ARM: 9107/1: syscall: always store thread_info->abi_syscall

2021-08-20T10:39:26Z

The system call number is used in a a couple of places, in particular ptrace, seccomp and /proc//syscall. The last one apparently never worked reliably on ARM for tasks that are not currently getting traced. Storing the syscall number in the normal entry path makes it work, as well as allowing us to see if the current system call is for OABI compat mode, which is the next thing I want to hook into. Since the thread_info->syscall field is not just the number any more, it is now renamed to abi_syscall. In kernels that enable both OABI and EABI, the upper bits of this field encode 0x900000 (__NR_OABI_SYSCALL_BASE) for OABI tasks, while normal EABI tasks do not set the upper bits. This makes it possible to implement the in_oabi_syscall() helper later. All other users of thread_info->syscall go through the syscall_get_nr() helper, which in turn filters out the ABI bits. Note that the ABI information is lost with PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL, so one cannot set the internal number to a particular version, but this was already the case. We could change it to let gdb encode the ABI type along with the syscall in a CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT-enabled kernel, but that itself would be a (backwards-compatible) ABI change, so I don't do it here.

ARM: 9067/1: syscalls: switch to generic syscallhdr.sh

2021-03-25T14:13:14Z

Many architectures duplicate similar shell scripts. This commit converts ARM to use scripts/syscallhdr.sh, and also collects OABI/OEBI syscalls into unistd-eabi.h/unistd-oabi.h, removing unistd-common.h. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Signed-off-by: Russell King

License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a license

2017-11-02T10:20:11Z

Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the license under which the file is supposed to be. This makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license. Update these files with an SPDX license identifier. The identifier was chosen based on the license information in the file. GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall exception: NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL code, without confusing license compliance tools. Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier. The format is: ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE) SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. The update does not remove existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will happen in a separate step. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the methodology of how this patch was researched.

ARM: convert to generated system call tables

2016-10-18T20:34:06Z

Convert ARM to use a similar mechanism to x86 to generate the unistd.h system call numbers and the various kernel system call tables. This means that rather than having to edit three places (asm/unistd.h for the total number of system calls, uapi/asm/unistd.h for the system call numbers, and arch/arm/kernel/calls.S for the call table) we have only one place to edit, making the process much more simple. The scripts have knowledge of the table padding requirements, so there's no need to worry about __NR_syscalls not fitting within the immediate constant field of ALU instructions anymore.
