powerpc: Remove redundant spaces to match coding style

2022-05-04T09:37:46Z

These one line of code don't meet the kernel coding style, so remove the redundant space. Signed-off-by: maqiang Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210303115710.30886-1-maqianga@uniontech.com

powerpc: Move C prototypes out of asm-prototypes.h

2022-03-08T11:06:25Z

We originally added asm-prototypes.h in commit 42f5b4cacd78 ("powerpc: Introduce asm-prototypes.h"). It's purpose was for prototypes of C functions that are only called from asm, in order to fix sparse warnings about missing prototypes. A few months later Nick added a different use case in commit 4efca4ed05cb ("kbuild: modversions for EXPORT_SYMBOL() for asm") for C prototypes for exported asm functions. This is basically the inverse of our original usage. Since then we've added various prototypes to asm-prototypes.h for both reasons, meaning we now need to unstitch it all. Dispatch prototypes of C functions into relevant headers and keep only the prototypes for functions defined in assembly. For the time being, leave prom_init() there because moving it into asm/prom.h or asm/setup.h conflicts with drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/bios/shadowrom.o This will be fixed later by untaggling asm/pci.h and asm/prom.h or by renaming the function in shadowrom.c Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/62d46904eca74042097acf4cb12c175e3067f3d1.1646413435.git.christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu

powerpc/syscalls: Simplify do_mmap2()

2021-08-25T03:35:48Z

When shift is nul, operations remain valid so no test needed. And 'ret' is unnecessary. And use IS_ALIGNED() to check alignment, that's more clear.

powerpc/64s: avoid reloading (H)SRR registers if they are still valid

2021-06-24T14:06:55Z

When an interrupt is taken, the SRR registers are set to return to where it left off. Unless they are modified in the meantime, or the return address or MSR are modified, there is no need to reload these registers when returning from interrupt. Introduce per-CPU flags that track the validity of SRR and HSRR registers. These are cleared when returning from interrupt, when using the registers for something else (e.g., OPAL calls), when adjusting the return address or MSR of a context, and when context switching (which changes the return address and MSR). This improves the performance of interrupt returns.

powerpc/syscalls: Use sys_old_select() in ppc_select()

y2038: syscalls: change remaining timeval to __kernel_old_timeval

2019-11-15T13:38:29Z

All of the remaining syscalls that pass a timeval (gettimeofday, utime, futimesat) can trivially be changed to pass a __kernel_old_timeval instead, which has a compatible layout, but avoids ambiguity with the timeval type in user space.

powerpc/64: Make sys_switch_endian() traceable

2019-02-21T13:10:15Z

We weren't using SYSCALL_DEFINE for sys_switch_endian(), which means it wasn't able to be traced by CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS. By using the macro we create the right metadata and the syscall is visible. eg: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 | tee events/syscalls/sys_*_switch_endian/enable # ~/switch_endian_test # cat trace ... switch_endian_t-3604 [009] .... 315.175164: sys_switch_endian() switch_endian_t-3604 [009] .... 315.175167: sys_switch_endian -> 0x5555aaaa5555aaaa switch_endian_t-3604 [009] .... 315.175169: sys_switch_endian() switch_endian_t-3604 [009] .... 315.175169: sys_switch_endian -> 0x5555aaaa5555aaaa Fixes: 529d235a0e19 ("powerpc: Add a proper syscall for switching endianness") Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function

2019-01-04T02:57:57Z

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand. It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact. A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's just get this done once and for all. This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form. There were a couple of notable cases: - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias. - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing really used it) - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch. I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

powerpc: Remove -Wattribute-alias pragmas

2018-06-25T14:21:13Z

With SYSCALL_DEFINEx() disabling -Wattribute-alias generically, there's no need to duplicate that for PowerPC syscalls. This reverts commit 415520373975 ("powerpc: fix build failure by disabling attribute-alias warning in pci_32") and commit 2479bfc9bc60 ("powerpc: Fix build by disabling attribute-alias warning for SYSCALL_DEFINEx").
