From bfe3911a91047557eb0e620f95a370aee6a248c7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Wilson Date: Fri, 5 Feb 2021 22:00:12 +0000 Subject: kcmp: Support selection of SYS_kcmp without CHECKPOINT_RESTORE Userspace has discovered the functionality offered by SYS_kcmp and has started to depend upon it. In particular, Mesa uses SYS_kcmp for os_same_file_description() in order to identify when two fd (e.g. device or dmabuf) point to the same struct file. Since they depend on it for core functionality, lift SYS_kcmp out of the non-default CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE into the selectable syscall category. Rasmus Villemoes also pointed out that systemd uses SYS_kcmp to deduplicate the per-service file descriptor store. Note that some distributions such as Ubuntu are already enabling CHECKPOINT_RESTORE in their configs and so, by extension, SYS_kcmp.
