      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.

      Add generic sys_olduname() · 5cacdb4a
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Add generic implementations of the old and really old uname system calls.
      Note that sh only implements sys_olduname but not sys_oldolduname, but I'm
      not going to bother with another ifdef for that special case.
      
      m32r implemented an old uname but never wired it up, so kill it, too.

      Add generic sys_ipc wrapper · baed7fc9
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Add a generic implementation of the ipc demultiplexer syscall.  Except for
      s390 and sparc64 all implementations of the sys_ipc are nearly identical.
      
      There are slight differences in the types of the parameters, where mips
      and powerpc as the only 64-bit architectures with sys_ipc use unsigned
      long for the "third" argument as it gets casted to a pointer later, while
      it traditionally is an "int" like most other paramters.  frv goes even
      further and uses unsigned long for all parameters execept for "ptr" which
      is a pointer type everywhere.  The change from int to unsigned long for
      "third" and back to "int" for the others on frv should be fine due to the
      in-register calling conventions for syscalls (we already had a similar
      issue with the generic sys_ptrace), but I'd prefer to have the arch
      maintainers looks over this in details.
      
      Except for that h8300, m68k and m68knommu lack an impplementation of the
      semtimedop sub call which this patch adds, and various architectures have
      gets used - at least on i386 it seems superflous as the compat code on
      x86-64 and ia64 doesn't even bother to implement it.

      [PATCH] provide kernel_execve on all architectures · fe74290d
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      This adds the new kernel_execve function on all architectures that were using
      _syscall3() to implement execve.
      
      The implementation uses code from the _syscall3 macros provided in the
      unistd.h header file.  I don't have cross-compilers for any of these
      architectures, so the patch is untested with the exception of i386.
      
      Most architectures can probably implement this in a nicer way in assembly or
      by combining it with the sys_execve implementation itself, but this should do
      it for now.

      [PATCH] m32r: update sys_tas() routine · cf535ea5
      Hirokazu Takata 提交于
      This patch updates and fixes sys_tas() routine for m32r.
      
      In the previous implementation, a lockup rarely caused at sys_tas()
      routine in SMP environment.
      
      > > The problem is that touching *addr will generate an oops if that page isn't
      > > paged in.  If we convert it to use get_user() then that's an improvement,
      > > but we must not run get_user() under spinlock or local_irq_disable().
      
      I rewrote sys_tas() routine by using "lock -> unlock" instructions, and
      utilizing the m32r's interrupt handling characteristics; the m32r processor
      can accept interrupts only at the 32-bit instruction boundary.  So, the
      "unlock" instruction can be executed continuously after the "lock"
      instruction execution without any interruptions.
      
      In addition, to solve such a page_fault problem, I use a fixup code like
      get_user().
      
      And, as for the kernel lockup problem, we found that a calling
      do_page_fault() routine with disabling interrupts might cause a lockup at
      flush_tlb_others(), because we checked a completion of IPI handler's
      operations in a spin-locked critical section.
      
      Therefore, by using "lock -> unlock" code, we can implement the sys_tas()
      rouitine without disabling interrupts explicitly, then no lockups would
      happen at flush_tlb_others(), I hope.
      
      Compile check and some working test in SMP environment have done.

      [PATCH] m32r: Fix sys_tas() syscall · 91f4ab05
      Hirokazu Takata 提交于
      This patch fixes a deadlock problem of the m32r SMP kernel.
      
      In the m32r kernel, sys_tas() system call is provided as a test-and-set
      function for userspace, for backward compatibility.
      
      In some multi-threading application program, deadlocks were rarely caused
      at sys_tas() funcion.  Such a deadlock was caused due to a collision of
      __pthread_lock() and __pthread_unlock() operations.
      
      The "tas" syscall is repeatedly called by pthread_mutex_lock() to get a
      lock, while a lock variable's value is not 0.  On the other hand,
      pthead_mutex_unlock() sets the lock variable to 0 for unlocking.
      
      In the previous implementation of sys_tas() routine, there was a
      possibility that a unlock operation was ignored in the following case:
      
      - Assume a lock variable (*addr) was equal to 1 before sys_tas() execution.
      - __pthread_unlock() operation is executed by the other processor
        and the lock variable (*addr) is set to 0, between a read operation
        ("oldval = *addr;") and the following write operation ("*addr = 1;")
        during a execution of sys_tas().
      
      In this case, the following write operation ("*addr = 1;") overwrites the
      __pthread_unlock() result, and sys_tas() fails to get a lock in the next
      turn and after that.
      
      According to the attatched patch, sys_tas() returns 0 value in the next
      turn and deadlocks never happen.
