Merge branch 'syscalls-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brodo/linux

2018-04-03T04:22:12+00:00

Pull removal of in-kernel calls to syscalls from Dominik Brodowski: "System calls are interaction points between userspace and the kernel. Therefore, system call functions such as sys_xyzzy() or compat_sys_xyzzy() should only be called from userspace via the syscall table, but not from elsewhere in the kernel. At least on 64-bit x86, it will likely be a hard requirement from v4.17 onwards to not call system call functions in the kernel: It is better to use use a different calling convention for system calls there, where struct pt_regs is decoded on-the-fly in a syscall wrapper which then hands processing over to the actual syscall function. This means that only those parameters which are actually needed for a specific syscall are passed on during syscall entry, instead of filling in six CPU registers with random user space content all the time (which may cause serious trouble down the call chain). Those x86-specific patches will be pushed through the x86 tree in the near future. Moreover, rules on how data may be accessed may differ between kernel data and user data. This is another reason why calling sys_xyzzy() is generally a bad idea, and -- at most -- acceptable in arch-specific code. This patchset removes all in-kernel calls to syscall functions in the kernel with the exception of arch/. On top of this, it cleans up the three places where many syscalls are referenced or prototyped, namely kernel/sys_ni.c, include/linux/syscalls.h and include/linux/compat.h" * 'syscalls-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brodo/linux: (109 commits) bpf: whitelist all syscalls for error injection kernel/sys_ni: remove {sys_,sys_compat} from cond_syscall definitions kernel/sys_ni: sort cond_syscall() entries syscalls/x86: auto-create compat_sys_*() prototypes syscalls: sort syscall prototypes in include/linux/compat.h net: remove compat_sys_*() prototypes from net/compat.h syscalls: sort syscall prototypes in include/linux/syscalls.h kexec: move sys_kexec_load() prototype to syscalls.h x86/sigreturn: use SYSCALL_DEFINE0 x86: fix sys_sigreturn() return type to be long, not unsigned long x86/ioport: add ksys_ioperm() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_ioperm() mm: add ksys_readahead() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_readahead() mm: add ksys_mmap_pgoff() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_mmap_pgoff() mm: add ksys_fadvise64_64() helper; remove in-kernel call to sys_fadvise64_64() fs: add ksys_fallocate() wrapper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_fallocate() fs: add ksys_p{read,write}64() helpers; remove in-kernel calls to syscalls fs: add ksys_truncate() wrapper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_truncate() fs: add ksys_sync_file_range helper(); remove in-kernel calls to syscall kernel: add ksys_setsid() helper; remove in-kernel call to sys_setsid() kernel: add ksys_unshare() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_unshare() ...

x86/ioport: add ksys_ioperm() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_ioperm()

2018-04-02T18:16:12+00:00

Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_ioperm() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the same calling convention as sys_ioperm(). This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

vt: change SGR 21 to follow the standards

2018-03-14T16:58:44+00:00

ECMA-48 [1] (aka ISO 6429) has defined SGR 21 as "doubly underlined" since at least March 1984. The Linux kernel has treated it as SGR 22 "normal intensity" since it was added in Linux-0.96b in June 1992. Before that, it was simply ignored. Other terminal emulators have either ignored it, or treat it as double underline now. xterm for example added support in its 304 release (May 2014) [2] where it was previously ignoring it. Changing this behavior shouldn't be an issue: - It isn't a named capability in ncurses's terminfo database, so no script is using libtinfo/libcurses to look this up, or using tput to query & output the right sequence. - Any script assuming SGR 21 will reset intensity in all terminals already do not work correctly on non-Linux VTs (including running under screen/tmux/etc...). - If someone has written a script that only runs in the Linux VT, and they're using SGR 21 (instead of SGR 22), the output should still be readable. imo it's important to change this as the Linux VT's non-conformance is sometimes used as an argument for other terminal emulators to not implement SGR 21 at all, or do so incorrectly.

vfs: do bulk POLL* -> EPOLL* replacement

2018-02-11T22:34:03+00:00

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL* variables as described by Al, done by this script: for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'` for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^$[^\"]*$$\$/\\1E\\2/" $f; done done with de-mangling cleanups yet to come. NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost". For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al. The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we should be all done. Scripted-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

treewide: Switch DEFINE_TIMER callbacks to struct timer_list *

2017-11-21T23:57:05+00:00

This changes all DEFINE_TIMER() callbacks to use a struct timer_list pointer instead of unsigned long. Since the data argument has already been removed, none of these callbacks are using their argument currently, so this renames the argument to "unused". Done using the following semantic patch: @match_define_timer@ declarer name DEFINE_TIMER; identifier _timer, _callback; @@ DEFINE_TIMER(_timer, _callback); @change_callback depends on match_define_timer@ identifier match_define_timer._callback; type _origtype; identifier _origarg; @@ void -_callback(_origtype _origarg) +_callback(struct timer_list *unused) { ... } Signed-off-by: Kees Cook
