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.

xtensa: implement syscall tracepoints

2018-12-17T21:50:25Z

Add TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT flag definition; add _TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT to _TIF_WORK_MASK. Call trace_sys_enter from do_syscall_trace_enter and trace_sys_exit from do_syscall_trace_leave when TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT flag is set. Add declaration of sys_call_table to arch/xtensa/include/asm/syscall.h Add definition of NR_syscalls to arch/xtensa/include/asm/unistd.h Select HAVE_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINTS. This change allows tracing each syscall entry and exit through the ftrace mechanism. Signed-off-by: Max Filippov

xtensa: implement tracehook functions and enable HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK

2018-12-17T21:50:22Z

Implement syscall_get_nr, syscall_rollback, syscall_get_error, syscall_{get,set}_return_value and syscall_{get,set}_arguments. Select HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK as Xtensa now has all support for that. Signed-off-by: Max Filippov

xtensa: define syscall_get_arch()

syscall_get_arch() is required to be implemented on all architectures in order to extend the generic ptrace API with PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO request. Signed-off-by: Dmitry V. Levin Acked-by: Max Filippov Signed-off-by: Max Filippov

sanitize rt_sigaction() situation a bit

2013-02-03T20:09:18Z

Switch from __ARCH_WANT_SYS_RT_SIGACTION to opposite (!CONFIG_ODD_RT_SIGACTION); the only two architectures that need it are alpha and sparc. The reason for use of CONFIG_... instead of __ARCH_... is that it's needed only kernel-side and doing it that way avoids a mess with include order on many architectures. Signed-off-by: Al Viro
