Date: Sun, 19 Aug 2012 20:58:38 -0700 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, stable@...r.kernel.org Cc: Greg KH <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>, torvalds@...ux-foundation.org, akpm@...ux-foundation.org, alan@...rguk.ukuu.org.uk, Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@...ibm.com>, Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@...ibm.com> Subject: [ 02/46] s390/compat: fix mmap compat system calls From: Greg KH <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> 3.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@...ibm.com> commit e85871218513c54f7dfdb6009043cb638f2fecbe upstream. The native 31 bit and the compat behaviour for the mmap system calls differ: In native 31 bit mode the passed in address for the mmap system call will be unmodified passed to sys_mmap_pgoff(). In compat mode however the passed in address will be modified with compat_ptr() which masks out the most significant bit. The result is that in native 31 bit mode each mmap request (with MAP_FIXED) will fail where the most significat bit is set, while in compat mode it may succeed. This odd behaviour was introduced with d3815898 "[S390] mmap: add missing compat_ptr conversion to both mmap compat syscalls". To restore a consistent behaviour accross native and compat mode this patch functionally reverts the above mentioned commit.
