uml: check length in exitcode_proc_write()

2013-11-13T03:08:10Z

commit 201f99f170df14ba52ea4c52847779042b7a623b upstream. We don't cap the size of buffer from the user so we could write past the end of the array here. Only root can write to this file.

um: Implement probe_kernel_read()

2013-09-27T00:21:58Z

commit f75b1b1bedfb498cc43a992ce4d7ed8df3b1e770 upstream. UML needs it's own probe_kernel_read() to handle kernel mode faults correctly. The implementation uses mincore() on the host side to detect whether a page is owned by the UML kernel process. This fixes also a possible crash when sysrq-t is used. Starting with 3.10 sysrq-t calls probe_kernel_read() to read details from the kernel workers. As kernel worker are completely async pointers may turn NULL while reading them.

um: siginfo cleanup

2013-07-19T09:31:36Z

Currently we use both struct siginfo and siginfo_t. Let's use struct siginfo internally to avoid ongoing compiler warning. We are allowed to do so because struct siginfo and siginfo_t are equivalent. Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

um: Mark stub pages mapping with VM_PFNMAP

2013-07-19T08:45:17Z

Ensure that a process cannot destroy his stub pages with using MADV_DONTNEED and friends. Reported-by: toralf.foerster@gmx.de Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

um: Fix return value of strnlen_user()

2013-07-19T08:45:17Z

In case of an error it must not return -EFAULT. Return 0 like all other archs do. Reported-by: toralf.foerster@gmx.de Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

UML: normalize global variables exported by vmlinux.lds

2013-07-03T23:07:34Z

Normalize global variables exported by vmlinux.lds to conform usage guidelines from include/asm-generic/sections.h. 1) Use _text to mark the start of the kernel image including the head text, and _stext to mark the start of the .text section. 2) Export mandatory global variables __bss_stop. 3) Adjust __init_begin and __init_end to avoid acrossing .text and .data sections.

mm: concentrate modification of totalram_pages into the mm core

2013-07-03T23:07:33Z

Concentrate code to modify totalram_pages into the mm core, so the arch memory initialized code doesn't need to take care of it. With these changes applied, only following functions from mm core modify global variable totalram_pages: free_bootmem_late(), free_all_bootmem(), free_all_bootmem_node(), adjust_managed_page_count(). With this patch applied, it will be much more easier for us to keep totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages in consistence. Signed-off-by: Jiang Liu Acked-by: David Howells Cc: "H.

mm: enhance free_reserved_area() to support poisoning memory with zero

2013-07-03T23:07:32Z

Address more review comments from last round of code review. 1) Enhance free_reserved_area() to support poisoning freed memory with pattern '0'. This could be used to get rid of poison_init_mem() on ARM64. 2) A previous patch has disabled memory poison for initmem on s390 by mistake, so restore to the original behavior. 3) Remove redundant PAGE_ALIGN() when calling free_reserved_area().
