The new syscall restarting code can lead to problems if we take an
interrupt in userspace just before restarting the svc instruction. If
a signal is delivered when returning from the interrupt, the
TIF_SYSCALL_RESTARTSYS will remain set and cause any syscalls executed
from the signal handler to be treated as a restart of the previously
interrupted system call. This includes the final sigreturn call, meaning
that we may fail to exit from the signal context. Furthermore, if a
system call made from the signal handler requires a restart via the
restart_block, it is possible to clear the thread flag and fail to
restart the originally interrupted system call.
The right solution to this problem is to perform the restarting in the
kernel, avoiding the possibility of handling a further signal before the
restart is complete. Since we're almost at -rc6, let's revert the new
method for now and aim for in-kernel restarting at a later date.

new "syscall start" flag; handled in syscall_trace() by switching
syscall number to that of syscall_restart(2). Restarts of that
kind (ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK) are handled by setting that bit;
syscall number is not modified until the actual call.

The user VFP state must be preserved (subject to ucontext modifications)
across invocation of a signal handler and this is currently handled by
vfp_{preserve,restore}_context in signal.c
Since this code requires intimate low-level knowledge of the VFP state,
this patch moves it into vfpmodule.c.

Since the ASIDs must be unique to an mm across all the CPUs in a system,
the __new_context() function needs to broadcast a context reset event to
all the CPUs during ASID allocation if a roll-over occurred. Such IPIs
cannot be issued with interrupts disabled and ARM had to define
__ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW.
This patch changes the check_context() function to
check_and_switch_context() called from switch_mm(). In case of
ASID-capable CPUs (ARMv6 onwards), if a new ASID is needed and the
interrupts are disabled, it defers the __new_context() and
cpu_switch_mm() calls to the post-lock switch hook where the interrupts
are enabled. Setting the reserved TTBR0 was also moved to
check_and_switch_context() from cpu_v7_switch_mm().

This patch provides functionality to audit system call events on the
ARM platform. The implementation was based off the structure of the
MIPS platform and information in this
(http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/arm/2009-October/000382.html)
mailing list thread. The required audit_syscall_exit and
audit_syscall_entry checks were added to ptrace using the standard
registers for system call values (r0 through r3). A thread information
flag was added for auditing (TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT) and a meta-flag was
added (_TIF_SYSCALL_WORK) to simplify modifications to the syscall
entry/exit. Now, if either the TRACE flag is set or the AUDIT flag is
set, the syscall_trace function will be executed. The prober changes
were made to Kconfig to allow CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL to be enabled.
Due to platform availability limitations, this patch was only tested
on the Android platform running the modified "android-goldfish-2.6.29"
kernel. A test compile was performed using Code Sourcery's
cross-compilation toolset and the current linux-3.0 stable kernel. The
changes compile without error. I'm hoping, due to the simple modifications,
the patch is "obviously correct".

If we're only reading the VFP context via the ptrace call, there's
no need to invalidate the hardware context - we only need to do that
on PTRACE_SETVFPREGS. This allows more efficient monitoring of a
traced task.

Fix up trivial conflict in arch/arm/kernel/signal.c.
It was due to the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME addition in commit d0420c83f ("KEYS:
Extend TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME to (almost) all architectures") and follow-ups.
Implement TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME for most of those architectures in which isn't yet
available, and, whilst we're at it, have it call the appropriate tracehook.
After this patch, blackfin, m68k* and xtensa still lack support and need
alteration of assembly code to make it work.
Resume notification can then be used (by a later patch) to install a new
session keyring on the parent of a process.

This patch adds support for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK to ARM's
signal handling, which allows to hook up the pselect6, ppoll,
and epoll_pwait syscalls on ARM.
Tested here with eabi userspace and a test program with a
deliberate race between a child's exit and the parent's
sigprocmask/select sequence. Using sys_pselect6() instead
of sigprocmask/select reliably prevents the race.
The other arch's support for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK has evolved
over time:
In 2.6.16:
- add TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK which parallels TIF_SIGPENDING
- test both when checking for pending signal [changed later]
- reimplement sys_sigsuspend() to use current->saved_sigmask,
TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK [changed later], and -ERESTARTNOHAND;
ditto for sys_rt_sigsuspend(), but drop private code and
use common code via __ARCH_WANT_SYS_RT_SIGSUSPEND;
- there are now no "extra" calls to do_signal() so its oldset
parameter is always ¤t->blocked so need not be passed,
also its return value is changed to void
- change handle_signal() to return 0/-errno
- change do_signal() to honor TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK:
+ get oldset from current->saved_sigmask if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
is set
+ if handle_signal() was successful then clear TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
+ if no signal was delivered and TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is set then
clear it and restore the sigmask
- hook up sys_pselect6() and sys_ppoll()
In 2.6.19:
- hook up sys_epoll_pwait()
In 2.6.26:
- allow archs to override how TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is implemented;
default set_restore_sigmask() sets both TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK and
TIF_SIGPENDING; archs need now just test TIF_SIGPENDING again
when checking for pending signal work; some archs now implement
TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK as a secondary/non-atomic thread flag bit
- call set_restore_sigmask() in sys_sigsuspend() instead of setting
TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
In 2.6.29-rc:
- kill sys_pselect7() which no arch wanted
So for 2.6.31-rc6/ARM this patch does the following:
- Add TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK. Use the generic set_restore_sigmask()
which sets both TIF_SIGPENDING and TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK, so
TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK need not claim one of the scarce low thread
flags, and existing TIF_SIGPENDING and _TIF_WORK_MASK tests need
not be extended for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK.
- sys_sigsuspend() is reimplemented to use current->saved_sigmask
and set_restore_sigmask(), making it identical to most other archs
- The private code for sys_rt_sigsuspend() is removed, instead
generic code supplies it via __ARCH_WANT_SYS_RT_SIGSUSPEND.
- sys_sigsuspend() and sys_rt_sigsuspend() no longer need a pt_regs
parameter, so their assembly code wrappers are removed.
- handle_signal() is changed to return 0 on success or -errno.
- The oldset parameter to do_signal() is now redundant and removed,
and the return value is now also redundant and changed to void.
- do_signal() is changed to honor TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK:
+ get oldset from current->saved_sigmask if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
is set
+ if handle_signal() was successful then clear TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
+ if no signal was delivered and TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is set then
clear it and restore the sigmask
- Hook up sys_pselect6, sys_ppoll, and sys_epoll_pwait.

Pull the initial preempt_count value into a single

Maintainers for: alpha, ia64 and m68k, please have a look,
your arch code is funny.
The header magic is a bit odd, but similar to the KERNEL_DS
one, CPP waits with expanding these macros until the
INIT_THREAD_INFO macro itself is expanded, which is in
arch/*/kernel/init_task.c where we've already included
sched.h so we're good.
