Subject: [GIT PULL] s390 compat wrapper rework
Hi Linus,
please pull from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux.git compat
to get the s390 compat system call wrapper simplification work.
The intention of this work is to get rid of all hand written assembly compat
system call wrappers on s390, which perform proper sign or zero extension, or
pointer conversion of compat system call parameters. Instead all of this
should be done with C code e.g. by using Al's COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro.
Therefore all common code and s390 specific compat system calls have been
converted to the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro.
In order to generate correct code all compat system calls may only have e.g.
compat_ulong_t parameters, but no unsigned long parameters. Those patches
which change parameter types from unsigned long to compat_ulong_t parameters
are separate in this series, but shouldn't cause any harm.
The only compat system calls which intentionally have 64 bit parameters
(preadv64 and pwritev64) in support of the x86/32 ABI haven't been changed,
but are now only available if an architecture defines
__ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PREADV64/PWRITEV64.
System calls which do not have a compat variant but still need proper zero
extension on s390, like e.g. "long sys_brk(unsigned long brk)" will get a
proper wrapper function with the new s390 specific COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAPx()
macro:
COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP1(brk, unsigned long, brk);
which generates the following code (simplified):
asmlinkage long sys_brk(unsigned long brk);
asmlinkage long compat_sys_brk(long brk)
{
return sys_brk((u32)brk);
}
Given that the C file which contains all the COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP lines
includes both linux/syscall.h and linux/compat.h, it will generate build
errors, if the declaration of sys_brk() doesn't match, or if there exists a
non-matching compat_sys_brk() declaration.
In addition this will intentionally result in a link error if somewhere else a
compat_sys_brk() function exists, which probably should have been used
instead.
Two more BUILD_BUG_ONs make sure the size and type of each compat syscall
parameter can be handled correctly with the s390 specific macros.
I converted the compat system calls step by step to verify the generated code
is correct and matches the previous code. In fact it did not always match,
however that was always a bug in the hand written asm code.
In result we get less code, less bugs, and much more sanity checking.
Thanks,
Heiko
