[parisc] open(2) compat bug

2012-12-03T19:13:09Z

In commit 9d73fc2d641f ("open*(2) compat fixes (s390, arm64)") I said: > > The usual rules for open()/openat()/open_by_handle_at() are > 1) native 32bit - don't force O_LARGEFILE in flags > 2) native 64bit - force O_LARGEFILE in flags > 3) compat on 64bit host - as for native 32bit > 4) native 32bit ABI for 64bit system (mips/n32, x86/x32) - as for native 64bit > > There are only two exceptions - s390 compat has open() forcing O_LARGEFILE and > arm64 compat has open_by_handle_at() doing the same thing. The same binaries > on native host (s390/31 and arm resp.) will *not* force O_LARGEFILE, so IMO > both are emulation bugs. Three exceptions, actually - parisc open() is another case like that. Native 32bit won't force O_LARGEFILE, the same binary on parisc64 will. Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PARISC] fix user-triggerable panic on parisc

2012-11-22T09:33:12Z

int sys32_rt_sigprocmask(int how, compat_sigset_t __user *set, compat_sigset_t __user *oset, unsigned int sigsetsize) { sigset_t old_set, new_set; int ret; if (set && get_sigset32(set, &new_set, sigsetsize)) ... static int get_sigset32(compat_sigset_t __user *up, sigset_t *set, size_t sz) { compat_sigset_t s; int r; if (sz != sizeof *set) panic("put_sigset32()"); In other words, rt_sigprocmask(69, (void *)69, 69) done by 32bit process will promptly panic the box.

This turns out to be correct and we need to pay attention to the pgoff as well as the address when creating the virtual address for the area. Fortunately, the bug is rarely triggered as most applications which use pgoff tend to use large values (git being the primary one, and it uses pgoff in multiples of 16MB) which are larger than our cache coherency modulus, so the problem isn't often seen in practise.

vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return it

2012-10-13T00:14:55Z

getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to the string. For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled, we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not need to recopy it from userspace. This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it. Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes convenient. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton Signed-off-by: Al Viro

mm: replace vma prio_tree with an interval tree

2012-10-09T07:22:39Z

Implement an interval tree as a replacement for the VMA prio_tree. The algorithms are similar to lib/interval_tree.c; however that code can't be directly reused as the interval endpoints are not explicitly stored in the VMA. So instead, the common algorithm is moved into a template and the details (node type, how to get interval endpoints from the node, etc) are filled in using the C preprocessor. Once the interval tree functions are available, using them as a replacement to the VMA prio tree is a relatively simple, mechanical job.

compat: move compat_siginfo_t definition to asm/compat.h

2012-10-05T18:05:16Z

This is a preparatory patch for the introduction of NT_SIGINFO elf note. Make the location of compat_siginfo_t uniform across eight architectures which have it. Now it can be pulled in by including asm/compat.h or linux/compat.h. Most of the copies are verbatim. compat_uid[32]_t had to be replaced by __compat_uid[32]_t. compat_uptr_t had to be moved up before compat_siginfo_t in asm/compat.h on a several architectures (tile already had it moved up). compat_sigval_t had to be relocated from linux/compat.h to asm/compat.h.

parisc: don't bother looping in do_signal()

2012-10-01T13:58:14Z

entry.S code had been looping until no pending signals are left since 2005 anyway; no need to bother with that in do_signal() itself. If the failure to set a sigframe up raises SIGSEGV, we'll just pick it up the next time around the loop(s) in entry.S anyway. Signed-off-by: Al Viro
