17 years agox86 - 32-bit ptrace emulation mishandles 6th arg

x86 - 32-bit ptrace emulation mishandles 6th arg

[ jdike - Pushing Chuck's patch - see
http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/9/16/261 for some history and a test
program.  UML is also broken without this patch - its processes get
SIGBUS from the corrupt 6th argument to mmap being interpretted as a
file offset ]

When the 32-bit vDSO is used to make a system call, the %ebp register for
the 6th syscall arg has to be loaded from the user stack (where it's pushed
by the vDSO user code).  The native i386 kernel always does this before
stopping for syscall tracing, so %ebp can be seen and modified via ptrace
to access the 6th syscall argument.  The x86-64 kernel fails to do this,
presenting the stack address to ptrace instead.  This makes the %rbp value
seen by 64-bit ptrace of a 32-bit process, and the %ebp value seen by a
32-bit caller of ptrace, both differ from the native i386 behavior.

This patch fixes the problem by putting the word loaded from the user stack
into %rbp before calling syscall_trace_enter, and reloading the 6th syscall
argument from there afterwards (so ptrace can change it).  This makes the
behavior match that of i386 kernels.

The addr argument to PTRACE_GET_THREAD_AREA and PTRACE_SET_THREAD_AREA is

The value does not need to match what a native i386 kernel would accept.

17 years ago[FUTEX] Fix address computation in compat code.
David Miller [Wed, 7 Nov 2007 05:13:56 +0000 (21:13 -0800)]
[FUTEX] Fix address computation in compat code.

compat_exit_robust_list() computes a pointer to the
futex entry in userspace as follows:

(void __user *)entry + futex_offset

'entry' is a 'struct robust_list __user *', and
'futex_offset' is a 'compat_long_t' (typically a 's32').

Things explode if the 32-bit sign bit is set in futex_offset.

Type promotion sign extends futex_offset to a 64-bit value before
adding it to 'entry'.

This triggered a problem on sparc64 running 32-bit applications which
would lock up a cpu looping forever in the fault handling for the
userspace load in handle_futex_death().

Compat userspace runs with address masking (wherein the cpu zeros out
the top 32-bits of every effective address given to a memory operation
instruction) so the sparc64 fault handler accounts for this by
zero'ing out the top 32-bits of the fault address too.

Since the kernel properly uses the compat_uptr interfaces, kernel side
accesses to compat userspace work too since they will only use
addresses with the top 32-bit clear.

Because of this compat futex layer bug we get into the following loop
when executing the get_user() load near the top of handle_futex_death():

1) load from address '0xfffffffff7f16bd8', FAULT
2) fault handler clears upper 32-bits, processes fault
   for address '0xf7f16bd8' which succeeds
3) goto #1

I want to thank Bernd Zeimetz, Josip Rodin, and Fabio Massimo Di Nitto
for their tireless efforts helping me track down this bug.

17 years agosched: fix copy_namespace() <-> sched_fork() dependency in do_fork
Srivatsa Vaddagiri [Fri, 9 Nov 2007 21:39:39 +0000 (22:39 +0100)]
sched: fix copy_namespace() <-> sched_fork() dependency in do_fork

Sukadev Bhattiprolu reported a kernel crash with control groups.
There are couple of problems discovered by Suka's test:

- The test requires the cgroup filesystem to be mounted with
  atleast the cpu and ns options (i.e both namespace and cpu
  controllers are active in the same hierarchy).

# mkdir /dev/cpuctl
# mount -t cgroup -ocpu,ns none cpuctl
(or simply)
# mount -t cgroup none cpuctl -> Will activate all controllers
 in same hierarchy.

- The test invokes clone() with CLONE_NEWNS set. This causes a a new child
  to be created, also a new group (do_fork->copy_namespaces->ns_cgroup_clone->
  cgroup_clone) and the child is attached to the new group (cgroup_clone->
  attach_task->sched_move_task). At this point in time, the child's scheduler
  related fields are uninitialized (including its on_rq field, which it has
  inherited from parent). As a result sched_move_task thinks its on
  runqueue, when it isn't.

  As a solution to this problem, I moved sched_fork() call, which
  initializes scheduler related fields on a new task, before
  copy_namespaces(). I am not sure though whether moving up will
  cause other side-effects. Do you see any issue?

- The second problem exposed by this test is that task_new_fair()
  assumes that parent and child will be part of the same group (which
  needn't be as this test shows). As a result, cfs_rq->curr can be NULL
  for the child.

  The solution is to test for curr pointer being NULL in
  task_new_fair().

With the patch below, I could run ns_exec() fine w/o a crash.

sched: restore deterministic CPU accounting on powerpc

Since powerpc started using CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, the
deterministic CPU accounting (CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING) has been
broken on powerpc, because we end up counting user time twice: once in
timer_interrupt() and once in update_process_times().

This fixes the problem by pulling the code in update_process_times
that updates utime and stime into a separate function called
account_process_tick.  If CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is not defined,
there is a version of account_process_tick in kernel/timer.c that
simply accounts a whole tick to either utime or stime as before.  If
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is defined, then arch code gets to
implement account_process_tick.

This also lets us simplify the s390 code a bit; it means that the s390
timer interrupt can now call update_process_times even when
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is turned on, and can just implement a
suitable account_process_tick().

account_process_tick() now takes the task_struct * as an argument.

17 years agolibata: port and host should be stopped before hardware resources are released

libata: port and host should be stopped before hardware resources are released

Port / host stop calls used to be made from ata_host_release() which
is called after all hardware resources acquired after host allocation
are released.  This is wrong as port and host stop routines often
access the hardware.

Add separate devres for port / host stop which is invoked right after
IRQ is released but with all other hardware resources intact.  The
devres is added iff ->host_stop and/or ->port_stop exist.

This problem has been spotted by Mark Lord.

libata: skip 0xff polling for PATA controllers

In a presentation of true workmanship, pata_ali asserts IRQ
permanantly if the TF status register is read more than once when
there's no device attached to the port.

Avoid waiting polling for !0xff if it's PATA.  It's needed only for
some rare SATA devices anyway.

This problem is reported by Luca Tettamanti in bugzilla bug 9298.

libata: pata_platform: Support polling-mode configuration.

Some SH boards (old R2D-1 boards) have generally not had working CF
under libata, due to both buswidth issues (handled by Aoi Shinkai
in 43f4b8c7578b928892b6f01d374346ae14e5eb70), and buggy interrupt
controllers. For these sorts of boards simply disabling the IRQ and
polling ends up working fine.

This conditionalizes the IRQ resource for pata_platform and lets
platforms that want to use polling mode simply omit the resource
entirely.

Paul Mundt [Thu, 8 Nov 2007 02:14:56 +0000 (11:14 +0900)]
libata: Support PIO polling-only hosts.

By default ata_host_activate() expects a valid IRQ in order to
successfully register the host. This patch enables a special case
for registering polling-only hosts that either don't have IRQs
or have buggy IRQ generation (either in terms of handling or
sensing), which otherwise work fine.

Hosts that want to use polling mode can simply set ATA_FLAG_PIO_POLLING
and pass in an invalid IRQ.
