      improve sys_newuname() for compat architectures · e28cbf22
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      
      
      On an architecture that supports 32-bit compat we need to override the
      reported machine in uname with the 32-bit value.  Instead of doing this
      separately in every architecture introduce a COMPAT_UTS_MACHINE define in
      <asm/compat.h> and apply it directly in sys_newuname().

      Add generic sys_ipc wrapper · baed7fc9
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      
      
      Add a generic implementation of the ipc demultiplexer syscall.  Except for
      s390 and sparc64 all implementations of the sys_ipc are nearly identical.
      
      There are slight differences in the types of the parameters, where mips
      and powerpc as the only 64-bit architectures with sys_ipc use unsigned
      long for the "third" argument as it gets casted to a pointer later, while
      it traditionally is an "int" like most other paramters.  frv goes even
      further and uses unsigned long for all parameters execept for "ptr" which
      is a pointer type everywhere.  The change from int to unsigned long for
      "third" and back to "int" for the others on frv should be fine due to the
      in-register calling conventions for syscalls (we already had a similar
      issue with the generic sys_ptrace), but I'd prefer to have the arch
      maintainers looks over this in details.
      
      Except for that h8300, m68k and m68knommu lack an impplementation of the
      semtimedop sub call which this patch adds, and various architectures have
      gets used - at least on i386 it seems superflous as the compat code on
      x86-64 and ia64 doesn't even bother to implement it.

      perf_events: Simplify code by removing cpu argument to hw_perf_group_sched_in() · 6e37738a
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      
      
      Since the cpu argument to hw_perf_group_sched_in() is always
      smp_processor_id(), simplify the code a little by removing this argument
      and using the current cpu where needed.

      powerpc: Fix lwsync feature fixup vs. modules on 64-bit · 3d98ffbf
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
      
      
      Anton's commit enabling the use of the lwsync fixup mechanism on 64-bit
      breaks modules. The lwsync fixup section uses .long instead of the
      FTR_ENTRY_OFFSET macro used by other fixups sections, and thus will
      generate 32-bit relocations that our module loader cannot resolve.
      
      This changes it to use the same type as other feature sections.
      
      Note however that we might want to consider using 32-bit for all the
      feature fixup offsets and add support for R_PPC_REL32 to module_64.c
      instead as that would reduce the size of the kernel image. I'll leave
      that as an exercise for the reader for now...
