* Introduce compat_u64 and compat_s64 typesArnd Bergmann2007-07-161-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One common problem with 32 bit system call and ioctl emulation is the different alignment rules between i386 and 64 bit machines. A number of drivers work around this by marking the compat structures as 'attribute((packed))', which is not the right solution because it breaks all the non-x86 architectures that want to use the same compat code. Hopefully, this patch improves the situation, it introduces two new types, compat_u64 and compat_s64. These are defined on all architectures to have the same size and alignment as the 32 bit version of u64 and s64. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Acked-by: David S.

* [SPARC64]: 8-byte align return value from compat_alloc_user_space()David S. Miller2006-10-221-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Otherwise we get a ton of unaligned exceptions, for cases such as compat_sys_msgrcv() which go: p = compat_alloc_user_space(second + sizeof(struct msgbuf)); and here 'second' can for example be an arbitrary odd value. Based upon a bug report from Jurij Smakov. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [PATCH] compat: be more consistent about [ug]id_tStephen Rothwell2005-09-071-8/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When I first wrote the compat layer patches, I was somewhat cavalier about the definition of compat_uid_t and compat_gid_t (or maybe I just misunderstood :-)). This patch makes the compat types much more consistent with the types we are being compatible with and hopefully will fix a few bugs along the way. compat type type in compat arch __compat_[ug]id_t __kernel_[ug]id_t __compat_[ug]id32_t __kernel_[ug]id32_t compat_[ug]id_t [ug]id_t The difference is that compat_uid_t is always 32 bits (for the archs we care about) but __compat_uid_t may be 16 bits on some.

* [PATCH] compat: introduce compat_time_tStephen Rothwell2005-06-231-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | This patch is based on work by Carlos O'Donell and Matthew Wilcox. It introduces/updates the compat_time_t type and uses it for compat siginfo structures. I have built this on ppc64 and x86_64. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] sparc64: Fix statDavid S. Miller2005-04-181-3/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Like Alpha, sparc64's struct stat was defined before we had the nanosecond et al. fields added. So like Alpha I have to cons up a struct stat64 to get this stuff. I'll work on the glibc bits soon. Also, we were forgetting to fill in the nanosecond fields in the sparc compat stat64 syscalls. Signed-off-by: David S.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
