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.

arch: Remove stub cputime.h headers

2014-03-13T15:09:30+00:00

Many architectures have a stub cputime.h that only include the default
cputime.h

Lets remove the useless headers, we only need to mention that we want
the default headers on the Kbuild files.

locking/mcs: Order the header files in Kbuild of each architecture in alphabetical order

2014-02-09T20:17:50+00:00

We perform a clean up of the Kbuid files in each architecture.
We order the files in each Kbuild in alphabetical order
by running the below script.

for i in arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild
do
        cat $i | gawk '/^generic-y/ {
                i = 3;
                do {
                        for (; i <= NF; i++) {
                                if ($i == "\\") {
                                        getline;
                                        i = 1;
                                        continue;
                                }
                                if ($i != "")
                                        hdr[$i] = $i;
                        }
                        break;
                } while (1);
                next;
        }
        // {

        }
        END {
                n = asort(hdr);
                for (i = 1; i <= n; i++)
                        print "generic-y += " hdr[i];
        }' > ${i}.sorted;
        mv ${i}.sorted $i;

Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
 - a new jpeg codec driver for Samsung Exynos (jpeg-hw-exynos4)
 - a new dvb frontend for ds2103 chipset (m88ds2103)
 - a new sensor driver for Samsung S5K5BAF UXGA (s5k5baf)
 - new drivers for R-Car VSP1
 - a new radio driver: radio-raremono
 - a new tuner driver for ts2022 chipset (m88ts2022)
 - the analog part of em28xx is now a separate module that only
   load/runs if the device is not a pure digital TV device
 - added a staging driver for bcm2048 radio devices
 - the omap 2 video driver (omap24xx) was moved to staging.  This driver
   is for an old hardware and uses a deprecated Kernel internal API.  If
   nobody cares enough to fix it, it would be removed on a couple Kernel
   releases
 - the sn9c102 driver was moved to staging.  This driver was replaced by
   gspca, and disabled on some distros, as almost all devices are known
   to work properly with gspca.  It should be removed from kernel on a
   couple Kernel releases
 - lots of driver fixes, improvements and cleanups
