alpha: fix syscall entry in !AUDUT_SYSCALL case

2023-01-07T11:07:13+00:00

[ Upstream commit f7b2431a6d22f7a91c567708e071dfcd6d66db14 ]

We only want to take the slow path if SYSCALL_TRACE or SYSCALL_AUDIT is
set; on !AUDIT_SYSCALL configs the current tree hits it whenever _any_
thread flag (including NEED_RESCHED, NOTIFY_SIGNAL, etc.) happens to
be set.

tty: the rest, stop using tty_schedule_flip()

2022-07-29T15:05:47+00:00

commit b68b914494df4f79b4e9b58953110574af1cb7a2 upstream.

Since commit a9c3f68f3cd8d (tty: Fix low_latency BUG) in 2014,
tty_flip_buffer_push() is only a wrapper to tty_schedule_flip(). We are
going to remove the latter (as it is used less), so call the former in
the rest of the users.

alpha: Send stop IPI to send to online CPUs

2021-08-15T11:01:04+00:00

[ Upstream commit caace6ca4e06f09413fb8f8a63319594cfb7d47d ]

This issue was noticed while debugging a shutdown issue where some
secondary CPUs are not being shutdown correctly.  A fix for that [1] requires
that secondary cpus be offlined using the cpu_online_mask so that the
stop operation is a no-op if CPU HOTPLUG is disabled.  I, like the author in
[1] looked at the architectures and found that alpha is one of two
architectures that executes smp_send_stop() on all possible CPUs.

On alpha, smp_send_stop() sends an IPI to all possible CPUs but only needs
to send them to online CPUs.

Send the stop IPI to only the online CPUs.

sys: don't hold uts_sem while accessing userspace memory

2018-09-09T18:01:24+00:00

commit 42a0cc3478584d4d63f68f2f5af021ddbea771fa upstream.

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.

vgacon: Set VGA struct resource types

2018-03-24T10:00:25+00:00

[ Upstream commit c82084117f79bcae085e40da526253736a247120 ]

Set the resource type when we reserve VGA-related I/O port resources.

The resource code doesn't actually look at the type, so it inserts
resources without a type in the tree correctly even without this change.
But if we ever print a resource without a type, it looks like this:

  vga+ [??? 0x000003c0-0x000003df flags 0x0]

Setting the type means it will be printed correctly as:

  vga+ [io  0x000003c0-0x000003df]

alpha: fix formating of stack content

2018-02-17T12:21:19+00:00

commit 4b01abdb32fc36abe877503bfbd33019159fad71 upstream.

Since version 4.9, the kernel automatically breaks printk calls into
multiple newlines unless pr_cont is used. Fix the alpha stacktrace code,
so that it prints stack trace in four columns, as it was initially
intended.

alpha: fix crash if pthread_create races with signal delivery

2018-02-17T12:21:19+00:00

commit 21ffceda1c8b3807615c40d440d7815e0c85d366 upstream.

On alpha, a process will crash if it attempts to start a thread and a
signal is delivered at the same time. The crash can be reproduced with
this program: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-11/msg00473.html

The reason for the crash is this:
* we call the clone syscall
* we go to the function copy_process
* copy process calls copy_thread_tls, it is a wrapper around copy_thread
* copy_thread sets the tls pointer: childti->pcb.unique = regs->r20
* copy_thread sets regs->r20 to zero
* we go back to copy_process
* copy process checks "if (signal_pending(current))" and returns
  -ERESTARTNOINTR
* the clone syscall is restarted, but this time, regs->r20 is zero, so
  the new thread is created with zero tls pointer
* the new thread crashes in start_thread when attempting to access tls

The comment in the code says that setting the register r20 is some
compatibility with OSF/1. But OSF/1 doesn't use the CLONE_SETTLS flag, so
we don't have to zero r20 if CLONE_SETTLS is set. This patch fixes the bug
by zeroing regs->r20 only if CLONE_SETTLS is not set.
