sh: Remove signal translation and exec_domain

2015-04-12T18:58:25+00:00

As execution domain support is gone we can remove
signal translation from the signal code and remove
exec_domain from thread_info.

all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct

2015-02-13T02:54:12+00:00

If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target.  This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.

Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.

Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.

It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

sanitize tsk_is_polling()

2012-10-01T13:58:13+00:00

Make default just return 0.  The current default (checking
TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG) is taken to architectures that need it;
ones that don't do polling in their idle threads don't need
to defined TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG at all.

ia64 defined both TS_POLLING (used by its tsk_is_polling())
and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG (not used at all).  Killed the latter...

2012-05-14T05:57:28+00:00

This provides a simple interface modelled after sparc64/m32r to encode
the error code in the upper byte of thread_info for finer-grained
handling in the page fault path.

sh-use-common-threadinfo-allocator

2012-05-08T12:08:45+00:00

The core now has a threadinfo allocator which uses a kmemcache when
THREAD_SIZE < PAGE_SIZE.

Deal with the xstate cleanup in the new arch_release_task_struct()
function.
