git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x32 support for x86-64 from Ingo Molnar: "This tree introduces the X32 binary format and execution mode for x86: 32-bit data space binaries using 64-bit instructions and 64-bit kernel syscalls. This allows applications whose working set fits into a 32 bits address space to make use of 64-bit instructions while using a 32-bit address space with shorter pointers, more compressed data structures, etc." Fix up trivial context conflicts in arch/x86/{Kconfig,vdso/vma.c} * 'x86-x32-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (71 commits) x32: Fix alignment fail in struct compat_siginfo x32: Fix stupid ia32/x32 inversion in the siginfo format x32: Add ptrace for x32 x32: Switch to a 64-bit clock_t x32: Provide separate is_ia32_task() and is_x32_task() predicates x86, mtrr: Use explicit sizing and padding for the 64-bit ioctls x86/x32: Fix the binutils auto-detect x32: Warn and disable rather than error if binutils too old x32: Only clear TIF_X32 flag once x32: Make sure TS_COMPAT is cleared for x32 tasks fs: Remove missed ->fds_bits from cessation use of fd_set structs internally fs: Fix close_on_exec pointer in alloc_fdtable x32: Drop non-__vdso weak symbols from the x32 VDSO x32: Fix coding style violations in the x32 VDSO code x32: Add x32 VDSO support x32: Allow x32 to be configured x32: If configured, add x32 system calls to system call tables x32: Handle process creation x32: Signal-related system calls x86: Add #ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT to <asm/sys_ia32.h> ...
2012-03-22x86-32: Fix typo for mq_getsetattr in syscall tableThierry Reding
Syscall 282 was mistakenly named mq_getsetaddr instead of mq_getsetattr. When building uClibc against the Linux kernel this would result in a shared library that doesn't provide the mq_getattr() and mq_setattr() functions.

2012-03-05x32: Add ptrace for x32H.J. Lu
X32 ptrace is a hybrid of 64bit ptrace and compat ptrace with 32bit address and longs. It use 64bit ptrace to access the full 64bit registers. PTRACE_PEEKUSR and PTRACE_POKEUSR are only allowed to access segment and debug registers. PTRACE_PEEKUSR returns the lower 32bits and PTRACE_POKEUSR zero-extends 32bit value to 64bit. It works since the upper 32bits of segment and debug registers of x32 process are always zero. GDB only uses PTRACE_PEEKUSR and PTRACE_POKEUSR to access segment and debug registers. [ hpa: changed TIF_X32 test to use !is_ia32_task() instead, and moved the system call number to the now-unused 521 slot. ] Signed-off-by: "H.J. Lu" <hjl.tools@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: H.

2012-03-05x32: Switch to a 64-bit clock_tH. Peter Anvin
clock_t is used mainly to give the number of jiffies a certain process has burned. It is entirely feasible for a long-running process to consume more than 2^32 jiffies especially in a multiprocess system. As such, switch to a 64-bit clock_t for x32, just as we already switched to a 64-bit time_t. clock_t is only used in a handful of places, and as such it is really not a very significant change. The one that has the biggest impact is in struct siginfo, but since the *size* of struct siginfo doesn't change (it is padded to the hilt) it is fairly easy to make this a localized change. This also gets rid of sys_x32_times, however since this is a pretty late change don't compactify the system call numbers; we can reuse system call slot 521 next time we need an x32 system call.

2012-02-20x32: Generate <asm/unistd_64_x32.h>H. Peter Anvin
Generate macros for the *kernel* code to use to refer to x32 system calls. These have an __NR_x32_ prefix and do not include __X32_SYSCALL_BIT. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
2012-02-20x32: Generate <asm/unistd_x32.h>H. Peter Anvin
Generate <asm/unistd_x32.h>; this exports x32 system call numbers to user space. [ v2: Enclose all arguments to syshdr in '' so empty arguments aren't dropped on the floor. ] Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
2012-02-20x32: Add x32 system calls to syscall/syscall_64.tblH. Peter Anvin
Split the 64-bit system calls into "64" (64-bit only) and "common" (64-bit or x32) and add the x32 system call numbers. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
2012-02-20x86-64, ia32: Drop sys32_rt_sigprocmaskH. Peter Anvin
On x86, the only difference between sys_rt_sigprocmask and sys32_rt_sigprocmask is the alignment of the data structures. However, x86 allows data accesses with arbitrary alignment, and therefore there is no reason for this code to be different. Reported-by: Gregory M. Lueck <gregory.m.lueck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: H.

2011-11-18x86, syscall: Allow syscall offset to be symbolicH. Peter Anvin
Allow the specified syscall offset to be symbolic, e.g. a macro. For offset system calls, this if nothing else makes the generated code easier to read. Suggested-by: H. J.

2011-11-18x86: Simplify syscallhdr.shH. Peter Anvin
Simplify syscallhdr.sh by letting grep sort out the ABIs that we want, rather than relying on manual list matching. This is safe since the ABI strings already have to consist only of characters which are valid in C macro names.
