2012-11-16arm64: Distinguish between user and kernel XN bitsCatalin Marinas
On AArch64, the meaning of the XN bit has changed to UXN (user). The PXN (privileged) bit must be set to prevent kernel execution. Without the PXN bit set, the CPU may speculatively access device memory. This patch ensures that all the mappings that the kernel must not execute from (including user mappings) have the PXN bit set.

2012-11-08arm64: mm: fix booting on systems with no memory below 4GBWill Deacon
Booting on a system with all of its memory above the 4GB boundary breaks for two reasons: (1) We still try to create a non-empty DMA32 zone (2) no-bootmem limits allocations to 0xffffffff This patch fixes these issues for ARM64.

2012-11-08arm64: perf: use architected event for CPU cycle counterWill Deacon
We currently use a fake event encoding (0xFF) to indicate CPU cycles so that we don't waste an event counter and can target the hardware cycle counter instead. The problem with this approach is that the event space defined by the architecture permits an implementation to allocate 0xFF for some other event. This patch uses the architected cycle counter encoding (0x11) so that we avoid potentially clashing with event encodings on future CPU implementations.

2012-10-20arm64: fix alignment padding in assembly codeMarc Zyngier
An interesting effect of using the generic version of linkage.h is that the padding is defined in terms of x86 NOPs, which can have even more interesting effects when the assembly code looks like this: ENTRY(func1) mov x0, xzr ENDPROC(func1) // fall through ENTRY(func2) mov x0, #1 ret ENDPROC(func2) Admittedly, the code is not very nice. But having code from another architecture doesn't look completely sane either. The fix is to add arm64's version of linkage.h, which causes the insertion of proper AArch64 NOPs.

2012-10-18arm64: ptrace: use HW_BREAKPOINT_EMPTY type for disabled breakpointsWill Deacon
If a debugger tries to zero a hardware debug control register, the kernel will try to infer both the type and length of the breakpoint in order to sanity-check against the requested regset type. This will fail because the encoding will appear as a zero-length breakpoint. This patch changes the control register setting so that disabled breakpoints are treated as HW_BREAKPOINT_EMPTY and no further sanity-checking is required.

2012-10-18arm64: ptrace: make structure padding explicit for debug registersWill Deacon
The user_hwdebug_state structure contains implicit padding to conform to the alignment requirements of the AArch64 ABI (namely that aggregates must be aligned to their most aligned member). This patch fixes the ptrace functions operating on struct user_hwdebug_state so that the padding is handled correctly.

2012-10-18arm64: No need to set the x0-x2 registers in start_thread()Catalin Marinas
For historical reasons, ARM used to set r0-r2 in start_thread() to the first values on the user stack when starting a new user application. The same logic has been inherited in AArch64. The x0 register is overridden by the sys_execve() return value so it's always zero on success. The x1 and x2 registers are ignored by AArch64 and EABI AArch32 applications, so we can safely remove the register setting for both native and compat user space. This also fixes a potential fault with the kernel accessing user space stack directly. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Reported-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2012-10-18arm64: Ignore memory blocks below PHYS_OFFSETCatalin Marinas
According to Documentation/arm64/booting.txt, the kernel image must be loaded at a pre-defined offset from the start of RAM so that the kernel can calculate PHYS_OFFSET based on this address.

2012-10-12vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return itJeff Layton
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>

2012-10-07Merge branch 'uapi-prep' of git://git.infradead.org/users/dhowells/linux-headersLinus Torvalds
Pull UAPI disintegration fixes from David Howells: "There are three main parts: (1) I found I needed some more fixups in the wake of testing Arm64 (some asm/unistd.h files had weird guards that caused problems - mostly in arches for which I don't have a compiler) and some __KERNEL__ splitting needed to take place in Arm64. (2) I found that c6x was missing some __KERNEL__ guards in its asm/signal.h. Mark Salter pointed me at a tree with a patch to remove that file entirely and use the asm-generic variant instead. (3) Lastly, m68k turned out to have a header installation problem due to it lacking a kvm_para.h file. The conditional installation bits for linux/kvm_para.h, linux/kvm.h and linux/a.out.h weren't very well specified - and didn't work if an arch didn't have the asm/ version of that file, but there *was* an asm-generic/ version. It seems the "ifneq $((wildcard ...),)" for each of those three headers in include/kernel/Kbuild is invoked twice during header installation, and the second time it matches on the just installed asm-generic/kvm_para.h file and thus incorrectly installs linux/kvm_para.h as well.

2012-10-04UAPI: Fix the guards on various asm/unistd.h filesDavid Howells
asm-generic/unistd.h and a number of asm/unistd.h files have been given reinclusion guards that allow the guard to be overridden if __SYSCALL is defined. Unfortunately, these files define __SYSCALL and don't undefine it when they've finished with it, thus rendering the guard ineffective. The reason for this override is to allow the file to be #included multiple times with different settings on __SYSCALL for purposes like generating syscall tables. The following guards are problematic: arch/arm64/include/asm/unistd.h:#if !defined(__ASM_UNISTD_H) || defined(__SYSCALL) arch/arm64/include/asm/unistd32.h:#if !defined(__ASM_UNISTD32_H) || defined(__SYSCALL) arch/c6x/include/asm/unistd.h:#if !defined(_ASM_C6X_UNISTD_H) || defined(__SYSCALL) arch/hexagon/include/asm/unistd.h:#if !defined(_ASM_HEXAGON_UNISTD_H) || defined(__SYSCALL) arch/openrisc/include/asm/unistd.h:#if !defined(__ASM_OPENRISC_UNISTD_H) || defined(__SYSCALL) arch/score/include/asm/unistd.h:#if !defined(_ASM_SCORE_UNISTD_H) || defined(__SYSCALL) arch/tile/include/asm/unistd.h:#if !defined(_ASM_TILE_UNISTD_H) || defined(__SYSCALL) arch/unicore32/include/asm/unistd.h:#if !defined(__UNICORE_UNISTD_H__) || defined(__SYSCALL) include/asm-generic/unistd.h:#if !defined(_ASM_GENERIC_UNISTD_H) || defined(__SYSCALL) On the assumption that the guards' ineffectiveness has passed unnoticed, just remove these guards entirely.
