Pull uaccess fixes from Al Viro:
"Fixes for broken uaccess primitives - mostly lack of proper zeroing
in copy_from_user()/get_user()/__get_user(), but for several
architectures there's more (broken clear_user() on frv and
strncpy_from_user() on hexagon)"* 'uaccess-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (28 commits)

... in all cases, including the failing access_ok()
Note that some architectures using asm-generic/uaccess.h have
__copy_from_user() not zeroing the tail on failure halfway
through. This variant works either way.Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

There are three usercopy warnings which are currently being silenced for
gcc 4.6 and newer:1) "copy_from_user() buffer size is too small" compile warning/error
This is a static warning which happens when object size and copy size
are both const, and copy size > object size. I didn't see any false
positives for this one. So the function warning attribute seems to
be working fine here.Note this scenario is always a bug and so I think it should be
changed to *always* be an error, regardless of
CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS.2) "copy_from_user() buffer size is not provably correct" compile warning
This is another static warning which happens when I enable
__compiletime_object_size() for new compilers (and
CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS). It happens when object size
is const, but copy size is *not*. In this case there's no way to
compare the two at build time, so it gives the warning. (Note the
warning is a byproduct of the fact that gcc has no way of knowing
whether the overflow function will be called, so the call isn't dead
code and the warning attribute is activated.)So this warning seems to only indicate "this is an unusual pattern,
maybe you should check it out" rather than "this is a bug".I get 102(!) of these warnings with allyesconfig and the
__compiletime_object_size() gcc check removed. I don't know if there
are any real bugs hiding in there, but from looking at a small
sample, I didn't see any. According to Kees, it does sometimes find
real bugs. But the false positive rate seems high.3) "Buffer overflow detected" runtime warning
This is a runtime warning where object size is const, and copy size >
object size.All three warnings (both static and runtime) were completely disabled
for gcc 4.6 with the following commit:2fb0815c9ee6 ("gcc4: disable __compiletime_object_size for GCC 4.6+")
That commit mistakenly assumed that the false positives were caused by a
gcc bug in __compiletime_object_size(). But in fact,
__compiletime_object_size() seems to be working fine. The false
positives were instead triggered by #2 above. (Though I don't have an
explanation for why the warnings supposedly only started showing up in
gcc 4.6.)So remove warning #2 to get rid of all the false positives, and re-enable
warnings #1 and #3 by reverting the above commit.Furthermore, since #1 is a real bug which is detected at compile time,
upgrade it to always be an error.Having done all that, CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS is no longer
needed.Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf

As of now these default to calling the arch provided __copy_{to,from}_user()
routines which being general purpose (w.r.t buffer alignment and lengths)
would lead to alignment checks in generated code (for arches which don't
support unaligned load/stores).Given that in this case we already know that data involved is "unit"
sized and aligned, using the vanilla copy backend is a bit wasteful.This change thus allows arches to over-ride the aforementioned routines.

The existing __strnlen_user macro simply resolved to strnlen. However, the
count returned by strnlen_user should include the NULL byte. This patch
fixes the __strnlen_user macro to include the NULL byte in the count.Signed-off-by: Mark Salter

This patch changes the implementation of strnlen_user in include/asm-generic/uaccess.h.
Originally, it calls strlen() function directly, which may not correctly handle the access of
user space in most mmu-enabled architectures.
New __strnlen_user is added for using as an architecture specific function.Signed-off-by: Guan Xuetao

There's no reason that I can see to use the short __access_ok() form
directly when the access_ok() is clearer in intent and for most people,
expands to the same C code (i.e. always specify the first field -- access
type). Not all no-mmu systems lack memory protection, so the read/write
could feasibly be checked.Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger

The strnlen_user() function was missing a access_ok() check on the pointer
given. We've had cases on Blackfin systems where test programs caused
kernel crashes here because userspace passed up a NULL/-1 pointer and the
kernel gladly attempted to run strlen() on it.Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger

Based on discussions with Michal Simek and code
from m68knommu and h8300, this version of uaccess.h
should be usable by most architectures, by overriding
some parts of it.Simple NOMMU architectures can use it out of
the box, but a minimal __access_ok() should be
added there as well.Cc: Michal Simek

The current asm-generic/page.h only contains the get_order
function, and asm-generic/uaccess.h only implements
unaligned accesses. This renames the file to getorder.h
and uaccess-unaligned.h to make room for new page.h
and uaccess.h file that will be usable by all simple
(e.g. nommu) architectures.Signed-off-by: Remis Lima Baima

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!
