In compat_sys_old_getrlimit() we pass a kernel pointer to sys_old_getrlimit() inside a set_fs() bracket. This is okay, so we can safely cast the affected pointer to __user. In compat_clock_nanosleep_restart(), the variable "rmtp" holds a user pointer. Annotate it as such.

We have two APIs for compatiblity timespec/val, with confusingly similar names. compat_(get|put)_time(val|spec) *do* handle the case where COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME is set, whereas (get|put)_compat_time(val|spec) do not. This is an accident waiting to happen. Clean it up by favoring the full-service version; the limited version is replaced with double-underscore versions static to kernel/compat.c. A common pattern is to convert a struct timespec to kernel format in an allocation on the user stack. Unfortunately it is open-coded in several places. Since this allocation isn't actually needed if COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME is true (since user format == kernel format) encapsulate that whole pattern into the function compat_convert_timespec(). An equivalent function should be written for struct timeval if it is needed in the future. Finally, get rid of compat_(get|put)_timeval_convert(): each was only used once, and the latter was not even doing what the function said (no conversion actually was being done.) Moving the conversion into compat_sys_settimeofday() itself makes the code much more similar to sys_settimeofday() itself. v3: Remove unused compat_convert_timeval(). v2: Drop bogus "const" in the destination argument for compat_convert_time*().

Strictly speaking, ppc64 needs it for C ABI compliance. Realistically I would be very surprised if e.g. passing 0xffffffff as 'options' argument to waitid() from 32bit task would cause problems, but yes, it puts us into undefined behaviour territory. ppc64 expects int argument to be passed in 64bit register with bits 31..63 containing the same value. SYSCALL_DEFINE on ppc provides a wrapper that normalizes the value passed from userland; so does COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE. Plain declaration of compat_sys_something() with an int argument obviously doesn't. Again, for wait4 and waitid I would be extremely surprised if gcc started to produce code depending on that value having been properly sign-extended - the argument(s) in question end up passed blindly to sys_wait4 and sys_waitid resp. and normalization for native syscalls takes care of their use there. Still, better to use COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE here than worry about nasal daemons... Signed-off-by: NAl Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

compat_sys_sigprocmask reads a smaller signal mask from userspace than sigprogmask accepts for setting. So the high word of blocked.sig[0] will be cleared, releasing any potentially blocked RT signal. This was discovered via userspace code that relies on get/setcontext. glibc's i386 versions of those functions use sigprogmask instead of rt_sigprogmask to save/restore signal mask and caused RT signal unblocking this way. As suggested by Linus, this replaces the sys_sigprocmask based compat version with one that open-codes the required logic, including the merge of the existing blocked set with the new one provided on SIG_SETMASK.

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. Acked-by: NArnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: NChris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call access_ok() to verify the returned area. A missing call could introduce problems on some architectures. This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length. The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the implementation of the new global function. This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either fail or access userspace on all architectures. This should be followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space() for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers can also be removed.

Commit a45185d2 "cpumask: convert kernel/compat.c" broke libnuma, which abuses sched_getaffinity to find out NR_CPUS in order to parse /sys/devices/system/node/node*/cpumap. On NUMA systems with less than 32 possibly CPUs, the current compat_sys_sched_getaffinity now returns '4' instead of the actual NR_CPUS/8, which makes libnuma bail out when parsing the cpumap. The libnuma call sched_getaffinity(0, bitmap, 4096) at first. It mean the libnuma expect the return value of sched_getaffinity() is either len argument or NR_CPUS. But it doesn't expect to return nr_cpu_ids. Strictly speaking, userland requirement are 1) Glibc assume the return value mean the lengh of initialized of mask argument. E.g. if sched_getaffinity(1024) return 128, glibc make zero fill rest 896 byte. 2) Libnuma assume the return value can be used to guess NR_CPUS in kernel. It assume len-arg<NR_CPUS makes -EINVAL. But it try len=4096 at first and 4096 is always bigger than NR_CPUS. Then, if we remove strange min_length normalization, we never hit -EINVAL case. sched_getaffinity() already solved this issue. This patch adapts compat_sys_sched_getaffinity() to match the non-compat case.

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.

At the moment, the times() system call will appear to fail for a period shortly after boot, while the value it want to return is between -4095 and -1. The same thing will also happen for the time() system call on 32-bit platforms some time in 2106 or so. On some platforms, such as x86, this is unavoidable because of the system call ABI, but other platforms such as powerpc have a separate error indication from the return value, so system calls can in fact return small negative values without indicating an error. On those platforms, force_successful_syscall_return() provides a way to indicate that the system call return value should not be treated as an error even if it is in the range which would normally be taken as a negative error number. This adds a force_successful_syscall_return() call to the time() and times() system calls plus their 32-bit compat versions, so that they don't erroneously indicate an error on those platforms whose system call ABI has a separate error indication. This will not affect anything on other platforms. Joakim Tjernlund added the fix for time() and the compat versions of time() and times(), after I did the fix for times().

Nothing arch specific in get/settimeofday. The details of the timeval conversion varied a little from arch to arch, but all with the same results. Also add an extern declaration for sys_tz to linux/time.h because externs in .c files are fowned upon. I'll kill the externs in various other files in a sparate patch.
