<content type='text'>
At Linux Plumbers, Andy Lutomirski approached me and pointed out that the
function call syscall_get_arguments() implemented in x86 was horribly
written and not optimized for the standard case of passing in 0 and 6 for
the starting index and the number of system calls to get. When looking at
all the users of this function, I discovered that all instances pass in only
0 and 6 for these arguments. Instead of having this function handle
different cases that are never used, simply rewrite it to return the first 6
arguments of a system call.

This should help out the performance of tracing system calls by ptrace,
ftrace and perf.

Currently, every arch/*/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild explicitly includes
the common Kbuild.asm file. Factor out the duplicated include directives
to scripts/Makefile.asm-generic so that no architecture would opt out
of the mandatory-y mechanism.

um is not forced to include mandatory-y since it is a very exceptional
case which does not support UAPI.

<title>MIPS: Remove custom MIPS32 __kernel_fsid_t type</title>
<updated>2019-03-14T18:31:20+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Paul Burton</name>

<id>f6cab793d4a70808e4946baa8f5df4ea9adacc82</id>
<content type='text'>
For MIPS32 kernels we have a custom definition of __kernel_fsid_t. This
differs from the asm-generic version used by all other architectures &amp;
MIPS64 in one way - it declares the val field as an array of long,
rather than an array of int. Since int &amp; long have identical size &amp;
alignment when targeting MIPS32 anyway, this makes little sense.

Beyond the pointlessness this causes problems for code which prints
entries from the val array, for example the fanotify_encode_fid()
function [1]. If such code uses a format specified suited to an int then
it encounters compiler warnings when building for MIPS32, such as:

  In file included from include/linux/kernel.h:14:0,
                   from include/linux/list.h:9,
                   from include/linux/preempt.h:11,
                   from include/linux/spinlock.h:51,
                   from include/linux/fdtable.h:11,
                   from fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify.c:3:
  fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify.c: In function 'fanotify_encode_fid':
  include/linux/kern_levels.h:5:18: warning: format '%x' expects argument
    of type 'unsigned int', but argument 2 has type 'long int' [-Wformat=]

Remove the custom __kernel_fsid_t definition &amp; make use of the
asm-generic version which will have an identical layout in memory
anyway, in order to remove the inconsistency with other architectures.

One possible regression this could cause if is any code is attempting to
print entries from the val array with a long-sized format specifier, in
which case it would begin seeing compiler warnings when built against
kernel headers including this change. Since such code is exceedingly
rare, and would have to be MIPS32-specific to expect a long, this seems
to be a problem that it's extremely unlikely anyone will encounter.

    of type 'unsigned int', but argument 2 has type 'long int' [-Wformat=]

Remove the custom __kernel_fsid_t definition &amp; make use of the
asm-generic version which will have an identical layout in memory
anyway, in order to remove the inconsistency with other architectures.

One possible regression this could cause if is any code is attempting to
print entries from the val array with a long-sized format specifier, in
which case it would begin seeing compiler warnings when built against
kernel headers including this change. Since such code is exceedingly
rare, and would have to be MIPS32-specific to expect a long, this seems
to be a problem that it's extremely unlikely anyone will encounter.

<title>MIPS: Fix kernel crash for R6 in jump label branch function</title>

Insert Branch instruction instead of NOP to make sure assembler don't
patch code in forbidden slot. In jump label function, it might
be possible to patch Control Transfer Instructions(CTIs) into
forbidden slot, which will generate Reserved Instruction exception
in MIPS release 6.

<title>y2038: fix socket.h header inclusion</title>

Referencing the __kernel_long_t type caused some user space applications
to stop compiling when they had not already included linux/posix_types.h,
e.g.

s/multicast.c -o ext/sockets/multicast.lo
In file included from /builddir/build/BUILD/php-7.3.3/main/php.h:468,
                 from /builddir/build/BUILD/php-7.3.3/ext/sockets/sockets.c:27:
/builddir/build/BUILD/php-7.3.3/ext/sockets/sockets.c: In function 'zm_startup_sockets':
/builddir/build/BUILD/php-7.3.3/ext/sockets/sockets.c:776:40: error: '__kernel_long_t' undeclared (first use in this function)
  776 |  REGISTER_LONG_CONSTANT("SO_SNDTIMEO", SO_SNDTIMEO, CONST_CS | CONST_PERSISTENT);

It is safe to include that header here, since it only contains kernel
internal types that do not conflict with other user space types.

It's still possible that some related build failures remain, but those
are likely to be for code that is not already y2038 safe.
