      arm64: ftrace: fix !CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS kernels · 8486e54d
      Mark Rutland authored
      When a kernel is built without CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS, we don't
      generate the expected branch instruction in ftrace_make_nop(). This
      means we pass zero (rather than a valid branch) to ftrace_modify_code()
      as the expected instruction to validate. This causes us to return
      -EINVAL to the core ftrace code for a valid case, resulting in a splat
      at boot time.
      
      This was an unintended effect of commit:
      
        68764420 ("arm64: ftrace: fix building without CONFIG_MODULES")
      
      ... which incorrectly moved the generation of the branch instruction
      into the ifdef for CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS.
      
      This patch fixes the issue by moving the ifdef inside of the relevant
      if-else case, and always checking that the branch is in range,
      regardless of CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS. This ensures that we generate
      the expected branch instruction, and also improves our sanity checks.
      
      For consistency, both ftrace_make_nop() and ftrace_make_call() are
      updated with this pattern.
      
      Fixes: 68764420 ("arm64: ftrace: fix building without CONFIG_MODULES")

      arm64: signal: Allow expansion of the signal frame · 33f08261
      Dave Martin authored
      This patch defines an extra_context signal frame record that can be
      used to describe an expanded signal frame, and modifies the context
      block allocator and signal frame setup and parsing code to create,
      populate, parse and decode this block as necessary.
      
      To avoid abuse by userspace, parse_user_sigframe() attempts to
      ensure that:
      
       * no more than one extra_context is accepted;
       * the extra context data is a sensible size, and properly placed
         and aligned.
      
      The extra_context data is required to start at the first 16-byte
      aligned address immediately after the dummy terminator record
      following extra_context in rt_sigframe.__reserved[] (as ensured
      during signal delivery).  This serves as a sanity-check that the
      signal frame has not been moved or copied without taking the extra
      data into account.

      Merge branch 'uuid-types' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/uuid into aarch64/for-next/ras-apei · dd19802f
      Will Deacon authored
      Pull in uuid-types branch from Christoph, since this conflicts heavily
      with the ACPI/APEI RAS work from Tyler Baicer and was created as an
      immutable branch to avoid conflicts with ACPI development.

      arm64: pass machine size to sparse · f5d28490
      Luc Van Oostenryck authored
      When using sparse on the arm64 tree we get many thousands of
      warnings like 'constant ... is so big it is unsigned long long'
      or 'shift too big (32) for type unsigned long'. This happens
      because by default sparse considers the machine as 32bit and
      defines the size of the types accordingly.
      
      Fix this by passing the '-m64' flag to sparse so that
      sparse can correctly define longs as being 64bit.

      arm64: signal: factor out signal frame record allocation · bb4322f7
      Dave Martin authored
      This patch factors out the allocator for signal frame optional
      records into a separate function, to ensure consistency and
      facilitate later expansion.
      
      No overrun checking is currently done, because the allocation is in
      user memory and anyway the kernel never tries to allocate enough
      space in the signal frame yet for an overrun to occur.  This
      behaviour will be refined in future patches.
      
      The approach taken in this patch to allocation of the terminator
      record is not very clean: this will also be replaced in subsequent
      patches.
      
      For future extension, a comment is added in sigcontext.h
      documenting the current static allocations in __reserved[].  This
      will be important for determining under what circumstances
      userspace may or may not see an expanded signal frame.
