y2038: remove unused time32 interfaces

2020-02-21T19:22:15+00:00

No users remain, so kill these off before we grow new ones. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200110154232.4104492-3-arnd@arndb.de Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Acked-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Deepa Dinamani Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Pull y2038 cleanups from Arnd Bergmann: "y2038 syscall implementation cleanups This is a series of cleanups for the y2038 work, mostly intended for namespace cleaning: the kernel defines the traditional time_t, timeval and timespec types that often lead to y2038-unsafe code. Even though the unsafe usage is mostly gone from the kernel, having the types and associated functions around means that we can still grow new users, and that we may be missing conversions to safe types that actually matter. There are still a number of driver specific patches needed to get the last users of these types removed, those have been submitted to the respective maintainers" Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191108210236.1296047-1-arnd@arndb.de/ * tag 'y2038-cleanups-5.5' of git://git.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/playground: (26 commits) y2038: alarm: fix half-second cut-off y2038: ipc: fix x32 ABI breakage y2038: fix typo in powerpc vdso "LOPART" y2038: allow disabling time32 system calls y2038: itimer: change implementation to timespec64 y2038: move itimer reset into itimer.c y2038: use compat_{get,set}_itimer on alpha y2038: itimer: compat handling to itimer.c y2038: time: avoid timespec usage in settimeofday() y2038: timerfd: Use timespec64 internally y2038: elfcore: Use __kernel_old_timeval for process times y2038: make ns_to_compat_timeval use __kernel_old_timeval y2038: socket: use __kernel_old_timespec instead of timespec y2038: socket: remove timespec reference in timestamping y2038: syscalls: change remaining timeval to __kernel_old_timeval y2038: rusage: use __kernel_old_timeval y2038: uapi: change __kernel_time_t to __kernel_old_time_t y2038: stat: avoid 'time_t' in 'struct stat' y2038: ipc: remove __kernel_time_t reference from headers y2038: vdso: powerpc: avoid timespec references ...

y2038: uapi: change __kernel_time_t to __kernel_old_time_t

2019-11-15T13:38:29+00:00

This is mainly a patch for clarification, and to let us remove the time_t definition from the kernel to prevent new users from creeping in that might not be y2038-safe. All remaining uses of 'time_t' or '__kernel_time_t' are part of the user API that cannot be changed by that either have a replacement or that do not suffer from the y2038 overflow.

lib/sort: Move swap, cmp and cmp_r function types for wider use

2019-11-14T18:15:11+00:00

The function types for swap, cmp and cmp_r functions are already being in use by modules. Move them to types.h that everybody in kernel will be able to use generic types instead of custom ones. This adds more sense to the comment in bsearch() later on.

locking/atomic: Use s64 for atomic64_t on 64-bit

2019-06-03T10:32:57+00:00

Now that all architectures use 64 consistently as the base type for the atomic64 API, let's have the CONFIG_64BIT definition of atomic64_t use s64 as the underlying type for atomic64_t, rather than long, matching the generated headers. On architectures where atomic64_read(v) is READ_ONCE(v->counter), this patch will cause the return type of atomic64_read() to be s64. As of this patch, the atomic64 API can be relied upon to consistently return s64 where a value rather than boolean condition is returned. This should make code more robust, and simpler, allowing for the removal of casts previously required to ensure consistent types.

block: remove CONFIG_LBDAF

2019-04-06T16:48:35+00:00

Currently support for 64-bit sector_t and blkcnt_t is optional on 32-bit architectures. These types are required to support block device and/or file sizes larger than 2 TiB, and have generally defaulted to on for a long time. Enabling the option only increases the i386 tinyconfig size by 145 bytes, and many data structures already always use 64-bit values for their in-core and on-disk data structures anyway, so there should not be a large change in dynamic memory usage either. Dropping this option removes a somewhat weird non-default config that has cause various bugs or compiler warnings when actually used. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

types: Remove call_rcu_bh() and call_rcu_sched()

2018-12-01T20:38:48+00:00

Now that call_rcu()'s callback is not invoked until after bh-disable and preempt-disable regions of code have completed (in addition to explicitly marked RCU read-side critical sections), call_rcu() can be used in place of call_rcu_bh() and call_rcu_sched(). This commit therefore removes these two API members from the callback_head structure's header comment. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
