binfmt_flat: allow compressed flat binary format to work on MMU systems

2016-07-28T03:29:12Z

Let's take the simple and obvious approach by decompressing the binary into a kernel buffer and then copying it to user space. Those who are looking for top performance on an MMU system are unlikely to choose this executable format anyway. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre Reviewed-by: Greg Ungerer Signed-off-by: Greg Ungerer

binfmt_flat: add MMU-specific support

2016-07-28T03:29:12Z

Not much else to do at this point except for the different stack setups. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre Reviewed-by: Greg Ungerer Signed-off-by: Greg Ungerer

binfmt_flat: update libraries' data segment pointer with userspace accessors

2016-07-28T03:29:11Z

This is needed on systems with a MMU. This also gets rid of the strangest C code I've seen lateli i.e. an integer indexed with a pointer value within square brackets. That really looked backwards. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre Reviewed-by: Greg Ungerer Signed-off-by: Greg Ungerer

binfmt_flat: use proper user space accessors with relocs processing code

2016-07-25T06:52:06Z

Relocs are fixed up in place in user space memory. The appropriate accessors are required for this code to work with an active MMU. The architecture specific handlers flat_get_addr_from_rp() and flat_put_addr_at_rp() for ARM and M68K are adjusted with separate patches. SuperH and Xtensa are left out as they doesn't implement __get_user_unaligned() and __put_user_unaligned() yet. The other architectures that use BFLT don't have any MMU.

binfmt_flat: clean up create_flat_tables() and stack accesses

2016-07-25T06:52:01Z

In addition to better code clarity, this brings proper usage of user memory accessors everywhere the stack is touched. This is essential for making this work on MMU systems. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre Reviewed-by: Greg Ungerer Signed-off-by: Greg Ungerer
