  • Mark arguments to certain system calls as being const where they should be but
    aren't. The list includes:

    (*) The filename arguments of various stat syscalls, execve(), various utimes
    syscalls and some mount syscalls.

    (*) The filename arguments of some syscall helpers relating to the above.

    (*) The buffer argument of various write syscalls.

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • Add generic implementations of the old and really old uname system calls.
    Note that sh only implements sys_olduname but not sys_oldolduname, but I'm
    not going to bother with another ifdef for that special case.

    m32r implemented an old uname but never wired it up, so kill it, too.

  • Due to a different size of ino_t ustat needs a compat handler, but
    currently only x86 and mips provide one. Add a generic compat_sys_ustat
    and switch all architectures over to it. Instead of doing various
    user copy hacks compat_sys_ustat just reimplements sys_ustat as
    it's trivial. This was suggested by Arnd Bergmann.

    Found by Eric Sandeen when running xfstests/017 on ppc64, which causes
    stack smashing warnings on RHEL/Fedora due to the too large amount of
    data writen by the syscall.

  • Nothing arch specific in get/settimeofday. The details of the timeval
    conversion varied a little from arch to arch, but all with the same
    results.

    Also add an extern declaration for sys_tz to linux/time.h because externs
    in .c files are fowned upon. I'll kill the externs in various other files
    in a sparate patch.

  • struct stat / compat_stat is the same on all architectures, so
    cp_compat_stat should be, too.

    Turns out it is, except that various architectures have slightly and some
    high2lowuid/high2lowgid or the direct assignment instead of the
    SET_UID/SET_GID that expands to the correct one anyway.

    This patch replaces the arch-specific cp_compat_stat implementations with
    a common one based on the x86-64 one.

  • This patch introduces the new syscall pipe2 which is like pipe but it also
    takes an additional parameter which takes a flag value. This patch implements
    the handling of O_CLOEXEC for the flag. I did not add support for the new
    syscall for the architectures which have a special sys_pipe implementation. I
    think the maintainers of those archs have the chance to go with the unified
    implementation but that's up to them.

    The implementation introduces do_pipe_flags. I did that instead of changing
    all callers of do_pipe because some of the callers are written in assembler.
    I would probably screw up changing the assembly code. To avoid breaking code
    do_pipe is now a small wrapper around do_pipe_flags. Once all callers are
    changed over to do_pipe_flags the old do_pipe function can be removed.

    The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and
    x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed.

  • I found it strange that the struct sk_buff definition was found
    inside the DWARF debugging sections in the generated object, so I verified
    and found that there is no need for the files that bring struct sk_buff
    definition into this file and verified also that sk_buff is not brought
    in indirectly too, thru other headers.

    I went on and removed many other unneeded includes and the end
    result is:

    [acme@doppio net-2.6]$ l /tmp/sys_ia32.o.before /tmp/sys_ia32.o.after
    -rw-rw-r-- 1 acme acme 185240 2008-02-06 19:19 /tmp/sys_ia32.o.after
    -rw-rw-r-- 1 acme acme 248328 2008-02-06 19:00 /tmp/sys_ia32.o.before

    Almost 64KB only on this object file!

    There were no other side effects from this change:

    [acme@doppio net-2.6]$ objcopy -j "text" /tmp/sys_ia32.o.before /tmp/text.before
    [acme@doppio net-2.6]$ objcopy -j "text" /tmp/sys_ia32.o.after /tmp/text.after

    One of the complaints about using tools such as systemtap is
    that one has to install the huge kernel-debuginfo package:

  • We have a lot of code which differs only by the naming of specific
    members of structures that contain registers. In order to enable
    additional unifications, this patch drops the e- or r- size prefix
    from the register names in struct pt_regs, and drops the x- prefixes
    for segment registers on the 32-bit side.

    This patch also performs the equivalent renames in some additional
    places that might be candidates for unification in the future.
