treewide: Switch printk users from %pf and %pF to %ps and %pS, respectively

2019-04-09T12:19:06+00:00

%pF and %pf are functionally equivalent to %pS and %ps conversion specifiers. The former are deprecated, therefore switch the current users to use the preferred variant. The changes have been produced by the following command: git grep -l '%p[fF]' | grep -v '^$tools\|Documentation$/' | \ while read i; do perl -i -pe 's/%pf/%ps/g; s/%pF/%pS/g;' $i; done And verifying the result.

signal: Ensure every siginfo we send has all bits initialized

2018-04-25T15:40:51+00:00

Call clear_siginfo to ensure every stack allocated siginfo is properly initialized before being passed to the signal sending functions. Note: It is not safe to depend on C initializers to initialize struct siginfo on the stack because C is allowed to skip holes when initializing a structure. The initialization of struct siginfo in tracehook_report_syscall_exit was moved from the helper user_single_step_siginfo into tracehook_report_syscall_exit itself, to make it clear that the local variable siginfo gets fully initialized. In a few cases the scope of struct siginfo has been reduced to make it clear that siginfo siginfo is not used on other paths in the function in which it is declared. Instances of using memset to initialize siginfo have been replaced with calls clear_siginfo for clarity. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman"

sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to

2017-03-02T07:42:34+00:00

We are going to split out of , which will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files. Create a trivial placeholder file that just maps to to make this patch obviously correct and bisectable. Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

uaccess: reimplement probe_kernel_address() using probe_kernel_read()

2015-11-06T03:34:48+00:00

probe_kernel_address() is basically the same as the (later added) probe_kernel_read(). The return value on EFAULT is a bit different: probe_kernel_address() returns number-of-bytes-not-copied whereas probe_kernel_read() returns -EFAULT. All callers have been checked, none cared. probe_kernel_read() can be overridden by the architecture whereas probe_kernel_address() cannot. parisc, blackfin and um do this, to insert additional checking. Hence this patch possibly fixes obscure bugs, although there are only two probe_kernel_address() callsites outside arch/. My first attempt involved removing probe_kernel_address() entirely and converting all callsites to use probe_kernel_read() directly, but that got tiresome. This patch shrinks mm/slab_common.o by 218 bytes. For a single probe_kernel_address() callsite. Cc: Steven Miao Cc: Jeff Dike Cc: Richard Weinberger Cc: "James E.J.

ARM: alignment: fix alignment handling for uaccess changes

ARM: 8322/1: keep .text and .fixup regions closer together

2015-03-29T22:11:56+00:00

This moves all fixup snippets to the .text.fixup section, which is a special section that gets emitted along with the .text section for each input object file, i.e., the snippets are kept much closer to the code they refer to, which helps prevent linker failure on large kernels.

ARM: convert printk(KERN_* to pr_*

2014-11-21T15:24:50+00:00

Convert many (but not all) printk(KERN_* to pr_* to simplify the code. We take the opportunity to join some printk lines together so we don't split the message across several lines, and we also add a few levels to some messages which were previously missing them.

ARM: 8165/1: alignment: don't break misaligned NEON load/store

2014-09-25T14:32:57+00:00

The alignment fixup incorrectly decodes faulting ARM VLDn/VSTn instructions (where the optional alignment hint is given but incorrect) as LDR/STR, leading to register corruption. Detect these and correctly treat them as unhandled, so that userspace gets the fault it expects. Reported-by: Simon Hosie Signed-off-by: Robin Murphy Cc: Signed-off-by: Russell King
