Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

<id>2367c4b5fa09b2947d03c5cd23d7bc0200b7fe4f</id>
<content type='text'>
Now that 32-bit architectures have two variants of sys_rt_sigtimedwaid()
for 32-bit and 64-bit time_t, we also need to have a second compat system
call entry point on the corresponding 64-bit architectures.

The traditional system call keeps getting handled
by compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait(), and this adds a new
compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait_time64() that differs only in the timeout
argument type.

The naming remains a bit asymmetric for the moment. Ideally we would
want to have compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait_time32() for the old version
and compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait() for the new one to mirror the names
of the native entry points, but renaming the existing system call
tables causes unnecessary churn. I would suggest renaming all such
system calls together at a later point.

Once sys_rt_sigtimedwait() gets changed to a 64-bit time_t, we have
to provide compatibility support for existing binaries.

An earlier version of this patch reused the compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait
entry point to avoid code duplication, but this newer approach
duplicates the existing native entry point instead, which seems
a bit cleaner.

Refactor the logic to restore the sigmask before the syscall
returns into an api.
This is useful for versions of syscalls that pass in the
sigmask and expect the current-&gt;sigmask to be changed during
the execution and restored after the execution of the syscall.

With the advent of new y2038 syscalls in the subsequent patches,
we add two more new versions of the syscalls (for pselect, ppoll
and io_pgetevents) in addition to the existing native and compat
versions. Adding such an api reduces the logic that would need to
be replicated otherwise.

Refactor reading sigset from userspace and updating sigmask
into an api.

This is useful for versions of syscalls that pass in the
sigmask and expect the current-&gt;sigmask to be changed during,
and restored after, the execution of the syscall.

With the advent of new y2038 syscalls in the subsequent patches,
we add two more new versions of the syscalls (for pselect, ppoll,
and io_pgetevents) in addition to the existing native and compat
versions. Adding such an api reduces the logic that would need to
be replicated otherwise.

Note that the calls to sigprocmask() ignored the return value
from the api as the function only returns an error on an invalid
first argument that is hardcoded at these call sites.
The updated logic uses set_current_blocked() instead.

Pull siginfo updates from Eric Biederman:
 "I have been slowly sorting out siginfo and this is the culmination of
  that work.

  The primary result is in several ways the signal infrastructure has
  been made less error prone. The code has been updated so that manually
  specifying SEND_SIG_FORCED is never necessary. The conversion to the
  new siginfo sending functions is now complete, which makes it
  difficult to send a signal without filling in the proper siginfo
  fields.

  At the tail end of the patchset comes the optimization of decreasing
  the size of struct siginfo in the kernel from 128 bytes to about 48
  bytes on 64bit. The fundamental observation that enables this is by
  definition none of the known ways to use struct siginfo uses the extra
  bytes.

  This comes at the cost of a small user space observable difference.
  For the rare case of siginfo being injected into the kernel only what
  can be copied into kernel_siginfo is delivered to the destination, the
  rest of the bytes are set to 0. For cases where the signal and the
  si_code are known this is safe, because we know those bytes are not
  used. For cases where the signal and si_code combination is unknown
  the bits that won't fit into struct kernel_siginfo are tested to
  verify they are zero, and the send fails if they are not.

  I made an extensive search through userspace code and I could not find
  anything that would break because of the above change. If it turns out
  I did break something it will take just the revert of a single change
  to restore kernel_siginfo to the same size as userspace siginfo.

  Testing did reveal dependencies on preferring the signo passed to
  sigqueueinfo over si-&gt;signo, so bit the bullet and added the
  complexity necessary to handle that case.

  Testing also revealed bad things can happen if a negative signal
  number is passed into the system calls. Something no sane application
  will do but something a malicious program or a fuzzer might do. So I
  have fixed the code that performs the bounds checks to ensure negative

While fixing an out of bounds array access in known_siginfo_layout
reported by the kernel test robot it became apparent that the same bug
exists in siginfo_layout and affects copy_siginfo_from_user32.

The straight forward fix that makes guards against making this mistake
in the future and should keep the code size small is to just take an
unsigned signal number instead of a signed signal number, as I did to
fix known_siginfo_layout.

The bounds checks in known_siginfo_layout only guards against positive
numbers that are too large, large negative can slip through and
can cause out of bounds accesses.

Ordinarily this is not a concern because early in signal processing
the signal number is filtered with valid_signal which ensures it
is a small positive signal number, but copy_siginfo_from_user
is called before this check is performed.

Therefore fix known_siginfo_layout to take an unsigned signal number
instead of a signed signal number.  All valid signal numbers are small
positive numbers so they will not be affected, but invalid negative
signal numbers will now become large positive signal numbers and will
not be used as indices into the sig_sicodes array.

Making the signal number unsigned makes it difficult for similar mistakes to
happen in the future.
