xtensa: use %*pb[l] to print bitmaps including cpumasks and nodemasks

2015-02-14T05:21:37+00:00

printk and friends can now format bitmaps using '%*pb[l]'.  cpumask
and nodemask also provide cpumask_pr_args() and nodemask_pr_args()
respectively which can be used to generate the two printf arguments
necessary to format the specified cpu/nodemask.

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.

Xtensa improvements for 3.18:

- fix nommu support;
- remove s6000 variant and s6105 platform.

xtensa: move vecbase SR initialization to _startup

2014-10-21T09:28:55+00:00

Instead of initializing vecbase in initialize_mmu macro, which may be
expanded either in Image.elf reset vector hadler or in the kernel
head.S, both times only when CONFIG_MMU is enabled, do this
initialization once in _startup function.

Pull audit updates from Eric Paris:
 "So this change across a whole bunch of arches really solves one basic
  problem.  We want to audit when seccomp is killing a process.  seccomp
  hooks in before the audit syscall entry code.  audit_syscall_entry
  took as an argument the arch of the given syscall.  Since the arch is
  part of what makes a syscall number meaningful it's an important part
  of the record, but it isn't available when seccomp shoots the
  syscall...

  For most arch's we have a better way to get the arch (syscall_get_arch)
  So the solution was two fold: Implement syscall_get_arch() everywhere
  there is audit which didn't have it.  Use syscall_get_arch() in the
  seccomp audit code.  Having syscall_get_arch() everywhere meant it was
  a useless flag on the stack and we could get rid of it for the typical
  syscall entry.

  The other changes inside the audit system aren't grand, fixed some
  records that had invalid spaces.  Better locking around the task comm
  field.  Removing some dead functions and structs.  Make some things
  static.  Really minor stuff"

* git://git.infradead.org/users/eparis/audit: (31 commits)
  audit: rename audit_log_remove_rule to disambiguate for trees
  audit: cull redundancy in audit_rule_change
  audit: WARN if audit_rule_change called illegally
  audit: put rule existence check in canonical order
  next: openrisc: Fix build
  audit: get comm using lock to avoid race in string printing
  audit: remove open_arg() function that is never used
  audit: correct AUDIT_GET_FEATURE return message type
  audit: set nlmsg_len for multicast messages.
  audit: use union for audit_field values since they are mutually exclusive
  audit: invalid op= values for rules
  audit: use atomic_t to simplify audit_serial()
  kernel/audit.c: use ARRAY_SIZE instead of sizeof/sizeof[0]
  audit: reduce scope of audit_log_fcaps
  audit: reduce scope of audit_net_id
  audit: arm64: Remove the audit arch argument to audit_syscall_entry
  arm64: audit: Add audit hook in syscall_trace_enter/exit()
  audit: x86: drop arch from __audit_syscall_entry() interface
  sparc: implement is_32bit_task
  sparc: properly conditionalize use of TIF_32BIT
  ...

ARCH: AUDIT: audit_syscall_entry() should not require the arch

2014-09-23T20:21:26+00:00

We have a function where the arch can be queried, syscall_get_arch().
So rather than have every single piece of arch specific code use and/or
duplicate syscall_get_arch(), just have the audit code use the
syscall_get_arch() code.
