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.

commit d3805c546b275c8cc7d40f759d029ae92c7175f2 upstream.

Ensure that if userspace supplies insufficient data to PTRACE_SETREGSET
to fill all the registers, the thread's old registers are preserved.

<title>sparc64: fix incorrect sign extension in sys_sparc64_personality</title>

commit 525fd5a94e1be0776fa652df5c687697db508c91 upstream.

The value returned by sys_personality has type "long int".
It is saved to a variable of type "int", which is not a problem
yet because the type of task_struct-&gt;pesonality is "unsigned int".
The problem is the sign extension from "int" to "long int"
that happens on return from sys_sparc64_personality.

For example, a userspace call personality((unsigned) -EINVAL) will
result to any subsequent personality call, including absolutely
harmless read-only personality(0xffffffff) call, failing with
errno set to EINVAL.

[ Upstream commit 31aaa98c248da766ece922bbbe8cc78cfd0bc920 ]

With the increase in number of CPUs calls to functions that dump
output to console (e.g., arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace) can take
a long time to complete. If IRQs are disabled eventually the NMI
watchdog kicks in and creates more havoc. Avoid by telling the NMI
watchdog everything is ok.

Currently perf-stat (aka, counting mode) does not work:

$ perf stat ls
...
 Performance counter stats for 'ls':

          1.585665      task-clock (msec)         #    0.580 CPUs utilized
                24      context-switches          #    0.015 M/sec

   &lt;not supported&gt;      branches
   &lt;not supported&gt;      branch-misses

The reason is that state is never reset (stays with PERF_HES_UPTODATE set).
Add a call to sparc_pmu_enable_event during the added_event handling.
Clean up the encoding since pmu_start calls sparc_pmu_enable_event which
does the same. Passing PERF_EF_RELOAD to sparc_pmu_start means the call
to sparc_perf_event_set_period can be removed as well.

With this patch:

perf_pmu_disable is called by core perf code before pmu-&gt;del and the
enable function is called by core perf code afterwards. No need to

[ Upstream commit 53eb2516972b8c4628651dfcb926cb9ef8b2864a ]

A bug was reported that the semtimedop() system call was always
failing eith ENOSYS.

Since SEMCTL is defined as 3, and SEMTIMEDOP is defined as 4,
the comparison "call &lt;= SEMCTL" will always prevent SEMTIMEDOP
from getting through to the semaphore ops switch statement.

This is corrected by changing the comparison to "call &lt;= SEMTIMEDOP".

====================

The problem is that pbm-&gt;pci_bus-&gt;self is NULL.

This code is trying to go through the standard PCI config space
interfaces to read the PCI controller's PCI_STATUS register.

This doesn't work, because we more often than not do not enumerate
the PCI controller as a bonafide PCI device during the OF device
node scan.  Therefore bus-&gt;self remains NULL.

Existing common code for PSYCHO and PSYCHO-like PCI controllers
handles this properly, by doing the config space access directly.

Do the same here, pbm-&gt;pci_ops-&gt;{read,write}().

====================

The problem is that pbm-&gt;pci_bus-&gt;self is NULL.

This code is trying to go through the standard PCI config space
interfaces to read the PCI controller's PCI_STATUS register.

This doesn't work, because we more often than not do not enumerate
the PCI controller as a bonafide PCI device during the OF device
node scan.  Therefore bus-&gt;self remains NULL.

Existing common code for PSYCHO and PSYCHO-like PCI controllers
handles this properly, by doing the config space access directly.

Do the same here, pbm-&gt;pci_ops-&gt;{read,write}().
