linux/fs/compat.c: In function compat_sys_pselect7
linux/fs/compat.c:1869: warning: ignoring return value of copy_to_user, declared with attribute warn_unused_result
To make it easier to handle I changed to semantics to not try to
write out a timespec if an error occurred. I hope that's ok.

- Don't zero for __copy_from_user_inatomic following i386.
This will prevent spurious zeros for parallel file system writers when
one does a exception
- The string instruction version didn't zero the output on
exception. Oops.
Also I cleaned up the code a bit while I was at it and added a minor
optimization to the string instruction path.

We allow for the fact that the guest kernel may not run in ring 0. This
requires some abstraction in a few places when setting %cs or checking
privilege level (user vs kernel).
This is Chris' [RFC PATCH 15/33] move segment checks to subarch, except rather
than using #define USER_MODE_MASK which depends on a config option, we use
Zach's more flexible approach of assuming ring 3 == userspace. I also used
"get_kernel_rpl()" over "get_kernel_cs()" because I think it reads better in
the code...
1) Remove the hardcoded 3 and introduce #define SEGMENT_RPL_MASK 3 2) Add a
get_kernel_rpl() macro, and don't assume it's zero.
And:
Clean up of patch for letting kernel run other than ring 0:
a. Add some comments about the SEGMENT_IS_*_CODE() macros.
b. Add a USER_RPL macro. (Code was comparing a value to a mask
in some places and to the magic number 3 in other places.)
c. Add macros for table indicator field and use them.
d. Change the entry.S tests for LDT stack segment to use the macros

Abstract sensitive instructions in assembler code, replacing them with macros
(which currently are #defined to the native versions). We use long names:
assembler is case-insensitive, so if something goes wrong and macros do not
expand, it would assemble anyway.

Add a feature check that checks that the gcc compiler has stack-protector
support and has the bugfix for PR28281 to make this work in kernel mode.
The easiest solution I could find was to have a shell script in scripts/

without making the makefile too complex.

GCC emits a call to a __stack_chk_fail() function when the stack canary is

kexec: Avoid overwriting the current pgd (V4, i386)
This patch upgrades the i386-specific kexec code to avoid overwriting the
current pgd. Overwriting the current pgd is bad when CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is used
to start a secondary kernel that dumps the memory of the previous kernel.
The code introduces a new set of page tables. These tables are used to provide
an executable identity mapping without overwriting the current pgd.

Based on a idea by Jeremy Fitzhardinge:
Replace the volatiles and memory clobbers in the PDA access with
telling gcc about access to a proxy PDA structure that doesn't
actually exist. But the dummy accesses give a defined ordering for
read/write accesses.
Also add some memory barriers to the early GS initialization to
make sure no PDA access is moved before it.
Advantage is some .text savings (probably most from better
code for accessing "current"):
text data bss dec hex filename
4845647 1223688 615864 6685199 66020f vmlinux

This patch updates x86_64 linker script to pack any .note.* sections
into a PT_NOTE segment in the output file.
To do this, we tell ld that we need a PT_NOTE segment. This requires
us to start explicitly mapping sections to segments, so we also need
to explicitly create PT_LOAD segments for text and data, and map the
sections to them appropriately. Fortunately, each section will
default to its previous section's segment, so it doesn't take many
changes to vmlinux.lds.S.
The corresponding change is already made for i386 in -mm and I'd like
this patch to join it. The section to segment mappings do change as do
the segment flags so some time in -mm would be good for that reason as
well, just in case.
In particular .data and .bss move from the text segment to the data
segment and .data.cacheline_aligned .data.read_mostly are put in the
data segment instead of a separate one.
I think that it would be possible to exactly match the existing section
to segment mapping and flags but it would be a more intrusive change and
I'm not sure there is a reason for the existing layout other than it is
what you get by default if you don't explicitly specify something else.
If there is a reason for the existing layout then I will of course make
the more intrusive change. If there is no reason we could probably drop
the executable or writable flags from some segments but I don't know how
much attention is paid to them anyway so it might not be worth the
effort.
The vsyscall related sections need to go in a different segment to the
normal data segment and so I invented a "user" segment to contain them.
I believe this should appear to be another data segment as far as the
kernel is concerned so the flags are setup accordingly.
The notes will be used in the Xen paravirt_ops backend to provide
additional information to the domain builder. I am in the process of
converting the xen-unstable kernels and tools over to this scheme at the
moment to support this in the future.
It has been suggested to me that the notes segment should have flags 0
(i.e. not readable) since it is only used by the loader and is not used
at runtime. For now I went with a readable segment since that is what
the i386 patch uses.
AK: dropped NOTES addition right now because the needed infrastructure
for that is not merged yet

In long mode the %cs is largely a relic. However there are a few cases
like iret where it matters that we have a valid value. Without this
patch it is possible to enter the kernel in startup_64 without setting
%cs to a valid value. With this patch we don't care what %cs value
we enter the kernel with, so long as the cs shadow register indicates
it is a privileged code segment.
Thanks to Magnus Damm for finding this problem and posting the
first workable patch. I have moved the jump to set %cs down a
few instructions so we don't need to take an extra jump. Which
keeps the code simpler.

Optimizes the 64-bit hamming weight for x86_64 processors assuming they

When compiling a 64-bit kernel on an Ubuntu 6.06 32bit system (whose GCC is also
a cross-compiler for x86_64) I've seen that head.o is compiled as a 64-bit file
(while it should not) and ld complaining about this during linking:
[AK: it happens on all systems with new binutils]
ld: warning: i386:x86-64 architecture of input file
`arch/x86_64/boot/compressed/head.o' is incompatible with i386 output
I've verified that removing -m64 from compilation flags to turn
"-m64 -traditional -m32" into "-traditional -m32" fixes the issue.

ACPI went to great trouble to get the APIC version and CPU capabilities

And replace all users with ordinary smp_processor_id. The function
was originally added to get some basic oops information out even
if the GS register was corrupted. However that didn't
work for some anymore because printk is needed to print the oops
and it uses smp_processor_id() already. Also GS register corruptions
are not particularly common anymore.
This also helps the Xen port which would otherwise need to
do this in a special way because it can't access the local APIC.

From i386 x86-64 inherited code to force reserve the 640k-1MB area.
That was needed on some old systems.
But we generally trust the e820 map to be correct on 64bit systems
and mark all areas that are not memory correctly.
This patch will allow to use the real memory in there.
Or rather the only way to find out if it's still needed is to
try. So far I'm optimistic.
