[PATCH 3.4 79/91] perf: Handle compat ioctl

From: lizf@kernel.org
Date: 2015-01-28 04:56:52
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: performance events subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Peter Zijlstra, Ingo Molnar, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo, Namhyung Kim, Linus Torvalds

From: Pawel Moll <redacted>

3.4.105-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


commit b3f207855f57b9c8f43a547a801340bb5cbc59e5 upstream.

When running a 32-bit userspace on a 64-bit kernel (eg. i386
application on x86_64 kernel or 32-bit arm userspace on arm64
kernel) some of the perf ioctls must be treated with special
care, as they have a pointer size encoded in the command.

For example, PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID in 32-bit world will be encoded
as 0x80042407, but 64-bit kernel will expect 0x80082407. In
result the ioctl will fail returning -ENOTTY.

This patch solves the problem by adding code fixing up the
size as compat_ioctl file operation.
