ARM: 8320/1: fix integer overflow in ELF_ET_DYN_BASE

2015-05-06T20:01:48Z

commit 8defb3367fcd19d1af64c07792aade0747b54e0f upstream. Usually ELF_ET_DYN_BASE is 2/3 of TASK_SIZE. With 3G/1G user/kernel split this is not so, because 2*TASK_SIZE overflows 32 bits, so the actual value of ELF_ET_DYN_BASE is: (2 * TASK_SIZE / 3) = 0x2a000000 When ASLR is disabled PIE binaries will load at ELF_ET_DYN_BASE address. On 32bit platforms AddressSanitzer uses addresses [0x20000000 - 0x40000000] for shadow memory [1]. So ASan doesn't work for PIE binaries when ASLR disabled as it fails to map shadow memory. Also after Kees's 'split ET_DYN ASLR from mmap ASLR' patchset PIE binaries has a high chance of loading somewhere in between [0x2a000000 - 0x40000000] even if ASLR enabled. This makes ASan with PIE absolutely incompatible. Fix overflow by dividing TASK_SIZE prior to multiplying. After this patch ELF_ET_DYN_BASE equals to (for CONFIG_VMSPLIT_3G=y): (TASK_SIZE / 3 * 2) = 0x7f555554 [1] https://code.google.com/p/address-sanitizer/wiki/AddressSanitizerAlgorithm#Mapping Signed-off-by: Andrey Ryabinin Reported-by: Maria Guseva Signed-off-by: Russell King Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ARM: 8127/1: module: add support for R_ARM_TARGET1 relocations

2014-08-27T14:40:11Z

Kernel module build with GCOV profiling fails to load with the following error: $ insmod test_module.ko test_module: unknown relocation: 38 insmod: can't insert 'test_module.ko': invalid module format This happens because constructor pointers in the .init_array section have not supported R_ARM_TARGET1 relocation type. Documentation (ELF for the ARM Architecture) says: "The relocation must be processed either in the same way as R_ARM_REL32 or as R_ARM_ABS32: a virtual platform must specify which method is used." Since kernel expects to see absolute addresses in .init_array R_ARM_TARGET1 relocation type should be treated the same way as R_ARM_ABS32. Signed-off-by: Andrey Ryabinin Signed-off-by: Russell King

ARM: fix nommu builds with 48be69a02 (ARM: move signal handlers into a vdso-like page)

2013-08-03T09:49:01Z

Olof reports that noMMU builds error out with: arch/arm/kernel/signal.c: In function 'setup_return': arch/arm/kernel/signal.c:413:25: error: 'mm_context_t' has no member named 'sigpage' This shows one of the evilnesses of IS_ENABLED(). Get rid of it here and replace it with #ifdef's - and as no noMMU platform can make use of sigpage, depend on CONIFG_MMU not CONFIG_ARM_MPU. Reported-by: Olof Johansson Signed-off-by: Russell King

ARM: move signal handlers into a vdso-like page

2013-08-01T13:31:56Z

Move the signal handlers into a VDSO page rather than keeping them in the vectors page. This allows us to place them randomly within this page, and also map the page at a random location within userspace further protecting these code fragments from ROP attacks. The new VDSO page is also poisoned in the same way as the vector page. Signed-off-by: Russell King

ARM: 7294/1: vectors: use gate_vma for vectors user mapping

2012-03-24T09:38:51Z

The current user mapping for the vectors page is inserted as a `horrible hack vma' into each task via arch_setup_additional_pages. This causes problems with the MM subsystem and vm_normal_page, as described here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/14/55 Following the suggestion from Hugh in the above thread, this patch uses the gate_vma for the vectors user mapping, therefore consolidating the horrible hack VMAs into one.

ARM: 6883/1: ptrace: Migrate to regsets framework

2011-05-14T20:36:55Z

This patch migrates the implementation of the ptrace interface for the core integer registers, legacy FPA registers and VFP registers to use the regsets framework. As an added bonus, all this stuff gets included in coredumps at no extra cost. Without this patch, coredumps contained no VFP state. Third-party extension register sets (iwmmx, crunch) are not migrated by this patch, and continue to use the old implementation; these should be migratable without much extra work.

ARM: add a vma entry for the user accessible vector page

2010-10-02T02:35:19Z

The kernel makes the high vector page visible to user space. This page contains (amongst others) small code segments that can be executed in user space. Make this page visible through ptrace and /proc//mem in order to let gdb perform code parsing needed for proper unwinding. For example, the ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK handler actually has a stack frame -- it returns to a PC value stored on the user's stack. To unwind after a "sleep" system call was interrupted twice, GDB would have to recognize this situation and understand that stack frame layout -- which it currently cannot do. We could fix this by hard-coding addresses in the vector page range into GDB, but that isn't really portable as not all of those addresses are guaranteed to remain stable across kernel releases. And having the gdb process make an exception for this page and get content from its own address space for it looks strange, and it is not future proof either. Being located above PAGE_OFFSET, this vma cannot be deleted by user space code. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre

ARM: 6189/1: Add support for the MOVW/MOVT relocations in Thumb-2
