arm64: fix building without CONFIG_UID16

2016-02-12T07:57:59+00:00

commit fbc416ff86183e2203cdf975e2881d7c164b0271 upstream. As reported by Michal Simek, building an ARM64 kernel with CONFIG_UID16 disabled currently fails because the system call table still needs to reference the individual function entry points that are provided by kernel/sys_ni.c in this case, and the declarations are hidden inside of #ifdef CONFIG_UID16: arch/arm64/include/asm/unistd32.h:57:8: error: 'sys_lchown16' undeclared here (not in a function) __SYSCALL(__NR_lchown, sys_lchown16) I believe this problem only exists on ARM64, because older architectures tend to not need declarations when their system call table is built in assembly code, while newer architectures tend to not need UID16 support. ARM64 only uses these system calls for compatibility with 32-bit ARM binaries. This changes the CONFIG_UID16 check into CONFIG_HAVE_UID16, which is set unconditionally on ARM64 with CONFIG_COMPAT, so we see the declarations whenever we need them, but otherwise the behavior is unchanged.

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).
