Merge branch 'regset' (PTRACE_SETREGSET data leakage)

2017-03-29T15:55:25Z

Merge PTRACE_SETREGSET leakage fixes from Dave Martin: "This series is the collection of fixes I proposed on this topic, that have not yet appeared upstream or in the stable branches, The issue can leak kernel stack, but doesn't appear to allow userspace to attack the kernel directly. The affected architectures are c6x, h8300, metag, mips and sparc. [ Mark Salter points out that c6x has no MMU or other mechanism to prevent userspace access to kernel code or data on c6x, but it doesn't hurt to clean that case up too. ] The bugs arise from use of user_regset_copyin(). Users of user_regset_copyin() can work in one of two ways: 1) Copy directly to thread_struct or equivalent. (This seems to be the design assumption of the regset API, and is the most common approach.) 2) Copy to a local variable and then transfer to thread_struct. (A significant minority of cases.) Buggy code typically involves approach 2" * emailed patches from Dave Martin : sparc/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write mips/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write metag/ptrace: Reject partial NT_METAG_RPIPE writes metag/ptrace: Provide default TXSTATUS for short NT_PRSTATUS metag/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write h8300/ptrace: Fix incorrect register transfer count c6x/ptrace: Remove useless PTRACE_SETREGSET implementation

c6x/ptrace: Remove useless PTRACE_SETREGSET implementation

2017-03-29T15:54:17Z

gpr_set won't work correctly and can never have been tested, and the correct behaviour is not clear due to the endianness-dependent task layout. So, just remove it. The core code will now return -EOPNOTSUPPORT when trying to set NT_PRSTATUS on this architecture until/unless a correct implementation is supplied.

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

2017-03-02T07:42:36Z

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.

treewide: Constify most dma_map_ops structures

arch/c6x: add option to skip sync on DMA map and unmap

2016-12-15T00:04:07Z

This change allows us to pass DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC which allows us to avoid invoking cache line invalidation if the driver will just handle it later via a sync_for_cpu or sync_for_device call.

nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus

2016-10-08T01:46:30Z

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN". We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new .cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted PC to see if it lies within that section. This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in the minimal framework for other architectures.

dma-mapping: use unsigned long for dma_attrs

2016-08-04T12:50:07Z

The dma-mapping core and the implementations do not change the DMA attributes passed by pointer. Thus the pointer can point to const data. However the attributes do not have to be a bitfield. Instead unsigned long will do fine: 1. This is just simpler. Both in terms of reading the code and setting attributes. Instead of initializing local attributes on the stack and passing pointer to it to dma_set_attr(), just set the bits. 2. It brings safeness and checking for const correctness because the attributes are passed by value.
