It really should never happen in the kernel, since the kernel can guarantee it won't get the access rights failure (highest privilege level, and can set %sr and %protid to whatever it wants.) It really genuinely is a bug that probably should panic the kernel. The only precedent I can easily see is x86 fixing up a bad iret with a general protection fault, which is more or less analogous to code 27 here. On the other hand, taking the exception on a userspace access really isn't all that critical, and there's fundamentally little reason for the kernel not to SIGSEGV the process, and continue... Argh. (btw, I've instrumented my do_sys_poll with a pile of assertions that %cr8 << 1 == %sr3 == current->mm.context... let's see if where we're getting corrupted is deterministic, though, I would guess that it won't be.)

2009-01-05parisc: add uevent helper for parisc busHelge Deller1-6/+34
parisc: add uevent helper for parisc bus udev device-driver auto detection was failing to work on the GSC bus, since udev didn't knew wich driver to load due to a missing MODALIAS environment variable from kernel. This patch fixes this by adding the MODALIAS environment variable to the uevent kernel notifications. Since modalias_show() generated the modalias string already, I splitted this out and created a new static function make_modalias() which is now used by modalias_show() and the new parisc_uevent() function.

2009-01-05parisc: fix module loading failure of large kernel modulesHelge Deller2-83/+139
On 32bit (and sometimes 64bit) and with big kernel modules like xfs or ipv6 the relocation types R_PARISC_PCREL17F and R_PARISC_PCREL22F may fail to reach their PLT stub if we only create one big stub array for all sections at the beginning of the core or init section. With this patch we now instead add individual PLT stub entries directly in front of the code sections where the stubs are actually called. This reduces the distance between the PCREL location and the stub entry so that the relocations can be fulfilled. While calculating the final layout of the kernel module in memory, the kernel module loader calls arch_mod_section_prepend() to request the to be reserved amount of memory in front of each individual section. Tested with 32- and 64bit kernels. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

2008-12-13cpumask: centralize cpu_online_map and cpu_possible_mapRusty Russell2-15/+1
Impact: cleanup Each SMP arch defines these themselves. Move them to a central location. Twists: 1) Some archs (m32, parisc, s390) set possible_map to all 1, so we add a CONFIG_INIT_ALL_POSSIBLE for this rather than break them. 2) mips and sparc32 '#define cpu_possible_map phys_cpu_present_map'. Those archs simply have phys_cpu_present_map replaced everywhere. 3) Alpha defined cpu_possible_map to cpu_present_map; this is tricky so I just manipulate them both in sync. 4) IA64, cris and m32r have gratuitous 'extern cpumask_t cpu_possible_map' declarations.

2008-11-26parisc: struct device - replace bus_id with dev_name(), dev_set_name()Kay Sievers2-4/+6
(I did not compile or test it, please let me know, or help fixing it, if something is wrong with the conversion) This patch is part of a larger patch series which will remove the "char bus_id[20]" name string from struct device. The device name is managed in the kobject anyway, and without any size limitation, and just needlessly copied into "struct device". To set and read the device name dev_name(dev) and dev_set_name(dev) must be used. If your code uses static kobjects, which it shouldn't do, "const char *init_name" can be used to statically provide the name the registered device should have. At registration time, the init_name field is cleared, to enforce the use of dev_name(dev) to access the device name at a later time. We need to get rid of all occurrences of bus_id in the entire tree to be able to enable the new interface. Please apply this patch, and possibly convert any remaining remaining occurrences of bus_id. We want to submit a patch to -next, which will remove bus_id from "struct device", to find the remaining pieces to convert, and finally switch over to the new api, which will remove the 20 bytes array and does no longer have a size limitation.

2008-11-26parisc: fix kernel crash when unwinding a userspace processHelge Deller1-22/+21
Any user on existing parisc 32- and 64bit-kernels can easily crash the kernel and as such enforce a DSO. A simple testcase is available here: http://gsyprf10.external.hp.com/~deller/crash.tgz The problem is introduced by the fact, that the handle_interruption() crash handler calls the show_regs() function, which in turn tries to unwind the stack by calling parisc_show_stack(). Since the stack contains userspace addresses, a try to unwind the stack is dangerous and useless and leads to the crash. The fix is trivial: For userspace processes a) avoid to unwind the stack, and b) avoid to resolve userspace addresses to kernel symbol names. While touching this code, I converted print_symbol() to %pS printk formats and made parisc_show_stack() static. An initial patch for this was written by Kyle McMartin back in August: http://marc.info/?l=linux-parisc&m=121805168830283&w=2 Compile and run-tested with a 64bit parisc kernel.

But since translate_usr_offset() returns -1 for invalid offsets, addr can now get the value 0xffffffff which then fails the next return-value sanity check and thus the kernel tries to access invalid memory: if (addr < 0) break; Fix this bug by modifying translate_usr_offset() to take and return values of type compat_ulong_t, and by returning the value "sizeof(struct pt_regs)" as an error indicator. Additionally change the sanity check to check for return values for >= sizeof(struct pt_regs). This patch survived my compile and run-tests.

Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id(). In some places it makes more sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be addressed by later patches.

2008-10-20container freezer: implement freezer cgroup subsystemMatt Helsley1-0/+2
This patch implements a new freezer subsystem in the control groups framework. It provides a way to stop and resume execution of all tasks in a cgroup by writing in the cgroup filesystem. The freezer subsystem in the container filesystem defines a file named freezer.state. Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks in the cgroup. Subsequently writing "RUNNING" will unfreeze the tasks in the cgroup. Reading will return the current state. * Examples of usage : # mkdir /containers/freezer # mount -t cgroup -ofreezer freezer /containers # mkdir /containers/0 # echo $some_pid > /containers/0/tasks to get status of the freezer subsystem : # cat /containers/0/freezer.state RUNNING to freeze all tasks in the container : # echo FROZEN > /containers/0/freezer.state # cat /containers/0/freezer.state FREEZING # cat /containers/0/freezer.state FROZEN to unfreeze all tasks in the container : # echo RUNNING > /containers/0/freezer.state # cat /containers/0/freezer.state RUNNING This is the basic mechanism which should do the right thing for user space task in a simple scenario. It's important to note that freezing can be incomplete. In that case we return EBUSY. This means that some tasks in the cgroup are busy doing something that prevents us from completely freezing the cgroup at this time. After EBUSY, the cgroup will remain partially frozen -- reflected by freezer.state reporting "FREEZING" when read. The state will remain "FREEZING" until one of these things happens: 1) Userspace cancels the freezing operation by writing "RUNNING" to the freezer.state file 2) Userspace retries the freezing operation by writing "FROZEN" to the freezer.state file (writing "FREEZING" is not legal and returns EIO) 3) The tasks that blocked the cgroup from entering the "FROZEN" state disappear from the cgroup's set of tasks.

Nothing arch specific in get/settimeofday. The details of the timeval conversion varied a little from arch to arch, but all with the same results. Also add an extern declaration for sys_tz to linux/time.h because externs in .c files are fowned upon. I'll kill the externs in various other files in a sparate patch.

2008-10-16compat: move cp_compat_stat to common codeChristoph Hellwig1-47/+0
struct stat / compat_stat is the same on all architectures, so cp_compat_stat should be, too. Turns out it is, except that various architectures have slightly and some high2lowuid/high2lowgid or the direct assignment instead of the SET_UID/SET_GID that expands to the correct one anyway. This patch replaces the arch-specific cp_compat_stat implementations with a common one based on the x86-64 one. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Acked-by: David S.
