mq_timedreceive was spelled incorrectly, and we need exceptions
for new architectures that leave out newstat or stat64, implementing
only statx() now.Fixes: 48166e6ea47d ("y2038: add 64-bit time_t syscalls to all 32-bit architectures")

We don't want new architectures to even provide the old 32-bit time_t
based system calls any more, or define the syscall number macros.Add a new __ARCH_WANT_TIME32_SYSCALLS macro that gets enabled for all
existing 32-bit architectures using the generic system call table,
so we don't change any current behavior.
Since this symbol is evaluated in user space as well, we cannot use
a Kconfig CONFIG_* macro but have to define it in uapi/asm/unistd.h.On 64-bit architectures, the same system call numbers mostly refer to
the system calls we want to keep, as they already pass 64-bit time_t.As new architectures no longer provide these, we need new exceptions
in checksyscalls.sh.Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

The newer prlimit64 syscall provides all the functionality of getrlimit
and setrlimit syscalls and adds the pid of target process, so future
architectures won't need to include getrlimit and setrlimit.Therefore drop getrlimit and setrlimit syscalls from the generic syscall
list unless __ARCH_WANT_SET_GET_RLIMIT is defined by the architecture's
unistd.h prior to including asm-generic/unistd.h, and adjust all
architectures using the generic syscall list to define it so that no
in-tree architectures are affected.Cc: Arnd Bergmann

This adds 21 new system calls on each ABI that has 32-bit time_t
today. All of these have the exact same semantics as their existing
counterparts, and the new ones all have macro names that end in 'time64'
for clarification.This gets us to the point of being able to safely use a C library
that has 64-bit time_t in user space. There are still a couple of
loose ends to tie up in various areas of the code, but this is the
big one, and should be entirely uncontroversial at this point.In particular, there are four system calls (getitimer, setitimer,
waitid, and getrusage) that don't have a 64-bit counterpart yet,
but these can all be safely implemented in the C library by wrapping
around the existing system calls because the 32-bit time_t they
pass only counts elapsed time, not time since the epoch. They
will be dealt with later.Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

nfsservctl entry is only provided on x86, and there is no
reason to add it elsewhere. However, including it on the
syscall table caused a warning for most configurations on

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

checksyscalls.sh is run at every "make" run while building the kernel,
even if no files have changed. I looked at where we spend time in
a trivial empty rebuild and found checksyscalls.sh to be a source
of noticeable overhead, as it spawns a lot of child processes just
to call 'cat' copying from stdin to stdout, once for each of the
over 400 x86 syscalls.Using a shell-builtin (echo) instead of the external command gives
us a 13x speedup:Before After

"echo" doesn't read from stdin, therefore the checksyscalls script didn't
warn about not implemented system calls anymore since 29dc54c6
("checksyscalls: Use arch/x86/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl as source").Use "cat" instead of "echo" which handles this correctly.

The initial pass at the generic ABI assumed that wait4() could be
easily expressed using waitid(). Although it's true that wait4()
can be built on waitid(), it's awkward enough that it makes more
sense to continue to include wait4 in the generic syscall ABI.Since there is already a deprecated wait4 in the ABI, this change
converts that wait4 into old_wait, and puts wait4 in the next
available slot for new supported syscalls, after the platform-specific
syscalls at number 260.Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

A new architecture should only define a minimal set of system
calls while still providing the full functionality. This version
of unistd.h has gone through intensive review to make sure that
by default it only enables syscalls that do not already have
a more featureful replacement.It is modeled after the x86-64 version of unistd.h, which unifies
the syscall number definition and the actual system call table
in a single file, in order to keep them synchronized much more
easily.This first version still keeps legacy system call definitions
around, guarded by various #ifdefs, and with numbers larger
than 1024. The idea behind this is to make it easier for
new architectures to transition from a full list to the reduced
set. In particular, the new microblaze architecture that should
migrate to using the generic ABI headers can at least use an
existing uClibc source tree without major rewrites during the
conversion.Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

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.

Most system calls seems to get added to i386 first. This patch
automatically generates a warning for any new system call which is
implemented on i386 but not the architecture currently being compiled.
On PowerPC at the moment, for example, it results in these warnings:
init/missing_syscalls.h:935:3: warning: #warning syscall sync_file_range not implemented
init/missing_syscalls.h:947:3: warning: #warning syscall getcpu not implemented
init/missing_syscalls.h:950:3: warning: #warning syscall epoll_pwait not implementedThe file scripts/checksyscalls.sh list a number of legacy system calls
that are ignored because they only makes sense on i386 systems.Other contributors to this patch are Russell King
