* mm/pkeys: Fix siginfo ABI breakage caused by new u64 fieldDave Hansen2016-03-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Stephen Rothwell reported this linux-next build failure: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160226164406.065a1ffc@canb.auug.org.au ... caused by the Memory Protection Keys patches from the tip tree triggering a newly introduced build-time sanity check on an ARM build, because they changed the ABI of siginfo in an unexpected way. If u64 has a natural alignment of 8 bytes (which is the case on most mainstream platforms, with the notable exception of x86-32), then the leadup to the _sifields union matters: typedef struct siginfo { int si_signo; int si_errno; int si_code; union { ... } _sifields; } __ARCH_SI_ATTRIBUTES siginfo_t; Note how the first 3 fields give us 12 bytes, so _sifields is not 8 naturally bytes aligned. Before the _pkey field addition the largest element of _sifields (on 32-bit platforms) was 32 bits. With the u64 added, the minimum alignment requirement increased to 8 bytes on those (rare) 32-bit platforms. Thus GCC padded the space after si_code with 4 extra bytes, and shifted all _sifields offsets by 4 bytes - breaking the ABI of all of those remaining fields. On 64-bit platforms this problem was hidden due to _sifields already having numerous fields with natural 8 bytes alignment (pointers). To fix this, we replace the u64 with an '__u32'. The __u32 does not increase the minimum alignment requirement of the union, and it is also large enough to store the 16-bit pkey we have today on x86.

* signals, pkeys: Notify userspace about protection key faultsDave Hansen2016-02-181-5/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A protection key fault is very similar to any other access error. There must be a VMA, etc... We even want to take the same action (SIGSEGV) that we do with a normal access fault. However, we do need to let userspace know that something is different. We do this the same way what we did with SEGV_BNDERR with Memory Protection eXtensions (MPX): define a new SEGV code: SEGV_PKUERR. We add a siginfo field: si_pkey that reveals to userspace which protection key was set on the PTE that we faulted on. There is no other easy way for userspace to figure this out. They could parse smaps but that would be a bit cruel. We share space with in siginfo with _addr_bnd. #BR faults from MPX are completely separate from page faults (#PF) that trigger from protection key violations, so we never need both at the same time. Note that _pkey is a 64-bit value. The current hardware only supports 4-bit protection keys. We do this because there is _plenty_ of space in _sigfault and it is possible that future processors would support more than 4 bits of protection keys. The x86 code to actually fill in the siginfo is in the next patch.

* mpx: Extend siginfo structure to include bound violation informationQiaowei Ren2014-11-181-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds new fields about bound violation into siginfo structure. si_lower and si_upper are respectively lower bound and upper bound when bound violation is caused.
