[PATCH v2 13/29] arch: add split IPC system calls where needed

Arnd Bergmann arnd at arndb.de
Sat Jan 19 03:18:19 AEDT 2019


The IPC system call handling is highly inconsistent across architectures,
some use sys_ipc, some use separate calls, and some use both.  We also
have some architectures that require passing IPC_64 in the flags, and
others that set it implicitly.

For the additon of a y2083 safe semtimedop() system call, I chose to only
support the separate entry points, but that requires first supporting
the regular ones with their own syscall numbers.

The IPC_64 is now implied by the new semctl/shmctl/msgctl system
calls even on the architectures that require passing it with the ipc()
multiplexer.

I'm not adding the new semtimedop() or semop() on 32-bit architectures,
those will get implemented using the new semtimedop_time64() version
that gets added along with the other time64 calls.
Three 64-bit architectures (powerpc, s390 and sparc) get semtimedop().

One aspect here that might be a bit controversial is the use of
the same system call numbers across all architectures, synchronizing
all of them with the x86-32 numbers. With the new syscall.tbl
files, I hope we can just keep doing that in the future, and no
longer require the architecture maintainers to assign a number.

This is mainly useful for implementers of the C libraries: if
we can add future system calls everywhere at the same time, using
a particular version of the kernel headers also guarantees that
the system call number macro is visible.
