signal: Replace memset(info,...) with clear_siginfo for clarity

2018-01-23T01:07:08+00:00

The function clear_siginfo is just a nice wrapper around memset so
this results in no functional change.  This change makes mistakes
a little more difficult and it makes it clearer what is going on.

Do not hash userspace addresses in fault handlers

2017-12-20T01:04:43+00:00

The hashing of %p was designed to restrict kernel addresses. There is
no reason to hash the userspace values seen during a segfault report,
so switch these to %px. (Some architectures already use %lx.)

Fixes: ad67b74d2469d9b8 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p")

sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to

2017-03-02T07:42:34+00:00

We are going to split  out of , which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder  file that just
maps to  to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

We always have vma->vm_mm around.

um: Fix kernel mode fault condition

2015-10-19T20:53:37+00:00

We have to exclude memory locations <= PAGE_SIZE from
the condition and let the kernel mode fault path catch it.
Otherwise a kernel NULL pointer exception will be reported
as a kernel user space access.

um: Fix do_signal() prototype

2015-07-07T08:58:54+00:00

Once x86 exports its do_signal(), the prototypes will clash.

Fix the clash and also improve the code a bit: remove the
unnecessary kern_do_signal() indirection. This allows
interrupt_end() to share the 'regs' parameter calculation.

Also remove the unused return code to match x86.

Minimally build and boot tested.

um: Catch unprotected user memory access

2015-05-31T17:21:51+00:00

If the kernel tries to access user memory without copy_from_user()
a trap will happen as kernel and userspace run in different processes
on the host side. Currently this special page fault cannot be resolved
and will happen over and over again. As result UML will lockup.
This patch allows the page fault code to detect that situation and
causes a panic() such that the root cause of the unprotected memory
access can be found and fixed.
