This rename allows us to have a coherent syscall stub naming convention on
64-bit x86 (0xffffffff prefix removed):

 810f0af0 t            kernel_waitid	# common (32/64) kernel helper

 &lt;inline&gt;            __do_sys_waitid	# inlined helper doing actual work
 810f0be0 t          __se_sys_waitid	# C func calling inlined helper

 &lt;inline&gt;     __do_compat_sys_waitid	# inlined helper doing actual work
 810f0d80 t   __se_compat_sys_waitid	# compat C func calling inlined helper

 810f2080 T         __x64_sys_waitid	# x64 64-bit-ptregs -&gt; C stub
 810f20b0 T        __ia32_sys_waitid	# ia32 32-bit-ptregs -&gt; C stub[*]
 810f2470 T __ia32_compat_sys_waitid	# ia32 32-bit-ptregs -&gt; compat C stub
 810f2490 T  __x32_compat_sys_waitid	# x32 64-bit-ptregs -&gt; compat C stub

    [*] This stub is unused, as the syscall table links
	__ia32_compat_sys_waitid instead of __ia32_sys_waitid as we need
	a compat variant here.

Tidy the naming convention for compat syscall subs. Hints which describe
the purpose of the stub go in front and receive a double underscore to
denote that they are generated on-the-fly by the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx()
macro.

For the generic case, this means:

t            kernel_waitid	# common C function (see kernel/exit.c)

    __do_compat_sys_waitid	# inlined helper doing the actual work
				# (takes original parameters as declared)

T   __se_compat_sys_waitid	# sign-extending C function calling inlined
				# helper (takes parameters of type long,
				# casts them to unsigned long and then to
				# the declared type)

T        compat_sys_waitid      # alias to __se_compat_sys_waitid()
				# (taking parameters as declared), to
				# be included in syscall table

For x86, the naming is as follows:

t            kernel_waitid	# common C function (see kernel/exit.c)

    __do_compat_sys_waitid	# inlined helper doing the actual work
				# (takes original parameters as declared)

t   __se_compat_sys_waitid      # sign-extending C function calling inlined
				# helper (takes parameters of type long,
				# casts them to unsigned long and then to
				# the declared type)

T __ia32_compat_sys_waitid	# IA32_EMULATION 32-bit-ptregs -&gt; C stub,
				# calls __se_compat_sys_waitid(); to be
				# included in syscall table

T  __x32_compat_sys_waitid	# x32 64-bit-ptregs -&gt; C stub, calls
				# __se_compat_sys_waitid(); to be included
				# in syscall table

If only one of IA32_EMULATION and x32 is enabled, __se_compat_sys_waitid()
may be inlined into the stub __{ia32,x32}_compat_sys_waitid().

<title>syscalls/x86: Use 'struct pt_regs' based syscall calling for IA32_EMULATION and x32</title>

<id>ebeb8c82ffaf94435806ff0b686fffd41dd410b5</id>
<content type='text'>
Extend ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER for i386 emulation and for x32 on 64-bit
x86.

For x32, all we need to do is to create an additional stub for each
compat syscall which decodes the parameters in x86-64 ordering, e.g.:

	asmlinkage long __compat_sys_x32_xyzzy(struct pt_regs *regs)
	{
		return c_SyS_xyzzy(regs-&gt;di, regs-&gt;si, regs-&gt;dx);
	}

For i386 emulation, we need to teach compat_sys_*() to take struct
pt_regs as its only argument, e.g.:

	asmlinkage long __compat_sys_ia32_xyzzy(struct pt_regs *regs)
	{
		return c_SyS_xyzzy(regs-&gt;bx, regs-&gt;cx, regs-&gt;dx);
	}

In addition, we need to create additional stubs for common syscalls
(that is, for syscalls which have the same parameters on 32-bit and
64-bit), e.g.:

	asmlinkage long __sys_ia32_xyzzy(struct pt_regs *regs)
	{
		return c_sys_xyzzy(regs-&gt;bx, regs-&gt;cx, regs-&gt;dx);
	}

This approach avoids leaking random user-provided register content down
the call chain.

This patch is based on an original proof-of-concept

While sys32_quotactl() is only needed on x86, it can use the recommended
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() machinery for its setup.

compat_sys_x86_waitpid() is not needed, as it takes the same parameters
(int, *int, int) as the native syscall.

<title>x86/entry: Do not special-case clone(2) in compat entry</title>

With the CPU renaming registers on its own, and all the overhead of the
syscall entry/exit, it is doubtful whether the compiled output of

	mov	%r8, %rax
	mov	%rcx, %r8
	mov	%rax, %rcx
	jmpq	sys_clone

is measurably slower than the hand-crafted version of

	xchg	%r8, %rcx

So get rid of this special case.

While at it, convert declarations of type "unsigned" to "unsigned int".

If the compat entry point is equivalent to the native entry point, it
does not need to be specified explicitly.
