xtensa: fix boot parameters address translation

2018-11-21T08:25:59+00:00

commit 40dc948f234b73497c3278875eb08a01d5854d3f upstream.

The bootloader may pass physical address of the boot parameters structure
to the MMUv3 kernel in the register a2. Code in the _SetupMMU block in
the arch/xtensa/kernel/head.S is supposed to map that physical address to
the virtual address in the configured virtual memory layout.

This code haven't been updated when additional 256+256 and 512+512
memory layouts were introduced and it may produce wrong addresses when
used with these layouts.

xtensa: add NOTES section to the linker script

2018-11-21T08:25:59+00:00

commit 4119ba211bc4f1bf638f41e50b7a0f329f58aa16 upstream.

This section collects all source .note.* sections together in the
vmlinux image. Without it .note.Linux section may be placed at address
0, while the rest of the kernel is at its normal address, resulting in a
huge vmlinux.bin image that may not be linked into the xtensa Image.elf.

signal/xtensa: Consistenly use SIGBUS in do_unaligned_user

2018-07-03T09:23:06+00:00

commit 7de712ccc096b81d23cc0a941cd9b8cb3956605d upstream.

While working on changing this code to use force_sig_fault I
discovered that do_unaliged_user is sets si_signo to SIGBUS and passes
SIGSEGV to force_sig_info.  Which is just b0rked.

The code is reporting a SIGBUS error so replace the SIGSEGV with SIGBUS.

xtensa: don't limit csum_partial export by CONFIG_NET

2017-08-16T20:43:16+00:00

commit 7f81e55c737a8fa82c71f290945d729a4902f8d2 upstream.

csum_partial and csum_partial_copy_generic are defined unconditionally
and are available even when CONFIG_NET is disabled. They are used not
only by the network drivers, but also by scsi and media.
Don't limit these functions export by CONFIG_NET.

mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas

2017-06-24T05:11:18+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.

xtensa: don't use linux IRQ #0

2017-06-17T04:41:58+00:00

commit e5c86679d5e864947a52fb31e45a425dea3e7fa9 upstream.

Linux IRQ #0 is reserved for error reporting and may not be used.
Increase NR_IRQS for one additional slot and increase
irq_domain_add_legacy parameter first_irq value to 1, so that linux
IRQ #0 is not associated with hardware IRQ #0 in legacy IRQ domains.
Introduce macro XTENSA_PIC_LINUX_IRQ for static translation of xtensa
PIC hardware IRQ # to linux IRQ #. Use this macro in XTFPGA platform
data definitions.

This fixes inability to use hardware IRQ #0 in configurations that don't
use device tree and allows for non-identity mapping between linux IRQ #
and hardware IRQ #.

xtensa: move parse_tag_fdt out of #ifdef CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD

commit 4ab18701c66552944188dbcd0ce0012729baab84 upstream.

FDT tag parsing is not related to whether BLK_DEV_INITRD is configured
or not, move it out of the corresponding #ifdef/#endif block.
This fixes passing external FDT to the kernel configured w/o
BLK_DEV_INITRD support.

xtensa: fix noMMU build on cores with MMU

commit 4b3e6f2ef3722f1a6a97b6034ed492c1a21fd4ae upstream.

Commit bf15f86b343ed8 ("xtensa: initialize MMU before jumping to reset
vector") calls MMU management functions even when CONFIG_MMU is not
selected. That breaks noMMU build on cores with MMU.

Don't manage MMU when CONFIG_MMU is not selected.

 "Preparations to tree-wide switch to use of linux/uaccess.h (which,

  there, ie

  after -rc1.  However, everything should be ready for it"
