powerpc/32: fix syscall wrappers with 64-bit arguments

2022-10-31T23:24:09Z

With the introduction of syscall wrappers all wrappers for syscalls with 64-bit arguments must be handled specially, not only those that have unaligned 64-bit arguments. This left out the fallocate() and sync_file_range2() syscalls.

powerpc/32: fix syscall wrappers with 64-bit arguments of unaligned register-pairs

2022-10-12T13:49:58Z

powerpc 32-bit system call (and function) calling convention for 64-bit arguments requires the next available odd-pair (two sequential registers with the first being odd-numbered) from the standard register argument allocation. The first argument register is r3, so a 64-bit argument that appears at an even position in the argument list must skip a register (unless there were preceding 64-bit arguments, which might throw things off). This requires non-standard compat definitions to deal with the holes in the argument register allocation. With pt_regs syscall wrappers which use a standard mapper to map pt_regs GPRs to function arguments, 32-bit kernels hit the same basic problem, the standard definitions don't cope with the unused argument registers. Fix this by having 32-bit kernels share those syscall definitions with compat. Thanks to Jason for spending a lot of time finding and bisecting this and developing a trivial reproducer. The perfect bug report. Reported-by: Jason A.

powerpc: Adopt SYSCALL_DEFINE for arch-specific syscall handlers

2022-09-28T09:22:08Z

Arch-specific implementations of syscall handlers are currently used over generic implementations for the following reasons: 1. Semantics unique to powerpc 2. Compatibility syscalls require 'argument padding' to comply with 64-bit argument convention in ELF32 abi. 3. Parameter types or order is different in other architectures. These syscall handlers have been defined prior to this patch series without invoking the SYSCALL_DEFINE or COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE macros with custom input and output types. We remove every such direct definition in favour of the aforementioned macros. Also update syscalls.tbl in order to refer to the symbol names generated by each of these macros. Since ppc64_personality can be called by both 64 bit and 32 bit binaries through compatibility, we must generate both both compat_sys_ and sys_ symbols for this handler. As an aside: A number of architectures including arm and powerpc agree on an alternative argument order and numbering for most of these arch-specific handlers. A future patch series may allow for asm/unistd.h to signal through its defines that a generic implementation of these syscall handlers with the correct calling convention be emitted, through the __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_... convention.

powerpc/32: Remove powerpc select specialisation

2022-09-26T13:00:15Z

Syscall #82 has been implemented for 32-bit platforms in a unique way on powerpc systems. This hack will in effect guess whether the caller is expecting new select semantics or old select semantics. It does so via a guess, based off the first parameter. In new select, this parameter represents the length of a user-memory array of file descriptors, and in old select this is a pointer to an arguments structure. The heuristic simply interprets sufficiently large values of its first parameter as being a call to old select. The following is a discussion on how this syscall should be handled. As discussed in this thread, the existence of such a hack suggests that for whatever powerpc binaries may predate glibc, it is most likely that they would have taken use of the old select semantics. x86 and arm64 both implement this syscall with oldselect semantics. Remove the powerpc implementation, and update syscall.tbl to refer to emit a reference to sys_old_select and compat_sys_old_select for 32-bit binaries, in keeping with how other architectures support syscall #82.
