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.

Pull tile arch update from Chris Metcalf: "The bulk of this change is the tile uapi disintegration. There is also a one-line change in here to enable interrupts in do_work_pending() to avoid a WARN_ON in _local_bh_enable_ip()." * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile: arch/tile: enable interrupts in do_work_pending() UAPI: (Scripted) Disintegrate arch/tile/include/asm UAPI: (Scripted) Disintegrate arch/tile/include/arch

vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return it

2012-10-13T00:14:55Z

getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to the string. For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled, we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not need to recopy it from userspace. This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it. Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes convenient. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton Signed-off-by: Al Viro
