parisc,metag: Fix crashes due to stack randomization on stack-grows-upwards architectures

2015-06-06T15:21:05+00:00

commit d045c77c1a69703143a36169c224429c48b9eecd upstream. On architectures where the stack grows upwards (CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP=y, currently parisc and metag only) stack randomization sometimes leads to crashes when the stack ulimit is set to lower values than STACK_RND_MASK (which is 8 MB by default if not defined in arch-specific headers). The problem is, that when the stack vm_area_struct is set up in fs/exec.c, the additional space needed for the stack randomization (as defined by the value of STACK_RND_MASK) was not taken into account yet and as such, when the stack randomization code added a random offset to the stack start, the stack effectively got smaller than what the user defined via rlimit_max(RLIMIT_STACK) which then sometimes leads to out-of-stack situations and crashes. This patch fixes it by adding the maximum possible amount of memory (based on STACK_RND_MASK) which theoretically could be added by the stack randomization code to the initial stack size. That way, the user-defined stack size is always guaranteed to be at minimum what is defined via rlimit_max(RLIMIT_STACK). This bug is currently not visible on the metag architecture, because on metag STACK_RND_MASK is defined to 0 which effectively disables stack randomization. The changes to fs/exec.c are inside an "#ifdef CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP" section, so it does not affect other platformws beside those where the stack grows upwards (parisc and metag).

parisc: Fix pmd code to depend on PT_NLEVELS value, not on CONFIG_64BIT

2015-03-23T11:28:16+00:00

Make the code which sets up the pmd depend on PT_NLEVELS == 3, not on CONFIG_64BIT. The reason is, that a 64bit kernel with a page size greater than 4k doesn't need the pmd and thus has PT_NLEVELS = 2. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

parisc: mm: don't count preallocated pmds

2015-03-23T11:28:15+00:00

The patch dc6c9a35b66b520cf67e05d8ca60ebecad3b0479 that counts pmds allocated for a process introduced a bug on 64-bit PA-RISC kernels. The PA-RISC architecture preallocates one pmd with each pgd. This preallocated pmd can never be freed - pmd_free does nothing when it is called with this pmd. When the kernel attempts to free this preallocated pmd, it decreases the count of allocated pmds. The result is that the counter underflows and this error is reported. This patch fixes the bug by artifically incrementing the counter in pmd_free when the kernel tries to free the preallocated pmd.

mm: add missing __PAGETABLE_{PUD,PMD}_FOLDED defines

2015-02-28T17:57:51+00:00

Core mm expects __PAGETABLE_{PUD,PMD}_FOLDED to be defined if these page table levels folded. Usually, these defines are provided by and . But some architectures fold page table levels in a custom way. They need to define these macros themself. This patch adds missing defines. The patch fixes mm->nr_pmds underflow and eliminates dead __pmd_alloc() and __pud_alloc() on architectures without these page table levels. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

parisc: Remove unused function

Remove the function smp_send_start() that is not used anywhere. This was partially found by using a static code analysis program called cppcheck. Signed-off-by: Rickard Strandqvist Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

parisc: macro whitespace fixes

2015-02-17T09:39:14+00:00

While working on arch/parisc/include/asm/uaccess.h, I noticed that some macros within this header are made harder to read because they violate a coding style rule: space is missing after comma. Fix it up. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

parisc/uaccess: fix sparse errors

virtio wants to read bitwise types from userspace using get_user. At the moment this triggers sparse errors, since the value is passed through an integer. Fix that up using __force. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin Acked-by: Helge Deller Signed-off-by: Helge Deller
