main executable of (specially compiled/linked -pie/-fpie) ET_DYN binaries onto a random address (in cases in which mmap() is allowed to perform a randomization). The code has been extraced from Ingo's exec-shield patch http://people.redhat.com/mingo/exec-shield/ [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix used-uninitialsied warning] [kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com: fixed ia32 ELF on x86_64 handling] Signed-off-by:

Remove definitions of FASTCALL/fastcall from linkage_32 as compiled with -regparm=3 by default since 2.6.20 and should no longer be needed. CONFIG X86_64 and CONFIG_X86_ALIGNMENT_16 are mutually exclusive as found in Kconfig.cpu so it should be fine to test them separately. Signed-off-by:

This patches proceeds with the integration of msr.h, making the code unified, instead of having a version for each architecture. We stick with the native_* functions, and then paravirt comes for free. Signed-off-by:

This patch uses the _ASM_ALIGN and _ASM_PTR macros to make the fixups in native_read/write_msr_safe look the same for x86_64 and i386. Besides using this macros, we also have to take the explicit instruction suffixes out. It's okay because all this instructions uses registers, and can be sized by them. Signed-off-by:

This patche changes the native_write_msr() and friends interface to explicitly take 2 32-bit registers instead of a 64-bit value. The change will ease the merge with 64-bit code. As the 64-bit value will be passed as two registers anyway in i386, the PVOP_CALL interface has to account for that and use low/high parameters It would force the x86_64 version to be different. The change does not make i386 generated code less efficient. As said above, it would get the values from two registers anyway. Signed-off-by:

the rdpmc instruction gets a counter argument in rcx. However, the i386 version was ignoring it. To make both x86_64 and i386 versions the same, as well as to comply with the instruction semantics, this parameter is added in the i386 version Signed-off-by:

Targetting paravirt, this patch introduces native_read_tscp, in place of rdtscp() macro. When in a paravirt guest, this will involve a function call, and thus, cannot be done in the vdso area. These users then have to call the native version directly Signed-off-by:

cpuid is not very different between i386 and x86_64. We move away the x86_64 version from msr.h, and unify them at processor.h, where they belong. cpuid() paravirt then comes for free. Signed-off-by:

This patch splits get_cycles_sync() into __get_cycles_sync(), and the rdtscll part. Paravirt guests cannot issue rdtscl directly, as it involves a function call in vdso area. So, using the __get_cycles_sync() base, we introduce vget_cycles_sync, which then calls the native version of rdtscll. Ideally, however, a guest should define its own clocksource, together with a vread function Signed-off-by:

This patch turns the sched_clock into native_sched_clock. sched clock becomes a weak symbol, which can then give its place to a paravirt definition. Signed-off-by:

Among other things, using -traditional as a gcc option stops us from using macro token pasting, which is a feature we heavily rely on. There was still a use of -traditional in arch/x86/kernel/Makefile_64, which this patch removes. I don't see any problems building kernels in my x86_64 box without -traditional. Signed-off-by:

commit c434b7a6 (x86: avoid wasting IRQs for PCI devices) created a concept of "IRQ compression" on i386 to conserve IRQ numbers on systems with many sparsely populated IO APICs. The same scheme was also added to x86_64, but later removed when x86_64 recieved an IRQ over-haul that made it unnecessary -- including per-CPU IRQ vectors that greatly increased the IRQ capacity on the machine. i386 has not received the analogous over-haul, and thus a previous attempt to delete IRQ compression from i386 was rejected on the theory that there may exist machines that actually need it. The fact is that the author of IRQ compression patch was unable to confirm the actual existence of such a system. As a result, all i386 kernels with IOAPIC support pay the following: 1. confusion IRQ compression re-names the traditional IOAPIC pin numbers (aka ACPI GSI's) into sequential IRQ #s: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1c.0[A] -> GSI 20 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1c.1[B] -> GSI 21 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1c.2[C] -> GSI 22 (level, low) -> IRQ 18 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1c.3[D] -> GSI 23 (level, low) -> IRQ 19 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1c.4[A] -> GSI 20 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 This makes /proc/interrupts look different depending on system configuration and device probe order. It is also different than the x86_64 kernel running on the exact same system. As a result, programmers get confused when comparing systems. 2. complexity The IRQ code in Linux is already overly complex, and IRQ compression makes it worse. There have already been two bug workarounds related to IRQ compression -- the IRQ0 timer workaround and the VIA PCI IRQ workaround. 3. size All i386 kernels with IOAPIC support contain an int[4096] -- a 4 page array to contain the renamed IRQs. So while the irq compression code on i386 should really be deleted -- even before merging the x86_64 irq-overhaul, this patch simply disables it on all high volume systems to avoid problems #1 and #2 on most all i386 systems. A large system with pin numbers >=64 will still have compression to conserve limited IRQ numbers for sparse IOAPICS. However, the vast majority of the planet, those with only pin numbers < 64 will use an identity GSI -> IRQ mapping. Signed-off-by:

This reimplements the 64-bit IA32-emulation register access functions in arch/x86/kernel/ptrace.c, where they can share some guts with the native access functions directly.
