compat: Cleanup in_compat_syscall() callers

2018-11-01T12:02:21Z

Now that in_compat_syscall() is consistent on all architectures and does not longer report true on native i686, the workarounds (ifdeffery and helpers) can be removed.

y2038: __get_old_timespec32() can be static

2018-08-29T13:42:19Z

The kbuild test robot reports two new warnings with the previous patch: kernel/time/time.c:866:5: sparse: symbol '__get_old_timespec32' was not declared. Should it be static? kernel/time/time.c:882:5: sparse: symbol '__put_old_timespec32' was not declared. Should it be static? These are actually older bugs, but came up now after the symbol got renamed. Fortunately, commit afef05cf238c ("time: Enable get/put_compat_itimerspec64 always") makes the two functions (__compat_get_timespec64/__compat_get_timespec64) local to time.c already, so we can mark them as 'static'.

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: make do_gettimeofday() and get_seconds() inline

2018-08-27T12:45:58Z

get_seconds() and do_gettimeofday() are only used by a few modules now any more (waiting for the respective patches to get accepted), and they are among the last holdouts of code that is not y2038 safe in the core kernel. Move the implementation into the timekeeping32.h header to clean up the core kernel and isolate the old interfaces further. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

y2038: remove unused time interfaces

2018-08-27T10:59:56Z

After many small patches, at least some of the deprecated interfaces have no remaining users any more and can be removed: current_kernel_time do_settimeofday get_monotonic_boottime get_monotonic_boottime64 get_monotonic_coarse get_monotonic_coarse64 getrawmonotonic64 ktime_get_real_ts timekeeping_clocktai timespec_trunc timespec_valid_strict time_to_tm For many of the remaining time functions, we are missing one or two patches that failed to make it into 4.19, they will be removed in the following merge window. The replacement functions for the removed interfaces are documented in Documentation/core-api/timekeeping.rst. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

Merge branch 'fortglx/4.19/time' of https://git.linaro.org/people/john.stultz/linux into timers/core

2018-07-12T20:19:58Z

Pull timekeeping updates from John Stultz: - Make the timekeeping update more precise when NTP frequency is set directly by updating the multiplier. - Adjust selftests

time: Enable get/put_compat_itimerspec64 always

2018-06-24T12:39:47Z

This will aid in enabling the compat syscalls on 32-bit architectures later on. Also move compat_itimerspec and related defines to compat_time.h. The compat_time.h file will eventually be deleted.

time: Introduce struct __kernel_itimerspec

2018-06-24T12:39:46Z

struct itimerspec is not y2038-safe. Introduce a new struct __kernel_itimerspec based on the kernel internal y2038-safe struct itimerspec64. The definition of struct __kernel_itimerspec includes two struct __kernel_timespec. Since struct __kernel_timespec has the same representation in native and compat modes, so does struct __kernel_itimerspec. This helps have a common entry point for syscalls using struct __kernel_itimerspec. New y2038-safe syscalls will use this new type. Since most of the new syscalls are just an update to the native syscalls with the type update, place the new definition under CONFIG_64BIT_TIME. This helps architectures that do not support the above config to keep using the old definition of struct itimerspec. Also change the get/put_itimerspec64 to use struct__kernel_itimerspec. This will help 32 bit architectures to use the new syscalls when architectures select CONFIG_64BIT_TIME.

time: Make sure jiffies_to_msecs() preserves non-zero time periods

2018-06-22T15:48:36Z

For the common cases where 1000 is a multiple of HZ, or HZ is a multiple of 1000, jiffies_to_msecs() never returns zero when passed a non-zero time period. However, if HZ > 1000 and not an integer multiple of 1000 (e.g. 1024 or 1200, as used on alpha and DECstation), jiffies_to_msecs() may return zero for small non-zero time periods. This may break code that relies on receiving back a non-zero value. jiffies_to_usecs() does not need such a fix: one jiffy can only be less than one µs if HZ > 1000000, and such large values of HZ are already rejected at build time, twice: - include/linux/jiffies.h does #error if HZ >= 12288, - kernel/time/time.c has BUILD_BUG_ON(HZ > USEC_PER_SEC). Broken since forever.

time: Use ktime_get_real_seconds() in time syscall

2018-06-19T07:56:26Z

Both get_seconds() and do_gettimeofday() are deprecated. Change the time() implementation to use the replacement function instead. Obviously the system call will still overflow in 2038, but this gets us closer to removing the old helper functions.
