The second part of this series. 

This routine is needed by the x25 module (32-64 bit patch), as
recommended it has been added to compat.c

This looks wrong, you're not doing any conversion here.
You cannot just copy sk_stamp to ctv, they are not compatible.
See compat_sys_gettimeofday on how to copy a struct timeval
correctly.

The other patches look good.

Hi Arnd
Thank you for reviewing that bit of code.  
I had a look at compat_sys_gettimeofday and sys32_gettimeofday codes.
They seem to work in a similar way, casting a pointer to the structure
from user space to a compat_timeval type.

But to make sure I have tested the routine by forcing the sk-
>sk_stamp.tv_sec value to 0 in the x25_module ( for testing purposes
only, as it is initialised to -1). Now when
I make a 32 bit userspace SIOCGSTAMP ioctl to the 64 bit kernel I should
get the current time back in user space. This seems to work, the ioctl
returns the system time (just after TEST6:)

So I have left the patch as is for now. However if necessary to use
the element-by-element __put_user routine as in put_tv32, then I can
make the change, just let me know.

Lastly, if anyone following this mail can help with adding this into the
next release, that would be really helpful. We are building a network
management application on linux for a telco and while they have 
the support of the SuSE's and Redhat's, any patches accepted by the
kernel community makes a difference, besides saving us from building
custom patches. (BTW, the application used to run on HP-UX, we are now
porting it to linux).

Many Thanks 
Shaun

The part with the case is ok, except that you don't have to write

struct compat_timeval __user *ctv;
ctv = (struct compat_timeval __user*) userstamp;

Instead,

struct compat_timeval __user *ctv = userstamp;

is the more common way to write it. The result is the same, since
userstamp is a 'void __user *'.

You need to to exactly that, yes. I'm not sure what exactly you have
tested, but the expected result of your code would be that you see
the sk_stamp.tv_sec value in the output, but not the tv_usec value.

On little-endian system like x86_64, that is not much of a difference
(less than a second) that you might miss in a test case, but on
big-endian, it would be fatal.

The layout of the structures on most systems is 

		64 bit LE	64 bit BE	32 bit

bytes 0-3	tv_sec low	tv_sec high	tv_sec low
bytes 4-7	tv_sec high	tv_sec low	tv_usec low
bytes 8-11	tv_usec low	tv_usec high
bytes 12-15	tv_usec high	tv_usec low

You code copies the first eight bytes of the 64 bit data structure
into the 32 bit data structure.

Hi Arnd

I have made the changes suggested, and attached it below. I think it
should be good now.  
Just a couple of questions if I may. 
If I understand correctly from your comments (thanks for that, they are
helpful)
copy_to_user acts like a memcopy for an 'array' of bytes and should not
be used to copy the timeval struct to userspace. 
Rather put_user / __put_user macros should be used which allows transfer
of single element values of the structure. 
Does that also mean that copy_to_user should not be used in ioctl
calls? 

I was wondering if this the compat_sock_get_timestamp function is
needed? If I were to remove the SIOCGSTAMP case from the
compat_x25_ioctl function, then a SIOCGSTAMP ioctl system call would
return -ENOIOCTLCMD which could  then be handled by do_siocgstamp
handler in the ioctl32_hash_table? (fs/compat_ioctl.c)
In which case I could remove this patch from the rest of the series.

Hmm, you will copy 32bit of MSB in big-endian.
You should do something like this:

        strtuct compat_timeval tvtmp;
        :
	tvtmp.tv_sec = sk->sk_stamp.tv_sec;
	tvtmp.tv_usec = sk->sk_stemp.tv_usec;
	return copy_to_user(ctv, &tvtmp, sizeof(tvtmp));

Or, am I miss something?

Yes, that would also work, as I already mentioned (or tried to)
in one of my earlier comments. I would prefer to have this patch
though, because in the long term, I think we should migrate more
stuff away from the hash table and having the function there
means that others can use it as well.

This copies the correct data down to user space now, but might result
in returning an invalid error code.
In the second line you now have 'err != __put_user(...);', which is
a comparison, not an assignment!
For readability, I would simply write that as:

	ret = 0;
	if (put_user(sk->sk_stamp.tv_sec, &ctv->tv_sec) |
	    put_user(sk->sk_stamp.tv_usec, &ctv->tv_usec))
		err = -EFAULT;

You can also write it like your code, but with '|' instead of '!', but
that requires the additional knowledge that __put_user can only ever
return '0' or '-EFAULT' itself and that the bitwise or of those is
therefore also one of these two.

btw, the above check is not needed here, but that's not my point.

Unfortunately, I just found another bug in this code, similar to one you 
already fixed in the sock_get_timestamp handler:
You can't do the copy_from_user like this if the arguments have different 
types. Changing the declaration 'struct x25_subscrip_struct x25_subscr;'
to 'struct compat_x25_subscrip_struct x25_subscr;' should fix this problem,
but please verify that it really works with a test case that relies on the 
contents of x25_subscr->extended.

Hi Arnd
 Here is the corrected version.
Using the x25_subscrip_struct structure (extend value = 1) set 
the following values in the kernel after copy_from_user

 global facility mask is F00000000
 Extended value is 1


Using the 32 bit compat_x25_subscrip_struct
set the following values in the struct after
copying from user.
global facility mask is 0000000F
Extended value is 1

The nb->global_facil_mask was then 
set to 0000000F when extended was 1

Thanks for this,

/Shaun

Hi Arnd
 Assuming you are happy with the state of the patches, is there anyway
for me to know if they will become a part of the next release?
Usually submitted/reviewed patches to netdev does not not always
guarantee they will be acccepted/signed-off.
Any advice would be useful
Thanks
Shaun

I don't see any more technical problems with your patches. You still need
to proper patch description and Signed-off-by: line like it is described
in Documentation/SubmittingPatches.
You can add an 'Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>' line to the four
patches you posted last if you like.

I'm not that familiar with the process for non-driver patches for netdev
(nor for device drivers as it seems ;-)), but my understanding is that you 
should address those to Jeff Garzik as well, asking for inclusion in the
netdev-2.6 git tree in your introductory '[PATCH 0/4]' mail.

Since the official merge window for 2.6.16 is now over (2.6.16-rc1 has been
released), it may have to wait for 2.6.17 to become part of the mainline
kernel, that probably depends on Jeffs judgement.

I would think it can still go in since it is a bug fix for the execution of
32 bit programs using x25 ioctls, but it's clearly not my decision ;-).

Those should be CC:'d to me, not Jeff, he has enough to review
and merge :)
