v2 cover x86: Rewrite all syscall entries except native 64-bit

The first two patches are optimizations that I'm surprised we didn't already have. I noticed them when I was looking at the generated asm.

The next two patches are tests and some old stuff. There's a test that validates the vDSO AT_SYSINFO annotations. There's also a test that exercises some assumptions that signal handling and ptracers make about syscalls that currently do *not* hold on 64-bit AMD using 32-bit AT_SYSINFO.

The next three patches are NT cleanups and a lockdep cleanup.

It may pay to apply the beginning of the series (at most through "x86/entry/64/compat: After SYSENTER, move STI after the NT fixup") without waiting for everyone to wrap their heads around the rest.

The rest is basically a rewrite of syscalls for all cases except 64-bit native. With these patches applied, there is a single 32-bit vDSO and it uses SYSCALL, SYSENTER, and INT80 almost interchangeably via alternatives. The semantics of SYSENTER and SYSCALL are defined as:

1. If SYSCALL, ESP = ECX
2. ECX = *ESP
3. IP = INT80 landing pad
4. Opportunistic SYSRET/SYSEXIT is enabled on return

The vDSO is rearranged so that these semantics work. Anything that backs IP up by 2 ends up pointing at a bona fide int $0x80 instruction with the expected regs.

In the process, the vDSO CFI annotations (which are actually used) get rewritten using normal CFI directives.

Opportunistic SYSRET/SYSEXIT only happens on return when CS and SS are as expected, IP points to the INT80 landing pad, and flags are in good shape. (There is no longer any assumption that full fast-path 32-bit syscalls don't muck with the registers that matter for fast exits -- I played with maintaining an optimization like that with poor results. I may try again if it saves a few cycles.)

Other than that, the system call entries are simplified to the bare minimum prologue and a call to a C function. Amusingly, SYSENTER and SYSCALL32 use the same C function.

To make that work, I had to remove all the 32-bit syscall stubs except the clone argument hack. This is because, for C code to call through the system call table, the system call table entries need to be real function pointers with C-compatible ABIs.

There is nothing at all anymore that requires that x86_32 syscalls be asmlinkage. That could be removed in a subsequent patch.

The upshot appears to be a ~16 cycle performance hit on 32-bit fast path syscalls. (On my system, my little prctl test takes 172 cycles before and 188 cycles with these patches applied.)

The slow path is probably faster under most circumstances and, if the exit slow path gets hit, it'll be much faster because (as we already do in the 64-bit native case) we can still use SYSEXIT/SYSRET.

The patchset is structured as a removal of the old fast syscall code, then the change that makes syscalls into real functions, then a clean re-implementation of fast syscalls.

If we want some of the 25 cycles back, we could consider open-coding a new C fast path.

Changes from v1:
- The unwind_vdso_32 test now warns on broken Debian installations instead of failing. The problem is now fully understood, will be fixed by Debian and possibly also fixed by upstream glibc.
- execve was rather broken in v1.
- It's quite a bit faster now (the optimizations at the end are mostly new).
- int80 on 64-bit no longer clobbers extra regs (thanks Denys!).
- The uaccess stuff is new.
- Lots of other things that I forgot, I'm sure.

Well, adding likely/unlikely hints in headers is OK I think, especially since these are performance sensitive user-access routines.

PATCH v2 3/36 selftests/x86: Add a test for vDSO unwinding

In reply to Andy Lutomirski

While the kernel itself doesn't use DWARF unwinding, user code expects to be able to unwind the vDSO. The vsyscall (AT_SYSINFO) entry is manually CFI-annotated, and this tests that it unwinds correctly.

I tested the test by incorrectly annotating __kernel_vsyscall, and the test indeed fails if I do that.

selftests/x86: Add a test for vDSO unwinding

While the kernel itself doesn't use DWARF unwinding, user code expects to be able to unwind the vDSO. The vsyscall (AT_SYSINFO) entry is manually CFI-annotated, and this tests that it unwinds correctly.

I tested the test by incorrectly annotating __kernel_vsyscall, and the test indeed fails if I do that.

PATCH v2 4/36 selftests/x86: Add a test for syscall restart and arg modification

In reply to Andy Lutomirski

This tests assumptions about how fast syscall works wrt pt_regs and, in particular, what happens if IP is decremented by 2 during a syscall.

This is an optimization, since NT is unlikely to be set. The forward branch is usually predicted as not taken, and it keeps these rarely used instructions out of the hot cache.

Ah, slick. Because branch predictors mark new branches as not taken and this particular one will remain non-taken in the majority of the cases. I think this warrants a mention in the comment above it though...

PATCH v2 6/36 x86/entry: Move lockdep_sys_exit to prepare_exit_to_usermode

In reply to Andy Lutomirski

Rather than worrying about exactly where LOCKDEP_SYS_EXIT should go in the asm code, add it to prepare_exit_from_usermode and remove all of the asm calls that are followed by prepare_exit_to_usermode.

LOCKDEP_SYS_EXIT now appears only in the syscall fast paths.

x86/entry, locking/lockdep: Move lockdep_sys_exit() to prepare_exit_to_usermode()

Rather than worrying about exactly where LOCKDEP_SYS_EXIT should go in the asm code, add it to prepare_exit_from_usermode() and remove all of the asm calls that are followed by prepare_exit_to_usermode().

LOCKDEP_SYS_EXIT now appears only in the syscall fast paths.

Does that not pose a risk that something that always takes the slow path (signals? tracing?) will leak a lock to userspace?

No, because while LOCKDEP_SYS_EXIT only happens in the fast path, lockdep_sys_exit (lowercase) will get called in the other cases.

The sequence of "push + insn_using_rsp" is a bit slow on most CPUs because stack engine (the machinery which makes consecutive pushes fast) needs syncronizing with register file.

It may be better to move the ORL insn here:

	push, push, push

where we already eat that penalty.

I played with it a bit. It seems to save one cycle, which is probably worthwhile.

I think that the gain is small because neither case is particular bad. I read Agner Fog's writeup on the stack engine. I think that, with the code as written in my patch, the µops are, roughly:

store $__USER32_DS to [rsp - 0]
store $rcx to [rsp - 8]
store flags to [rsp - 12]
sync rsp (rsp -= 12)
<-- wait for ALU here
or $X86_EFLAGS_IF, $rsp (might be two µops)
store $__USER32_CS to [rsp]
...
sync rsp (rsp -= something)
<-- wait for ALU here
testl ...

with the change, it's:
store $__USER32_DS to [rsp - 0]
store $rcx to [rsp - 8]
store flags to [rsp - 12]
store $__USER32_CS to [rsp-16]
...
sync rsp (rsp -= something)
sync rsp (rsp -= 12)
<-- wait for ALU here
or $X86_EFLAGS_IF, EFLAGS($rsp) (might be two µops) testl ...

So the change removes one rsp sync and one wait. On the other hand, the ALU is probably otherwise idle for most of this sequence, so the latency is probably almost entirely hidden because the dispatcher can do the rsp syncs much earlier than they appear before reordering.

Also, deferring the orl makes the code longer and adds an address calculation, and both of those may have some cost. And moving the orl right before the testl worsens that dependency. It's too bad we don't have orx on all supported CPUs.

Anyway, it's still a win, but I'll keep playing. There may be even better ways to do this.

IF should normally be set in userspace, but since SYSENTER doesn't save the old flags and always clears IF when entering the kernel, the flags pushed on the stack will always have IF clear.

PATCH v2 8/36 x86/vdso: Remove runtime 32-bit vDSO selection

In reply to Andy Lutomirski

32-bit userspace will now always see the same vDSO, which is exactly what used to be the int80 vDSO. Subsequent patches will clean it up and make it support SYSENTER and SYSCALL using alternatives.

x86/vdso: Remove runtime 32-bit vDSO selection

32-bit userspace will now always see the same vDSO, which is exactly what used to be the int80 vDSO. Subsequent patches will clean it up and make it support SYSENTER and SYSCALL using alternatives.

x86/vdso: Remove runtime 32-bit vDSO selection

32-bit userspace will now always see the same vDSO, which is exactly what used to be the int80 vDSO. Subsequent patches will clean it up and make it support SYSENTER and SYSCALL using alternatives.

This doesn't make sense to apply without the rest of the series.

PATCH v2 9/36 x86/asm: Re-add manual CFI infrastructure

In reply to Andy Lutomirski

Commit 131484c8da97 ("x86/debug: Remove perpetually broken, unmaintainable dwarf annotations") removed all the manual DWARF annotations outside the vDSO. It also removed the macros we used for the manual annotations.

Re-add the macros so that we can clean up the vDSO annotations.

OK, I'll strip out the push, movq, etc stuff for v3. I'll leave all of the CFI_XYZ macros, even the unused one, because that's only a couple of lines of code and they all have very simple and obvious meanings (or as simple as the underlying directives, anyway).

If they're going to be used by the vDSO only, maybe they all should go into a header which is private to the vDSO only so that people don't get any ideas and the gunk starts spreading again...

Yeah. So for the vDSO code itself it's an obvious step forward: replacing black magic hexa encodings with symbolic directives.

So it's exactly such hacks why I dislike the old CFI code:

1)

Emitting assembler directives from .h files is just disgusting. What's wrong with adding it to the .c file, so that it becomes obvious to everyone what's going on? Or if it's possible, do it in the build command line - the vDSO is built in a different way anyway.

2)

Could we require that to build the vDSO you need CFI capable tooling? All other tooling is probably on very ancient systems which can live with only having the vsyscall and the regular int80 entry methods, or something like that.

So could you please clean this all up instead of reintroducing old hacks? I'll apply the patches and see how well they work to move things forward, but this part is disgusting and needs to be resolved.

Thanks,

Ingo

PATCH v2 11/36 x86/vdso: Replace hex int80 CFI annotations with gas directives

In reply to Andy Lutomirski

Maintaining the current CFI annotations written in R'lyehian is difficult for most of us. Translate them to something a little closer to English.

This will remove the CFI data for kernels built with extremely old versions of binutils. I think this is a fair tradeoff for the ability for mortals to edit the asm.

PATCH v2 13/36 x86/vdso/32: Save extra registers in the INT80 vsyscall path

In reply to Andy Lutomirski

The goal is to integrate the SYSENTER and SYSCALL32 entry paths with the INT80 path. SYSENTER clobbers ESP and EIP. SYSCALL32 clobbers ECX (and, invisibly, R11). SYSRETL (long mode to compat mode) clobbers ECX and, invisibly, R11. SYSEXIT (which we only need for native 32-bit) clobbers ECX and EDX.

This means that we'll need to provide ESP to the kernel in a register (I chose ECX, since it's only needed for SYSENTER) and we need to provide the args that normally live in ECX and EDX in memory.

The epilogue needs to restore ECX and EDX, since user code relies on regs being preserved.

We don't need to do anything special about EIP, since the kernel already knows where we are. The kernel will eventually need to know where int $0x80 lands, so add a vdso_image entry for it.

The only user-visible effect of this code is that ptrace-induced changes to ECX and EDX during fast syscalls will be lost. This is already the case for the SYSENTER path.

Probably. I really hope that no one does that. Given how problematic those instructions are outside the vdso, it would have to be a rather strange reproducer.

x86/entry/64/compat: Remove audit optimizations

These audit optimizations are messy and hard to maintain. We'll get a similar effect from opportunistic sysret when fast compat system calls are re-implemented.

PATCH v2 16/36 x86/entry/64/compat: Remove most of the fast system call machinery

In reply to Andy Lutomirski

We now have only one code path that calls through the compat syscall table. This will make it much more pleasant to change the pt_regs vs register calling convention, which we need to do to move the call into C.

x86/entry/64/compat: Remove most of the fast system call machinery

We now have only one code path that calls through the compat syscall table. This will make it much more pleasant to change the pt_regs vs register calling convention, which we need to do to move the call into C.

PATCH v2 17/36 x86/entry/64/compat: Set up full pt_regs for all compat syscalls

In reply to Andy Lutomirski

This is conceptually simpler. More importantly, it eliminates the PTREGSCALL and execve stubs, which were not compatible with the C ABI. This means that C code can call through the compat syscall table.

The execve stubs are a bit subtle. They did two things: they cleared some registers and they forced slow-path return. Neither is necessary any more: elf_common_init clears the extra registers and start_thread calls force_iret().

PATCH v2 18/36 x86/entry/syscalls: Move syscall table declarations into asm/syscalls.h

In reply to Andy Lutomirski

The header was missing some compat declarations.

Also make sys_call_ptr_t have a consistent type.

PATCH v2 19/36 x86/syscalls: Give sys_call_ptr_t a useful type

In reply to Andy Lutomirski

Syscalls are asmlinkage functions (on 32-bit kernels), take six args of type unsigned long, and return long. Note that uml could probably be slightly cleaned up on top of this patch.

This handles both SYSENTER and SYSCALL. The asm glue will take care of the differences.

This seems non-optimal.

.. so this is the fast case on 32-bit, but:

this is expensive. Since we now do it in C code and can easily do this, why does the code not do this all with interrupts disabled, which is valid for user accesses but disables page faults, and then in the unlikely situation where that fails, we do it the slow and careful way?

It would be nice to see this patch series not just get rid of asm code, but also do things to optimize cases that used to be annoyingly hard to do in user space. No?

Ok. I notice that then a later patch removes the local_irq_disable() and calls do_syscall_32_irqs_on().

So I guess that "just run get_user with interrupts disabled" optimization is pointless, because we'll just end up enabling interrupts at some point anyway, and it can just be done before the get_user().

So never mind.

I'll improve the changelog. This is all clear in my head, but I could certainly describe it better.

I tried to structure this as much as possible as simple unoptimized changes that would be easyish to understand from a correctness perspective and then to optimize at the end.

PATCH v2 23/36 x86/vdso/compat: Wire up SYSENTER and SYSCSALL for compat userspace

In reply to Andy Lutomirski

What, you didn't realize that SYSENTER and SYSCALL were actually the same thing? :)

Unlike the old code, this actually passes the ptrace_syscall_32 test on AMD systems.

PATCH v2 24/36 x86/entry/compat: Implement opportunistic SYSRETL for compat syscalls

In reply to Andy Lutomirski

If CS, SS and IP are as expected and FLAGS is compatible with SYSRETL, then return from fast compat syscalls (both SYSCALL and SYSENTER) using SYSRETL.

Unlike native 64-bit opportunistic SYSRET, this is not invisible to user code: RCX and R8-R15 end up in a different state than shown saved in pt_regs. To compensate, we only do this when returning to the vDSO fast syscall return path. This won't interfere with syscall restart, as we won't use SYSRETL when returning to the INT80 restart instruction.

This could've used some readability massaging:

Why not write it like the 64-bit opportunistic SYSRET:

	if (regs->ss != __USER_DS)
		return 0;

PATCH v2 25/36 x86/entry/32: Open-code return tracking from fork and kthreads

In reply to Andy Lutomirski

syscall_exit is going away, and return tracing is just a function call now, so open-code the two non-syscall 32-bit users.

While we're at it, update the big register layout comment.

x86/entry/32: Open-code return tracking from fork and kthreads

syscall_exit is going away, and return tracing is just a function call now, so open-code the two non-syscall 32-bit users.

While we're at it, update the big register layout comment.

Can you turn that entry_INT80_32 address into either a line number of some assembly code? I'm not seeing the code path that could do this, and there are two unlikely choices.

Based on the warning that triggered, I assume you have CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y, which means that the obvious failures that would have blown up like this should also have warned earlier.

Can you turn that entry_INT80_32 address into either a line number of some assembly code? I'm not seeing the code path that could do this, and there are two unlikely choices.

Why, that's the TRACE_IRQS_OFF at the end of entry_INT80_32. It calls trace_hardirqs_off_caller through the thunk. That's pretty obvious. Or am I misunderstanding you?

Sounds like the gate didn't disable IRQs, right? Or did the irqs_disabled() check get tricked into looking at the wrong flags...? But I don't see it. Hmmm..

yes.

which means that the obvious failures that would have blown up like this should also have warned earlier.

If you mean, earlier in the boot, the only splat before that one is (see the "not tainted").

Hmm, something more is b0rked with this. I'm attaching a #GP splat from the intel laptop. Yeah, the box has paniced and the only way to catch it is a photo (how convenient that cameras are ubiquitous nowadays...).

I see prepare_exit_to_usermode and do_signal ...

Fun stuff :-\

Is this AMD or Intel? If it's Intel, can you see if booting with nosep fixes it?

Can you turn that entry_INT80_32 address into either a line number of some assembly code? I'm not seeing the code path that could do this, and there are two unlikely choices.

Why, that's the TRACE_IRQS_OFF at the end of entry_INT80_32. It calls trace_hardirqs_off_caller through the thunk. That's pretty obvious. Or am I misunderstanding you?

I was thinking it could also be TRACE_IRQS_IRETQ, but I was wrong (that would be trace_hardirqs_on_caller).

Sounds like the gate didn't disable IRQs, right? Or did the irqs_disabled() check get tricked into looking at the wrong flags...? But I don't see it. Hmmm..

Wow I am incompetent.

The INT80 handler doesn't do anything that requires interrupts to be off (it is already on the process stack), so the tracing should be fixed to expect interrupts on. do_int80_syscall_32() can be eliminated too.

Good point. Then we blow up in potentially interesting ways if an iopl-using process does int80 with interrupts off. Oh well.

The code this replaced ran with interrupts enabled too, so I don't see this as a regression. Usermode drivers could already blow up the system in many different ways. I doubt there were any that actually did a system call while interrupts were disabled.

PATCH v2 28/36 x86/asm: Remove thread_info.sysenter_return

In reply to Andy Lutomirski

It's no longer needed.

We could reinstate something like it as an optimization, which would remove two cachelines from the fast syscall entry working set. I benchmarked it, and it makes no difference whatsoever to the performance of cache-hot compat syscalls on Sandy Bridge.

x86/asm: Remove thread_info.sysenter_return

It's no longer needed.

We could reinstate something like it as an optimization, which would remove two cachelines from the fast syscall entry working set. I benchmarked it, and it makes no difference whatsoever to the performance of cache-hot compat syscalls on Sandy Bridge.

we're following a 32-bit pointer, and the uaccess code isn't smart enough to figure out that the access_ok check isn't needed.

This saves about three cycles on a cache-hot fast syscall.

Another request: could you please stick the benchmarking code of the various x86 system call variants into 'perf bench' - under tools/perf/bench/, so that measurements can be done on more hardware and can be reproduced easily?

I'd suggest we dedicate an entirely new benchmark family to it: 'perf bench x86' and then have:

perf bench x86 syscall vdso
perf bench x86 syscall int80
perf bench x86 syscall vdso-compat

or so?

( I have some perf bench cleanups in -tip, so if you do this please base it on top
of that. )

Thanks,

Ingo

I'll play with this. I'm not too familiar with the perf bench stuff.

So the perf bench stuff is meant to be a familiar home to kernel developers we'd like to slap a micro (or macro) benchmark into an easy to modify place.

Over the years it has gathered a number of benchmarks - but more are always welcome.

Just copy one of the existing benchmark modules (the tools/perf/bench/numa.c one is the most advanced one, tools/perf/bench/sched-pipe.c is the simplest one) and off you go.

Here's a commit that adds a new benchmark suite:

a043971141f1 ("perf bench: Add futex-hash microbenchmark")

There are no big restrictions on the benchmarks: just put your existing code in that produces stdout output and it will be likely very close to upstream acceptable.

Can help should you get stuck anywhere.

Thanks,

Ingo

PATCH v2 34/36 x86/entry: Use pt_regs_to_thread_info() in syscall entry tracing

In reply to Andy Lutomirski

It generates simpler and faster code than current_thread_info().

PATCH v2 35/36 x86/entry: Split and inline prepare_exit_to_usermode

In reply to Andy Lutomirski

GCC is unable to properly optimize functions that have a very short likely case and a longer and register-heavier cold part -- it fails to sink all of the register saving and stack frame setup code into the unlikely part.

Help it out with prepare_exit_to_usermode by splitting it into two parts and inline the hot part.

Saves 6-8 cycles for compat syscalls.

The patchset is structured as a removal of the old fast syscall code, then the change that makes syscalls into real functions, then a clean re-implementation of fast syscalls.

If we want some of the 25 cycles back, we could consider open-coding a new C fast path.

Ok, the 25 cycles are apparently just 12 cycles. Did you forget to update that after doing some of the optimizations - or is it 25 cycles on 64-bit and 12 cycles on 32-bit?

But regardless, I've read through the series twice, and I don't see anything wrong. The one thing I thought I noticed ended up being mooted by a patch later in the series.

Of course, this is the kind of code where reading the patch doesn't necessarily catch any of the really subtle problems at all, but you seem to have tested it fairly heavily too.

So ACK on the whole series. I don't mind a few cycles for the fast case if it means it's more maintainable, and sadly I suspect that with so many distributions using audit functionality, the fast case is almost unheard of anyway, and the fact that you sped up the slow case is what matters more. Snif.

I'd like to see this as a git tree, with your longish explanation as the pull request for the x86 merge, so that that gets saved for posterity too in the kernel commit logs. But that's between you and Ingo or whoever ends up being the person who picks this up.

Yeah, will make sure that description gets preserved.

Will wait a days or so for reviews to trickle in before applying the patches, but this looks really good so far, kudos Andy!

Thanks,

Ingo

The patchset is structured as a removal of the old fast syscall code, then the change that makes syscalls into real functions, then a clean re-implementation of fast syscalls.

If we want some of the 25 cycles back, we could consider open-coding a new C fast path.

Ok, the 25 cycles are apparently just 12 cycles. Did you forget to update that after doing some of the optimizations - or is it 25 cycles on 64-bit and 12 cycles on 32-bit?

Forgot to update. I'll fix this in v3. I'll also re-benchmark on native 32-bit, which is a bit easier now that I figured out why my Debian VM couldn't do fast syscalls. (Hint: if you have a 32-bit Debian or Debian-derived setup without libc6-i686 installed, install it and everything works better.)

The first two patches are optimizations that I'm surprised we didn't already have. I noticed them when I was looking at the generated asm.

The next two patches are tests and some old stuff. There's a test that validates the vDSO AT_SYSINFO annotations. There's also a test that exercises some assumptions that signal handling and ptracers make about syscalls that currently do *not* hold on 64-bit AMD using 32-bit AT_SYSINFO.

The next three patches are NT cleanups and a lockdep cleanup.

It may pay to apply the beginning of the series (at most through "x86/entry/64/compat: After SYSENTER, move STI after the NT fixup") without waiting for everyone to wrap their heads around the rest.

The rest is basically a rewrite of syscalls for all cases except 64-bit native. With these patches applied, there is a single 32-bit vDSO and it uses SYSCALL, SYSENTER, and INT80 almost interchangeably via alternatives. The semantics of SYSENTER and SYSCALL are defined as:

1. If SYSCALL, ESP = ECX
2. ECX = *ESP
3. IP = INT80 landing pad
4. Opportunistic SYSRET/SYSEXIT is enabled on return

The vDSO is rearranged so that these semantics work. Anything that backs IP up by 2 ends up pointing at a bona fide int $0x80 instruction with the expected regs.

In the process, the vDSO CFI annotations (which are actually used) get rewritten using normal CFI directives.

Opportunistic SYSRET/SYSEXIT only happens on return when CS and SS are as expected, IP points to the INT80 landing pad, and flags are in good shape. (There is no longer any assumption that full fast-path 32-bit syscalls don't muck with the registers that matter for fast exits -- I played with maintaining an optimization like that with poor results. I may try again if it saves a few cycles.)

Other than that, the system call entries are simplified to the bare minimum prologue and a call to a C function. Amusingly, SYSENTER and SYSCALL32 use the same C function.

To make that work, I had to remove all the 32-bit syscall stubs except the clone argument hack. This is because, for C code to call through the system call table, the system call table entries need to be real function pointers with C-compatible ABIs.

There is nothing at all anymore that requires that x86_32 syscalls be asmlinkage. That could be removed in a subsequent patch.

The upshot appears to be a ~16 cycle performance hit on 32-bit fast path syscalls. (On my system, my little prctl test takes 172 cycles before and 188 cycles with these patches applied.)

The slow path is probably faster under most circumstances and, if the exit slow path gets hit, it'll be much faster because (as we already do in the 64-bit native case) we can still use SYSEXIT/SYSRET.

The patchset is structured as a removal of the old fast syscall code, then the change that makes syscalls into real functions, then a clean re-implementation of fast syscalls.

If we want some of the 25 cycles back, we could consider open-coding a new C fast path.

Changes from v1:
- The unwind_vdso_32 test now warns on broken Debian installations instead of failing. The problem is now fully understood, will be fixed by Debian and possibly also fixed by upstream glibc.
- execve was rather broken in v1.
- It's quite a bit faster now (the optimizations at the end are mostly new).
- int80 on 64-bit no longer clobbers extra regs (thanks Denys!).
- The uaccess stuff is new.
- Lots of other things that I forgot, I'm sure.

Ok, so I applied all of them to tip:x86/asm, in two phases, with small (stylistic) edits - it all seems to work fine for me so far, so I pushed it all out to -tip and linux-next.

Thanks,

Andy, I suspect UML's syscall.h needs the sys_call_ptr_t type too?

Whoops, yes. UML has some weird casts in the syscall code that might be removable with that change, too. Want to fix it or should I?
