compat: generic compat get/settimeofday

2008-10-16T18:21:33Z

Nothing arch specific in get/settimeofday. The details of the timeval conversion varied a little from arch to arch, but all with the same results. Also add an extern declaration for sys_tz to linux/time.h because externs in .c files are fowned upon. I'll kill the externs in various other files in a sparate patch.

compat: move cp_compat_stat to common code

2008-10-16T18:21:33Z

struct stat / compat_stat is the same on all architectures, so cp_compat_stat should be, too. Turns out it is, except that various architectures have slightly and some high2lowuid/high2lowgid or the direct assignment instead of the SET_UID/SET_GID that expands to the correct one anyway. This patch replaces the arch-specific cp_compat_stat implementations with a common one based on the x86-64 one. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Acked-by: David S.

[S390] s390: use sys_pause for 31bit pause entry point

2008-10-10T19:33:56Z

sys32_pause is a useless copy of the generic sys_pause. (and it's certainly not there for old sparc32 binaries..) Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

arch: Remove unnecessary inclusions of asm/semaphore.h

2008-04-19T02:14:49Z

None of these files use any of the functionality promised by asm/semaphore.h. It's possible that they rely on it dragging in some unrelated header file, but I can't build all these files, so we'll have fix any build failures as they come up. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox

remove include/asm-*/ipc.h

2007-10-17T15:42:55Z

All asm/ipc.h files do only #include . This patch therefore removes all include/asm-*/ipc.h files and moves the contents of include/asm-generic/ipc.h to include/linux/ipc.h. Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk Cc: Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[S390] System call cleanup.

2007-04-27T14:01:42Z

Remove system call glue for sys_clone, sys_fork, sys_vfork, sys_execve, sys_sigreturn, sys_rt_sigreturn and sys_sigaltstack. Call do_execve from kernel_execve directly, move pt_regs to the right place and branch to sysc_return to start the user space program. This removes the last in-kernel system call.

[PATCH] Common compat_sys_sysinfo

2007-02-11T18:51:32Z

I noticed that almost all architectures implemented exactly the same sys32_sysinfo... except parisc, where a bug was to be found in handling of the uptime. So let's remove a whole whack of code for fun and profit. Cribbed compat_sys_sysinfo from x86_64's implementation, since I figured it would be the best tested. This patch incorporates Arnd's suggestion of not using set_fs/get_fs, but instead extracting out the common code from sys_sysinfo.

[S390] noexec protection

2007-02-05T20:18:17Z

This provides a noexec protection on s390 hardware. Our hardware does not have any bits left in the pte for a hw noexec bit, so this is a different approach using shadow page tables and a special addressing mode that allows separate address spaces for code and data. As a special feature of our "secondary-space" addressing mode, separate page tables can be specified for the translation of data addresses (storage operands) and instruction addresses. The shadow page table is used for the instruction addresses and the standard page table for the data addresses. The shadow page table is linked to the standard page table by a pointer in page->lru.next of the struct page corresponding to the page that contains the standard page table (since page->private is not really private with the pte_lock and the page table pages are not in the LRU list). Depending on the software bits of a pte, it is either inserted into both page tables or just into the standard (data) page table. Pages of a vma that does not have the VM_EXEC bit set get mapped only in the data address space. Any try to execute code on such a page will cause a page translation exception. The standard reaction to this is a SIGSEGV with two exceptions: the two system call opcodes 0x0a77 (sys_sigreturn) and 0x0aad (sys_rt_sigreturn) are allowed. They are stored by the kernel to the signal stack frame. Unfortunately, the signal return mechanism cannot be modified to use an SA_RESTORER because the exception unwinding code depends on the system call opcode stored behind the signal stack frame. This feature requires that user space is executed in secondary-space mode and the kernel in home-space mode, which means that the addressing modes need to be switched and that the noexec protection only works for user space. After switching the addressing modes, we cannot use the mvcp/mvcs instructions anymore to copy between kernel and user space. A new mvcos instruction has been added to the z9 EC/BC hardware which allows to copy between arbitrary address spaces, but on older hardware the page tables need to be walked manually.
