      ns: Wire up the setns system call · 7b21fddd
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working.  The rest I have looked
      at closely and I can't find any problems.
      
      setns is an easy system call to wire up.  It just takes two ints so I
      don't expect any weird architecture porting problems.
      
      While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are
      very slow to get new system calls.  cris seems to be the slowest where
      the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev.  avr32 is weird
      in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h.  frv is
      behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up.  On h8300
      the last system call wired up was epoll_wait.  On m32r the last system
      call wired up was fallocate.  mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system
      call wired up.  The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was
      new in the 2.6.39.
      
      v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com>
      v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
      v4: Moved wiring up of the system call to another patch
      v5: ported to v2.6.39-rc6
      v6: rebased onto parisc-next and net-next to avoid syscall  conflicts.
      v7: ported to Linus's latest post 2.6.39 tree.

      ARM: 6329/1: wire up sys_accept4() on ARM · 21d93e2e
      Mikael Pettersson 提交于
      sys_accept4() was added in kernel 2.6.28, but ARM was not updated
      to include it.  The number and types of parameters is such that
      no ARM-specific processing is needed, so wiring up sys_accept4()
      just requires defining __NR_accept4 and adding a direct call in
      the syscall entry table.
      
      Tested with an EABI 2.6.35 kernel and Ulrich Drepper's original
      accept4() test program, modified to define __NR_accept4 for ARM.
      
      Using the updated unistd.h also eliminates a warning then building
      glibc (2.10.2 and newer) about accept4() being unimplemented.

      perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events · cdd6c482
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
      
      In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
      initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
      becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
      monitoring, analysis facility.
      
      Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
      'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
      code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
      less appropriate.
      
      All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
      events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
      and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
      
      The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
      it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
      
      Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
      suggested a rename.
      
      User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
      should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
      keep the size down.)
      
      This patch has been generated via the following script:
      
        FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
      
        sed -i \
          -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
          -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
          -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
          -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
          -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
          -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
          $FILES
      
        for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
          M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
          mv $N $M
        done
      
        FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
      
        sed -i \
          -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
          -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
          -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
          -e 's/counter/event/g' \
          -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
          $FILES
      
      ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
      used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
      a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
      change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
      is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
      
      Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
      stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
      
      ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
        with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
        over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
        in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
        better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
        instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

      ARM: 5677/1: ARM support for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK/pselect6/ppoll/epoll_pwait · 36984265
      Mikael Pettersson 提交于
      This patch adds support for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK to ARM's
      signal handling, which allows to hook up the pselect6, ppoll,
      and epoll_pwait syscalls on ARM.
      
      Tested here with eabi userspace and a test program with a
      deliberate race between a child's exit and the parent's
      sigprocmask/select sequence. Using sys_pselect6() instead
      of sigprocmask/select reliably prevents the race.
      
      The other arch's support for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK has evolved
      over time:
      
      In 2.6.16:
      - add TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK which parallels TIF_SIGPENDING
      - test both when checking for pending signal [changed later]
      - reimplement sys_sigsuspend() to use current->saved_sigmask,
        TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK [changed later], and -ERESTARTNOHAND;
        ditto for sys_rt_sigsuspend(), but drop private code and
        use common code via __ARCH_WANT_SYS_RT_SIGSUSPEND;
      - there are now no "extra" calls to do_signal() so its oldset
        parameter is always &current->blocked so need not be passed,
        also its return value is changed to void
      - change handle_signal() to return 0/-errno
      - change do_signal() to honor TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK:
        + get oldset from current->saved_sigmask if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
          is set
        + if handle_signal() was successful then clear TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
        + if no signal was delivered and TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is set then
          clear it and restore the sigmask
      - hook up sys_pselect6() and sys_ppoll()
      
      In 2.6.19:
      - hook up sys_epoll_pwait()
      
      In 2.6.26:
      - allow archs to override how TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is implemented;
        default set_restore_sigmask() sets both TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK and
        TIF_SIGPENDING; archs need now just test TIF_SIGPENDING again
        when checking for pending signal work; some archs now implement
        TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK as a secondary/non-atomic thread flag bit
      - call set_restore_sigmask() in sys_sigsuspend() instead of setting
        TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
      
      In 2.6.29-rc:
      - kill sys_pselect7() which no arch wanted
      
      So for 2.6.31-rc6/ARM this patch does the following:
      - Add TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK. Use the generic set_restore_sigmask()
        which sets both TIF_SIGPENDING and TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK, so
        TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK need not claim one of the scarce low thread
        flags, and existing TIF_SIGPENDING and _TIF_WORK_MASK tests need
        not be extended for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK.
      - sys_sigsuspend() is reimplemented to use current->saved_sigmask
        and set_restore_sigmask(), making it identical to most other archs
      - The private code for sys_rt_sigsuspend() is removed, instead
        generic code supplies it via __ARCH_WANT_SYS_RT_SIGSUSPEND.
      - sys_sigsuspend() and sys_rt_sigsuspend() no longer need a pt_regs
        parameter, so their assembly code wrappers are removed.
      - handle_signal() is changed to return 0 on success or -errno.
      - The oldset parameter to do_signal() is now redundant and removed,
        and the return value is now also redundant and changed to void.
      - do_signal() is changed to honor TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK:
        + get oldset from current->saved_sigmask if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
          is set
        + if handle_signal() was successful then clear TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
        + if no signal was delivered and TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is set then
          clear it and restore the sigmask
      - Hook up sys_pselect6, sys_ppoll, and sys_epoll_pwait.

      [ARM] 5456/1: add sys_preadv and sys_pwritev · eb8f3142
      Mikael Pettersson 提交于
      Kernel 2.6.30-rc1 added sys_preadv and sys_pwritev to most archs
      but not ARM, resulting in
      
      <stdin>:1421:2: warning: #warning syscall preadv not implemented
      <stdin>:1425:2: warning: #warning syscall pwritev not implemented
      
      This patch adds sys_preadv and sys_pwritev to ARM.
      
      These syscalls simply take five long-sized parameters, so they
      should have no calling-convention/ABI issues in the kernel.
      
      Tested on armv5tel eabi using a preadv/pwritev test program posted
      on linuxppc-dev earlier this month.
      
      It would be nice to get this into the kernel before 2.6.30 final,
      so that glibc's kernel version feature test for these syscalls
      doesn't have to special-case ARM.

      Introduce fixed sys_sync_file_range2() syscall, implement on PowerPC and ARM · edd5cd4a
      David Woodhouse 提交于
      Not all the world is an i386.  Many architectures need 64-bit arguments to be
      aligned in suitable pairs of registers, and the original
      sys_sync_file_range(int, loff_t, loff_t, int) was therefore wasting an
      argument register for padding after the first integer.  Since we don't
      normally have more than 6 arguments for system calls, that left no room for
      the final argument on some architectures.
      
      Fix this by introducing sys_sync_file_range2(int, int, loff_t, loff_t) which
      all fits nicely.  In fact, ARM already had that, but called it
      sys_arm_sync_file_range.  Move it to fs/sync.c and rename it, then implement
      the needed compatibility routine.  And stop the missing syscall check from
      bitching about the absence of sys_sync_file_range() if we've implemented
      sys_sync_file_range2() instead.
      
      Tested on PPC32 and with 32-bit and 64-bit userspace on PPC64.

      For a while we wanted to change the way syscalls were called on ARM.
      Instead of encoding the syscall number in the swi instruction which
      requires reading back the instruction from memory to extract that number
      and polluting the data cache, it was decided that simply storing the
      syscall number into r7 would be more efficient. Since this represents
      an ABI change then making that change at the same time as EABI support
      is the right thing to do.
      
      It is now expected that EABI user space binaries put the syscall number
      into r7 and use "swi 0" to call the kernel. Syscall register argument
      are also expected to have "EABI arrangement" i.e. 64-bit arguments
      should be put in a pair of registers from an even register number.
      
      Example with long ftruncate64(unsigned int fd, loff_t length):
      
      	legacy ABI:
      	- put fd into r0
      	- put length into r1-r2
      	- use "swi #(0x900000 + 194)" to call the kernel
      
      	new ARM EABI:
      	- put fd into r0
      	- put length into r2-r3 (skipping over r1)
      	- put 194 into r7
      	- use "swi 0" to call the kernel
      
      Note that it is important to use 0 for the swi argument as backward
      compatibility with legacy ABI user space relies on this.
      The syscall macros in asm-arm/unistd.h were also updated to support
      both ABIs and implement the right call method automatically.

      [ARM] 2865/2: fix fadvise64_64 syscall argument passing · 68d9102f

      Patch from Nicolas Pitre
      
      The prototype for sys_fadvise64_64() is:
          long sys_fadvise64_64(int fd, loff_t offset, loff_t len, int advice)
      The argument list is therefore as follows on legacy ABI:
      	fd: type int (r0)
      	offset: type long long (r1-r2)
      	len: type long long (r3-sp[0])
      	advice: type int (sp[4])
      With EABI this becomes:
      	fd: type int (r0)
      	offset: type long long (r2-r3)
      	len: type long long (sp[0]-sp[4])
      	advice: type int (sp[8])
      Not only do we have ABI differences here, but the EABI version requires
      one additional word on the syscall stack.
      To avoid the ABI mismatch and the extra stack space required with EABI
      this syscall is now defined with a different argument ordering
      on ARM as follows:
          long sys_arm_fadvise64_64(int fd, int advice, loff_t offset, loff_t len)
      This gives us the following ABI independent argument distribution:
      	fd: type int (r0)
      	advice: type int (r1)
      	offset: type long long (r2-r3)
      	len: type long long (sp[0]-sp[4])
      Now, since the syscall entry code takes care of 5 registers only by
      default including the store of r4 to the stack, we need a wrapper to
      store r5 to the stack as well.  Because that wrapper was missing and was
      always required this means that sys_fadvise64_64 never worked on ARM and
      therefore we can safely reuse its syscall number for our new
      sys_arm_fadvise64_64 interface.
