cris: Use get_signal() signal_setup_done()

2019-05-02T20:41:42+00:00

commit fa0197722eb7559a6a9733881bbb8d9e76364f33 upstream.

Use the more generic functions get_signal() signal_setup_done()
for signal delivery.

Make asm/word-at-a-time.h available on all architectures

2018-10-21T07:46:11+00:00

commit a6e2f029ae34f41adb6ae3812c32c5d326e1abd2 upstream.

Added the x86 implementation of word-at-a-time to the
generic version, which previously only supported big-endian.

Omitted the x86-specific load_unaligned_zeropad(), which in
any case is also not present for the existing BE-only
implementation of a word-at-a-time, and is only used under
CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS.

Added as a "generic-y" to the Kbuilds of all architectures
that didn't previously have it.

cris: drop _PAGE_FILE and pte_file()-related helpers

commit 103f3d9a26df944f4c29de190d72dfbf913c71af upstream.

We've replaced remap_file_pages(2) implementation with emulation.  Nobody
creates non-linear mapping anymore.

ptrace: Don't allow accessing an undumpable mm

2018-01-01T20:52:11+00:00

commit 84d77d3f06e7e8dea057d10e8ec77ad71f721be3 upstream.

It is the reasonable expectation that if an executable file is not
readable there will be no way for a user without special privileges to
read the file.  This is enforced in ptrace_attach but if ptrace
is already attached before exec there is no enforcement for read-only
executables.

As the only way to read such an mm is through access_process_vm
spin a variant called ptrace_access_vm that will fail if the
target process is not being ptraced by the current process, or
the current process did not have sufficient privileges when ptracing
began to read the target processes mm.

In the ptrace implementations replace access_process_vm by
ptrace_access_vm.  There remain several ptrace sites that still use
access_process_vm as they are reading the target executables
instructions (for kernel consumption) or register stacks.  As such it
does not appear necessary to add a permission check to those calls.

This bug has always existed in Linux.

cris: Only build flash rescue image if CONFIG_ETRAX_AXISFLASHMAP is selected

2017-03-16T02:26:18+00:00

commit 328cf6927bb72cadefddebbc9a23c793108147a2 upstream.

If CONFIG_ETRAX_AXISFLASHMAP is not configured, the flash rescue image
object file is empty. With recent versions of binutils, this results
in the following build error.

cris-linux-objcopy: error:
	the input file 'arch/cris/boot/rescue/rescue.o' has no sections

This is seen, for example, when trying to build cris:allnoconfig
with recently generated toolchains.

Since it does not make sense to build a flash rescue image if there is
no flash, only build it if CONFIG_ETRAX_AXISFLASHMAP is enabled.

small constant size.

vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling support

2015-02-04T10:58:27+00:00

commit 33692f27597fcab536d7cbbcc8f52905133e4aa7 upstream.

The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
"you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.

That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
retries etc" - but it generally works.  However, there are cases where
the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.

In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
SIGSEGV.  And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
that duplicated architecture fault handler.

However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error
from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space.  And user space really
expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.

To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
duplicate architecture fault handlers about it.  They all already have
the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.

This is the mindless minimal patch to do this.  A more extensive patch
would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
cleanup.

Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
"newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
them too.

cris: update comments for generic idle conversion

2014-06-06T23:08:18+00:00

As of commit 8dc7c5ecd8d0 ("cris: Use generic idle loop"), cris no
longer provides cpu_idle().

- On cris-v10, etrax_gpio_wake_up_check() is called from default_idle()
  instead of cpu_idle(),

- On cris-v32, etrax_gpio_wake_up_check() is not called from
  default_idle(), so remove this (copy-and-paste?) part.

sys_sgetmask and sys_ssetmask are obsolete system calls no longer
supported in libc.

This patch replaces architecture related __ARCH_WANT_SYS_SGETMAX by expert
