into devel-stable This series provides the needed changes to suport the ELF_FDPIC binary format on ARM. Both MMU and non-MMU systems are supported. This format has many advantages over the BFLT format used on MMU-less systems, such as being real ELF that can be parsed by standard tools, can support shared dynamic libs, etc.
2017-09-17arm/syscalls: Optimize address limit checkThomas Garnier
Disable the generic address limit check in favor of an architecture specific optimized implementation. The generic implementation using pending work flags did not work well with ARM and alignment faults. The address limit is checked on each syscall return path to user-mode path as well as the irq user-mode return function. If the address limit was changed, a function is called to report data corruption (stopping the kernel or process based on configuration). The address limit check has to be done before any pending work because they can reset the address limit and the process is killed using a SIGKILL signal. For example the lkdtm address limit check does not work because the signal to kill the process will reset the user-mode address limit.

2017-09-17Revert "arm/syscalls: Check address limit on user-mode return"Thomas Garnier
This reverts commit 73ac5d6a2b6ac3ae8d1e1818f3e9946f97489bc9. The work pending loop can call set_fs after addr_limit_user_check removed the _TIF_FSCHECK flag. This may happen at anytime based on how ARM handles alignment exceptions. It leads to an infinite loop condition. After discussion, it has been agreed that the generic approach is not tailored to the ARM architecture and any fix might not be complete. This patch will be replaced by an architecture specific implementation. The work flag approach will be kept for other architectures.

2017-09-10ARM: signal handling support for FDPIC_FUNCPTRS functionsNicolas Pitre
Signal handlers are not direct function pointers but pointers to function descriptor in that case. Therefore we must retrieve the actual function address and load the GOT value into r9 from the descriptor before branching to the actual handler. If a restorer is provided, we also have to load its address and GOT from its descriptor. That descriptor address and the code to load it is pushed onto the stack to be executed as soon as the signal handler returns. However, to be compatible with NX stacks, the FDPIC bounce code is also copied to the signal page along with the other code stubs. Therefore this code must get at the descriptor address whether it executes from the stack or the signal page. To do so we use the stack pointer which points at the signal stack frame where the descriptor address was stored. Because the rt signal frame is different from the simpler frame, two versions of the bounce code are needed, and two variants (ARM and Thumb) as well. The asm-offsets facility is used to determine the actual offset in the signal frame for each version, meaning that struct sigframe and rt_sigframe had to be moved to a separate file.

2017-07-24ARM: 8687/1: signal: Fix unparseable iwmmxt_sigframe in uc_regspace[]Dave Martin
In kernels with CONFIG_IWMMXT=y running on non-iWMMXt hardware, the signal frame can be left partially uninitialised in such a way that userspace cannot parse uc_regspace[] safely. In particular, this means that the VFP registers cannot be located reliably in the signal frame when a multi_v7_defconfig kernel is run on the majority of platforms. The cause is that the uc_regspace[] is laid out statically based on the kernel config, but the decision of whether to save/restore the iWMMXt registers must be a runtime decision. To minimise breakage of software that may assume a fixed layout, this patch emits a dummy block of the same size as iwmmxt_sigframe, for non-iWMMXt threads. However, the magic and size of this block are now filled in to help parsers skip over it. A new DUMMY_MAGIC is defined for this purpose. It is probably legitimate (if non-portable) for userspace to manufacture its own sigframe for sigreturn, and there is no obvious reason why userspace should be required to insert a DUMMY_MAGIC block when running on non-iWMMXt hardware, when omitting it has worked just fine forever in other configurations. So in this case, sigreturn does not require this block to be present.

2017-07-08arm/syscalls: Check address limit on user-mode returnThomas Garnier
Ensure the address limit is a user-mode segment before returning to user-mode. Otherwise a process can corrupt kernel-mode memory and elevate privileges [1]. The set_fs function sets the TIF_SETFS flag to force a slow path on return. In the slow path, the address limit is checked to be USER_DS if needed. The TIF_SETFS flag is added to _TIF_WORK_MASK shifting _TIF_SYSCALL_WORK for arm instruction immediate support. The global work mask is too big to used on a single instruction so adapt ret_fast_syscall.

2015-09-16ARM: fix Thumb2 signal handling when ARMv6 is enabledRussell King
When a kernel is built covering ARMv6 to ARMv7, we omit to clear the IT state when entering a signal handler. This can cause the first few instructions to be conditionally executed depending on the parent context. In any case, the original test for >= ARMv7 is broken - ARMv6 can have Thumb-2 support as well, and an ARMv6T2 specific build would omit this code too. Relax the test back to ARMv6 or greater. This results in us always clearing the IT state bits in the PSR, even on CPUs where these bits are reserved. However, they're reserved for the IT state, so this should cause no harm.

2015-02-12all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_structAndy Lutomirski
If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting the restart block is a very juicy exploit target. This is because the restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack. Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by making the restart_block harder to locate. Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy targets, at least on some architectures. It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less identical on all architectures.

2013-08-01ARM: move signal handlers into a vdso-like pageRussell King
Move the signal handlers into a VDSO page rather than keeping them in the vectors page.

2013-06-17ARM: mpu: protect the vectors page with an MPU regionJonathan Austin
Without an MMU it is possible for userspace programs to start executing code in places that they have no business executing. The MPU allows some level of protection against this. This patch protects the vectors page from access by userspace processes. Userspace tasks that dereference a null pointer are already protected by an svc at 0x0 that kills them. However when tasks use an offset from a null pointer (eg a function in a null struct) they miss this carefully placed svc and enter the exception vectors in user mode, ending up in the kernel. This patch causes programs that do this to receive a SEGV instead of happily entering the kernel in user-mode, and hence avoid a 'Bad Mode' panic. As part of this change it is necessary to make sigreturn happen via the stack when there is not an sa_restorer function. This change is invisible to userspace, and irrelevant to code compiled using a uClibc toolchain, which always uses an sa_restorer function. Because we don't get to remap the vectors in !MMU kuser_helpers are not in a defined location, and hence aren't usable. This means we don't need to worry about keeping them accessible from PL0 Signed-off-by: Jonathan Austin <jonathan.austin@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> CC: Nicolas Pitre <nico@linaro.org> CC: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

This reverts commit 6b5c8045ecc7e726cdaa2a9d9c8e5008050e1252. Conflicts: arch/arm/kernel/ptrace.c The new syscall restarting code can lead to problems if we take an interrupt in userspace just before restarting the svc instruction. If a signal is delivered when returning from the interrupt, the TIF_SYSCALL_RESTARTSYS will remain set and cause any syscalls executed from the signal handler to be treated as a restart of the previously interrupted system call. This includes the final sigreturn call, meaning that we may fail to exit from the signal context. Furthermore, if a system call made from the signal handler requires a restart via the restart_block, it is possible to clear the thread flag and fail to restart the originally interrupted system call. The right solution to this problem is to perform the restarting in the kernel, avoiding the possibility of handling a further signal before the restart is complete. Since we're almost at -rc6, let's revert the new method for now and aim for in-kernel restarting at a later date.

2012-07-05ARM: 7442/1: Revert "remove unused restart trampoline"Will Deacon
This reverts commit fa18484d0947b976a769d15c83c50617493c81c1. We need the restart trampoline back so that we can revert a related problematic patch 6b5c8045ecc7e726cdaa2a9d9c8e5008050e1252 ("arm: new way of handling ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK").

2012-06-01new helper: signal_delivered()Al Viro
Does block_sigmask() + tracehook_signal_handler(); called when sigframe has been successfully built. All architectures converted to it; block_sigmask() itself is gone now (merged into this one). I'm still not too happy with the signature, but that's a separate story (IMO we need a structure that would contain signal number + siginfo + k_sigaction, so that get_signal_to_deliver() would fill one, signal_delivered(), handle_signal() and probably setup...frame() - take one).

2012-06-01most of set_current_blocked() callers want SIGKILL/SIGSTOP removed from setAl Viro
Only 3 out of 63 do not. Renamed the current variant to __set_current_blocked(), added set_current_blocked() that will exclude unblockable signals, switched open-coded instances to it. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2012-05-21arm: new way of handling ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCKAl Viro
new "syscall start" flag; handled in syscall_trace() by switching syscall number to that of syscall_restart(2). Restarts of that kind (ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK) are handled by setting that bit; syscall number is not modified until the actual call. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2012-05-21arm: if we get into work_pending while returning to kernel mode, just go awayAl Viro
