* ARM: 6892/1: handle ptrace requests to change PC during interrupted system callsArnd Bergmann2011-05-121-37/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | GDB's interrupt.exp test cases currenly fail on ARM. The problem is how do_signal handled restarting interrupted system calls: The entry.S assembler code determines that we come from a system call; and that information is passed as "syscall" parameter to do_signal. That routine then calls get_signal_to_deliver [*] and if a signal is to be delivered, calls into handle_signal. If a system call is to be restarted either after the signal handler returns, or if no handler is to be called in the first place, the PC is updated after the get_signal_to_deliver call, either in handle_signal (if we have a handler) or at the end of do_signal (otherwise). Now the problem is that during [*], the call to get_signal_to_deliver, a ptrace intercept may happen. During this intercept, the debugger may change registers, including the PC. This is done by GDB if it wants to execute an "inferior call", i.e. the execution of some code in the debugged program triggered by GDB. To this purpose, GDB will save all registers, allocate a stack frame, set up PC and arguments as appropriate for the call, and point the link register to a dummy breakpoint instruction. Once the process is restarted, it will execute the call and then trap back to the debugger, at which point GDB will restore all registers and continue original execution. This generally works fine. However, now consider what happens when GDB attempts to do exactly that while the process was interrupted during execution of a to-be- restarted system call: do_signal is called with the syscall flag set; it calls get_signal_to_deliver, at which point the debugger takes over and changes the PC to point to a completely different place. Now get_signal_to_deliver returns without a signal to deliver; but now do_signal decides it should be restarting a system call, and decrements the PC by 2 or 4 -- so it now points to 2 or 4 bytes before the function GDB wants to call -- which leads to a subsequent crash. To fix this problem, two things need to be supported: - do_signal must be able to recognize that get_signal_to_deliver changed the PC to a different location, and skip the restart-syscall sequence - once the debugger has restored all registers at the end of the inferior call sequence, do_signal must recognize that *now* it needs to restart the pending system call, even though it was now entered from a breakpoint instead of an actual svc instruction This set of issues is solved on other platforms, usually by one of two mechanisms: - The status information "do_signal is handling a system call that may need restarting" is itself carried in some register that can be accessed via ptrace. This is e.g. on Intel the "orig_eax" register; on Sparc the kernel defines a magic extra bit in the flags register for this purpose. This allows GDB to manage that state: reset it when doing an inferior call, and restore it after the call is finished. - On s390, do_signal transparently handles this problem without requiring GDB interaction, by performing system call restarting in the following way: first, adjust the PC as necessary for restarting the call. Then, call get_signal_to_deliver; and finally just continue execution at the PC. This way, if GDB does not change the PC, everything is as before. If GDB *does* change the PC, execution will simply continue there -- and once GDB restores the PC it saved at that point, it will automatically point to the *restarted* system call. (There is the minor twist how to handle system calls that do *not* need restarting -- do_signal will undo the PC change in this case, after get_signal_to_deliver has returned, and only if ptrace did not change the PC during that call.) Because there does not appear to be any obvious register to carry the syscall-restart information on ARM, we'd either have to introduce a new artificial ptrace register just for that purpose, or else handle the issue transparently like on s390. The patch below implements the second option; using this patch makes the interrupt.exp test cases pass on ARM, with no regression in the GDB test suite otherwise.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PTRACE_SINGLESTEP is a ptrace request designed to offer single-stepping support to userspace when the underlying architecture has hardware support for this operation. On ARM, we set arch_has_single_step() to 1 and attempt to emulate hardware single-stepping by disassembling the current instruction to determine the next pc and placing a software breakpoint on that location. Unfortunately this has the following problems: 1.) Only a subset of ARMv7 instructions are supported 2.) Thumb-2 is unsupported 3.) The code is not SMP safe We could try to fix this code, but it turns out that because of the above issues it is rarely used in practice. GDB, for example, uses PTRACE_POKETEXT and PTRACE_PEEKTEXT to manage breakpoints itself and does not require any kernel assistance. This patch removes the single-step emulation code from ptrace meaning that the PTRACE_SINGLESTEP request will return -EIO on ARM. Portable code must check the return value from a ptrace call and handle the failure gracefully.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* | | KEYS: Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring on its parent [try #6]David Howells2009-09-021-0/+2

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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch from Daniel Jacobowitz In order for userspace to find saved coprocessor registers, move them from struct rt_sigframe into struct ucontext. Also allow space for glibc's sigset_t, so that userspace and kernelspace can use the same ucontext layout. Define the magic numbers for iWMMXt in the header file for easier reference. Include the size of the coprocessor data in the magic numbers. Also define magic numbers and layout for VFP, not yet saved.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | GDB couldn't reliably tell the difference between the old and new non-rt sigframes, so provide it with a number at the beginning which will never appear in the old sigframe, and hence provide gdb with a reliable way to tell the two apart.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sigframe is now a contained subset of rt_sigframe, so we can start to re-use code which accesses sigframe data for both rt and non-rt signals. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
| * [ARM] Merge sigcontext and sigmask members of sigframeRussell King2006-06-181-6/+5

| * [ARM] Replace extramask with a full copy of the sigmaskRussell King2006-06-181-10/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's not much point in splitting the sigmask between two different locations, so copy it entirely into a proper sigset_t. This will eventually allow rt_sigframe and sigframe to share more code. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
| * [ARM] Remove rt_sigframe puc and pinfo pointersRussell King2006-06-181-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These two members appear to be surplus to requirements. Discussing this issue with glibc folk: | > Additionally, do you see any need for these weird "puc" and "pinfo" | > pointers in the kernels rt_sigframe structure? Can we kill them? | | 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 | will upset GDB, which knows that the saved registers are 0x88 bytes | above the stack pointer on entrance to an rt signal trampoline; but, | since puc and pinfo are quite recognizable, I can adapt GDB to support | the new layout if you want to remove them. So remove them. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

* | [ARM] 3626/1: ARM EABI: fix syscall restartingNicolas Pitre2006-06-221-2/+19
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [ARM] 3168/1: Update ARM signal delivery and maskingDaniel Jacobowitz2005-11-191-13/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [PATCH] mm: arm ready for split ptlockHugh Dickins2005-10-291-78/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [PATCH] convert signal handling of NODEFER to act like other Unix boxes.Steven Rostedt2005-08-291-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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!
