      x86/cpu_entry_area: Sync cpu_entry_area to initial_page_table · 945fd17a
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      The separation of the cpu_entry_area from the fixmap missed the fact that
      on 32bit non-PAE kernels the cpu_entry_area mapping might not be covered in
      initial_page_table by the previous synchronizations.
      
      This results in suspend/resume failures because 32bit utilizes initial page
      table for resume. The absence of the cpu_entry_area mapping results in a
      triple fault, aka. insta reboot.
      
      With PAE enabled this works by chance because the PGD entry which covers
      the fixmap and other parts incindentally provides the cpu_entry_area
      mapping as well.
      
      Synchronize the initial page table after setting up the cpu entry
      area. Instead of adding yet another copy of the same code, move it to a
      function and invoke it from the various places.
      
      It needs to be investigated if the existing calls in setup_arch() and
      setup_per_cpu_areas() can be replaced by the later invocation from
      setup_cpu_entry_areas(), but that's beyond the scope of this fix.
      
      Fixes: 92a0f81d ("x86/cpu_entry_area: Move it out of the fixmap")

      x86/entry/64: Use 'xorl' for faster register clearing · ced5d0bf
      Dominik Brodowski authored
      On some x86 CPU microarchitectures using 'xorq' to clear general-purpose
      registers is slower than 'xorl'. As 'xorl' is sufficient to clear all
      64 bits of these registers due to zero-extension [*], switch the x86
      64-bit entry code to use 'xorl'.
      
      No change in functionality and no change in code size.
      
      [*] According to Intel 64 and IA-32 Architecture Software Developer's
          Manual, section 3.4.1.1, the result of 32-bit operands are "zero-
          extended to a 64-bit result in the destination general-purpose
          register." The AMD64 Architecture Programmer’s Manual Volume 3,
          Appendix B.1, describes the same behaviour.

      x86/entry: Reduce the code footprint of the 'idtentry' macro · 9e809d15
      Dominik Brodowski authored
      Play a little trick in the generic PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS macro
      to insert the GP registers "above" the original return address.
      
      This allows us to (re-)insert the macro in error_entry() and
      paranoid_entry() and to remove it from the idtentry macro. This
      reduces the static footprint significantly:

        24307	      0	      0	  24307	   5ef3	entry_64.o-orig
        20987	      0	      0	  20987	   51fb	entry_64.o
