   4 Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: restore INLINE_SYSCALL macro
   5
   6 The MIPS specific INLINE_SYSCALL macro has been renamed to
   7 INLINE_SYSCALL_NCS with:
   8
   9   763bbf9e9a27426c9be8322dca5ddf2cb4dbc464
  10
  11   syscall: unify part 2: NCS variety
  12
  13   Declare common NCS (non-constant syscall) variants and convert the
  14   existing ports over to this.
  15
  16 This change breaks system calls. The code generated with using of the
  17 new macro does not obey the restartable syscall convention used by the
  18 linux kernel. When it tries to restart the syscall the errno value is
  19 not being replaced by the syscall number.
  20
  21 This causes weird behaviour of the 'ping' command in busybox for
  22 example:
  23
  24 root@OpenWrt:/# ping 192.168.1.254
  25 PING 192.168.1.254 (192.168.1.254): 56 data bytes

  47 Here is the relevant assembler code parts of the 'recvfrom' function:
  48
  49 with the current INLINE_SYSCALL_NCS:
  50 00000000 <__GI_recvfrom>:
  51   ...
  52   2c:   24021050        li      v0,4176
  53   30:   8fd1003c        lw      s1,60(s8)
  54   34:   8fd00038        lw      s0,56(s8)
  55   38:   27bdffe0        addiu   sp,sp,-32
  56   3c:   afb00010        sw      s0,16(sp)
  57   40:   afb10014        sw      s1,20(sp)  <-- wrong
  58   44:   0000000c        syscall
  59   48:   27bd0020        addiu   sp,sp,32
  60   ...
  61
  62 with the old INLINE_SYSCALL:
  63 00000000 <__libc_recvfrom>:
  64   ...
  65   28:   8fd0003c        lw      s0,60(s8)
  66   2c:   8fc20038        lw      v0,56(s8)
  67   30:   27bdffe0        addiu   sp,sp,-32
  68   34:   afa20010        sw      v0,16(sp)
  69   38:   afb00014        sw      s0,20(sp)
  70   3c:   24021050        li      v0,4176   <-- good
  71   40:   0000000c        syscall
  72   44:   27bd0020        addiu   sp,sp,32
  73   ...

  78 Notes:
  79
  80 The ideal solution would to fix the 'internal_syscall' macros to generate
  81 correct code for the NCS case as well. However the INLINE_SYSCALL macro
  82 generates smaller code if the syscall number is constant, so it is
  83 useful in such cases.
  84
  85 Additionally, the current INLINE_SYSCALL_NCS in the 'mips/bits/syscall.h'
  86 is a duplicate of the one in the 'common/bits/syscalls-common.h' so it
  87 should be removed anyway.
