CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX: cleanup.

2013-03-15T04:39:43Z

We have CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX, which three archs define to the string "_". But Al Viro broke this in "consolidate cond_syscall and SYSCALL_ALIAS declarations" (in linux-next), and he's not the first to do so. Using CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is awkward, since we usually just want to prefix it so something. So various places define helpers which are defined to nothing if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX isn't set: 1) include/asm-generic/unistd.h defines __SYMBOL_PREFIX. 2) include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h defines VMLINUX_SYMBOL(sym) 3) include/linux/export.h defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX. 4) include/linux/kernel.h defines SYMBOL_PREFIX (which differs from #7) 5) kernel/modsign_certificate.S defines ASM_SYMBOL(sym) 6) scripts/modpost.c defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX 7) scripts/Makefile.lib defines SYMBOL_PREFIX on the commandline if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is set, so that we have a non-string version for pasting. (arch/h8300/include/asm/linkage.h defines SYMBOL_NAME(), too). Let's solve this properly: 1) No more generic prefix, just CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX. 2) Make linux/export.h usable from asm. 3) Define VMLINUX_SYMBOL() and VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR(). 4) Make everyone use them.

asm-generic/unistd.h: handle symbol prefixes in cond_syscall

2013-03-02T20:09:14Z

Some architectures have symbol prefixes and set CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX, but this wasn't taken into account by the generic cond_syscall. It's easy enough to fix in a generic fashion, so add the symbol prefix to symbol names in cond_syscall when CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is set.

UAPI: Fix the guards on various asm/unistd.h files

2012-10-04T11:10:18Z

asm-generic/unistd.h and a number of asm/unistd.h files have been given reinclusion guards that allow the guard to be overridden if __SYSCALL is defined. Unfortunately, these files define __SYSCALL and don't undefine it when they've finished with it, thus rendering the guard ineffective. The reason for this override is to allow the file to be #included multiple times with different settings on __SYSCALL for purposes like generating syscall tables. The following guards are problematic: arch/arm64/include/asm/unistd.h:#if !defined(__ASM_UNISTD_H) || defined(__SYSCALL) arch/arm64/include/asm/unistd32.h:#if !defined(__ASM_UNISTD32_H) || defined(__SYSCALL) arch/c6x/include/asm/unistd.h:#if !defined(_ASM_C6X_UNISTD_H) || defined(__SYSCALL) arch/hexagon/include/asm/unistd.h:#if !defined(_ASM_HEXAGON_UNISTD_H) || defined(__SYSCALL) arch/openrisc/include/asm/unistd.h:#if !defined(__ASM_OPENRISC_UNISTD_H) || defined(__SYSCALL) arch/score/include/asm/unistd.h:#if !defined(_ASM_SCORE_UNISTD_H) || defined(__SYSCALL) arch/tile/include/asm/unistd.h:#if !defined(_ASM_TILE_UNISTD_H) || defined(__SYSCALL) arch/unicore32/include/asm/unistd.h:#if !defined(__UNICORE_UNISTD_H__) || defined(__SYSCALL) include/asm-generic/unistd.h:#if !defined(_ASM_GENERIC_UNISTD_H) || defined(__SYSCALL) On the assumption that the guards' ineffectiveness has passed unnoticed, just remove these guards entirely.

syscalls: add __NR_kcmp syscall to generic unistd.h

2012-09-26T19:26:30Z

Commit d97b46a64 ("syscalls, x86: add __NR_kcmp syscall" ) added a new syscall to support checkpoint restore. It is currently x86-only, but that restriction will be removed in a subsequent patch. Unfortunately, the kernel checksyscalls script had a bug which suppressed any warning to other architectures that the kcmp syscall was not implemented. A patch to checksyscalls is being tested in linux-next and other architectures are seeing warnings about kcmp being unimplemented. This patch adds __NR_kcmp to so that kcmp is wired in for architectures using the generic syscall list. Signed-off-by: Mark Salter Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann

compat: use sys_sendfile64() implementation for sendfile syscall

2012-03-27T17:36:57Z

was set up to use sys_sendfile() for the 32-bit compat API instead of sys_sendfile64(), but in fact the right thing to do is to use sys_sendfile64() in all cases. The 32-bit sendfile64() API in glibc uses the sendfile64 syscall, so it has to be capable of doing full 64-bit operations. But the sys_sendfile() kernel implementation has a MAX_NON_LFS test in it which explicitly limits the offset to 2^32. So, we need to use the sys_sendfile64() implementation in the kernel for this case. Cc: Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf
