X86: drivers: remove __dev* attributes.

2013-01-03T23:57:04+00:00

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitconst,
and __devexit from these drivers.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

Pull "Nuke 386-DX/SX support" from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree removes ancient-386-CPUs support and thus zaps quite a bit
  of complexity:

    24 files changed, 56 insertions(+), 425 deletions(-)

  ... which complexity has plagued us with extra work whenever we wanted
  to change SMP primitives, for years.

  Unfortunately there's a nostalgic cost: your old original 386 DX33
  system from early 1991 won't be able to boot modern Linux kernels
  anymore.  Sniff."

I'm not sentimental.  Good riddance.

x86/asm: Clean up copy_page_*() comments and code

2012-10-24T10:42:47+00:00

Modern CPUs use fast-string instruction to accelerate copy
performance, by combining data into 128 bit chunks.

Modify comments and coding style to match it.

UAPI: x86: Fix insn_sanity build failure after UAPI split

2012-10-02T17:01:56+00:00

Fix a build failure in the x86 insn_sanity program after the UAPI split.  The
problem is that insn_sanity.c #includes arch/x86/lib/insn.c - which uses the
kernel string header.  This leads to conflicts for various definitions against
the /usr/include/ headers.

linux/string.h can be replaced with the normal userspace string.h if __KERNEL__
is not specified.

x86, smap: Add STAC and CLAC instructions to control user space access

2012-09-21T19:45:27+00:00

When Supervisor Mode Access Prevention (SMAP) is enabled, access to
userspace from the kernel is controlled by the AC flag.  To make the
performance of manipulating that flag acceptable, there are two new
instructions, STAC and CLAC, to set and clear it.

This patch adds those instructions, via alternative(), when the SMAP
feature is enabled.  It also adds X86_EFLAGS_AC unconditionally to the
SYSCALL entry mask; there is simply no reason to make that one
conditional.
