arm64: elf: fix core dumping to match what glibc expects

2013-01-22T17:50:59+00:00

The kernel's internal definition of ELF_NGREG uses struct pt_regs, which
means that we disagree with userspace on the size of coredumps since
glibc correctly uses the user-visible struct user_pt_regs.

This patch fixes our ELF_NGREG definition to use struct user_pt_regs
and introduces our own ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS to convert between the user
and kernel structure definitions.

arm64: compat: add syscall table entries for new syscalls

2013-01-15T17:15:16+00:00

There have been a number of new syscalls introduced to arch/arm/ since
the compat layer was implemented for arm64, so add pointers to the
relevant functions to the compat syscall table.

arm64: dts: prevent *.dtb from always being rebuilt

2013-01-14T14:08:28+00:00

if_changed (used by the *.dts->*.dtc rule) rebuilds files if they aren't
contained in $(targets). (make V=2 indicates this). Add $(dtb-y) to
$(targets) to prevent *.dtb from always being rebuilt. Note

This fixes a regression introduced by the .dtb rule rework in da4cbc6
"arm64: use new common dtc rule", although since arm64 doesn't actually
have any *.dts yet, this isn't a critical issue.

arm64: mm: introduce present, faulting entries for PAGE_NONE

2013-01-10T10:48:48+00:00

This is mostly a port of dbf62d50067e ("ARM: mm: introduce L_PTE_VALID
for page table entries") and 26ffd0d43b18 ("ARM: mm: introduce present,
faulting entries for PAGE_NONE") from ARM, which makes use of present,
faulting page table entries for page table entries mapped as PROT_NONE.

The main difference with this implementation is that we can make use of
the two pte type bits in order to avoid allocating a software bit for
identifying PROT_NONE pages, instead reserving the 10b suffix for these
types of mappings.

This is required to prevent users from accessing such pages via syscalls
such as read/write over a pipe.

arm64: mm: only wrprotect clean ptes if they are present

2013-01-10T10:43:44+00:00

Marking non-present ptes as read-only can corrupt file ptes, breaking
things like swap and file mappings.

This patch ensures that we only manipulate user pte bits when the pte
is marked present.

arm64: vdso: remove broken, redundant sequence counting for timezones

2013-01-10T10:43:43+00:00

This patch is an arm64 version of ce73ec6db47a ("powerpc/vdso: Remove
redundant locking in update_vsyscall_tz()").

Timezone data is not protected, so the sequence counter is not required
to ensure consistency. Furthermore, having multiple paths updating the
counter leads to a race between update_vsyscall and update_vsyscall_tz,
so remove the timezone sequence counting from both the kernel and the
vdso.

ARCH: drivers remove __dev* attributes.

2013-01-03T23:57:13+00:00

This fixes up all of the smaller arches that had __dev* markings for
their platform-specific drivers.

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.
