syscalls: Remove start and number from syscall_set_arguments() args

2019-04-05T13:27:23Z

After removing the start and count arguments of syscall_get_arguments() it seems reasonable to remove them from syscall_set_arguments(). Note, as of today, there are no users of syscall_set_arguments(). But we are told that there will be soon. But for now, at least make it consistent with syscall_get_arguments().

syscalls: Remove start and number from syscall_get_arguments() args

2019-04-05T13:26:43Z

At Linux Plumbers, Andy Lutomirski approached me and pointed out that the function call syscall_get_arguments() implemented in x86 was horribly written and not optimized for the standard case of passing in 0 and 6 for the starting index and the number of system calls to get. When looking at all the users of this function, I discovered that all instances pass in only 0 and 6 for these arguments. Instead of having this function handle different cases that are never used, simply rewrite it to return the first 6 arguments of a system call. This should help out the performance of tracing system calls by ptrace, ftrace and perf.

riscv: Fix syscall_get_arguments() and syscall_set_arguments()

2019-04-04T14:25:31Z

RISC-V syscall arguments are located in orig_a0,a1..a5 fields of struct pt_regs. Due to an off-by-one bug and a bug in pointer arithmetic syscall_get_arguments() was reading s3..s7 fields instead of a1..a5. Likewise, syscall_set_arguments() was writing s3..s7 fields instead of a1..a5.

RISC-V: User-facing API

2017-09-26T22:26:48Z

This patch contains code that is in some way visible to the user: including via system calls, the VDSO, module loading and signal handling. It also contains some generic code that is ABI visible. Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt
