The purpose of this serie is to activate CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK which
moves the thread_info into task_struct.
Moving thread_info into task_struct has the following advantages:
- It protects thread_info from corruption in the case of stack
overflows.
- Its address is harder to determine if stack addresses are
leaked, making a number of attacks more difficult.
Added Mark Rutland in copy as he did the work on arm64 and may have
recommendations for us.
Changes in v14 (ie since v13):
- Added in front a fixup patch which conflicts with this serie
- Added a patch for using try_get_task_stack()/put_task_stack() in stack
walkers.
- Fixed compilation failure in the preparation patch (by moving the
modification
of klp_init_thread_info() to the following patch)
Changes since v12:
- Patch 1: Taken comment from Mike (re-introduced the 'panic' in case memblock
allocation fails in setup_64.c
- Patch 1: Added alloc_stack() function in setup_32.c to also panic in case of
allocation failure.
Changes since v11:
- Rebased on 81775f5563fa ("Automatic merge of branches 'master', 'next' and
'fixes' into merge")
- Added a first patch to change memblock allocs to functions returning virtual
addrs. This removes
the memset() which were the only remaining stuff in irq_ctx_init() and
exc_lvl_ctx_init() at the end.
- dropping irq_ctx_init() and exc_lvl_ctx_init() in patch 5 (powerpc: Activate
CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK)
- A few cosmetic changes in commit log and code.
Changes since v10:
- Rebased on 21622a0d2023 ("Automatic merge of branches 'master', 'next' and
'fixes' into merge")
==> Fixed conflict in setup_32.S
Changes since v9:
- Rebased on 183cbf93be88 ("Automatic merge of branches 'master', 'next' and
'fixes' into merge")
==> Fixed conflict on xmon
Changes since v8:
- Rebased on e589b79e40d9 ("Automatic merge of branches 'master', 'next' and
'fixes' into merge")
==> Main impact was conflicts due to commit 9a8dd708d547 ("memblock: rename
memblock_alloc{_nid,_try_nid} to memblock_phys_alloc*")
Changes since v7:
- Rebased on fb6c6ce7907d ("Automatic merge of branches 'master', 'next' and
'fixes' into merge")
Changes since v6:
- Fixed validate_sp() to exclude NULL sp in 'regain entire stack space' patch
(early crash with CONFIG_KMEMLEAK)
Changes since v5:
- Fixed livepatch_sp setup by using end_of_stack() instead of hardcoding
- Fixed PPC_BPF_LOAD_CPU() macro
Changes since v4:
- Fixed a build failure on 32bits SMP when include/generated/asm-offsets.h is
not
already existing, was due to spaces instead of a tab in the Makefile
Changes since RFC v3: (based on Nick's review)
- Renamed task_size.h to task_size_user64.h to better relate to what it
contains.
- Handling of the isolation of thread_info cpu field inside CONFIG_SMP #ifdefs
moved to a separate patch.
- Removed CURRENT_THREAD_INFO macro completely.
- Added a guard in asm/smp.h to avoid build failure before _TASK_CPU is
defined.
- Added a patch at the end to rename 'tp' pointers to 'sp' pointers
- Renamed 'tp' into 'sp' pointers in preparation patch when relevant
- Fixed a few commit logs
- Fixed checkpatch report.
Changes since RFC v2:
- Removed the modification of names in asm-offsets
- Created a rule in arch/powerpc/Makefile to append the offset of current->cpu
in CFLAGS
- Modified asm/smp.h to use the offset set in CFLAGS
- Squashed the renaming of THREAD_INFO to TASK_STACK in the preparation patch
- Moved the modification of current_pt_regs in the patch activating
CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK
Changes since RFC v1:
- Removed the first patch which was modifying header inclusion order in timer
- Modified some names in asm-offsets to avoid conflicts when including
asm-offsets in C files
- Modified asm/smp.h to avoid having to include linux/sched.h (using
asm-offsets instead)
- Moved some changes from the activation patch to the preparation patch.
