syscalls.h: add forward declarations for inplace syscall wrappers

Unclutter -Wmissing-prototypes warning types (enabled at make W=1) linux/include/linux/syscalls.h:190:18: warning: no previous prototype for 'SyS_semctl' [-Wmissing-prototypes] asmlinkage long SyS##name(__MAP(x,__SC_LONG,__VA_ARGS__)) \ ^ linux/include/linux/syscalls.h:183:2: note: in expansion of macro '__SYSCALL_DEFINEx' __SYSCALL_DEFINEx(x, sname, __VA_ARGS__) ^ by adding forward declarations right before definitions.

microblaze: fix clone syscall

2013-08-14T00:57:48+00:00

Fix inadvertent breakage in the clone syscall ABI for Microblaze that was introduced in commit f3268edbe6fe ("microblaze: switch to generic fork/vfork/clone"). The Microblaze syscall ABI for clone takes the parent tid address in the 4th argument; the third argument slot is used for the stack size. The incorrectly-used CLONE_BACKWARDS type assigned parent tid to the 3rd slot. This commit restores the original ABI so that existing userspace libc code will work correctly. All kernel versions from v3.8-rc1 were affected. Signed-off-by: Michal Simek Cc: Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

syscalls.h: slightly reduce the jungles of macros

2013-03-05T20:36:40+00:00

a) teach __MAP(num, m, ) to take empty list (with num being 0, of course) b) fold types__... and args__... declaration and initialization into SYSCALL_METADATA(num, ...), making their use conditional on num != 0. That allows to use the SYSCALL_METADATA instead of its near-duplicate in SYSCALL_DEFINE0. c) make SYSCALL_METADATA expand to nothing in case if CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS is not defined; that allows to make SYSCALL_DEFINE0 and SYSCALL_DEFINEx definitions independent from CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS. d) kill SYSCALL_DEFINE - no users left (SYSCALL_DEFINE[0-6] is, of course, still alive and well).

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 SYSCALL_DEFINE-generated wrappers do asmlinkage_protect

2013-03-04T03:58:33+00:00

... and switch i386 to HAVE_SYSCALL_WRAPPERS, killing open-coded uses of asmlinkage_protect() in a bunch of syscalls. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

make HAVE_SYSCALL_WRAPPERS unconditional

consolidate cond_syscall and SYSCALL_ALIAS declarations

2013-03-04T03:55:19+00:00

take them to asm/linkage.h, with default in linux/linkage.h Signed-off-by: Al Viro

teach SYSCALL_DEFINE how to deal with long long/unsigned long long

2013-03-04T03:46:22+00:00

... and convert a bunch of SYSCALL_DEFINE ones to SYSCALL_DEFINE, killing the boilerplate crap around them. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

get rid of duplicate logics in __SC_....[1-6] definitions

2013-03-04T03:46:21+00:00

All those guys have the same form - "take a list of type/name pairs, apply some macro to each of them". Abstract that part away, convert all __SC_FOO##x(__VA_ARGS__) to __MAP(x,__SC_FOO,__VA_ARGS__). Signed-off-by: Al Viro
