2018-04-02mm: add kernel_mbind() helper; remove in-kernel call to syscallDominik Brodowski1-4/+11
Using the mm-internal kernel_mbind() helper allows us to get rid of the mm-internal call to the sys_mbind() syscall. This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180325162527.GA17492@light.dominikbrodowski.net Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.net>

2018-04-02kernel: provide ksys_*() wrappers for syscalls called by kernel/uid16.cDominik Brodowski3-17/+74
Using these helpers allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to these syscalls: sys_setregid(), sys_setgid(), sys_setreuid(), sys_setuid(), sys_setresuid(), sys_setresgid(), sys_setfsuid(), and sys_setfsgid(). The ksys_ prefix denotes that these function are meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, they use the same calling convention.

The non-compat codepaths for sys_...msg() verify that MSG_CMSG_COMPAT is not set. By moving this check to the __sys_...msg() functions (and making it dependent on a static flag passed to this function), we can call the __sys...msg() functions instead of the syscall functions in all cases. __sys_recvmmsg() does not need this trickery, as the check is handled within the do_sys_recvmmsg() function internal to net/socket.c.

2018-04-02net: socket: add __sys_sendto() helper; remove in-kernel call to syscallDominik Brodowski3-8/+17
Using the net-internal helper __sys_sendto() allows us to avoid the internal calls to the sys_sendto() syscall. This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180325162527.GA17492@light.dominikbrodowski.net Cc: David S.

2018-04-02x86: remove compat_sys_x86_waitpid()Dominik Brodowski3-10/+1
compat_sys_x86_waitpid() is not needed, as it takes the same parameters (int, *int, int) as the native syscall.

2018-04-02x86: use _do_fork() in compat_sys_x86_clone()Dominik Brodowski1-1/+2
It is trivial to directly call _do_fork() instead of the sys_clone() syscall in compat_sys_x86_clone(). This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

2018-04-02mm: use do_futex() instead of sys_futex() in mm_release()Dominik Brodowski2-5/+12
sys_futex() is a wrapper to do_futex() which does not modify any values here: - uaddr, val and val3 are kept the same - op is masked with FUTEX_CMD_MASK, but is always set to FUTEX_WAKE. Therefore, val2 is always 0. - as utime is set to NULL, *timeout is NULL This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

2018-04-02kexec: call do_kexec_load() in compat syscall directlyDominik Brodowski1-13/+39
do_kexec_load() can be called directly by compat_sys_kexec() as long as the same parameters checks are completed which are currently handled (also) by sys_kexec(). Therefore, move those to kexec_load_check(), call that newly introduced helper function from both sys_kexec() and compat_sys_kexec(), and duplicate the remaining code from sys_kexec() in compat_sys_kexec(). This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

A similar but not fully equivalent code path is already open-coded three times (in sys_rt_sigpending and in the two compat stubs), so do it a fourth time here. This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

2018-04-02kernel: use kernel_wait4() instead of sys_wait4()Dominik Brodowski3-6/+6
All call sites of sys_wait4() set *rusage to NULL. Therefore, there is no need for the copy_to_user() handling of *rusage, and we can use kernel_wait4() directly. This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

2018-03-25syscalls: define and explain goal to not call syscalls in the kernelDominik Brodowski2-0/+39
The syscall entry points to the kernel defined by SYSCALL_DEFINEx() and COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() should only be called from userspace through kernel entry points, but not from the kernel itself. This will allow cleanups and optimizations to the entry paths *and* to the parts of the kernel code which currently need to pretend to be userspace in order to make use of syscalls.
