parisc: use compat_sys_keyctl()

2017-07-21T05:00:10Z

commit b0f94efd5aa8daa8a07d7601714c2573266cd4c9 upstream. Architectures with a compat syscall table must put compat_sys_keyctl() in it, not sys_keyctl(). The parisc architecture was not doing this; fix it. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Acked-by: Helge Deller Signed-off-by: Helge Deller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas

2017-06-24T05:06:22Z

commit 1be7107fbe18eed3e319a6c3e83c78254b693acb upstream. Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping. But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX] which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN. This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical, unfortunatelly. Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot. One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace, but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong for some special case applications. For now, add a kernel command line option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units). Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page: because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point, a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK and strict non-overcommit mode. Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start (or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(), and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

parisc: Avoid stalled CPU warnings after system shutdown

2017-03-29T19:50:38Z

Commit 73580dac7618 ("parisc: Fix system shutdown halt") introduced an endless loop for systems which don't provide a software power off function. But the soft lockup detector will detect this and report stalled CPUs after some time. Avoid those unwanted warnings by disabling the soft lockup detector.

parisc: Clean up fixup routines for get_user()/put_user()

2017-03-29T19:50:36Z

Al Viro noticed that userspace accesses via get_user()/put_user() can be simplified a lot with regard to usage of the exception handling. This patch implements a fixup routine for get_user() and put_user() in such that the exception handler will automatically load -EFAULT into the register %r8 (the error value) in case on a fault on userspace. Additionally the fixup routine will zero the target register on fault in case of a get_user() call. The target register is extracted out of the faulting assembly instruction. This patch brings a few benefits over the old implementation: 1. Exception handling gets much cleaner, easier and smaller in size. 2. Helper functions like fixup_get_user_skip_1 (all of fixup.S) can be dropped. 3. No need to hardcode %r9 as target register for get_user() any longer. This helps the compiler register allocator and thus creates less assembler statements. 4. No dependency on the exception_data contents any longer. 5. Nested faults will be handled cleanly.

parisc: Fix system shutdown halt

2017-03-18T16:27:45Z

On those parisc machines which don't provide a software power off function, the system currently kills the init process at the end of a shutdown and unexpectedly restarts insteads of halting. Fix it by adding a loop which will not return. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 4.9+

parisc: Optimize flush_kernel_vmap_range and invalidate_kernel_vmap_range

2017-03-15T19:57:33Z

The previously submitted patch did not resolve the random segmentation faults observed on the phantom buildd system. There are still unresolved problems with the Debian 4.8 and 4.9 kernels on C8000. The attached patch removes the flush of the offset map pages and does a whole data cache flush for large ranges. No other arch flushes the offset map in these routines as far as I can tell. I have not observed any random segmentation faults on rp3440 in two weeks of testing with 4.10.0 and 4.10.1.

parisc: support R_PARISC_SECREL32 relocation in modules

2017-03-15T19:55:30Z

The parisc kernel doesn't work with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS since the commit 71810db27c1c853b335675bee335d893bc3d324b. It can't load modules with the error: "module unix: Unknown relocation: 41". The commit changes __kcrctab from 64-bit valus to 32-bit values. The assembler generates R_PARISC_SECREL32 secrel relocation for them and the module loader doesn't support this relocation. This patch adds the R_PARISC_SECREL32 relocation to the module loader. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.10+ Signed-off-by: Helge Deller
