2008-01-30x86: introduce native_read_tscpGlauber de Oliveira Costa1-2/+2
Targetting paravirt, this patch introduces native_read_tscp, in place of rdtscp() macro. When in a paravirt guest, this will involve a function call, and thus, cannot be done in the vdso area. These users then have to call the native version directly Signed-off-by: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2008-01-30x86: use generic register name in the thread and tss structuresH. Peter Anvin1-2/+2
This changes size-specific register names (eip/rip, esp/rsp, etc.) to generic names in the thread and tss structures. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2008-01-30x86: use generic register names in struct sigcontextH. Peter Anvin1-27/+27
Switch struct sigcontext (defined in <asm/sigcontext*.h>) to using register names withut e- or r-prefixes for both 32- and 64-bit x86. This is intended as a preliminary step in unifying this code between architectures. Signed-off-by: H.

2008-01-30x86 vDSO: canonicalize sysenter .eh_frameRoland McGrath3-14/+8
Some assembler versions automagically optimize .eh_frame contents, changing their size. The CFI in sysenter.S was not using optimal formatting, so it would be changed by newer/smarter assemblers. This ran afoul of the wired constant for padding out the other vDSO images to match its size. This changes the original hand-coded source to use the optimal format encoding for its operations. That leaves nothing more for a fancy assembler to do, so the sizes will match the wired-in expected size regardless of the assembler version.

2008-01-30x86 vDSO: makefile cleanupRoland McGrath1-15/+4
This cleans up the arch/x86/vdso/Makefile rules for vdso.so to share more code with the vdso32-*.so rules and remove old cruft.

2008-01-30x86 vDSO: reorder vdso32 codeRoland McGrath4-37/+47
This reorders the code in the 32-bit vDSO images to put the signal trampolines first and __kernel_vsyscall after them. The order does not matter to userland, it just uses what AT_SYSINFO or e_entry says. Since the signal trampolines are the same size in both versions of the vDSO, putting them first is the simplest way to get the addresses to line up. This makes it work to use a more compact layout for the vDSO.

2008-01-30x86 vDSO: consolidate vdso32Roland McGrath3-33/+104
This makes x86_64's ia32 emulation support share the sources used in the 32-bit kernel for the 32-bit vDSO and much of its setup code. The 32-bit vDSO mapping now behaves the same on x86_64 as on native 32-bit. The abi.syscall32 sysctl on x86_64 now takes the same values that vm.vdso_enabled takes on the 32-bit kernel. That is, 1 means a randomized vDSO location, 2 means the fixed old address. The CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO option is now available to make this the default setting, the same meaning it has for the 32-bit kernel. (This does not affect the 64-bit vDSO.) The argument vdso32=[012] can be used on both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels to set this paramter at boot time. The vdso=[012] argument still does this same thing on the 32-bit kernel.

2008-01-30x86 vDSO: ia32 vdso32-syscall buildRoland McGrath3-3/+76
This puts the syscall version of the 32-bit vDSO in arch/x86/vdso/vdso32/ for 64-bit IA32 support. This is not used yet, but it paves the way for consolidating the 32-bit vDSO source and build logic all in one place.

2008-01-30x86 vDSO: vdso32 setupRoland McGrath2-1/+345
This moves arch/x86/kernel/sysenter_32.c to arch/x86/vdso/vdso32-setup.c, keeping all the code relating only to vDSO magic in the vdso/ subdirectory. This is a pure renaming, but it paves the way to consolidating the code for dealing with 32-bit vDSOs across CONFIG_X86_32 and CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION.

2008-01-30x86 vDSO: vdso32 buildRoland McGrath2-3/+112
This builds the 32-bit vDSO images in the arch/x86/vdso subdirectory. Nothing uses the images yet, but this paves the way for consolidating the vDSO build logic all in one place. The new images use a linker script sharing the layout parts from vdso-layout.lds.S with the 64-bit vDSO. A new vdso32-syms.lds is generated in the style of vdso-syms.lds.

2008-01-30x86 vDSO: new layoutRoland McGrath3-78/+89
This revamps the vDSO linker script to lay things out with the best packing of the data and good, separate alignment of the code. The rigid layout using VDSO_TEXT_OFFSET no longer matters to the kernel. I've moved the layout parts of the linker script into a new include file, vdso-layout.lds.S; this is in preparation for sharing the script for the 32-bit vDSO builds too.

2008-01-30x86 vDSO: use vdso-syms.ldsRoland McGrath3-15/+8
This patch changes the kernel's references to addresses in the vDSO image to be based on the symbols defined by vdso-syms.lds instead of the old vdso-syms.o symbols. This is all wrapped up in a macro defined by the new asm-x86/vdso.h header; that's the only place in the kernel source that has to know the details of the scheme for getting vDSO symbol values.

2008-01-30x86 vDSO: generate vdso-syms.ldsRoland McGrath2-0/+24
This patch adds a new way of extracting symbols from the built vDSO image. This is much simpler and less fragile than using ld -R; it removes the need to control the DSO layout quite so exactly. I was clearly unduly distracted by clever ld uses when I did the original vDSO implementation.

2007-11-17x86: ignore the sys_getcpu() tcache parameterIngo Molnar1-17/+2
dont use the vgetcpu tcache - it's causing problems with tasks migrating, they'll see the old cache up to a jiffy after the migration, further increasing the costs of the migration. In the worst case they see a complete bogus information from the tcache, when a sys_getcpu() call "invalidated" the cache info by incrementing the jiffies _and_ the cpuid info in the cache and the following vdso_getcpu() call happens after vdso_jiffies have been incremented.

2007-10-17x86: vdso linker script cleanupRoland McGrath1-7/+9
I can't see the reason ". = VDSO_PRELINK + 0x900;" was ever there in the linker script for the x86_64 vDSO. I can't find anything that depends on this magic offset, or that should care at all about the particular location of of the .data section (all from vvar.c) in the vDSO image. If it is really desireable to place .data at 0x900, then it should be after all the other sections so they fill in the space up to 0x900. This removes the 0x900 magic and cleans up the output sections generally in the vDSO linker script. This saves a few hundred bytes in the size of the vDSO file, bringing it back well under 4kb total so that its vma only needs one page.

2007-10-17x86: vdso put vars in rodataRoland McGrath1-1/+1
This adds a const to the definitions vvar.c makes, so that the vdso_* variables go into .rodata instead of .data. This is essentially a cosmetic change, just giving the section headers in the vDSO file more pleasing flags. These variables are read-only from the perspective of the vDSO itself and user mode, even though the contents of the DSO image were adjusted at boot.

2007-10-17x86: Install unstripped copy of 64bit vdso to diskRoland McGrath1-1/+16
This keeps an unstripped copy of the 64bit vDSO images built before they are stripped and embedded in the kernel. The unstripped copies get installed in $(MODLIB)/vdso/ by "make install" (or you can explicitly use the subtarget "make vdso_install"). These files can be useful when they contain source-level debugging information.

2007-10-14kbuild: enable 'make CFLAGS=...' to add additional options to CCSam Ravnborg1-2/+2
The variable CFLAGS is a wellknown variable and the usage by kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour. On top of that several people over time has asked for a way to pass in additional flags to gcc. This patch replace use of CFLAGS with KBUILD_CFLAGS all over the tree and enabling one to use: make CFLAGS=... to specify additional gcc commandline options. One usecase is when trying to find gcc bugs but other use cases has been requested too. Patch was tested on following architectures: alpha, arm, i386, x86_64, mips, sparc, sparc64, ia64, m68k Test was simple to do a defconfig build, apply the patch and check that nothing got rebuild.
