do_pipe cleanup: drop its last user in arch/alpha/

2009-03-27T18:43:58+00:00

The last user of do_pipe is in arch/alpha/, after replacing it with
do_pipe_flags, the do_pipe can be totally dropped.

[CVE-2009-0029] Remove attribute((weak)) from sys_pipe/sys_pipe2

2009-01-14T13:15:15+00:00

Remove __attribute__((weak)) from common code sys_pipe implemantation.
IA64, ALPHA, SUPERH (32bit) and SPARC (32bit) have own implemantations
with the same name. Just rename them.
For sys_pipe2 there is no architecture specific implementation.

CRED: Separate task security context from task_struct

2008-11-13T23:39:16+00:00

Separate the task security context from task_struct.  At this point, the
security data is temporarily embedded in the task_struct with two pointers
pointing to it.

Note that the Alpha arch is altered as it refers to (E)UID and (E)GID in
entry.S via asm-offsets.

alpha: convert to generic sys_ptrace

2007-10-16T16:43:03+00:00

This patch converts alpha to the generic sys_ptrace.  We use
force_successful_syscall_return to avoid having to pass the pt_regs pointer
down to the function.  I think the removal of the assemly stub is correct,
but I could only compile-test this patch, so please give it a spin before
commiting :)

[PATCH] rename the provided execve functions to kernel_execve

2006-10-02T14:57:23+00:00

Some architectures provide an execve function that does not set errno, but
instead returns the result code directly.  Rename these to kernel_execve to
get the right semantics there.  Moreover, there is no reasone for any of these
architectures to still provide __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ or _syscallN macros, so
remove these right away.

[PATCH] alpha: Fix getxpid on alpha so it works for threads

2006-02-01T16:53:21+00:00

While looking in the code I discovered that alpha has fallen behind because
it doesn't use sys_getppid.  The problem is that it doesn't follow the task
struct to the task_group_leader.

[PATCH] alpha: fix kernel alignment traps

2005-10-02T21:32:49+00:00

Pass in the pointer to the on-stack registers rather than using them
directly as the arguments.

Ivan noticed that I missed a spot when purging the registers as first
stack parameter idiom.
