sys/reg.h already had it right as 32, to which it was explicitly
changed when commit 664cd341921007cea52c8891f27ce35927dca378 derived
x32 from x86_64. but the copy exposed in sys/user.h was missed.

arch: Wire up Landlock syscalls
linuxcommit 17ae69aba89dbfa2139b7f8024b757ab3cc42f59
Merge tag 'landlock_v34' of ... jmorris/linux-security
Landlock provides for unprivileged application sandboxing. The goal of
Landlock is to enable to restrict ambient rights (e.g. global filesystem
access) for a set of processes. Landlock is inspired by seccomp-bpf but
instead of filtering syscalls and their raw arguments, a Landlock rule
can restrict the use of kernel objects like file hierarchies, according
to the kernel semantic.

When the soft-float ABI for PowerPC was added in commit
5a92dd95c77cee81755f1a441ae0b71e3ae2bcdb, with Freescale cpus using
the alternative SPE FPU as the main use case, it was noted that we
could probably support hard float on them, but that it would involve
determining some difficult ABI constraints. This commit is the
completion of that work.
The Power-Arch-32 ABI supplement defines the ABI profiles, and indeed
ATR-SPE is built on ATR-SOFT-FLOAT. But setjmp/longjmp compatibility
are problematic for the same reason they're problematic on ARM, where
optional float-related parts of the register file are "call-saved if
present". This requires testing __hwcap, which is now done.
In keeping with the existing powerpc-sf subarch definition, which did
not have fenv, the fenv macros are not defined for SPE and the SPEFSCR
control register is left (and assumed to start in) the default mode.

commit 6d99ad91e869aab35a4d76d34c3c9eaf29482bad introduced this
regression as part of a larger change, based on an incorrect
assumption that rdhwr being part of the mips r2 ISA level meant that
the TLS register, known in the mips documentation as UserLocal, was
unconditionally present on chips providing this ISA level and would
not need trap-and-emulate. this turns out to be false.
based on research by Stanislav Kljuhhin and Abilio Marques, who
reported the problem as a performance regression on certain routers
using OpenWRT vs older uclibc-based versions, it turns out the mips
manuals document the UserLocal register as a feature that might or
might not be implemented or enabled, reflected by a cpu capability bit
in the CONFIG3 register, and that Linux checks for this and has to
explicitly enable it on models that have it.
thus, it's indeed possible that r2+ chips can lack the feature,
bringing us back to the situation where Linux only has a fast
trap-and-emulate path for the case where the destination register is
$3. so, always read the thread pointer through $3. this may incur a
gratuitous move to the desired final register on chips where it's not
needed, but it really doesn't matter.

the kernel structure has padding of the shm_segsz member up to 64
bits, as well as 2 unused longs at the end. somehow that was
overlooked when the powerpc port was added, and it has been broken
ever since; applications compiled with the wrong definition do not
correctly see the shm_segsz, shm_cpid, and shm_lpid members.
fixing the definition just by adding the missing padding would break
the ABI size of the structure as well as the position of the time64
shm_atime and shm_dtime members we added at the end. instead, just
move one of the unused padding members from the original end (before
time64) of the structure to the position of the missing padding. this
preserves size and preserves correct behavior of any compiled code
that was already working. programs affected by the wrong definition
need to be recompiled with the correct one.

ELF_NFPREG is used by some userspace applications like gdb
|
|
while the layouts match, the member member naming expected by software
using mcontext_t omits the sc_ prefix.
|
|
ucontext.h depends on the internal struct tag name for namespacing
reasons, and the intent was always for it to be consistent across
archs anyway.

float_t should represent the type that is used to evaluate float
expressions internally. On s390x, float_t is currently set to double.
In contrast, the isa supports single-precision float operations and
compilers by default evaluate float in single precision, which
violates the C standard (sections 5.2.4.2.2 and 7.12 in C11/C17, to be
precise). With -fexcess-precision=standard, gcc evaluates float in
double precision, which aligns with the standard yet at the cost of
added conversion instructions.
gcc-11 will drop the special case to retrofit double precision
behavior for -fexcess-precision=standard so that __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__
will be 0 on s390x in any scenario.
To improve standards compliance and compatibility with future compiler
direction, this patch changes the definition of float_t to be derived
from the compiler's __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__.

the ABI type for the vector registers in fpregset_t, struct
fpsimd_context, and struct user_fpsimd_struct is __uint128_t, which
was presumably originally not used because it's a nonstandard type,
but its existence is mandated by the aarch64 psABI. use of the wrong
type here broke software using these structures, and encouraged
incorrect fixes with casts rather than reinterpretation of
representation.

these were only using a custom version because they needed the
"non-64" variants of the file locking command macros.
|
|
the fcntl file locking command macro values in the existing generic
bits/fcntl.h were the "64" variants, requiring 64-bit archs that use
the "plain" variants to have their own bits/fcntl.h, even if they
otherwise use the common definitions for everything.
since commit 7cc79d10afd43811a486fd5e9fcdf8e45ac599e0 exposed
__LONG_MAX to all bits headers, we can now make the generic one common
between 32- and 64-bit archs.

prior to commit 685e40bb09f5f24a2af54ea09c97328808f76990, x86_64 was
correctly passing O_LARGEFILE to SYS_open; it was removed (defined to
0 in the public header, and changed to use the public definition) as
part of that change, probably out of a mistaken belief that it's not
needed.
however, on a mixed system with 32-bit and 64-bit binaries, it's
important that all files be opened with O_LARGEFILE, even if the
opening process is 64-bit, in case a descriptor is passed to a 32-bit
process. otherwise, attempts to access past 2GB in the 32-bit process
could produce EOVERFLOW.
most 64-bit archs added later got this right alread, except for
mips64. x32 was also affected. there are now fixed.

dtv_copy, canary2, and canary_at_end existed solely to match multiple
ABI and asm-accessed layouts simultaneously. now that pthread_arch.h
can be included before struct __pthread is defined, the struct layout
can depend on macros defined by pthread_arch.h.
|
|
the adjustment made is entirely a function of TLS_ABOVE_TP and
TP_OFFSET. aside from avoiding repetition of the TP_OFFSET value and
arithmetic, this change makes pthread_arch.h independent of the
definition of struct __pthread from pthread_impl.h. this in turn will
allow inclusion of pthread_arch.h to be moved to the top of
pthread_impl.h so that it can influence the definition of the
structure.
previously, arch files were very inconsistent about the type used for
the thread pointer. this change unifies the new __get_tp interface to
always use uintptr_t, which is the most correct when performing
arithmetic that may involve addresses outside the actual pointed-to
object (due to TP_OFFSET).
|
|
the only part of TP_ADJ that was not uniquely determined by
TLS_ABOVE_TP was the 0x7000 adjustment used mainly on mips and powerpc
variants.

a number of users performing seccomp filtering have requested use of
the new individual syscall numbers for socket syscalls, rather than
the legacy multiplexed socketcall, since the latter has the arguments
all in memory where they can't participate in filter decisions.
previously, some archs used the multiplexed socketcall if it was
historically all that was available, while other archs used the
separate syscalls. the intent was that the latter set only include
archs that have "always" had separate socket syscalls, at least going
back to linux 2.6.0. however, at least powerpc, powerpc64, and sh were
wrongly included in this set, and thus socket operations completely
failed on old kernels for these archs.
with the changes made here, the separate syscalls are always
preferred, but fallback code is compiled for archs that also define
SYS_socketcall. two such archs, mips (plain o32) and microblaze,
define SYS_socketcall despite never having needed it, so it's now
undefined by their versions of syscall_arch.h to prevent inclusion of
useless fallback code.
some archs, where the separate syscalls were only added after the
addition of SYS_accept4, lack SYS_accept. because socket calls are
always made with zeros in the unused argument positions, it suffices
to just use SYS_accept4 to provide a definition of SYS_accept, and
this is done to make happy the macro machinery that concatenates the
socket call name onto __SC_ and SYS_.

signal 7 is SIGEMT on Linux mips* ABI according to the man pages and
kernel. it's not clear where the wrong name came from but it dates
back to original mips commit.
|
|
it's been reported that the vdso clock_gettime64 function on (32-bit)
arm is broken, producing erratic results that grow at a rate far
greater than one reported second per actual elapsed second. the vdso
function seems to have been added sometime between linux 5.4 and 5.6,
so if there's ever been a working version, it was only present for a
very short window.
it's not clear what the eventual upstream kernel solution will be, but
something needs to be done on the libc side so as not to be producing
binaries that seem to work on older/existing/lts kernels (which lack
the function and thus lack the bug) but will break fantastically when
moving to newer kernels.
hopefully vdso support will be added back soon, but with a new symbol
name or version from the kernel to allow continued rejection of broken
ones.

Linux defines MAP_SYNC on powerpc and powerpc64 as of commit
22fcea6f85f2 ("mm: move MAP_SYNC to asm-generic/mman-common.h"),
so we can stop undefining it on those architectures.
|
|
on all mips variants, Linux did (and maybe still does) have some
syscall return paths that wrongly return both the error flag in r7 and
a negated error code in r2. in particular this happened for at least
some causes of ENOSYS.
add an extra check to only negate the error code if it's positive to
begin with.
bug report and concept for patch by Andreas Dröscher.

commit 4221f154ff29ab0d6be1e7beaa5ea2d1731bc58e added the r7
constraint apparently out of a misunderstanding of the breakage it was
addressing, and did so because the asm was in a shared macro used by
all the __syscallN inline functions. now "+r" is used in the output
section for the forms 4-argument and up, so having it in input is
redundant, and the forms with 0-3 arguments don't need it as an input
at all.
the r2 constraint is kept because without it most gcc versions (seems
to be all prior to 9.x) fail to honor the output register binding for
r2. this seems to be a variant of gcc bug #87733.
both the r7 and r2 input constraints look useless, but the r2 one was
a quiet workaround for gcc bug 87733, which affects all modern
versions prior to 9.x, so it's kept and documented.

exactly revert commit 604f8d3d8b08ee4f548de193050ef93a7753c2e0 which
was wrong; it caused a major regression on Linux versions prior to
2.6.36. old kernels did not properly preserve r2 across syscall
restart, and instead restarted with the instruction right before
syscall, imposing a contract that the previous instruction must load
r2 from an immediate or a register (or memory) not clobbered by the
syscall.

effectivly revert commit ddc7c4f936c7a90781072f10dbaa122007e939d0
which was wrong; it caused a major regression on Linux versions prior
to 2.6.36. old kernels did not properly preserve r2 across syscall
restart, and instead restarted with the instruction right before
syscall, imposing a contract that the previous instruction must load
r2 from an immediate or a register (or memory) not clobbered by the
syscall.
since other changes were made since, including removal of the struct
stat conversion that was replaced by separate struct kstat, this is
not a direct revert, only a functional one.
the "0"(r2) input constraint added back seems useless/erroneous, but
without it most gcc versions (seems to be all prior to 9.x) fail to
honor the output register binding for r2. this seems to be a variant
of gcc bug #87733. further changes should be made later if a better
workaround is found, but this one has been working since 2012. it
seems this issue was encountered but misidentified then, when it
inspired commit 4221f154ff29ab0d6be1e7beaa5ea2d1731bc58e.

this extends commit 5a105f19b5aae79dd302899e634b6b18b3dcd0d6, removing
timer[fd]_settime and timer[fd]_gettime. the timerfd ones are likely
to have been used in software that started using them before it could
rely on libc exposing functions.

under _GNU_SOURCE for namespace cleanliness, analogous to other archs.
the original placement in sys/reg.h seems not to have been motivated;
such a header isn't even present on other implementations.
|
|
some nontrivial number of applications have historically performed
direct syscalls for these operations rather than using the public
functions. such usage is invalid now that time_t is 64-bit and these
syscalls no longer match the types they are used with, and it was
already harmful before (by suppressing use of vdso).
since syscall() has no type safety, incorrect usage of these syscalls
can't be caught at compile-time. so, without manually inspecting or
running additional tools to check sources, the risk of such errors
slipping through is high.
this patch renames the syscalls on 32-bit archs to clock_gettime32 and
gettimeofday_time32, so that applications using the original names
will fail to build without being fixed.
note that there are a number of other syscalls that may also be unsafe
to use directly after the time64 switchover, but (1) these are the
main two that seem to be in widespread use, and (2) most of the others
continue to have valid usage with a null timeval/timespec argument, as
the argument is an optional timeout or similar.
|
|
this is not necessary for linux but is a simple, inexpensive change to
make that facilitates ports to systems where NAME_MAX needs to be
longer.
|
|
This patch adds an explicit cast to the int arguments passed to the
inline asm used in the RISC-V's implementation of `a_cas`, to ensure
that they are properly sign extended to 64 bits. They aren't
automatically sign extended by Clang, and GCC technically also doesn't
guarantee that they will be sign extended.

commit 4d3a162d001a93edd285fb6603a883c30ae553ba overlooked that the
mips64 reloc.h dependent on endian.h not only for setting the ABI ldso
name to match the byte order, but also for use of the byte swapping
macros. they are needed to override R_TYPE, R_SYM, and R_INFO, to
compensate for a mips "quirk" of always using big endian order for
symbol references in relocations.
part of that commit canot be reverted because the original code was
wrong: it's invalid to define _GNU_SOURCE or any feature test macro
in reloc.h, or anywhere except at the top of a source file. however,
thanks to commit 316730cdc7a330cddf288b4e5c1de5daa64e19f4, the feature
test macro is no longer needed to access the endian-swapping macros,
so simply bringing back the #include directive suffices.
