This patch implements save/restore of %gs in the kernel, so it can be
used for per-cpu data. This is not cheap, and we do it for UP as well
as SMP, which is stupid. Benchmarks, anyone?
Based on this patch by Jeremy Fitzhardinge:
From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
This patch is the meat of the PDA change. This patch makes several
related changes:
1: Most significantly, %gs is now used in the kernel. This means that on
entry, the old value of %gs is saved away, and it is reloaded with
__KERNEL_PDA.
2: entry.S constructs the stack in the shape of struct pt_regs, and this
is passed around the kernel so that the process's saved register
state can be accessed.
Unfortunately struct pt_regs doesn't currently have space for %gs
(or %fs). This patch extends pt_regs to add space for gs (no space
is allocated for %fs, since it won't be used, and it would just
complicate the code in entry.S to work around the space).
3: Because %gs is now saved on the stack like %ds, %es and the integer
registers, there are a number of places where it no longer needs to
be handled specially; namely context switch, and saving/restoring the
register state in a signal context.
4: And since kernel threads run in kernel space and call normal kernel
code, they need to be created with their %gs == __KERNEL_PDA.
NOTE: even though it's called "ptrace-abi.h", this file does not
define a user-space visible ABI.
And
+From: Ingo Molnar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
in the syscall exit path the %gs selector has to be restored _after_ the
last kernel function has been called. If lockdep is enabled then this
kernel function is TRACE_IRQS_ON.
