commit 1b15ec7a7427d4188ba91b9bbac696250a059d22 upstream.

get_wchan() is lockless. Task may wakeup at any time and change its own stack,
thus each next stack frame may be overwritten and filled with random stuff.

/proc/$pid/stack interface had been disabled for non-current tasks, see [1]
But 'wchan' still allows to trigger stack frame unwinding on volatile stack.

This patch fixes oops in unwind_frame() by adding stack pointer validation on
each step (as x86 code do), unwind_frame() already checks frame pointer.

Also I've found another report of this oops on stackoverflow (irony).

commit e0d407564b532d978b03ceccebd224a05d02f111 upstream.

Unfortunately, I never committed the fix to a nasty oops which can
occur as a result of that commit:

------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at /home/olof/work/batch/include/linux/mm.h:414!
Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM
Modules linked in:
CPU: 0 PID: 490 Comm: killall5 Not tainted 3.11.0-rc3-00288-gabe0308 #53
task: e90acac0 ti: e9be8000 task.ti: e9be8000
PC is at special_mapping_fault+0xa4/0xc4
LR is at __do_fault+0x68/0x48c

This doesn't show up unless you do quite a bit of testing; a simple
boot test does not do this, so all my nightly tests were passing fine.

The reason for this is that install_special_mapping() expects the
page array to stick around, and as this was only inserting one page
which was stored on the kernel stack, that's why this was blowing up.

If kuser helpers are not provided by the kernel, disable user access to
the vectors page.  With the kuser helpers gone, there is no reason for
this page to be visible to userspace.

commit 48be69a026b2c17350a5ef18a1959a919f60be7d upstream.

Move the signal handlers into a VDSO page rather than keeping them in
the vectors page.  This allows us to place them randomly within this
page, and also map the page at a random location within userspace
further protecting these code fragments from ROP attacks.  The new
VDSO page is also poisoned in the same way as the vector page.

<title>ARM: 7759/1: decouple CPU offlining from reboot/shutdown</title>

Add comments to machine_shutdown()/halt()/power_off()/restart() that
describe their purpose and/or requirements re: CPUs being active/not.

In machine_shutdown(), replace the call to smp_send_stop() with a call to
disable_nonboot_cpus(). This completely disables all but one CPU, thus
satisfying the requirement that only a single CPU be active for kexec.
Adjust Kconfig dependencies for this change.

In machine_halt()/power_off()/restart(), call smp_send_stop() directly,
rather than via machine_shutdown(); these functions don't need to
completely de-activate all CPUs using hotplug, but rather just quiesce
them.

Remove smp_kill_cpus(), and its call from smp_send_stop().
smp_kill_cpus() was indirectly calling smp_ops.cpu_kill() without calling
smp_ops.cpu_die() on the target CPUs first. At least some implementations
of smp_ops had issues with this; it caused cpu_kill() to hang on Tegra,
for example. Since smp_send_stop() is only used for shutdown, halt, and
power-off, there is no need to attempt any kind of CPU hotplug here.

Adjust Kconfig to reflect that machine_shutdown() (and hence kexec)
relies upon disable_nonboot_cpus(). However, this alone doesn't guarantee
that hotplug will work, or even that hotplug is implemented for a
particular piece of HW that a multi-platform zImage runs on. Hence, add
error-checking to machine_kexec() to determine whether it did work.

<title>ARM: 7727/1: remove the .vm_mm value from gate_vma</title>

If one reads /proc/$PID/smaps, the mmap_sem belonging to the
address space of the task being examined is locked for reading.
All the pages of the vmas belonging to the task's address space
are then walked with this lock held.

If a gate_vma is present in the architecture, it too is examined
by the fs/proc/task_mmu.c code. As gate_vma doesn't belong to the
address space of the task though, its pages are not walked.

A recent cleanup (commit f6604efe) of the gate_vma initialisation
code set the vm_mm value to &amp;init_mm. Unfortunately a non-NULL
vm_mm value in the gate_vma will cause the task_mmu code to attempt
to walk the pages of the gate_vma (with no mmap-sem lock held). If
one enables Transparent Huge Page support and vm debugging, this
will then cause OOPses as pmd_trans_huge_lock is called without
mmap_sem being locked.

This patch removes the .vm_mm value from gate_vma, restoring the
original behaviour of the task_mmu code.

   - Error handling cleanups of the IS_ERR_OR_NULL() madness and fixes

  There is also a set of three patches in here from Hugh/Catalin to

show_regs() is inherently arch-dependent but it does make sense to print
generic debug information and some archs already do albeit in slightly
different forms.  This patch introduces a generic function to print debug
information from show_regs() so that different archs print out the same
information and it's much easier to modify what's printed.

show_regs_print_info() prints out the same debug info as dump_stack()
does plus task and thread_info pointers.

* Archs which didn't print debug info now do.

  alpha, arc, blackfin, c6x, cris, frv, h8300, hexagon, ia64, m32r,
  metag, microblaze, mn10300, openrisc, parisc, score, sh64, sparc,
  um, xtensa

* Already prints debug info.  Replaced with show_regs_print_info().
  The printed information is superset of what used to be there.

  arm, arm64, avr32, mips, powerpc, sh32, tile, unicore32, x86

* s390 is special in that it used to print arch-specific information
  along with generic debug info.  Heiko and Martin think that the
  arch-specific extra isn't worth keeping s390 specfic implementation.
  Converted to use the generic version.

Note that now all archs print the debug info before actual register
dumps.

An example BUG() dump follows.
