Merge branch 'exec_domain_rip_v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rw/misc

2015-04-15T20:53:55+00:00

Pull exec domain removal from Richard Weinberger:
 "This series removes execution domain support from Linux.

  The idea behind exec domains was to support different ABIs.  The
  feature was never complete nor stable.  Let's rip it out and make the
  kernel signal handling code less complicated"

unicore32: Remove signal translation and exec_domain

As execution domain support is gone we can remove
signal translation from the signal code and remove
exec_domain from thread_info.

PCI: Assign resources before drivers claim devices (pci_scan_bus())

2015-03-12T20:04:01+00:00

Previously, pci_scan_bus() created a root PCI bus, enumerated the devices
on it, and called pci_bus_add_devices(), which made the devices available
for drivers to claim them.

Most callers assigned resources to devices after pci_scan_bus() returns,
which may be after drivers have claimed the devices.  This is incorrect;
the PCI core should not change device resources while a driver is managing
the device.

Remove pci_bus_add_devices() from pci_scan_bus() and do it after any
resource assignment in the callers.

mm: vmalloc: pass additional vm_flags to __vmalloc_node_range()

2015-02-14T05:21:42+00:00

For instrumenting global variables KASan will shadow memory backing memory
for modules.  So on module loading we will need to allocate memory for
shadow and map it at address in shadow that corresponds to the address
allocated in module_alloc().

__vmalloc_node_range() could be used for this purpose, except it puts a
guard hole after allocated area.  Guard hole in shadow memory should be a
problem because at some future point we might need to have a shadow memory
at address occupied by guard hole.  So we could fail to allocate shadow
for module_alloc().

Now we have VM_NO_GUARD flag disabling guard page, so we need to pass into
__vmalloc_node_range().  Add new parameter 'vm_flags' to
__vmalloc_node_range() function.

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.

nosave: consolidate __nosave_{begin,end} in

2014-10-10T02:26:04+00:00

The different architectures used their own (and different) declarations:

    extern __visible const void __nosave_begin, __nosave_end;
    extern const void __nosave_begin, __nosave_end;
    extern long __nosave_begin, __nosave_end;

This code never even compiled.  Reverting the patch does not work, since
previously used functions no longer exist, so try to fix it up.  Compile

Pull arch signal handling cleanup from Richard Weinberger:
 "This patch series moves all remaining archs to the get_signal(),
  signal_setup_done() and sigsp() functions.

  Currently these archs use open coded variants of the said functions.
  Further, unused parameters get removed from get_signal_to_deliver(),
  tracehook_signal_handler() and signal_delivered().

  At the end of the day we save around 500 lines of code."

platform: Remove most references to platform_bus device

2014-07-24T02:09:03+00:00

A number of board files in arch/arm and arch/unicore32
explicitly reference platform_bus device as a parent
for new platform devices.

This is unnecessary, as platform device API guarantees
that devices with NULL parent are going to by adopted
by the mentioned "root" device.

This patch removes or replaces with NULL such references.
