powerpc: Remove -Wattribute-alias pragmas

2018-06-25T14:21:13+00:00

With SYSCALL_DEFINEx() disabling -Wattribute-alias generically, there's
no need to duplicate that for PowerPC syscalls.

This reverts commit 415520373975 ("powerpc: fix build failure by
disabling attribute-alias warning in pci_32") and commit 2479bfc9bc60
("powerpc: Fix build by disabling attribute-alias warning for
SYSCALL_DEFINEx").

powerpc: Fix build by disabling attribute-alias warning for SYSCALL_DEFINEx

2018-06-03T10:40:24+00:00

GCC 8.1 emits warnings such as the following. As arch/powerpc code is
built with -Werror, this breaks the build with GCC 8.1.

  In file included from arch/powerpc/kernel/pci_64.c:23:
  ./include/linux/syscalls.h:233:18: error: 'sys_pciconfig_iobase' alias
  between functions of incompatible types 'long int(long int, long
  unsigned int, long unsigned int)' and 'long int(long int, long int,
  long int)' [-Werror=attribute-alias]
    asmlinkage long sys##name(__MAP(x,__SC_DECL,__VA_ARGS__)) \
                    ^~~
  ./include/linux/syscalls.h:222:2: note: in expansion of macro '__SYSCALL_DEFINEx'
    __SYSCALL_DEFINEx(x, sname, __VA_ARGS__)

This patch inhibits those warnings.

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/sparc-next

2018-04-03T21:08:58+00:00

Pull sparc updates from David Miller:

 1) Add support for ADI (Application Data Integrity) found in more
    recent sparc64 cpus. Essentially this is keyed based access to
    virtual memory, and if the key encoded in the virual address is
    wrong you get a trap.

    The mm changes were reviewed by Andrew Morton and others.

    Work by Khalid Aziz.

 2) Validate DAX completion index range properly, from Rob Gardner.

 3) Add proper Kconfig deps for DAX driver. From Guenter Roeck.

  sparc64: Make atomic_xchg() an inline function rather than a macro.
  sparc64: Properly range check DAX completion index
  sparc: Make auxiliary vectors for ADI available on 32-bit as well

mm: add ksys_mmap_pgoff() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_mmap_pgoff()

2018-04-02T18:16:11+00:00

Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the
sys_mmap_pgoff() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is
meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the
same calling convention as sys_mmap_pgoff().

This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see

mm: add ksys_fadvise64_64() helper; remove in-kernel call to sys_fadvise64_64()

2018-04-02T18:16:10+00:00

Using the ksys_fadvise64_64() helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel
calls to the sys_fadvise64_64() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that
this function is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In
particular, it uses the same calling convention as ksys_fadvise64_64().

Some compat stubs called sys_fadvise64(), which then just passed through
the arguments to sys_fadvise64_64(). Get rid of this indirection, and call
ksys_fadvise64_64() directly.

This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.

mm: Add address parameter to arch_validate_prot()

2018-03-18T14:38:47+00:00

A protection flag may not be valid across entire address space and
hence arch_validate_prot() might need the address a protection bit is
being set on to ensure it is a valid protection flag. For example, sparc
processors support memory corruption detection (as part of ADI feature)
flag on memory addresses mapped on to physical RAM but not on PFN mapped
pages or addresses mapped on to devices. This patch adds address to the
parameters being passed to arch_validate_prot() so protection bits can
be validated in the relevant context.

powerpc/tracing: Allow tracing of mmap syscalls

2017-04-12T12:32:43+00:00

Currently sys_mmap() and sys_mmap2() (32-bit only), are not visible to the
syscall tracing machinery. This means users are not able to see the execution of
mmap() syscalls using the syscall tracer.

Fix that by using SYSCALL_DEFINE6 for sys_mmap() and sys_mmap2() so that the
meta-data associated with these syscalls is visible to the syscall tracer.

A side-effect of this change is that the return type has changed from unsigned
long to long. However this should have no effect, the only code in the kernel
which uses the result of these syscalls is in the syscall return path, which is
written in asm and treats the result as unsigned regardless.

Example output:
  cat-3399  [001] ....   196.542410: sys_mmap(addr: 7fff922a0000, len: 20000, prot: 3, flags: 812, fd: 3, offset: 1b0000)
  cat-3399  [001] ....   196.542443: sys_mmap -> 0x7fff922a0000
  cat-3399  [001] ....   196.542668: sys_munmap(addr: 7fff922c0000, len: 6d2c)
  cat-3399  [001] ....   196.542677: sys_munmap -> 0x0

Replace with globally

2016-12-24T19:46:01+00:00

This was entirely automated, using the script by Al:

  PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*'
  sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include !" \
        $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)

to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

powerpc: Add a proper syscall for switching endianness

2015-03-28T11:03:40+00:00

We currently have a "special" syscall for switching endianness. This is
syscall number 0x1ebe, which is handled explicitly in the 64-bit syscall
exception entry.

That has a few problems, firstly the syscall number is outside of the
usual range, which confuses various tools. For example strace doesn't
recognise the syscall at all.

Secondly it's handled explicitly as a special case in the syscall
exception entry, which is complicated enough without it.

As a first step toward removing the special syscall, we need to add a
regular syscall that implements the same functionality.

The logic is simple, it simply toggles the MSR_LE bit in the userspace
MSR. This is the same as the special syscall, with the caveat that the
special syscall clobbers fewer registers.

This version clobbers r9-r12, XER, CTR, and CR0-1,5-7.
