Richard Weinberger 1b2411c283 um: Simplify STUB_DATA loading
As long STUB_DATA fits into 32bits we can use a plain mov.
If it will grow at some point in future we will switch to movabsq.
In any case the code is smaller and more easy to read
than the current one

Linus Torvalds a75a3f6fc9 Merge branch 'x86-asm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 asm changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main change in this cycle is another step in the big x86 system
  call interface rework by Andy Lutomirski, which moves most of the low
  level x86 entry code from assembly to C, for all syscall entries
  except native 64-bit system calls:

    arch/x86/entry/entry_32.S        | 182 ++++------
    arch/x86/entry/entry_64_compat.S | 547 ++++++++-----------------------
    194 insertions(+), 535 deletions(-)

  ... our hope is that the final remaining step (converting native
  64-bit system calls) will be less painful as all the previous steps,
  given that most of the legacies and quirks are concentrated around
  native 32-bit and compat environments"

Hans-Werner Hilse 37e81a016c um: Do not rely on libc to provide modify_ldt()
modify_ldt() was declared as an external symbol. Despite the man
page for this syscall telling that there is no wrapper in glibc,
since version 2.1 there actually is, so linking to the glibc
works.

Since modify_ldt() is not a POSIX interface, other libc
implementations do not always provide a wrapper function.
Even glibc headers do not provide a corresponding declaration.

So go the recommended way to call this using syscall().

These are all calling x86 entry code functions, so move them close

Change lib-y to obj-y: there's no real difference between the two
as we don't really drop any of them during the linking stage, and
obj-y is the more common approach for core kernel object code.

Andrey Ryabinin fc9bea0e28 x86, UML: fix integer overflow in ELF_ET_DYN_BASE
Almost all arches define ELF_ET_DYN_BASE as 2/3 of TASK_SIZE.
Though it seems that some architectures do this in a wrong way.
The problem is that 2*TASK_SIZE may overflow 32-bits so
the real ELF_ET_DYN_BASE becomes wrong.
Fix this overflow by dividing TASK_SIZE prior to multiplying:
	(TASK_SIZE / 3 * 2)

default since 2005, SKAS3/4 is obsolete and can be removed.

Andy Lutomirski f56141e3e2 all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct
If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target.  This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.

Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.

Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.

It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

Daniel Borkmann b485342bd7 x86, um: actually mark system call tables readonly
Commit a074335a37 ("x86, um: Mark system call tables readonly") was
supposed to mark the sys_call_table in UML as RO by adding the const,
but it doesn't have the desired effect as it's nevertheless being placed
into the data section since __cacheline_aligned enforces sys_call_table
being placed into .data..cacheline_aligned instead. We need to use
the ____cacheline_aligned version instead to fix this issue.

Before:

$ nm -v arch/x86/um/sys_call_table_64.o | grep -1 "sys_call_table"
                 U sys_writev
0000000000000000 D sys_call_table
0000000000000000 D syscall_table_size

After:

$ nm -v arch/x86/um/sys_call_table_64.o | grep -1 "sys_call_table"
                 U sys_writev
0000000000000000 R sys_call_table

Alexander Duyck 1077fa36f2 arch: Add lightweight memory barriers dma_rmb() and dma_wmb()
There are a number of situations where the mandatory barriers rmb() and
wmb() are used to order memory/memory operations in the device drivers
and those barriers are much heavier than they actually need to be.  For
example in the case of PowerPC wmb() calls the heavy-weight sync
instruction when for coherent memory operations all that is really needed
is an lsync or eieio instruction.

This commit adds a coherent only version of the mandatory memory barriers
rmb() and wmb().  In most cases this should result in the barrier being the
same as the SMP barriers for the SMP case, however in some cases we use a
barrier that is somewhere in between rmb() and smp_rmb().  For example on
ARM the rmb barriers break down as follows:

  Barrier   Call     Explanation
  --------- -------- ----------------------------------
  rmb()     dsb()    Data synchronization barrier - system
  dma_rmb() dmb(osh) data memory barrier - outer sharable
  smp_rmb() dmb(ish) data memory barrier - inner sharable

These new barriers are not as safe as the standard rmb() and wmb().
Specifically they do not guarantee ordering between coherent and incoherent
memories.  The primary use case for these would be to enforce ordering of
reads and writes when accessing coherent memory that is shared between the
CPU and a device.

It may also be noted that there is no dma_mb().  Most architectures don't
provide a good mechanism for performing a coherent only full barrier without
resorting to the same mechanism used in mb().  As such there isn't much to
be gained in trying to define such a function.

Alexander Duyck 8a44971841 arch: Cleanup read_barrier_depends() and comments
This patch is meant to cleanup the handling of read_barrier_depends and
smp_read_barrier_depends.  In multiple spots in the kernel headers
read_barrier_depends is defined as "do {} while (0)", however we then go
into the SMP vs non-SMP sections and have the SMP version reference
read_barrier_depends, and the non-SMP define it as yet another empty
do/while.

With this commit I went through and cleaned out the duplicate definitions
and reduced the number of definitions down to 2 per header.  In addition I
moved the 50 line comments for the macro from the x86 and mips headers that
defined it as an empty do/while to those that were actually defining the
macro, alpha and blackfin.

Linus Torvalds ab074ade9c Merge git://git.infradead.org/users/eparis/audit
Pull audit updates from Eric Paris:
 "So this change across a whole bunch of arches really solves one basic
  problem.  We want to audit when seccomp is killing a process.  seccomp
  hooks in before the audit syscall entry code.  audit_syscall_entry
  took as an argument the arch of the given syscall.  Since the arch is
  part of what makes a syscall number meaningful it's an important part
  of the record, but it isn't available when seccomp shoots the
  syscall...

  For most arch's we have a better way to get the arch (syscall_get_arch)
  So the solution was two fold: Implement syscall_get_arch() everywhere
  there is audit which didn't have it.  Use syscall_get_arch() in the
  seccomp audit code.  Having syscall_get_arch() everywhere meant it was
  a useless flag on the stack and we could get rid of it for the typical
  syscall entry.

  The other changes inside the audit system aren't grand, fixed some
  records that had invalid spaces.  Better locking around the task comm
  field.  Removing some dead functions and structs.  Make some things
  static.  Really minor stuff"

Andy Lutomirski a6c19dfe39 arm64,ia64,ppc,s390,sh,tile,um,x86,mm: remove default gate area
The core mm code will provide a default gate area based on
FIXADDR_USER_START and FIXADDR_USER_END if
!defined(__HAVE_ARCH_GATE_AREA) && defined(AT_SYSINFO_EHDR).

This default is only useful for ia64.  arm64, ppc, s390, sh, tile, 64-bit
UML, and x86_32 have their own code just to disable it.  arm, 32-bit UML,
and x86_64 have gate areas, but they have their own implementations.

This gets rid of the default and moves the code into ia64.

This should save some code on architectures without a gate area: it's now
possible to inline the gate_area functions in the default case.

Davidlohr Bueso 3a6bfbc91d arch, locking: Ciao arch_mutex_cpu_relax()
The arch_mutex_cpu_relax() function, introduced by 34b133f, is
hacky and ugly. It was added a few years ago to address the fact
that common cpu_relax() calls include yielding on s390, and thus
impact the optimistic spinning functionality of mutexes. Nowadays
we use this function well beyond mutexes: rwsem, qrwlock, mcs and
lockref. Since the macro that defines the call is in the mutex header,
any users must include mutex.h and the naming is misleading as well.

This patch (i) renames the call to cpu_relax_lowlatency  ("relax, but
only if you can do it with very low latency") and (ii) defines it in
each arch's asm/processor.h local header, just like for regular cpu_relax
functions. On all archs, except s390, cpu_relax_lowlatency is simply cpu_relax,
and thus we can take it out of mutex.h. While this can seem redundant,
I believe it is a good choice as it allows us to move out arch specific
logic from generic locking primitives and enables future(?) archs to
transparently define it, similarly to System Z.
