arm64: fix building without CONFIG_UID16

2016-02-03T00:08:52Z

commit fbc416ff86183e2203cdf975e2881d7c164b0271 upstream. As reported by Michal Simek, building an ARM64 kernel with CONFIG_UID16 disabled currently fails because the system call table still needs to reference the individual function entry points that are provided by kernel/sys_ni.c in this case, and the declarations are hidden inside of #ifdef CONFIG_UID16: arch/arm64/include/asm/unistd32.h:57:8: error: 'sys_lchown16' undeclared here (not in a function) __SYSCALL(__NR_lchown, sys_lchown16) I believe this problem only exists on ARM64, because older architectures tend to not need declarations when their system call table is built in assembly code, while newer architectures tend to not need UID16 support. ARM64 only uses these system calls for compatibility with 32-bit ARM binaries. This changes the CONFIG_UID16 check into CONFIG_HAVE_UID16, which is set unconditionally on ARM64 with CONFIG_COMPAT, so we see the declarations whenever we need them, but otherwise the behavior is unchanged.

mm: constify nmask argument to set_mempolicy()

2014-06-04T23:54:03Z

The nmask argument to set_mempolicy() is const according to the user-space header numaif.h, and since the kernel does indeed not modify it, it might as well be declared const in the kernel. Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Merge tag 'trace-3.15-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

2014-04-12T20:06:10Z

Pull more tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "This includes the final patch to clean up and fix the issue with the design of tracepoints and how a user could register a tracepoint and have that tracepoint not be activated but no error was shown. The design was for an out of tree module but broke in tree users. The clean up was to remove the saving of the hash table of tracepoint names such that they can be enabled before they exist (enabling a module tracepoint before that module is loaded). This added more complexity than needed. The clean up was to remove that code and just enable tracepoints that exist or fail if they do not. This removed a lot of code as well as the complexity that it brought. As a side effect, instead of registering a tracepoint by its name, the tracepoint needs to be registered with the tracepoint descriptor. This removes having to duplicate the tracepoint names that are enabled. The second patch was added that simplified the way modules were searched for. This cleanup required changes that were in the 3.15 queue as well as some changes that were added late in the 3.14-rc cycle. This final change waited till the two were merged in upstream and then the change was added and full tests were run. Unfortunately, the test found some errors, but after it was already submitted to the for-next branch and not to be rebased. Sparse errors were detected by Fengguang Wu's bot tests, and my internal tests discovered that the anonymous union initialization triggered a bug in older gcc compilers. Luckily, there was a bugzilla for the gcc bug which gave a work around to the problem. The third and fourth patch handled the sparse error and the gcc bug respectively. A final patch was tagged along to fix a missing documentation for the README file" * tag 'trace-3.15-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracing: Add missing function triggers dump and cpudump to README tracing: Fix anonymous unions in struct ftrace_event_call tracepoint: Fix sparse warnings in tracepoint.c tracepoint: Simplify tracepoint module search tracepoint: Use struct pointer instead of name hash for reg/unreg tracepoints

tracing: Fix anonymous unions in struct ftrace_event_call

2014-04-10T00:02:55Z

gcc <= 4.5.x has significant limitations with respect to initialization of anonymous unions within structures. They need to be surrounded by brackets, _and_ they need to be initialized in the same order in which they appear in the structure declaration.

s390/compat: automatic zero, sign and pointer conversion of syscalls

2014-03-04T08:12:24Z

Instead of explicitly changing compat system call parameters from e.g. unsigned long to compat_ulong_t let the COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP macros automatically detect (unsigned) long parameters and zero and sign extend them automatically. The resulting binary is completely identical. In addition add a sys_[system call name] prototype for each system call wrapper. This will cause compile errors if the prototype does not match the prototype in include/linux/syscall.h. Therefore we should now always get the correct zero and sign extension of system call parameters. Pointers are handled like before. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens

sched: Add 'flags' argument to sched_{set,get}attr() syscalls

2014-02-21T20:27:10Z

Because of a recent syscall design debate; its deemed appropriate for each syscall to have a flags argument for future extension; without immediately requiring new syscalls.

sched: Add new scheduler syscalls to support an extended scheduling parameters ABI

2014-01-13T12:41:04Z

Add the syscalls needed for supporting scheduling algorithms with extended scheduling parameters (e.g., SCHED_DEADLINE). In general, it makes possible to specify a periodic/sporadic task, that executes for a given amount of runtime at each instance, and is scheduled according to the urgency of their own timing constraints, i.e.: - a (maximum/typical) instance execution time, - a minimum interval between consecutive instances, - a time constraint by which each instance must be completed. Thus, both the data structure that holds the scheduling parameters of the tasks and the system calls dealing with it must be extended. Unfortunately, modifying the existing struct sched_param would break the ABI and result in potentially serious compatibility issues with legacy binaries. For these reasons, this patch: - defines the new struct sched_attr, containing all the fields that are necessary for specifying a task in the computational model described above; - defines and implements the new scheduling related syscalls that manipulate it, i.e., sched_setattr() and sched_getattr(). Syscalls are introduced for x86 (32 and 64 bits) and ARM only, as a proof of concept and for developing and testing purposes. Making them available on other architectures is straightforward. Since no "user" for these new parameters is introduced in this patch, the implementation of the new system calls is just identical to their already existing counterpart. Future patches that implement scheduling policies able to exploit the new data structure must also take care of modifying the sched_*attr() calls accordingly with their own purposes.
