MIPS: Move arch_get_unmapped_area and gang to new file.

2011-05-19T08:55:49Z

It never really belonged into syscall.c and it's about to become well more complex. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

MIPS: Cleanup arch_get_unmapped_area

2011-05-19T08:55:49Z

As noticed by Kevin Cernekee in http://www.linux-mips.org/cgi-bin/extract-mesg.cgi?a=linux-mips&m=2011-05&i=BANLkTikq04wuK%3Dbz%2BLieavmm3oDtoYWKxg%40mail.gmail.com Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/2387/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

MIPS: Remove unused code from arch/mips/kernel/syscall.c

2011-03-14T20:07:26Z

The variable arg3 in _sys_sysmips() is unused. Remove it. Signed-off-by: David Daney To: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/2034/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

MIPS: Clear the correct flag in sysmips(MIPS_FIXADE, ...).

2011-03-14T20:07:25Z

The sysmips(MIPS_FIXADE, ...) case contains an obvious copy-and-paste error in the handling of the TIF_LOGADE flag. Fix that Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/1997/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer

2010-08-18T01:07:43Z

Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles correctly on ARM: arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to. This is because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to copy_strings_kernel(). A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel(). do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as const should be fine. Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match. This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

Mark arguments to certain syscalls as being const

2010-08-13T23:53:13Z

Mark arguments to certain system calls as being const where they should be but aren't. The list includes: (*) The filename arguments of various stat syscalls, execve(), various utimes syscalls and some mount syscalls. (*) The filename arguments of some syscall helpers relating to the above. (*) The buffer argument of various write syscalls. Signed-off-by: David Howells Acked-by: David S.

MIPS: Enable heap randomization.

2010-08-05T12:26:06Z

Based somewhat on the PPC implementation. 32-bit processes have the heap randomized in an 8MB space, 256MB for 64-bit processes. Signed-off-by: David Daney To: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/1479/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

MIPS: Randomize mmap if randomize_va_space is set

2010-08-05T12:26:05Z

Fairly straight forward: For 32-bit address spaces randomize within a 16MB space, for 64-bit within a 256MB space. Signed-off-by: David Daney To: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/1480/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

MIPS: Preliminary VDSO

2010-04-12T16:26:14Z

This is a preliminary patch to add a vdso to all user processes. Still missing are ELF headers and .eh_frame information. But it is enough to allow us to move signal trampolines off of the stack. Note that emulation of branch delay slots in the FPU emulator still requires the stack. We allocate a single page (the vdso) and write all possible signal trampolines into it. The stack is moved down by one page and the vdso is mapped into this space.
