cpumask: make cpumask_size() return "unsigned int"

2018-02-07T02:32:45+00:00

CPUmasks are never big enough to warrant 64-bit code.

Space savings:

signal: replace sigset_to_compat() with put_compat_sigset()

2017-09-19T21:55:54+00:00

There are 4 callers of sigset_to_compat() in the entire kernel.  One is
in sparc compat rt_sigaction(2), the rest are in kernel/signal.c itself.
All are followed by copy_to_user(), and all but the sparc one are under
"if it's big-endian..." ifdefs.

Let's transform sigset_to_compat() into put_compat_sigset() that also
calls copy_to_user().

2017-07-07T03:57:13+00:00

Pull misc compat stuff updates from Al Viro:
 "This part is basically untangling various compat stuff. Compat
  syscalls moved to their native counterparts, getting rid of quite a
  bit of double-copying and/or set_fs() uses. A lot of field-by-field
  copyin/copyout killed off.

   - kernel/compat.c is much closer to containing just the
     copyin/copyout of compat structs. Not all compat syscalls are gone
     from it yet, but it's getting there.

   - ipc/compat_mq.c killed off completely.

   - block/compat_ioctl.c cleaned up; floppy compat ioctls moved to
     drivers/block/floppy.c where they belong. Yes, there are several
     drivers that implement some of the same ioctls. Some are m68k and
     one is 32bit-only pmac. drivers/block/floppy.c is the only one in
     that bunch that can be built on biarch"

Pull timer-related user access updates from Al Viro:
 "Continuation of timers-related stuff (there had been more, but my
  parts of that series are already merged via timers/core). This is more
  of y2038 work by Deepa Dinamani, partially disrupted by the
  unification of native and compat timers-related syscalls"

* 'timers-compat' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  posix_clocks: Use get_itimerspec64() and put_itimerspec64()
  timerfd: Use get_itimerspec64() and put_itimerspec64()

Pull wait syscall updates from Al Viro:
 "Consolidating sys_wait* and compat counterparts.

  Gets rid of set_fs()/double-copy mess, simplifies the whole thing
  (lifting the copyouts to the syscalls means less headache in the part
  that does actual work - fewer failure exits, to start with), gets rid
  of the overhead of field-by-field __put_user()"

* 'work.sys_wait' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  osf_wait4: switch to kernel_wait4()
  waitid(): switch copyout of siginfo to unsafe_put_user()
  wait_task_zombie: consolidate info logics
  kill wait_noreap_copyout()
  lift getrusage() from wait_noreap_copyout()
  waitid(2): leave copyout of siginfo to syscall itself
  kernel_wait4()/kernel_waitid(): delay copying status to userland
  wait4(2)/waitid(2): separate copying rusage to userland
  move compat wait4 and waitid next to native variants

time: introduce {get,put}_itimerspec64

2017-06-26T01:58:46+00:00

As we change the user space type for the timerfd and posix timer
functions to newer data types, we need some form of conversion
helpers to avoid duplicating that logic.
