parisc: Fix pmd code to depend on PT_NLEVELS value, not on CONFIG_64BIT

2015-03-23T11:28:16+00:00

Make the code which sets up the pmd depend on PT_NLEVELS == 3, not on
CONFIG_64BIT. The reason is, that a 64bit kernel with a page size
greater than 4k doesn't need the pmd and thus has PT_NLEVELS = 2.

parisc: mm: don't count preallocated pmds

2015-03-23T11:28:15+00:00

The patch dc6c9a35b66b520cf67e05d8ca60ebecad3b0479 that counts pmds
allocated for a process introduced a bug on 64-bit PA-RISC kernels.

The PA-RISC architecture preallocates one pmd with each pgd. This
preallocated pmd can never be freed - pmd_free does nothing when it is
called with this pmd. When the kernel attempts to free this preallocated
pmd, it decreases the count of allocated pmds. The result is that the
counter underflows and this error is reported.

This patch fixes the bug by artifically incrementing the counter in
pmd_free when the kernel tries to free the preallocated pmd.

mm: add missing __PAGETABLE_{PUD,PMD}_FOLDED defines

2015-02-28T17:57:51+00:00

Core mm expects __PAGETABLE_{PUD,PMD}_FOLDED to be defined if these page
table levels folded.  Usually, these defines are provided by
 and .

But some architectures fold page table levels in a custom way.  They
need to define these macros themself.  This patch adds missing defines.

The patch fixes mm->nr_pmds underflow and eliminates dead __pmd_alloc()
and __pud_alloc() on architectures without these page table levels.

parisc: macro whitespace fixes

2015-02-17T09:39:14+00:00

While working on arch/parisc/include/asm/uaccess.h, I noticed that some
macros within this header are made harder to read because they violate a
coding style rule: space is missing after comma.

Fix it up.

parisc/uaccess: fix sparse errors

2015-02-16T21:41:27+00:00

virtio wants to read bitwise types from userspace using get_user.  At the
moment this triggers sparse errors, since the value is passed through an
integer.

Fix that up using __force.

all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct

2015-02-13T02:54:12+00:00

If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target.  This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.

Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.

Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.

It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

mm: make FIRST_USER_ADDRESS unsigned long on all archs

2015-02-12T01:06:03+00:00

LKP has triggered a compiler warning after my recent patch "mm: account
pmd page tables to the process":

    mm/mmap.c: In function 'exit_mmap':
 >> mm/mmap.c:2857:2: warning: right shift count >= width of type [enabled by default]

The code:

 > 2857                WARN_ON(mm_nr_pmds(mm) >
   2858                                round_up(FIRST_USER_ADDRESS, PUD_SIZE) >> PUD_SHIFT);

In this, on tile, we have FIRST_USER_ADDRESS defined as 0.  round_up() has
the same type -- int.  PUD_SHIFT.

I think the best way to fix it is to define FIRST_USER_ADDRESS as unsigned
long.  On every arch for consistency.
