Al Viro 0509666660 alpha: lazy FPU switching
On each context switch we save the FPU registers on stack
of old process and restore FPU registers from the stack of new one.
That allows us to avoid doing that each time we enter/leave the
kernel mode; however, that can get suboptimal in some cases.

	For one thing, we don't need to bother saving anything
for kernel threads.  For another, if between entering and leaving
the kernel a thread gives CPU up more than once, it will do
useless work, saving the same values every time, only to discard
the saved copy as soon as it returns from switch_to().

	Alternative solution:

* move the array we save into from switch_stack to thread_info
* have a (thread-synchronous) flag set when we save them
* have another flag set when they should be restored on return to userland.
* do *NOT* save/restore them in do_switch_stack()/undo_switch_stack().
* restore on the exit to user mode if the restore flag had
been set.  Clear both flags.
* on context switch, entry to fork/clone/vfork, before entry into do_signal()
and on entry into straced syscall save the registers and set the 'saved' flag
unless it had been already set.
* on context switch set the 'restore' flag as well.
* have copy_thread() set both flags for child, so the registers would be
restored once the child returns to userland.
* use the saved data in setup_sigcontext(); have restore_sigcontext() set both flags
and copy from sigframe to save area.
* teach ptrace to look for FPU registers in thread_info instead of
switch_stack.
* teach isolated accesses to FPU registers (rdfpcr, wrfpcr, etc.)
to check the 'saved' flag (under preempt_disable()) and work with the save area
if it's been set; if 'saved' flag is found upon write access, set 'restore' flag
as well.

Al Viro 060581c158 alpha: use alpha_ni_syscall only for syscall zero
Once upon a time it used to have a C part that printed a warning
about unimplemented OSF syscalls.  That's what it's been doing
all over the OSF syscall range, while the native Linux syscall
range uses sys_ni_syscall().

With those warnings about unimplemented OSF syscalls gone (circa 2.4),
alpha_ni_syscall() has shrunk to that little bit of asm and the
only reason it hasn't been replaced with sys_ni_syscall() everywhere
is that extra twist needed in case of syscall #0.

Let's keep it only for syscall #0 and replace the rest with sys_ni_syscall.
And use sys_ni_syscall for "number out range" in ptraced-call case, as
we'd been doing for normal codepath since 2.1.86...

Al Viro 206b1c6012 alpha: get rid of pointless insn in ret_from_kernel_thread
It used to clear a3, so that signal handling on
return to userland would've passed zero r0 to do_work_pending(),
preventing the syscall restart logics from triggering.

	It had been pointless all along, since we only go there
after successful do_execve().  Which does clear regs->r0 on alpha,
preventing the syscall restart logics just fine, no extra help
needed.  Good thing, that, since back in 2012 do_work_pending()
has lost the second argument, shifting the registers used to pass
that thing from a3 to a2.  Commit that had done that adjusted the
entry.S code accordingly, but missed that one.

	As the result, we were left with useless insn in
ret_from_kernel_thread and confusing comment to go with it.
Get rid of both...

Greg Kroah-Hartman b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

preserve the data for restarts across the call of schedule() in
$work_resched; we can get there only if we had either returned
from syscall without SIGPENDING (in which case we should've
had no restart-worthy return value and want no restarts) or
already got through do_notify_resume() call (in which case we
want no restarts anymore).  So we can just slap 0 into $19
instead of preserving it (and $20).

to revert to original variant...

Al Viro 494486a1d2 alpha: deal with multiple simultaneously pending signals
Unlike the other targets, alpha sets _one_ sigframe and
buggers off until the next syscall/interrupt, even if
more signals are pending.  It leads to quite a few unpleasant
inconsistencies, starting with SIGSEGV potentially arriving
not where it should and including e.g. mess with sigsuspend();
consider two pending signals blocked until sigsuspend()
unblocks them.  We pick the first one; then, if we are hit
by interrupt while in the handler, we process the second one
as well.  If we are not, and if no syscalls had been made,
we get out of the first handler and leave the second signal
pending; normally sigreturn() would've picked it anyway, but
here it starts with restoring the original mask and voila -
the second signal is blocked again.  On everything else we
get both delivered consistently.

It's actually easy to fix; the only thing to watch out for
is prevention of double syscall restart.  Fortunately, the
idea I've nicked from arm fix by rmk works just fine...

Testcase demonstrating the behaviour in question; on alpha
we get one or both flags set (usually one), on everything
else both are always set.
	#include <signal.h>
	#include <stdio.h>
	int had1, had2;
	void f1(int sig) { had1 = 1; }
	void f2(int sig) { had2 = 1; }
	main()
	{
		sigset_t set1, set2;
		sigemptyset(&set1);
		sigemptyset(&set2);
		sigaddset(&set2, 1);
		sigaddset(&set2, 2);
		signal(1, f1);
		signal(2, f2);
		sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, &set2, NULL);
		raise(1);
		raise(2);
		sigsuspend(&set1);
		printf("had1:%d had2:%d\n", had1, had2);

Al Viro 5329363861 alpha: fix a 14 years old bug in sigreturn tracing
The way sigreturn() is implemented on alpha breaks PTRACE_SYSCALL,
all way back to 1.3.95 when alpha has grown PTRACE_SYSCALL support.

What happens is direct return to ret_from_syscall, in order to bypass
mangling of a3 (error indicator) and prevent other mutilations of
registers (e.g. by syscall restart).  That's fine, but... the entire
TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE codepath is kept separate on alpha and post-syscall
stopping/notifying the tracer is after the syscall.  And the normal
path we are forcibly switching to doesn't have it.

So we end up with *one* stop in traced sigreturn() vs. two in other
syscalls.  And yes, strace is visibly broken by that; try to strace
the following
	#include <signal.h>
	#include <stdio.h>
	void f(int sig) {}
	main()
	{
		signal(SIGHUP, f);
		raise(SIGHUP);
		write(1, "eeeek\n", 6);
	}
and watch the show.  The
	close(1)                                = 405
in the end of strace output is coming from return value of write() (6 ==
__NR_close on alpha) and syscall number of exit_group() (__NR_exit_group ==
405 there).

The fix is fairly simple - the only thing we end up missing is the call
of syscall_trace() and we can tell whether we'd been called from the
SYSCALL_TRACE path by checking ra value.  Since we are setting the
switch_stack up (that's what sys_sigreturn() does), we have the right
environment for calling syscall_trace() - just before we call
undo_switch_stack() and return.  Since undo_switch_stack() will overwrite
s0 anyway, we can use it to store the result of "has it been called from
SYSCALL_TRACE path?" check.  The same thing applies in rt_sigreturn().

Al Viro 392fb6e354 alpha: unb0rk sigsuspend() and rt_sigsuspend()
Old code used to set regs->r0 and regs->r19 to force the right
return value.  Leaving that after switch to ERESTARTNOHAND
was a Bad Idea(tm), since now that screws the restart - if we
hit the case when get_signal_to_deliver() returns 0, we will
step back to syscall insn, with v0 set to EINTR and a3 to 1.
The latter won't matter, since EINTR is 4, aka __NR_write.

Testcase:

	#include <signal.h>
	#define _GNU_SOURCE
	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <sys/syscall.h>

	main()
	{
		sigset_t mask;
		sigemptyset(&mask);
		sigaddset(&mask, SIGCONT);
		sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, &mask, NULL);
		kill(0, SIGCONT);
		syscall(__NR_sigsuspend, 1, "b0rken\n", 7);
	}

results on alpha in immediate message to stdout...

Fix is obvious; moreover, since we don't need regs anymore, we can
switch to normal prototypes for these guys and lose the wrappers.
Even better, rt_sigsuspend() is identical to generic version in
kernel/signal.c now.

Heiko Carstens 1134723e96 [CVE-2009-0029] Remove __attribute__((weak)) from sys_pipe/sys_pipe2
Remove __attribute__((weak)) from common code sys_pipe implemantation.
IA64, ALPHA, SUPERH (32bit) and SPARC (32bit) have own implemantations
with the same name. Just rename them.
For sys_pipe2 there is no architecture specific implementation.

David Howells b6dff3ec5e CRED: Separate task security context from task_struct
Separate the task security context from task_struct.  At this point, the
security data is temporarily embedded in the task_struct with two pointers
pointing to it.

Note that the Alpha arch is altered as it refers to (E)UID and (E)GID in
entry.S via asm-offsets.

Christoph Hellwig a5f833f3c1 alpha: convert to generic sys_ptrace
This patch converts alpha to the generic sys_ptrace.  We use
force_successful_syscall_return to avoid having to pass the pt_regs pointer
down to the function.  I think the removal of the assemly stub is correct,
but I could only compile-test this patch, so please give it a spin before
commiting :)

Arnd Bergmann 3db03b4afb [PATCH] rename the provided execve functions to kernel_execve
Some architectures provide an execve function that does not set errno, but
instead returns the result code directly.  Rename these to kernel_execve to
get the right semantics there.  Moreover, there is no reasone for any of these
architectures to still provide __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ or _syscallN macros, so
remove these right away.

Eric W. Biederman 9a5e733990 [PATCH] alpha: Fix getxpid on alpha so it works for threads
While looking in the code I discovered that alpha has fallen behind because
it doesn't use sys_getppid.  The problem is that it doesn't follow the task
struct to the task_group_leader.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
