Our syscall tables are aligned to 4096 bytes, which allowed their addresses to be generated with a single adrp in entry.S. This has the unfortunate property of wasting space in .rodata for the necessary padding. Now that the address is generated by C code, we can rely on the compiler to do the right thing, and drop the alignemnt.

In preparation for invoking arbitrary syscalls from C code, let's define a type for an arbitrary syscall, matching the parameter passing rules of the AAPCS. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

The arm64 sigreturn* syscall handlers are non-standard. Rather than taking a number of user parameters in registers as per the AAPCS, they expect the pt_regs as their sole argument. To make this work, we override the syscall definitions to invoke wrappers written in assembly, which mov the SP into x0, and branch to their respective C functions. On other architectures (such as x86), the sigreturn* functions take no argument and instead use current_pt_regs() to acquire the user registers. This requires less boilerplate code, and allows for other features such as interposing C code in this path. This patch takes the same approach for arm64.

Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_mmap_pgoff() 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_mmap_pgoff(). This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

As with x86, mark the sys_call_table const such that it will be placed in the .rodata section. This will cause attempts to modify the table (accidental or deliberate) to fail when strict page permissions are in place. In the absence of strict page permissions, there should be no functional change.

getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to the string. For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled, we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not need to recopy it from userspace. This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it. Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes convenient. Signed-off-by: NJeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NAl Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

This patch adds support for system calls coming from 64-bit applications. It uses the asm-generic/unistd.h definitions with the canonical set of system calls. The private system calls are only used for 32-bit (compat) applications as 64-bit ones can set the TLS and flush the caches entirely from user space. The sys_call_table is just an array defined in a C file and it contains pointers to the syscall functions. The array is 4KB aligned to allow the use of the ADRP instruction (longer range ADR) in entry.S.
