* powerpc: Enable compile-time check for syscall handlersRohan McLure2022-09-281-45/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The table of syscall handlers and registered compatibility syscall handlers has in past been produced using assembly, with function references resolved at link time. This moves link-time errors to compile-time, by rewriting systbl.S in C, and including the linux/syscalls.h, linux/compat.h and asm/syscalls.h headers for prototypes.

* powerpc/build: put sys_call_table in .data.rel.ro if RELOCATABLENicholas Piggin2022-09-261-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Const function pointers by convention live in .data.rel.ro if they need to be relocated. Now that .data.rel.ro is linked into the read-only region, put them in the right section. This doesn't make much practical difference, but it will make the C conversion of sys_call_table a smaller change as far as linking goes.

* powerpc/64/sycall: Implement syscall entry/exit logic in CNicholas Piggin2020-04-011-6/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | System call entry and particularly exit code is beyond the limit of what is reasonable to implement in asm. This conversion moves all conditional branches out of the asm code, except for the case that all GPRs should be restored at exit. Null syscall test is about 5% faster after this patch, because the exit work is handled under local_irq_disable, and the hard mask and pending interrupt replay is handled after that, which avoids games with MSR. mpe: Includes subsequent fixes from Nick: This fixes 4 issues caught by TM selftests. First was a tm-syscall bug that hit due to tabort_syscall being called after interrupts were reconciled (in a subsequent patch), which led to interrupts being enabled before tabort_syscall was called. Rather than going through an un-reconciling interrupts for the return, I just go back to putting the test early in asm, the C-ification of that wasn't a big win anyway. Second is the syscall return _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK check would go into an infinite loop if _TIF_RESTORE_TM became set. The asm code uses _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK to brach to slowpath which includes restore_tm_state. Third is system call return was not calling restore_tm_state, I missed this completely (alhtough it's in the return from interrupt C conversion because when the asm syscall code encountered problems it would branch to the interrupt return code. Fourth is MSR_VEC missing from restore_math, which was caught by tm-unavailable selftest taking an unexpected facility unavailable interrupt when testing VSX unavailble exception with MSR.FP=1 MSR.VEC=1. Fourth case also has a fixup in a subsequent patch.

* powerpc: split compat syscall table out from native tableFiroz Khan2018-12-211-7/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PowerPC uses a syscall table with native and compat calls interleaved, which is a slightly simpler way to define two matching tables. As we move to having the tables generated, that advantage is no longer important, but the interleaved table gets in the way of using the same scripts as on the other archit- ectures. Split out a new compat_sys_call_table symbol that contains all the compat calls, and leave the main table for the nat- ive calls, to more closely match the method we use every- where else.

* powerpc/syscalls: Add COMPAT_SPU_NEW() macroMichael Ellerman2018-05-101-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the select system call is wired up with the SYSX_SPU() macro. The SYSX_SPU() is not handled by systbl_chk.c, which means the syscall number for select is not checked. That hides the fact that the syscall number for select is actually __NR__newselect not __NR_select. In a following patch we'd like to drop ppc32_select() which means select will become a regular COMPAT_SYS_SPU() syscall. But COMPAT_SYS_SPU() can't deal with the fact that the syscall number is actually __NR__newselect. We also can't just redefine __NR_select because that's still used for the old select call. So add a new COMPAT_NEW_SPU() that does the same thing as COMPAT_SYS_SPU() except it encodes that we're using the new number. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

* powerpc: Add a proper syscall for switching endiannessMichael Ellerman2015-03-281-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently have a "special" syscall for switching endianness. This is syscall number 0x1ebe, which is handled explicitly in the 64-bit syscall exception entry. That has a few problems, firstly the syscall number is outside of the usual range, which confuses various tools. For example strace doesn't recognise the syscall at all. Secondly it's handled explicitly as a special case in the syscall exception entry, which is complicated enough without it. As a first step toward removing the special syscall, we need to add a regular syscall that implements the same functionality. The logic is simple, it simply toggles the MSR_LE bit in the userspace MSR. This is the same as the special syscall, with the caveat that the special syscall clobbers fewer registers. This version clobbers r9-r12, XER, CTR, and CR0-1,5-7. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
* powerpc: Use standard macros for sys_sigpending() & sys_old_getrlimit()Michael Ellerman2014-07-281-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we have sys_sigpending and sys_old_getrlimit defined to use COMPAT_SYS() in systbl.h, but then both are #defined to sys_ni_syscall in systbl.S. This seems to have been done when ppc and ppc64 were merged, in commit 9994a33 "Introduce entry_{32,64}.S, misc_{32,64}.S, systbl.S". AFAICS there's no longer (or never was) any need for this, we can just use SYSX() for both and remove the #defines to sys_ni_syscall. The expansion before was: #define COMPAT_SYS(func) .llong .sys_##func,.compat_sys_##func #define sys_old_getrlimit sys_ni_syscall COMPAT_SYS(old_getrlimit) => .llong .sys_old_getrlimit,.compat_sys_old_getrlimit => .llong .sys_ni_syscall,.compat_sys_old_getrlimit After is: #define SYSX(f, f3264, f32) .llong .f,.f3264 SYSX(sys_ni_syscall, compat_sys_old_getrlimit, sys_old_getrlimit) => .llong .sys_ni_syscall,.compat_sys_old_getrlimit ie. they are equivalent. Finally both COMPAT_SYS() and SYSX() evaluate to sys_ni_syscall in the Cell SPU code.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A careful reading of the recent changes to the system call entry/exit paths revealed several problems, plus some things that could be simplified and improved: * 32-bit wasn't testing the _TIF_NOERROR bit in the syscall fast exit path, so it was only doing anything with it once it saw some other bit being set. In other words, the noerror behaviour would apply to the next system call where we had to reschedule or deliver a signal, which is not necessarily the current system call. * 32-bit wasn't doing the call to ptrace_notify in the syscall exit path when the _TIF_SINGLESTEP bit was set. * _TIF_RESTOREALL was in both _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK and _TIF_PERSYSCALL_MASK, which is odd since _TIF_RESTOREALL is only set by system calls. I took it out of _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK. * On 64-bit, _TIF_RESTOREALL wasn't causing the non-volatile registers to be restored (unless perhaps a signal was delivered or the syscall was traced or single-stepped). Thus the non-volatile registers weren't restored on exit from a signal handler. We probably got away with it mostly because signal handlers written in C wouldn't alter the non-volatile registers. * On 32-bit I simplified the code and made it more like 64-bit by making the syscall exit path jump to ret_from_except to handle preemption and signal delivery. * 32-bit was calling do_signal unnecessarily when _TIF_RESTOREALL was set - but I think because of that 32-bit was actually restoring the non-volatile registers on exit from a signal handler. * I changed the order of enabling interrupts and saving the non-volatile registers before calling do_syscall_trace_leave; now we enable interrupts first.

* [PATCH] syscall entry/exit revampDavid Woodhouse2006-01-091-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This cleanup patch speeds up the null syscall path on ppc64 by about 3%, and brings the ppc32 and ppc64 code slightly closer together. The ppc64 code was checking current_thread_info()->flags twice in the syscall exit path; once for TIF_SYSCALL_T_OR_A before disabling interrupts, and then again for TIF_SIGPENDING|TIF_NEED_RESCHED etc after disabling interrupts. Now we do the same as ppc32 -- check the flags only once in the fast path, and re-enable interrupts if necessary in the ptrace case. The patch abolishes the 'syscall_noerror' member of struct thread_info and replaces it with a TIF_NOERROR bit in the flags, which is handled in the slow path. This shortens the syscall entry code, which no longer needs to clear syscall_noerror. The patch adds a TIF_SAVE_NVGPRS flag which causes the syscall exit slow path to save the non-volatile GPRs into a signal frame. This removes the need for the assembly wrappers around sys_sigsuspend(), sys_rt_sigsuspend(), et al which existed solely to save those registers in advance. It also means I don't have to add new wrappers for ppoll() and pselect(), which is what I was supposed to be doing when I got distracted into this... Finally, it unifies the ppc64 and ppc32 methods of handling syscall exit directly into a signal handler (as required by sigsuspend et al) by introducing a TIF_RESTOREALL flag which causes _all_ the registers to be reloaded from the pt_regs by taking the ret_from_exception path, instead of the normal syscall exit path which stomps on the callee-saved GPRs. It appears to pass an LTP test run on ppc64, and passes basic testing on ppc32 too. Brief tests of ptrace functionality with strace and gdb also appear OK. I wouldn't send it to Linus for 2.6.15 just yet though :) Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows us to get rid of one type of entry in systbl.S. In passing we remove the duplicate compat_sys_getdents and compat_sys_utimes for which there are generic versions. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>

|/ | | | | | | | This makes ppc use the syscalls.c from arch/powerpc/kernel, exports copy_and_flush from head_32.S for use by prom_init.c (ARCH=powerpc), and consolidates the sys_fadvise64_64 implementations for 32-bit. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

The system call table has been consolidated into systbl.S. We have separate 32-bit and 64-bit versions of entry.S and misc.S since the code is mostly sufficiently different to be not worth merging. There are some common bits that will be extracted in future. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
