arch: Register fchmodat2, usually as syscall 452

2023-07-27T10:25:35+00:00

This registers the new fchmodat2 syscall in most places as nuber 452,
with alpha being the exception where it's 562.  I found all these sites
by grepping for fspick, which I assume has found me everything.

powerpc/32: fix syscall wrappers with 64-bit arguments

2022-10-31T23:24:09+00:00

With the introduction of syscall wrappers all wrappers for syscalls with
64-bit arguments must be handled specially, not only those that have
unaligned 64-bit arguments. This left out the fallocate() and
sync_file_range2() syscalls.

powerpc/32: fix syscall wrappers with 64-bit arguments of unaligned register-pairs

2022-10-12T13:49:58+00:00

powerpc 32-bit system call (and function) calling convention for 64-bit
arguments requires the next available odd-pair (two sequential registers
with the first being odd-numbered) from the standard register argument
allocation.

The first argument register is r3, so a 64-bit argument that appears at
an even position in the argument list must skip a register (unless there
were preceding 64-bit arguments, which might throw things off). This
requires non-standard compat definitions to deal with the holes in the
argument register allocation.

With pt_regs syscall wrappers which use a standard mapper to map pt_regs
GPRs to function arguments, 32-bit kernels hit the same basic problem,
the standard definitions don't cope with the unused argument registers.

Fix this by having 32-bit kernels share those syscall definitions with
compat.

Thanks to Jason for spending a lot of time finding and bisecting this
and developing a trivial reproducer. The perfect bug report.

powerpc: Adopt SYSCALL_DEFINE for arch-specific syscall handlers

2022-09-28T09:22:08+00:00

Arch-specific implementations of syscall handlers are currently used
over generic implementations for the following reasons:

1. Semantics unique to powerpc
2. Compatibility syscalls require 'argument padding' to comply with
   64-bit argument convention in ELF32 abi.
3. Parameter types or order is different in other architectures.

These syscall handlers have been defined prior to this patch series
without invoking the SYSCALL_DEFINE or COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE macros with
custom input and output types. We remove every such direct definition in
favour of the aforementioned macros.

Also update syscalls.tbl in order to refer to the symbol names generated
by each of these macros. Since ppc64_personality can be called by both
64 bit and 32 bit binaries through compatibility, we must generate both
both compat_sys_ and sys_ symbols for this handler.

As an aside:
A number of architectures including arm and powerpc agree on an
alternative argument order and numbering for most of these arch-specific
handlers. A future patch series may allow for asm/unistd.h to signal
through its defines that a generic implementation of these syscall
handlers with the correct calling convention be emitted, through the
__ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_... convention.

powerpc/32: Remove powerpc select specialisation

2022-09-26T13:00:15+00:00

Syscall #82 has been implemented for 32-bit platforms in a unique way on
powerpc systems. This hack will in effect guess whether the caller is
expecting new select semantics or old select semantics. It does so via a
guess, based off the first parameter. In new select, this parameter
represents the length of a user-memory array of file descriptors, and in
old select this is a pointer to an arguments structure.

The heuristic simply interprets sufficiently large values of its first
parameter as being a call to old select. The following is a discussion
on how this syscall should be handled.


As discussed in this thread, the existence of such a hack suggests that for
whatever powerpc binaries may predate glibc, it is most likely that they
would have taken use of the old select semantics. x86 and arm64 both
implement this syscall with oldselect semantics.

Remove the powerpc implementation, and update syscall.tbl to refer to emit
a reference to sys_old_select and compat_sys_old_select
for 32-bit binaries, in keeping with how other architectures support
syscall #82.
