syscall define: fix uml compile bug

2009-02-17T17:46:17+00:00

commit 6c5979631b4b03c9288776562c18036765e398c1 upstream.

With the new system call defines we get this on uml:

arch/um/sys-i386/built-in.o: In function `sys_call_table':
(.rodata+0x308): undefined reference to `sys_sigprocmask'

Reason for this is that uml passes the preprocessor option
-Dsigprocmask=kernel_sigprocmask to gcc when compiling the kernel.
This causes SYSCALL_DEFINE3(sigprocmask, ...) to be expanded to
SYSCALL_DEFINEx(3, kernel_sigprocmask, ...) and finally to a system
call named sys_kernel_sigprocmask.  However sys_sigprocmask is missing
because of this.

To avoid macro expansion for the system call name just concatenate the
name at first define instead of carrying it through severel levels.
This was pointed out by Al Viro.

System call wrapper infrastructure

2009-01-18T18:35:33+00:00

commit 1a94bc34768e463a93cb3751819709ab0ea80a01 upstream.

From: Martin Schwidefsky 

By selecting HAVE_SYSCALL_WRAPPERS architectures can activate
system call wrappers in order to sign extend system call arguments.

All architectures where the ABI defines that the caller of a function
has to perform sign extension probably need this.

Convert all system calls to return a long

2009-01-18T18:35:30+00:00

commit 2ed7c03ec17779afb4fcfa3b8c61df61bd4879ba upstream.

Convert all system calls to return a long. This should be a NOP since all
converted types should have the same size anyway.
With the exception of sys_exit_group which returned void. But that doesn't
matter since the system call doesn't return.

inotify: fix type errors in interfaces

2009-01-18T18:35:30+00:00

commit 4ae8978cf92a96257cd8998a49e781be83571d64 upstream.

The problems lie in the types used for some inotify interfaces, both at the kernel level and at the glibc level. This mail addresses the kernel problem. I will follow up with some suggestions for glibc changes.

For the sys_inotify_rm_watch() interface, the type of the 'wd' argument is
currently 'u32', it should be '__s32' .  That is Robert's suggestion, and
is consistent with the other declarations of watch descriptors in the
kernel source, in particular, the inotify_event structure in
include/linux/inotify.h:

struct inotify_event {
        __s32           wd;             /* watch descriptor */
        __u32           mask;           /* watch mask */
        __u32           cookie;         /* cookie to synchronize two events */
        __u32           len;            /* length (including nulls) of name */
        char            name[0];        /* stub for possible name */
};

The patch makes the changes needed for inotify_rm_watch().
