score: fix off-by-one index into syscall table

2012-01-23T16:38:49Z

If the provided system call number is equal to __NR_syscalls, the current check will pass and a function pointer just after the system call table may be called, since sys_call_table is an array with total size __NR_syscalls. Whether or not this is a security bug depends on what the compiler puts immediately after the system call table. It's likely that this won't do anything bad because there is an additional NULL check on the syscall entry, but if there happens to be a non-NULL value immediately after the system call table, this may result in local privilege escalation.

cpu: Register a generic CPU device on architectures that currently do not

2012-01-11T23:50:11Z

frv, h8300, m68k, microblaze, openrisc, score, um and xtensa currently do not register a CPU device. Add the config option GENERIC_CPU_DEVICES which causes a generic CPU device to be registered for each present CPU, and make all these architectures select it. Richard Weinberger covered UML and suggested using per_cpu. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

lib: use generic pci_iomap on all architectures Many architectures don't want to pull in iomap.c, so they ended up duplicating pci_iomap from that file. That function isn't trivial, and we are going to modify it https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/14/183 so the duplication hurts. This reduces the scope of the problem significantly, by moving pci_iomap to a separate file and referencing that from all architectures. * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mst/vhost: alpha: drop pci_iomap/pci_iounmap from pci-noop.c mn10300: switch to GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP mn10300: add missing __iomap markers frv: switch to GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP tile: switch to GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP tile: don't panic on iomap sparc: switch to GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP sh: switch to GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP powerpc: switch to GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP parisc: switch to GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP mips: switch to GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP microblaze: switch to GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP arm: switch to GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP alpha: switch to GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP lib: add GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP lib: move GENERIC_IOMAP to lib/Kconfig Fix up trivial conflicts due to changes nearby in arch/{m68k,score}/Kconfig

memblock: Kill early_node_map[]

2011-12-08T18:22:09Z

Now all ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP archs select HAVE_MEBLOCK_NODE_MAP - there's no user of early_node_map[] left. Kill early_node_map[] and replace ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP with HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP. Also, relocate for_each_mem_pfn_range() and helper from mm.h to memblock.h as page_alloc.c would no longer host an alternative implementation. This change is ultimately one to one mapping and shouldn't cause any observable difference; however, after the recent changes, there are some functions which now would fit memblock.c better than page_alloc.c and dependency on HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP instead of HAVE_MEMBLOCK doesn't make much sense on some of them. Further cleanups for functions inside HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP in mm.h would be nice. -v2: Fix compile bug introduced by mis-spelling CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP to CONFIG_MEMBLOCK_HAVE_NODE_MAP in mmzone.h.

score: Use HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP

2011-12-08T18:22:09Z

score used early_node_map[] just to prime free_area_init_nodes(). Now memblock can be used for the same purpose and early_node_map[] is scheduled to be dropped. Use memblock instead. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Cc: Yinghai Lu Cc: Chen Liqin Cc: Lennox Wu

lib: move GENERIC_IOMAP to lib/Kconfig

2011-11-24T20:21:19Z

define GENERIC_IOMAP in a central location instead of all architectures. This will be helpful for the follow-up patch which makes it select other configs. Code is also a bit shorter this way. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin

modules: make arch's use default loader hooks

This patch removes all the module loader hook implementations in the architecture specific code where the functionality is the same as that now provided by the recently added default hooks.

By the previous style change, CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_NEXT_BIT, CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_BIT_LE, and CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_LAST_BIT are not used to test for existence of find bitops anymore.

lib: consolidate DEBUG_STACK_USAGE option

2011-05-25T15:39:54Z

Most arches define CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE exactly the same way. Move it to lib/Kconfig.debug so each arch doesn't have to define it. This obviously makes the option generic, but that's fine because the config is already used in generic code. It's not obvious to me that sysrq-P actually does anything caution by keeping the most inclusive wording. Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd Cc: Chris Metcalf Acked-by: David S.
