Russell King 53399053eb ARM: Ensure predictable endian state on signal handler entry
Ensure a predictable endian state when entering signal handlers.  This
avoids programs which use SETEND to momentarily switch their endian
state from having their signal handlers entered with an unpredictable
endian state.

Imre Deak 82c6f5a5b3 ARM: 6051/1: VFP: preserve the HW context when calling signal handlers
From: Imre Deak <imre.deak@nokia.com>

Signal handlers can use floating point, so prevent them to corrupt
the main thread's VFP context. So far there were two signal stack
frame formats defined based on the VFP implementation, but the user
struct used for ptrace covers all posibilities, so use it for the
signal stack too.

Introduce also a new user struct for VFP exception registers. In
this too fields not relevant to the current VFP architecture are
ignored.

Support to save / restore the exception registers was added by
Will Deacon.

Jean PIHET 3336f4f08e ARM: 5793/1: ARM: Check put_user fail in do_signal when enable OABI_COMPAT
Using OABI, the call to put_user in do_signal can fail causing the
calling app to hang.

The solution is to check if put_user fails and force the app to
seg fault in that case.

Tested with multiple sleeping apps/threads (using the nanosleep syscall)
and suspend/resume.

Russell King ab72b00734 ARM: Fix signal restart issues with NX and OABI compat
The signal restarting code was placed on the user stack when OABI
compatibility is enabled.  Unfortunately, with an EABI NX executable,
this results in an attempt to run code from the non-executable stack,
which segfaults the application.

Fix this by placing the code in the vectors page, along side the
signal return code, and directing the application to that code.

David Howells ee18d64c1f KEYS: Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring on its parent [try #6]
Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring onto its parent.  This
replaces the parent's session keyring.  Because the COW credential code does
not permit one process to change another process's credentials directly, the
change is deferred until userspace next starts executing again.  Normally this
will be after a wait*() syscall.

To support this, three new security hooks have been provided:
cred_alloc_blank() to allocate unset security creds, cred_transfer() to fill in
the blank security creds and key_session_to_parent() - which asks the LSM if
the process may replace its parent's session keyring.

The replacement may only happen if the process has the same ownership details
as its parent, and the process has LINK permission on the session keyring, and
the session keyring is owned by the process, and the LSM permits it.

Note that this requires alteration to each architecture's notify_resume path.
This has been done for all arches barring blackfin, m68k* and xtensa, all of
which need assembly alteration to support TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME.  This allows the
replacement to be performed at the point the parent process resumes userspace
execution.

This allows the userspace AFS pioctl emulation to fully emulate newpag() and
the VIOCSETTOK and VIOCSETTOK2 pioctls, all of which require the ability to
alter the parent process's PAG membership.  However, since kAFS doesn't use
PAGs per se, but rather dumps the keys into the session keyring, the session
keyring of the parent must be replaced if, for example, VIOCSETTOK is passed
the newpag flag.

This can be tested with the following program:

	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <stdlib.h>
	#include <keyutils.h>

	#define KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT	18

	#define OSERROR(X, S) do { if ((long)(X) == -1) { perror(S); exit(1); } } while(0)

	int main(int argc, char **argv)
	{
		key_serial_t keyring, key;
		long ret;

		keyring = keyctl_join_session_keyring(argv[1]);
		OSERROR(keyring, "keyctl_join_session_keyring");

		key = add_key("user", "a", "b", 1, keyring);
		OSERROR(key, "add_key");

		ret = keyctl(KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT);
		OSERROR(ret, "KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT");

		return 0;
	}

Compiled and linked with -lkeyutils, you should see something like:

	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
	Session Keyring
	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: _ses
	355907932 --alswrv   4043    -1   \_ keyring: _uid.4043
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
	Session Keyring
	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: _ses
	1055658746 --alswrv   4043  4043   \_ user: a
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag hello
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
	Session Keyring
	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: hello
	340417692 --alswrv   4043  4043   \_ user: a

Where the test program creates a new session keyring, sticks a user key named
'a' into it and then installs it on its parent.

David Howells d0420c83f3 KEYS: Extend TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME to (almost) all architectures [try #6]
Implement TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME for most of those architectures in which isn't yet
available, and, whilst we're at it, have it call the appropriate tracehook.

After this patch, blackfin, m68k* and xtensa still lack support and need
alteration of assembly code to make it work.

Resume notification can then be used (by a later patch) to install a new
session keyring on the parent of a process.

Mikael Pettersson 369842658a ARM: 5677/1: ARM support for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK/pselect6/ppoll/epoll_pwait
This patch adds support for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK to ARM's
signal handling, which allows to hook up the pselect6, ppoll,
and epoll_pwait syscalls on ARM.

Tested here with eabi userspace and a test program with a
deliberate race between a child's exit and the parent's
sigprocmask/select sequence. Using sys_pselect6() instead
of sigprocmask/select reliably prevents the race.

The other arch's support for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK has evolved
over time:

In 2.6.16:
- add TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK which parallels TIF_SIGPENDING
- test both when checking for pending signal [changed later]
- reimplement sys_sigsuspend() to use current->saved_sigmask,
  TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK [changed later], and -ERESTARTNOHAND;
  ditto for sys_rt_sigsuspend(), but drop private code and
  use common code via __ARCH_WANT_SYS_RT_SIGSUSPEND;
- there are now no "extra" calls to do_signal() so its oldset
  parameter is always &current->blocked so need not be passed,
  also its return value is changed to void
- change handle_signal() to return 0/-errno
- change do_signal() to honor TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK:
  + get oldset from current->saved_sigmask if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
    is set
  + if handle_signal() was successful then clear TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
  + if no signal was delivered and TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is set then
    clear it and restore the sigmask
- hook up sys_pselect6() and sys_ppoll()

In 2.6.19:
- hook up sys_epoll_pwait()

In 2.6.26:
- allow archs to override how TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is implemented;
  default set_restore_sigmask() sets both TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK and
  TIF_SIGPENDING; archs need now just test TIF_SIGPENDING again
  when checking for pending signal work; some archs now implement
  TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK as a secondary/non-atomic thread flag bit
- call set_restore_sigmask() in sys_sigsuspend() instead of setting
  TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK

In 2.6.29-rc:
- kill sys_pselect7() which no arch wanted

So for 2.6.31-rc6/ARM this patch does the following:
- Add TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK. Use the generic set_restore_sigmask()
  which sets both TIF_SIGPENDING and TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK, so
  TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK need not claim one of the scarce low thread
  flags, and existing TIF_SIGPENDING and _TIF_WORK_MASK tests need
  not be extended for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK.
- sys_sigsuspend() is reimplemented to use current->saved_sigmask
  and set_restore_sigmask(), making it identical to most other archs
- The private code for sys_rt_sigsuspend() is removed, instead
  generic code supplies it via __ARCH_WANT_SYS_RT_SIGSUSPEND.
- sys_sigsuspend() and sys_rt_sigsuspend() no longer need a pt_regs
  parameter, so their assembly code wrappers are removed.
- handle_signal() is changed to return 0 on success or -errno.
- The oldset parameter to do_signal() is now redundant and removed,
  and the return value is now also redundant and changed to void.
- do_signal() is changed to honor TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK:
  + get oldset from current->saved_sigmask if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
    is set
  + if handle_signal() was successful then clear TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
  + if no signal was delivered and TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is set then
    clear it and restore the sigmask
- Hook up sys_pselect6, sys_ppoll, and sys_epoll_pwait.

Patch from Nicolas Pitre

The RESTARTBLOCK case currently store some code on the stack to invoke
sys_restart_syscall.  However this is ABI dependent and there is a
mismatch with the way __NR_restart_syscall gets defined when the kernel
is compiled for EABI.

There is also a long standing bug in the thumb case since with OABI the
__NR_restart_syscall value includes __NR_SYSCALL_BASE which should not
be the case for Thumb syscalls.

| We can kill them.  I checked with Phil B. about them last week, and he
| didn't remember any reason they still needed to be there.  And nothing
| should know where they are on the stack.  Unfortunately, doing this

| the new layout if you want to remove them.

So remove them.

Nicolas Pitre fcca538b83 [ARM] 3270/1: ARM EABI: fix sigreturn and rt_sigreturn
Patch from Nicolas Pitre

The signal return path consists of user code provided by the kernel.
Since a syscall is used, it has to be updated to work with EABI.

Noticed by Daniel Jacobowitz.

Daniel Jacobowitz a6c61e9dfd [ARM] 3168/1: Update ARM signal delivery and masking
Patch from Daniel Jacobowitz

After delivering a signal (creating its stack frame) we must check for
additional pending unblocked signals before returning to userspace.
Otherwise signals may be delayed past the next syscall or reschedule.

Once that was fixed it became obvious that the ARM signal mask manipulation
was broken.  It was a little bit broken before the recent SA_NODEFER
changes, and then very broken after them.  We must block the requested
signals before starting the handler or the same signal can be delivered
again before the handler even gets a chance to run.

Hugh Dickins 69b0475456 [PATCH] mm: arm ready for split ptlock
Prepare arm for the split page_table_lock: three issues.

Signal handling's preserve and restore of iwmmxt context currently involves
reading and writing that context to and from user space, while holding
page_table_lock to secure the user page(s) against kswapd.  If we split the
lock, then the structure might span two pages, secured by to read into and
write from a kernel stack buffer, copying that out and in without locking (the
structure is 160 bytes in size, and here we're near the top of the kernel
stack).  Or would the overhead be noticeable?

arm_syscall's cmpxchg emulation use pte_offset_map_lock, instead of
pte_offset_map and mm-wide page_table_lock; and strictly, it should now also
take mmap_sem before descending to pmd, to guard against another thread
munmapping, and the page table pulled out beneath this thread.

Updated two comments in fault-armv.c.  adjust_pte is interesting, since its
modification of a pte in one part of the mm depends on the lock held when
calling update_mmu_cache for a pte in some other part of that mm.  This can't
be done with a split page_table_lock (and we've already taken the lowest lock
in the hierarchy here): so we'll have to disable split on arm, unless
CONFIG_CPU_CACHE_VIPT to ensures adjust_pte never used.

Steven Rostedt 69be8f1896 [PATCH] convert signal handling of NODEFER to act like other Unix boxes.
It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is
not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it.  I've written a
program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had
several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes,
confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled.

The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows:

1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked.

2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is
still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_
NetBSD 2.0 *).

The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux:

1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of
sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this).

2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being
handled is not blocked.

The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to
the way most Unix boxes work.

Unix boxes that were tested:  DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU
3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX.

* NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The
main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like
Linux.  So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that
behaves differently here with #2.

Move the signal return code into the vector page instead of placing
it on the user mode stack, which will allow us to avoid flushing

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
