3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Will Deacon <[email protected]> commit 1aa2b3b7a6c4f3dbd3671171113a20e6a6190e3b upstream. Running an OABI_COMPAT kernel on an SMP platform can lead to fun and games with page aging. If one CPU issues a swi instruction immediately before another CPU decides to mkold the page containing the swi instruction, then we will fault attempting to load the instruction during the vector_swi handler in order to retrieve its immediate field. Since this fault is not currently dealt with by our exception tables, this results in a panic: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 4020841c pgd = c490c000 [4020841c] *pgd=84451831, *pte=bf05859d, *ppte=00000000 Internal error: Oops: 17 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM Modules linked in: hid_sony(O) CPU: 1 Tainted: G W O (3.4.0-perf-gf496dca-01162-gcbcc62b #1) PC is at vector_swi+0x28/0x88 LR is at 0x40208420 This patch wraps all of the swi instruction loads with the USER macro and provides a shared exception table entry which simply rewinds the saved user PC and returns from the system call (without setting tbl, so there's no worries with tracing or syscall restarting). Returning to userspace will re-enter the page fault handler, from where we will probably send SIGSEGV to the current task.
