Rename tracehook_report_syscall_{entry,exit} to
ptrace_report_syscall_{entry,exit} and place them in ptrace.h

There is no longer any generic tracehook infractructure so make
these ptrace specific functions ptrace specific.

<id>urn:sha1:4e57a4ddf6b0d9cce1cf2ffd153df1ad3c2c9cc2</id>
<content type='text'>
The system call number is used in a a couple of places, in particular
ptrace, seccomp and /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/syscall.

The last one apparently never worked reliably on ARM for tasks that are
not currently getting traced.

Storing the syscall number in the normal entry path makes it work,
as well as allowing us to see if the current system call is for OABI
compat mode, which is the next thing I want to hook into.

Since the thread_info-&gt;syscall field is not just the number any more, it
is now renamed to abi_syscall. In kernels that enable both OABI and EABI,
the upper bits of this field encode 0x900000 (__NR_OABI_SYSCALL_BASE)
for OABI tasks, while normal EABI tasks do not set the upper bits. This
makes it possible to implement the in_oabi_syscall() helper later.

All other users of thread_info-&gt;syscall go through the syscall_get_nr()
helper, which in turn filters out the ABI bits.

Note that the ABI information is lost with PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL, so one
cannot set the internal number to a particular version, but this was
already the case. We could change it to let gdb encode the ABI type along
with the syscall in a CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT-enabled kernel, but that itself
would be a (backwards-compatible) ABI change, so I don't do it here.

<title>ARM: ep93xx: remove MaverickCrunch support</title>

<id>urn:sha1:12c3dca25d2fa17a101de0d80bf3f238b1cecbae</id>
<content type='text'>
The MaverickCrunch support for ep93xx never made it into glibc and
was removed from gcc in its 4.8 release in 2012. It is now one of
the last parts of arch/arm/ that fails to build with the clang
integrated assembler, which is unlikely to ever want to support it.

The two alternatives are to force the use of binutils/gas when
building the crunch support, or to remove it entirely.

According to Hartley Sweeten:

 "Martin Guy did a lot of work trying to get the maverick crunch working
  but I was never able to successfully use it for anything. It "kind"
  of works but depending on the EP93xx silicon revision there are still
  a number of hardware bugs that either give imprecise or garbage results.

  I have no problem with removing the kernel support for the maverick
  crunch."

Unless someone else comes up with a good reason to keep it around,
remove it now. This touches mostly the ep93xx platform, but removes
a bit of code from ARM common ptrace and signal frame handling as well.

If there are remaining users of MaverickCrunch, they can use LTS
kernels for at least another five years before kernel support ends.

<id>urn:sha1:e31cf2f4ca422ac9b14ecc4a1295b8977a20f812</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2.

The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are
duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once.  For
instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported
architectures.

Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils
down to, e.g.

static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address)
{
        return (address &gt;&gt; PMD_SHIFT) &amp; (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1);
}

static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address)
{
        return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address);
}

These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided
XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined.

For architectures that really need a custom version there is always
possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic.

These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table
accessors to the new header.

This patch (of 12):

The linux/mm.h header includes &lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt; to allow inlining of the
functions involving page table manipulations, e.g.  pte_alloc() and
pmd_alloc().  So, there is no point to explicitly include &lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt;
in the files that include &lt;linux/mm.h&gt;.

The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop:

	for f in $(git grep -l "include &lt;linux/mm.h&gt;") ; do
		sed -i -e '/include &lt;asm\/pgtable.h&gt;/ d' $f
	done

<title>ARM: 8977/1: ptrace: Fix mask for thumb breakpoint hook</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3866f217aaa81bf7165c7f27362eee5d7919c496</id>
<content type='text'>
call_undef_hook() in traps.c applies the same instr_mask for both 16-bit
and 32-bit thumb instructions. If instr_mask then is only 16 bits wide
(0xffff as opposed to 0xffffffff), the first half-word of 32-bit thumb
instructions will be masked out. This makes the function match 32-bit
thumb instructions where the second half-word is equal to instr_val,
regardless of the first half-word.

The result in this case is that all undefined 32-bit thumb instructions
with the second half-word equal to 0xde01 (udf #1) work as breakpoints
and will raise a SIGTRAP instead of a SIGILL, instead of just the one
intended 16-bit instruction. An example of such an instruction is
0xeaa0de01, which is unallocated according to Arm ARM and should raise a
SIGILL, but instead raises a SIGTRAP.

This patch fixes the issue by setting all the bits in instr_mask, which
will still match the intended 16-bit thumb instruction (where the
upper half is always 0), but not any 32-bit thumb instructions.

Afaict, the struct seccomp_data argument to secure_computing() is unused
by all current callers. So let's remove it.
The argument was added in [1]. It was added because having the arch
supply the syscall arguments used to be faster than having it done by
secure_computing() (cf. Andy's comment in [2]). This is not true anymore
though.

Pull force_sig() argument change from Eric Biederman:
 "A source of error over the years has been that force_sig has taken a
  task parameter when it is only safe to use force_sig with the current
  task.

  The force_sig function is built for delivering synchronous signals
  such as SIGSEGV where the userspace application caused a synchronous
  fault (such as a page fault) and the kernel responded with a signal.

  Because the name force_sig does not make this clear, and because the
  force_sig takes a task parameter the function force_sig has been
  abused for sending other kinds of signals over the years. Slowly those
  have been fixed when the oopses have been tracked down.

  This set of changes fixes the remaining abusers of force_sig and
  carefully rips out the task parameter from force_sig and friends
  making this kind of error almost impossible in the future"
