x86/entry/ia32: Ensure s32 is sign extended to s64

Presently ia32 registers stored in ptregs are unconditionally cast to
unsigned int by the ia32 stub. They are then cast to long when passed to
__se_sys*, but will not be sign extended.

This takes the sign of the syscall argument into account in the ia32
stub. It still casts to unsigned int to avoid implementation specific
behavior. However then casts to int or unsigned int as necessary. So that
the following cast to long sign extends the value.

This fixes the io_pgetevents02 LTP test when compiled with -m32. Presently
the systemcall io_pgetevents_time64() unexpectedly accepts -1 for the
maximum number of events.

It doesn't appear other systemcalls with signed arguments are effected
because they all have compat variants defined and wired up.

posix-timers: Get rid of [COMPAT_]SYS_NI() uses

Only the posix timer system calls use this (when the posix timer support
is disabled, which does not actually happen in any normal case), because
they had debug code to print out a warning about missing system calls.

Get rid of that special case, and just use the standard COND_SYSCALL
interface that creates weak system call stubs that return -ENOSYS for
when the system call does not exist.

This fixes a kCFI issue with the SYS_NI() hackery:

CFI failure at int80_emulation+0x67/0xb0 (target: sys_ni_posix_timers+0x0/0x70; expected type: 0xb02b34d9)

x86/syscall: Include asm/ptrace.h in syscall_wrapper header

With just the forward declaration of the 'struct pt_regs' in
syscall_wrapper.h, the syscall stub functions:

__[x64|ia32]_sys_*(struct pt_regs *regs)

will have different definition of 'regs' argument in BTF data
based on which object file they are defined in.

If the syscall's object includes 'struct pt_regs' definition,
the BTF argument data will point to a 'struct pt_regs' record,
like:

[226] STRUCT 'pt_regs' size=168 vlen=21
'r15' type_id=1 bits_offset=0
'r14' type_id=1 bits_offset=64
'r13' type_id=1 bits_offset=128
...

If not, it will point to a fwd declaration record:

[15439] FWD 'pt_regs' fwd_kind=struct

and make bpf tracing program hooking on those functions unable
to access fields from 'struct pt_regs'.

Include asm/ptrace.h directly in syscall_wrapper.h to make sure all
syscalls see 'struct pt_regs' definition. This then results in BTF for
'__*_sys_*(struct pt_regs *regs)' functions to point to the actual
struct, not just the forward declaration.

[ bp: No Fixes tag as this is not really a bug fix but "adjustment" so
that BTF is happy. ]

x86: Remove toolchain check for X32 ABI capability

Commit 0bf6276392e9 ("x32: Warn and disable rather than error if
binutils too old") added a small test in arch/x86/Makefile because
binutils 2.22 or newer is needed to properly support elf32-x86-64. This
check is no longer necessary, as the minimum supported version of
binutils is 2.23, which is enforced at configuration time with
scripts/min-tool-version.sh.

Remove this check and replace all uses of CONFIG_X86_X32 with
CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI, as two symbols are no longer necessary.

[nathan: Rebase, fix up a few places where CONFIG_X86_X32 was still
used, and simplify commit message to satisfy -tip requirements]

x86/entry/x32: Rename __x32_compat_sys_* to __x64_compat_sys_*

The SYSCALL macros are mapped to symbols as follows:

__SYSCALL_COMMON(nr, sym) --> __x64_<sym>
__SYSCALL_X32(nr, sym) --> __x32_<sym>

Originally, the syscalls in the x32 special range (512-547) were all
compat.

This assumption is now broken after the following commits:

55db9c0e8534 ("net: remove compat_sys_{get,set}sockopt")
5f764d624a89 ("fs: remove the compat readv/writev syscalls")
598b3cec831f ("fs: remove compat_sys_vmsplice")
c3973b401ef2 ("mm: remove compat_process_vm_{readv,writev}")

Those commits redefined __x32_sys_* to __x64_sys_* because there is no stub
like __x32_sys_*.

Defining them as follows is more sensible and cleaner.

__SYSCALL_COMMON(nr, sym) --> __x64_<sym>
__SYSCALL_X32(nr, sym) --> __x64_<sym>

This works because both x86_64 and x32 use the same ABI (RDI, RSI, RDX,
R10, R8, R9)

The ugly #define __x32_sys_* will go away.

x86/syscalls: Fix -Wmissing-prototypes warnings from COND_SYSCALL()

Building kernel/sys_ni.c with W=1 emits tons of -Wmissing-prototypes warnings:

$ make W=1 kernel/sys_ni.o

CC kernel/sys_ni.o
./arch/x86/include/asm/syscall_wrapper.h:83:14: warning: no previous prototype for '__ia32_sys_io_setup' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
...

The problem is in __COND_SYSCALL(), the __SYS_STUB0() and __SYS_STUBx() macros
defined a few lines above already have forward declarations.

Let's do likewise for __COND_SYSCALL() to fix the warnings.

syscalls/core, syscalls/x86: Clean up compat syscall stub naming convention

Tidy the naming convention for compat syscall subs. Hints which describe
the purpose of the stub go in front and receive a double underscore to
denote that they are generated on-the-fly by the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx()
macro.

For the generic case, this means:

t kernel_waitid # common C function (see kernel/exit.c)

__do_compat_sys_waitid # inlined helper doing the actual work
# (takes original parameters as declared)

T __se_compat_sys_waitid # sign-extending C function calling inlined
# helper (takes parameters of type long,
# casts them to unsigned long and then to
# the declared type)

T compat_sys_waitid # alias to __se_compat_sys_waitid()
# (taking parameters as declared), to
# be included in syscall table

For x86, the naming is as follows:

t kernel_waitid # common C function (see kernel/exit.c)

__do_compat_sys_waitid # inlined helper doing the actual work
# (takes original parameters as declared)

t __se_compat_sys_waitid # sign-extending C function calling inlined
# helper (takes parameters of type long,
# casts them to unsigned long and then to
# the declared type)

T __ia32_compat_sys_waitid # IA32_EMULATION 32-bit-ptregs -> C stub,
# calls __se_compat_sys_waitid(); to be
# included in syscall table

T __x32_compat_sys_waitid # x32 64-bit-ptregs -> C stub, calls
# __se_compat_sys_waitid(); to be included
# in syscall table

If only one of IA32_EMULATION and x32 is enabled, __se_compat_sys_waitid()
may be inlined into the stub __{ia32,x32}_compat_sys_waitid().

syscalls/x86: Use 'struct pt_regs' based syscall calling for IA32_EMULATION and x32

Extend ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER for i386 emulation and for x32 on 64-bit
x86.

For x32, all we need to do is to create an additional stub for each
compat syscall which decodes the parameters in x86-64 ordering, e.g.:

asmlinkage long __compat_sys_x32_xyzzy(struct pt_regs *regs)
{
return c_SyS_xyzzy(regs->di, regs->si, regs->dx);
}

For i386 emulation, we need to teach compat_sys_*() to take struct
pt_regs as its only argument, e.g.:

asmlinkage long __compat_sys_ia32_xyzzy(struct pt_regs *regs)
{
return c_SyS_xyzzy(regs->bx, regs->cx, regs->dx);
}

In addition, we need to create additional stubs for common syscalls
(that is, for syscalls which have the same parameters on 32-bit and
64-bit), e.g.:

asmlinkage long __sys_ia32_xyzzy(struct pt_regs *regs)
{
return c_sys_xyzzy(regs->bx, regs->cx, regs->dx);
}

This approach avoids leaking random user-provided register content down
the call chain.

syscalls/x86: Use 'struct pt_regs' based syscall calling convention for 64-bit syscalls

Let's make use of ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER=y on pure 64-bit x86-64 systems:

Each syscall defines a stub which takes struct pt_regs as its only
argument. It decodes just those parameters it needs, e.g:

asmlinkage long sys_xyzzy(const struct pt_regs *regs)
{
return SyS_xyzzy(regs->di, regs->si, regs->dx);
}

This approach avoids leaking random user-provided register content down
the call chain.

For example, for sys_recv() which is a 4-parameter syscall, the assembly
now is (in slightly reordered fashion):

<sys_recv>:
callq <__fentry__>

/* decode regs->di, ->si, ->dx and ->r10 */
mov 0x70(%rdi),%rdi
mov 0x68(%rdi),%rsi
mov 0x60(%rdi),%rdx
mov 0x38(%rdi),%rcx

[ SyS_recv() is automatically inlined by the compiler,
as it is not [yet] used anywhere else ]
/* clear %r9 and %r8, the 5th and 6th args */
xor %r9d,%r9d
xor %r8d,%r8d

/* do the actual work */
callq __sys_recvfrom

/* cleanup and return */
cltq
retq

The only valid place in an x86-64 kernel which rightfully calls
a syscall function on its own -- vsyscall -- needs to be modified
to pass struct pt_regs onwards as well.

To keep the syscall table generation working independent of
SYSCALL_PTREGS being enabled, the stubs are named the same as the
"original" syscall stubs, i.e. sys_*().

This patch is based on an original proof-of-concept

and was split up and heavily modified by me, in particular to base it on
ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER, to limit it to 64-bit-only for the time being,
and to update the vsyscall to the new calling convention.
