ARM: renumber bits related to _TIF_WORK_MASK

2023-01-14T09:16:40Z

commit 191f8453fc99a537ea78b727acea739782378b0d upstream. We want to ensure that the mask related to calling do_work_pending() is within the first 16 bits. Move bits unrelated to that outside of that range, to avoid spuriously calling do_work_pending() when we don't need to.

ARM: smp: add support for per-task stack canaries

2018-12-12T21:20:07Z

On ARM, we currently only change the value of the stack canary when switching tasks if the kernel was built for UP. On SMP kernels, this is impossible since the stack canary value is obtained via a global symbol reference, which means a) all running tasks on all CPUs must use the same value b) we can only modify the value when no kernel stack frames are live on any CPU, which is effectively never. So instead, use a GCC plugin to add a RTL pass that replaces each reference to the address of the __stack_chk_guard symbol with an expression that produces the address of the 'stack_canary' field that is added to struct thread_info. This way, each task will use its own randomized value.

ARM: 8791/1: vfp: use __copy_to_user() when saving VFP state

2018-10-05T09:51:15Z

Use __copy_to_user() rather than __put_user_error() for individual members when saving VFP state. This has the benefit of disabling/enabling PAN once per copied struct intead of once per write. Signed-off-by: Julien Thierry Signed-off-by: Russell King

ARM: vfp: use __copy_from_user() when restoring VFP state

2018-08-02T16:41:37Z

__get_user_error() is used as a fast accessor to make copying structure members in the signal handling path as efficient as possible. However, with software PAN and the recent Spectre variant 1, the efficiency is reduced as these are no longer fast accessors. In the case of software PAN, it has to switch the domain register around each access, and with Spectre variant 1, it would have to repeat the access_ok() check for each access. Use __copy_from_user() rather than __get_user_err() for individual members when restoring VFP state. Acked-by: Mark Rutland Signed-off-by: Russell King

Construct init thread stack in the linker script rather than by union

2018-01-09T23:21:02Z

Construct the init thread stack in the linker script rather than doing it by means of a union so that ia64's init_task.c can be got rid of. The following symbols are then made available from INIT_TASK_DATA() linker script macro: init_thread_union init_stack INIT_TASK_DATA() also expands the region to THREAD_SIZE to accommodate the size of the init stack. init_thread_union is given its own section so that it can be placed into the stack space in the right order. I'm assuming that the ia64 ordering is correct and that the task_struct is first and the thread_info second.

Revert "arm/syscalls: Check address limit on user-mode return"

2017-09-17T17:45:33Z

This reverts commit 73ac5d6a2b6ac3ae8d1e1818f3e9946f97489bc9. The work pending loop can call set_fs after addr_limit_user_check removed the _TIF_FSCHECK flag. This may happen at anytime based on how ARM handles alignment exceptions. It leads to an infinite loop condition. After discussion, it has been agreed that the generic approach is not tailored to the ARM architecture and any fix might not be complete. This patch will be replaced by an architecture specific implementation. The work flag approach will be kept for other architectures.
