Split the 64-bit system calls into "64" (64-bit only) and "common" (64-bit or x32) and add the x32 system call numbers. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

On x86, the only difference between sys_rt_sigprocmask and sys32_rt_sigprocmask is the alignment of the data structures. However, x86 allows data accesses with arbitrary alignment, and therefore there is no reason for this code to be different. Reported-by: Gregory M. Lueck <gregory.m.lueck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: H.

An x32 process is *almost* the same thing as a 64-bit process with a 32-bit address limit, but there are a few minor differences -- in particular core dumps are 32 bits and signal handling is different. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

For 32-bit ABIs which have real 64-bit registers, we don't want to break the position argument into two. However, we still need compat support to deal with 32-bit pointers, so we can't just use sys_p{read,write} directly. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

Rather than using "unsigned long" which is ABI-dependent, use __kernel_ulong_t to define the externally visible type aio_context_t. Note: the change in this form will cause unsigned long/unsigned int differences on existing ABIs. If that is unacceptable we may have to define a new type. Signed-off-by: H.

H. Peter Anvin authored
Add helper functions to read and write struct timeval and struct timespec from userspace. We already had helper functions for reading and writing struct compat_timespec; add a set of functions to do the same with struct timeval, and add a second suite of functions which can be sensitive to COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME and access either 32- or 64-bit time structures. This also exports these helper functions to modules. Rename the existing inlines for converting between struct compat_timeval and native struct timespec so we can have a saner naming convention for the exported functions.

Change <linux/sysinfo.h> to use explicitly sized types. Replace long/unsigned long with __kernel_[u]long_t so that a non-legacy 32-bit ABI running on a 64-bit kernel can export those as 64-bit types. Originally-by: H. J. Lu <hjl.tools@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

This is the same as the 64-bit posix_types.h, except that __kernel_[u]long_t is defined to be [unsigned] long long and therefore 64 bits. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

Introduce __kernel_[u]long_t, which allows an ABI to override all defaults of type [unsigned] long. This enables x32 and potentially other 32-bit userspace on 64-bit kernel ABIs. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

Delete the __FD_*() functions for operating on fd_set structs from linux/time.h as they're no longer used within the kernel with the preceding patch and are not exported to userspace. Whilst linux/time.h *does* export the FD_*() equivalents as wrappers around __FD_*(), userspace provides its own definition of __FD_*(). Note that the definition of FD_ZERO() in linux/time.h may not be used with the fd_sets associated with struct fdtable as the fd_set may have been allocated in a truncated fashion.

Replace the fd_sets in struct fdtable with an array of unsigned longs and then use the standard non-atomic bit operations rather than the FD_* macros. This: (1) Removes the abuses of struct fd_set: (a) Since we don't want to allocate a full fd_set the vast majority of the time, we actually, in effect, just allocate a just-big-enough array of unsigned longs and cast it to an fd_set type - so why bother with the fd_set at all? (b) Some places outside of the core fdtable handling code (such as SELinux) want to look inside the array of unsigned longs hidden inside the fd_set struct for more efficient iteration over the entire set. (2) Eliminates the use of FD_*() macros in the kernel completely. (3) Permits the __FD_*() macros to be deleted entirely where not exposed to userspace.

David Howells authored
Wrap accesses to the fd_sets in struct fdtable (for recording open files and close-on-exec flags) so that we can move away from using fd_sets since we abuse the fd_set structs by not allocating the full-sized structure under normal circumstances and by non-core code looking at the internals of the fd_sets. The first abuse means that use of FD_ZERO() on these fd_sets is not permitted, since that cannot be told about their abnormal lengths. This introduces six wrapper functions for setting, clearing and testing close-on-exec flags and fd-is-open flags: void __set_close_on_exec(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt); void __clear_close_on_exec(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt); bool close_on_exec(int fd, const struct fdtable *fdt); void __set_open_fd(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt); void __clear_open_fd(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt); bool fd_is_open(int fd, const struct fdtable *fdt); Note that I've prepended '__' to the names of the set/clear functions because they require the caller to hold a lock to use them. Note also that I haven't added wrappers for looking behind the scenes at the the array. Possibly that should exist too.

<asm/posix_types.h> includes a set of macros that operate on file descriptors. Way long ago those were exported to user space, but nowadays they are #ifdef __KERNEL__. However, they are nothing but standard (nonatomic) bit operations, and we already have optimized versions of bit operations in the kernel. We can't include <linux/bitops.h> in <asm/posix_types.h> but we can move the definitions to <linux/time.h> and define them there in terms of standard kernel bitops.
