Huh? Instead of
case PPPIOCSCOMPRESS:
err = ppp_set_compress(ppp, arg);
break;
in native, have
struct ppp_option_data data;
...
case PPPIOCSCOMPRESS:
if (copy_from_user(&data, argp, sizeof(data)))
err = -EFAULT;
else
err = ppp_set_compress(ppp, &data);
break;

while in compat do
struct ppp_option_data32 data32;

case PPPIOCSCOMPRESS32:
if (copy_from_user(&data32, argp, sizeof(data32)))
err = -EFAULT;
else
err = ppp_set_compress(ppp, &(struct ppp_option_data){
.ptr = compat_ptr(data32.ptr),
.length = data32.length,
.transmit = data32.transmit
});
break;

PPPIOCGIDLE is small to start with - not a lot to copy there.
And as for the filters... What you need is something like

struct bpf_prog *get_ppp_bpf(struct sock_fprog __user *p)
{
struct sock_fprog uprog;
struct sock_fprog_kern fprog;
struct sock_filter *code = NULL;
struct bpf_prog *res;
int err;

if (copy_from_user(&uprog, p, sizeof(uprog)))
return ERR_PTR(-EFAULT);

if (!uprog.len)
return NULL;

fprog.len = uprog.len * sizeof(struct sock_filter);
code = fprog.filter = memdup_user(uprog.filter, fprog.len);
if (IS_ERR(code))
return ERR_CAST(code);

err = bpf_prog_create(&res, &fprog);
kfree(code);

if (err)
return ERR_PTR(err);
return res;
}
in net/core/ppp-filter.c (or in net/core/filter.c, for that matter, under
appropriate ifdef)) with obvious compat counterpart next to it. Hell,
turn the above into

static struct bpf_prog *__get_ppp_bpf(struct sock_fprog *kp)
{
struct sock_fprog_kern fprog;
struct sock_filter *code = NULL;
struct bpf_prog *res;
int err;

if (!kp->len)
return NULL;

fprog.len = kp->len * sizeof(struct sock_filter);
code = fprog.filter = memdup_user(kp->filter, fprog.len);
if (IS_ERR(code))
return ERR_CAST(code);

err = bpf_prog_create(&res, &fprog);
kfree(code);

if (err)
return ERR_PTR(err);
return res;
}

struct bpf_prog *get_ppp_bpf(struct sock_fprog __user *p)
{
struct sock_fprog uprog;

if (copy_from_user(&uprog, p, sizeof(uprog)))
return ERR_PTR(-EFAULT);
return __get_ppp_bpf(&uprog);
}

struct bpf_prog *compat_get_ppp_bpf(struct sock_fprog32 __user *p)
{
struct sock_fprog uprog32;

if (copy_from_user(&uprog32, p, sizeof(uprog32)))
return ERR_PTR(-EFAULT);
return __get_ppp_bpf(&(struct sock_fprog){
.len = uprog32.len,
.filter = compat_ptr(uprog32.filter)});
}

Then in native ioctl do
case PPPIOCSPASS:
case PPPIOCSACTIVE:
{
struct bpf_prog *filter = get_bpf_ppp(argp);

if (IS_ERR(filter)) {
err = PTR_ERR(filter);
} else {
struct bpf_prog **which;
if (cmd == PPPIOCSPASS)
which = &ppp->pass_filter;
else
which = &ppp->active_filter;
ppp_lock(ppp);
if (*which)
bpf_prog_destroy(*which);
*which = filter;
ppp_unlock(ppp);
err = 0;
}
break;
}
in native and similar in compat, with get_bpf_ppp() replaced
with call of compat_get_bpf_ppp() and ioctl numbers obviously
adjusted. All there is to it... Helpers obviously shared
with isdn and yes, all crap gone from fs/compat_ioctl.c...

Why would you want to duplicate large chunks of anything?
The above is not even compile-tested, but... I can put
together a patch if you wish. Or am I missing something
here?
