arch: add pidfd and io_uring syscalls everywhere

2019-04-15T14:31:17+00:00

Add the io_uring and pidfd_send_signal system calls to all architectures.

These system calls are designed to handle both native and compat tasks,
so all entries are the same across architectures, only arm-compat and
the generic tale still use an old format.

y2038: add 64-bit time_t syscalls to all 32-bit architectures

2019-02-06T23:13:28+00:00

This adds 21 new system calls on each ABI that has 32-bit time_t
today. All of these have the exact same semantics as their existing
counterparts, and the new ones all have macro names that end in 'time64'
for clarification.

This gets us to the point of being able to safely use a C library
that has 64-bit time_t in user space. There are still a couple of
loose ends to tie up in various areas of the code, but this is the
big one, and should be entirely uncontroversial at this point.

In particular, there are four system calls (getitimer, setitimer,
waitid, and getrusage) that don't have a 64-bit counterpart yet,
but these can all be safely implemented in the C library by wrapping
around the existing system calls because the 32-bit time_t they
pass only counts elapsed time, not time since the epoch. They
will be dealt with later.

y2038: rename old time and utime syscalls

2019-02-06T23:13:28+00:00

The time, stime, utime, utimes, and futimesat system calls are only
used on older architectures, and we do not provide y2038 safe variants
of them, as they are replaced by clock_gettime64, clock_settime64,
and utimensat_time64.

However, for consistency it seems better to have the 32-bit architectures
that still use them call the "time32" entry points (leaving the
traditional handlers for the 64-bit architectures), like we do for system
calls that now require two versions.

Note: We used to always define __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME and
__ARCH_WANT_SYS_UTIME and only set __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_TIME and
__ARCH_WANT_SYS_UTIME32 for compat mode on 64-bit kernels. Now this is
reversed: only 64-bit architectures set __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME/UTIME, while
we need __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME32/UTIME32 for 32-bit architectures and compat
mode. The resulting asm/unistd.h changes look a bit counterintuitive.

This is only a cleanup patch and it should not change any behavior.

y2038: use time32 syscall names on 32-bit

2019-02-06T23:13:28+00:00

This is the big flip, where all 32-bit architectures set COMPAT_32BIT_TIME
and use the _time32 system calls from the former compat layer instead
of the system calls that take __kernel_timespec and similar arguments.

The temporary redirects for __kernel_timespec, __kernel_itimerspec
and __kernel_timex can get removed with this.

It would be easy to split this commit by architecture, but with the new
generated system call tables, it's easy enough to do it all at once,
which makes it a little easier to check that the changes are the same
in each table.

ipc: rename old-style shmctl/semctl/msgctl syscalls

2019-01-25T16:22:50+00:00

The behavior of these system calls is slightly different between
architectures, as determined by the CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_IPC_PARSE_VERSION
symbol. Most architectures that implement the split IPC syscalls don't set
that symbol and only get the modern version, but alpha, arm, microblaze,
mips-n32, mips-n64 and xtensa expect the caller to pass the IPC_64 flag.

For the architectures that so far only implement sys_ipc(), i.e. m68k,
mips-o32, powerpc, s390, sh, sparc, and x86-32, we want the new behavior
when adding the split syscalls, so we need to distinguish between the
two groups of architectures.

The method I picked for this distinction is to have a separate system call
entry point: sys_old_*ctl() now uses ipc_parse_version, while sys_*ctl()
does not. The system call tables of the five architectures are changed
accordingly.

As an additional benefit, we no longer need the configuration specific
definition for ipc_parse_version(), it always does the same thing now,
but simply won't get called on architectures with the modern interface.

A small downside is that on architectures that do set
ARCH_WANT_IPC_PARSE_VERSION, we now have an extra set of entry points
that are never called. They only add a few bytes of bloat, so it seems
better to keep them compared to adding yet another Kconfig symbol.
I considered adding new syscall numbers for the IPC_64 variants for
consistency, but decided against that for now.

ARM: add kexec_file_load system call number

2019-01-25T16:22:50+00:00

A couple of architectures including arm64 already implement the
kexec_file_load system call, on many others we have assigned a system
call number for it, but not implemented it yet.

Adding the number in arch/arm/ lets us use the system call on arm64
systems in compat mode, and also reduces the number of differences
between architectures. If we want to implement kexec_file_load on ARM
in the future, the number assignment means that kexec tools can already
be built with the now current set of kernel headers.

ARM: add migrate_pages() system call

2019-01-25T16:22:43+00:00

The migrate_pages system call has an assigned number on all architectures
except ARM. When it got added initially in commit d80ade7b3231 ("ARM:
Fix warning: #warning syscall migrate_pages not implemented"), it was
intentionally left out based on the observation that there are no 32-bit
ARM NUMA systems.

However, there are now arm64 NUMA machines that can in theory run 32-bit
kernels (actually enabling NUMA there would require additional work)
as well as 32-bit user space on 64-bit kernels, so that argument is no
longer very strong.

Assigning the number lets us use the system call on 64-bit kernels as well
as providing a more consistent set of syscalls across architectures.

kbuild: remove redundant target cleaning on failure

2019-01-06T00:46:51+00:00

Since commit 9c2af1c7377a ("kbuild: add .DELETE_ON_ERROR special
target"), the target file is automatically deleted on failure.

The boilerplate code

  ... || { rm -f $@; false; }

is unneeded.

arm: Wire up restartable sequences system call

2018-06-06T09:58:31+00:00

Wire up the rseq system call on 32-bit ARM.

This provides an ABI improving the speed of a user-space getcpu
operation on ARM by skipping the getcpu system call on the fast path, as
well as improving the speed of user-space operations on per-cpu data
compared to using load-linked/store-conditional.
