* sparc64: do not clobber personality flags in sys_sparc64_personality()Jiri Kosina2012-08-021-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are multiple errors in how sys_sparc64_personality() handles personality flags stored in top three bytes. - directly comparing current->personality against PER_LINUX32 doesn't work in cases when any of the personality flags stored in the top three bytes are used. - directly forcefully setting personality to PER_LINUX32 or PER_LINUX discards any flags stored in the top three bytes Fix the first one by properly using personality() macro to compare only PER_MASK bytes. Fix the second one by setting only the bits that should be set, instead of overwriting the whole value. Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: David S.

* ipc: add COMPAT_SHMLBA supportWill Deacon2012-07-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the SHMLBA definition for a native task differs from the definition for a compat task, the do_shmat() function would need to handle both. This patch introduces COMPAT_SHMLBA, which is used by the compat shmat syscall when calling the ipc code and allows architectures such as AArch64 (where the native SHMLBA is 64k but the compat (AArch32) definition is 16k) to provide the correct semantics for compat IPC system calls.

* powerpc+sparc64/mm: Remove hack in mmap randomize layoutDan McGee2011-11-281-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit 8a0a9bd4db63bc45e301, this comment in mmap_rnd() does not hold true as the value returned by get_random_int() will in fact be different every single call. Remove the comment and simplify the code back to its original desired form. This reverts commit a5adc91a4b44b5d1 which is no longer necessary and also fixes the sparc code that copied this same adjustment. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dpmcgee@gmail.com> Acked-by: David S.

* sparc64: Sharpen address space randomization calculations.David S. Miller2011-03-161-8/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A recent patch to the x86 randomization code caused me to take a quick look at what we do on sparc64, and in doing so I noticed that we sometimes calculate a non-page-aligned randomization value and stick it into mmap_base. I also noticed that since I copied the logic over from PowerPC, the powerpc code has tweaked the randomization ranges in ways that would benefit us as well. For one thing, we should allow up to at least 8MB of randomization otherwise huge-page regions when HPAGE_SIZE is 4MB never randomize at all. And on the 64-bit side we were using up to 4GB. Tone it down to 1GB as 4GB can result in a lot of address space wastage. Finally, make sure all computations are unsigned. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* Make do_execve() take a const filename pointerDavid Howells2010-08-171-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* improve sys_newuname() for compat architecturesChristoph Hellwig2010-03-121-11/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On an architecture that supports 32-bit compat we need to override the reported machine in uname with the 32-bit value. Instead of doing this separately in every architecture introduce a COMPAT_UTS_MACHINE define in <asm/compat.h> and apply it directly in sys_newuname().

* Add generic sys_ipc wrapperChristoph Hellwig2010-03-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a generic implementation of the ipc demultiplexer syscall. Except for s390 and sparc64 all implementations of the sys_ipc are nearly identical. There are slight differences in the types of the parameters, where mips and powerpc as the only 64-bit architectures with sys_ipc use unsigned long for the "third" argument as it gets casted to a pointer later, while it traditionally is an "int" like most other paramters. frv goes even further and uses unsigned long for all parameters execept for "ptr" which is a pointer type everywhere. The change from int to unsigned long for "third" and back to "int" for the others on frv should be fine due to the in-register calling conventions for syscalls (we already had a similar issue with the generic sys_ptrace), but I'd prefer to have the arch maintainers looks over this in details. Except for that h8300, m68k and m68knommu lack an impplementation of the semtimedop sub call which this patch adds, and various architectures have gets used - at least on i386 it seems superflous as the compat code on x86-64 and ia64 doesn't even bother to implement it.
