2018-06-09	riscv: split the declaration of __copy_user	Luc Van Oostenryck	1	-1/+2
	We use a single __copy_user assembly function to copy memory both from and to userspace. While this works, it triggers sparse errors because we're implicitly casting between the kernel and user address spaces by calling __copy_user. This patch splits the C declaration into a pair of functions, __asm_copy_{to,from}_user, that have sane semantics WRT __user. This split make things fine from sparse's point of view. The assembly implementation keeps a single definition but add a double ENTRY() for it, one for __asm_copy_to_user and another one for __asm_copy_from_user. The result is a spare-safe implementation that pays no performance or code size penalty.

2017-11-30	RISC-V: Export some expected symbols for modules	Olof Johansson	1	-0/+3
	These are the ones needed by current allmodconfig, so add them instead of everything other architectures are exporting -- the rest can be added on demand later if needed. Signed-off-by: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net> Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@sifive.com>
2017-09-26	RISC-V: User-facing API	Palmer Dabbelt	1	-0/+15
	This patch contains code that is in some way visible to the user: including via system calls, the VDSO, module loading and signal handling. It also contains some generic code that is ABI visible. Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@dabbelt.com>
