I have a number of patches for the o32 syscall wrapper/conversion routines, which is needed when running a 64-bit kernel on an o32 userland.
Here is the first one. Ralf, could you please apply it, so I can send the next one.

/Carsten

Here is the first one. Ralf, could you please apply it, so I can send the next one.

Do you have a fix for sys32_sendmsg/sys32_recvmsg as well? I just
started working on it and I'd prefer not to do a duplicate work.

As a side note -- arch/mips64/kernel/linux32.c is a huge collection of
often unrelated functions. It might be beneficial to split the file functionally, e.g. into fs32.c, net32.c, etc. or even with a finer grain, preferably in a subdirectory, e.g. arch/mips64/linux32/. What do you think?

Yes, that's exactly the next one, I will be sending. So stay tuned.

That's probably a good idea, but I would like to get my patches out first, before splitting things up.

Much of the code is so generic it almost deserves to live in a directory even higher in the hierarchy. If you look at the 32-bit compat code for the various 64-bit architectures of Linux (in particular sparc64 and ia64), it's a single huge cut'n'paste session. Not much of that code is actually architecture dependant.

That would be even better, but unfortunately a lot of the structures used in the compat code is not exactly the same across architectures :-( But it should be possible to merges a lot this stuff into a generic (architecture independent) set of functions.

True. The basic plan would be to provide the structure definitions and some architecture dependencies from headers and keep the generic compat code in a linux-32 directory.

The syscalls are still fairly harmless - the true pain are all the ioctls that keep growing and changing like weed ...

Ok, here is the next patch.
It fixes the sys32_sendmsg and sys32_recvmsg.

Ok, here is the next patch.
It fixes the sys32_sendmsg and sys32_recvmsg.

Ok, in. Maciej, you can start the chainsawing ;-)

Hmm, I couldn't test it as init now crashes with a SIGSEGV soon after
starting. I had no time to investigate it further. I fear it might be related, though -- /dev/initctl communication?

Hmm, are you sure it's related ?
It works fine for me, and it fixes the problems I had before I added this fix.

No, I wasn't -- as I wrote I had no time to investigate it further and I
was asking for comments from people. Now I'm sure it is not.

Yep, it works here with openssh, which used not to work before. Thanks a
lot.

The reason of the failure was a recent r4kcache.h breakage -- this is the
kind of mistakes that makes me consider a run-time check a necessity even for supposedly trivial and innocent changes (well, a compilation should actually suffice for lone comment updates).
