a400bed6d1 MIPS: scall: Handle seccomp filters which redirect syscalls
Commit d218af7849 ("MIPS: scall: Always run the seccomp syscall
filters") modified the syscall code to always call the seccomp filters,
but missed the case where a filter may redirect the syscall, as
revealed by the seccomp_bpf self test.

The syscall path now restores the syscall from the stack after the
filter rather than saving it locally. Syscall number checking and
syscall function table lookup is done after the filter may have run such
that redirected syscalls are also checked, and executed.

The regular path of syscall number checking and pointer lookup is also
made more consistent between ABIs with scall64-64.S being the reference.

With this patch in place, the seccomp_bpf self test now passes
TRACE_syscall.syscall_redirected and TRACE_syscall.syscall_dropped on
all MIPS ABIs.

d218af7849 MIPS: scall: Always run the seccomp syscall filters
The MIPS syscall handler code used to return -ENOSYS on invalid
syscalls. Whilst this is expected, it caused problems for seccomp
filters because the said filters never had the change to run since
the code returned -ENOSYS before triggering them. This caused
problems on the chromium testsuite for filters looking for invalid
syscalls. This has now changed and the seccomp filters are always
run even if the syscall is invalid. We return -ENOSYS once we
return from the seccomp filters. Moreover, similar codepaths have
been merged in the process which simplifies somewhat the overall
syscall code.

9f161439e4 MIPS: Fix seccomp syscall argument for MIPS64
Commit 4c21b8fd8f ("MIPS: seccomp: Handle indirect system calls (o32)")
fixed indirect system calls on O32 but it also introduced a bug for MIPS64
where it erroneously modified the v0 (syscall) register with the assumption
that the sycall offset hasn't been taken into consideration. This breaks
seccomp on MIPS64 n64 and n32 ABIs. We fix this by replacing the addition
with a move instruction.

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.

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.

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. )

6783fe6253 [MIPS] Wire up the timerfd_*() o32 system calls
This patch enables the system calls timerfd_create(), timerfd_settime()
and timerfd_gettime() for MIPS architecture.

Please see the following Bugzilla entry for more details:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10038

This was tested using a Malta 4Kc board in both little-endian and
big-endian modes. The unit test program is available from the URL
above.

4d672e7ac7 timerfd: new timerfd API
This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch:

int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags);
int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags,
		    const struct itimerspec *utmr,
		    struct itimerspec *otmr);
int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr);

The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd.  The "clockid"
parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME.

The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally
retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not
NULL).

The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit
is set in the "flags" parameter.  Otherwise it's a relative time.

The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or
{0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet.

Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are
supported (with the same interface).  Here's a simple test program I used to
exercise the new timerfd APIs:
