2008-07-08x86/paravirt: add sysret/sysexit pvops for returning to 32-bit compatibility ↵Jeremy Fitzhardinge
userspace In a 64-bit system, we need separate sysret/sysexit operations to return to a 32-bit userspace.

2008-07-08x86/paravirt, 64-bit: don't restore user rsp within sysretJeremy Fitzhardinge
There's no need to combine restoring the user rsp within the sysret pvop, so split it out. This makes the pvop's semantics closer to the machine instruction.

2008-07-08x86/paravirt: split sysret and sysexitJeremy Fitzhardinge
Don't conflate sysret and sysexit; they're different instructions with different semantics, and may be in use at the same time (at least within the same kernel, depending on whether its an Intel or AMD system). sysexit - just return to userspace, does no register restoration of any kind; must explicitly atomically enable interrupts. sysret - reloads flags from r11, so no need to explicitly enable interrupts on 64-bit, responsible for restoring usermode %gs Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citirx.com> Cc: xen-devel <xen-devel@lists.xensource.com> Cc: Stephen Tweedie <sct@redhat.com> Cc: Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@redhat.com> Cc: Mark McLoughlin <markmc@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-01-30x86: add stringify headerGlauber de Oliveira Costa
We use a __stringify construction at paravirt_patch_64.c. It's better practice to include the stringify header directly 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>
2008-01-30x86: patching functions on 64-bitGlauber de Oliveira Costa
Like i386, x86_64 also need to include its own patching function. (Well, if you're not in a hurry, and don't care about speed, you don't really _need_ ;-)) So here they are. Not much different in essence from i386 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>
