powerpc/kernel: Add SIG_SYS support for compat tasks

2015-07-29T01:56:13Z

SIG_SYS was added in commit a0727e8ce513 "signal, x86: add SIGSYS info and make it synchronous." Because we use the asm-generic struct siginfo, we got support for SIG_SYS for free as part of that commit. However there was no compat handling added for powerpc. That means we've been advertising the existence of signfo._sifields._sigsys to compat tasks, but not actually filling in the fields correctly. Luckily it looks like no one has noticed, presumably because the only user of SIGSYS in the kernel is seccomp filter, which we don't support yet. So before we enable seccomp filter, add compat handling for SIGSYS. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Reviewed-by: Kees Cook

powerpc/compat: 32-bit little endian machine name is ppcle, not ppc

2014-03-23T23:16:04Z

I noticed this when testing setarch. No, we don't magically support a big endian userspace on a little endian kernel. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v3.10+ Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc: Increase stack redzone for 64-bit userspace to 512 bytes

2014-02-28T07:06:26Z

The new ELFv2 little-endian ABI increases the stack redzone -- the area below the stack pointer that can be used for storing data -- from 288 bytes to 512 bytes. This means that we need to allow more space on the user stack when delivering a signal to a 64-bit process. To make the code a bit clearer, we define new USER_REDZONE_SIZE and KERNEL_REDZONE_SIZE symbols in ptrace.h. For now, we leave the kernel redzone size at 288 bytes, since increasing it to 512 bytes would increase the size of interrupt stack frames correspondingly. Gcc currently only makes use of 288 bytes of redzone even when compiling for the new little-endian ABI, and the kernel cannot currently be compiled with the new ABI anyway. In the future, hopefully gcc will provide an option to control the amount of redzone used, and then we could reduce it even more. This also changes the code in arch_compat_alloc_user_space() to preserve the expanded redzone. It is not clear why this function would ever be used on a 64-bit process, though.

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.

compat: sync compat_stats with statfs.

2011-10-28T12:58:53Z

This was found by inspection while tracking a similar bug in compat_statfs64, that has been fixed in mainline since decemeber. - This fixes a bug where not all of the f_spare fields were cleared on mips and s390. - Add the f_flags field to struct compat_statfs - Copy f_flags to userspace in case someone cares. - Use __clear_user to copy the f_spare field to userspace to ensure that all of the elements of f_spare are cleared. On some architectures f_spare is has 5 ints and on some architectures f_spare only has 4 ints. Which makes the previous technique of clearing each int individually broken. I don't expect anyone actually uses the old statfs system call anymore but if they do let them benefit from having the compat and the native version working the same. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

compat: Make compat_alloc_user_space() incorporate the access_ok()

2010-09-14T23:08:45Z

compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call access_ok() to verify the returned area. A missing call could introduce problems on some architectures. This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length. The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the implementation of the new global function. This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either fail or access userspace on all architectures. This should be followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space() for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers can also be removed.

improve sys_newuname() for compat architectures

2010-03-12T23:52:32Z

On an architecture that supports 32-bit compat we need to override the reported machine in uname with the 32-bit value. Instead of doing this separately in every architecture introduce a COMPAT_UTS_MACHINE define in and apply it directly in sys_newuname().
