The problem that makes us use wrappers is that some compat architectures allows user code to access top halves of registers. This is not a problem for syscalls that are already handled by compat code, or for that who has types of the same size in kernel and userspace. In case of s390 and lp64/ilp32 the problem is in pointer types, long, unsigned long. S390 folks already have the solution for it. In this patchset, it is turned to be general, as arm64/ilp32 needs it too. This patchset is created as the part of the work of enabling arm64 with ILP32 user mode. See details here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/2126946 Build-tested on s390. Yury Norov (5): all: s390: move wrapper infrastructure to generic headers all: declare new wrappers all: s390: redefine wrappers in generic code all: non-obvious wrappers introduce COMPAT_WRAPPER option and enable it for S390 arch/Kconfig | 4 + arch/s390/Kconfig | 1 + arch/s390/include/asm/compat.h | 17 ++- arch/s390/kernel/Makefile | 2 +- arch/s390/kernel/compat_wrapper.c | 179 ------------------------ arch/s390/kernel/entry.h | 2 + arch/s390/pci/pci_mmio.c | 5 +- drivers/char/random.c | 3 +- fs/aio.c | 4 +- fs/buffer.c | 3 +- fs/dcache.c | 3 +- fs/eventpoll.c | 4 +- fs/exec.c | 2 +- fs/fhandle.c | 3 +- fs/filesystems.c | 3 +- fs/namei.c | 29 ++-- fs/namespace.c | 7 +- fs/notify/inotify/inotify_user.c | 3 +- fs/open.c | 20 +-- fs/pipe.c | 5 +- fs/quota/quota.c | 3 +- fs/read_write.c | 2 +- fs/readdir.c | 6 + fs/select.c | 3 +- fs/splice.c | 4 +- fs/stat.c | 5 +- fs/xattr.c | 25 ++-- include/linux/compat.h | 280 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/linux/syscalls.h | 57 +------- include/linux/syscalls_structs.h | 60 ++++++++ include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h | 224 +++++++++++++++--------------- ipc/mqueue.c | 3 +- kernel/acct.c | 3 +- kernel/bpf/syscall.c | 3 +- kernel/capability.c | 5 +- kernel/events/core.c | 2 +- kernel/fork.c | 12 +- kernel/groups.c | 5 +- kernel/kcmp.c | 3 +- kernel/module.c | 7 +- kernel/printk/printk.c | 3 +- kernel/reboot.c | 3 +- kernel/sched/core.c | 11 +- kernel/seccomp.c | 2 +- kernel/signal.c | 6 +- kernel/sys.c | 16 +-- kernel/sys_ni.c | 104 +++++++------- mm/madvise.c | 3 +- mm/mincore.c | 3 +- mm/mlock.c | 7 +- mm/mmap.c | 7 +- mm/mprotect.c | 3 +- mm/mremap.c | 3 +- mm/msync.c | 3 +- mm/nommu.c | 7 +- mm/shmem.c | 3 +- mm/swapfile.c | 5 +- net/socket.c | 14 +- security/keys/keyctl.c | 5 +- 59 files changed, 699 insertions(+), 520 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 arch/s390/kernel/compat_wrapper.c create mode 100644 include/linux/syscalls_structs.h -- 2.5.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
