Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function

2019-01-04T02:57:57+00:00

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand. It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact. A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's just get this done once and for all. This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form. There were a couple of notable cases: - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias. - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing really used it) - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch. I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

microblaze: function_graph: Simplify with function_graph_enter()

2018-11-28T01:30:18+00:00

The function_graph_enter() function does the work of calling the function graph hook function and the management of the shadow stack, simplifying the work done in the architecture dependent prepare_ftrace_return(). Have microblaze use the new code, and remove the shadow stack management as well as having to set up the trace structure. This is needed to prepare for a fix of a design bug on how the curr_ret_stack is used.

microblaze: generate uapi header and system call table files

2018-11-16T07:24:34+00:00

System call table generation script must be run to gener- ate unistd_32.h and syscall_table.h files. This patch will have changes which will invokes the script. This patch will generate unistd_32.h and syscall_table.h files by the syscall table generation script invoked by microblaze/Makefile and the generated files against the removed files must be identical. The generated uapi header file will be included in uapi/- asm/unistd.h and generated system call table header file will be included by kernel/syscall_table.S file.

microblaze: add system call table generation support

2018-11-16T07:24:33+00:00

The system call tables are in different format in all architecture and it will be difficult to manually add, modify or delete the syscall table entries in the res- pective files. To make it easy by keeping a script and which will generate the uapi header and syscall table file. This change will also help to unify the implemen- tation across all architectures. The system call table generation script is added in kernel/syscalls directory which contain the scripts to generate both uapi header file and system call table files. The syscall.tbl will be input for the scripts. syscall.tbl contains the list of available system calls along with system call number and corresponding entry point. Add a new system call in this architecture will be possible by adding new entry in the syscall.tbl file. Adding a new table entry consisting of: - System call number. - ABI. - System call name. - Entry point name. syscallhdr.sh and syscalltbl.sh will generate uapi header unistd_32.h and syscall_table.h files respectively. Both .sh files will parse the content syscall.tbl to generate the header and table files. unistd_32.h will be included by uapi/asm/unistd.h and syscall_table.h is included by kernel/syscall_table.S - the real system call table. ARM, s390 and x86 architecuture does have similar support. I leverage their implementation to come up with a generic solution. Signed-off-by: Firoz Khan Signed-off-by: Michal Simek

The fixes from Johan didn't get into linux-next, but they've been waiting for some time now and they are what's left of what subsystem maintainers didn't pick up. Summary: - Sync dtc with upstream version v1.4.7-14-gc86da84d30e4 - Work to get rid of direct accesses to struct device_node name and type pointers in preparation for removing them. New helpers for parsing DT cpu nodes and conversions to use the helpers. printk conversions to %pOFn for printing DT node names. Most went thru subystem trees, so this is the remainder. - Fixes to DT child node lookups to actually be restricted to child nodes instead of treewide. - Refactoring of dtb targets out of arch code. This makes the support more uniform and enables building all dtbs on c6x, microblaze, and powerpc. - Various DT binding updates for Renesas r8a7744 SoC - Vendor prefixes for Facebook, OLPC - Restructuring of some ARM binding docs moving some peripheral bindings out of board/SoC binding files - New "secure-chosen" binding for secure world settings on ARM - Dual licensing of 2 DT IRQ binding headers" * tag 'devicetree-for-4.20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/robh/linux: (78 commits) ARM: dt: relicense two DT binding IRQ headers power: supply: twl4030-charger: fix OF sibling-node lookup NFC: nfcmrvl_uart: fix OF child-node lookup net: stmmac: dwmac-sun8i: fix OF child-node lookup net: bcmgenet: fix OF child-node lookup drm/msm: fix OF child-node lookup drm/mediatek: fix OF sibling-node lookup of: Add missing exports of node name compare functions dt-bindings: Add OLPC vendor prefix dt-bindings: misc: bk4: Add device tree binding for Liebherr's BK4 SPI bus dt-bindings: thermal: samsung: Add SPDX license identifier dt-bindings: clock: samsung: Add SPDX license identifiers dt-bindings: timer: ostm: Add R7S9210 support dt-bindings: phy: rcar-gen2: Add r8a7744 support dt-bindings: can: rcar_can: Add r8a7744 support dt-bindings: timer: renesas, cmt: Document r8a7744 CMT support dt-bindings: watchdog: renesas-wdt: Document r8a7744 support dt-bindings: thermal: rcar: Add device tree support for r8a7744 Documentation: dt: Add binding for /secure-chosen/stdout-path dt-bindings: arm: zte: Move sysctrl bindings to their own doc ...
