s390: fix test_fp_ctl inline assembly contraints

2016-07-27T15:42:24Z

commit bcf4dd5f9ee096bd1510f838dd4750c35df4e38b upstream. The test_fp_ctl function is used to test if a given value is a valid floating-point control. The inline assembly in test_fp_ctl uses an incorrect constraint for the 'orig_fpc' variable. If the compiler chooses the same register for 'fpc' and 'orig_fpc' the test_fp_ctl() function always returns true. This allows user space to trigger kernel oopses with invalid floating-point control values on the signal stack. This problem has been introduced with git commit 4725c86055f5bbdcdf "s390: fix save and restore of the floating-point-control register" Reviewed-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

s390/fpu: signals vs. floating point control register

2016-02-22T08:29:35Z

git commit 904818e2f229f3d94ec95f6932a6358c81e73d78 "s390/kernel: introduce fpu-internal.h with fpu helper functions" introduced the fpregs_store / fp_regs_load helper. These function fail to save and restore the floating pointer control registers. The effect is that the FPC is not correctly handled on signal delivery and signal return.

s390/dump: rework CPU register dump code

2015-11-27T08:24:14Z

To collect the CPU registers of the crashed system allocated a single page with memblock_alloc_base and use it as a copy buffer. Replace the stop-and-store-status sigp with a store-status-at-address sigp in smp_save_dump_cpus() and smp_store_status(). In both cases the target CPU is already stopped and store-status-at-address avoids the detour via the absolute zero page. For kexec simplify s390_reset_system and call store_status() before the prefix register of the boot CPU has been set to zero. Use STPX to store the prefix register and remove dump_prefix_page.

s390/fpu: split fpu-internal.h into fpu internals, api, and type headers

2015-10-16T07:41:12Z

Split the API and FPU type definitions into separate header files similar to "x86/fpu: Rename fpu-internal.h to fpu/internal.h" (78f7f1e54b). The new header files and their meaning are: asm/fpu/types.h: FPU related data types, needed for 'struct thread_struct' and 'struct task_struct'. asm/fpu/api.h: FPU related 'public' functions for other subsystems and device drivers. asm/fpu/internal.h: FPU internal functions mainly used to convert FPU register contents in signal handling.
