Eric W. Biederman 24a065624d sysctl x86: Remove dead binary sysctl support
Now that sys_sysctl is a generic wrapper around /proc/sys  .ctl_name
and .strategy members of sysctl tables are dead code.  Remove them.

john stultz da15cfdae0 time: Introduce CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE
After talking with some application writers who want very fast, but not
fine-grained timestamps, I decided to try to implement new clock_ids
to clock_gettime(): CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE and CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE
which returns the time at the last tick. This is very fast as we don't
have to access any hardware (which can be very painful if you're using
something like the acpi_pm clocksource), and we can even use the vdso
clock_gettime() method to avoid the syscall. The only trade off is you
only get low-res tick grained time resolution.

This isn't a new idea, I know Ingo has a patch in the -rt tree that made
the vsyscall gettimeofday() return coarse grained time when the
vsyscall64 sysctrl was set to 2. However this affects all applications
on a system.

With this method, applications can choose the proper speed/granularity
trade-off for themselves.

* arch/kernel/acpi/realmode and arch/kernel/boot/compressed:
  not linked to main kernel
* arch/vdso, arch/kernel/vsyscall_64 and arch/kernel/hpet:
  profiling causes segfaults during boot (incompatible context)

John Wright 2f65dd475c x86: gettimeofday() vDSO: fix segfault when tv == NULL
According to the gettimeofday(2) manual:

       If either tv or tz is NULL, the corresponding structure is not
       set or returned.

Since it is legal to give NULL as the tv argument, the code should make
sure tv is not NULL before trying to dereference it.

This issue manifests itself on x86_64 when vdso=0 is not on the kernel
command-line and libc uses the vDSO for gettimeofday() (e.g. glibc >=
2.7).  A simple reproducer:

  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <sys/time.h>

  int main(void)
  {
      struct timezone tz;

      gettimeofday(NULL, &tz);

      return 0;
  }

See http://bugs.debian.org/466491 for more details.

Martin Schwidefsky fc5243d98a [S390] arch_setup_additional_pages arguments
arch_setup_additional_pages currently gets two arguments, the binary
format descripton and an indication if the process uses an executable
stack or not. The second argument is not used by anybody, it could
be removed without replacement.

What actually does make sense is to pass an indication if the process
uses the elf interpreter or not. The glibc code will not use anything
from the vdso if the process does not use the dynamic linker, so for
statically linked binaries the architecture backend can choose not
to map the vdso.

AMD only supports "syscall" from 32-bit compat usermode.
Intel and Centaur(?) only support "sysenter" from 32-bit compat usermode.

Set the X86 feature bits accordingly, and set up the vdso in
accordance with those bits.  On the offchance we run on in a 64-bit
environment which supports neither syscall nor sysenter from 32-bit
mode, then fall back to the int $0x80 vdso.

Roland McGrath d9dedc1385 x86_64 vDSO: use initdata
The 64-bit vDSO image is in a special ".vdso" section for no reason
I can determine.  Furthermore, the location of the vdso_end symbol
includes some wrongly-calculated padding space in the image, which
is then (correctly) rounded to page size, resulting in an extra page
of zeros in the image mapped in to user processes.

This changes it to put the vdso.so image into normal initdata as we
have always done for the 32-bit vDSO images.  The extra padding is
gone, so the user VMA is one page instead of two.  The image that
was already copied around at boot time is now in initdata, so we
recover that wasted space after boot.

Roland McGrath 5de253cc5b x86 vDSO: don't map 32-bit vdso when disabled
We map a VMA for the 32-bit vDSO even when it's disabled, which is stupid.
For the 32-bit kernel it's the vdso_enabled boot parameter/sysctl
and for the 64-bit kernel it's the vdso32 boot parameter/syscall32 sysctl.

When it's disabled, we don't pass AT_SYSINFO_EHDR so processes don't use
the vDSO for anything, but we still map it.  For the non-compat vDSO,
this means we're always putting an extra VMA somewhere, maybe lousing
up the control of the address space the user was hoping for.

Honor the setting by doing nothing in arch_setup_additional_pages.

But that solution too is locale-dependent and may not always match
the identifiers it needs to.  The better fix is just to run sed et al

Sam Ravnborg d531b4fd2f x86: teach vdso to clean
A few files remained after 'make clean' in arch/x86/vdso/.
Teach vdso to clean up those files in a bit brutal fashion.
The filenames are just hardcoded in the Makefile.

This switches x86-64's 32-bit ELF support to use the shared

Glauber de Oliveira Costa 8f12dea613 x86: introduce native_read_tscp
Targetting paravirt, this patch introduces native_read_tscp, in
place of rdtscp() macro. When in a paravirt guest, this will
involve a function call, and thus, cannot be done in the vdso area.
These users then have to call the native version directly

Switch struct sigcontext (defined in <asm/sigcontext*.h>) to using

This is intended as a preliminary step in unifying this code between

Roland McGrath cadd516422 x86 vDSO: canonicalize sysenter .eh_frame
Some assembler versions automagically optimize .eh_frame contents,
changing their size.  The CFI in sysenter.S was not using optimal
formatting, so it would be changed by newer/smarter assemblers.
This ran afoul of the wired constant for padding out the other vDSO
images to match its size.  This changes the original hand-coded
source to use the optimal format encoding for its operations.  That
leaves nothing more for a fancy assembler to do, so the sizes will
match the wired-in expected size regardless of the assembler version.

Roland McGrath 69d0627a7f x86 vDSO: reorder vdso32 code
This reorders the code in the 32-bit vDSO images to put the signal
trampolines first and __kernel_vsyscall after them.  The order does
not matter to userland, it just uses what AT_SYSINFO or e_entry
says.  Since the signal trampolines are the same size in both
versions of the vDSO, putting them first is the simplest way to get
the addresses to line up.  This makes it work to use a more compact
layout for the vDSO.

Roland McGrath af65d64845 x86 vDSO: consolidate vdso32
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.
