sched: Add wrapper for get_wchan() to keep task blocked

2021-10-15T09:25:14+00:00

Having a stable wchan means the process must be blocked and for it to stay that way while performing stack unwinding.

ARM: smp: Store current pointer in TPIDRURO register if available

2021-09-27T14:54:02+00:00

Now that the user space TLS register is assigned on every return to user space, we can use it to keep the 'current' pointer while running in the kernel. This removes the need to access it via thread_info, which is located at the base of the stack, but will be moved out of there in a subsequent patch. Use the __builtin_thread_pointer() helper when available - this will help GCC understand that reloading the value within the same function is not necessary, even when using the per-task stack protector (which also generates accesses via the TLS register). For example, the generated code below loads TPIDRURO only once, and uses it to access both the stack canary and the preempt_count fields. : e92d 41f0 stmdb sp!, {r4, r5, r6, r7, r8, lr} ee1d 4f70 mrc 15, 0, r4, cr13, cr0, {3} 4606 mov r6, r0 b094 sub sp, #80 ; 0x50 f8d4 34e8 ldr.w r3, [r4, #1256] ; 0x4e8 <- stack canary 9313 str r3, [sp, #76] ; 0x4c f8d4 8004 ldr.w r8, [r4, #4] <- preempt count Co-developed-by: Keith Packard Signed-off-by: Keith Packard Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel Reviewed-by: Linus Walleij Tested-by: Amit Daniel Kachhap

gcc-plugins: arm-ssp: Prepare for THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK support

2021-09-27T14:54:01+00:00

We will be enabling THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK support for ARM, which means that we can no longer load the stack canary value by masking the stack pointer and taking the copy that lives in thread_info. Instead, we will be able to load it from the task_struct directly, by using the TPIDRURO register which will hold the current task pointer when THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is in effect. This is much more straight-forward, and allows us to declutter this code a bit while at it. Note that this means that ARMv6 (non-v6K) SMP systems can no longer use this feature, but those are quite rare to begin with, so this is a reasonable trade off.

ARM: 9113/1: uaccess: remove set_fs() implementation

2021-08-20T10:39:27+00:00

There are no remaining callers of set_fs(), so just remove it along with all associated code that operates on thread_info->addr_limit. There are still further optimizations that can be done: - In get_user(), the address check could be moved entirely into the out of line code, rather than passing a constant as an argument, - I assume the DACR handling can be simplified as we now only change it during user access when CONFIG_CPU_SW_DOMAIN_PAN is set, but not during set_fs().

arm: print alloc free paths for address in registers

2021-05-07T07:26:34+00:00

In case of a use after free kernel oops, the freeing path of the object is required to debug futher. In most of cases the object address is present in one of the registers. Thus check the register's address and if it belongs to slab, print its alloc and free path. e.g. in the below issue register r6 belongs to slab, and a use after free issue occurred on one of its dereferenced values: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 6b6b6b6f .... pc : [] lr : [] psr: 60000013 sp : c8927d40 ip : ffffefff fp : c8aa8020 r10: c8927e10 r9 : 00000001 r8 : 00400cc0 r7 : 00000000 r6 : c8ab0180 r5 : c1804a80 r4 : c8aa8008 r3 : c1a5661c r2 : 00000000 r1 : 6b6b6b6b r0 : c139bf48 .....
