delay the CPA self-test so that any impact (corruption) of user-space pagetables can be triggered. Repeat the test every 30 seconds. this would have prevented the bug fixed by 8cb2a7c1, at its source. Signed-off-by:

The .rodata section really should just be read only; the config option is there to make breaking up the 2Mb page an option (so people whos machines give more performance for the 2Mb case can opt to do so). But when the page gets split anyway, this is no longer an issue, so clean up the code and remove the ifdefs Signed-off-by:

The .rodata section shouldn't just be read-only, but also non-executable. This is free since we've broken up the 2MB page already anyway. also update test_nx to check for this. Signed-off-by:

This change broke recovery of exceptions in iret: commit 72fe4858 Author: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> x86: replace privileged instructions with paravirt macros The ENTRY(native_iret) macro adds alignment padding before the iretq instruction, so "iret_label" no longer points exactly at the instruction. It was sloppy to leave the old "iret_label" label behind when replacing its nearby use. Removing it would have revealed the other use of the label later in the file, and upon noticing that use, anyone exercising the minimum of attention to detail expected of anyone touching this subtle code would realize it needed to change as well.

This was being used to ensure the proper alignment of the FXSAVE/FXRSTOR data. This would create a sparse error in the _correct_ cases, hiding further warnings. Use BUILD_BUG_ON instead. Signed-off-by:

In my revamp of the x86 ptrace code for setting register values, I accidentally omitted a check that was there in the old code. Allowing %cs to be 0 causes a bad crash in recovery from iret failure. This patch fixes that regression against 2.6.24, and adds a comment that should help prevent this subtlety from being overlooked again. Signed-off-by:

based on similar patch from: Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz> Introduce CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK. If disabled then the kernel is free (but not obliged to) randomize the brk area. Heap randomization breaks ancient binaries, so we keep COMPAT_BRK enabled by default. Signed-off-by: -
Jiri Kosina authored
There is a check in sys_brk(), that tries to make sure that we do not underflow the area that is dedicated to brk heap. The check is however wrong, as it assumes that brk area starts immediately after the end of the code (+bss), which is wrong for example in environments with randomized brk start. The proper way is to check whether the address is not below the start_brk address. Signed-off-by:

With the spurious handler fix, the X2 does not lock up anymore. Signed-off-by: -
Thomas Gleixner authored
In very rare cases, on certain CPUs, we could end up in the spurious fault handler and ignore a large pud/pmd mapping. The resulting pte pointer points into the mapped physical space and dereferencing it will fault recursively. Make the code aware of large mappings and do the permission check on the pmd/pud entry, when a large pud/pmd mapping is detected. Signed-off-by:

Unify the x86-64 behavior for 32-bit processes that set bogus %cs/%ss values (the only ones that can fault in iret) match what the native i386 behavior is. (do not kill the task via do_exit but generate a SIGSEGV signal) [ tglx@linutronix.de: build fix ] Signed-off-by:

Teach the debug logging macro to differentiate between log levels based on the type of debug level enabled specifically instead of a threshold-based one. Thus, convert tape->debug_level to a bitmask that is written to over /proc. Also, - cleanup and simplify the debug macro thus removing a lot of code lines, - get rid of unused debug levels, - adjust the loglevel at several places where it was simply missing (e.g. idetape_chrdev_open()) - move the tape ptr initialization up in idetape_chrdev_open() so that we can use it in the debug_log macro earlier in the function.
