2008-01-30x86: unify desc_structGlauber de Oliveira Costa
This patch aims to make the access of struct desc_struct variables equal across architectures. In this patch, I unify the i386 and x86_64 versions under an anonymous union, keeping the way they are accessed untouched (a and b for 32-bit code, individual bit-fields for 64-bit). This solution is not beautiful, but will allow us to integrate common code that differed by the way descriptors were used. This is to be viewed incrementally. There's simply too much code to be fixed at once. In the future, goal is to set up in a single way of acessing the desc_struct fields.

2008-01-30x86: prepare 64-bit architecture initialization for paravirtGlauber de Oliveira Costa
This patch prepares the x86_64 architecture initialization for paravirt. It requires a memory initialization step, which is done by implementing 64-bit version for machine_specific_memory_setup, and putting an ARCH_SETUP hook, for guest-dependent initialization. This last step is done akin to i386 Signed-off-by: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Acked-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@xensource.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2008-01-30x86: tweak io_64.h for paravirt.Glauber de Oliveira Costa

2008-01-30x86: prepare time related functions for paravirtGlauber de Oliveira Costa
This patch add provisions for time related functions so they can be later replaced by paravirt versions. it basically encloses {g,s}et_wallclock inside the already existent functions update_persistent_clock and read_persistent_clock, and defines {s,g}et_wallclock to the core of such functions. it also allow for a later-on-game time initialization, as done by i386. Paravirt guests can set a function to do their own initialization this way.

2008-01-30x86: unify system.hGlauber de Oliveira Costa
This patch finishes the unification of system.h file. i386 needs a constant to be defined, and it is defined inside an ifdef.

2008-01-30x86: make fixups wordsize agnosticGlauber de Oliveira Costa
This patch uses the _ASM_ALIGN and _ASM_PTR macros to make the fixups in native_read/write_msr_safe look the same for x86_64 and i386. Besides using this macros, we also have to take the explicit instruction suffixes out. It's okay because all this instructions uses registers, and can be sized by them.

2008-01-30x86: change write msr functions interfaceGlauber de Oliveira Costa
This patche changes the native_write_msr() and friends interface to explicitly take 2 32-bit registers instead of a 64-bit value. The change will ease the merge with 64-bit code. As the 64-bit value will be passed as two registers anyway in i386, the PVOP_CALL interface has to account for that and use low/high parameters It would force the x86_64 version to be different. The change does not make i386 generated code less efficient. As said above, it would get the values from two registers anyway.

2008-01-30x86: change rdpmc interfaceGlauber de Oliveira Costa
the rdpmc instruction gets a counter argument in rcx. However, the i386 version was ignoring it.

2008-01-30x86: introduce native_read_tscpGlauber de Oliveira Costa
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.

2008-01-30x86: unify cpuid functionsGlauber de Oliveira Costa

2008-01-30x86: split get_cycles_syncGlauber de Oliveira Costa
This patch splits get_cycles_sync() into __get_cycles_sync(), and the rdtscll part. Paravirt guests cannot issue rdtscl directly, as it involves a function call in vdso area. So, using the __get_cycles_sync() base, we introduce vget_cycles_sync, which then calls the native version of rdtscll. Ideally, however, a guest should define its own clocksource, together with a vread function Signed-off-by: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

We have a lot of code which differs only by the naming of specific members of structures that contain registers.

2008-01-30x86: partial unification of asm-x86/bitops.hJeremy Fitzhardinge
This unifies the set/clear/test bit functions of asm/bitops.h. I have not attempted to merge the bit-finding functions, since they rely on the machine word size and can't be easily restructured to work generically without a lot of #ifdefs. In particular, the 64-bit code can assume the presence of conditional move instructions, whereas 32-bit needs to be more careful. The inline assembly for the bit operations has been changed to remove explicit sizing hints on the instructions, so the assembler will pick the appropriate instruction forms depending on the architecture and the context.

This is the analog of arch_has_single_step() for step-until-branch on machines that have it. It declares the new user_enable_block_step function, which goes with the existing user_enable_single_step and user_disable_single_step.

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.
