arm64: implement syscall wrappers
To minimize the risk of userspace-controlled values being used under
speculation, this patch adds pt_regs based syscall wrappers for arm64,
which pass the minimum set of required userspace values to syscall
implementations. For each syscall, a wrapper which takes a pt_regs
argument is automatically generated, and this extracts the arguments
before calling the "real" syscall implementation.
Each syscall has three functions generated:
* __do_<compat_>sys_<name> is the "real" syscall implementation, with
the expected prototype.
* __se_<compat_>sys_<name> is the sign-extension/narrowing wrapper,
inherited from common code. This takes a series of long parameters,
casting each to the requisite types required by the "real" syscall
implementation in __do_<compat_>sys_<name>.
This wrapper *may* not be necessary on arm64 given the AAPCS rules on
unused register bits, but it seemed safer to keep the wrapper for now.
* __arm64_<compat_>_sys_<name> takes a struct pt_regs pointer, and
extracts *only* the relevant register values, passing these on to the
__se_<compat_>sys_<name> wrapper.
The syscall invocation code is updated to handle the calling convention
required by __arm64_<compat_>_sys_<name>, and passes a single struct
pt_regs pointer.
The compiler can fold the syscall implementation and its wrappers, such
that the overhead of this approach is minimized.
Note that we play games with sys_ni_syscall(). It can't be defined with
SYSCALL_DEFINE0() because we must avoid the possibility of error
injection. Additionally, there are a couple of locations where we need
to call it from C code, and we don't (currently) have a
ksys_ni_syscall(). While it has no wrapper, passing in a redundant
pt_regs pointer is benign per the AAPCS.
When ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER is selected, no prototype is defines for
sys_ni_syscall(). Since we need to treat it differently for in-kernel
calls and the syscall tables, the prototype is defined as-required.
The wrappers are largely the same as their x86 counterparts, but
simplified as we don't have a variety of compat calling conventions that
require separate stubs. Unlike x86, we have some zero-argument compat
syscalls, and must define COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE0() to ensure that these
are also given an __arm64_compat_sys_ prefix.
