exit_thread: remove empty bodies

2016-05-21T00:58:30+00:00

Define HAVE_EXIT_THREAD for archs which want to do something in
exit_thread. For others, let's define exit_thread as an empty inline.

This is a cleanup before we change the prototype of exit_thread to
accept a task parameter.

arm64: do not enforce strict 16 byte alignment to stack pointer

2016-05-12T13:20:49+00:00

copy_thread should not be enforcing 16 byte aligment and returning
-EINVAL. Other architectures trap misaligned stack access with SIGBUS
so arm64 should follow this convention, so remove the strict enforcement
check.

For example, currently clone(2) fails with -EINVAL when passing
a misaligned stack and this gives little clue to what is wrong. Instead,
it is arguable that a SIGBUS on the fist access to a misaligned stack
allows one to figure out that it is a misaligned stack issue rather
than trying to figure out why an unconventional (and undocumented)
-EINVAL is being returned.

arm64: kernel: Fix incorrect brk randomization

2016-05-11T10:38:10+00:00

This fixes two issues with the arm64 brk randomziation. First, the
STACK_RND_MASK was being used incorrectly. The original code was:

	unsigned long range_end = base + (STACK_RND_MASK << PAGE_SHIFT) + 1;

STACK_RND_MASK is 0x7ff (32-bit) or 0x3ffff (64-bit), with 4K pages where
PAGE_SHIFT is 12:

	#define STACK_RND_MASK	(test_thread_flag(TIF_32BIT) ? \
						0x7ff >> (PAGE_SHIFT - 12) : \
						0x3ffff >> (PAGE_SHIFT - 12))

This means the resulting offset from base would be 0x7ff0001 or 0x3ffff0001,
which is wrong since it creates an unaligned end address. It was likely
intended to be:

	unsigned long range_end = base + ((STACK_RND_MASK + 1) << PAGE_SHIFT)

Which would result in offsets of 0x800000 (32-bit) and 0x40000000 (64-bit).

However, even this corrected 32-bit compat offset (0x00800000) is much
smaller than native ARM's brk randomization value (0x02000000):

	unsigned long arch_randomize_brk(struct mm_struct *mm)
	{
	        unsigned long range_end = mm->brk + 0x02000000;
	        return randomize_range(mm->brk, range_end, 0) ? : mm->brk;
	}

So, instead of basing arm64's brk randomization on mistaken STACK_RND_MASK
calculations, just use specific corrected values for compat (0x2000000)
and native arm64 (0x40000000).

arm64: Remove the get_thread_info() function

2016-02-18T17:27:05+00:00

This function was introduced by previous commits implementing UAO.
However, it can be replaced with task_thread_info() in
uao_thread_switch() or get_fs() in do_page_fault() (the latter being
called only on the current context, so no need for using the saved
pt_regs).

arm64: kernel: Add support for User Access Override

2016-02-18T17:27:04+00:00

'User Access Override' is a new ARMv8.2 feature which allows the
unprivileged load and store instructions to be overridden to behave in
the normal way.

This patch converts {get,put}_user() and friends to use ldtr*/sttr*
instructions - so that they can only access EL0 memory, then enables
UAO when fs==KERNEL_DS so that these functions can access kernel memory.

This allows user space's read/write permissions to be checked against the
page tables, instead of testing addr

arm64: ftrace: fix a stack tracer's output under function graph tracer

2015-12-21T17:26:02+00:00

Function graph tracer modifies a return address (LR) in a stack frame
to hook a function return. This will result in many useless entries
(return_to_handler) showing up in
 a) a stack tracer's output
 b) perf call graph (with perf record -g)
 c) dump_backtrace (at panic et al.)

For example, in case of a),
  $ echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
  $ echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/stack_trace_enabled
  $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/stack_trace

  3)     4360      32   return_to_handler+0x0/0x40
  ...

In case of b),
  $ echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
  $ perf record -e mem:XXX:x -ag -- sleep 10
  $ perf report
                  ...

                  |          |          |          return_to_handler
                  ...

This patch replaces such entries with real addresses preserved in
current->ret_stack[] at unwind_frame(). This way, we can cover all
the cases.

arm64: pass a task parameter to unwind_frame()

2015-12-21T17:26:01+00:00

Function graph tracer modifies a return address (LR) in a stack frame
to hook a function's return. This will result in many useless entries
(return_to_handler) showing up in a call stack list.
We will fix this problem in a later patch ("arm64: ftrace: fix a stack
tracer's output under function graph tracer"). But since real return
addresses are saved in ret_stack[] array in struct task_struct,
unwind functions need to be notified of, in addition to a stack pointer
address, which task is being traced in order to find out real return
addresses.

This patch extends unwind functions' interfaces by adding an extra
argument of a pointer to task_struct.
