powerpc: fix EDEADLOCK redefinition error in uapi/asm/errno.h

2021-05-22T08:38:19+00:00

commit 7de21e679e6a789f3729e8402bc440b623a28eae upstream. A few archs like powerpc have different errno.h values for macros EDEADLOCK and EDEADLK. In code including both libc and linux versions of errno.h, this can result in multiple definitions of EDEADLOCK in the include chain. Definitions to the same value (e.g. seen with mips) do not raise warnings, but on powerpc there are redefinitions changing the value, which raise warnings and errors (if using "-Werror"). Guard against these redefinitions to avoid build errors like the following, first seen cross-compiling libbpf v5.8.9 for powerpc using GCC 8.4.0 with musl 1.1.24: In file included from ../../arch/powerpc/include/uapi/asm/errno.h:5, from ../../include/linux/err.h:8, from libbpf.c:29: ../../include/uapi/asm-generic/errno.h:40: error: "EDEADLOCK" redefined [-Werror] #define EDEADLOCK EDEADLK In file included from toolchain-powerpc_8540_gcc-8.4.0_musl/include/errno.h:10, from libbpf.c:26: toolchain-powerpc_8540_gcc-8.4.0_musl/include/bits/errno.h:58: note: this is the location of the previous definition #define EDEADLOCK 58 cc1: all warnings being treated as errors Cc: Stable Reported-by: Rosen Penev Signed-off-by: Tony Ambardar Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200917135437.1238787-1-Tony.Ambardar@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

powerpc/kernel: Switch to using MAX_ERRNO

2015-07-29T01:56:11+00:00

Currently on powerpc we have our own #define for the highest (negative) errno value, called _LAST_ERRNO. This is defined to be 516, for reasons which are not clear. The generic code, and x86, use MAX_ERRNO, which is defined to be 4095. In particular seccomp uses MAX_ERRNO to restrict the value that a seccomp filter can return. Currently with the mismatch between _LAST_ERRNO and MAX_ERRNO, a seccomp tracer wanting to return 600, expecting it to be seen as an error, would instead find on powerpc that userspace sees a successful syscall with a return value of 600. To avoid this inconsistency, switch powerpc to use MAX_ERRNO. We are somewhat confident that generic syscalls that can return a non-error value above negative MAX_ERRNO have already been updated to use force_successful_syscall_return(). I have also checked all the powerpc specific syscalls, and believe that none of them expect to return a non-error value between -MAX_ERRNO and -516. So this change should be safe ...
