exit: Add and use make_task_dead.

2023-02-06T06:46:33Z

commit 0e25498f8cd43c1b5aa327f373dd094e9a006da7 upstream. There are two big uses of do_exit. The first is it's design use to be the guts of the exit(2) system call. The second use is to terminate a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer in kernel code. Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle catastrophic failure. In time this can probably be reduced to just a light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new concept. Replace all of the uses of do_exit that use it for catastraphic task cleanup with make_task_dead to make it clear what the code is doing. As part of this rename rewind_stack_do_exit rewind_stack_and_make_dead. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ARM: Spectre-BHB workaround

2022-03-11T09:13:30Z

commit b9baf5c8c5c356757f4f9d8180b5e9d234065bc3 upstream. Workaround the Spectre BHB issues for Cortex-A15, Cortex-A57, Cortex-A72, Cortex-A73 and Cortex-A75. We also include Brahma B15 as well to be safe, which is affected by Spectre V2 in the same ways as Cortex-A15.

commit 04e91b7324760a377a725e218b5ee783826d30f5 upstream. Provide a couple of helpers to copy the vectors and stubs, and also to flush the copied vectors and stubs. Acked-by: Catalin Marinas Signed-off-by: Russell King (Oracle) Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ARM: 8771/1: kprobes: Prohibit kprobes on do_undefinstr

2018-05-22T16:54:00Z

commit eb0146daefdde65665b7f076fbff7b49dade95b9 upstream. Prohibit kprobes on do_undefinstr because kprobes on arm is implemented by undefined instruction. This means if we probe do_undefinstr(), it can cause infinit recursive exception.

ARM: 8720/1: ensure dump_instr() checks addr_limit

2017-11-06T12:00:38Z

When CONFIG_DEBUG_USER is enabled, it's possible for a user to deliberately trigger dump_instr() with a chosen kernel address. Let's avoid problems resulting from this by using get_user() rather than __get_user(), ensuring that we don't erroneously access kernel memory. So that we can use the same code to dump user instructions and kernel instructions, the common dumping code is factored out to __dump_instr(), with the fs manipulated appropriately in dump_instr() around calls to this.

sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to

We are going to split out of , which will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files. Create a trivial placeholder file that just maps to to make this patch obviously correct and bisectable. Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

ARM: fix backtrace

2016-11-15T15:25:39Z

Recent kernels have changed their behaviour to be more inconsistent when handling printk continuations. With todays kernels, the output looks sane on the console, but dmesg splits individual printk()s which do not have the KERN_CONT prefix into separate lines. Since the assembly code is not trivial to add the KERN_CONT, and we ideally want to avoid using KERN_CONT (as multiple printk()s can race between different threads), convert the assembly dumping the register values to C code, and have the C code build the output a line at a time before dumping to the console. This avoids the KERN_CONT issue, and also avoids situations where the output is intermixed with other console activity. Signed-off-by: Russell King
