2012-08-09m68k: Make sys_atomic_cmpxchg_32 work on classic m68kAndreas Schwab
commit 9e2760d18b3cf179534bbc27692c84879c61b97c upstream. User space access must always go through uaccess accessors, since on classic m68k user space and kernel space are completely separate.

2011-06-14m68k: use kernel processor defines for conditional optimizationsGreg Ungerer
Older m68k-linux compilers will include pre-defined symbols that confuse what processor it is being targeted for. For example gcc-4.1.2 will pre-define __mc68020__ even if you specify the target processor as -m68000 on the gcc command line. Newer versions of gcc have this corrected. In a few places the m68k code uses defined(__mc68020__) for optimizations that include instructions that are specific to the CPU 68020 and above. When compiling with older compilers this will be true even when we have selected to compile for the older 68000 processors. Switch to using the kernel processor defines, CONFIG_M68020 and friends.

2011-05-28ns: Wire up the setns system callEric W. Biederman
32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working. The rest I have looked at closely and I can't find any problems. setns is an easy system call to wire up. It just takes two ints so I don't expect any weird architecture porting problems. While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are very slow to get new system calls. cris seems to be the slowest where the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev. avr32 is weird in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h. frv is behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up. On h8300 the last system call wired up was epoll_wait. On m32r the last system call wired up was fallocate. mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system call wired up. The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was new in the 2.6.39. v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com> v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W.

2011-05-24m68k: merge the mmu and non-mmu versions of sys_m68k.cGreg Ungerer
There is a lot of common code in the sys_m68k.c files. The mmu and non-mmu versions can easily be merged into a single file. There is really only 2 functions that differ in the 2 cases. A single ifdef on CONFIG_MMU can take care of this. Alternatively we could break those 2 functions out and maintain sys_m68k_no.c and sys_m68k_mm.c with just this code in it (Makefile could then just build the right one). Does anyone have strong feelings on which way they want this done? Signed-off-by: Greg Ungerer <gerg@uclinux.org>

After cleaning up m68k_ksyms_no.c it is now strait forward to merge the non-mmu and mmu versions of m68k_ksyms.c. The need for the extra gcc functions is not strictly based on having an MMU or not.

2011-05-24m68knommu: remove un-needed exporting of COLDFIRE symbolsGreg Ungerer

2011-05-20extable, core_kernel_data(): Make sure all archs define _sdataSteven Rostedt
A new utility function (core_kernel_data()) is used to determine if a passed in address is part of core kernel data or not. It may or may not return true for RO data, but this utility must work for RW data. Thus both _sdata and _edata must be defined and continuous, without .init sections that may later be freed and replaced by volatile memory (memory that can be freed). This utility function is used to determine if data is safe from ever being freed. Thus it should return true for all RW global data that is not in a module or has been allocated, or false otherwise. Also change core_kernel_data() back to the more precise _sdata condition and document the function.

2011-03-25m68k: merge m68k and m68knommu arch directoriesGreg Ungerer
There is a lot of common code that could be shared between the m68k and m68knommu arch branches. It makes sense to merge the two branches into a single directory structure so that we can more easily share that common code. This is a brute force merge, based on a script from Stephen King <sfking@fdwdc.com>, which was originally written by Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>. > The script was inspired by the script Sam Ravnborg used to merge the > includes from m68knommu. For those files common to both arches but > differing in content, the m68k version of the file is renamed to > <file>_mm.<ext> and the m68knommu version of the file is moved into the > corresponding m68k directory and renamed <file>_no.<ext> and a small > wrapper file <file>.<ext> is used to select between the two version. Files > that are common to both but don't differ are removed from the m68knommu > tree and files and directories that are unique to the m68knommu tree are > moved to the m68k tree. Finally, the arch/m68knommu tree is removed. > > To select between the the versions of the files, the wrapper uses > > #ifdef CONFIG_MMU > #include <file>_mm.<ext> > #else > #include <file>_no.<ext> > #endif On top of this file merge I have done a simplistic merge of m68k and m68knommu Kconfig, which primarily attempts to keep existing options and menus in place. Other than a handful of options being moved it produces identical .config outputs on m68k and m68knommu targets I tested it on. With this in place there is now quite a bit of scope for merge cleanups in future patches. Signed-off-by: Greg Ungerer <gerg@uclinux.org>

2011-01-07m68k: Fix stack mangling logics in sigreturnAl Viro
a) we should hold modifying regs->format until we know we *will* be doing stack expansion; otherwise attacker can modify sigframe to have wrong ->sc_formatvec and install SIGSEGV handler. b) we should *not* mix copying saved extra stuff from userland with expanding the stack; once we'd done that manual memmove, we'd better not return to C, so cleanup is very hard to do. The easiest way is to copy it on stack first, making sure we won't overwrite on stack expansion. Fortunately that's easy to do...

2011-01-07m68k: If we fail to set sigframe up, just leave regs alone...Al Viro
Same principle as with the previous patch - do not destroy the state if sigframe setup fails. Incidentally, it's actually _less_ work - we don't need to go through adjust_stack dance on failure if we don't touch regs->stkadj until we know we'd written sigframe out.

2011-01-07m68k: Don't lose state if sigframe setup failsAl Viro
If we'd failed in setup_frame(), we've no place to store the original sigmask. It's not an unrecoverable situation - we raise SIGSEGV, but that SIGSEGV might be successfully handled (e.g. on altstack). In that case we really don't want sa_mask of original signal permanently slapped on the set of blocked signals. Standard solution: have setup_frame()/setup_rt_frame() report failure and don't mess with the signal-related state if that has happened...

2011-01-07m68k: Simplify the singlestepping handling in signalsAl Viro
Instead of checking the return value of do_signal() we can just do the work (raise SIGTRAP and clear SR.T1) directly in handle_signal(), when setting the sigframe up. Simplifies the assembler glue and is closer to the way we do it on other targets. Note that do_delayed_trace does *not* disappear; it's still needed to deal with single-stepping through syscall, since 68040 doesn't raise the trace exception at all if the trap exception is pending. We hit it after returning from sys_...() if TIF_DELAYED_TRACE is set; all that has changed is that we don't reuse it for "single-step into the handler" codepath. As the result, do_signal() doesn't need to return anything anymore. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org>

2010-08-17Make do_execve() take a const filename pointerDavid Howells
Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles correctly on ARM: arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to. This is because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to copy_strings_kernel(). A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel(). do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as const should be fine. Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match. This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

2010-08-13Mark arguments to certain syscalls as being constDavid Howells
Mark arguments to certain system calls as being const where they should be but aren't. The list includes: (*) The filename arguments of various stat syscalls, execve(), various utimes syscalls and some mount syscalls. (*) The filename arguments of some syscall helpers relating to the above. (*) The buffer argument of various write syscalls. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: David S.
