mips: generate uapi header and system call table files

2018-12-14T19:19:02+00:00

System call table generation script must be run to gener- ate unistd_(nr_)n64/n32/o32.h and syscall_table_32_o32/ 64_n64/64_n32/64-o32.h files. This patch will have changes which will invokes the script. This patch will generate unistd_(nr_)n64/n32/o32.h and syscall_table_32_o32/64_n64/64-n32/64-o32.h files by the syscall table generation script invoked by parisc/Make- file and the generated files against the removed files must be identical. The generated uapi header file will be included in uapi/- asm/unistd.h and generated system call table header file will be included by kernel/scall32-o32/64-n64/64-n32/- 64-o32.Sfile.

mips: remove syscall table entries

2018-12-14T19:19:01+00:00

The config flag - CONFIG_MIPS_MT_FPAFF uses to check whether which syscall entries need to be used in scall32-o32.S file. One of the patch in this patch series will generate syscall table file. But CONFIG_MIPS_MT_FPAFF flag will add more complexity in the script to generate the syscall table file. In order to come up with a common implementation across all archit- ecture, we need to remove mipsmt_sys_sched_setaffinity and mipsmt- _sys_sched_getaffinity from the table and define it in other way.

mips: add +1 to __NR_syscalls in uapi header

2018-12-14T19:19:01+00:00

All other architectures are hold a value for __NR_syscalls will be equal to the last system call number +1. But in mips architecture, __NR_syscalls hold the value equal to total number of system exits in the architecture. One of the patch in this patch series will genarate uapi header files. In order to make the implementation common across all architect- ures, add +1 to __NR_syscalls, which will be equal to the last system call number +1.

mips: remove unused macros

2018-12-14T19:13:40+00:00

Remove __NR_Linux_syscalls from uapi/asm/unistd.h as there is no users to use NR_syscalls macro in mips kernel. MAX_SYSCALL_NO can also remove as there is commit 2957c9e61ee9 ("[MIPS] IRIX: Goodbye and thanks for all the fish"), eight years ago.

MIPS: Remove pt_regs adjustments in indirect syscall handler

2017-08-29T13:48:34+00:00

If a restartable syscall is called using the indirect o32 syscall handler - eg: syscall(__NR_waitid, ...), then it is possible for the incorrect arguments to be passed to the syscall after it has been restarted. This is because the syscall handler tries to shift all the registers down one place in pt_regs so that when the syscall is restarted, the "real" syscall is called instead. Unfortunately it only shifts the arguments passed in registers, not the arguments on the user stack. This causes the 4th argument to be duplicated when the syscall is restarted. Fix by removing all the pt_regs shifting so that the indirect syscall handler is called again when the syscall is restarted. The comment "some syscalls like execve get their arguments from struct pt_regs" is long out of date so this should now be safe.

MIPS: Save static registers before sysmips

2017-06-28T10:22:40+00:00

The MIPS sysmips system call handler may return directly from the MIPS_ATOMIC_SET case (mips_atomic_set()) to syscall_exit. This path restores the static (callee saved) registers, however they won't have been saved on entry to the system call. Use the save_static_function() macro to create a __sys_sysmips wrapper function which saves the static registers before calling sys_sysmips, so that the correct static register state is restored by syscall_exit.
