2011-02-17x86: Use bitmap library functionsAkinobu Mita1-15/+5
Use bitmap_set()/bitmap_clear() to fill/zero a region of a bitmap instead of doing set_bit()/clear_bit() each bit. This change has been tested with ioperm() and there's no change in behavior.

2009-12-09x86-64, paravirt: Call set_iopl_mask() on 64 bitsH. Peter Anvin1-2/+0
set_iopl_mask() is a no-op on 64 bits, but it is also a paravirt hook, so call it even on 64 bits. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Cc: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Cc: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> LKML-Reference: <1260403316-5679-3-git-send-email-brgerst@gmail.com>

2009-03-02x86-32: use non-lazy io bitmap context switchingJeremy Fitzhardinge1-11/+0
Impact: remove 32-bit optimization to prepare unification x86-32 and -64 differ in the way they context-switch tasks with io permission bitmaps. x86-64 simply copies the next tasks io bitmap into place (if any) on context switch. x86-32 invalidates the bitmap on context switch, so that the next IO instruction will fault; at that point it installs the appropriate IO bitmap. This makes context switching IO-bitmap-using tasks a bit more less expensive, at the cost of making the next IO instruction slower due to the extra fault. This tradeoff only makes sense if IO-bitmap-using processes are relatively common, but they don't actually use IO instructions very often. However, in a typical desktop system, the only process likely to be using IO bitmaps is the X server, and nothing at all on a server. Therefore the lazy context switch doesn't really win all that much, and its just a gratuitious difference from 64-bit code. This patch removes the lazy context switch, with a view to unifying this code in a later change.

2009-02-11x86: use regparm(3) for passed-in pt_regs pointerBrian Gerst1-1/+2
Some syscalls need to access the pt_regs structure, either to copy user register state or to modifiy it. This patch adds stubs to load the address of the pt_regs struct into the %eax register, and changes the syscalls to take the pointer as an argument instead of relying on the assumption that the pt_regs structure overlaps the function arguments. Drop the use of regparm(1) due to concern about gcc bugs, and to move in the direction of the eventual removal of regparm(0) for asmlinkage.

2009-02-11x86: pass in pt_regs pointer for syscalls that need itBrian Gerst1-3/+1
Some syscalls need to access the pt_regs structure, either to copy user register state or to modifiy it. This patch adds stubs to load the address of the pt_regs struct into the %eax register, and changes the syscalls to regparm(1) to receive the pt_regs pointer as the first argument.

2008-01-30x86: fix ioport unification on 32-bitChris Wright1-2/+4
ioport unification was broken for 32-bit; it was missing the acutal pushf/popf EFLAGS manipulation (set_iopl_mask()). Also, use of volatile looks like leftover cruft.
