init: add an init_unlink helper

2020-07-31T06:17:52+00:00

Add a simple helper to unlink with a kernel space file name and switch the early init code over to it. Remove the now unused ksys_unlink. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

initrd: switch initrd loading to struct file based APIs

2020-07-30T06:22:47+00:00

There is no good reason to mess with file descriptors from in-kernel code, switch the initrd loading to struct file based read and writes instead. Also Pass an explicit offset instead of ->f_pos, and to make that easier, use file scope file structs and offsets everywhere except for identify_ramdisk_image instead of the current strange mix.

initrd: remove support for multiple floppies

2020-07-30T06:22:33+00:00

Remove the special handling for multiple floppies in the initrd code. No one should be using floppies for booting these days. (famous last words..) Includes a spelling fix from Colin Ian King . Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Acked-by: Linus Torvalds

init/: remove ineffective sparse disabling

2018-08-22T17:52:49+00:00

Sparse checking used to be disabled on init/do_mounts.c and a few related files because "Many of the syscalls used in this file expect some of the arguments to be __user pointers not __kernel pointers". However since 28128c61e ("kconfig.h: Include compiler types to avoid missed struct attributes") the checks are, in fact, not disabled anymore because of the more early include of "linux/compiler_types.h" So remove the now ineffective #undefery that was done to disable these warnings, as well as the associated comment.

init/ramdisk: use pr_cont() at the end of ramdisk loading

2018-04-11T17:28:36+00:00

Use pr_cont() at the end of ramdisk loading. This will avoid the rotator and an extra newline appearing in the dmesg. Before: RAMDISK: Loading 2436KiB [1 disk] into ram disk... | done. After: RAMDISK: Loading 2436KiB [1 disk] into ram disk... done.

fs: add ksys_read() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_read()

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

Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_read() 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_read(). This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

fs: add ksys_ioctl() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_ioctl()

2018-04-02T18:16:03+00:00

Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_ioctl() 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_ioctl(). After careful review, at least some of these calls could be converted to do_vfs_ioctl() in future. This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

fs: add ksys_open() wrapper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_open()

2018-04-02T18:16:01+00:00

fs: add ksys_close() wrapper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_close()

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

Using the ksys_close() wrapper allows us to get rid of in-kernel calls to the sys_close() 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_close(), with one subtle difference: The few places which checked the return value did not care about the return value re-writing in sys_close(), so simply use a wrapper around __close_fd(). This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.
