<id>urn:sha1:932aba1e169090357a77af18850a10c256b50819</id>
<content type='text'>
struct stat (defined in arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/stat.h) has 32-bit
st_dev and st_rdev; struct compat_stat (defined in
arch/x86/include/asm/compat.h) has 16-bit st_dev and st_rdev followed by
a 16-bit padding.

This patch fixes struct compat_stat to match struct stat.

[ Historical note: the old x86 'struct stat' did have that 16-bit field
  that the compat layer had kept around, but it was changes back in 2003
  by "struct stat - support larger dev_t":

    https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git/commit/?id=e95b2065677fe32512a597a79db94b77b90c968d

  and back in those days, the x86_64 port was still new, and separate
  from the i386 code, and had already picked up the old version with a
  16-bit st_dev field ]

Note that we can't change compat_dev_t because it is used by
compat_loop_info.

Also, if the st_dev and st_rdev values are 32-bit, we don't have to use
old_valid_dev to test if the value fits into them.  This fixes
-EOVERFLOW on filesystems that are on NVMe because NVMe uses the major
number 259.

All users of compat_alloc_user_space() and copy_in_user() have been
removed from the kernel, only a few functions in sparc remain that can be
changed to calling arch_copy_in_user() instead.

<title>compat: make linux/compat.h available everywhere</title>

Parts of linux/compat.h are under an #ifdef, but we end up
using more of those over time, moving things around bit by
bit.

To get it over with once and for all, make all of this file
uncondititonal now so it can be accessed everywhere. There
are only a few types left that are in asm/compat.h but not
yet in the asm-generic version, so add those in the process.

This requires providing a few more types in asm-generic/compat.h
that were not already there. The only tricky one is
compat_sigset_t, which needs a little help on 32-bit architectures
and for x86.

<title>[amd64] clean PRSTATUS_SIZE/SET_PR_FPVALID up properly</title>

To get rid of hardcoded size/offset in those macros we need to have
a definition of i386 variant of struct elf_prstatus.  However, we can't
do that in asm/compat.h - the types needed for that are not there and
adding an include of asm/user32.h into asm/compat.h would cause a lot
of mess.

That could be conveniently done in elfcore-compat.h, but currently there
is nowhere to put arch-dependent parts of it - no asm/elfcore-compat.h.
So we introduce a new file (asm/elfcore-compat.h, present on architectures
that have CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ELFCORE_COMPAT set, currently only on x86),
have it pulled by linux/elfcore-compat.h and move the definitions there.

As a side benefit, we don't need to worry about accidental inclusion of
that file into binfmt_elf.c itself, so we don't need the dance with
COMPAT_PRSTATUS_SIZE, etc. - only fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c will see
that header.

<title>binfmt_elf: partially sanitize PRSTATUS_SIZE and SET_PR_FPVALID</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=8a00dd0012f383fc0c39b169b694dc15236cec7c'/>
<id>urn:sha1:8a00dd0012f383fc0c39b169b694dc15236cec7c</id>
<content type='text'>
On 64bit architectures that support 32bit processes there are
two possible layouts for NT_PRSTATUS note in ELF coredumps.
For one thing, several fields are 64bit for native processes
and 32bit for compat ones (pr_sigpend, etc.).  For another,
the register dump is obviously different - the size and number
of registers are not going to be the same for 32bit and 64bit
variants of processor.

Usually that's handled by having two structures - elf_prstatus
for native layout and compat_elf_prstatus for 32bit one.
32bit processes are handled by fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c, which
defines a macro called 'elf_prstatus' that expands to compat_elf_prstatus.
Then it includes fs/binfmt_elf.c, which makes all references to
struct elf_prstatus to be textually replaced with struct
compat_elf_prstatus.  Ugly and somewhat brittle, but it works.

However, amd64 is worse - there are _three_ possible layouts.
One for native 64bit processes, another for i386 (32bit) processes
and yet another for x32 (32bit address space with full 64bit
registers).

Both i386 and x32 processes are handled by fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c,
with usual compat_binfmt_elf.c trickery.  However, the layouts
for i386 and x32 are not identical - they have the common beginning,
but the register dump part (pr_reg) is bigger on x32.  Worse, pr_reg
is not the last field - it's followed by int pr_fpvalid, so that
field ends up at different offsets for i386 and x32 layouts.

Fortunately, there's not much code that cares about any of that -
it's all encapsulated in fill_thread_core_info().  Since x32
variant is bigger, we define compat_elf_prstatus to match that
layout.  That way i386 processes have enough space to fit
their layout into.

Moreover, since these layouts are identical prior to pr_reg,
we don't need to distinguish x32 and i386 cases when we are
setting the fields prior to pr_reg.

Filling pr_reg itself is done by calling -&gt;get() method of
appropriate regset, and that method knows what layout (and size)
to use.

We do need to distinguish x32 and i386 cases only for two
things: setting -&gt;pr_fpvalid (offset differs for x32 and
i386) and choosing the right size for our note.

The way it's done is Not Nice, for the lack of more accurate
printable description.  There are two macros (PRSTATUS_SIZE and
SET_PR_FPVALID), that default essentially to sizeof(struct elf_prstatus)
and (S)-&gt;pr_fpvalid = 1.  On x86 asm/compat.h provides its own
variants.

Unfortunately, quite a few things go wrong there:
	* PRSTATUS_SIZE doesn't use the normal test for process
being an x32 one; it compares the size reported by regset with
the size of pr_reg.
	* it hardcodes the sizes of x32 and i386 variants (296 and 144
resp.), so if some change in includes leads to asm/compat.h pulled
in by fs/binfmt_elf.c we are in trouble - it will end up using
the size of x32 variant for 64bit processes.
	* it's in the wrong place; asm/compat.h couldn't define
the structure for i386 layout, since it lacks quite a few types
needed for it.  Hardcoded sizes are largely due to that.

The proper fix would be to have an explicitly defined i386 variant
of structure and have PRSTATUS_SIZE/SET_PR_FPVALID check for
TIF_X32 to choose the variant that should be used.  Unfortunately,
that requires some manipulations of headers; we'll do that later
in the series, but for now let's go with the minimal variant -
rename PRSTATUS_SIZE in asm/compat.h to COMPAT_PRSTATUS_SIZE,
have fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c define PRSTATUS_SIZE to COMPAT_PRSTATUS_SIZE
and use the normal TIF_X32 check in that macro.  The size of i386 variant
is kept hardcoded for now.  Similar story for SET_PR_FPVALID.

When allocating user memory space for a compat system call, don't consider
whether the originating code is IA32 or X32, just allocate from a safe
region for both, beyond the redzone.  This should be safe for IA32, and has
the benefit of avoiding TIF_IA32, which is about to be removed.

non-natural 64-bit type alignment in the compat ABI.  This will only
return true for i386 syscalls on x86_64.

<content type='text'>
Factor out a copy_siginfo_to_external32 helper from
copy_siginfo_to_user32 that fills out the compat_siginfo, but does so
on a kernel space data structure.  With that we can let architectures
override copy_siginfo_to_user32 with their own implementations using
copy_siginfo_to_external32.  That allows moving the x32 SIGCHLD purely
to x86 architecture code.

As a nice side effect copy_siginfo_to_external32 also comes in handy
for avoiding a set_fs() call in the coredump code later on.

Contains improvements from Eric W. Biederman &lt;ebiederm@xmission.com&gt;

move the compat_ptr() definition to linux/compat.h

architecture.

Only s390 needs a special definition, this can use the
self-#define trick we have elsewhere.
