* x86-32, vdso: On system call restart after SYSENTER, use int $0x80H. Peter Anvin2011-08-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we enter a 32-bit system call via SYSENTER or SYSCALL, we shuffle the arguments to match the int $0x80 calling convention. This was probably a design mistake, but it's what it is now. This causes errors if the system call as to be restarted. For SYSENTER, we have to invoke the instruction from the vdso as the return address is hardcoded. Accordingly, we can simply replace the jump in the vdso with an int $0x80 instruction and use the slower entry point for a post-restart.

* x86: use generic register names in struct sigcontextH. Peter Anvin2008-01-301-27/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* x86 vDSO: canonicalize sysenter .eh_frameRoland McGrath2008-01-303-14/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* x86 vDSO: reorder vdso32 codeRoland McGrath2008-01-304-37/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* x86 vDSO: ia32 vdso32-syscall buildRoland McGrath2008-01-302-3/+75
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This puts the syscall version of the 32-bit vDSO in arch/x86/vdso/vdso32/ for 64-bit IA32 support. This is not used yet, but it paves the way for consolidating the 32-bit vDSO source and build logic all in one place.

* x86 vDSO: vdso32 buildRoland McGrath2008-01-301-0/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This builds the 32-bit vDSO images in the arch/x86/vdso subdirectory. Nothing uses the images yet, but this paves the way for consolidating the vDSO build logic all in one place. The new images use a linker script sharing the layout parts from vdso-layout.lds.S with the 64-bit vDSO. A new vdso32-syms.lds is generated in the style of vdso-syms.lds.

* x86 vDSO: arch/x86/vdso/vdso32Roland McGrath2008-01-304-0/+363
This moves the i386 vDSO sources into arch/x86/vdso/vdso32/, a new directory. This patch is a pure renaming, but paves the way for consolidating the vDSO build logic.
