fs/compat: fix lookup_dcookie() parameter handling

2014-01-30T00:22:40Z

Commit d5dc77bfeeab ("consolidate compat lookup_dcookie()") coverted all architectures to the new compat_sys_lookup_dcookie() syscall. The "len" paramater of the new compat syscall must have the type compat_size_t in order to enforce zero extension for architectures where the ABI requires that the caller of a function performed zero and/or sign extension to 64 bit of all parameters.

fs/compat: fix parameter handling for compat readv/writev syscalls

2014-01-30T00:22:39Z

We got a report that the pwritev syscall does not work correctly in compat mode on s390. It turned out that with commit 72ec35163f9f ("switch compat readv/writev variants to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE") we lost the zero extension of a couple of syscall parameters because the some parameter types haven't been converted from unsigned long to compat_ulong_t. This is needed for architectures where the ABI requires that the caller of a function performed zero and/or sign extension to 64 bit of all parameters.

syscalls.h: use gcc alias instead of assembler aliases for syscalls

2013-11-13T03:09:12Z

Use standard gcc __attribute__((alias(foo))) to define the syscall aliases instead of custom assembler macros. This is far cleaner, and also fixes my LTO kernel build.

Introduce [compat_]save_altstack_ex() to unbreak x86 SMAP

2013-09-01T21:16:33Z

For performance reasons, when SMAP is in use, SMAP is left open for an entire put_user_try { ... } put_user_catch(); block, however, calling __put_user() in the middle of that block will close SMAP as the STAC..CLAC constructs intentionally do not nest. Furthermore, using __put_user() rather than put_user_ex() here is bad for performance. Thus, introduce new [compat_]save_altstack_ex() helpers that replace __[compat_]save_altstack() for x86, being currently the only architecture which supports put_user_try { ... } put_user_catch().
