* parisc: Fix pmd code to depend on PT_NLEVELS value, not on CONFIG_64BITHelge Deller2015-03-231-5/+3
| | | | | | | | Make the code which sets up the pmd depend on PT_NLEVELS == 3, not on CONFIG_64BIT. The reason is, that a 64bit kernel with a page size greater than 4k doesn't need the pmd and thus has PT_NLEVELS = 2. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
* parisc: mm: don't count preallocated pmdsMikulas Patocka2015-03-231-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch dc6c9a35b66b520cf67e05d8ca60ebecad3b0479 that counts pmds allocated for a process introduced a bug on 64-bit PA-RISC kernels. The PA-RISC architecture preallocates one pmd with each pgd. This preallocated pmd can never be freed - pmd_free does nothing when it is called with this pmd. When the kernel attempts to free this preallocated pmd, it decreases the count of allocated pmds. The result is that the counter underflows and this error is reported. This patch fixes the bug by artifically incrementing the counter in pmd_free when the kernel tries to free the preallocated pmd.

* mm: add missing __PAGETABLE_{PUD,PMD}_FOLDED definesKirill A. Shutemov2015-02-281-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Core mm expects __PAGETABLE_{PUD,PMD}_FOLDED to be defined if these page table levels folded. Usually, these defines are provided by <asm-generic/pgtable-nopmd.h> and <asm-generic/pgtable-nopud.h>. But some architectures fold page table levels in a custom way. They need to define these macros themself. This patch adds missing defines. The patch fixes mm->nr_pmds underflow and eliminates dead __pmd_alloc() and __pud_alloc() on architectures without these page table levels. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

* | mm: vmalloc: pass additional vm_flags to __vmalloc_node_range()Andrey Ryabinin2015-02-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For instrumenting global variables KASan will shadow memory backing memory for modules. So on module loading we will need to allocate memory for shadow and map it at address in shadow that corresponds to the address allocated in module_alloc(). __vmalloc_node_range() could be used for this purpose, except it puts a guard hole after allocated area. Guard hole in shadow memory should be a problem because at some future point we might need to have a shadow memory at address occupied by guard hole. So we could fail to allocate shadow for module_alloc(). Now we have VM_NO_GUARD flag disabling guard page, so we need to pass into __vmalloc_node_range(). Add new parameter 'vm_flags' to __vmalloc_node_range() function.

* | all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_structAndy Lutomirski2015-02-122-5/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting the restart block is a very juicy exploit target. This is because the restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack. Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by making the restart_block harder to locate. Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy targets, at least on some architectures. It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less identical on all architectures.

* | vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling supportLinus Torvalds2015-01-291-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a "you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler. That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do retries etc" - but it generally works. However, there are cases where the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV. In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a SIGSEGV. And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by that duplicated architecture fault handler. However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space. And user space really expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS. To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those duplicate architecture fault handlers about it. They all already have the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying. This is the mindless minimal patch to do this. A more extensive patch would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that cleanup. Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other "newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about them too.

Then split a set of million of sockets into worker threads, each one using epoll() to manage events on its own socket pool. Ideally, we want one thread per RX/TX queue/cpu, but we have no way to know after accept() or connect() on which queue/cpu a socket is managed. We normally use one cpu per RX queue (IRQ smp_affinity being properly set), so remembering on socket structure which cpu delivered last packet is enough to solve the problem. After accept(), connect(), or even file descriptor passing around processes, applications can use : int cpu; socklen_t len = sizeof(cpu); getsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_INCOMING_CPU, &cpu, &len); And use this information to put the socket into the right silo for optimal performance, as all networking stack should run on the appropriate cpu, without need to send IPI (RPS/RFS).

Additionally fix the definition of struct shminfo64 to use unsigned longs like the other architectures. This has no impact on userspace since we only have a 32bit userspace up to now.

We want to audit when seccomp is killing a process. seccomp hooks in before the audit syscall entry code. audit_syscall_entry took as an argument the arch of the given syscall. Since the arch is part of what makes a syscall number meaningful it's an important part of the record, but it isn't available when seccomp shoots the syscall... For most arch's we have a better way to get the arch (syscall_get_arch) So the solution was two fold: Implement syscall_get_arch() everywhere there is audit which didn't have it. Use syscall_get_arch() in the seccomp audit code. Having syscall_get_arch() everywhere meant it was a useless flag on the stack and we could get rid of it for the typical syscall entry.

* | | parisc: Reduce SIGRTMIN from 37 to 32 to behave like other Linux architecturesHelge Deller2014-10-121-10/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch reduces the value of SIGRTMIN on PARISC from 37 to 32, thus increasing the number of available RT signals and bring it in sync with other Linux architectures. Historically we wanted to natively support HP-UX 32bit binaries with the PA-RISC Linux port. Because of that we carried the various available signals from HP-UX (e.g. SIGEMT and SIGLOST) and folded them in between the native Linux signals. Although this was the right decision at that time, this required us to increase SIGRTMIN to at least 37 which left us with 27 (64-37) RT signals. Those 27 RT signals haven't been a problem in the past, but with the upcoming importance of systemd we now got the problem that systemd alloctes (hardcoded) signals up to SIGRTMIN+29 which is beyond our NSIG of 64. Because of that we have not been able to use systemd on the PARISC Linux port yet. Of course we could ask the systemd developers to not use those hardcoded values, but this change is very unlikely, esp. with PA-RISC being a niche architecture. The other possibility would be to increase NSIG to e.g. 128, but this would mean to duplicate most of the existing Linux signal handling code into the parisc specific Linux kernel tree which would most likely introduce lots of new bugs beside the code duplication. The third option is to drop some HP-UX signals and shuffle some other signals around to bring SIGRTMIN to 32. This is of course an ABI change, but testing has shown that existing Linux installations are not visibly affected by this change - most likely because we move those signals around which are rarely used and move them to slots which haven't been used in Linux yet. In an existing installation I was able to exchange either the Linux kernel or glibc (or both) without affecting the boot process and installed applications. Dropping the HP-UX signals isn't an issue either, since support for HP-UX was basically dropped a few months back with Kernel 3.14 in commit f5a408d53edef3af07ac7697b8bc54a755628450 already, when we changed EWOULDBLOCK to be equal to EAGAIN. So, even if this is an ABI change, it's better to change it now and thus bring PARISC Linux in sync with other architectures to avoid other issues in the future.
