SolutionEngine771x: fix Ether platform data

2018-03-03T09:19:45+00:00

[ Upstream commit 195e2addbce09e5afbc766efc1e6567c9ce840d3 ]

The 'sh_eth' driver's probe() method would fail  on the SolutionEngine7710
board and crash on SolutionEngine7712 board  as the platform code is
hopelessly behind the driver's platform data --  it passes the PHY address
instead of 'struct sh_eth_plat_data *'; pass the latter to the driver in
order to fix the bug...

serial: sh-sci: Fix register offsets for the IRDA serial port

2017-11-15T16:13:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit a752ba18af8285e3eeda572f40dddaebff0c3621 ]

Even though most of its registers are 8-bit wide, the IRDA has two
16-bit registers that make it a 16-bit peripheral and not a 8-bit
peripheral with addresses shifted by one. Fix the registers offset in
the driver and the platform data regshift value.

mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas

2017-06-26T05:13:11+00:00

commit 1be7107fbe18eed3e319a6c3e83c78254b693acb upstream.

Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.

This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
unfortunatelly.

Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.

One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
for some special case applications.  For now, add a kernel command line
option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).

Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
and strict non-overcommit mode.

Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
(or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few
places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(),
and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

sh64: failing __get_user() should zero

It could be done in exception-handling bits in __get_user_b() et.al.,

sh64: fix __NR_fgetxattr

2015-12-12T18:15:34+00:00

According to arch/sh/kernel/syscalls_64.S and common sense, __NR_fgetxattr
has to be defined to 259, but it doesn't.  Instead, it's defined to 269,
which is of course used by another syscall, __NR_sched_setaffinity in this
case.

This bug was found by strace test suite.
