y2038: globally rename compat_time to old_time32

2018-08-27T12:48:48Z

Christoph Hellwig suggested a slightly different path for handling backwards compatibility with the 32-bit time_t based system calls: Rather than simply reusing the compat_sys_* entry points on 32-bit architectures unchanged, we get rid of those entry points and the compat_time types by renaming them to something that makes more sense on 32-bit architectures (which don't have a compat mode otherwise), and then share the entry points under the new name with the 64-bit architectures that use them for implementing the compatibility. The following types and interfaces are renamed here, and moved from linux/compat_time.h to linux/time32.h: old new --- --- compat_time_t old_time32_t struct compat_timeval struct old_timeval32 struct compat_timespec struct old_timespec32 struct compat_itimerspec struct old_itimerspec32 ns_to_compat_timeval() ns_to_old_timeval32() get_compat_itimerspec64() get_old_itimerspec32() put_compat_itimerspec64() put_old_itimerspec32() compat_get_timespec64() get_old_timespec32() compat_put_timespec64() put_old_timespec32() As we already have aliases in place, this patch addresses only the instances that are relevant to the system call interface in particular, not those that occur in device drivers and other modules. Those will get handled separately, while providing the 64-bit version of the respective interfaces. I'm not renaming the timex, rusage and itimerval structures, as we are still debating what the new interface will look like, and whether we will need a replacement at all. This also doesn't change the names of the syscall entry points, which can be done more easily when we actually switch over the 32-bit architectures to use them, at that point we need to change COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx to SYSCALL_DEFINEx with a new name, e.g. with a _time32 suffix.

y2038: ipc: Redirect ipc(SEMTIMEDOP, ...) to compat_ksys_semtimedop

2018-04-20T14:20:30Z

32-bit architectures implementing 64BIT_TIME and COMPAT_32BIT_TIME need to have the traditional semtimedop() behavior with 32-bit timestamps for sys_ipc() by calling compat_ksys_semtimedop(), while those that are not yet converted need to keep using ksys_semtimedop() like 64-bit architectures do. Note that I chose to not implement a new SEMTIMEDOP64 function that corresponds to the new sys_semtimedop() with 64-bit timeouts. The reason here is that sys_ipc() should no longer be used for new system calls, and libc should just call the semtimedop syscall directly. One open question remain to whether we want to completely avoid the sys_ipc() system call for architectures that do not yet have all the individual calls as they get converted to 64-bit time_t. Doing that would require adding several extra system calls on m68k, mips, powerpc, s390, sh, sparc, and x86-32. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

ipc: add msgsnd syscall/compat_syscall wrappers

2018-04-02T18:15:28Z

Provide ksys_msgsnd() and compat_ksys_msgsnd() wrappers to avoid in-kernel calls to these syscalls. The ksys_ prefix denotes that these functions are meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscalls. In particular, they use the same calling convention as sys_msgsnd() and compat_sys_msgsnd(). This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.
