syscalls: Remove start and number from syscall_set_arguments() args

2019-04-05T13:27:23+00:00

After removing the start and count arguments of syscall_get_arguments() it
seems reasonable to remove them from syscall_set_arguments(). Note, as of
today, there are no users of syscall_set_arguments(). But we are told that
there will be soon. But for now, at least make it consistent with
syscall_get_arguments().

syscalls: Remove start and number from syscall_get_arguments() args

2019-04-05T13:26:43+00:00

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.

KVM: export and iif KVM is supported

2019-03-28T16:27:42+00:00

I do not see any consistency about headers_install of 
and .

According to my analysis of Linux 5.1-rc1, there are 3 groups:

 [1] Both  and  are exported

    alpha, arm, hexagon, mips, powerpc, s390, sparc, x86

 [2]  is exported, but  is not

    arc, arm64, c6x, h8300, ia64, m68k, microblaze, nios2, openrisc,
    parisc, sh, unicore32, xtensa

 [3] Neither  nor  is exported

    csky, nds32, riscv

This does not match to the actual KVM support. At least, [2] is
half-baked.

Nor do arch maintainers look like they care about this. For example,
commit 0add53713b1c ("microblaze: Add missing kvm_para.h to Kbuild")
exported  to user-space in order to fix an in-kernel
build error.

We have two ways to make this consistent:

 [A] export both  and  for all
     architectures, irrespective of the KVM support

 [B] Match the header export of  and 
     to the KVM support

My first attempt was [A] because the code looks cleaner, but Paolo
suggested [B].

So, this commit goes with [B].

For most architectures,  was moved to the kernel-space.
I changed include/uapi/linux/Kbuild so that it checks generated
asm/kvm_para.h as well as check-in ones.

After this commit, there will be two groups:

 [1] Both  and  are exported

    arm, arm64, mips, powerpc, s390, x86

 [2] Neither  nor  is exported

    alpha, arc, c6x, csky, h8300, hexagon, ia64, m68k, microblaze,
    nds32, nios2, openrisc, parisc, riscv, sh, sparc, unicore32, xtensa

kbuild: force all architectures except um to include mandatory-y

2019-03-17T03:56:32+00:00

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.

configs: get rid of obsolete CONFIG_ENABLE_WARN_DEPRECATED

2019-03-08T02:32:02+00:00

This Kconfig option was removed during v4.19 development in commit
771c035372a0 ("deprecate the '__deprecated' attribute warnings entirely
and for good") so there's no point to keep it in defconfigs any longer.

FWIW defconfigs were patched with:
--------------------------->8----------------------
find . -name *_defconfig -exec sed -i '/CONFIG_ENABLE_WARN_DEPRECATED/d' {} \;
--------------------------->8----------------------

Rather than flush the TLB entry when installing a new PTE to allow
the fast TLB reload to re-fill the TLB, just refill the TLB entry
when removing the old one.
