This adds a compat_ptrace_request that is the analogue of ptrace_request for the things that 32-on-64 ptrace implementations can share in common. So far there are just a couple of requests handled generically. Signed-off-by:

This makes ptrace_request handle {PEEK,POKE}{TEXT,DATA} directly. Every arch_ptrace that could call generic_ptrace_peekdata already has a default case calling ptrace_request, so this keeps things simpler for the arch code. Signed-off-by: -

This defines two new inlines in linux/regset.h, for use in arch_ptrace implementations and the like. These provide simplified wrappers for using the user_regset interfaces to copy thread regset data into the caller's user-space memory. The inlines are trivial, but make the common uses in places such as ptrace implementation much more concise, easier to read, and less prone to code-copying errors. Signed-off-by:

This adds Kconfig and Makefile bits to build fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c, just added. Each arch that wants to use this file needs to add a "select COMPAT_BINFMT_ELF" line in its Kconfig bits that enable COMPAT. Signed-off-by:

This adds fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c, a wrapper around fs/binfmt_elf.c for 32-bit ELF support on 64-bit kernels. It can replace all the hand-rolled versions of this that each 32/64 arch has, which are all about the same. To use this, an arch's asm/elf.h has to define at least a few compat_* macros that parallel the various macros that fs/binfmt_elf.c uses for native support. There is no attempt to deal with compat macros for the core dump format support. To use this file, the arch has to define compat_gregset_t for linux/elfcore-compat.h and #define CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET. The 32-bit compatible formats should come automatically from task_user_regset_view called on a 32-bit task. Signed-off-by:

This adds some inlines to linux/regset.h intended for arch code to use in its user_regset get and set functions. These make it pretty easy to deal with the interface's optional kernel-space or user-space pointers and its generalized access to a part of the register data at a time. In simple cases where the internal data structure matches the exported layout (core dump format), a get function can be nothing but a call to user_regset_copyout, and a set function a call to user_regset_copyin. In other cases the exported layout is usually made up of a few pieces each stored contiguously in a different internal data structure. These helpers make it straightforward to write a get or set function by processing each contiguous chunk of the data in order. The start_pos and end_pos arguments are always constants, so these inlines collapse to a small amount of code. Signed-off-by:

This modifies the ELF core dump code under #ifdef CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET. It changes nothing when this macro is not defined. When it's #define'd by some arch header (e.g. asm/elf.h), the arch must support the user_regset (linux/regset.h) interface for reading thread state. This provides an alternate version of note segment writing that is based purely on the user_regset interfaces. When CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET is set, the arch need not define macros such as ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS and ELF_ARCH. All that information is taken from the user_regset data structures. The core dumps come out exactly the same if arch's definitions for its user_regset details are correct. Signed-off-by:

This pulls out the code for writing the notes segment of an ELF core dump into separate functions. This cleanly isolates into one cluster of functions everything that deals with the note formats and the hooks into arch code to fill them. The top-level elf_core_dump function itself now deals purely with the generic ELF format and the memory segments. This only moves code around into functions that can be inlined away. It should not change any behavior at all. Signed-off-by:

The new header <linux/regset.h> defines the types struct user_regset and struct user_regset_view, with some associated declarations. This new set of interfaces will become the standard way for arch code to expose user-mode machine-specific state. A single set of entry points into arch code can do all the low-level work in one place to fill the needs of core dumps, ptrace, and any other user-mode debugging facilities that might come along in the future. For existing arch code to adapt to the user_regset interfaces, each arch can work from the code it already has to support core files and ptrace. The formats you want for user_regset are the core file formats. The only wrinkle in adapting old ptrace implementation code as user_regset get and set functions is that these functions can be called on current as well as on another task_struct that is stopped and switched out as for ptrace. For some kinds of machine state, you may have to load it directly from CPU registers or otherwise differently for current than for another thread. (Your core dump support already handles this in elf_core_copy_regs for current and elf_core_copy_task_regs for other tasks, so just check there.) The set function should also be made to work on current in case that entails some special cases, though this was never required before for ptrace. Adding this flexibility covers the arch needs to open the door to more sophisticated new debugging facilities that don't always need to context-switch to do every little thing. The copyin/copyout helper functions (in a later patch) relieve the arch code of most of the cumbersome details of the flexible get/set interfaces. Signed-off-by:

This patch moves i387 definitions from processor_32.h and processor_64.h to processor.h. They are different. Very different. And there's appearently nothing we can do about it, so they're enclosed inside ifdefs. Signed-off-by:

This patch moves the TASK_ALIGN constraints to common header. The base of it is the same for x86_64 and i386. The only difference is the presence of vSMP in x86_64. As it's not a worry in i386, we can safely use the same code for both. Signed-off-by:

Paravirt guests need to inform the underlying hypervisor whenever the sp0 tss field changes. i386 already has such a function, and we use it for x86_64 too. There's an unnecessary (for 64-bit) msr handling part in the original version, and it is placed around an ifdef. Making no more sense in processor_32.h, it is moved to the common header Signed-off-by:

Although slighly different, the tss_struct is very similar in x86_64 and i386. The really different part, which matchs the hardware vision of it, is now called x86_hw_tss, and each of the architectures provides yours. It's then used as a field in the outter tss_struct. Signed-off-by:

This patch moves the definition of set_iopl_mask to processor.h, instead of letting it at processor_32.h. For x86_64, nothing is done, as we don't really need such a function. However, having it on both arches saves us from putting an ifdef in the pv_cpu_ops struct. Signed-off-by:
