[PATCHv3 00/19] arm64: invoke syscalls with pt_regs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This series reworks arm64's syscall handling to minimize the propagation
of user-controlled register values into speculated code paths. As with
x86 [1], a wrapper is generated for each syscall, which extracts the
argument from a struct pt_regs. During kernel entry from userspace,
registers are zeroed.

The arm64 kernel code directly invokes some syscalls which the x86 code
doesn't, so I've added ksys_* wrappers for these, following the x86
example. The rest of the series is arm64-specific.

I've pushed the series out to my arm64/syscall-regs branch [2] on
kernel.org.

Since v1 [3]:
* Rebase atop of arm64 for-next/core (for SSBD conflicts)
* Move ksys_personality logic into <linux/syscalls.h>
* Move kcompat_sys_* wrappers to <linux/compat.h>
* Fix scno bounds check to use unsigned comparison
* Fix sve_user_reset() call in el0_svc_handler()
* Add BUILD_BUG() to the !CONFIG_ARM64_SVE stubs
* Accumulate acked-by / reviewed-by tags

Since v2 [4]:
* Rebase to v4.18-rc1
* Take upper 32 RES0 bits of SCTLR_ELx into account
* Accumulate acks

Thanks,
Mark.
