From faa4602e47690fb11221e00f9b9697c8dc0d4b19 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 25 Mar 2010 14:51:50 +0100 Subject: x86, perf, bts, mm: Delete the never used BTS-ptrace code Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in v2.6.32, but we still have the old and disabled ptrace-BTS, as Linus noticed it not so long ago. It's buggy: TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is trampling all over that MSR without regard for other uses (perf) and doesn't provide the flexibility needed for perf either. Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts was never used and ptrace-block-step can be implemented using a much simpler approach. So axe all 3000 lines of it. That includes the *locked_memory*() APIs in mm/mlock.c as well.

Peter Anvin" Date: Fri, 23 Apr 2010 16:17:40 -0700 Subject: x86-64: Clear a 64-bit FS/GS base on fork if selector is nonzero When we do a thread switch, we clear the outgoing FS/GS base if the corresponding selector is nonzero. This is taken by __switch_to() as an entry invariant; it does not verify that it is true on entry. However, copy_thread() doesn't enforce this constraint, which can result in inconsistent results after fork(). Make copy_thread() match the behavior of __switch_to().

Since we wish to generalize fpu access to non-task contexts, wrap the state in a new 'struct fpu' and convert existing access to use an fpu API. Signal frame handlers are not converted to the API since they will remain task context only things.
