7ca0758cdb x86-32, vdso: On system call restart after SYSENTER, use int $0x80
When we enter a 32-bit system call via SYSENTER or SYSCALL, we shuffle
the arguments to match the int $0x80 calling convention.  This was
probably a design mistake, but it's what it is now.  This causes
errors if the system call as to be restarted.

For SYSENTER, we have to invoke the instruction from the vdso as the
return address is hardcoded.  Accordingly, we can simply replace the
jump in the vdso with an int $0x80 instruction and use the slower
entry point for a post-restart.

742fa54a62 x86: use generic register names in struct sigcontext
Switch struct sigcontext (defined in <asm/sigcontext*.h>) to using
register names withut e- or r-prefixes for both 32- and 64-bit x86.
This is intended as a preliminary step in unifying this code between
architectures.

cadd516422 x86 vDSO: canonicalize sysenter .eh_frame
Some assembler versions automagically optimize .eh_frame contents,
changing their size.  The CFI in sysenter.S was not using optimal
formatting, so it would be changed by newer/smarter assemblers.
This ran afoul of the wired constant for padding out the other vDSO
images to match its size.  This changes the original hand-coded
source to use the optimal format encoding for its operations.  That
leaves nothing more for a fancy assembler to do, so the sizes will
match the wired-in expected size regardless of the assembler version.

69d0627a7f x86 vDSO: reorder vdso32 code
This reorders the code in the 32-bit vDSO images to put the signal
trampolines first and __kernel_vsyscall after them.  The order does
not matter to userland, it just uses what AT_SYSINFO or e_entry
says.  Since the signal trampolines are the same size in both
versions of the vDSO, putting them first is the simplest way to get
the addresses to line up.  This makes it work to use a more compact
layout for the vDSO.

00f8b1bc0e x86 vDSO: ia32 vdso32-syscall build
This puts the syscall version of the 32-bit vDSO in arch/x86/vdso/vdso32/
for 64-bit IA32 support.  This is not used yet, but it paves the way for
consolidating the 32-bit vDSO source and build logic all in one place.

to replace the old one from arch/x86/kernel/.

0249c9c1e7 x86 vDSO: vdso32 build
This builds the 32-bit vDSO images in the arch/x86/vdso subdirectory.
Nothing uses the images yet, but this paves the way for consolidating
the vDSO build logic all in one place.  The new images use a linker
script sharing the layout parts from vdso-layout.lds.S with the 64-bit
vDSO.  A new vdso32-syms.lds is generated in the style of vdso-syms.lds.

This moves the i386 vDSO sources into arch/x86/vdso/vdso32/, a
new directory.  This patch is a pure renaming, but paves the way
for consolidating the vDSO build logic.
