The only differenence betweeen the compat exec* syscalls and their
native versions is that compat_ptr sign extension, and the fact that
the pointer arithmetics for the two dimensional arrays needs to use
the compat pointer size.  Instead of the compat wrappers and the
struct user_arg_ptr machinery just use in_compat_syscall() to do the
right thing for the compat case deep inside get_user_arg_ptr().

Nice!

I have an older patch doing the same for sys_mount() somewhere,
but never got around to send that. One day we should see if we
can just do this for all of them.

I would expect that the "#ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT" can be removed
now, since compat_ptr() and in_compat_syscall() are now defined
unconditionally. I have not tried that though.

Maybe move it to arch/x86/kernel/process_64.c or arch/x86/entry/syscall_x32.c
to keep it out of the common code if this is needed. I don't really understand
the comment, why can't this just use this?

True, I'll give it a spin.

I'd rather keep it in common code as that allows all the low-level
exec stuff to be marked static, and avoid us growing new pointless
compat variants through copy and paste.

That errors out with:

Ah, I see: it's marked x32-only, so arch/x86/entry/syscall_x32.c
uses the __x32 prefix instead of the __x64 one. Marking it 'common'
instead would make it work, but also create an extra entry point
for native processes, something that commit
6365b842aae4 ("x86/syscalls: Split the x32 syscalls into their own table")
was trying to avoid.

Marking it common also doesn't compile at all because __NR_execve
and __NR_execveat get redefined in unistd_64.h.  I then tried to rename
the x32 versions, which failed in yet another way.  At that point I gave
up instead of digging myself into a deeper hole..

How about this one:

Still ugly, but much simpler and more localized (if it works).

I think I have a fix for this, by modifying the syscall wrappers to
add an alias for the __x32 variant to the native __x64_sys_foo().
I'll get back to you with a patch.

If you move those aliases above all the __SYSCALL_* defines it will
work, since that will get the forward declaration too.  This would be
the simplest workaround.

That compiles and also passes my exaustive x32 tests (chroot + ls -l).

This is the updated version:

Do we actually need the __x32 prefix any more, or could we just
change all x32 specific calls to use __x64_compat_sys_foo()?

I suppose that would work too.  The prefix really describes the
register mapping.
