2009-11-05x86: Make sure get_user_desc() doesn't sign extend.Chris Lalancette
The current implementation of get_user_desc() sign extends the return value because of integer promotion rules. For the most part, this doesn't matter, because the top bit of base2 is usually 0. If, however, that bit is 1, then the entire value will be 0xffff... which is probably not what the caller intended. This patch casts the entire thing to unsigned before returning, which generates almost the same assembly as the current code but replaces the final "cltq" (sign extend) with a "mov %eax %eax" (zero-extend). This fixes booting certain guests under KVM. Signed-off-by: Chris Lalancette <clalance@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2009-07-19x86: Introduce set_desc_base() and set_desc_limit()Akinobu Mita
Rename set_base()/set_limit to set_desc_base()/set_desc_limit() and rewrite them in C. These are naturally introduced by the idea of get_desc_base()/get_desc_limit(). The conversion actually found the bug in apm_32.c: bad_bios_desc is written at run-time, but it is defined const variable.

2009-06-17x86: de-assembler-ize asm/desc.hAlexander van Heukelum
asm/desc.h is included in three assembly files, but the only macro it defines, GET_DESC_BASE, is never used. This patch removes the includes, removes the macro GET_DESC_BASE and the ASSEMBLY guard from asm/desc.h. Signed-off-by: Alexander van Heukelum <heukelum@fastmail.fm> Signed-off-by: H.

2009-04-21FRV: Fix the section attribute on UP DECLARE_PER_CPU()David Howells
In non-SMP mode, the variable section attribute specified by DECLARE_PER_CPU() does not agree with that specified by DEFINE_PER_CPU(). This means that architectures that have a small data section references relative to a base register may throw up linkage errors due to too great a displacement between where the base register points and the per-CPU variable. On FRV, the .h declaration says that the variable is in the .sdata section, but the .c definition says it's actually in the .data section. The linker throws up the following errors: kernel/built-in.o: In function `release_task': kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o To fix this, DECLARE_PER_CPU() should simply apply the same section attribute as does DEFINE_PER_CPU(). However, this is made slightly more complex by virtue of the fact that there are several variants on DEFINE, so these need to be matched by variants on DECLARE.

2008-12-23x86: fix lguest used_vectors breakage, -v2Yinghai Lu
Impact: fix lguest, clean up 32-bit lguest used used_vectors to record vectors, but that model of allocating vectors changed and got broken, after we changed vector allocation to a per_cpu array. Try enable that for 64bit, and the array is used for all vectors that are not managed by vector_irq per_cpu array. Also kill system_vectors[], that is now a duplication of the used_vectors bitmap.

2008-10-22x86: Fix ASM_X86__ header guardsH. Peter Anvin
Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since: a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless. b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
