* x86, 64-bit: Move K8 B step iret fixup to fault entry asmBrian Gerst2009-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Move the handling of truncated %rip from an iret fault to the fault entry path. This allows x86-64 to use the standard search_extable() function.

* x86: Fix movq immediate operand constraints in uaccess.hH. Peter Anvin2009-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | The movq instruction, generated by __put_user_asm() when used for 64-bit data, takes a sign-extended immediate ("e") not a zero-extended immediate ("Z"). Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Cc: Uros Bizjak <ubizjak@gmail.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org
* x86, 64-bit: Clean up user address maskingLinus Torvalds2009-06-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The discussion about using "access_ok()" in get_user_pages_fast() (see commit 7f8189068726492950bf1a2dcfd9b51314560abf: "x86: don't use 'access_ok()' as a range check in get_user_pages_fast()" for details and end result), made us notice that x86-64 was really being very sloppy about virtual address checking. So be way more careful and straightforward about masking x86-64 virtual addresses: - All the VIRTUAL_MASK* variants now cover half of the address space, it's not like we can use the full mask on a signed integer, and the larger mask just invites mistakes when applying it to either half of the 48-bit address space. - /proc/kcore's kc_offset_to_vaddr() becomes a lot more obvious when it transforms a file offset into a (kernel-half) virtual address. - Unify/simplify the 32-bit and 64-bit USER_DS definition to be based on TASK_SIZE_MAX. This cleanup and more careful/obvious user virtual address checking also uncovered a buglet in the x86-64 implementation of strnlen_user(): it would do an "access_ok()" check on the whole potential area, even if the string itself was much shorter, and thus return an error even for valid strings. Our sloppy checking had hidden this. So this fixes 'strnlen_user()' to do this properly, the same way we already handled user strings in 'strncpy_from_user()'. Namely by just checking the first byte, and then relying on fault handling for the rest. That always works, since we impose a guard page that cannot be mapped at the end of the user space address space (and even if we didn't, we'd have the address space hole).

* perf_counter, x86: Improve interactions with fast-gupIngo Molnar2009-06-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Improve a few details in perfcounter call-chain recording that makes use of fast-GUP: - Use ACCESS_ONCE() to observe the pte value. ptes are fundamentally racy and can be changed on another CPU, so we have to be careful about how we access them. The PAE branch is already careful with read-barriers - but the non-PAE and 64-bit side needs an ACCESS_ONCE() to make sure the pte value is observed only once. - make the checks a bit stricter so that we can feed it any kind of cra^H^H^H user-space input ;-) Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* x86: uaccess: use errret as error value in __put_user_size()Hiroshi Shimamoto2009-02-04
| | | | | | | | | | | Impact: cleanup In __put_user_size() macro errret is used for error value. But if size is 8, errret isn't passed to__put_user_asm_u64(). This behavior is inconsistent.

* x86: uaccess: introduce try and catch frameworkHiroshi Shimamoto2009-01-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: introduce new uaccess exception handling framework Introduce {get|put}_user_try and {get|put}_user_catch as new uaccess exception handling framework. {get|put}_user_try begins exception block and {get|put}_user_catch(err) ends the block and gets err if an exception occured in {get|put}_user_ex() in the block. The exception is stored thread_info->uaccess_err. The example usage of this framework is below; int func() { int err = 0; get_user_try { get_user_ex(...); get_user_ex(...); : } get_user_catch(err); return err; } Note: get_user_ex() is not clear the value when an exception occurs, it's different from the behavior of __get_user(), but I think it doesn't matter.
