ipc/compat_sys_msgrcv: change msgtyp type from long to compat_long_t

2015-02-02T14:59:30+00:00

commit 291fdb0bcebd5e8db6af767c1fdc522167dad73d upstream.

Change the type of compat_sys_msgrcv's msgtyp parameter from long
to compat_long_t, since compat user space passes only a 32 bit signed
value.
Let the compat wrapper do proper sign extension to 64 bit of this
parameter.

ipc: fix compat msgrcv with negative msgtyp

2015-02-02T14:59:24+00:00

commit e7ca2552369c1dfe0216c626baf82c3d83ec36bb upstream.

Compat function takes msgtyp argument as u32 and passes it down to
do_msgrcv which results in casting to long, thus the sign is lost and we
get a big positive number instead.

Cast the argument to signed type before passing it down.

Move all message related manipulation into one function msg_fill().
Actually, two functions because of the compat one.

ipc: use Kconfig options for __ARCH_WANT_[COMPAT_]IPC_PARSE_VERSION

2012-07-31T00:25:21+00:00

Rather than #define the options manually in the architecture code, add
Kconfig options for them and select them there instead.  This also allows
us to select the compat IPC version parsing automatically for platforms
using the old compat IPC interface.

ipc: compat: use signed size_t types for msgsnd and msgrcv

2012-07-31T00:25:21+00:00

The msgsnd and msgrcv system calls use size_t to represent the size of the
message being transferred.  POSIX states that values of msgsz greater than
SSIZE_MAX cause the result to be implementation-defined.  On Linux, this
equates to returning -EINVAL if (long) msgsz < 0.

For compat tasks where !CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC and compat_size_t
is smaller than size_t, negative size values passed from userspace will be
interpreted as positive values by do_msg{rcv,snd} and will fail to exit
early with -EINVAL.

This patch changes the compat prototypes for msg{rcv,snd} so that the
message size is represented as a compat_ssize_t, which we cast to the
native ssize_t type for the core IPC code.

ipc: allow compat IPC version field parsing if !ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC

2012-07-31T00:25:21+00:00

Commit 48b25c43e6ee ("ipc: provide generic compat versions of IPC
syscalls") added a new ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC config option for
architectures to select if their compat target requires the old IPC
syscall interface.

For architectures (such as AArch64) that do not require the internal
calling conventions provided by this option, but have a compat target
where the C library passes the IPC_64 flag explicitly,
compat_ipc_parse_version no longer strips out the flag before calling
the native system call implementation, resulting in unknown SHM/IPC
commands and -EINVAL being returned to userspace.

This patch separates the selection of the internal calling conventions
for the IPC syscalls from the version parsing, allowing architectures to
select __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_IPC_PARSE_VERSION if they want to use version
parsing whilst retaining the newer syscall calling conventions.
