syscalls: Remove start and number from syscall_set_arguments() args

2019-04-05T13:27:23+00:00

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().

syscalls: Remove start and number from syscall_get_arguments() args

2019-04-05T13:26:43+00:00

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.

kbuild: force all architectures except um to include mandatory-y

2019-03-17T03:56:32+00:00

Currently, every arch/*/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild explicitly includes
the common Kbuild.asm file. Factor out the duplicated include directives
to scripts/Makefile.asm-generic so that no architecture would opt out
of the mandatory-y mechanism.

um is not forced to include mandatory-y since it is a very exceptional
case which does not support UAPI.

kbuild: warn redundant generic-y

2019-03-17T03:56:31+00:00

The generic-y is redundant under the following condition:

 - arch has its own implementation

 - the same header is added to generated-y

 - the same header is added to mandatory-y

If a redundant generic-y is found, the warning like follows is displayed:

  scripts/Makefile.asm-generic:20: redundant generic-y found in arch/arm/include/asm/Kbuild: timex.h

I fixed up arch Kbuild files found by this.

zcrypt: handle AP Info notification from CHSC SEI command

2019-03-11T17:16:42+00:00

The current AP bus implementation periodically polls the AP configuration
to detect changes. When the AP configuration is dynamically changed via the
SE or an SCLP instruction, the changes will not be reflected to sysfs until
the next time the AP configuration is polled. The CHSC architecture
provides a Store Event Information (SEI) command to make notification of an
AP configuration change. This patch introduces a handler to process
notification from the CHSC SEI command by immediately kicking off an AP bus
scan-after-event.
