[PATCH v3 2/3] arm64: compat: Split the sigreturn trampolines and kuser helpers (assembler sources)

From: Mark Salyzyn
Date: Mon Sep 11 2017 - 11:28:01 EST


From: Kevin Brodsky <kevin.brodsky@xxxxxxx>

AArch32 processes are currently installed a special [vectors] page that
contains the sigreturn trampolines and the kuser helpers, at the fixed
address mandated by the kuser helpers ABI.

Having both functionalities in the same page has become problematic,
because:

* It makes it impossible to disable the kuser helpers (the sigreturn
trampolines cannot be removed), which is possible on arm.

* A future 32-bit vDSO would provide the sigreturn trampolines itself,
making those in [vectors] redundant.

This patch addresses the problem by moving the sigreturn trampolines
sources to its own file. Wrapped the comments to reduce the wrath of
checkpatch.pl.

v2:
- split off from previous v1 'arm64: compat: Add CONFIG_KUSER_HELPERS'
- adjust makefile so one line for each of the assembler source modules

v3:
- rebase

* AArch32 user helpers.

- * Each segment is 32-byte aligned and will be moved to the top of the high
- * vector page. New segments (if ever needed) must be added in front of

- * really small and justified, and not be abused freely.
+ * These helpers are provided for compatibility with AArch32 binaries that

* See Documentation/arm/kernel_user_helpers.txt for formal definitions.
