x86/vdso: Remove unused file

2018-05-05T07:02:36+00:00

commit da861e18eccc ("x86, vdso: Get rid of the fake section mechanism")
left this file behind; nothing is using it anymore.

x86/entry/64/compat: Preserve r8-r11 in int $0x80

2018-04-27T15:07:58+00:00

32-bit user code that uses int $80 doesn't care about r8-r11.  There is,
however, some 64-bit user code that intentionally uses int $0x80 to invoke
32-bit system calls.  From what I've seen, basically all such code assumes
that r8-r15 are all preserved, but the kernel clobbers r8-r11.  Since I
doubt that there's any code that depends on int $0x80 zeroing r8-r11,
change the kernel to preserve them.

I suspect that very little user code is broken by the old clobber, since
r8-r11 are only rarely allocated by gcc, and they're clobbered by function
calls, so they only way we'd see a problem is if the same function that
invokes int $0x80 also spills something important to one of these
registers.

The current behavior seems to date back to the historical commit
"[PATCH] x86-64 merge for 2.6.4".  Before that, all regs were
preserved.  I can't find any explanation of why this change was made.

Update the test_syscall_vdso_32 testcase as well to verify the new
behavior, and it strengthens the test to make sure that the kernel doesn't
accidentally permute r8..r15.

 "A set of fixes and updates for x86:

   - Address a swiotlb regression which was caused by the recent DMA
     rework and made driver fail because dma_direct_supported() returned
     false

   - Fix a signedness bug in the APIC ID validation which caused invalid
     APIC IDs to be detected as valid thereby bloating the CPU possible
     space.

   - Fix inconsisten config dependcy/select magic for the MFD_CS5535
     driver.

   - Fix a corruption of the physical address space bits when encryption
     has reduced the address space and late cpuinfo updates overwrite
     the reduced bit information with the original value.

   - Dominiks syscall rework which consolidates the architecture
     specific syscall functions so all syscalls can be wrapped with the
     same macros. This allows to switch x86/64 to struct pt_regs based
     syscalls. Extend the clearing of user space controlled registers in

x86/entry/64: Drop idtentry's manual stack switch for user entries

2018-04-09T16:23:50+00:00

For non-paranoid entries, idtentry knows how to switch from the
kernel stack to the user stack, as does error_entry.  This results
in pointless duplication and code bloat.  Make idtentry stop
thinking about stacks for non-paranoid entries.

This reduces text size by 5377 bytes.

This goes back to the following commit:

syscalls/core, syscalls/x86: Rename struct pt_regs-based sys_() to __x64_sys_()

2018-04-09T14:47:28+00:00

This rename allows us to have a coherent syscall stub naming convention on
64-bit x86 (0xffffffff prefix removed):

 810f0af0 t            kernel_waitid	# common (32/64) kernel helper

             __do_sys_waitid	# inlined helper doing actual work
 810f0be0 t          __se_sys_waitid	# C func calling inlined helper

      __do_compat_sys_waitid	# inlined helper doing actual work
 810f0d80 t   __se_compat_sys_waitid	# compat C func calling inlined helper

 810f2080 T         __x64_sys_waitid	# x64 64-bit-ptregs -> C stub
 810f20b0 T        __ia32_sys_waitid	# ia32 32-bit-ptregs -> C stub[*]
 810f2470 T __ia32_compat_sys_waitid	# ia32 32-bit-ptregs -> compat C stub
 810f2490 T  __x32_compat_sys_waitid	# x32 64-bit-ptregs -> compat C stub

    [*] This stub is unused, as the syscall table links
	__ia32_compat_sys_waitid instead of __ia32_sys_waitid as we need
	a compat variant here.

syscalls/core, syscalls/x86: Clean up compat syscall stub naming convention

2018-04-09T14:47:28+00:00

Tidy the naming convention for compat syscall subs. Hints which describe
the purpose of the stub go in front and receive a double underscore to
denote that they are generated on-the-fly by the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx()
macro.

For the generic case, this means:

t            kernel_waitid	# common C function (see kernel/exit.c)

    __do_compat_sys_waitid	# inlined helper doing the actual work
				# (takes original parameters as declared)

T   __se_compat_sys_waitid	# sign-extending C function calling inlined
				# helper (takes parameters of type long,
				# casts them to unsigned long and then to
				# the declared type)

T        compat_sys_waitid      # alias to __se_compat_sys_waitid()
				# (taking parameters as declared), to
				# be included in syscall table

For x86, the naming is as follows:

t            kernel_waitid	# common C function (see kernel/exit.c)

    __do_compat_sys_waitid	# inlined helper doing the actual work
				# (takes original parameters as declared)

t   __se_compat_sys_waitid      # sign-extending C function calling inlined
				# helper (takes parameters of type long,
				# casts them to unsigned long and then to
				# the declared type)

T __ia32_compat_sys_waitid	# IA32_EMULATION 32-bit-ptregs -> C stub,
				# calls __se_compat_sys_waitid(); to be
				# included in syscall table

T  __x32_compat_sys_waitid	# x32 64-bit-ptregs -> C stub, calls
				# __se_compat_sys_waitid(); to be included
				# in syscall table

If only one of IA32_EMULATION and x32 is enabled, __se_compat_sys_waitid()
may be inlined into the stub __{ia32,x32}_compat_sys_waitid().

For the generic case, this means (0xffffffff prefix removed):

 810f08d0 t     kernel_waitid	# common C function (see kernel/exit.c)

For x86, the naming is as follows:

 810efc70 t     kernel_waitid	# common C function (see kernel/exit.c)

				# __se_sys_waitid(); to be included in

For x86, sys_waitid() will be re-named to __x64_sys_waitid in a follow-up
patch.
