Rip out get_signal_to_deliver()

2014-08-06T11:03:44Z

Now we can turn get_signal() to the main function. Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

Clean up signal_delivered()

2014-08-06T11:03:43Z

- Pass a ksignal struct to it - Remove unused regs parameter - Make it private as it's nowhere outside of kernel/signal.c is used Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

signals: introduce kernel_sigaction()

2014-06-06T23:08:12Z

Now that allow_signal() is really trivial we can unify it with disallow_signal(). Add the new helper, kernel_sigaction(), and reimplement allow_signal/disallow_signal as a trivial wrappers. This saves one EXPORT_SYMBOL() and the new helper can have more users.

signals: mv {dis,}allow_signal() from sched.h/exit.c to signal.[ch]

2014-06-06T23:08:11Z

Move the declaration/definition of allow_signal/disallow_signal to signal.h/signal.c. The new place is more logical and allows to use the static helpers in signal.c (see the next changes). While at it, make them return void and remove the valid_signal() check. Nobody checks the returned value, and in-kernel users must not pass the wrong signal number.

signals: kill sigfindinword()

It has no users and it doesn't look useful. I do not know why/when it was introduced, I can't even find any user in the git history.

Introduce [compat_]save_altstack_ex() to unbreak x86 SMAP

2013-09-01T21:16:33Z

For performance reasons, when SMAP is in use, SMAP is left open for an entire put_user_try { ... } put_user_catch(); block, however, calling __put_user() in the middle of that block will close SMAP as the STAC..CLAC constructs intentionally do not nest. Furthermore, using __put_user() rather than put_user_ex() here is bad for performance. Thus, introduce new [compat_]save_altstack_ex() helpers that replace __[compat_]save_altstack() for x86, being currently the only architecture which supports put_user_try { ... } put_user_catch().

Move some bits from linux/proc_fs.h to linux/of.h, signal.h and tty.h. Also move proc_tty_init() and proc_device_tree_init() to fs/proc/internal.h as they're internal to procfs.

Fix breakage in MIPS siginfo handling

2013-03-19T18:15:52Z

MIPS's siginfo handling has been broken since this commit: commit 574c4866e33d648520a8bd5bf6f573ea6e554e88 Author: Al Viro Date: Sun Nov 25 22:24:19 2012 -0500 consolidate kernel-side struct sigaction declarations for 64-bit BE MIPS CPUs. The UAPI variant looks like this: struct sigaction { unsigned int sa_flags; __sighandler_t sa_handler; sigset_t sa_mask; }; but the core kernel's variant looks like this: struct sigaction { #ifndef __ARCH_HAS_ODD_SIGACTION __sighandler_t sa_handler; unsigned long sa_flags; #else unsigned long sa_flags; __sighandler_t sa_handler; #endif #ifdef __ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER __sigrestore_t sa_restorer; #endif sigset_t sa_mask; }; The problem is that sa_flags has been changed from an unsigned int to an unsigned long. Fix this by making sa_flags unsigned int if __ARCH_HAS_ODD_SIGACTION is defined. Whilst we're at it, rename __ARCH_HAS_ODD_SIGACTION to __ARCH_HAS_IRIX_SIGACTION.

new helper: signal_setup_done()
