2016-04-20arm64: compat: Check for AArch32 stateSuzuki K Poulose
Make sure we have AArch32 state available for running COMPAT binaries and also for switching the personality to PER_LINUX32.

2015-01-27arm64: make sys_call_table constMark Rutland
As with x86, mark the sys_call_table const such that it will be placed in the .rodata section. This will cause attempts to modify the table (accidental or deliberate) to fail when strict page permissions are in place. In the absence of strict page permissions, there should be no functional change.

2012-10-17arm64: Use generic sys_execve() implementationCatalin Marinas
This patch converts the arm64 port to use the generic sys_execve() implementation removing the arm64-specific (compat_)sys_execve_wrapper() functions. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2012-10-17arm64: Use generic kernel_execve() implementationCatalin Marinas

2012-10-12vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return itJeff Layton
getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to the string. For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled, we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not need to recopy it from userspace. This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it. Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes convenient. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2012-09-17arm64: System calls handlingCatalin Marinas
This patch adds support for system calls coming from 64-bit applications. It uses the asm-generic/unistd.h definitions with the canonical set of system calls. The private system calls are only used for 32-bit (compat) applications as 64-bit ones can set the TLS and flush the caches entirely from user space. The sys_call_table is just an array defined in a C file and it contains pointers to the syscall functions. The array is 4KB aligned to allow the use of the ADRP instruction (longer range ADR) in entry.S.
