      x86: Fix rebuild with EFI_STUB enabled · 91870824
      Jan Beulich authored
      
      
      eboot.o and efi_stub_$(BITS).o didn't get added to "targets", and hence
      their .cmd files don't get included by the build machinery, leading to
      the files always getting rebuilt.
      
      Rather than adding the two files individually, take the opportunity and
      add $(VMLINUX_OBJS) to "targets" instead, thus allowing the assignment
      at the top of the file to be shrunk quite a bit.
      
      At the same time, remove a pointless flags override line - the variable
      assigned to was misspelled anyway, and the options added are
      meaningless for assembly sources.
      
      [ hpa: the patch is not minimal, but I am taking it for -urgent anyway
        since the excess impact of the patch seems to be small enough. ]

      x86: remove the x32 syscall bitmask from syscall_get_nr() · 8b4b9f27
      Paul Moore authored
      Commit fca460f9
      
       simplified the x32
      implementation by creating a syscall bitmask, equal to 0x40000000, that
      could be applied to x32 syscalls such that the masked syscall number
      would be the same as a x86_64 syscall.  While that patch was a nice
      way to simplify the code, it went a bit too far by adding the mask to
      syscall_get_nr(); returning the masked syscall numbers can cause
      confusion with callers that expect syscall numbers matching the x32
      ABI, e.g. unmasked syscall numbers.
      
      This patch fixes this by simply removing the mask from syscall_get_nr()
      while preserving the other changes from the original commit.  While
      there are several syscall_get_nr() callers in the kernel, most simply
      check that the syscall number is greater than zero, in this case this
      patch will have no effect.  Of those remaining callers, they appear
      to be few, seccomp and ftrace, and from my testing of seccomp without
      this patch the original commit definitely breaks things; the seccomp
      filter does not correctly filter the syscalls due to the difference in
      syscall numbers in the BPF filter and the value from syscall_get_nr().
      Applying this patch restores the seccomp BPF filter functionality on
      x32.
      
      I've tested this patch with the seccomp BPF filters as well as ftrace
      and everything looks reasonable to me; needless to say general usage
      seemed fine as well.

      Deal with this for v3.9 by reverting the problem commit, until folks can
      figure out the right long-term course of action.
