* MIPS: Fix build error due to PTR used in more placesThomas Bogendoerfer2022-01-271-4/+4

* signal/mips: Update (_save|_restore)_fp_context to fail with -EFAULTEric W. Biederman2021-10-251-9/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an instruction to save or restore a register from the stack fails in _save_fp_context or _restore_fp_context return with -EFAULT. This change was made to r2300_fpu.S[1] but it looks like it got lost with the introduction of EX2[2]. This is also what the other implementation of _save_fp_context and _restore_fp_context in r4k_fpu.S does, and what is needed for the callers to be able to handle the error. Furthermore calling do_exit(SIGSEGV) from bad_stack is wrong because it does not terminate the entire process it just terminates a single thread. As the changed code was the only caller of arch/mips/kernel/syscall.c:bad_stack remove the problematic and now unused helper function.

* MIPS: syscall: Emit Loongson3 sync workarounds within asmPaul Burton2019-10-071-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Generate the sync instructions required to workaround Loongson3 LL/SC errata within inline asm blocks, which feels a little safer than doing it from C where strictly speaking the compiler would be well within its rights to insert a memory access between the separate asm statements we previously had, containing sync & ll instructions respectively.

* mips/atomic: Fix loongson_llsc_mb() wreckagePeter Zijlstra2019-08-311-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The comment describing the loongson_llsc_mb() reorder case doesn't make any sense what so ever. Instruction re-ordering is not an SMP artifact, but rather a CPU local phenomenon. Clarify the comment by explaining that these issue cause a coherence fail. For the branch speculation case; if futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() needs one at the bne branch target, then surely the normal __cmpxch_asm() implementation does too. We cannot rely on the barriers from cmpxchg() because cmpxchg_local() is implemented with the same macro, and branch prediction and speculation are, too, CPU local.

* Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() functionLinus Torvalds2019-01-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* MIPS: Avoid using .set mips0 to restore ISAPaul Burton2018-11-091-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently have 2 commonly used methods for switching ISA within assembly code, then restoring the original ISA. 1) Using a pair of .set push & .set pop directives. For example: .set push .set mips32r2 <some_insn> .set pop 2) Using .set mips0 to restore the ISA originally specified on the command line. For example: .set mips32r2 <some_insn> .set mips0 Unfortunately method 2 does not work with nanoMIPS toolchains, where the assembler rejects the .set mips0 directive like so: Error: cannot change ISA from nanoMIPS to mips0 In preparation for supporting nanoMIPS builds, switch all instances of method 2 in generic non-platform-specific code to use push & pop as in method 1 instead. The .set push & .set pop is arguably cleaner anyway, and if nothing else it's good to consistently use one method.

* mm: add ksys_mmap_pgoff() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_mmap_pgoff()Dominik Brodowski2018-04-021-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_mmap_pgoff() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the same calling convention as sys_mmap_pgoff(). This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

* MIPS: Save static registers before sysmipsJames Hogan2017-06-281-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The MIPS sysmips system call handler may return directly from the MIPS_ATOMIC_SET case (mips_atomic_set()) to syscall_exit. This path restores the static (callee saved) registers, however they won't have been saved on entry to the system call. Use the save_static_function() macro to create a __sys_sysmips wrapper function which saves the static registers before calling sys_sysmips, so that the correct static register state is restored by syscall_exit.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The inline asm retry check in the MIPS_ATOMIC_SET operation of the sysmips system call has been backwards since commit f1e39a4a616c ("MIPS: Rewrite sysmips(MIPS_ATOMIC_SET, ...) in C with inline assembler") merged in v2.6.32, resulting in the non R10000_LLSC_WAR case retrying until the operation was inatomic, before returning the new value that was probably just written multiple times instead of the old value.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the issue with the ISA bit being lost in fixups that jump to labels placed just before a section switch. Such a switch leads to the ISA bit being lost, because GAS concludes there is no code that follows and therefore the label refers to data. Use the `.insn' pseudo-op to convince the tool this is not the case.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

This is because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to copy_strings_kernel(). A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel(). do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as const should be fine.

* MIPS: Preliminary VDSODavid Daney2010-04-121-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a preliminary patch to add a vdso to all user processes. Still missing are ELF headers and .eh_frame information. But it is enough to allow us to move signal trampolines off of the stack. Note that emulation of branch delay slots in the FPU emulator still requires the stack. We allocate a single page (the vdso) and write all possible signal trampolines into it. The stack is moved down by one page and the vdso is mapped into this space.

* include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

* Add generic sys_olduname()Christoph Hellwig2010-03-131-42/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add generic implementations of the old and really old uname system calls. Note that sh only implements sys_olduname but not sys_oldolduname, but I'm not going to bother with another ifdef for that special case. m32r implemented an old uname but never wired it up, so kill it, too.

* Add generic sys_ipc wrapperChristoph Hellwig2010-03-131-88/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a generic implementation of the ipc demultiplexer syscall. Except for s390 and sparc64 all implementations of the sys_ipc are nearly identical. There are slight differences in the types of the parameters, where mips and powerpc as the only 64-bit architectures with sys_ipc use unsigned long for the "third" argument as it gets casted to a pointer later, while it traditionally is an "int" like most other paramters. frv goes even further and uses unsigned long for all parameters execept for "ptr" which is a pointer type everywhere. The change from int to unsigned long for "third" and back to "int" for the others on frv should be fine due to the in-register calling conventions for syscalls (we already had a similar issue with the generic sys_ptrace), but I'd prefer to have the arch maintainers looks over this in details. Except for that h8300, m68k and m68knommu lack an impplementation of the semtimedop sub call which this patch adds, and various architectures have gets used - at least on i386 it seems superflous as the compat code on x86-64 and ia64 doesn't even bother to implement it.
