowed to skip holes when initializing a structure. The initialization of struct siginfo in tracehook_report_syscall_exit was moved from the helper user_single_step_siginfo into tracehook_report_syscall_exit itself, to make it clear that the local variable siginfo gets fully initialized. In a few cases the scope of struct siginfo has been reduced to make it clear that siginfo siginfo is not used on other paths in the function in which it is declared. Instances of using memset to initialize siginfo have been replaced with calls clear_siginfo for clarity. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman"

signal/alpha: Document a conflict with SI_USER for SIGFPE

2018-04-17T22:41:50Z

Setting si_code to 0 is the same as setting si_code to SI_USER. This is the same si_code as SI_USER. Posix and common sense requires that SI_USER not be a signal specific si_code. As such this use of 0 for the si_code is a pretty horribly broken ABI.
