2008-04-17x86 vDSO: don't use disabled vDSO for signal trampolineRoland McGrath
If the vDSO was not mapped, don't use it as the "restorer" for a signal handler. Whether we have a pointer in mm->context.vdso depends on what happened at exec time, so we shouldn't check any global flags now. Background: Currently, every 32-bit exec gets the vDSO mapped even if it's disabled (the process just doesn't get told about it). Because it's in fact always there, the bug that this patch fixes cannot happen now. With the second patch, it won't be mapped at all when it's disabled, which is one of the things that people might really want when they disable it (so nothing they didn't ask for goes into their address space). The 32-bit signal handler setup when SA_RESTORER is not used refers to current->mm->context.vdso without regard to whether the vDSO has been disabled when the process was exec'd. This patch fixes this not to use it when it's null, which becomes possible after the second patch. (This never happens in normal use, because glibc's sigaction call uses SA_RESTORER unless glibc detected the vDSO.)

2008-03-07x86: clear DF before calling signal handlerAurelien Jarno
The Linux kernel currently does not clear the direction flag before calling a signal handler, whereas the x86/x86-64 ABI requires that. Linux had this behavior/bug forever, but this becomes a real problem with gcc version 4.3, which assumes that the direction flag is correctly cleared at the entry of a function. This patches changes the setup_frame() functions to clear the direction before entering the signal handler.

2008-01-30x86: x86 i387 user_regsetRoland McGrath
This revamps the i387 code to be shared across 32-bit, 64-bit, and 32-on-64. It does so by consolidating the code in one place based on the user_regset accessor interfaces. This switches 32-bit to using the i387_64.h header and 64-bit to using the i387.c that was previously i387_32.c, but that's what took the least cleanup in each file. Here i387.h is stubbed to always include i387_64.h rather than renaming the file, to keep this diff smaller and easier to read.

2008-01-30x86: get rid of _MASK flagsGlauber de Oliveira Costa
There's no need for the *_MASK flags (TF_MASK, IF_MASK, etc), found in processor.h (both _32 and _64). They have a one-to-one mapping with the EFLAGS value. This patch removes the definitions, and use the already existent X86_EFLAGS_ version when applicable.

2008-01-30x86: use generic register names in struct sigcontextH. Peter Anvin
Switch struct sigcontext (defined in <asm/sigcontext*.h>) to using register names withut e- or r-prefixes for both 32- and 64-bit x86. This is intended as a preliminary step in unifying this code between architectures. Signed-off-by: H.

2008-01-30x86: rename the struct pt_regs members for 32/64-bit consistencyH. Peter Anvin
We have a lot of code which differs only by the naming of specific members of structures that contain registers. In order to enable additional unifications, this patch drops the e- or r- size prefix from the register names in struct pt_regs, and drops the x- prefixes for segment registers on the 32-bit side. This patch also performs the equivalent renames in some additional places that might be candidates for unification in the future. Signed-off-by: H.

2008-01-30x86 vDSO: consolidate vdso32Roland McGrath
This makes x86_64's ia32 emulation support share the sources used in the 32-bit kernel for the 32-bit vDSO and much of its setup code. The 32-bit vDSO mapping now behaves the same on x86_64 as on native 32-bit. The abi.syscall32 sysctl on x86_64 now takes the same values that vm.vdso_enabled takes on the 32-bit kernel. That is, 1 means a randomized vDSO location, 2 means the fixed old address. The CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO option is now available to make this the default setting, the same meaning it has for the 32-bit kernel. (This does not affect the 64-bit vDSO.) The argument vdso32=[012] can be used on both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels to set this paramter at boot time. The vdso=[012] argument still does this same thing on the 32-bit kernel.
