<content type='text'>
Define a weak function in COND_SYSCALL instead of a weak alias to
sys_ni_syscall(), which has an incompatible type. This fixes indirect
call mismatches with Control-Flow Integrity (CFI) checking.

x86 has special handling for COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx, but there was
no override for COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE0.  Wire it up so that we can
use it for rt_sigreturn.

Make the code in syscall_wrapper.h more readable by naming the stub macros
similar to the stub they provide. While at it, fix a stray newline at the
end of the __IA32_COMPAT_SYS_STUBx macro.

<title>syscalls/core, syscalls/x86: Rename struct pt_regs-based sys_*() to __x64_sys_*()</title>

<id>d5a00528b58cdb2c71206e18bd021e34c4eab878</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

<id>5ac9efa3c50d7caff9f3933bb8a3ad1139d92d92</id>
<content type='text'>
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().

denote that they are generated on-the-fly by the SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro.

For the generic case, this means (0xffffffff prefix removed):

 810f08d0 t     kernel_waitid	# common C function (see kernel/exit.c)

 &lt;inline&gt;     __do_sys_waitid	# inlined helper doing the actual work

For x86, the naming is as follows:

 &lt;inline&gt;     __do_sys_waitid	# inlined helper doing the actual work

For x86, sys_waitid() will be re-named to __x64_sys_waitid in a follow-up

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 SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro.

For the generic case, this means (0xffffffff prefix removed):

 810f08d0 t     kernel_waitid	# common C function (see kernel/exit.c)

 &lt;inline&gt;     __do_sys_waitid	# inlined helper doing the actual work

 810efc70 t     kernel_waitid	# common C function (see kernel/exit.c)

 &lt;inline&gt;     __do_sys_waitid	# inlined helper doing the actual work

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

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

Let's make use of ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER=y on pure 64-bit x86-64 systems:

Each syscall defines a stub which takes struct pt_regs as its only
argument. It decodes just those parameters it needs, e.g:

	asmlinkage long sys_xyzzy(const struct pt_regs *regs)
	{
		return SyS_xyzzy(regs-&gt;di, regs-&gt;si, regs-&gt;dx);
	}

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

For example, for sys_recv() which is a 4-parameter syscall, the assembly
now is (in slightly reordered fashion):

	&lt;sys_recv&gt;:
		callq	&lt;__fentry__&gt;

		/* decode regs-&gt;di, -&gt;si, -&gt;dx and -&gt;r10 */
		mov	0x70(%rdi),%rdi
		mov	0x68(%rdi),%rsi
		mov	0x60(%rdi),%rdx
		mov	0x38(%rdi),%rcx

		[ SyS_recv() is automatically inlined by the compiler,
		  as it is not [yet] used anywhere else ]
		/* clear %r9 and %r8, the 5th and 6th args */
		xor	%r9d,%r9d
		xor	%r8d,%r8d

		/* do the actual work */
		callq	__sys_recvfrom

		/* cleanup and return */
		cltq
		retq

The only valid place in an x86-64 kernel which rightfully calls
a syscall function on its own -- vsyscall -- needs to be modified
to pass struct pt_regs onwards as well.

To keep the syscall table generation working independent of
SYSCALL_PTREGS being enabled, the stubs are named the same as the
"original" syscall stubs, i.e. sys_*().

and was split up and heavily modified by me, in particular to base it on
ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER, to limit it to 64-bit-only for the time being,
and to update the vsyscall to the new calling convention.
