2019-08-22driver core: initialize a default DMA mask for platform deviceChristoph Hellwig
We still treat devices without a DMA mask as defaulting to 32-bits for both mask, but a few releases ago we've started warning about such cases, as they require special cases to work around this sloppyness. Add a dma_mask field to struct platform_device so that we can initialize the dma_mask pointer in struct device and initialize both masks to 32-bits by default, replacing similar functionality in m68k and powerpc. The arch_setup_pdev_archdata hooks is now unused and removed. Note that the code looks a little odd with the various conditionals because we have to support platform_device structures that are statically allocated.

2019-07-15arch: mark syscall number 435 reserved for clone3Christian Brauner
A while ago Arnd made it possible to give new system calls the same syscall number on all architectures (except alpha). To not break this nice new feature let's mark 435 for clone3 as reserved on all architectures that do not yet implement it. Even if an architecture does not plan to implement it this ensures that new system calls coming after clone3 will have the same number on all architectures.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux Pull pidfd updates from Christian Brauner: "This adds two main features. - First, it adds polling support for pidfds. This allows process managers to know when a (non-parent) process dies in a race-free way. The notification mechanism used follows the same logic that is currently used when the parent of a task is notified of a child's death. With this patchset it is possible to put pidfds in an {e}poll loop and get reliable notifications for process (i.e. thread-group) exit. - The second feature compliments the first one by making it possible to retrieve pollable pidfds for processes that were not created using CLONE_PIDFD. A lot of processes get created with traditional PID-based calls such as fork() or clone() (without CLONE_PIDFD). For these processes a caller can currently not create a pollable pidfd. This is a problem for Android's low memory killer (LMK) and service managers such as systemd. Both patchsets are accompanied by selftests. It's perhaps worth noting that the work done so far and the work done in this branch for pidfd_open() and polling support do already see some adoption: - Android is in the process of backporting this work to all their LTS kernels [1] - Service managers make use of pidfd_send_signal but will need to wait until we enable waiting on pidfds for full adoption. - And projects I maintain make use of both pidfd_send_signal and CLONE_PIDFD [2] and will use polling support and pidfd_open() too" [1] https://android-review.googlesource.com/q/topic:%22pidfd+polling+support+4.9+backport%22 https://android-review.googlesource.com/q/topic:%22pidfd+polling+support+4.14+backport%22 https://android-review.googlesource.com/q/topic:%22pidfd+polling+support+4.19+backport%22 [2] https://github.com/lxc/lxc/blob/aab6e3eb73c343231cdde775db938994fc6f2803/src/lxc/start.c#L1753 * tag 'pidfd-updates-v5.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: tests: add pidfd_open() tests arch: wire-up pidfd_open() pid: add pidfd_open() pidfd: add polling selftests pidfd: add polling support

The force_sig function is built for delivering synchronous signals such as SIGSEGV where the userspace application caused a synchronous fault (such as a page fault) and the kernel responded with a signal. Because the name force_sig does not make this clear, and because the force_sig takes a task parameter the function force_sig has been abused for sending other kinds of signals over the years.

2019-02-07y2038: add 64-bit time_t syscalls to all 32-bit architecturesArnd Bergmann
This adds 21 new system calls on each ABI that has 32-bit time_t today. All of these have the exact same semantics as their existing counterparts, and the new ones all have macro names that end in 'time64' for clarification. This gets us to the point of being able to safely use a C library that has 64-bit time_t in user space. There are still a couple of loose ends to tie up in various areas of the code, but this is the big one, and should be entirely uncontroversial at this point. In particular, there are four system calls (getitimer, setitimer, waitid, and getrusage) that don't have a 64-bit counterpart yet, but these can all be safely implemented in the C library by wrapping around the existing system calls because the 32-bit time_t they pass only counts elapsed time, not time since the epoch. They will be dealt with later.

2019-02-07y2038: rename old time and utime syscallsArnd Bergmann
The time, stime, utime, utimes, and futimesat system calls are only used on older architectures, and we do not provide y2038 safe variants of them, as they are replaced by clock_gettime64, clock_settime64, and utimensat_time64. However, for consistency it seems better to have the 32-bit architectures that still use them call the "time32" entry points (leaving the traditional handlers for the 64-bit architectures), like we do for system calls that now require two versions. Note: We used to always define __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME and __ARCH_WANT_SYS_UTIME and only set __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_TIME and __ARCH_WANT_SYS_UTIME32 for compat mode on 64-bit kernels. Now this is reversed: only 64-bit architectures set __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME/UTIME, while we need __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME32/UTIME32 for 32-bit architectures and compat mode. The resulting asm/unistd.h changes look a bit counterintuitive. This is only a cleanup patch and it should not change any behavior.

2019-02-07y2038: use time32 syscall names on 32-bitArnd Bergmann
This is the big flip, where all 32-bit architectures set COMPAT_32BIT_TIME and use the _time32 system calls from the former compat layer instead of the system calls that take __kernel_timespec and similar arguments. The temporary redirects for __kernel_timespec, __kernel_itimerspec and __kernel_timex can get removed with this. It would be easy to split this commit by architecture, but with the new generated system call tables, it's easy enough to do it all at once, which makes it a little easier to check that the changes are the same in each table.

2019-01-25arch: add split IPC system calls where neededArnd Bergmann
The IPC system call handling is highly inconsistent across architectures, some use sys_ipc, some use separate calls, and some use both. We also have some architectures that require passing IPC_64 in the flags, and others that set it implicitly. For the addition of a y2038 safe semtimedop() system call, I chose to only support the separate entry points, but that requires first supporting the regular ones with their own syscall numbers. The IPC_64 is now implied by the new semctl/shmctl/msgctl system calls even on the architectures that require passing it with the ipc() multiplexer. I'm not adding the new semtimedop() or semop() on 32-bit architectures, those will get implemented using the new semtimedop_time64() version that gets added along with the other time64 calls. Three 64-bit architectures (powerpc, s390 and sparc) get semtimedop().

2019-01-03Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() functionLinus Torvalds
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>

If we want to map memory from the DMA allocator to userspace it must be zeroed at allocation time to prevent stale data leaks.

As the kernel must run in the memory chunk with the lowest address, ST-RAM is ignored, and removed from the m68k_memory[] array. However, it is not removed from memblock, causing a crash later. More investigation shows that there are 3 places where memory chunks are ignored, all after the calls to memblock_add() in m68k_parse_bootinfo(), and thus causing crashes: 1. On classic m68k CPUs with a MMU, paging_init() ignores all memory chunks below the first chunk, cfr. above, 2. On Amigas equipped with a Zorro III bus, config_amiga() ignores all Zorro II memory, 3. If CONFIG_SINGLE_MEMORY_CHUNK=y, m68k_parse_bootinfo() ignores all but the first memory chunk. Fix this by moving the calls to memblock_add() from m68k_parse_bootinfo() to paging_init(), after all ignored memory chunks have been removed from m68k_memory[].

2018-12-04m68k: Add system call table generation supportFiroz Khan
The system call tables are in different format in all architecture and it will be difficult to manually add, modify or delete the syscall table entries in the res- pective files. To make it easy by keeping a script and which will generate the uapi header and syscall table file. This change will also help to unify the implemen- tation across all architectures. The system call table generation script is added in kernel/syscalls directory which contain the scripts to generate both uapi header file and system call table files. The syscall.tbl will be input for the scripts. syscall.tbl contains the list of available system calls along with system call number and corresponding entry point. Add a new system call in this architecture will be possible by adding new entry in the syscall.tbl file. Adding a new table entry consisting of: - System call number. - ABI. - System call name. - Entry point name. syscallhdr.sh and syscalltbl.sh will generate uapi header unistd_32.h and syscall_table.h files respectively. Both .sh files will parse the content syscall.tbl to generate the header and table files. unistd_32.h will be included by uapi/asm/unistd.h and syscall_table.h is included by kernel/syscall_table.S - the real system call table. ARM, s390 and x86 architecuture does have similar support. I leverage their implementation to come up with a generic solution.

2018-05-22m68k: Use read_persistent_clock64() consistentlyArnd Bergmann
We have two ways of getting the current time from a platform at boot or during suspend: either using read_persistent_clock() or the rtc class operation. We never need both, so I'm hiding the read_persistent_clock variant when the generic RTC is enabled. Since read_persistent_clock() and mktime() are deprecated because of the y2038 overflow of time_t, we should use the time64_t based replacements here. Finally, the dependency on CONFIG_ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET looks completely bogus in this case, so let's remove that. It was added in commit b13b3f51ff7b ("m68k: fix inclusion of arch_gettimeoffset for non-MMU 68k classic CPU types") to deal with arch_gettimeoffset(), which has since been removed from this file and is unrelated to the RTC functions. The rtc accessors are only used by classic machines, while coldfire uses proper RTC drivers, so we can put the old ifdef back around both functions.

2018-05-22m68k: Fix off-by-one calendar monthFinn Thain
This fixes a bug in read_persistent_clock() which causes the system clock to lag the Real Time Clock by one month. The problem was noticed on a Mac, but theoretically it must also affect Atari, BVME6000 and Q40. The tm_mon value in the struct rtc_time passed to mach_hwclk() is zero-based, and atari_mste_hwclk(), atari_tt_hwclk(), bvme6000_hwclk(), mac_hwclk() and q40_hwclk() all make this adjustment. Unfortunately, dn_dummy_hwclk(), mvme147_hwclk(), mvme16x_hwclk(), sun3_hwclk() and sun3x_hwclk() fail to decrement tm_mon. Also m68328_hwclk() assumes a one-based tm_mon. Bring these platforms into line and fix read_persistent_clock() so it works correctly on all m68k platforms. The datasheets for the RTC devices found on the affected platforms all confirm that the year is stored as a value in the range 0-99 and the month is stored as a value in the range 1-12. Please refer to the datasheets for MC146818 (Apollo), DS1643 (MVME), ICM7170 (Sun 3) and M48T02 (Sun 3x).

Filling in struct siginfo before calling force_sig_info a tedious and error prone process, where once in a great while the wrong fields are filled out, and siginfo has been inconsistently cleared. Simplify this process by using the helper force_sig_fault. Which takes as a parameters all of the information it needs, ensures all of the fiddly bits of filling in struct siginfo are done properly and then calls force_sig_info. In short about a 5 line reduction in code for every time force_sig_info is called, which makes the calling function clearer.

Call clear_siginfo to ensure every stack allocated siginfo is properly initialized before being passed to the signal sending functions. Note: It is not safe to depend on C initializers to initialize struct siginfo on the stack because C is allowed to skip holes when initializing a structure. The initialization of struct siginfo in tracehook_report_syscall_exit was moved from the helper user_single_step_siginfo into tracehook_report_syscall_exit itself, to make it clear that the local variable siginfo gets fully initialized. In a few cases the scope of struct siginfo has been reduced to make it clear that siginfo siginfo is not used on other paths in the function in which it is declared. Instances of using memset to initialize siginfo have been replaced with calls clear_siginfo for clarity. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>

The progress that was made was the definition of FPE_FLTUNK. Which is usable to fix many of the cases where siginfo generation is erroneously generating SI_USER by setting si_code to 0, that has recently been tagged as FPE_FIXME. You already have the change by way of the arm64 tree as that definition was pulled into the arm64 tree to allow fixing the problem there. What remains is the second round of fixing for what I thought was a trivial change to the struct siginfo when put the union in _sigfault where it belongs. Do to historical reasons 32bit m68k only ensures that pointers are 2 byte aligned. So I have added a m68k test case made of BUILD_BUG_ONs to verify I have this fix correct and possibly catch problems, and I have computed the number of bytes of padding needed for the _addr_bnd and _addr_pkey cases and just use an array of characters that size. For pure paranoia I have written the code so if there is an architecture out there that does not perform any alignment of structures it should still work. With the removal of all of the stale arechitectures this cycle future work on cleaning up struct siginfo should be much easier. Almost all of the conflicting si_code definitions have been removed with the removal of (blackfin, tile, and frv).

Therefore, system call functions such as sys_xyzzy() or compat_sys_xyzzy() should only be called from userspace via the syscall table, but not from elsewhere in the kernel. At least on 64-bit x86, it will likely be a hard requirement from v4.17 onwards to not call system call functions in the kernel: It is better to use use a different calling convention for system calls there, where struct pt_regs is decoded on-the-fly in a syscall wrapper which then hands processing over to the actual syscall function. This means that only those parameters which are actually needed for a specific syscall are passed on during syscall entry, instead of filling in six CPU registers with random user space content all the time (which may cause serious trouble down the call chain). Those x86-specific patches will be pushed through the x86 tree in the near future. Moreover, rules on how data may be accessed may differ between kernel data and user data. This is another reason why calling sys_xyzzy() is generally a bad idea, and -- at most -- acceptable in arch-specific code. This patchset removes all in-kernel calls to syscall functions in the kernel with the exception of arch/. On top of this, it cleans up the three places where many syscalls are referenced or prototyped, namely kernel/sys_ni.c, include/linux/syscalls.h and include/linux/compat.h" * 'syscalls-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brodo/linux: (109 commits) bpf: whitelist all syscalls for error injection kernel/sys_ni: remove {sys_,sys_compat} from cond_syscall definitions kernel/sys_ni: sort cond_syscall() entries syscalls/x86: auto-create compat_sys_*() prototypes syscalls: sort syscall prototypes in include/linux/compat.h net: remove compat_sys_*() prototypes from net/compat.h syscalls: sort syscall prototypes in include/linux/syscalls.h kexec: move sys_kexec_load() prototype to syscalls.h x86/sigreturn: use SYSCALL_DEFINE0 x86: fix sys_sigreturn() return type to be long, not unsigned long x86/ioport: add ksys_ioperm() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_ioperm() mm: add ksys_readahead() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_readahead() mm: add ksys_mmap_pgoff() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_mmap_pgoff() mm: add ksys_fadvise64_64() helper; remove in-kernel call to sys_fadvise64_64() fs: add ksys_fallocate() wrapper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_fallocate() fs: add ksys_p{read,write}64() helpers; remove in-kernel calls to syscalls fs: add ksys_truncate() wrapper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_truncate() fs: add ksys_sync_file_range helper(); remove in-kernel calls to syscall kernel: add ksys_setsid() helper; remove in-kernel call to sys_setsid() kernel: add ksys_unshare() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_unshare() ...
