2009-04-12x86: clean up declarations and variablesJaswinder Singh Rajput1-21/+24
Impact: cleanup, no code changed - syscalls.h update declarations due to unifications - irq.c declare smp_generic_interrupt() before it gets used - process.c declare sys_fork() and sys_vfork() before they get used - tsc.c rename tsc_khz shadowed variable - apic/probe_32.c declare apic_default before it gets used - apic/nmi.c prev_nmi_count should be unsigned - apic/io_apic.c declare smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt() before it gets used - mm/init.c declare direct_gbpages and free_initrd_mem before they get used Signed-off-by: Jaswinder Singh Rajput <jaswinder@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-02-12x86: merge sys_rt_sigreturn between 32 and 64 bitsH. Peter Anvin1-1/+1
Impact: cleanup With the recent changes in the 32-bit code to make system calls which use struct pt_regs take a pointer, sys_rt_sigreturn() have become identical between 32 and 64 bits, and both are empty wrappers around do_rt_sigreturn(). Remove both wrappers and rename both to sys_rt_sigreturn(). Cc: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@linux.intel.com>
2009-02-12x86: use regparm(3) for passed-in pt_regs pointerBrian Gerst1-15/+10
Some syscalls need to access the pt_regs structure, either to copy user register state or to modifiy it. This patch adds stubs to load the address of the pt_regs struct into the %eax register, and changes the syscalls to take the pointer as an argument instead of relying on the assumption that the pt_regs structure overlaps the function arguments. Drop the use of regparm(1) due to concern about gcc bugs, and to move in the direction of the eventual removal of regparm(0) for asmlinkage.

2009-02-11x86: pass in pt_regs pointer for syscalls that need itBrian Gerst1-10/+15
Some syscalls need to access the pt_regs structure, either to copy user register state or to modifiy it. This patch adds stubs to load the address of the pt_regs struct into the %eax register, and changes the syscalls to regparm(1) to receive the pt_regs pointer as the first argument.

2009-01-21Revert "x86: signal: change type of paramter for sys_rt_sigreturn()"Ingo Molnar1-1/+1
This reverts commit 4217458dafaa57d8e26a46f5d05ab8c53cf64191. Justin Madru bisected this commit, it was causing weird Firefox crashes. The reason is that GCC mis-optimizes (re-uses) the on-stack parameters of the calling frame, which corrupts the syscall return pt_regs state and thus corrupts user-space register state. So we go back to the slightly less clean but more optimization-safe method of getting to pt_regs. Also add a comment to explain this.
