The current lock prefix UP/SMP alternative code doesn't allow LOCK_PREFIX to be used in alternatives code. This patch solves the problem by adding a new LOCK_PREFIX_ALTERNATIVE_PATCH macro that only records the lock prefix location but does not emit the prefix. The user of this macro can then start any alternative sequence with "lock" and have it UP/SMP patched. To make this work, the UP/SMP alternative code is changed to do the lock/DS prefix switching only if the byte actually contains a lock or DS prefix. Thus, if an alternative without the "lock" is selected, it will now do nothing instead of clobbering the code. Changes in v2: - Naming change - Change label to not conflict with alternatives Signed-off-by: NLuca Barbieri <luca@luca-barbieri.com> LKML-Reference: <1267005265-27958-2-git-send-email-luca@luca-barbieri.com> Signed-off-by: NH.

In order to avoid unnecessary chains of branches, rather than implementing copy_user_generic() as a function consisting of just a single (possibly patched) branch, instead properly deal with patching call instructions in the alternative instructions framework, and move the patching into the callers. As a follow-on, one could also introduce something like __EXPORT_SYMBOL_ALT() to avoid patching call sites in modules.

Having run into the run-(boot-)time check a couple of times lately, I finally took time to find a build-time check so that one doesn't need to analyze the register/stack dump and resolve this (through manual lookup in vmlinux) to the offending construct. The assembler will emit a message like "Error: value of <num> too large for field of 1 bytes at <offset>", which while not pointing out the source location still makes analysis quite a bit easier.

Some of the NOPs tables aren't used on 64-bits, quite some code and data is needed post-init for module loading only, and a couple of functions aren't used outside that file (i.e. can be static, and don't need to be exported). The change to __INITDATA/__INITRODATA is needed to avoid an assembler warning.

Alternative header duplicates assembly that could be merged in one single macro. Merging this into this macro also allows to directly declare ALTERNATIVE() statements within assembly code. Uses a __stringify() of the feature bits rather than passing a "i" operand. Leave the old %0 operand as-is (set to 0), unused to stay compatible with API.

Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since: a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless. b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints. Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

This patch is the result of an automatic script that consolidates the format of all the headers in include/asm-x86/. The format: 1. No leading underscore. Names with leading underscores are reserved. 2. Pathname components are separated by two underscores. So we can distinguish between mm_types.h and mm/types.h. 3. Everything except letters and numbers are turned into single underscores. Signed-off-by: NVegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com>

Fix a memcpy that should be a text_poke (in apply_alternatives). Use kernel_wp_save/kernel_wp_restore in text_poke to support DEBUG_RODATA correctly and so the CPU HOTPLUG special case can be removed. Add text_poke_early, for alternatives and paravirt boot-time and module load time patching. Changelog: - Fix text_set and text_poke alignment check (mixed up bitwise and and or) - Remove text_set - Export add_nops, so it can be used by others. - Document text_poke_early. - Remove clflush, since it breaks some VIA architectures and is not strictly necessary. - Add kerneldoc to text_poke and text_poke_early. - Create a second vmap instead of using the WP bit to support Xen and VMI. - Move local_irq disable within text_poke and text_poke_early to be able to be sleepable in these functions.
