Using an si_code of 0 that aliases with SI_USER is clearly the wrong thing todo, and causes problems in interesting ways. For use in unknown_exception the recently defined TRAP_UNK semantically is a perfect fit. For use in RunModeException it looks like something more specific than TRAP_UNK could be used. No one has bothered to find a better fit than the broken si_code of 0 in all of these years and I don't see an obvious better fit so TRAP_UNK is switching RunModeException to return TRAP_UNK is clearly an improvement.

For it really is not clear to me if using TRAP_UNK bugcheck or the default case of gentrap is really the best way to handle things. There is certainly enough information that that a more specific si_code could potentially be used. That said TRAP_UNK is definitely an improvement over 0 as it removes the ambiguiuty of what si_code of 0 with SIGTRAP means on alpha.

Both powerpc and alpha have cases where they wronly set si_code to 0 in combination with SIGTRAP and don't mean SI_USER. About half the time this is because the architecture can not report accurately what kind of trap exception triggered the trap exception. The other half the time it looks like no one has bothered to figure out an appropriate si_code. For the cases where the architecture does not have enough information or is too lazy to figure out exactly what kind of trap exception it is define TRAP_UNK.

The si_code of 0 (aka SI_USER) has fields si_pid and si_uid not si_addr so it so only by luck would the appropriate fields by copied to userspace by copy_siginfo_to_user. This is just broken and wrong. Make it obvious what is happening by moving the si_code from a parameter of the one call to ucf64_raise_sigfpe to a constant value that info.si_code gets set to. Explicitly set the si_code to FPE_FLTUNK the newly reserved floating point si_code for an unknown floating point exception. It looks like there is a fair chance that this is a code path that has never been used in real life on unicore32. The bad si_code and the print statement that calls it an unhandled exception. So I really don't expect anyone will mind if this just gets fixed. In similar situations on more popular architectures the conclusion was just fix it.

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:

The call chain is: breakpoint notify_die hw_breakpoint_exceptions_notify hw_breakpoint_handler So the signal number can only be SIGTRAP. In hw_breakpoint_handler rc is either NOTIFY_STOP or NOTIF_DONE both of which notifier_to_errno converts to 0. So si_errno is 0. Historically si_addr was left unitialized in struct siginfo which is a bug. There appears to be no consensus among the various architectures which value should be in si_addr. So since no usable value has been returned up to this point return NULL in si_addr. Fixes: 4352fc1b ("sh: Abstracted SH-4A UBC support on hw-breakpoint core.")

Starting with commit v4.14-rc1~60^2^2~1, a SIGFPE signal sent via kill results to wrong values in si_pid and si_uid fields of compat siginfo_t. This happens due to FPE_FIXME being defined to 0 for sparc, and at the same time siginfo_layout() introduced by the same commit returns SIL_FAULT for SIGFPE if si_code == SI_USER and FPE_FIXME is defined to 0. Fix this regression by removing FPE_FIXME macro and changing all its users to assign FPE_FLTUNK to si_code instead of FPE_FIXME. Note that FPE_FLTUNK is a new macro introduced by commit 266da65e. Tested with commit v4.16-11958-g16e205cf42da. This bug was found by strace test suite. In the discussion about FPE_FLTUNK on sparc David Miller said: > Eric, feel free to do something similar on Sparc.

Setting si_code to 0 is the same as setting si_code to SI_USER. This is the same si_code as SI_USER. Posix and common sense requires that SI_USER not be a signal specific si_code. As such this use of 0 for the si_code is a pretty horribly broken ABI.

The code to verify the new kernels sha digest is applicable for all architectures. Move it to common code. One problem is the string.c implementation on x86. Currently sha256 includes x86/boot/string.h which defines memcpy and memset to be gcc builtins. By moving the sha256 implementation to common code and changing the include to linux/string.h both functions are no longer defined.

For s390 new kernels are loaded to fixed addresses in memory before they are booted. With the current code this is a problem as it assumes the kernel will be loaded to an 'arbitrary' address. In particular, kexec_locate_mem_hole searches for a large enough memory region and sets the load address (kexec_bufer->mem) to it. Luckily there is a simple workaround for this problem. By returning 1 in arch_kexec_walk_mem, kexec_locate_mem_hole is turned off. This allows the architecture to set kbuf->mem by hand. While the trick works fine for the kernel it does not for the purgatory as here the architectures don't have access to its kexec_buffer. Give architectures access to the purgatories kexec_buffer by changing kexec_load_purgatory to take a pointer to it. With this change architectures have access to the buffer and can edit it as they need. A nice side effect of this change is that we can get rid of the purgatory_info->purgatory_load_address field. As now the information stored there can directly be accessed from kbuf->mem. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180321112751.22196-11-prudo@linux.vnet.ibm.com Signed-off-by:

The current code uses the sh_offset field in purgatory_info->sechdrs to store a pointer to the current load address of the section. Depending whether the section will be loaded or not this is either a pointer into purgatory_info->purgatory_buf or kexec_purgatory. This is not only a violation of the ELF standard but also makes the code very hard to understand as you cannot tell if the memory you are using is read-only or not. Remove this misuse and store the offset of the section in pugaroty_info->purgatory_buf in sh_offset. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180321112751.22196-10-prudo@linux.vnet.ibm.com Signed-off-by:

When the relocations are applied to the purgatory only the section the relocations are applied to is writable. The other sections, i.e. the symtab and .rel/.rela, are in read-only kexec_purgatory.

While at it also change the signatures of arch_kexec_apply_relocations* to take section pointers instead of just the index of the relocation section.

While prepare_elf64_headers() in x86 looks pretty generic for other architectures' use, it contains some code which tries to list crash memory regions by walking through system resources, which is not always architecture agnostic. To make this function more generic, the related code should be purged. In this patch, prepare_elf64_headers() simply scans crash_mem buffer passed and add all the listed regions to elf header as a PT_LOAD segment. So walk_system_ram_res(prepare_elf64_headers_callback) have been moved forward before prepare_elf64_headers() where the callback, prepare_elf64_headers_callback(), is now responsible for filling up crash_mem buffer. Meanwhile exclude_elf_header_ranges() used to be called every time in this callback it is rather redundant and now called only once in prepare_elf_headers() as well.

Patch series "kexec_file, x86, powerpc: refactoring for other architecutres", v2. This is a preparatory patchset for adding kexec_file support on arm64. It was originally included in a arm64 patch set[1], but Philipp is also working on their kexec_file support on s390[2] and some changes are now conflicting. So these common parts were extracted and put into a separate patch set for better integration. What's more, my original patch#4 was split into a few small chunks for easier review after Dave's comment. As such, the resulting code is basically identical with my original, and the only *visible* differences are: - renaming of _kexec_kernel_image_probe() and _kimage_file_post_load_cleanup() - change one of types of arguments at prepare_elf64_headers() Those, unfortunately, require a couple of trivial changes on the rest (#1, #6 to #13) of my arm64 kexec_file patch set[1]. Patch #1 allows making a use of purgatory optional, particularly useful for arm64. Patch #2 commonalizes arch_kexec_kernel_{image_probe, image_load, verify_sig}() and arch_kimage_file_post_load_cleanup() across architectures. Patches #3-#7 are also intended to generalize parse_elf64_headers(), along with exclude_mem_range(), to be made best re-use of.

It is highly unlikely that the region is accidentally corrupted and this observation rationalizes that digest check code can also be dropped from purgatory. The resulting code is so simple as it doesn't require a bit ugly re-linking/relocation stuff, i.e. arch_kexec_apply_relocations_add(). Please see: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2017-December/545428.html All that the purgatory does is to shuffle arguments and jump into a new kernel, while we still need to have some space for a hash value (purgatory_sha256_digest) which is never checked against. As such, it doesn't make sense to have trampline code between old kernel and new kernel on arm64. This patch introduces a new configuration, ARCH_HAS_KEXEC_PURGATORY, and allows related code to be compiled in only if necessary.

The cpu_has_feature() mechanism has an optimisation where at build time we construct a mask of the CPU feature bits that will always be true for the given .config, based on the platform/bitness/etc. that we are building for. That is incompatible with DT CPU features, where the set of CPU features is dependent on feature flags that are given to us by firmware. The result is that some feature bits can not be *disabled* by DT CPU features. Or more accurately, they can be disabled but they will still appear in the ALWAYS mask, meaning cpu_has_feature() will always return true for them. In the past this hasn't really been a problem because on Book3S 64 (where we support DT CPU features), the set of ALWAYS bits has been very small. That was because we always built for POWER4 and later, meaning the set of common bits was small. The only bit that could be cleared by DT CPU features that was also in the ALWAYS mask was CPU_FTR_NODSISRALIGN, and that was only used in the alignment handler to create a fake DSISR. That code was itself deleted in 31bfdb03 ("powerpc: Use instruction emulation infrastructure to handle alignment faults") (Sep 2017). However the set of ALWAYS features changed with the recent commit db5ae1c1 ("powerpc/64s: Refine feature sets for little endian builds") which restricted the set of feature flags when building little endian to Power7 or later. That caused the ALWAYS mask to become much larger for little endian builds. The result is that the following feature bits can currently not be *disabled* by DT CPU features: CPU_FTR_REAL_LE, CPU_FTR_MMCRA, CPU_FTR_CTRL, CPU_FTR_SMT, CPU_FTR_PURR, CPU_FTR_SPURR, CPU_FTR_DSCR, CPU_FTR_PKEY, CPU_FTR_VMX_COPY, CPU_FTR_CFAR, CPU_FTR_HAS_PPR. To fix it we need to mask the set of ALWAYS features with the base set of DT CPU features, ie. the features that are always enabled by DT CPU features. That way there are no bits in the ALWAYS mask that are not also always set by DT CPU features. Fixes: db5ae1c1 ("powerpc/64s: Refine feature sets for little endian builds") Reviewed-by:

On SuperH, the base of the physical memory might be different from zero. In this case, PCI address zero will map to a non-zero physical address. In order to make sure that the DMA mapping API takes care of this DMA offset, we must fill in the dev->dma_pfn_offset field for PCI devices. This gets done in the pcibios_bus_add_device() hook, called for each new PCI device detected. The dma_pfn_offset global variable is re-calculated for every PCI controller available on the platform, but that's not an issue because its value will each time be exactly the same, as it only depends on the memory start address and memory size.

The code setting up the PCI -> SuperHighway mapping doesn't take into account the fact that the address stored in PCIELARx must be aligned with the size stored in PCIELAMRx. For example, when your physical memory starts at 0x0800_0000 (128 MB), a size of 64 MB or 128 MB is fine. However, if you have 256 MB of memory, it doesn't work because the base address is not aligned on the size. In such situation, we have to round down the base address to make sure it is aligned on the size of the area. For for a 0x0800_0000 base address with 256 MB of memory, we will round down to 0x0, and extend the size of the mapping to 512 MB. This allows the mapping to work on platforms that have 256 MB of RAM. The current setup would only work with 128 MB of RAM or less. Signed-off-by:

The current definition of the PCIe IO and MEM resources for SH7786 doesn't match what the datasheet says. For example, for PCIe0 0xfe100000 is advertised by the datasheet as a PCI IO region, while 0xfd000000 is advertised as a PCI MEM region. The code currently inverts the two. The SH4A_PCIEPARL and SH4A_PCIEPTCTLR registers allow to define the base address and role of the different regions (including whether it's a MEM or IO region). However, practical experience on a SH7786 shows that if 0xfe100000 is used for LEL and 0xfd000000 for IO, a PCIe device using two MEM BARs cannot be accessed at all. Simply using 0xfe100000 for IO and 0xfd000000 for MEM makes the PCIe device accessible. It is very likely that this was never seen because there are two other PCI MEM region listed in the resources. However, for different reasons, none of the two other MEM regions are usable on the specific SH7786 platform the problem was encountered. Therefore, the last MEM region at 0xfe100000 was used to place the BARs, making the device non-functional. This commit therefore adjusts those PCI MEM and IO resources definitions so that they match what the datasheet says. They have only been tested with PCIe 0. Signed-off-by:

Depending on the physical memory layout, some PCI MEM areas are not usable. According to the SH7786 datasheet, the PCI MEM area from 1000_0000 to 13FF_FFFF is only usable if the physical memory layout (in MMSELR) is 1, 2, 5 or 6. In all other configurations, this PCI MEM area is not usable (because it overlaps with DRAM). Therefore, this commit adjusts the PCI SH7786 initialization to mark the relevant PCI resource as IORESOURCE_DISABLED if we can't use it. Signed-off-by:

Some PCI MEM resources are marked as IORESOURCE_MEM_32BIT, which means they are only usable when the SH core runs in 32-bit mode. In 29-bit mode, such memory regions are not usable. The existing code for SH7786 properly skips such regions when configuring the PCIe controller registers. However, because such regions are still described in the resource array, the pcibios_scanbus() function in the SuperH pci.c will register them to the PCI core. Due to this, the PCI core will allocate MEM areas from this resource, and assign BARs pointing to this area, even though it's unusable. In order to prevent this from happening, we mark such regions as IORESOURCE_DISABLED, which tells the SuperH pci.c pcibios_scanbus() function to skip them. Note that we separate marking the region as disabled from skipping it, because other regions will be marked as disabled in follow-up patches. Signed-off-by:

In pcibios_scanbus(), we provide to the PCI core the usable MEM and IO regions using pci_add_resource_offset(). We travel through all resources available in the "struct pci_channel". Also, in register_pci_controller(), we travel through all resources to request them, making sure they don't conflict with already requested resources. However, some resources may be disabled, in which case they should not be requested nor provided to the PCI core. In the current situation, none of the resources are disabled. However, follow-up patches in this series will make some resources disabled, making this preliminary change necessary. Signed-off-by:

Some devices may have a non-zero DMA offset, i.e an offset between the DMA address and the physical address. Such an offset can be encoded into the dma_pfn_offset field of "struct device", but the SuperH implementation of the DMA mapping API does not observe this information. This commit fixes that by ensuring the DMA address is properly calculated depending on this DMA offset. Signed-off-by:
