2017-05-18doc: ReSTify no_new_privs.txtKees Cook1-57/+0
This updates no_new_privs documentation to ReST markup and adds it to the user-space API documentation. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2017-05-18doc: ReSTify seccomp_filter.txtKees Cook1-225/+0
This updates seccomp_filter.txt for ReST markup, and moves it under the user-space API index, since it describes how application author can use seccomp. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2016-09-20selftests: move prctl tests from Documentation/prctlShuah Khan5-301/+0
Move prctl tests from Documentation/prctl to selftests/prctl. Remove prctl from Makefile to move the test. Update prctl Makefile to work under selftests. prctl will not be run as part of selftests suite and will not be included in install targets. They can be built separately for now.

2016-02-17Documentation: Fix int/unsigned int comparisonMahesh Khanwalkar3-3/+3
Signed int - unsigned int comparison fixed in mpssd, prctl, ptp, and timers in Documentation. In places where 'int argc' and 'const char **argv' are not used, they are replaced with void Documentation/mic/mpssd/mpssd.c: Fixed comparison in sum_iovec_len and disp_iovec Documentation/prctl/disable-tsc-ctxt-sw-stress-test.c: main signature changed to void, as parameters 'argc' and 'argv' are never used Documentation/prctl/disable-tsc-on-off-stress-test.c: main signature changed to void Documentation/prctl/disable-tsc-test.c: main signature changed to void Documentation/ptp/testptp.c: Sign comparison fix Documentation/timers/hpet_example.c: Sign comparision fix Signed-off-by: Mahesh Khanwalkar <maheshkhanwalkar@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2015-06-22Documentation/prctl: don't build tsc tests when cross compilingPaul Gortmaker1-0/+2
The following was seen in linux-next build coverage, which is somewhat unique since it uses powerpc host to cross compile x86: Documentation/prctl/disable-tsc-on-off-stress-test.c:36:1: error: impossible register constraint in 'asm' Documentation/prctl/disable-tsc-ctxt-sw-stress-test.c:34:1: error: impossible register constraint in 'asm' Documentation/prctl/disable-tsc-test.c:36:1: error: impossible register constraint in 'asm' It probably makes sense to just skip building these tests when we are cross compiling.

2014-10-28Documentation: Restrict TSC test code to x86Alexander Graf1-1/+1
The prctl test code in Documentation/ tries to show how to use a call that only makes sense on x86. Restrict it there so that other platforms don't try to call asm("rdtsc").

2012-10-02seccomp: Make syscall skipping and nr changes more consistentAndy Lutomirski1-6/+68
This fixes two issues that could cause incompatibility between kernel versions: - If a tracer uses SECCOMP_RET_TRACE to select a syscall number higher than the largest known syscall, emulate the unknown vsyscall by returning -ENOSYS. (This is unlikely to make a noticeable difference on x86-64 due to the way the system call entry works.) - On x86-64 with vsyscall=emulate, skipped vsyscalls were buggy. This updates the documentation accordingly. Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Acked-by: Will Drewry <wad@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: James Morris <james.l.morris@oracle.com>
2012-07-08security: Minor improvements to no_new_privs documentationAndy Lutomirski1-0/+7
The documentation didn't actually mention how to enable no_new_privs. This also adds a note about possible interactions between no_new_privs and LSMs (i.e. why teaching systemd to set no_new_privs is not necessarily a good idea), and it references the new docs from include/linux/prctl.h.

2008-04-19generic, x86: add tests for prctl PR_GET_TSC and PR_SET_TSCErik Bosman3-0/+285
This patch adds three tests that test whether the PR_GET_TSC and PR_SET_TSC commands have the desirable effect. The tests check whether the control register is updated correctly at context switches and try to discover bugs while enabling/disabling the timestamp counter.
