2017-03-24lib/syscall: Clear return values when no stackKees Cook
Commit: aa1f1a639621 ("lib/syscall: Pin the task stack in collect_syscall()") ... added logic to handle a process stack not existing, but left sp and pc uninitialized, which can be later reported via /proc/$pid/syscall for zombie processes, potentially exposing kernel memory to userspace. Zombie /proc/$pid/syscall before: -1 0xffffffff9a060100 0xffff92f42d6ad900 Zombie /proc/$pid/syscall after: -1 0x0 0x0 Reported-by: Robert Święcki <robert@swiecki.net> Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Cc: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com> Cc: H.

2017-03-02sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to ↵Ingo Molnar
<linux/sched/task_stack.h> We are going to split <linux/sched/task_stack.h> out of <linux/sched.h>, which will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files. Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/task_stack.h> file that just maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and bisectable. Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

2016-09-16lib/syscall: Pin the task stack in collect_syscall()Andy Lutomirski
This will avoid a potential read-after-free if collect_syscall() (e.g. /proc/PID/syscall) is called on an exiting task.

2014-04-03lib/syscall.c: unexport task_current_syscall()Andrew Morton
It is only used by procfs and procfs cannot be a module. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2012-03-07lib: reduce the use of module.h wherever possiblePaul Gortmaker
For files only using THIS_MODULE and/or EXPORT_SYMBOL, map them onto including export.h -- or if the file isn't even using those, then just delete the include. Fix up any implicit include dependencies that were being masked by module.h along the way. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
2008-07-26task_current_syscallRoland McGrath
This adds the new function task_current_syscall() on machines where the asm/syscall.h interface is supported (CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK). It's exported for modules to use in the future. This function safely samples the state of a blocked thread to collect what system call it is blocked in, and the six system call argument registers.
