      x86: get rid of the insane TIF_ABI_PENDING bit · 05d43ed8
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      Now that the previous commit made it possible to do the personality
      setting at the point of no return, we do just that for ELF binaries.
      And suddenly all the reasons for that insane TIF_ABI_PENDING bit go
      away, and we can just make SET_PERSONALITY() just do the obvious thing
      for a 32-bit compat process.
      
      Everything becomes much more straightforward this way.

      Split 'flush_old_exec' into two functions · 221af7f8
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      'flush_old_exec()' is the point of no return when doing an execve(), and
      it is pretty badly misnamed.  It doesn't just flush the old executable
      environment, it also starts up the new one.
      
      Which is very inconvenient for things like setting up the new
      personality, because we want the new personality to affect the starting
      of the new environment, but at the same time we do _not_ want the new
      personality to take effect if flushing the old one fails.
      
      As a result, the x86-64 '32-bit' personality is actually done using this
      insane "I'm going to change the ABI, but I haven't done it yet" bit
      (TIF_ABI_PENDING), with SET_PERSONALITY() not actually setting the
      personality, but just the "pending" bit, so that "flush_thread()" can do
      the actual personality magic.
      
      This patch in no way changes any of that insanity, but it does split the
      'flush_old_exec()' function up into a preparatory part that can fail
      (still called flush_old_exec()), and a new part that will actually set
      up the new exec environment (setup_new_exec()).  All callers are changed
      to trivially comply with the new world order.

      x86: Remove "x86 CPU features in debugfs" (CONFIG_X86_CPU_DEBUG) · b1600918
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      CONFIG_X86_CPU_DEBUG, which provides some parsed versions of the x86
      CPU configuration via debugfs, has caused boot failures on real
      hardware.  The value of this feature has been marginal at best, as all
      this information is already available to userspace via generic
      interfaces.
      
      Causes crashes that have not been fixed + minimal utility -> remove.

      x86: xen: 64-bit kernel RPL should be 0 · e68266b7
      Ian Campbell 提交于
      Under Xen 64 bit guests actually run their kernel in ring 3,
      however the hypervisor takes care of squashing descriptor the
      RPLs transparently (in order to allow them to continue to
      differentiate between user and kernel space CS using the RPL).
      Therefore the Xen paravirt backend should use RPL==0 instead of
      1 (or 3). Using RPL==1 causes generic arch code to take
      incorrect code paths because it uses "testl $3, <CS>, je foo"
      type tests for a userspace CS and this considers 1==userspace.
      
      This issue was previously masked because get_kernel_rpl() was
      omitted when setting CS in kernel_thread(). This was fixed when
      kernel_thread() was unified with 32 bit in
      f443ff42.

      Cyrill Gorcunov 提交于
      Before the kernel_thread was converted into "C" we had

      Though I must admit I didn't find any *explicit* load of

      and set it to a known value.

      x86/agp: Fix agp_amd64_init and agp_amd64_cleanup · 42590a75
      FUJITA Tomonori 提交于
      This fixes the regression introduced by the commit
      f405d2c0.
      
      The above commit fixes the following issue:
      
        http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=126192729110083&w=2
      
      However, it doesn't work properly when you remove and insert the
      agp_amd64 module again.
      
      agp_amd64_init() and agp_amd64_cleanup should be called only
      when gart_iommu is not called earlier (that is, the GART IOMMU
      is not enabled). We need to use 'gart_iommu_aperture' to see if
      GART IOMMU is enabled or not.

      perf: Stop stack frame walking off kernel addresses boundaries · c2c5d45d

      While processing kernel perf callchains, an bad entry can be

      In this case, we hang in an endless loop. This can happen in an
      x86-32 kernel after processing the last entry in a kernel
      stacktrace.
      
      Just stop the stack frame walking after we encounter an invalid

      x86, irq: Check move_in_progress before freeing the vector mapping · 7f41c2e1
      Suresh Siddha 提交于
      With the recent irq migration fixes (post 2.6.32), Gary Hade has noticed
      "No IRQ handler for vector" messages during the 2.6.33-rc1 kernel boot on IBM
      AMD platforms and root caused the issue to this commit:
      
      > commit 23359a88
      > Author: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com>

      >    x86: Remove move_cleanup_count from irq_cfg
      
      As part of this patch, we have removed the move_cleanup_count check
      in smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt(). With this change, we can run into a
      situation where an irq cleanup interrupt on a cpu can cleanup the vector
      mappings associated with multiple irqs, of which one of the irq's migration
      might be still in progress. As such when that irq hits the old cpu, we get
      the "No IRQ handler" messages.
      
      Fix this by checking for the irq_cfg's move_in_progress and if the move
      is still in progress delay the vector cleanup to another irq cleanup
      interrupt request (which will happen when the irq starts arriving at the
      new cpu destination).
