      x86: delete __cpuinit usage from all x86 files · 148f9bb8
      Paul Gortmaker 提交于
      The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
      some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
      do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
      commit 5e427ec2 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
      is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
      with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
      
      After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
      the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
      we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
      
      Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
      notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
      are flagged as __cpuinit  -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
      arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
      As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
      content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
      of these warnings.  In any case, they are temporary and harmless.
      
      This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from
      all C files.  x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files,
      and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can
      delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.

      x86, mm: Report state of NX protections during boot · 4b0f3b81
      Kees Cook 提交于
      It is possible for x86_64 systems to lack the NX bit either due to the
      hardware lacking support or the BIOS having turned off the CPU capability,
      so NX status should be reported.  Additionally, anyone booting NX-capable
      CPUs in 32bit mode without PAE will lack NX functionality, so this change
      provides feedback for that case as well.

      x86, mm: Clean up and simplify NX enablement · 4763ed4d
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      The 32- and 64-bit code used very different mechanisms for enabling
      NX, but even the 32-bit code was enabling NX in head_32.S if it is
      available.  Furthermore, we had a bewildering collection of tests for
      the available of NX.
      
      This patch:
      
      a) merges the 32-bit set_nx() and the 64-bit check_efer() function
         into a single x86_configure_nx() function.  EFER control is left
         to the head code.
      
      b) eliminates the nx_enabled variable entirely.  Things that need to
         test for NX enablement can verify __supported_pte_mask directly,
         and cpu_has_nx gives the supported status of NX.
