Summary

BITSET uses long as its basic underlying type, which is dependent on the
compile type, meaning on 32-bit builds the basic type is 32 bits, but on
64-bit builds it's 64 bits. On little endian architectures this doesn't
matter, because the LSB is always at the low bit, so the words get
effectively concatenated moving between 32-bit and 64-bit, but on
big-endian architectures it throws a wrench in, as setting bit 0 in
32-bit mode is equivalent to setting bit 32 in 64-bit mode. To
demonstrate:

32-bit mode:

BIT_SET(foo, 0): 0x00000001

64-bit sees: 0x0000000100000000

cpuset is the only system interface that uses bitsets, so solve this
by swapping the integer sub-components at the copyin/copyout points.

Style: there should be a blank line after the locals declaration block.

I belive this code should go somewhere in sys/compat/freebsd32/freebsd32_misc.c.
Then you would define a structure with two pointers to functions: one for copyin, another for copyout, and pass this structure to corresponding kern_ functions.

This way compat32 cpuset syscalls would be contained in compat/freebsd32.

Most exemplar case following this pattern is umtx_op(2), but for some reason compat32 bits are present in kern_umtx.c.

Good idea. I had thought of that, but scrapped the idea before implementing thinking it would be too intrusive. But, on actually implementing, it is cleaner.

Address @kib's comments. Looks nicer now.

sys/compat/freebsd32/freebsd32_misc.c

I would use multi-line comment there.

/*
 * Loop through swapping words.
 * `size' is in bytes, we need bits.
 */

IMO return (0)'; there is better. You do this for copyout.

sys/sys/cpuset.h

Why do you need 'struct thread *' argument? Do you have plans to support e.g. both big- and little-endian compat32 on same host?

It was remnant from the previous patch version, and can be removed. Supporting BE and LE on one host would be interesting and fun, but probably little practicality.

Extra blank line.

suword returns -1 on error, which is practically converted to ERESTART there. You need to return EFAULT below, instead of rv.

jhibbits marked an inline comment as done.

Fix return on suword() failure.

Can this be static const struct cpuset_copy_cb ... ? You would need to constify some function arguments for this to work.

sys/kern/kern_cpuset.c
1746

const there as well?

Seems ok to me, just some nitpicking. I agree with kib's comments about qualifying cpuset_copy_cb pointers with const.

Or perhaps just explain that sizeof(__bits[0]) == 8 for LP64 and 4 for ILP32.

Maybe then it's clear enough without the comment.
