* x32: Handle the x32 system call flagH. Peter Anvin2012-02-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | x32 shares most system calls with x86-64, but unfortunately some subsystem (the input subsystem is the chief offender) which require is_compat() when operating with a 32-bit userspace. The input system actually has text files in sysfs whose meaning is dependent on sizeof(long) in userspace! We could solve this by having two completely disjoint system call tables; requiring that each system call be duplicated. This patch takes a different approach: we add a flag to the system call number; this flag doesn't affect the system call dispatch but requests compat treatment from affected subsystems for the duration of the system call. The change of cmpq to cmpl is safe since it immediately follows the and. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
* x32: Generate <asm/unistd_64_x32.h>H. Peter Anvin2012-02-20
| | | | | | | | Generate macros for the *kernel* code to use to refer to x32 system calls. These have an __NR_x32_ prefix and do not include __X32_SYSCALL_BIT. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
* x32: Generate <asm/unistd_x32.h>H. Peter Anvin2012-02-20
| | | | | | | | | | Generate <asm/unistd_x32.h>; this exports x32 system call numbers to user space. [ v2: Enclose all arguments to syshdr in '' so empty arguments aren't dropped on the floor. ] Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
* x86, syscall: Need __ARCH_WANT_SYS_IPC for 32 bitsH. Peter Anvin2012-01-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In checkin 303395ac3bf3 x86: Generate system call tables and unistd_*.h from tables the feature macros in <asm/unistd.h> were unified between 32 and 64 bits. Unfortunately 32 bits requires __ARCH_WANT_SYS_IPC and this was inadvertently dropped.

* x86: Generate system call tables and unistd_*.h from tablesH. Peter Anvin2011-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Generate system call tables and unistd_*.h automatically from the tables in arch/x86/syscalls. All other information, like NR_syscalls, is auto-generated, some of which is in asm-offsets_*.c. This allows us to keep all the system call information in one place, and allows for kernel space and user space to see different information; this is currently used for the ia32 system call numbers when building the 64-bit kernel, but will be used by the x32 ABI in the near future. This also removes some gratuitious differences between i386, x86-64 and ia32; in particular, now all system call tables are generated with the same mechanism. Cc: H. J.
