Subject: [PATCH v2 0/6] Baby steps toward cleaning up KERNEL_STACK_OFFSET
Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2015 19:19:01 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1425611534.git.luto@amacapital.net> (raw)
Denys is right that KERNEL_STACK_OFFSET is a mess. Let's start fixing
it.
This removes all C code that *reads* kernel_stack. It also fixes the
KERNEL_STACK_OFFSET abomination in ia32_sysenter_target.
It does not fix the KERNEL_STACK_OFFSET abomination in GET_THREAD_INFO
and THREAD_INFO. I think that should be its own patch.
It also doesn't change the two syscall targets. To fix them, we should
make a decision. Either we should make KERNEL_STACK_OFFSET have the
correct nonzero value to save an instruction or we should get rid of
kernel_stack entirely.
Changes from v1:
- Fix missing export.
- Fix lguest code.
- Add more init_tss naming cleanups (Ingo's suggestion).
- Changelog improvements (Ingo).
- Improve the check in ist_begin_non_atomic (Denys).
Andy Lutomirski (6):
x86: Add this_cpu_sp0() to read sp0 for the current cpu
x86: Switch all C consumers of kernel_stack to this_cpu_sp0
x86, asm: Change the 32-bit sysenter code to use sp0
x86: Rename init_tss to cpu_tss
x86: Remove INIT_TSS and fold the definitions into cpu_tss
x86, asm: Rename INIT_TSS_IST to TSS_IST
