arm64: fix alignment padding in assembly code

2012-10-20T10:12:01Z

An interesting effect of using the generic version of linkage.h is that the padding is defined in terms of x86 NOPs, which can have even more interesting effects when the assembly code looks like this: ENTRY(func1) mov x0, xzr ENDPROC(func1) // fall through ENTRY(func2) mov x0, #1 ret ENDPROC(func2) Admittedly, the code is not very nice. But having code from another architecture doesn't look completely sane either. The fix is to add arm64's version of linkage.h, which causes the insertion of proper AArch64 NOPs.

The min/max call needed to have explicit types on some architectures (e.g. mn10300).

2012-10-20T00:40:26Z

Pull perf/urgent fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: * The python binding needs to link with libtraceevent and to initialize the 'page_size' variable so that mmaping works again. * The callchain folding character that appears on the TUI just before the overhead had disappeared due to recent changes, add it back. * Intel PEBS in VT-x context uses the DS address as a guest linear address, even though its programmed by the host as a host linear address. This either results in guest memory corruption and or the hardware faulting and 'crashing' the virtual machine. Therefore we have to disable PEBS on VT-x enter and re-enable on VT-x exit, enforcing a strict exclude_guest. Kernel side enforcement fix by Peter Zijlstra, tooling side fix by David Ahern. * Fix build on sparc due to UAPI, fix from David Miller. * Fixes for the srclike sort key for unresolved symbols and when processing samples in JITted code, where we don't have an ELF file, just an special symbol table, fixes from Namhyung Kim. * Fix some leaks in libtraceevent, from Steven Rostedt.

MODSIGN: Move the magic string to the end of a module and eliminate the search

2012-10-20T00:30:40Z

Emit the magic string that indicates a module has a signature after the signature data instead of before it. This allows module_sig_check() to be made simpler and faster by the elimination of the search for the magic string. Instead we just need to do a single memcmp(). This works because at the end of the signature data there is the fixed-length signature information block. This block then falls immediately prior to the magic number. From the contents of the information block, it is trivial to calculate the size of the signature data and thus the size of the actual module data.
