powerpc/compat_sys: swap hi/lo parts of 64-bit syscall args in LE mode

2021-02-11T12:35:07Z

Swap upper/lower 32 bits for 64-bit compat syscalls, conditioned on endianness. This is modeled after the same functionality in arch/mips/kernel/linux32.c. This fixes compat_sys on ppc64le, when called by 32-bit little-endian processes. Tested with `file /bin/bash` (pread64) and `truncate -s 5G test` (ftruncate64).

mm: add ksys_readahead() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_readahead()

2018-04-02T18:16:12Z

Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_readahead() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the same calling convention as sys_readahead(). This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

mm: add ksys_fadvise64_64() helper; remove in-kernel call to sys_fadvise64_64()

2018-04-02T18:16:10Z

Using the ksys_fadvise64_64() helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_fadvise64_64() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the same calling convention as ksys_fadvise64_64(). Some compat stubs called sys_fadvise64(), which then just passed through the arguments to sys_fadvise64_64(). Get rid of this indirection, and call ksys_fadvise64_64() directly. This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.
