MIPS: Delete unused code in linux32.c

2018-08-01T20:20:27+00:00

The A() & AA() macros have been unused since commit 05e4396651ca
("[MIPS] Use SYSVIPC_COMPAT to fix various problems on N32"), which
switched to the more standard compat_ptr().

RLIM_INFINITY32, RESOURCE32() & struct rlimit32 have been present but
unused since the beginning of the git era.

Remove the dead code.

MIPS: Remove unused sys_32_mmap2

2018-08-01T20:20:21+00:00

The sys_32_mmap2 function has been unused since we started using syscall
wrappers in commit dbda6ac08976 ("MIPS: CVE-2009-0029: Enable syscall
wrappers."), and is indeed identical to the sys_mips_mmap2 function that
replaced it in sys32_call_table.

Remove the dead code.

mm: add ksys_readahead() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_readahead()

2018-04-02T18:16:12+00:00

Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the
sys_readahead() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is
meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the
same calling convention as sys_readahead().

This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see

mm: add ksys_fadvise64_64() helper; remove in-kernel call to sys_fadvise64_64()

2018-04-02T18:16:10+00:00

Using the ksys_fadvise64_64() helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel
calls to the sys_fadvise64_64() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that
this function is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In
particular, it uses the same calling convention as ksys_fadvise64_64().

Some compat stubs called sys_fadvise64(), which then just passed through
the arguments to sys_fadvise64_64(). Get rid of this indirection, and call
ksys_fadvise64_64() directly.

This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
