despite riscv32 being natively time64, the IPC_TIME64 bit (0x100) is
set in IPC_STAT and derived command macros, differentiating their
values from the raw command values used to interface with the kernel.
this reflects that the kernel ipc structure types are not natively
time64, but have broken-down hi/lo fields that cannot be used in-place
and require translation, and that the userspace struct types differ
from the kernel types (relevant to things like strace).
These are mostly copied from riscv64. _Addr and _Reg had to become int
to match compiler-controlled parts of the ABI (result type of sizeof,
etc.). There is no kernel stat struct; the userspace stat matches
glibc in the sizes and offsets of all fields (including glibc's
__dev_t __pad1). The jump buffer is 12 words larger to account for 12
saved double-precision floats; additionally it should be 64-bit
aligned to save doubles.
The syscall list was significantly revised by deleting all time32 and
pre-statx syscalls, and renaming several syscalls that have different
names depending on __BITS_PER_LONG, notably mmap2 and _llseek.
futex was added as an alias to futex_time64 since it is widely used by
software which does not pass time arguments.
user_regs_struct and user_fp_struct were missing from the initial
commit of the port.
the union type for elf_fpreg_t and the new value of ELF_NFPREG are
made consistent with glibc.

implement the posix api, see

we wrongly defined a dummy SA_RESTORER flag on these archs, despite
the kernel interface not actually having such a feature. on archs
which lack SA_RESTORER, the kernel sigaction structure also lacks the
restorer function pointer member, which means the signal mask appears
at a different offset. the kernel was thereby interpreting the bits of
the code address as part of the signal set to be masked while handling
the signal.
this patch removes the erroneous SA_RESTORER definitions from archs
which do not have it, makes access to the member conditional on
whether SA_RESTORER is defined for the arch, and removes the
now-unused asm for the affected archs.
because there are reportedly versions of qemu-user which also use the
wrong ABI here, the old ksigaction struct size is preserved with an
unused member at the end. this is harmless and mitigates the risk of
such a bug turning into a buffer overflow onto the sigaction
function's stack.
mips has its own mechanisms for DT_DEBUG because it makes _DYNAMIC
read-only, and the original mechanism, DT_MIPS_RLD_MAP, was
PIE-incompatible. DT_MIPS_RLD_MAP_REL was added to remedy this, but we
never implemented support for it. add it now using the same idioms for
mips-specific ldso logic.
commit 4486c579cb disabled vdso
clock_gettime on arm due to a Linux kernel bug that was not understood
at the time, whereby the vdso function silently produced
catastrophically wrong results on some systems.
since then, the bug was tracked down to the way the arm kernel
disabled use of vdso clock_gettime on kernels where the necessary
timer was not available or was disabled. it simply patched out the
symbols, but it only did this for the legacy time32 functions, and
left the time64 function in place but non-operational. kernel commit
4405bdf3c57ec28d606bdf5325f1167505bfdcd4 (first present in 5.8)
provided the fix.
if this were a bug that impacted all users of the broken kernel
versions, we could probably ignore it and assume it had been patched
or replaced. however, it's very possible that these kernels appear in
the wild in devices running time32 userspace (glibc, musl 1.1.x, or
some other environment) where they appear to work fine, but where our
new binaries would fail catastrophically if we used the time64 vdso
function.
since the kernel has not (yet?) given us a way to probe for the
working time64 vdso function semantically, we work around the problem
by refusing to use the time64 one unless the time32 one is also
present. this will revert to not using vdso at all if the time32 one
is ever removed, but at least that's safe against wrong results and is
just a missed optimization.
sys/reg.h already had it right as 32, to which it was explicitly
changed when commit 664cd34192 derived
x32 from x86_64. but the copy exposed in sys/user.h was missed.

arch: Wire up Landlock syscalls
linuxcommit 17ae69aba89dbfa2139b7f8024b757ab3cc42f59
Merge tag 'landlock_v34' of ... jmorris/linux-security
Landlock provides for unprivileged application sandboxing. The goal of
Landlock is to enable to restrict ambient rights (e.g. global filesystem
access) for a set of processes. Landlock is inspired by seccomp-bpf but
instead of filtering syscalls and their raw arguments, a Landlock rule
can restrict the use of kernel objects like file hierarchies, according
to the kernel semantic.
PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS is old, but it was missing, PTRACE_SYSEMU and
PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP are new, see

When the soft-float ABI for PowerPC was added in commit
5a92dd95c7, with Freescale cpus using
the alternative SPE FPU as the main use case, it was noted that we
could probably support hard float on them, but that it would involve
determining some difficult ABI constraints. This commit is the
completion of that work.
The Power-Arch-32 ABI supplement defines the ABI profiles, and indeed
ATR-SPE is built on ATR-SOFT-FLOAT. But setjmp/longjmp compatibility
are problematic for the same reason they're problematic on ARM, where
optional float-related parts of the register file are "call-saved if
present". This requires testing __hwcap, which is now done.
In keeping with the existing powerpc-sf subarch definition, which did
not have fenv, the fenv macros are not defined for SPE and the SPEFSCR
control register is left (and assumed to start in) the default mode.
commit 6d99ad91e8 introduced this
regression as part of a larger change, based on an incorrect
assumption that rdhwr being part of the mips r2 ISA level meant that
the TLS register, known in the mips documentation as UserLocal, was
unconditionally present on chips providing this ISA level and would
not need trap-and-emulate. this turns out to be false.
based on research by Stanislav Kljuhhin and Abilio Marques, who
reported the problem as a performance regression on certain routers
using OpenWRT vs older uclibc-based versions, it turns out the mips
manuals document the UserLocal register as a feature that might or
might not be implemented or enabled, reflected by a cpu capability bit
in the CONFIG3 register, and that Linux checks for this and has to
explicitly enable it on models that have it.
thus, it's indeed possible that r2+ chips can lack the feature,
bringing us back to the situation where Linux only has a fast
trap-and-emulate path for the case where the destination register is
$3. so, always read the thread pointer through $3. this may incur a
gratuitous move to the desired final register on chips where it's not
needed, but it really doesn't matter.
the kernel structure has padding of the shm_segsz member up to 64
bits, as well as 2 unused longs at the end. somehow that was
overlooked when the powerpc port was added, and it has been broken
ever since; applications compiled with the wrong definition do not
correctly see the shm_segsz, shm_cpid, and shm_lpid members.
fixing the definition just by adding the missing padding would break
the ABI size of the structure as well as the position of the time64
shm_atime and shm_dtime members we added at the end. instead, just
move one of the unused padding members from the original end (before
time64) of the structure to the position of the missing padding. this
preserves size and preserves correct behavior of any compiled code
that was already working. programs affected by the wrong definition
need to be recompiled with the correct one.
mainly added to linux to allow a central process management service in
android to give MADV_COLD|PAGEOUT hints for other processes, see

float_t should represent the type that is used to evaluate float
expressions internally. On s390x, float_t is currently set to double.
In contrast, the isa supports single-precision float operations and
compilers by default evaluate float in single precision, which
violates the C standard (sections 5.2.4.2.2 and 7.12 in C11/C17, to be
precise). With -fexcess-precision=standard, gcc evaluates float in
double precision, which aligns with the standard yet at the cost of
added conversion instructions.
gcc-11 will drop the special case to retrofit double precision
behavior for -fexcess-precision=standard so that __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__
will be 0 on s390x in any scenario.
To improve standards compliance and compatibility with future compiler
direction, this patch changes the definition of float_t to be derived
from the compiler's __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__.

the ABI type for the vector registers in fpregset_t, struct
fpsimd_context, and struct user_fpsimd_struct is __uint128_t, which
was presumably originally not used because it's a nonstandard type,
but its existence is mandated by the aarch64 psABI. use of the wrong
type here broke software using these structures, and encouraged
incorrect fixes with casts rather than reinterpretation of
representation.

m68k: Wire up clone3() syscall
the fcntl file locking command macro values in the existing generic
bits/fcntl.h were the "64" variants, requiring 64-bit archs that use
the "plain" variants to have their own bits/fcntl.h, even if they
otherwise use the common definitions for everything.
since commit 7cc79d10af exposed
__LONG_MAX to all bits headers, we can now make the generic one common
between 32- and 64-bit archs.
prior to commit 685e40bb09, x86_64 was
correctly passing O_LARGEFILE to SYS_open; it was removed (defined to
0 in the public header, and changed to use the public definition) as
part of that change, probably out of a mistaken belief that it's not
needed.
however, on a mixed system with 32-bit and 64-bit binaries, it's
important that all files be opened with O_LARGEFILE, even if the
opening process is 64-bit, in case a descriptor is passed to a 32-bit
process. otherwise, attempts to access past 2GB in the 32-bit process
could produce EOVERFLOW.
most 64-bit archs added later got this right alread, except for
mips64. x32 was also affected. there are now fixed.
dtv_copy, canary2, and canary_at_end existed solely to match multiple
ABI and asm-accessed layouts simultaneously. now that pthread_arch.h
can be included before struct __pthread is defined, the struct layout
can depend on macros defined by pthread_arch.h.
the adjustment made is entirely a function of TLS_ABOVE_TP and
TP_OFFSET. aside from avoiding repetition of the TP_OFFSET value and
arithmetic, this change makes pthread_arch.h independent of the
definition of struct __pthread from pthread_impl.h. this in turn will
allow inclusion of pthread_arch.h to be moved to the top of
pthread_impl.h so that it can influence the definition of the
structure.
previously, arch files were very inconsistent about the type used for
the thread pointer. this change unifies the new __get_tp interface to
always use uintptr_t, which is the most correct when performing
arithmetic that may involve addresses outside the actual pointed-to
object (due to TP_OFFSET).
