      vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return it · 91a27b2a
      Jeff Layton 提交于
      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.

      Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer · d7627467
      David Howells 提交于
      Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
      correctly on ARM:
      
      arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
      
      This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
      the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to.  This is
      because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
      copy_strings_kernel().  A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
      pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().
      
      do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
      or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
      const should be fine.
      
      Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.
      
      This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      unified (weak) sys_pipe implementation · d35c7b0e
      Ulrich Drepper 提交于
      This replaces the duplicated arch-specific versions of "sys_pipe()" with
      one unified implementation.  This removes almost 250 lines of duplicated
      code.
      
      It's marked __weak, so that *if* an architecture wants to override the
      default implementation it can do so by simply having its own replacement
      version, since many architectures use alternate calling conventions for
      the 'pipe()' system call for legacy reasons (ie traditional UNIX
      implementations often return the two file descriptors in registers)
      
      I still haven't changed the cris version even though Linus says the BKL
      isn't needed.  The arch maintainer can easily do it if there are really
      no obstacles.

      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.

      {
              return sys_sync_file_range(fd, offset, nbytes, flags);
      }
      
      We can't export sys_sync_file_range() directly on ARM because the
      argument list someone picked does not fit in the available registers.
      Would be nice if... there was an arch maintainer review mechanism for
      new syscalls before they hit the kernel.

      [ARM] 2865/2: fix fadvise64_64 syscall argument passing · 68d9102f
      Nicolas Pitre 提交于
      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.
