2017-08-29x86/ldttss: Clean up 32-bit descriptorsThomas Gleixner1-15/+12
Like the IDT descriptors, the LDT/TSS descriptors are pointlessly different on 32 and 64 bit kernels. Unify them and get rid of the duplicated code.

2017-08-29x86/gdt: Use bitfields for initializationThomas Gleixner1-24/+20
The GDT entry related code uses two ways to access entries via union fields: - bitfields - macros which initialize the two 16-bit parts of the entry by magic shift and mask operations. Clean it up and only use the bitfields to initialize and access entries. ( The old access patterns were partly done due to GCC optimizing bitfield accesses in a horrible way - that's mostly fixed these days and clarity of code in such low level accessors is very important. ) Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Cc: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com> Cc: H.

2017-08-29x86/idt: Unify gate_struct handling for 32/64-bit kernelsThomas Gleixner1-20/+37
The first 32 bits of gate struct are the same for 32 and 64 bit kernels. The 32-bit version uses desc_struct and no designated data structure, so we need different accessors for 32 and 64 bit kernels. Aside of that the macros which are necessary to build the 32-bit gate descriptor are horrible to read. Unify the gate structs and switch all code fiddling with it over.

2016-02-17x86/signal/64: Fix SS if needed when delivering a 64-bit signalAndy Lutomirski1-0/+23
Signals are always delivered to 64-bit tasks with CS set to a long mode segment. In long mode, SS doesn't matter as long as it's a present writable segment. If SS starts out invalid (this can happen if the signal was caused by an IRET fault or was delivered on the way out of set_thread_area or modify_ldt), then IRET to the signal handler can fail, eventually killing the task. The straightforward fix would be to simply reset SS when delivering a signal. That breaks DOSEMU, though: 64-bit builds of DOSEMU rely on SS being set to the faulting SS when signals are delivered. As a compromise, this patch leaves SS alone so long as it's valid. The net effect should be that the behavior of successfully delivered signals is unchanged. Some signals that would previously have failed to be delivered will now be delivered successfully. This has no effect for x32 or 32-bit tasks: their signal handlers were already called with SS == __USER_DS. (On Xen, there's a slight hole: if a task sets SS to a writable *kernel* data segment, then we will fail to identify it as invalid and we'll still kill the task. If anyone cares, this could be fixed with a new paravirt hook.)
