sparc: semtimedop() unreachable due to comparison error

2015-03-03T22:05:48+00:00

A bug was reported that the semtimedop() system call was always failing eith ENOSYS. Since SEMCTL is defined as 3, and SEMTIMEDOP is defined as 4, the comparison "call <= SEMCTL" will always prevent SEMTIMEDOP from getting through to the semaphore ops switch statement. This is corrected by changing the comparison to "call <= SEMTIMEDOP". Orabug: 20633375 Signed-off-by: Rob Gardner Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sparc64: fix sparse warnings in sys_sparc_64.c + unaligned_64.c

2014-05-19T02:01:30+00:00

Fix following warnings: kernel/sys_sparc_64.c:643:17: warning: symbol 'sys_kern_features' was not declared. Should it be static? kernel/unaligned_64.c:297:17: warning: symbol 'kernel_unaligned_trap' was not declared.

Should it be static? kernel/unaligned_64.c:643:6: warning: symbol 'handle_stdfmna' was not declared. Should it be static? Functions that are only used in kernel/ - add prototypes in kernel.h Functions used outside kernel/ - add prototype in asm/setup.h Removed local prototypes One of the local prototypes had wrong signature (return void - not int).

sparc64: Clean up 64-bit mmap exclusion defines.

2013-11-12T23:22:33+00:00

Older UltraSPARC chips had an address space hole due to the MMU only supporting 44-bit virtual addresses. The top end of this hole also has the same value as the current definition of PAGE_OFFSET, so this can be confusing. Consolidate the defines for the userspace mmap exclusion range into page_64.h and use them in sys_sparc_64.c and hugetlbpage.c Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Acked-by: Bob Picco

mm: remove free_area_cache

Since all architectures have been converted to use vm_unmapped_area(), there is no remaining use for the free_area_cache. Signed-off-by: Michel Lespinasse Acked-by: Rik van Riel Cc: "James E.J.

get rid of union semop in sys_semctl(2) arguments

2013-03-05T20:14:16+00:00

just have the bugger take unsigned long and deal with SETVAL case (when we use an int member in the union) explicitly. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

make do_mremap() static

2013-03-04T15:47:59+00:00

The extern in sys_sparc_64.c was a rudiment of time when do_mremap() used to exist in MMU case (it doesn't anymore). As for !MMU one, nothing uses it outside of mm/nommu.c... Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal

2012-12-12T20:22:13+00:00

Pull big execve/kernel_thread/fork unification series from Al Viro: "All architectures are converted to new model. Quite a bit of that stuff is actually shared with architecture trees; in such cases it's literally shared branch pulled by both, not a cherry-pick. A lot of ugliness and black magic is gone (-3KLoC total in this one): - kernel_thread()/kernel_execve()/sys_execve() redesign. We don't do syscalls from kernel anymore for either kernel_thread() or kernel_execve(): kernel_thread() is essentially clone(2) with callback run before we return to userland, the callbacks either never return or do successful do_execve() before returning. kernel_execve() is a wrapper for do_execve() - it doesn't need to do transition to user mode anymore. As a result kernel_thread() and kernel_execve() are arch-independent now - they live in kernel/fork.c and fs/exec.c resp. sys_execve() is also in fs/exec.c and it's completely architecture-independent. - daemonize() is gone, along with its parts in fs/*.c - struct pt_regs * is no longer passed to do_fork/copy_process/ copy_thread/do_execve/search_binary_handler/->load_binary/do_coredump. - sys_fork()/sys_vfork()/sys_clone() unified; some architectures still need wrappers (ones with callee-saved registers not saved in pt_regs on syscall entry), but the main part of those suckers is in kernel/fork.c now." * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal: (113 commits) do_coredump(): get rid of pt_regs argument print_fatal_signal(): get rid of pt_regs argument ptrace_signal(): get rid of unused arguments get rid of ptrace_signal_deliver() arguments new helper: signal_pt_regs() unify default ptrace_signal_deliver flagday: kill pt_regs argument of do_fork() death to idle_regs() don't pass regs to copy_process() flagday: don't pass regs to copy_thread() bfin: switch to generic vfork, get rid of pointless wrappers xtensa: switch to generic clone() openrisc: switch to use of generic fork and clone unicore32: switch to generic clone(2) score: switch to generic fork/vfork/clone c6x: sanitize copy_thread(), get rid of clone(2) wrapper, switch to generic clone() take sys_fork/sys_vfork/sys_clone prototypes to linux/syscalls.h mn10300: switch to generic fork/vfork/clone h8300: switch to generic fork/vfork/clone tile: switch to generic clone() ...
