2018-04-09syscalls/core, syscalls/x86: Clean up compat syscall stub naming conventionDominik Brodowski
Tidy the naming convention for compat syscall subs. Hints which describe the purpose of the stub go in front and receive a double underscore to denote that they are generated on-the-fly by the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro. For the generic case, this means: t kernel_waitid # common C function (see kernel/exit.c) __do_compat_sys_waitid # inlined helper doing the actual work # (takes original parameters as declared) T __se_compat_sys_waitid # sign-extending C function calling inlined # helper (takes parameters of type long, # casts them to unsigned long and then to # the declared type) T compat_sys_waitid # alias to __se_compat_sys_waitid() # (taking parameters as declared), to # be included in syscall table For x86, the naming is as follows: t kernel_waitid # common C function (see kernel/exit.c) __do_compat_sys_waitid # inlined helper doing the actual work # (takes original parameters as declared) t __se_compat_sys_waitid # sign-extending C function calling inlined # helper (takes parameters of type long, # casts them to unsigned long and then to # the declared type) T __ia32_compat_sys_waitid # IA32_EMULATION 32-bit-ptregs -> C stub, # calls __se_compat_sys_waitid(); to be # included in syscall table T __x32_compat_sys_waitid # x32 64-bit-ptregs -> C stub, calls # __se_compat_sys_waitid(); to be included # in syscall table If only one of IA32_EMULATION and x32 is enabled, __se_compat_sys_waitid() may be inlined into the stub __{ia32,x32}_compat_sys_waitid().

2018-04-05syscalls/x86: Unconditionally enable 'struct pt_regs' based syscalls on x86_64Dominik Brodowski
Removing CONFIG_SYSCALL_PTREGS from arch/x86/Kconfig and simply selecting ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER unconditionally on x86-64 allows us to simplify several codepaths.

2018-04-05syscalls/x86: Use 'struct pt_regs' based syscall calling convention for ↵Dominik Brodowski
64-bit syscalls Let's make use of ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER=y on pure 64-bit x86-64 systems: Each syscall defines a stub which takes struct pt_regs as its only argument. It decodes just those parameters it needs, e.g: asmlinkage long sys_xyzzy(const struct pt_regs *regs) { return SyS_xyzzy(regs->di, regs->si, regs->dx); } This approach avoids leaking random user-provided register content down the call chain. For example, for sys_recv() which is a 4-parameter syscall, the assembly now is (in slightly reordered fashion): <sys_recv>: callq <__fentry__> /* decode regs->di, ->si, ->dx and ->r10 */ mov 0x70(%rdi),%rdi mov 0x68(%rdi),%rsi mov 0x60(%rdi),%rdx mov 0x38(%rdi),%rcx [ SyS_recv() is automatically inlined by the compiler, as it is not [yet] used anywhere else ] /* clear %r9 and %r8, the 5th and 6th args */ xor %r9d,%r9d xor %r8d,%r8d /* do the actual work */ callq __sys_recvfrom /* cleanup and return */ cltq retq The only valid place in an x86-64 kernel which rightfully calls a syscall function on its own -- vsyscall -- needs to be modified to pass struct pt_regs onwards as well. To keep the syscall table generation working independent of SYSCALL_PTREGS being enabled, the stubs are named the same as the "original" syscall stubs, i.e. sys_*(). This patch is based on an original proof-of-concept | From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> | Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> and was split up and heavily modified by me, in particular to base it on ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER, to limit it to 64-bit-only for the time being, and to update the vsyscall to the new calling convention.

2018-04-02x86: fix sys_sigreturn() return type to be long, not unsigned longDominik Brodowski
Same as with other system calls, sys_sigreturn() should return a value of type long, not unsigned long.

2018-04-02x86/ioport: add ksys_ioperm() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_ioperm()Dominik Brodowski
Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_ioperm() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the same calling convention as sys_ioperm(). This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

2017-10-20x86/entry: Use SYSCALL_DEFINE() macros for sys_modify_ldt()Dave Hansen
We do not have tracepoints for sys_modify_ldt() because we define it directly instead of using the normal SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macros. However, there is a reason sys_modify_ldt() does not use the macros: it has an 'int' return type instead of 'unsigned long'. This is a bug, but it's a bug cemented in the ABI. What does this mean? If we return -EINVAL from a function that returns 'int', we have 0x00000000ffffffea in %rax. But, if we return -EINVAL from a function returning 'unsigned long', we end up with 0xffffffffffffffea in %rax, which is wrong. To work around this and maintain the 'int' behavior while using the SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macros, so we add a cast to 'unsigned int' in both implementations of sys_modify_ldt().

2010-08-17Make do_execve() take a const filename pointerDavid Howells
Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles correctly on ARM: arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to. This is because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to copy_strings_kernel(). A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel(). do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as const should be fine. Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match. This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

2010-03-12Add generic sys_ipc wrapperChristoph Hellwig
Add a generic implementation of the ipc demultiplexer syscall. Except for s390 and sparc64 all implementations of the sys_ipc are nearly identical. There are slight differences in the types of the parameters, where mips and powerpc as the only 64-bit architectures with sys_ipc use unsigned long for the "third" argument as it gets casted to a pointer later, while it traditionally is an "int" like most other paramters. frv goes even further and uses unsigned long for all parameters execept for "ptr" which is a pointer type everywhere. The change from int to unsigned long for "third" and back to "int" for the others on frv should be fine due to the in-register calling conventions for syscalls (we already had a similar issue with the generic sys_ptrace), but I'd prefer to have the arch maintainers looks over this in details. Except for that h8300, m68k and m68knommu lack an impplementation of the semtimedop sub call which this patch adds, and various architectures have gets used - at least on i386 it seems superflous as the compat code on x86-64 and ia64 doesn't even bother to implement it.

Impact: cleanup, no code changed - syscalls.h update declarations due to unifications - irq.c declare smp_generic_interrupt() before it gets used - process.c declare sys_fork() and sys_vfork() before they get used - tsc.c rename tsc_khz shadowed variable - apic/probe_32.c declare apic_default before it gets used - apic/nmi.c prev_nmi_count should be unsigned - apic/io_apic.c declare smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt() before it gets used - mm/init.c declare direct_gbpages and free_initrd_mem before they get used Signed-off-by: Jaswinder Singh Rajput <jaswinder@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-02-11x86: merge sys_rt_sigreturn between 32 and 64 bitsH. Peter Anvin
Impact: cleanup With the recent changes in the 32-bit code to make system calls which use struct pt_regs take a pointer, sys_rt_sigreturn() have become identical between 32 and 64 bits, and both are empty wrappers around do_rt_sigreturn(). Remove both wrappers and rename both to sys_rt_sigreturn(). Cc: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@linux.intel.com>
2009-02-11x86: use regparm(3) for passed-in pt_regs pointerBrian Gerst
Some syscalls need to access the pt_regs structure, either to copy user register state or to modifiy it. This patch adds stubs to load the address of the pt_regs struct into the %eax register, and changes the syscalls to take the pointer as an argument instead of relying on the assumption that the pt_regs structure overlaps the function arguments. Drop the use of regparm(1) due to concern about gcc bugs, and to move in the direction of the eventual removal of regparm(0) for asmlinkage.

2009-02-11x86: pass in pt_regs pointer for syscalls that need itBrian Gerst
Some syscalls need to access the pt_regs structure, either to copy user register state or to modifiy it. This patch adds stubs to load the address of the pt_regs struct into the %eax register, and changes the syscalls to regparm(1) to receive the pt_regs pointer as the first argument.

2009-01-21Revert "x86: signal: change type of paramter for sys_rt_sigreturn()"Ingo Molnar
This reverts commit 4217458dafaa57d8e26a46f5d05ab8c53cf64191. Justin Madru bisected this commit, it was causing weird Firefox crashes. The reason is that GCC mis-optimizes (re-uses) the on-stack parameters of the calling frame, which corrupts the syscall return pt_regs state and thus corrupts user-space register state. So we go back to the slightly less clean but more optimization-safe method of getting to pt_regs. Also add a comment to explain this.
