Unlike normal compat syscall variants, it is needed only for
biarch architectures that have different alignement requirements for
u64 in 32bit and 64bit ABI *and* have __put_user() that won't handle
a store of 64bit value at 32bit-aligned address. We used to have one
such (ia64), but its biarch support has been gone since 2010 (after
being broken in 2008, which went unnoticed since nobody had been using
it).
It had escaped removal at the same time only because back in 2004
a patch that switched several syscalls on amd64 from private wrappers to
generic compat ones had switched to use of compat_sys_getdents64(), which
hadn't needed (or used) a compat wrapper on amd64.
Let's bury it - it's at least 7 years overdue.

experimented with using signal_pending() instead of

File-private locks have been merged into Linux for v3.15, and *now*
people are commenting that the name and macro definitions for the new
file-private locks suck.
...and I can't even disagree. The names and command macros do suck.
We're going to have to live with these for a long time, so it's
important that we be happy with the names before we're stuck with them.
The consensus on the lists so far is that they should be rechristened as
"open file description locks".
The name isn't a big deal for the kernel, but the command macros are not
visually distinct enough from the traditional POSIX lock macros. The
glibc and documentation folks are recommending that we change them to
look like F_OFD_{GETLK|SETLK|SETLKW}. That lessens the chance that a
programmer will typo one of the commands wrong, and also makes it easier
to spot this difference when reading code.
This patch makes the following changes that I think are necessary before
v3.15 ships:
1) rename the command macros to their new names. These end up in the uapi
headers and so are part of the external-facing API. It turns out that
glibc doesn't actually use the fcntl.h uapi header, but it's hard to
be sure that something else won't. Changing it now is safest.
2) make the the /proc/locks output display these as type "OFDLCK"

Due to some unfortunate history, POSIX locks have very strange and
unhelpful semantics. The thing that usually catches people by surprise
is that they are dropped whenever the process closes any file descriptor
associated with the inode.
This is extremely problematic for people developing file servers that
need to implement byte-range locks. Developers often need a "lock
management" facility to ensure that file descriptors are not closed
until all of the locks associated with the inode are finished.
Additionally, "classic" POSIX locks are owned by the process. Locks
taken between threads within the same process won't conflict with one
another, which renders them useless for synchronization between threads.
This patchset adds a new type of lock that attempts to address these
issues. These locks conflict with classic POSIX read/write locks, but
have semantics that are more like BSD locks with respect to inheritance
and behavior on close.
This is implemented primarily by changing how fl_owner field is set for
these locks. Instead of having them owned by the files_struct of the
process, they are instead owned by the filp on which they were acquired.
Thus, they are inherited across fork() and are only released when the
last reference to a filp is put.
These new semantics prevent them from being merged with classic POSIX
locks, even if they are acquired by the same process. These locks will
also conflict with classic POSIX locks even if they are acquired by
the same process or on the same file descriptor.
The new locks are managed using a new set of cmd values to the fcntl()
syscall. The initial implementation of this converts these values to
"classic" cmd values at a fairly high level, and the details are not
exposed to the underlying filesystem. We may eventually want to push
this handing out to the lower filesystem code but for now I don't
see any need for it.
Also, note that with this implementation the new cmd values are only
available via fcntl64() on 32-bit arches. There's little need to
add support for legacy apps on a new interface like this.

Some fs compat system calls have unsigned long parameters instead of
compat_ulong_t.
In order to allow the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE macro generate code that
performs proper zero and sign extension convert all 64 bit parameters
their corresponding 32 bit counterparts.
compat_sys_io_getevents() is a bit different: the non-compat version
has signed parameters for the "min_nr" and "nr" parameters while the
compat version has unsigned parameters.
So change this as well. For all practical purposes this shouldn't make
any difference (doesn't fix a real bug).
Also introduce a generic compat_aio_context_t type which can be used
everywhere.
The access_ok() check within compat_sys_io_getevents() got also removed
since the non-compat sys_io_getevents() should be able to handle
everything anyway.

For architecture dependent compat syscalls in common code an architecture
must define something like __ARCH_WANT_<WHATEVER> if it wants to use the
code.
This however is not true for compat_sys_getdents64 for which architectures
must define __ARCH_OMIT_COMPAT_SYS_GETDENTS64 if they do not want the code.
This leads to the situation where all architectures, except mips, get the
compat code but only x86_64, arm64 and the generic syscall architectures
actually use it.
So invert the logic, so that architectures actively must do something to
get the compat code.
This way a couple of architectures get rid of otherwise dead code.

We have two APIs for compatiblity timespec/val, with confusingly
similar names. compat_(get|put)_time(val|spec) *do* handle the case
where COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME is set, whereas
(get|put)_compat_time(val|spec) do not. This is an accident waiting
to happen.
Clean it up by favoring the full-service version; the limited version
is replaced with double-underscore versions static to kernel/compat.c.
A common pattern is to convert a struct timespec to kernel format in
an allocation on the user stack. Unfortunately it is open-coded in
several places. Since this allocation isn't actually needed if
COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME is true (since user format == kernel format)
encapsulate that whole pattern into the function
compat_convert_timespec(). An equivalent function should be written
for struct timeval if it is needed in the future.
Finally, get rid of compat_(get|put)_timeval_convert(): each was only
used once, and the latter was not even doing what the function said
(no conversion actually was being done.) Moving the conversion into
compat_sys_settimeofday() itself makes the code much more similar to
sys_settimeofday() itself.
v3: Remove unused compat_convert_timeval().
v2: Drop bogus "const" in the destination argument for
compat_convert_time*().

Looking at mm/process_vm_access.c:process_vm_rw() and comparing it to
compat_process_vm_rw() shows that the compatibility code requires an
explicit "access_ok()" check before calling
compat_rw_copy_check_uvector(). The same difference seems to appear when
we compare fs/read_write.c:do_readv_writev() to
fs/compat.c:compat_do_readv_writev().
This subtle difference between the compat and non-compat requirements
should probably be debated, as it seems to be error-prone. In fact,
there are two others sites that use this function in the Linux kernel,
and they both seem to get it wrong:
Now shifting our attention to fs/aio.c, we see that aio_setup_iocb()
also ends up calling compat_rw_copy_check_uvector() through
aio_setup_vectored_rw(). Unfortunately, the access_ok() check appears to
be missing. Same situation for
security/keys/compat.c:compat_keyctl_instantiate_key_iov().
I propose that we add the access_ok() check directly into
compat_rw_copy_check_uvector(), so callers don't have to worry about it,
and it therefore makes the compat call code similar to its non-compat
counterpart. Place the access_ok() check in the same location where
copy_from_user() can trigger a -EFAULT error in the non-compat code, so
the ABI behaviors are alike on both compat and non-compat.
While we are here, fix compat_do_readv_writev() so it checks for
compat_rw_copy_check_uvector() negative return values.
And also, fix a memory leak in compat_keyctl_instantiate_key_iov() error
handling.

getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.
For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.
This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.
Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.

This function is used by sparc, powerpc and arm64 for compat support.
The patch adds a generic implementation which calls do_sendfile()
directly and avoids set_fs().
The sparc architecture has wrappers for the sign extensions while
powerpc relies on the compiler to do the this. The patch adds wrappers
for powerpc to handle the u32->int type conversion.
compat_sys_sendfile64() can be replaced by a sys_sendfile() call since
compat_loff_t has the same size as off_t on a 64-bit system.
On powerpc, the patch also changes the 64-bit sendfile call from
sys_sendile64 to sys_sendfile.
