From: Russell King Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2015 18:34:28 +0000 (+0100) Subject: ARM: remove user cmpxchg syscall X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=db695c0509d6ec9046ee5e4c520a19fa17d9fce2;p=linux-beck.git ARM: remove user cmpxchg syscall Mark Brand reports that a NEEDS_SYSCALL_FOR_CMPXCHG enabled kernel would open a security hole in the ghost syscall used to implement cmpxchg, as it fails to validate the user pointer. However, in order for this option to be enabled, you'd need to be building a pre-ARMv6 kernel with SMP support. There is only one system known which fits that, which is an early ARM SMP FPGA implementation based on the ARM926T. In any case, the Kconfig does not allow SMP to be enabled for pre-ARMv6 systems. Moreover, even if NEEDS_SYSCALL_FOR_CMPXCHG were to be enabled, the kernel would not build as __ARM_NR_cmpxchg64 is not defined. The simple answer is to remove the buggy code.
