y2038: socket: Add compat_sys_recvmmsg_time64
recvmmsg() takes two arguments to pointers of structures that differ between 32-bit and 64-bit architectures: mmsghdr and timespec. For y2038 compatbility, we are changing the native system call from timespec to __kernel_timespec with a 64-bit time_t (in another patch), and use the existing compat system call on both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures for compatibility with traditional 32-bit user space. As we now have two variants of recvmmsg() for 32-bit tasks that are both different from the variant that we use on 64-bit tasks, this means we also require two compat system calls! The solution I picked is to flip things around: The existing compat_sys_recvmmsg() call gets moved from net/compat.c into net/socket.c and now handles the case for old user space on all architectures that have set CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME. A new compat_sys_recvmmsg_time64() call gets added in the old place for 64-bit architectures only, this one handles the case of a compat mmsghdr structure combined with __kernel_timespec. In the indirect sys_socketcall(), we now need to call either do_sys_recvmmsg() or __compat_sys_recvmmsg(), depending on what kind of architecture we are on. For compat_sys_socketcall(), no such change is needed, we always call __compat_sys_recvmmsg(). I decided to not add a new SYS_RECVMMSG_TIME64 socketcall: Any libc implementation for 64-bit time_t will need significant changes including an updated asm/unistd.h, and it seems better to consistently use the separate syscalls that configuration, leaving the socketcall only for backward compatibility with 32-bit time_t based libc. The naming is asymmetric for the moment, so both existing syscalls entry points keep their names, while the new ones are recvmmsg_time32 and compat_recvmmsg_time64 respectively. I expect that we will rename the compat syscalls later as we start using generated syscall tables everywhere and add these entry points. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
