fs/compat: fix lookup_dcookie() parameter handling

2014-02-13T21:55:31+00:00

commit d8d14bd09cddbaf0168d61af638455a26bd027ff upstream.

Commit d5dc77bfeeab ("consolidate compat lookup_dcookie()") coverted all
architectures to the new compat_sys_lookup_dcookie() syscall.

The "len" paramater of the new compat syscall must have the type
compat_size_t in order to enforce zero extension for architectures where
the ABI requires that the caller of a function performed zero and/or
sign extension to 64 bit of all parameters.

fs/compat: fix parameter handling for compat readv/writev syscalls

2014-02-13T21:55:31+00:00

commit dfd948e32af2e7b28bcd7a490c0a30d4b8df2a36 upstream.

We got a report that the pwritev syscall does not work correctly in
compat mode on s390.

It turned out that with commit 72ec35163f9f ("switch compat readv/writev
variants to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE") we lost the zero extension of a
couple of syscall parameters because the some parameter types haven't
been converted from unsigned long to compat_ulong_t.

This is needed for architectures where the ABI requires that the caller
of a function performed zero and/or sign extension to 64 bit of all
parameters.

syscalls.h: use gcc alias instead of assembler aliases for syscalls

2013-11-13T03:09:12+00:00

Use standard gcc __attribute__((alias(foo))) to define the syscall aliases
instead of custom assembler macros.

This is far cleaner, and also fixes my LTO kernel build.

Introduce [compat_]save_altstack_ex() to unbreak x86 SMAP

2013-09-01T21:16:33+00:00

For performance reasons, when SMAP is in use, SMAP is left open for an
entire put_user_try { ... } put_user_catch(); block, however, calling
__put_user() in the middle of that block will close SMAP as the
STAC..CLAC constructs intentionally do not nest.

Furthermore, using __put_user() rather than put_user_ex() here is bad
for performance.

Thus, introduce new [compat_]save_altstack_ex() helpers that replace
__[compat_]save_altstack() for x86, being currently the only
architecture which supports put_user_try { ... } put_user_catch().

Fix breakage in MIPS siginfo handling

2013-03-19T18:15:52+00:00

MIPS's siginfo handling has been broken since this commit:

	commit 574c4866e33d648520a8bd5bf6f573ea6e554e88
	Author: Al Viro 
	Date:   Sun Nov 25 22:24:19 2012 -0500
	consolidate kernel-side struct sigaction declarations

for 64-bit BE MIPS CPUs.

The UAPI variant looks like this:

	struct sigaction {
		unsigned int	sa_flags;
		__sighandler_t	sa_handler;
		sigset_t	sa_mask;
	};

but the core kernel's variant looks like this:

	struct sigaction {
	#ifndef __ARCH_HAS_ODD_SIGACTION
		__sighandler_t	sa_handler;
		unsigned long	sa_flags;
	#else
		unsigned long	sa_flags;
		__sighandler_t	sa_handler;
	#endif
	#ifdef __ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER
		__sigrestore_t sa_restorer;
	#endif
		sigset_t	sa_mask;
	};

The problem is that sa_flags has been changed from an unsigned int to an
unsigned long.

Fix this by making sa_flags unsigned int if __ARCH_HAS_ODD_SIGACTION is
defined.

Whilst we're at it, rename __ARCH_HAS_ODD_SIGACTION to
__ARCH_HAS_IRIX_SIGACTION.
