compat: move compat_siginfo_t definition to asm/compat.h

2012-10-05T18:05:16+00:00

This is a preparatory patch for the introduction of NT_SIGINFO elf note.

Make the location of compat_siginfo_t uniform across eight architectures
which have it.  Now it can be pulled in by including asm/compat.h or
linux/compat.h.

Most of the copies are verbatim.  compat_uid[32]_t had to be replaced by
__compat_uid[32]_t.  compat_uptr_t had to be moved up before
compat_siginfo_t in asm/compat.h on a several architectures (tile already
had it moved up).  compat_sigval_t had to be relocated from linux/compat.h
to asm/compat.h.

arch/tile: support header for cacheflush() syscall

2012-05-25T16:48:24+00:00

We already had a syscall that did some dcache flushing, but it was
not used in practice.  Make it MIPS compatible instead so it can
do both the DCACHE and ICACHE actions.  We have code that wants to
be able to use the ICACHE flush mode from userspace so this change
enables that.

[PATCH v3] ipc: provide generic compat versions of IPC syscalls

2012-03-15T17:13:38+00:00

When using the "compat" APIs, architectures will generally want to
be able to make direct syscalls to msgsnd(), shmctl(), etc., and
in the kernel we would want them to be handled directly by
compat_sys_xxx() functions, as is true for other compat syscalls.

However, for historical reasons, several of the existing compat IPC
syscalls do not do this.  semctl() expects a pointer to the fourth
argument, instead of the fourth argument itself.  msgsnd(), msgrcv()
and shmat() expect arguments in different order.

This change adds an ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC config option that can be
set to preserve this behavior for ports that use it (x86, sparc, powerpc,
s390, and mips).  No actual semantics are changed for those architectures,
and there is only a minimal amount of code refactoring in ipc/compat.c.

Newer architectures like tile (and perhaps future architectures such
as arm64 and unicore64) should not select this option, and thus can
avoid having any IPC-specific code at all in their architecture-specific
compat layer.  In the same vein, if this option is not selected, IPC_64
mode is assumed, since that's what the  headers expect.

The workaround code in "tile" for msgsnd() and msgrcv() is removed
with this change; it also fixes the bug that shmat() and semctl() were
not being properly handled.

arch/tile: finish enabling support for TILE-Gx 64-bit chip

2011-05-12T19:52:12+00:00

This support was partially present in the existing code (look for
"__tilegx__" ifdefs) but with this change you can build a working
kernel using the TILE-Gx toolchain and ARCH=tilegx.

Most of these files are new, generally adding a foo_64.c file
where previously there was just a foo_32.c file.

The ARCH=tilegx directive redirects to arch/tile, not arch/tilegx,
using the existing SRCARCH mechanism in the top-level Makefile.

Changes to existing files:

-  and  changed to factor the
  include of  in the common header.

-  and arch/tile/kernel/compat.c changed to remove
  the "const" markers I had put on compat_sys_execve() when trying
  to match some recent similar changes to the non-compat execve.
  It turns out the compat version wasn't "upgraded" to use const.

-  and  were
  previously included accidentally, with the 32-bit contents.  Now
  they have the proper 64-bit contents.

Finally, I had to hack the existing hacky drivers/input/input-compat.h
to add yet another "#ifdef" for INPUT_COMPAT_TEST (same as x86_64).

arch/tile: Use

2010-10-14T18:34:33+00:00

With this change we now include  into the "tile"
version of the header.  To take full advantage of the prototypes there,
we also change our naming convention for "struct pt_regs *" syscalls so
that, e.g., _sys_execve() is the "true" syscall entry, which sets the
appropriate register to point to the pt_regs before calling sys_execve().

While doing this I realized I no longer needed the fork and vfork
entry point stubs, since those functions aren't in the generic
syscall ABI, so I removed them as well.

Merge branch 'stable' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile

2010-09-16T19:54:54+00:00

* 'stable' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile:
  arch/tile: fix formatting bug in register dumps
  arch/tile: fix memcpy_fromio()/memcpy_toio() signatures
  arch/tile: Save and restore extra user state for tilegx
  arch/tile: Change struct sigcontext to be more useful
  arch/tile: finish const-ifying sys_execve()

arch/tile: finish const-ifying sys_execve()

2010-09-15T15:16:05+00:00

The sys_execve() implementation was properly const-ified but not
the declaration, the syscall wrappers, or the compat version.
This change completes the constification process.

compat: Make compat_alloc_user_space() incorporate the access_ok()

2010-09-14T23:08:45+00:00

compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call
access_ok() to verify the returned area.  A missing call could
introduce problems on some architectures.

This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into
compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length.
The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed
arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the
implementation of the new global function.

This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either
fail or access userspace on all architectures.  This should be
followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space()
for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers
can also be removed.

arch/tile: Miscellaneous cleanup changes.

2010-07-06T17:41:51+00:00

This commit is primarily changes caused by reviewing "sparse"
and "checkpatch" output on our sources, so is somewhat noisy, since
things like "printk() -> pr_err()" (or whatever) throughout the
codebase tend to get tedious to read.  Rather than trying to tease
apart precisely which things changed due to which type of code
review, this commit includes various cleanups in the code:

- sparse: Add declarations in headers for globals.
- sparse: Fix __user annotations.
- sparse: Using gfp_t consistently instead of int.
- sparse: removing functions not actually used.
- checkpatch: Clean up printk() warnings by using pr_info(), etc.;
  also avoid partial-line printks except in bootup code.
  - checkpatch: Use exposed structs rather than typedefs.
  - checkpatch: Change some C99 comments to C89 comments.

In addition, a couple of minor other changes are rolled in
to this commit:

- Add support for a "raise" instruction to cause SIGFPE, etc., to be raised.
- Remove some compat code that is unnecessary when we fully eliminate
  some of the deprecated syscalls from the generic syscall ABI.
- Update the tile_defconfig to reflect current config contents.
