whack-a-mole: no need to set_fs(USER_DS) in {start,flush}_thread()

2015-04-12T02:24:31+00:00

flush_old_exec() has already done that.  Back on 2011 a bunch of
instances like that had been kicked out, but that hadn't taken
care of then-out-of-tree architectures, obviously, and they served
as reinfection vector...

all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct

2015-02-13T02:54:12+00:00

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.

hexagon: Fix build failures in linux-next

2014-12-16T19:27:12+00:00

hexagon:defconfig fails to build in linux-next since commit 332fd7c4fef5
("genirq: Generic chip: Change irq_reg_{readl,writel} arguments").

The primary build failure is

arch/hexagon/include/asm/cacheflush.h: In function 'copy_to_user_page':
arch/hexagon/include/asm/cacheflush.h:89:22: error: 'VM_EXEC' undeclared

This is the result of including of  from ,
which is now necessary due to the use of readl and writel from irq.h.
This causes recursive inclusions in hexagon code; cacheflush.h is included
from mm.h prior to the definition of VM_EXEC.

Fix the problem by moving copy_to_user_page from the hexagon include file to
arch/hexagon/mm/cache.c, similar to other architectures. After this change,
several redefinitions of readl and writel are reported. Those are caused
by recursive inclusions of io.h and asm/cacheflush.h. Fix those problems by
reducing the number of files included from those files. Also, it was necessary
to stop including asm-generic/cacheflush.h from asm/cacheflush.h. Instead,
functionality originally provided by asm-generic/cacheflush.h is now coded
in asm/cacheflush.h directly.

smp, hexagon: kill SMP single function call interrupt

2014-04-04T23:20:01+00:00

Commit 9a46ad6d6df3b54 "smp: make smp_call_function_many() use logic
similar to smp_call_function_single()" has unified the way to handle
single and multiple cross-CPU function calls. Now only one intterupt
is needed for architecture specific code to support generic SMP function
call interfaces, so kill the redundant single function call interrupt.
