[PATCH v4 0/5] y2038: Make ppoll, io_pgetevents and pselect y2038 safe

by Deepa Dinamani

The series transitions the ppoll, io_getevents, and pselect syscalls to be y2038 safe. This is part of the work proceeding for syscalls for y2038. It is based on the series [1] from Arnd Bergmann. The overview of the series is as below: 1. Refactor sigmask handling logic for the above syscalls. 2. Provide y2038 safe versions of the syscalls for all ABIs. [1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/8/27/651 Changes since v3: * fixed pselect copy+paste error Changes since v2: * remove 64BIT_TIME conditional for ppoll, pselect, io_getpevents as per review comments Changes since v1: * fixed bug pointed out by arnd Deepa Dinamani (5): signal: Add set_user_sigmask() signal: Add restore_user_sigmask() ppoll: use __kernel_timespec pselect6: use __kernel_timespec io_pgetevents: use __kernel_timespec fs/aio.c | 134 ++++++++++----- fs/eventpoll.c | 52 +----- fs/select.c | 360 ++++++++++++++++++++++----------------- include/linux/compat.h | 20 +++ include/linux/signal.h | 4 + include/linux/syscalls.h | 20 ++- kernel/signal.c | 78 +++++++++ 7 files changed, 426 insertions(+), 242 deletions(-) -- 2.17.1

[PATCH v3 0/4] powerpc: system call table generation support

by Firoz Khan

The purpose of this patch series is, we can easily add/modify/delete system call table support by cha- nging entry in syscall.tbl file instead of manually changing many files. The other goal is to unify the system call table generation support implementation across all the architectures. The system call tables are in different format in all architecture. It will be difficult to manually add, modify or delete the system calls in the resp- ective files manually. To make it easy by keeping a script and which'll generate uapi header file and syscall table file. syscall.tbl contains the list of available system calls along with system call number and correspond- ing entry point. Add a new system call in this arch- itecture will be possible by adding new entry in the syscall.tbl file. Adding a new table entry consisting of: - System call number. - ABI. - System call name. - Entry point name. - Compat entry name, if required. - spu entry name, if required. ARM, s390 and x86 architecuture does exist the sim- ilar support. I leverage their implementation to come up with a generic solution. I have done the same support for work for alpha, ia64, m68k, microblaze, mips, parisc, sh, sparc, and xtensa. Below mentioned git repository contains more details about the workflow. https://github.com/frzkhn/system_call_table_generator/ Finally, this is the ground work to solve the Y2038 issue. We need to add two dozen of system calls to solve Y2038 issue. So this patch series will help to add new system calls easily by adding new entry in the syscall.tbl. changes since v2: - modified/optimized the syscall.tbl to avoid duplicate for the spu entries. - updated the syscalltbl.sh to meet the above point. changes since v1: - optimized/updated the syscall table generation scripts. - fixed all mixed indentation issues in syscall.tbl. - added "comments" in syscall_*.tbl. - changed from generic-y to generated-y in Kbuild.
