2018-04-02kernel/sys_ni: sort cond_syscall() entriesDominik Brodowski1-174/+332
Shuffle the cond_syscall() entries in kernel/sys_ni.c around so that they are kept in the same order as in include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h. For better structuring, add the same comments as in that file, but keep a few additional comments and extend the commentary where it seems useful. Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski <[email protected]>
2018-04-02syscalls/x86: auto-create compat_sys_*() prototypesDominik Brodowski4-80/+4
compat_sys_*() functions are no longer called from within the kernel on x86 except from the system call table. Linking the system call does not require compat_sys_*() function prototypes at least on x86. Therefore, generate compat_sys_*() prototypes on-the-fly within the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro, and remove x86-specific prototypes from various header files.

2018-04-02syscalls: sort syscall prototypes in include/linux/compat.hDominik Brodowski1-277/+378
Shuffle the syscall prototypes in include/linux/compat.h around so that they are kept in the same order as in include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h. The individual entries are kept the same, and neither modified to bring them in line with kernel coding style nor wrapped in proper ifdefs -- as an exception to this, add the prefix "asmlinkage" where it was missing.

2018-04-02net: remove compat_sys_*() prototypes from net/compat.hDominik Brodowski1-11/+0
As the syscall functions should only be called from the system call table but not from elsewhere in the kernel, it is sufficient that they are defined in linux/compat.h. Cc: David S. Miller <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski <[email protected]>

2018-04-02x86: fix sys_sigreturn() return type to be long, not unsigned longDominik Brodowski2-2/+2
Same as with other system calls, sys_sigreturn() should return a value of type long, not unsigned long.

2018-04-02fs: add ksys_umount() helper; remove in-kernel call to sys_umount()Dominik Brodowski3-3/+9
Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel call to the sys_umount() 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_umount(). In the near future, the only fs-external caller of ksys_umount() should be converted to call do_umount() directly. Then, ksys_umount() can be moved within sys_umount() again. This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.
