Brian Gerst 0100301bfd sched/x86: Rewrite the switch_to() code
Move the low-level context switch code to an out-of-line asm stub instead of
using complex inline asm.  This allows constructing a new stack frame for the
child process to make it seamlessly flow to ret_from_fork without an extra
test and branch in __switch_to().  It also improves code generation for
__schedule() by using the C calling convention instead of clobbering all
registers.

Andy Lutomirski 7536656f08 x86/entry/32: Simplify and fix up the SYSENTER stack #DB/NMI fixup
Right after SYSENTER, we can get a #DB or NMI.  On x86_32, there's no IST,
so the exception handler is invoked on the temporary SYSENTER stack.

Because the SYSENTER stack is very small, we have a fixup to switch
off the stack quickly when this happens.  The old fixup had several issues:

 1. It checked the interrupt frame's CS and EIP.  This wasn't
    obviously correct on Xen or if vm86 mode was in use [1].

 2. In the NMI handler, it did some frightening digging into the
    stack frame.  I'm not convinced this digging was correct.

 3. The fixup didn't switch stacks and then switch back.  Instead, it
    synthesized a brand new stack frame that would redirect the IRET
    back to the SYSENTER code.  That frame was highly questionable.
    For one thing, if NMI nested inside #DB, we would effectively
    abort the #DB prologue, which was probably safe but was
    frightening.  For another, the code used PUSHFL to write the
    FLAGS portion of the frame, which was simply bogus -- by the time
    PUSHFL was called, at least TF, NT, VM, and all of the arithmetic
    flags were clobbered.

Simplify this considerably.  Instead of looking at the saved frame
to see where we came from, check the hardware ESP register against
the SYSENTER stack directly.  Malicious user code cannot spoof the
kernel ESP register, and by moving the check after SAVE_ALL, we can
use normal PER_CPU accesses to find all the relevant addresses.

With this patch applied, the improved syscall_nt_32 test finally
passes on 32-bit kernels.

[1] It isn't obviously correct, but it is nonetheless safe from vm86
    shenanigans as far as I can tell.  A user can't point EIP at
    entry_SYSENTER_32 while in vm86 mode because entry_SYSENTER_32,
    like all kernel addresses, is greater than 0xffff and would thus
    violate the CS segment limit.

Andy Lutomirski cfcbadb49d x86/syscalls: Add syscall entry qualifiers
This will let us specify something like 'sys_xyz/foo' instead of
'sys_xyz' in the syscall table, where the 'foo' qualifier conveys
some extra information to the C code.

The intent is to allow things like sys_execve/ptregs to indicate
that sys_execve() touches pt_regs.

Denys Vlasenko d828c71fba x86/asm/entry/32: Document the 32-bit SYSENTER "emergency stack" better
Before the patch, the 'tss_struct::stack' field was not referenced anywhere.

It was used only to set SYSENTER's stack to point after the last byte
of tss_struct, thus the trailing field, stack[64], was used.

But grep would not know it. You can comment it out, compile,
and kernel will even run until an unlucky NMI corrupts
io_bitmap[] (which is also not easily detectable).

This patch changes code so that the purpose and usage of this
field is not mysterious anymore, and can be easily grepped for.

This does change generated code, for a subtle reason:
since tss_struct is ____cacheline_aligned, there happens to be
5 longs of padding at the end. Old code was using the padding
too; new code will strictly use it only for SYSENTER_stack[].

Borislav Petkov 5de2b61a63 x86/asm: Guard against building the 32/64-bit versions of the asm-offsets*.c file directly
Sometimes it is helpful to build a kernel compilation unit
directly, i.e.:

  make .../<filename>.i

in order to look at compiler output.

Since asm-offsets_{32,64}.c are included by asm-offsets.c and
building them directly doesn't evaluate the macros used (thus
making the preprocessor output not very useful), error out when
an attempt is made to build them. Issue a hint for the user to
build asm-offsets.c instead.

Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk cc456c4e7c x86, gdt, hibernate: Store/load GDT for hibernate path.
The git commite7a5cd063c7b4c58417f674821d63f5eb6747e37
("x86-64, gdt: Store/load GDT for ACPI S3 or hibernate/resume path
is not needed.") assumes that for the hibernate path the booting
kernel and the resuming kernel MUST be the same. That is certainly
the case for a 32-bit kernel (see check_image_kernel and
CONFIG_ARCH_HIBERNATION_HEADER config option).

However for 64-bit kernels it is OK to have a different kernel
version (and size of the image) of the booting and resuming kernels.
Hence the above mentioned git commit introduces an regression.

This patch fixes it by introducing a 'struct desc_ptr gdt_desc'
back in the 'struct saved_context'. However instead of having in the
'save_processor_state' and 'restore_processor_state' the
store/load_gdt calls, we are only saving the GDT in the
save_processor_state.

For the restore path the lgdt operation is done in
hibernate_asm_[32|64].S in the 'restore_registers' path.

The apt reader of this description will recognize that only 64-bit
kernels need this treatment, not 32-bit. This patch adds the logic
in the 32-bit path to be more similar to 64-bit so that in the future
the unification process can take advantage of this.

[ hpa: this also reverts an inadvertent on-disk format change ]

H. Peter Anvin 303395ac3b x86: Generate system call tables and unistd_*.h from tables
Generate system call tables and unistd_*.h automatically from the
tables in arch/x86/syscalls.  All other information, like NR_syscalls,
is auto-generated, some of which is in asm-offsets_*.c.

This allows us to keep all the system call information in one place,
and allows for kernel space and user space to see different
information; this is currently used for the ia32 system call numbers
when building the 64-bit kernel, but will be used by the x32 ABI in
the near future.

This also removes some gratuitious differences between i386, x86-64
and ia32; in particular, now all system call tables are generated with
the same mechanism.

Rusty Russell 5dea1c88ed lguest: use a special 1:1 linear pagetable mode until first switch.
The Host used to create some page tables for the Guest to use at the
top of Guest memory; it would then tell the Guest where this was.  In
particular, it created linear mappings for 0 and 0xC0000000 addresses
because lguest used to switch to its real page tables quite late in
boot.

However, since d50d8fe19 Linux initialized boot page tables in
head_32.S even before the "are we lguest?" boot jump.  So, now we can
simplify things: the Host pagetable code assumes 1:1 linear mapping
until it first calls the LHCALL_NEW_PGTABLE hypercall, which we now do
before we reach C code.

This also means that the Host doesn't need to know anything about the
Guest's PAGE_OFFSET.  (Non-Linux guests might not even have such a
thing).

gas prior to (perhaps) 2.16.90 has problems with passing non-
parenthesized expressions containing spaces to macros. Spaces, however,
get inserted by cpp between any macro expanding to a number and a
subsequent + or -. For the +, current x86 gas then removes the space
again (future gas may not do so), but for the - the space gets retained
and is then considered a separator between macro arguments.

Fix the respective definitions for both the - and + cases, so that they
neither contain spaces nor make cpp insert any (the latter by adding
seemingly redundant parentheses).

Rusty Russell 61f4bc83fe lguest: optimize by coding restore_flags and irq_enable in assembler.
The downside of the last patch which made restore_flags and irq_enable
check interrupts is that they are now too big to be patched directly
into the callsites, so the C versions are always used.

But the C versions go via PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK which saves all
the registers.  In fact, we don't need any registers in the fast path,
so we can do better than this if we actually code them in assembler.

The results are in the noise, but since it's about the same amount of
code, it's worth applying.

Tejun Heo ccbeed3a05 x86: make lazy %gs optional on x86_32
Impact: pt_regs changed, lazy gs handling made optional, add slight
        overhead to SAVE_ALL, simplifies error_code path a bit

On x86_32, %gs hasn't been used by kernel and handled lazily.  pt_regs
doesn't have place for it and gs is saved/loaded only when necessary.
In preparation for stack protector support, this patch makes lazy %gs
handling optional by doing the followings.

* Add CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and place for gs in pt_regs.

* Save and restore %gs along with other registers in entry_32.S unless
  LAZY_GS.  Note that this unfortunately adds "pushl $0" on SAVE_ALL
  even when LAZY_GS.  However, it adds no overhead to common exit path
  and simplifies entry path with error code.

* Define different user_gs accessors depending on LAZY_GS and add
  lazy_save_gs() and lazy_load_gs() which are noop if !LAZY_GS.  The
  lazy_*_gs() ops are used to save, load and clear %gs lazily.

* Define ELF_CORE_COPY_KERNEL_REGS() which always read %gs directly.

xen and lguest changes need to be verified.

H. Peter Anvin 742fa54a62 x86: use generic register names in struct sigcontext
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.

H. Peter Anvin 65ea5b0349 x86: rename the struct pt_regs members for 32/64-bit consistency
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.

Roland McGrath 108b545137 x86 vDSO: harmonize asm-offsets
This change harmonizes the asm-offsets macros used in the 32-bit vDSO
across 32-bit and 64-bit builds.  It's a purely cosmetic change for now,
but it paves the way for consolidating the 32-bit vDSO builds.

Glauber de Oliveira Costa 6abcd98ffa x86: irqflags consolidation
This patch consolidates the irqflags include files containing common
paravirt definitions. The native definition for interrupt handling, halt,
and such, are the same for 32 and 64 bit, and they are kept in irqflags.h.
the differences are split in the arch-specific files.

The syscall function, irq_enable_sysexit, has a very specific i386 naming,
and its name is then changed to a more general one.

Rusty Russell 47436aa4ad Boot with virtual == physical to get closer to native Linux.
1) This allows us to get alot closer to booting bzImages.

2) It means we don't have to know page_offset.

3) The Guest needs to modify the boot pagetables to create the
   PAGE_OFFSET mapping before jumping to C code.

4) guest_pa() walks the page tables rather than using page_offset.

5) We don't use page_offset to figure out whether to emulate: it was
   always kinda quesationable, and won't work for instructions done
   before remapping (bzImage unpacking in particular).

6) We still want the kernel address for tlb flushing: have the initial
   hypercall give us that, too.

Rusty Russell e5371ac566 update boot spec to 2.07
Updates for version 2.07 of the boot protocol.  This includes:

load_flags.KEEP_SEGMENTS- flag to request/inhibit segment reloads
hardware_subarch	- what subarchitecture we're booting under
hardware_subarch_data	- per-architecture data

The intention of these changes is to make booting a paravirtualized
kernel work via the normal Linux boot protocol.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 93b1eab3d2 paravirt: refactor struct paravirt_ops into smaller pv_*_ops
This patch refactors the paravirt_ops structure into groups of
functionally related ops:

pv_info - random info, rather than function entrypoints
pv_init_ops - functions used at boot time (some for module_init too)
pv_misc_ops - lazy mode, which didn't fit well anywhere else
pv_time_ops - time-related functions
pv_cpu_ops - various privileged instruction ops
pv_irq_ops - operations for managing interrupt state
pv_apic_ops - APIC operations
pv_mmu_ops - operations for managing pagetables

There are several motivations for this:

1. Some of these ops will be general to all x86, and some will be
   i386/x86-64 specific.  This makes it easier to share common stuff
   while allowing separate implementations where needed.

2. At the moment we must export all of paravirt_ops, but modules only
   need selected parts of it.  This allows us to export on a case by case
   basis (and also choose which export license we want to apply).

3. Functional groupings make things a bit more readable.

Struct paravirt_ops is now only used as a template to generate
patch-site identifiers, and to extract function pointers for inserting
into jmp/calls when patching.  It is only instantiated when needed.
