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.

The generic exception handler (error_code) passes in the pt_regs
pointer and the error code (unused in this case). The commit
"x86: fix math_emu register frame access" changed this to pass by
value, which doesn't work correctly with stack protector enabled.
Change it back to use the pt_regs pointer.

Impact: fix x86_32 stack protector
Brian Gerst found out that %gs was being initialized to stack_canary
instead of stack_canary - 20, which basically gave the same canary
value for all threads. Fixing this also exposed the following bugs.
* cpu_idle() didn't call boot_init_stack_canary()
* stack canary switching in switch_to() was being done too late making
the initial run of a new thread use the old stack canary value.
Fix all of them and while at it update comment in cpu_idle() about
calling boot_init_stack_canary().

Impact: stack protector for x86_32
Implement stack protector for x86_32. GDT entry 28 is used for it.
It's set to point to stack_canary-20 and have the length of 24 bytes.
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR turns off CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and sets %gs
to the stack canary segment on entry. As %gs is otherwise unused by
the kernel, the canary can be anywhere. It's defined as a percpu
variable.
x86_32 exception handlers take register frame on stack directly as
struct pt_regs. With -fstack-protector turned on, gcc copies the
whole structure after the stack canary and (of course) doesn't copy
back on return thus losing all changed. For now, -fno-stack-protector
is added to all files which contain those functions. We definitely
need something better.

Impact: pt_regs changed, lazy gs handling made optional, add slight
overhead to SAVE_ALL, simplifies error_code path a bit
On x86_32, %gs hasn't been used by kernel and handled lazily. pt_regs
doesn't have place for it and gs is saved/loaded only when necessary.
In preparation for stack protector support, this patch makes lazy %gs
handling optional by doing the followings.
* Add CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and place for gs in pt_regs.
* Save and restore %gs along with other registers in entry_32.S unless
LAZY_GS. Note that this unfortunately adds "pushl $0" on SAVE_ALL
even when LAZY_GS. However, it adds no overhead to common exit path
and simplifies entry path with error code.
* Define different user_gs accessors depending on LAZY_GS and add
lazy_save_gs() and lazy_load_gs() which are noop if !LAZY_GS. The
lazy_*_gs() ops are used to save, load and clear %gs lazily.
* Define ELF_CORE_COPY_KERNEL_REGS() which always read %gs directly.
xen and lguest changes need to be verified.

Impact: cleanup
On x86_32, %gs is handled lazily. It's not saved and restored on
kernel entry/exit but only when necessary which usually is during task
switch but there are few other places. Currently, it's done by
calling savesegment() and loadsegment() explicitly. Define
get_user_gs(), set_user_gs() and task_user_gs() and use them instead.
While at it, clean up register access macros in signal.c.
This cleans up code a bit and will help future changes.

do_device_not_available() is the handler for #NM and it declares that
it takes a unsigned long and calls math_emu(), which takes a long
argument and surprisingly expects the stack frame starting at the zero
argument would match struct math_emu_info, which isn't true regardless
of configuration in the current code.
This patch makes do_device_not_available() take struct pt_regs like
other exception handlers and initialize struct math_emu_info with
pointer to it and pass pointer to the math_emu_info to math_emulate()
like normal C functions do. This way, unless gcc makes a copy of
struct pt_regs in do_device_not_available(), the register frame is
correctly accessed regardless of kernel configuration or compiler
used.
This doesn't fix all math_emu problems but it at least gets it
somewhat working.

Impact: find right nr_irqs_gsi on some systems.
One test-system has gap between gsi's:
[ 0.000000] ACPI: IOAPIC (id[0x04] address[0xfec00000] gsi_base[0])
[ 0.000000] IOAPIC[0]: apic_id 4, version 0, address 0xfec00000, GSI 0-23
[ 0.000000] ACPI: IOAPIC (id[0x05] address[0xfeafd000] gsi_base[48])
[ 0.000000] IOAPIC[1]: apic_id 5, version 0, address 0xfeafd000, GSI 48-54
[ 0.000000] ACPI: IOAPIC (id[0x06] address[0xfeafc000] gsi_base[56])
[ 0.000000] IOAPIC[2]: apic_id 6, version 0, address 0xfeafc000, GSI 56-62
...
[ 0.000000] nr_irqs_gsi: 38
So nr_irqs_gsi is not right. some irq for MSI will overwrite with io_apic.

For Intel 7400 series CPUs, the recommendation is to use a clflush on the
monitored address just before monitor and mwait pair [1].
This clflush makes sure that there are no false wakeups from mwait when the
monitored address was recently written to.

On an x86 system which doesn't support global mappings,
__supported_pte_mask has _PAGE_GLOBAL clear, to make sure it never
appears in the PTE. pfn_pte() and so on will enforce it with:
static inline pte_t pfn_pte(unsigned long page_nr, pgprot_t pgprot)
{
return __pte((((phys_addr_t)page_nr << PAGE_SHIFT) |
pgprot_val(pgprot)) & __supported_pte_mask);
}
However, we overload _PAGE_GLOBAL with _PAGE_PROTNONE on non-present
ptes to distinguish them from swap entries. However, applying
__supported_pte_mask indiscriminately will clear the bit and corrupt the
pte.
I guess the best fix is to only apply __supported_pte_mask to present
ptes. This seems like the right solution to me, as it means we can
completely ignore the issue of overlaps between the present pte bits and
the non-present pte-as-swap entry use of the bits.
__supported_pte_mask contains the set of flags we support on the
current hardware. We also use bits in the pte for things like
logically present ptes with no permissions, and swap entries for
swapped out pages. We should only apply __supported_pte_mask to
present ptes, because otherwise we may destroy other information being
stored in the ptes.

Impact: split out a function, no functional change
Xen needs to be able to access percpu data from very early on. For
various reasons, it cannot also load the gdt at that time. It does,
however, have a pefectly functional gdt at that point, so there's no
pressing need to reload the gdt.
Split the function to load the segment registers off, so Xen can call
it directly.

Impact: Optimization
One of the problems with inserting a pile of C calls where previously
there were none is that the register pressure is greatly increased.
The C calling convention says that the caller must expect a certain
set of registers may be trashed by the callee, and that the callee can
use those registers without restriction. This includes the function
argument registers, and several others.
This patch seeks to alleviate this pressure by introducing wrapper
thunks that will do the register saving/restoring, so that the
callsite doesn't need to worry about it, but the callee function can
be conventional compiler-generated code. In many cases (particularly
performance-sensitive cases) the callee will be in assembler anyway,
and need not use the compiler's calling convention.
Standard calling convention is:
arguments return scratch
x86-32 eax edx ecx eax ?
x86-64 rdi rsi rdx rcx rax r8 r9 r10 r11
The thunk preserves all argument and scratch registers. The return
register is not preserved, and is available as a scratch register for
unwrapped callee code (and of course the return value).
Wrapped function pointers are themselves wrapped in a struct
paravirt_callee_save structure, in order to get some warning from the
compiler when functions with mismatched calling conventions are used.
The most common paravirt ops, both statically and dynamically, are
interrupt enable/disable/save/restore, so handle them first. This is
particularly easy since their calls are handled specially anyway.
XXX Deal with VMI. What's their calling convention?

Each asm paravirt-ops call says what registers are available for

Impact: Optimization
Several paravirt ops implementations simply return their arguments,
the most obvious being the make_pte/pte_val class of operations on
native.
On 32-bit, the identity function is literally a no-op, as the calling
convention uses the same registers for the first argument and return.
On 64-bit, it can be implemented with a single "mov".
This patch adds special identity functions for 32 and 64 bit argument,
and machinery to recognize them and replace them with either nops or a
mov as appropriate.
At the moment, the only users for the identity functions are the
pagetable entry conversion functions.
The result is a measureable improvement on pagetable-heavy benchmarks
(2-3%, reducing the pvops overhead from 5 to 2%).
