powerpc: Fix fallocate and fadvise64_64 compat parameter combination

2022-10-21T10:38:56+00:00

[ Upstream commit 016ff72bd2090903715c0f9422a44afbb966f4ee ]

As reported[1] by Arnd, the arch-specific fadvise64_64 and fallocate
compatibility handlers assume parameters are passed with 32-bit
big-endian ABI. This affects the assignment of odd-even parameter pairs
to the high or low words of a 64-bit syscall parameter.

Fix fadvise64_64 fallocate compat handlers to correctly swap upper/lower
32 bits conditioned on endianness.

A future patch will replace the arch-specific compat fallocate with an
asm-generic implementation. This patch is intended for ease of
back-port.

powerpc/compat_sys: swap hi/lo parts of 64-bit syscall args in LE mode

2021-02-11T12:35:07+00:00

Swap upper/lower 32 bits for 64-bit compat syscalls, conditioned on
endianness. This is modeled after the same functionality in
arch/mips/kernel/linux32.c.

This fixes compat_sys on ppc64le, when called by 32-bit little-endian
processes.

Tested with `file /bin/bash` (pread64) and `truncate -s 5G test`
(ftruncate64).

powerpc/syscalls: kill ppc32_select()

it had always been pointless - compat_sys_select() sign-extends
the first argument just fine on its own.

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()

Using the ksys_fadvise64_64() helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel

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.
