2019-03-10T06:09:00+00:00

commit d012d1325ba523b8ef3e55ba79c943e220154fdc upstream. The io_pgetevents system call was added in linux-4.18 but has no entry for alpha: warning: #warning syscall io_pgetevents not implemented [-Wcpp] Assign a the next system call number here.

Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function

2019-01-04T02:57:57+00:00

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand. It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact. A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's just get this done once and for all. This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form. There were a couple of notable cases: - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias. - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing really used it) - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch. I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

2018-12-28T22:12:21+00:00

Pull DMA mapping updates from Christoph Hellwig: "A huge update this time, but a lot of that is just consolidating or removing code: - provide a common DMA_MAPPING_ERROR definition and avoid indirect calls for dma_map_* error checking - use direct calls for the DMA direct mapping case, avoiding huge retpoline overhead for high performance workloads - merge the swiotlb dma_map_ops into dma-direct - provide a generic remapping DMA consistent allocator for architectures that have devices that perform DMA that is not cache coherent. Based on the existing arm64 implementation and also used for csky now. - improve the dma-debug infrastructure, including dynamic allocation of entries (Robin Murphy) - default to providing chaining scatterlist everywhere, with opt-outs for the few architectures (alpha, parisc, most arm32 variants) that can't cope with it - misc sparc32 dma-related cleanups - remove the dma_mark_clean arch hook used by swiotlb on ia64 and replace it with the generic noncoherent infrastructure - fix the return type of dma_set_max_seg_size (Niklas Söderlund) - move the dummy dma ops for not DMA capable devices from arm64 to common code (Robin Murphy) - ensure dma_alloc_coherent returns zeroed memory to avoid kernel data leaks through userspace. We already did this for most common architectures, but this ensures we do it everywhere. dma_zalloc_coherent has been deprecated and can hopefully be removed after -rc1 with a coccinelle script" * tag 'dma-mapping-4.21' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/dma-mapping: (73 commits) dma-mapping: fix inverted logic in dma_supported dma-mapping: deprecate dma_zalloc_coherent dma-mapping: zero memory returned from dma_alloc_* sparc/iommu: fix ->map_sg return value sparc/io-unit: fix ->map_sg return value arm64: default to the direct mapping in get_arch_dma_ops PCI: Remove unused attr variable in pci_dma_configure ia64: only select ARCH_HAS_DMA_COHERENT_TO_PFN if swiotlb is enabled dma-mapping: bypass indirect calls for dma-direct vmd: use the proper dma_* APIs instead of direct methods calls dma-direct: merge swiotlb_dma_ops into the dma_direct code dma-direct: use dma_direct_map_page to implement dma_direct_map_sg dma-direct: improve addressability error reporting swiotlb: remove dma_mark_clean swiotlb: remove SWIOTLB_MAP_ERROR ACPI / scan: Refactor _CCA enforcement dma-mapping: factor out dummy DMA ops dma-mapping: always build the direct mapping code dma-mapping: move dma_cache_sync out of line dma-mapping: move various slow path functions out of line ...

alpha: generate uapi header and syscall table header files

2018-12-21T16:57:56+00:00

System call table generation script must be run to gener- ate unistd_32.h and syscall_table.h files. This patch will have changes which will invokes the script. This patch will generate unistd_32.h and syscall_table.h files by the syscall table generation script invoked by alpha/Makefile and the generated files against the removed files must be identical. The generated uapi header file will be included in uapi/- asm/unistd.h and generated system call table header file will be included by kernel/systbls.S file.

alpha: add system call table generation support

2018-12-21T16:57:56+00:00

The system call tables are in different format in all architecture and it will be difficult to manually add, modify or delete the syscall table entries in the res- pective files. To make it easy by keeping a script and which will generate the uapi header and syscall table file. This change will also help to unify the implemen- tation across all architectures. The system call table generation script is added in kernel/syscalls directory which contain the scripts to generate both uapi header file and system call table files. The syscall.tbl will be input for the scripts. syscall.tbl contains the list of available system calls along with system call number and corresponding entry point. Add a new system call in this architecture will be possible by adding new entry in the syscall.tbl file. Adding a new table entry consisting of: - System call number. - ABI. - System call name. - Entry point name. syscallhdr.sh and syscalltbl.sh will generate uapi header unistd_32.h and syscall_table.h files respectively. Both .sh files will parse the content syscall.tbl to generate the header and table files. unistd_32.h will be included by uapi/asm/unistd.h and syscall_table.h is included by kernel/syscall.S - the real system call table. ARM, s390 and x86 architecuture does have similar support. I leverage their implementation to come up with a generic solution. Signed-off-by: Firoz Khan Signed-off-by: Matt Turner

alpha: remove CONFIG_OSF4_COMPAT flag from syscall table

2018-12-21T16:57:56+00:00

Remove CONFIG_OSF4_COMPAT config flag from system call table - systbls.S and to keep the same feature, add the flag in osf_sys.c. One of the patch in this patch series will generate the system call table file. In order to come up with a common implementation across all architecture, we need this change.
