      syscalls: add __NR_kcmp syscall to generic unistd.h · 11ef4cfa
      Mark Salter 提交于
      Commit d97b46a6 ("syscalls, x86: add __NR_kcmp syscall" ) added a new
      syscall to support checkpoint restore. It is currently x86-only, but
      that restriction will be removed in a subsequent patch. Unfortunately,
      the kernel checksyscalls script had a bug which suppressed any warning
      to other architectures that the kcmp syscall was not implemented. A
      patch to checksyscalls is being tested in linux-next and other
      architectures are seeing warnings about kcmp being unimplemented.
      
      This patch adds __NR_kcmp to <asm-generic/unistd.h> so that kcmp is
      wired in for architectures using the generic syscall list.

      compat: use sys_sendfile64() implementation for sendfile syscall · 1631fcea
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      <asm-generic/unistd.h> was set up to use sys_sendfile() for the 32-bit
      compat API instead of sys_sendfile64(), but in fact the right thing to
      do is to use sys_sendfile64() in all cases.  The 32-bit sendfile64() API
      in glibc uses the sendfile64 syscall, so it has to be capable of doing
      full 64-bit operations.  But the sys_sendfile() kernel implementation
      has a MAX_NON_LFS test in it which explicitly limits the offset to 2^32.
      So, we need to use the sys_sendfile64() implementation in the kernel
      for this case.

      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.

      compat: fixes to allow working with tile arch · be84cb43
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      The existing <asm-generic/unistd.h> mechanism doesn't really provide
      enough to create the 64-bit "compat" ABI properly in a generic way,
      since the compat ABI is a mix of things were you can re-use the 64-bit
      versions of syscalls and things where you need a compat wrapper.
      
      To provide this in the most direct way possible, I added two new macros
      to go along with the existing __SYSCALL and __SC_3264 macros: __SC_COMP
      and SC_COMP_3264.  These macros take an additional argument, typically a
      "compat_sys_xxx" function, which is passed to __SYSCALL if you define
      __SYSCALL_COMPAT when including the header, resulting in a pointer to
      the compat function being placed in the generated syscall table.
      
      The change also adds some missing definitions to <linux/compat.h> so that
      it actually has declarations for all the compat syscalls, since the
      "[nr] = ##call" approach requires proper C declarations for all the
      functions included in the syscall table.
      
      Finally, compat.c defines compat_sys_sigpending() and
      compat_sys_sigprocmask() even if the underlying architecture doesn't
      request it, which tries to pull in undefined compat_old_sigset_t defines.
      We need to guard those compat syscall definitions with appropriate
      __ARCH_WANT_SYS_xxx ifdefs.

      introduce sys_syncfs to sync a single file system · b7ed78f5
      Sage Weil 提交于
      It is frequently useful to sync a single file system, instead of all
      mounted file systems via sync(2):
      
       - On machines with many mounts, it is not at all uncommon for some of
         them to hang (e.g. unresponsive NFS server).  sync(2) will get stuck on
         those and may never get to the one you do care about (e.g., /).
       - Some applications write lots of data to the file system and then
         want to make sure it is flushed to disk.  Calling fsync(2) on each
         file introduces unnecessary ordering constraints that result in a large
         amount of sub-optimal writeback/flush/commit behavior by the file
         system.
      
      There are currently two ways (that I know of) to sync a single super_block:
      
       - BLKFLSBUF ioctl on the block device: That also invalidates the bdev
         mapping, which isn't usually desirable, and doesn't work for non-block
         file systems.
       - 'mount -o remount,rw' will call sync_filesystem as an artifact of the
         current implemention.  Relying on this little-known side effect for
         something like data safety sounds foolish.
      
      Both of these approaches require root privileges, which some applications
      do not have (nor should they need?) given that sync(2) is an unprivileged
      operation.
      
      This patch introduces a new system call syncfs(2) that takes an fd and
      syncs only the file system it references.  Maybe someday we can
      
       $ sync /some/path
      
      and not get
      
       sync: ignoring all arguments
      
      The syscall is motivated by comments by Al and Christoph at the last LSF.
      syncfs(2) seems like an appropriate name given statfs(2).
      
      A similar ioctl was also proposed a while back, see

      Add wait4() back to the set of <asm-generic/unistd.h> syscalls. · b51cae21
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      The initial pass at the generic ABI assumed that wait4() could be
      easily expressed using waitid().  Although it's true that wait4()
      can be built on waitid(), it's awkward enough that it makes more
      sense to continue to include wait4 in the generic syscall ABI.
      
      Since there is already a deprecated wait4 in the ABI, this change
      converts that wait4 into old_wait, and puts wait4 in the next
      available slot for new supported syscalls, after the platform-specific
      syscalls at number 260.

      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. )

      asm-generic: add a generic unistd.h · e64a1617
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      A new architecture should only define a minimal set of system
      calls while still providing the full functionality. This version
      of unistd.h has gone through intensive review to make sure that
      by default it only enables syscalls that do not already have
      a more featureful replacement.
      
      It is modeled after the x86-64 version of unistd.h, which unifies
      the syscall number definition and the actual system call table
      in a single file, in order to keep them synchronized much more
      easily.
      
      This first version still keeps legacy system call definitions
      around, guarded by various #ifdefs, and with numbers larger
      than 1024. The idea behind this is to make it easier for
      new architectures to transition from a full list to the reduced
      set. In particular, the new microblaze architecture that should
      migrate to using the generic ABI headers can at least use an
      existing uClibc source tree without major rewrites during the
      conversion.
