| x86: remove open-coded save/load segment operations
|
| This removes a pile of buggy open-coded implementations of savesegment
| and loadsegment.
after some more bisection of this patch itself, it turns out that what
makes the difference are the savesegment() changes to __switch_to().
Taking a look at this portion of arch/x86/kernel/process_64.o revealed
this crutial difference:
note the "m" modifier - it allows GCC to generate the segment move
into a memory operand as well.
But regarding segment operands there's a subtle detail in the x86
instruction set: the above 16-bit moves are zero-extend, but only
if it goes to a register.
If it goes to a memory operand, -0x34(%rbp) in the above case, there's
no zero-extend to 32-bit and the instruction will only save 16 bits
instead of the intended 32-bit.
The other 16 bits is random data - which can cause problems when that
value is used later on.
The solution is to only allow segment operands to go to registers.
This fix allows my test-system to boot up without crashing.
x86_64: add pseudo-features for 32-bit compat syscall
Add pseudo-feature bits to describe whether the CPU supports sysenter
and/or syscall from ia32-compat userspace. This removes a hardcoded
test in vdso32-setup.

x86: I/O APIC: Add a 64-bit variation of replace_pin_at_irq()
When an interrupt is rerouted to a different I/O APIC pin the relevant
entry of the irq_2_pin list should get updated accordingly so that
operations are performed on the correct redirection entry.
This is already done by the 32-bit variation of the code and here is a
complementing 64-bit implementation. Should make someone's decision less
tough when merging the two. ;)

AMD_IOMMU should depend on IOMMU_HELPER since they are the IOMMU
helper functions. SWIOTLB requires IOMMU_HELPER so declaring that
AMD_IOMMU depends on SWIOTLB properly fixes the problems.
Switch copy_user_generic_string(), copy_user_generic_unrolled() and
__copy_user_nocache() from custom tail handlers to generic
copy_user_tail_handle().
This patch removes the ordering dependency. There is now only one
subsys_initcall function that contains subsystem initialization code
with a defined order.

The problems are that, with the ACPI vs timer overring issue _fixed_,
after using the box for some time (between several seconds and 1 hour, at
random) processes get very high CPU loads (once I've got X using 107% of
the CPU, for example) and the system becomes unresponsive, as though there
were interrupts lost or something similar.

So lets fall back to the IRQ0/INT0 configuration on this box.

Our integration efforts broke a build with this function being used

This is actually a bug
in x86_64 too, since the x86_64 instruction set reference does not list
it as valid.
We probably didn't trigger this before due to the ammount of
registers available for 64-bit platforms. But that's just my guess.
