tile: properly use COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx

2013-03-04T18:37:32Z

This was pointed out by Al Viro. Using the correct wrappers properly does sign extension as necessary on syscall arguments. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

tile: work around bug in the generic sys_llseek

2013-03-04T16:19:09Z

sys_llseek should specify the high and low 32-bit seek values as "unsigned int" but instead it specifies "unsigned long". Since compat syscall arguments are always sign-extended on tile, this means that a seek value of 0xffffffff will be incorrectly interpreted as a value of -1ULL. To avoid the risk of breaking binary compatibility on architectures that already use sys_llseek this way, we follow the same path as MIPS and provide a wrapper override.

compat: generic compat_sys_sched_rr_get_interval() implementation

2012-12-18T01:15:18Z

This function is used by sparc, powerpc tile and arm64 for compat support. The patch adds a generic implementation with a wrapper for PowerPC to do the u32->int sign extension. The reason for a single patch covering powerpc, tile, sparc and arm64 is to keep it bisectable, otherwise kernel building may fail with mismatched function declarations.

arch/tile: eliminate pt_regs trampolines for syscalls

2012-10-23T20:23:58Z

Using the new current_pt_regs() model, we can remove some trampolines from assembly code and call directly to the C syscall implementations. rt_sigreturn() and clone() still need some assembly wrapping, but no longer are passed a pt_regs pointer. sigaltstack() and the tilepro-specific cmpxchg_badaddr() syscalls are now just straight C.

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

2012-03-15T17:13:38Z

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: cleanups for tilegx compat mode

2011-05-20T02:56:13Z

These changes make the syscall table line up correctly for tilegx compat mode, and remove the stale sys32_fadvise64() function, which isn't actually used by any syscall table. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

compat: fixes to allow working with tile arch

2011-05-12T19:51:36Z

The existing mechanism doesn't really provide enough to create the 64-bit "compat" ABI properly in a generic way, since the compat ABI is a mix of things were you can re-use the 64-bit versions of syscalls and things where you need a compat wrapper. To provide this in the most direct way possible, I added two new macros to go along with the existing __SYSCALL and __SC_3264 macros: __SC_COMP and SC_COMP_3264. These macros take an additional argument, typically a "compat_sys_xxx" function, which is passed to __SYSCALL if you define __SYSCALL_COMPAT when including the header, resulting in a pointer to the compat function being placed in the generated syscall table. The change also adds some missing definitions to so that it actually has declarations for all the compat syscalls, since the "[nr] = ##call" approach requires proper C declarations for all the functions included in the syscall table. Finally, compat.c defines compat_sys_sigpending() and compat_sys_sigprocmask() even if the underlying architecture doesn't request it, which tries to pull in undefined compat_old_sigset_t defines. We need to guard those compat syscall definitions with appropriate __ARCH_WANT_SYS_xxx ifdefs. Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf
