| * Make most arch asm/module.h files use asm-generic/module.hDavid Howells2012-09-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela, ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS. Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible. To this end, I've defined three new config bools: (*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic mod_arch_specific struct. (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records. This causes the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message. (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records. This causes the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message. Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are two arches that do this. With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file. Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.

As of commit 04d2c8c83d0e3ac5f78aeede51babb3236200112 ("printk: convert the format for KERN_<LEVEL> to a 2 byte pattern"), KERN_<LEVEL> is no longer expanded to the literal '"<LEVEL>"', but to '"\001" "LEVEL"', i.e. it contains two parts. However, the combo of DEFINE_STR() in arch/x86/um/shared/sysdep/kernel-offsets.h and sed-y in Kbuild doesn't support string literals consisting of multiple parts. Hence for all UM_KERN_<LEVEL> definitions, only the SOH character is retained in the actual definition, while the remainder ends up in the comment. E.g. in include/generated/asm-offsets.h we get #define UM_KERN_INFO "\001" /* "6" KERN_INFO */ instead of #define UM_KERN_INFO "\001" "6" /* KERN_INFO */ This causes spurious '^A' output in some kernel messages: Calibrating delay loop... 4640.76 BogoMIPS (lpj=23203840) pid_max: default: 32768 minimum: 301 Mount-cache hash table entries: 256 ^AChecking that host ptys support output SIGIO...Yes ^AChecking that host ptys support SIGIO on close...No, enabling workaround ^AUsing 2.6 host AIO NET: Registered protocol family 16 bio: create slab <bio-0> at 0 Switching to clocksource itimer To fix this: - Move the mapping from UM_KERN_<LEVEL> to KERN_<LEVEL> from arch/um/include/shared/common-offsets.h to arch/um/include/shared/user.h, which is preincluded for all userspace parts, - Preinclude include/linux/kern_levels.h for all userspace parts, to obtain the in-kernel KERN_<LEVEL> constant definitions. This doesn't violate the kernel/userspace separation, as include/linux/kern_levels.h is self-contained and doesn't expose any other kernel internals. - Remove the now unused STR() and DEFINE_STR() macros.

This is achieved by the architecture enabling BUILDTIME_EXTABLE_SORT. This option is enabled for x86 and MIPS currently. On x86 a number of fixes and changes were needed to allow build-time sorting of the exception table, in particular a relocation invariant exception table format was needed. This required the abstracting out of exception table protocol and the removal of 20 years of accumulated assumptions about the x86 exception table format. While at it, this tree also cleans up various other aspects of exception handling, such as early(er) exception handling for rdmsr_safe() et al. All in one, as the result of these changes the x86 exception code is now pretty nice and modern. As an added bonus any regressions in this code will be early and violent crashes, so if you see any of those, you'll know whom to blame!"

* / coredump: remove VM_ALWAYSDUMP flagJason Baron2012-03-23
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which can be quite large. There are already a number of filter flags in /proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types' of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this case). Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag. The flag is used internally by the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages. However, it is simple enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need for this flag. The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new 'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags: 'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'. The core dump filters continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the region. The qemu code which implements this features is at: http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this patch. I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are dumped. This patch: The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section. However, we can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from arch_vma_name(). Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.

Stephen Rothwell root-caused it and says: "Caused by commit d7e7528bcd45 ("Audit: push audit success and retcode into arch ptrace.h") (another patch that was never in linux-next :-(). This file now needs protection against double inclusion." so let's do as the man says.

| * Audit: push audit success and retcode into arch ptrace.hEric Paris2012-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The audit system previously expected arches calling to audit_syscall_exit to supply as arguments if the syscall was a success and what the return code was. Audit also provides a helper AUDITSC_RESULT which was supposed to simplify things by converting from negative retcodes to an audit internal magic value stating success or failure. This helper was wrong and could indicate that a valid pointer returned to userspace was a failed syscall. The fix is to fix the layering foolishness. We now pass audit_syscall_exit a struct pt_reg and it in turns calls back into arch code to collect the return value and to determine if the syscall was a success or failure. We also define a generic is_syscall_success() macro which determines success/failure based on if the value is < -MAX_ERRNO. This works for arches like x86 which do not use a separate mechanism to indicate syscall failure. We make both the is_syscall_success() and regs_return_value() static inlines instead of macros. The reason is because the audit function must take a void* for the regs. (uml calls theirs struct uml_pt_regs instead of just struct pt_regs so audit_syscall_exit can't take a struct pt_regs). Since the audit function takes a void* we need to use static inlines to cast it back to the arch correct structure to dereference it. The other major change is that on some arches, like ia64, MIPS and ppc, we change regs_return_value() to give us the negative value on syscall failure. THE only other user of this macro, kretprobe_example.c, won't notice and it makes the value signed consistently for the audit functions across all archs. In arch/sh/kernel/ptrace_64.c I see that we were using regs[9] in the old audit code as the return value. But the ptrace_64.h code defined the macro regs_return_value() as regs[3]. I have no idea which one is correct, but this patch now uses the regs_return_value() function, so it now uses regs[3]. For powerpc we previously used regs->result but now use the regs_return_value() function which uses regs->gprs[3]. regs->gprs[3] is always positive so the regs_return_value(), much like ia64 makes it negative before calling the audit code when appropriate.

The 32-bit version lost it due to copy and paste from the 64-bit version, which was missing the const.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now when the native kernel uses a single style of generated system call table, follow suite for UML and implement the same style, all in C. This requires __NR_syscall_max and NR_syscalls to be generated; on native this is done in asm-headers.h but that file is common to all UML architectures; therefore put it in user-headers.h instead which already have accommodations for architecture-specific values.
