[PATCH] i386: Allow a kernel not to be in ring 0
We allow for the fact that the guest kernel may not run in ring 0. This

This is Chris' [RFC PATCH 15/33] move segment checks to subarch, except rather
than using #define USER_MODE_MASK which depends on a config option, we use
Zach's more flexible approach of assuming ring 3 == userspace. I also used
"get_kernel_rpl()" over "get_kernel_cs()" because I think it reads better in
the code...
1) Remove the hardcoded 3 and introduce #define SEGMENT_RPL_MASK 3 2) Add a
get_kernel_rpl() macro, and don't assume it's zero.
And:
Clean up of patch for letting kernel run other than ring 0:
a. Add some comments about the SEGMENT_IS_*_CODE() macros.
b. Add a USER_RPL macro. (Code was comparing a value to a mask
in some places and to the magic number 3 in other places.)

[PATCH] Put .note.* sections into a PT_NOTE segment
This patch updates x86_64 linker script to pack any .note.* sections
into a PT_NOTE segment in the output file.
To do this, we tell ld that we need a PT_NOTE segment. This requires
us to start explicitly mapping sections to segments, so we also need
to explicitly create PT_LOAD segments for text and data, and map the
sections to them appropriately. Fortunately, each section will
default to its previous section's segment, so it doesn't take many
changes to vmlinux.lds.S.
The corresponding change is already made for i386 in -mm and I'd like
this patch to join it. The section to segment mappings do change as do
the segment flags so some time in -mm would be good for that reason as
well, just in case.
In particular .data and .bss move from the text segment to the data
segment and .data.cacheline_aligned .data.read_mostly are put in the
data segment instead of a separate one.
I think that it would be possible to exactly match the existing section
to segment mapping and flags but it would be a more intrusive change and
I'm not sure there is a reason for the existing layout other than it is
what you get by default if you don't explicitly specify something else.
If there is a reason for the existing layout then I will of course make
the more intrusive change. If there is no reason we could probably drop
the executable or writable flags from some segments but I don't know how
much attention is paid to them anyway so it might not be worth the
effort.
The vsyscall related sections need to go in a different segment to the
normal data segment and so I invented a "user" segment to contain them.
I believe this should appear to be another data segment as far as the
kernel is concerned so the flags are setup accordingly.
The notes will be used in the Xen paravirt_ops backend to provide
additional information to the domain builder. I am in the process of
converting the xen-unstable kernels and tools over to this scheme at the
moment to support this in the future.
It has been suggested to me that the notes segment should have flags 0
(i.e. not readable) since it is only used by the loader and is not used
at runtime. For now I went with a readable segment since that is what
the i386 patch uses.

for that is not merged yet

And replace all users with ordinary smp_processor_id. The function

[PATCH] non lazy "sleazy" fpu implementation
Right now the kernel on x86-64 has a 100% lazy fpu behavior: after *every*
context switch a trap is taken for the first FPU use to restore the FPU
context lazily. This is of course great for applications that have very
sporadic or no FPU use (since then you avoid doing the expensive
save/restore all the time). However for very frequent FPU users... you
take an extra trap every context switch.
The patch below adds a simple heuristic to this code: After 5 consecutive
context switches of FPU use, the lazy behavior is disabled and the context
gets restored every context switch. If the app indeed uses the FPU, the
trap is avoided. (the chance of the 6th time slice using FPU after the
previous 5 having done so are quite high obviously).
After 256 switches, this is reset and lazy behavior is returned (until
there are 5 consecutive ones again). The reason for this is to give apps
that do longer bursts of FPU use still the lazy behavior back after some
time.

While spinning in a loop reading monotonic clock values (pinned to a

Because cycles_2_ns() can be called from the timer ISR right after the irq0

KPROBE_ENTRY does a .section .kprobes.text, and expects its users to

Unfortunately, if any code within the function switches sections, for

into .fixup. Worse, any subsequent .fixup code gets intermingled with
the code its supposed to be fixing (which is also in .fixup). It's
surprising this didn't cause more havok.
The fix is to use .pushsection/.popsection, so this stuff nests
properly. A further cleanup would be to get rid of all
.section/.previous pairs, since they're inherently fragile.

The main advantage is that stacktrace can now use the new dwarf2 unwinder

[PATCH] Replace local_save_flags+local_irq_disable with
The combination of "local_save_flags" and "local_irq_disable" seems to be
equivalent to "local_irq_save" (see code snips below). Consequently, replace
occurrences of local_save_flags+local_irq_disable with local_irq_save.
* local_irq_save
#define raw_local_irq_save(flags) \
do { (flags) = __raw_local_irq_save(); } while (0)
static inline unsigned long __raw_local_irq_save(void)
{
unsigned long flags = __raw_local_save_flags();
raw_local_irq_disable();
return flags;
}
* local_save_flags
#define raw_local_save_flags(flags) \
do { (flags) = __raw_local_save_flags(); } while (0)
