2008-03-28[ARM] 4878/1: Add oabi shim for fstatat64Riku Voipio
Ccoreutils and other have started using fstatat64. Thus, we need a shim for it if we want to support modern oldabi userlands (such as Debian/arm/lenny) with EABI kernels.

2008-02-05timerfd: new timerfd APIDavide Libenzi
This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch: int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags); int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags, const struct itimerspec *utmr, struct itimerspec *otmr); int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr); The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd. The "clockid" parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME. The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not NULL). The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit is set in the "flags" parameter. Otherwise it's a relative time. The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or {0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet. Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are supported (with the same interface). Here's a simple test program I used to exercise the new timerfd APIs: http://www.xmailserver.org/timerfd-test2.c [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style cleanups] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix ia64 build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix m68k build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix mips build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix alpha, arm, blackfin, cris, m68k, s390, sparc and sparc64 builds] [heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com: fix s390] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix powerpc build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix sparc64 more] Signed-off-by: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmx.net> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmx.net> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2007-10-12[ARM] Add fallocate syscall entryRussell King

2007-06-28Introduce fixed sys_sync_file_range2() syscall, implement on PowerPC and ARMDavid Woodhouse
Not all the world is an i386. Many architectures need 64-bit arguments to be aligned in suitable pairs of registers, and the original sys_sync_file_range(int, loff_t, loff_t, int) was therefore wasting an argument register for padding after the first integer. Since we don't normally have more than 6 arguments for system calls, that left no room for the final argument on some architectures. Fix this by introducing sys_sync_file_range2(int, int, loff_t, loff_t) which all fits nicely. In fact, ARM already had that, but called it sys_arm_sync_file_range. Move it to fs/sync.c and rename it, then implement the needed compatibility routine. And stop the missing syscall check from bitching about the absence of sys_sync_file_range() if we've implemented sys_sync_file_range2() instead. Tested on PPC32 and with 32-bit and 64-bit userspace on PPC64.

2007-05-16[ARM] Update ARM syscallsRussell King
Add utimensat, signalfd, timerfd, eventfd syscalls. Add ignore defines for sync_file_range and fadvise64_64 which we implement differently. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2007-02-16[ARM] 4137/1: Add kexec supportRichard Purdie
Add kexec support to ARM. Improvements like commandline handling could be made but this patch gives basic functional support. It uses the next available syscall number, 347. Once the syscall number is known, userspace support will be finalised/submitted to kexec-tools, various patches already exist. Originally based on a patch by Maxim Syrchin but updated and forward ported by various people.

2006-12-17[ARM] Add more syscallsRussell King
Add: sys_unshare sys_set_robust_list sys_get_robust_list sys_splice sys_arm_sync_file_range sys_tee sys_vmsplice sys_move_pages sys_getcpu Special note about sys_arm_sync_file_range(), which is implemented as: asmlinkage long sys_arm_sync_file_range(int fd, unsigned int flags, loff_t offset, loff_t nbytes) { return sys_sync_file_range(fd, offset, nbytes, flags); } We can't export sys_sync_file_range() directly on ARM because the argument list someone picked does not fit in the available registers. Would be nice if... there was an arch maintainer review mechanism for new syscalls before they hit the kernel. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2006-01-19[ARM] safer handling of syscall table paddingAl Viro
ARM entry-common.S needs to know syscall table size; in itself that would not be a problem, but there's an additional constraint - some of the instructions using it want a constant that would be a multiple of 4. So we have to pad syscall table with sys_ni_syscall and that's where the trouble begins. .rept pseudo-op wants a constant expression for number of repetitions and subtraction of two labels (before and after syscall table) doesn't always get simplified to constant early enough for .rept. If labels end up in different frags, we lose. And while the frag size is large enough (slightly below 4Kb), the syscall table is about 1/3 of that. We used to get away with that, but the recent changes had been enough to trigger the breakage. Proper fix is simple: have a macro (CALL(x)) to populate the table instead of using explicit .long x and the first time we include calls.S have it defined to .equ NR_syscalls,NR_syscalls+1. Then we can find the proper amount of padding on the first inclusion simply by looking at NR_syscalls at that time. And that will be constant, no matter what. Moreover, the same trick kills the need of having an estimate of padded NR_syscalls - it will be calculated for free at the same time.

2006-01-14[ARM] 3110/5: old ABI compat: multi-ABI syscall entry supportNicolas Pitre
Patch from Nicolas Pitre This patch adds the required code to support both user space ABIs at the same time.

2006-01-14[ARM] 3108/2: old ABI compat: statfs64 and fstatfs64Nicolas Pitre
Patch from Nicolas Pitre struct statfs64 has extra padding with EABI growing its size from 84 to 88. This struct is now __attribute__((packed,aligned(4))) with a small assembly wrapper to force the sz argument to 84 if it is 88 to avoid copying the extra padding over user space memory unexpecting it.

2005-12-17[ARM] Fix sys_sendto and sys_recvfrom 6-arg syscallsRussell King
Rather than providing more wrappers for 6-arg syscalls, arrange for them to be supported as standard. This just means that we always store the 6th argument on the stack, rather than in the wrappers. This means we eliminate the wrappers for: * sys_futex * sys_arm_fadvise64_64 * sys_mbind * sys_ipc Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

Patch from George G. Davis As pointed out be Matthew Klahn <MKLAHN@motorola.com>, some sys_ipc() call options require six args, e.g. SEMTIMEDOP.

2005-09-01[ARM] 2865/2: fix fadvise64_64 syscall argument passingNicolas Pitre
Patch from Nicolas Pitre The prototype for sys_fadvise64_64() is: long sys_fadvise64_64(int fd, loff_t offset, loff_t len, int advice) The argument list is therefore as follows on legacy ABI: fd: type int (r0) offset: type long long (r1-r2) len: type long long (r3-sp[0]) advice: type int (sp[4]) With EABI this becomes: fd: type int (r0) offset: type long long (r2-r3) len: type long long (sp[0]-sp[4]) advice: type int (sp[8]) Not only do we have ABI differences here, but the EABI version requires one additional word on the syscall stack. To avoid the ABI mismatch and the extra stack space required with EABI this syscall is now defined with a different argument ordering on ARM as follows: long sys_arm_fadvise64_64(int fd, int advice, loff_t offset, loff_t len) This gives us the following ABI independent argument distribution: fd: type int (r0) advice: type int (r1) offset: type long long (r2-r3) len: type long long (sp[0]-sp[4]) Now, since the syscall entry code takes care of 5 registers only by default including the store of r4 to the stack, we need a wrapper to store r5 to the stack as well. Because that wrapper was missing and was always required this means that sys_fadvise64_64 never worked on ARM and therefore we can safely reuse its syscall number for our new sys_arm_fadvise64_64 interface.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
