e967ef022e MIPS: Fix restart of indirect syscalls
When 32-bit MIPS userspace invokes a syscall indirectly via syscall(number,
arg1, ..., arg7), the kernel looks up the actual syscall based on the given
number, shifts the other arguments to the left, and jumps to the syscall.

If the syscall is interrupted by a signal and indicates it needs to be
restarted by the kernel (by returning ERESTARTNOINTR for example), the
syscall must be called directly, since the number is no longer the first
argument, and the other arguments are now staged for a direct call.

Before shifting the arguments, store the syscall number in pt_regs->regs[2].
This gets copied temporarily into pt_regs->regs[0] after the syscall returns.
If the syscall needs to be restarted, handle_signal()/do_signal() copies the
number back to pt_regs->reg[2], which ends up in $v0 once control returns to
userspace.

4c21b8fd8f MIPS: seccomp: Handle indirect system calls (o32)
When userland uses syscall() to perform an indirect system call
the actually system call that needs to be checked by the filter
is on the first argument. The kernel code needs to handle this case
by looking at the original syscall number in v0 and if it's
NR_syscall, then it needs to examine the first argument to
identify the real system call that will be executed.
Similarly, we need to 'virtually' shift the syscall() arguments
so the syscall_get_arguments() function can fetch the correct
arguments for the indirect system call.

this patch.

7b21fddd08 ns: Wire up the setns system call
32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working.  The rest I have looked
at closely and I can't find any problems.

setns is an easy system call to wire up.  It just takes two ints so I
don't expect any weird architecture porting problems.

While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are
very slow to get new system calls.  cris seems to be the slowest where
the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev.  avr32 is weird
in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h.  frv is
behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up.  On h8300
the last system call wired up was epoll_wait.  On m32r the last system
call wired up was fallocate.  mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system
call wired up.  The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was
new in the 2.6.39.

v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com>
v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
v4: Moved wiring up of the system call to another patch
v5: ported to v2.6.39-rc6
v6: rebased onto parisc-next and net-next to avoid syscall  conflicts.
v7: ported to Linus's latest post 2.6.39 tree.

a2e2725541 net: Introduce recvmmsg socket syscall
Meaning receive multiple messages, reducing the number of syscalls and
net stack entry/exit operations.

Next patches will introduce mechanisms where protocols that want to
optimize this operation will provide an unlocked_recvmsg operation.

This takes into account comments made by:

. Paul Moore: sock_recvmsg is called only for the first datagram,
  sock_recvmsg_nosec is used for the rest.

. Caitlin Bestler: recvmmsg now has a struct timespec timeout, that
  works in the same fashion as the ppoll one.

  If the underlying protocol returns a datagram with MSG_OOB set, this
  will make recvmmsg return right away with as many datagrams (+ the OOB
  one) it has received so far.

. Rémi Denis-Courmont & Steven Whitehouse: If we receive N < vlen
  datagrams and then recvmsg returns an error, recvmmsg will return
  the successfully received datagrams, store the error and return it
  in the next call.

This paves the way for a subsequent optimization, sk_prot->unlocked_recvmsg,
where we will be able to acquire the lock only at batch start and end, not at
every underlying recvmsg call.

cdd6c482c9 perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events
Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!

In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.

Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.

All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)

The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.

Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.

User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)

This patch has been generated via the following script:

  FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')

  sed -i \
    -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
    -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
    -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
    -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
    -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
    $FILES

  for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
    M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
    mv $N $M
  done

  FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)

  sed -i \
    -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
    -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
    -e 's/counter/event/g' \
    -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
    $FILES

... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.

Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.

( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
  with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
  over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
  in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
  better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
  instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

08d30879a6 MIPS: o32: Fix number of arguments to splice(2).
The syscall code was assuming splice only takes 4 arguments so no stack
arguments were being copied from the userspace stack to the kernel stack.
As the result splice was likely to fail with EINVAL.

e807f9574e MIPS: Fix potential DOS by untrusted user app.
On a 64 bit kernel if an o32 syscall was made with a syscall number less
than 4000, we would read the function from outside of the bounds of the
syscall table.  This led to non-deterministic behavior including system
crashes.

While we were at it we reworked the 32 bit version as well to use fewer
instructions.  Both 32 and 64 bit versions are use the same code now.
