2008-04-30signals: x86 TS_RESTORE_SIGMASKRoland McGrath
Replace TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK with TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK and define our own set_restore_sigmask() function. This saves the costly SMP-safe set_bit operation, which we do not need for the sigmask flag since TIF_SIGPENDING always has to be set too.

2008-04-26x86 signals: lift set_fsRoland McGrath
This lifts the set_fs(USER_DS) call for signal handler setup out of the three places copying the same code into the one place that calls them all. There is no change in what it does. Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-04-26x86 signals: lift flags diddling codeRoland McGrath
This lifts the code diddling the TF and DF bits for signal handler setup out of the several places copying the same code into the one place that calls them all. There is no change in what it does. I also separated the recently-added DF bit clearing from the TF diddling. The compiler turns them back into one instruction anyway. The tossing in of DF to the same line of code with no new comments was a bit more arcane than seems wise. Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-03-11x86: ia32 syscall restart fixRoland McGrath
The code to restart syscalls after signals depends on checking for a negative orig_ax, and for particular negative -ERESTART* values in ax. These fields are 64 bits and for a 32-bit task they get zero-extended. The syscall restart behavior is lost, a regression from a native 32-bit kernel and from 64-bit tasks' behavior. This patch fixes the problem by doing sign-extension where it matters. For orig_ax, the only time the value should be -1 but winds up as 0x0ffffffff is via a 32-bit ptrace call. So the patch changes ptrace to sign-extend the 32-bit orig_eax value when it's stored; it doesn't change the checks on orig_ax, though it uses the new current_syscall() inline to better document the subtle importance of the used of signedness there. The ax value is stored a lot of ways and it seems hard to get them all sign-extended at their origins. So for that, we use the current_syscall_ret() to sign-extend it only for 32-bit tasks at the time of the -ERESTART* comparisons.

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: print which shared library/executable faulted in segfault etc. messages v3Andi Kleen
They now look like: hal-resmgr[13791]: segfault at 3c rip 2b9c8caec182 rsp 7fff1e825d30 error 4 in libacl.so.1.1.0[2b9c8caea000+6000] This makes it easier to pinpoint bugs to specific libraries. And printing the offset into a mapping also always allows to find the correct fault point in a library even with randomized mappings. Previously there was no way to actually find the correct code address inside the randomized mapping. Relies on earlier patch to shorten the printk formats. They are often now longer than 80 characters, but I think that's worth it.

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 single_step: TIF_FORCED_TFRoland McGrath
This changes the single-step support to use a new thread_info flag TIF_FORCED_TF instead of the PT_DTRACE flag in task_struct.ptrace. This keeps arch implementation uses out of this non-arch field. This changes the ptrace access to eflags to mask TF and maintain the TIF_FORCED_TF flag directly if userland sets TF, instead of relying on ptrace_signal_deliver. The 64-bit and 32-bit kernels are harmonized on this same behavior. The ptrace_signal_deliver approach works now, but this change makes the low-level register access code reliable when called from different contexts than a ptrace stop, which will be possible in the future. The 64-bit do_debug exception handler is also changed not to clear TF from user-mode registers. This matches the 32-bit kernel's behavior.

2008-01-25sched: high-res preemption tickPeter Zijlstra
Use HR-timers (when available) to deliver an accurate preemption tick. The regular scheduler tick that runs at 1/HZ can be too coarse when nice level are used. The fairness system will still keep the cpu utilisation 'fair' by then delaying the task that got an excessive amount of CPU time but try to minimize this by delivering preemption points spot-on. The average frequency of this extra interrupt is sched_latency / nr_latency. Which need not be higher than 1/HZ, its just that the distribution within the sched_latency period is important.

2007-10-13Delete filenames in comments.Dave Jones
Since the x86 merge, lots of files that referenced their own filenames are no longer correct. Rather than keep them up to date, just delete them, as they add no real value. Additionally: - fix up comment formatting in scx200_32.c - Remove a credit from myself in setup_64.c from a time when we had no SCM - remove longwinded history from tsc_32.c which can be figured out from git.
