2018-04-02ipc: add msgsnd syscall/compat_syscall wrappersDominik Brodowski3-6/+22
Provide ksys_msgsnd() and compat_ksys_msgsnd() wrappers to avoid in-kernel calls to these syscalls. The ksys_ prefix denotes that these functions are meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscalls. In particular, they use the same calling convention as sys_msgsnd() and compat_sys_msgsnd(). This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

2018-04-02net: socket: move check for forbid_cmsg_compat to __sys_...msg()Dominik Brodowski3-22/+37
The non-compat codepaths for sys_...msg() verify that MSG_CMSG_COMPAT is not set. By moving this check to the __sys_...msg() functions (and making it dependent on a static flag passed to this function), we can call the __sys...msg() functions instead of the syscall functions in all cases. __sys_recvmmsg() does not need this trickery, as the check is handled within the do_sys_recvmmsg() function internal to net/socket.c.

2018-04-02kernel: use kernel_wait4() instead of sys_wait4()Dominik Brodowski3-6/+6
All call sites of sys_wait4() set *rusage to NULL. Therefore, there is no need for the copy_to_user() handling of *rusage, and we can use kernel_wait4() directly. This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

2018-03-25syscalls: define and explain goal to not call syscalls in the kernelDominik Brodowski2-0/+39
The syscall entry points to the kernel defined by SYSCALL_DEFINEx() and COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() should only be called from userspace through kernel entry points, but not from the kernel itself. This will allow cleanups and optimizations to the entry paths *and* to the parts of the kernel code which currently need to pretend to be userspace in order to make use of syscalls.

2018-03-11dmaengine: mv_xor_v2: Fix clock resource by adding a register clockGregory CLEMENT2-6/+25
On the CP110 components which are present on the Armada 7K/8K SoC we need to explicitly enable the clock for the registers. However it is not needed for the AP8xx component, that's why this clock is optional. With this patch both clock have now a name, but in order to be backward compatible, the name of the first clock is not used. It allows to still use this clock with a device tree using the old binding.
