user/sven/linux.git/include/linux/compat.h, branch v3.16.46

Merge branch 'x86-x32-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

2014-04-02T19:51:41Z

Pull compat time conversion changes from Peter Anvin: "Despite the branch name this is really neither an x86 nor an x32-specific patchset, although it the implementation of the discussions that followed the x32 security hole a few months ago. This removes get/put_compat_timespec/val() and replaces them with compat_get/put_timespec/val() which are savvy as to the current status of COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME. It removes several unused and/or incorrect/misleading functions (like compat_put_timeval_convert which doesn't in fact do any conversion) and also replaces several open-coded implementations what is now called compat_convert_timespec() with that function" * 'x86-x32-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: compat: Fix sparse address space warnings compat: Get rid of (get|put)_compat_time(val|spec)

compat: include linux/unistd.h within linux/compat.h

2014-03-20T15:42:14Z

linux/compat.h does not include linux/unistd.h but the compat.h header file contains various conditional #ifdef __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_... asmlinkage long compat...() #endif compat system call function declarations. If linux/unistd.h isn't included it depends on previous includes if those __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_... defines are defined or not. So add an additional linux/unistd.h include. Should fix this compile error on tile: include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h:195:1: error: 'compat_sys_getdents64' undeclared make[3]: *** [arch/tile/kernel/compat.o] Error 1 Reported-by: Geert Uytterhoeven Acked-by: Geert Uytterhoeven Acked-by: Chris Metcalf Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens

mm/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE with changing parameter types

2014-03-06T15:30:47Z

In order to allow the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE macro generate code that performs proper zero and sign extension convert all 64 bit parameters to their corresponding 32 bit compat counterparts. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens

fs/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE with changing parameter types

2014-03-06T15:30:44Z

Some fs compat system calls have unsigned long parameters instead of compat_ulong_t. In order to allow the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE macro generate code that performs proper zero and sign extension convert all 64 bit parameters their corresponding 32 bit counterparts. compat_sys_io_getevents() is a bit different: the non-compat version has signed parameters for the "min_nr" and "nr" parameters while the compat version has unsigned parameters. So change this as well. For all practical purposes this shouldn't make any difference (doesn't fix a real bug). Also introduce a generic compat_aio_context_t type which can be used everywhere. The access_ok() check within compat_sys_io_getevents() got also removed since the non-compat sys_io_getevents() should be able to handle everything anyway. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens

fs/compat: optional preadv64/pwrite64 compat system calls

2014-03-06T14:35:09Z

The preadv64/pwrite64 have been implemented for the x32 ABI, in order to allow passing 64 bit arguments from user space without splitting them into two 32 bit parameters, like it would be necessary for usual compat tasks. Howevert these two system calls are only being used for the x32 ABI, so add __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT defines for these two compat syscalls and make these two only visible for x86.

ipc/compat_sys_msgrcv: change msgtyp type from long to compat_long_t

2014-03-06T14:35:09Z

Change the type of compat_sys_msgrcv's msgtyp parameter from long to compat_long_t, since compat user space passes only a 32 bit signed value. Let the compat wrapper do proper sign extension to 64 bit of this parameter. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens

compat: add COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE0 macro

2014-03-04T08:05:33Z

For consistency reason add a COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE0 macro. This macro should be used for compat system calls with zero parameters. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens
