[IA64] sparse "long" constant cleanup patch

2004-10-05T18:25:21Z

Sparse wants us to be clear about (unsigned) long constants. Make it so. Signed-off-by: David Mosberger-Tang Signed-off-by: Tony Luck

ia64: Fix off-by-1 error in imm60 patching. The bug hasn't been observed

in practice, but it's clearly wrong and just waiting there to get triggered...

ia64: Important security fix for fsyscalls. Without this patch, the McKinley E9

workaround caused fsyscalls to return with the wrong privilege level. This patch also adds fsys_rt_sigprocmask(), which happens to be a good test-case for this bug. Only McKinley systems using fsyscalls are affected. Merced and Madison are OK.

ia64: Take advantage of .

ia64: Still more gate DSO tuning. Turns out a linker bug prevented

2003-06-13T17:39:07Z

us from building the gate DSO in a way that makes it fit in <= 1 page. If a fixed linker is available, we do it in this space-saving way now. Otherwise, we'll do it the old way (the gate DSO will then take up about 18KB instead of just ~3KB). Thanks to Roland McGrath for making this all work.

ia64: Minor cleanups: export more symbols, remove uncessary stop bits.

ia64: don't forget to establish coherence after vtop patching

ia64: Build the gate page(s) as an ELF DSO.

Remove CONFIG_FSYS option (it's the default now). Consolidate the various instruction patching routines into a single file (patch.c).
