With e.g. m68k/defconfig:

    mm/process_vm_access.c: In function ‘process_vm_rw’:
    mm/process_vm_access.c:277:5: error: implicit declaration of function ‘in_compat_syscall’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
      277 |     in_compat_syscall());
	  |     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fix this by adding #include &lt;linux/compat.h&gt;.

<content type='text'>
The removal of compat_process_vm_{readv,writev} didn't change
process_vm_rw(), which always assumes it's not doing a compat syscall.

Instead of passing in 'false' unconditionally for 'compat', make it
conditional on in_compat_syscall().

[ Both Al and Christoph point out that trying to access a 64-bit process
  from a 32-bit one cannot work anyway, and is likely better prohibited,
  but that's a separate issue    - Linus ]

<title>iov_iter: transparently handle compat iovecs in import_iovec</title>

<content type='text'>
Use in compat_syscall to import either native or the compat iovecs, and
remove the now superflous compat_import_iovec.

This removes the need for special compat logic in most callers, and
the remaining ones can still be simplified by using __import_iovec
with a bool compat parameter.

<title>iov_iter: refactor rw_copy_check_uvector and import_iovec</title>
<updated>2020-10-03T04:01:56Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Christoph Hellwig</name>

</author>
<published>2020-09-25T04:51:40Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.shady.money/linux/commit/?id=bfdc59701d6d100c99c3b987bcffd1c204e393c8'/>
<id>urn:sha1:bfdc59701d6d100c99c3b987bcffd1c204e393c8</id>
<content type='text'>
Split rw_copy_check_uvector into two new helpers with more sensible
calling conventions:

 - iovec_from_user copies a iovec from userspace either into the provided
   stack buffer if it fits, or allocates a new buffer for it.  Returns
   the actually used iovec.  It also verifies that iov_len does fit a
   signed type, and handles compat iovecs if the compat flag is set.
 - __import_iovec consolidates the native and compat versions of
   import_iovec. It calls iovec_from_user, then validates each iovec
   actually points to user addresses, and ensures the total length
   doesn't overflow.

This has two major implications:

 - the access_process_vm case loses the total lenght checking, which
   wasn't required anyway, given that each call receives two iovecs
   for the local and remote side of the operation, and it verifies
   the total length on the local side already.
 - instead of a single loop there now are two loops over the iovecs.
   Given that the iovecs are cache hot this doesn't make a major
   difference

locking API instead.

The change is generated using coccinelle with the following rule:

In order to provide a clearer, more symmetric API for pinning and
unpinning DMA pages.  This way, pin_user_pages*() calls match up with
unpin_user_pages*() calls, and the API is a lot closer to being
self-explanatory.

<content type='text'>
Convert process_vm_access to use the new pin_user_pages_remote() call,
which sets FOLL_PIN.  Setting FOLL_PIN is now required for code that
requires tracking of pinned pages.

Also, release the pages via put_user_page*().

Also, rename "pages" to "pinned_pages", as this makes for easier reading
of process_vm_rw_single_vec().
