License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no license

2017-11-02T10:19:54Z

Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default are files without license information under the default license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception which is in the kernels COPYING file: NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". otherwise syscall usage would not be possible. Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the methodology of how this patch was researched.

s390/gs: add regset for the guarded storage broadcast control block

2017-04-21T10:38:56Z

The guarded storage interface allows to register a control block for each thread that is activated with the guarded storage broadcast event. To retrieve the complete state of a process from the kernel a register set for the stored broadcast control block is required. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390: add a system call for guarded storage

2017-03-22T07:14:25Z

This adds a new system call to enable the use of guarded storage for user space processes. The system call takes two arguments, a command and pointer to a guarded storage control block: s390_guarded_storage(int command, struct gs_cb *gs_cb); The second argument is relevant only for the GS_SET_BC_CB command. The commands in detail: 0 - GS_ENABLE Enable the guarded storage facility for the current task. The initial content of the guarded storage control block will be all zeros. After the enablement the user space code can use load-guarded-storage-controls instruction (LGSC) to load an arbitrary control block. While a task is enabled the kernel will save and restore the current content of the guarded storage registers on context switch. 1 - GS_DISABLE Disables the use of the guarded storage facility for the current task. The kernel will cease to save and restore the content of the guarded storage registers, the task specific content of these registers is lost. 2 - GS_SET_BC_CB Set a broadcast guarded storage control block. This is called per thread and stores a specific guarded storage control block in the task struct of the current task. This control block will be used for the broadcast event GS_BROADCAST. 3 - GS_CLEAR_BC_CB Clears the broadcast guarded storage control block. The guarded- storage control block is removed from the task struct that was established by GS_SET_BC_CB. 4 - GS_BROADCAST Sends a broadcast to all thread siblings of the current task. Every sibling that has established a broadcast guarded storage control block will load this control block and will be enabled for guarded storage. The broadcast guarded storage control block is used up, a second broadcast without a refresh of the stored control block with GS_SET_BC_CB will not have any effect. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

elf: Add powerpc specific core note sections

2016-08-01T01:15:14Z

This patch adds twelve ELF core note sections for powerpc architecture for various registers and register sets which need to be accessed from ptrace interface and then gdb. These additions include special purpose registers like TAR, PPR, DSCR, TM running and checkpointed state for various register sets, EBB related register set, performance monitor register set etc. Addition of these new ELF core note sections extends the existing ELF ABI on powerpc arch without affecting it in any manner.

Elf: add livepatch-specific Elf constants

2016-04-01T13:00:10Z

Livepatch manages its own relocation sections and symbols in order to be able to reuse module loader code to write relocations. This removes livepatch's dependence on separate "dynrela" sections to write relocations and also allows livepatch to patch modules that are not yet loaded. The livepatch Elf relocation section flag (SHF_RELA_LIVEPATCH), and symbol section index (SHN_LIVEPATCH) allow both livepatch and the module loader to identity livepatch relocation sections and livepatch symbols. Livepatch relocation sections are marked with SHF_RELA_LIVEPATCH to indicate to the module loader that it should not apply that relocation section and that livepatch will handle them. The SHN_LIVEPATCH shndx marks symbols that will be resolved by livepatch. The module loader ignores these symbols and does not attempt to resolve them. The values of these Elf constants were selected from OS-specific ranges according to the definitions from glibc.

arm64: ptrace: add NT_ARM_SYSTEM_CALL regset

2014-11-28T10:19:49Z

This regeset is intended to be used to get and set a system call number while tracing. There was some discussion about possible approaches to do so: (1) modify x8 register with ptrace(PTRACE_SETREGSET) indirectly, and update regs->syscallno later on in syscall_trace_enter(), or (2) define a dedicated regset for this purpose as on s390, or (3) support ptrace(PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL) as on arch/arm Thinking of the fact that user_pt_regs doesn't expose 'syscallno' to tracer as well as that secure_computing() expects a changed syscall number, especially case of -1, to be visible before this function returns in syscall_trace_enter(), (1) doesn't work well. We will take (2) since it looks much cleaner. Signed-off-by: AKASHI Takahiro Signed-off-by: Will Deacon
