The nds32 architecture, also known as AndeStar V3, is a custom 32-bit
RISC target designed by Andes Technologies. Support was added to the
kernel in 2016 as the replacement RISC-V based V5 processors were
already announced, and maintained by (current or former) Andes
employees.
As explained by Alan Kao, new customers are now all using RISC-V,
and all known nds32 users are already on longterm stable kernels
provided by Andes, with no development work going into mainline
support any more.
While the port is still in a reasonably good shape, it only gets
worse over time without active maintainers, so it seems best
to remove it before it becomes unusable. As always, if it turns
out that there are mainline users after all, and they volunteer
to maintain the port in the future, the removal can be reverted.

PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO is a generic ptrace API that lets ptracer obtain
details of the syscall the tracee is blocked in.
There are two reasons for a special syscall-related ptrace request.
Firstly, with the current ptrace API there are cases when ptracer cannot
retrieve necessary information about syscalls. Some examples include:
* The notorious int-0x80-from-64-bit-task issue. See [1] for details.
In short, if a 64-bit task performs a syscall through int 0x80, its
tracer has no reliable means to find out that the syscall was, in
fact, a compat syscall, and misidentifies it.
* Syscall-enter-stop and syscall-exit-stop look the same for the
tracer. Common practice is to keep track of the sequence of
ptrace-stops in order not to mix the two syscall-stops up. But it is
not as simple as it looks; for example, strace had a (just recently
fixed) long-standing bug where attaching strace to a tracee that is
performing the execve system call led to the tracer identifying the
following syscall-exit-stop as syscall-enter-stop, which messed up
all the state tracking.
* Since the introduction of commit 84d77d3f06e7 ("ptrace: Don't allow
accessing an undumpable mm"), both PTRACE_PEEKDATA and
process_vm_readv become unavailable when the process dumpable flag is
cleared. On such architectures as ia64 this results in all syscall
arguments being unavailable for the tracer.
Secondly, ptracers also have to support a lot of arch-specific code for
obtaining information about the tracee. For some architectures, this
requires a ptrace(PTRACE_PEEKUSER, ...) invocation for every syscall
argument and return value.
PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO returns the following structure:
struct ptrace_syscall_info {
__u8 op; /* PTRACE_SYSCALL_INFO_* */
__u32 arch __attribute__((__aligned__(sizeof(__u32))));
__u64 instruction_pointer;
__u64 stack_pointer;
union {
struct {
__u64 nr;
__u64 args[6];
} entry;
struct {
__s64 rval;
__u8 is_error;
} exit;
struct {
__u64 nr;
__u64 args[6];
__u32 ret_data;
} seccomp;
};
};
The structure was chosen according to [2], except for the following
changes:
* seccomp substructure was added as a superset of entry substructure
* the type of nr field was changed from int to __u64 because syscall
numbers are, as a practical matter, 64 bits
* stack_pointer field was added along with instruction_pointer field
since it is readily available and can save the tracer from extra
PTRACE_GETREGS/PTRACE_GETREGSET calls
* arch is always initialized to aid with tracing system calls such as
execve()
* instruction_pointer and stack_pointer are always initialized so they
could be easily obtained for non-syscall stops
* a boolean is_error field was added along with rval field, this way
the tracer can more reliably distinguish a return value from an error
value
strace has been ported to PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO. Starting with
release 4.26, strace uses PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO API as the preferred
mechanism of obtaining syscall information.

This patch (of 7):
All syscall_get_*() and syscall_set_*() functions must be defined as
static inline as on all other architectures, otherwise asm/syscall.h
cannot be included in more than one compilation unit.
This bug has to be fixed in order to extend the generic
ptrace API with PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO request.

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
"We've got a reasonably broad set of audit patches for the v5.2 merge
window, the highlights are below:
- The biggest change, and the source of all the arch/* changes, is
the patchset from Dmitry to help enable some of the work he is
doing around PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO.
To be honest, including this in the audit tree is a bit of a
stretch, but it does help move audit a little further along towards
proper syscall auditing for all arches, and everyone else seemed to
agree that audit was a "good" spot for this to land (or maybe they
just didn't want to merge it? dunno.).
- We can now audit time/NTP adjustments.
- We continue the work to connect associated audit records into a
single event"

After removing the start and count arguments of syscall_get_arguments() it
seems reasonable to remove them from syscall_set_arguments(). Note, as of
today, there are no users of syscall_set_arguments(). But we are told that
there will be soon. But for now, at least make it consistent with
syscall_get_arguments().

At Linux Plumbers, Andy Lutomirski approached me and pointed out that the
function call syscall_get_arguments() implemented in x86 was horribly
written and not optimized for the standard case of passing in 0 and 6 for
the starting index and the number of system calls to get. When looking at
all the users of this function, I discovered that all instances pass in only
0 and 6 for these arguments. Instead of having this function handle
different cases that are never used, simply rewrite it to return the first 6
arguments of a system call.
This should help out the performance of tracing system calls by ptrace,
ftrace and perf.

This argument is required to extend the generic ptrace API with
PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO request: syscall_get_arch() is going
to be called from ptrace_request() along with syscall_get_nr(),
syscall_get_arguments(), syscall_get_error(), and
syscall_get_return_value() functions with a tracee as their argument.
The primary intent is that the triple (audit_arch, syscall_nr, arg1..arg6)
should describe what system call is being called and what its arguments
are.
