2011-06-03x86, asm: Fix binutils 2.16 issue with __USER32_CSBorislav Petkov
While testing the patchset at http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1306873314-32523-1-git-send-email-bp@alien8.de with binutils 2.16.1 from hell, kernel build fails with the following error: arch/x86/ia32/ia32entry.S: Assembler messages: arch/x86/ia32/ia32entry.S:139: Error: too many positional arguments make[2]: *** [arch/x86/ia32/ia32entry.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [arch/x86/ia32] Error 2 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make: *** [arch/x86] Error 2 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... due to spaces between the operators of the __USER32_CS define. Fix it so that gas 2.16 can swallow it too. Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1307131642-32595-1-git-send-email-bp@alien8.de Signed-off-by: H.

2011-02-17x86: Make the GDT_ENTRY() macro in <asm/segment.h> safe for assemblyH. Peter Anvin
Make the GDT_ENTRY() macro in <asm/segment.h> safe for use in assembly code by guarding the ULL suffixes with _AC() macros. Signed-off-by: H.

2010-10-19x86, asm: Fix CFI macro invocations to deal with shortcomings in gasJan Beulich
gas prior to (perhaps) 2.16.90 has problems with passing non- parenthesized expressions containing spaces to macros. Spaces, however, get inserted by cpp between any macro expanding to a number and a subsequent + or -. For the +, current x86 gas then removes the space again (future gas may not do so), but for the - the space gets retained and is then considered a separator between macro arguments. Fix the respective definitions for both the - and + cases, so that they neither contain spaces nor make cpp insert any (the latter by adding seemingly redundant parentheses).

2009-02-10x86: implement x86_32 stack protectorTejun Heo
Impact: stack protector for x86_32 Implement stack protector for x86_32. GDT entry 28 is used for it. It's set to point to stack_canary-20 and have the length of 24 bytes. CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR turns off CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and sets %gs to the stack canary segment on entry. As %gs is otherwise unused by the kernel, the canary can be anywhere. It's defined as a percpu variable. x86_32 exception handlers take register frame on stack directly as struct pt_regs. With -fstack-protector turned on, gcc copies the whole structure after the stack canary and (of course) doesn't copy back on return thus losing all changed. For now, -fno-stack-protector is added to all files which contain those functions. We definitely need something better.

2008-10-22x86: Fix ASM_X86__ header guardsH. Peter Anvin
Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since: a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless. b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
