uapi: export all headers under uapi directories

2017-05-10T15:21:54+00:00

Regularly, when a new header is created in include/uapi/, the developer forgets to add it in the corresponding Kbuild file. This error is usually detected after the release is out. In fact, all headers under uapi directories should be exported, thus it's useless to have an exhaustive list. After this patch, the following files, which were not exported, are now exported (with make headers_install_all): asm-arc/kvm_para.h asm-arc/ucontext.h asm-blackfin/shmparam.h asm-blackfin/ucontext.h asm-c6x/shmparam.h asm-c6x/ucontext.h asm-cris/kvm_para.h asm-h8300/shmparam.h asm-h8300/ucontext.h asm-hexagon/shmparam.h asm-m32r/kvm_para.h asm-m68k/kvm_para.h asm-m68k/shmparam.h asm-metag/kvm_para.h asm-metag/shmparam.h asm-metag/ucontext.h asm-mips/hwcap.h asm-mips/reg.h asm-mips/ucontext.h asm-nios2/kvm_para.h asm-nios2/ucontext.h asm-openrisc/shmparam.h asm-parisc/kvm_para.h asm-powerpc/perf_regs.h asm-sh/kvm_para.h asm-sh/ucontext.h asm-tile/shmparam.h asm-unicore32/shmparam.h asm-unicore32/ucontext.h asm-x86/hwcap2.h asm-xtensa/kvm_para.h drm/armada_drm.h drm/etnaviv_drm.h drm/vgem_drm.h linux/aspeed-lpc-ctrl.h linux/auto_dev-ioctl.h linux/bcache.h linux/btrfs_tree.h linux/can/vxcan.h linux/cifs/cifs_mount.h linux/coresight-stm.h linux/cryptouser.h linux/fsmap.h linux/genwqe/genwqe_card.h linux/hash_info.h linux/kcm.h linux/kcov.h linux/kfd_ioctl.h linux/lightnvm.h linux/module.h linux/nbd-netlink.h linux/nilfs2_api.h linux/nilfs2_ondisk.h linux/nsfs.h linux/pr.h linux/qrtr.h linux/rpmsg.h linux/sched/types.h linux/sed-opal.h linux/smc.h linux/smc_diag.h linux/stm.h linux/switchtec_ioctl.h linux/vfio_ccw.h linux/wil6210_uapi.h rdma/bnxt_re-abi.h Note that I have removed from this list the files which are generated in every exported directories (like .install or .install.cmd). Thanks to Julien Floret for the tip to get all subdirs with a pure makefile command. For the record, note that exported files for asm directories are a mix of files listed by: - include/uapi/asm-generic/Kbuild.asm; - arch//include/uapi/asm/Kbuild; - arch//include/asm/Kbuild.

ARC: syscall for userspace cmpxchg assist

2016-10-24T16:24:26+00:00

Older ARC700 cores (ARC750 specifically) lack instructions to implement atomic r-w-w. This is problematic for userspace libraries such as NPTL which need atomic primitives. So enable them by providing kernel assist. This is costly but really the only sane soluton (othern than tight spinning using the otherwise availiable atomic exchange EX instruciton). Good thing is there are only a few of these cores running Linux out in the wild. This only works on UP systems. Reviewed-by: Colin Ian King Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

ARC: Support syscall ABI v4

2016-08-19T17:44:34+00:00

The syscall ABI includes the gcc functional calling ABI since a syscall implies userland caller and kernel callee. The current gcc ABI (v3) for ARCv2 ISA required 64-bit data be passed in even-odd register pairs, (potentially punching reg holes when passing such values as args). This was partly driven by the fact that the double-word LDD/STD instructions in ARCv2 expect the register alignment and thus gcc forcing this avoids extra MOV at the cost of a few unused register (which we have plenty anyways). This however was rejected as part of upstreaming gcc port to HS. So the new ABI v4 doesn't enforce the even-odd reg restriction. Do note that for ARCompact ISA builds v3 and v4 are practically the same in terms of gcc code generation. In terms of change management, we infer the new ABI if gcc 6.x onwards is used for building the kernel. This also needs a stable backport to enable older kernels to work with new tools/user-space Cc: Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

asm-generic: Drop renameat syscall from default list

2016-05-04T22:42:21+00:00

The newer renameat2 syscall provides all the functionality provided by the renameat syscall and adds flags, so future architectures won't need to include renameat. Therefore drop the renameat syscall from the generic syscall list unless __ARCH_WANT_RENAMEAT is defined by the architecture's unistd.h prior to including asm-generic/unistd.h, and adjust all architectures using the generic syscall list to define it so that no in-tree architectures are affected.
