2012-06-01powerpc: get rid of restore_sigmask()Al Viro
... it's just a call of set_current_blocked() now Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2012-06-01most of set_current_blocked() callers want SIGKILL/SIGSTOP removed from setAl Viro
Only 3 out of 63 do not. Renamed the current variant to __set_current_blocked(), added set_current_blocked() that will exclude unblockable signals, switched open-coded instances to it. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2012-02-22powerpc: Fix various issues with return to userspaceBenjamin Herrenschmidt
We have a few problems when returning to userspace. This is a quick set of fixes for 3.3, I'll look into a more comprehensive rework for 3.4. This fixes: - We kept interrupts soft-disabled when schedule'ing or calling do_signal when returning to userspace as a result of a hardware interrupt. - Rename do_signal to do_notify_resume like all other archs (and do_signal_pending back to do_signal, which it was before Roland changed it). - Add the missing call to key_replace_session_keyring() to do_notify_resume().

2009-03-27powerpc: Sanitize stack pointer in signal handling codeJosh Boyer
On powerpc64 machines running 32-bit userspace, we can get garbage bits in the stack pointer passed into the kernel. Most places handle this correctly, but the signal handling code uses the passed value directly for allocating signal stack frames. This fixes the issue by introducing a get_clean_sp function that returns a sanitized stack pointer. For 32-bit tasks on a 64-bit kernel, the stack pointer is masked correctly. In all other cases, the stack pointer is simply returned. Additionally, we pass an 'is_32' parameter to get_sigframe now in order to get the properly sanitized stack. The callers are know to be 32 or 64-bit statically. Signed-off-by: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2009-02-23powerpc: Move is_32bit_taskAnton Blanchard
Move is_32bit_task into asm/thread_info.h, that allows us to test for 32/64bit tasks without an ugly CONFIG_PPC64 ifdef. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2008-10-22x86, um: get rid of uml signal.hAl Viro
the only theoretical reason for it these days is ppc; aside of uml/ppc being dead, do_signal() would be happier in arch/powerpc/kernel/signal.h anyway. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
2008-07-03powerpc: Clean up copy_to/from_user for vsx and fprMichael Neuling
This merges and cleans up some of the ugly copy/to from user code which is required for the new fpr and vsx layout in the thread_struct. Also fixes some hard coded buffer sizes and removes a redundant fpr_flush_to_thread. Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-06-14[POWERPC] Less ifdef's in signal.c/signal.hBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch moves things around a little bit in the new common signal.c and signal.h files to remove the last #ifdef in the middle of the common do_signal(). Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-06-14[POWERPC] Merge creation of signal frameBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The code for creating signal frames was still duplicated and split in strange ways between 32 and 64 bits, including the SA_ONSTACK handling being in do_signal on 32 bits but inside handle_rt_signal on 64 bits etc... This moves the 64 bits get_sigframe() to the generic signal.c, cleans it a bit, moves the access_ok() call done by all callers to it as well, and adapts/cleanups the 3 different signal handling cases to use that common function.

2007-06-14[POWERPC] Consolidate do_signalChristoph Hellwig
do_signal has exactly the same behaviour on 32bit and 64bit and 32bit compat on 64bit for handling 32bit signals. Consolidate all these into one common function in signal.c. The only odd left over is the try_to_free in the 32bit version that no other architecture has in mainline (only in i386 for some odd SuSE release). We should probably get rid of it in a separate patch.

2007-06-14[POWERPC] Consolidate restore_sigmaskChristoph Hellwig
restore_sigmask is exactly the same on 32 and 64bit, so move it to common code. Also move _BLOCKABLE to signal.h to avoid defining it multiple times.

2007-06-14[POWERPC] Make syscall restart code more commonBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch moves the code in signal_32.c and signal_64.c for handling syscall restart into a common signal.c file and converge around a single implementation that is based on the 32 bits one, using trap, ccr and r3 rather than the special "result" field for deciding what to do. The "result" field is now pretty much deprecated. We still set it for the sake of whatever might rely on it in userland but we no longer use it's content. This, along with a previous patch that enables ptracers to write to "trap" and "orig_r3" should allow gdb to properly handle syscall restarting.
