 "This tree introduces the X32 binary format and execution mode for x86:
  32-bit data space binaries using 64-bit instructions and 64-bit kernel

  This allows applications whose working set fits into a 32 bits address
  space to make use of 64-bit instructions while using a 32-bit address
  space with shorter pointers, more compressed data structures, etc."

<title>x86: Merge the x86_32 and x86_64 cpu_idle() functions</title>

<id>90e240142bd31ff10aeda5a280a53153f4eff004</id>
<content type='text'>
Both functions are mostly identical.
The differences are:

- x86_32's cpu_idle() makes use of check_pgt_cache(), which is a
  nop on both x86_32 and x86_64.

- x86_64's cpu_idle() uses enter/__exit_idle/(), on x86_32 these
  function are a nop.

- In contrast to x86_32, x86_64 calls rcu_idle_enter/exit() in
  the innermost loop because idle notifications need RCU.
  Calling these function on x86_32 also in the innermost loop
  does not hurt.

So we can merge both functions.

task-&gt;thread.usersp is unusable immediately after a binary is exec()'d
until it undergoes a context switch cycle. The start_thread() function
called during execve() saves the stack pointer into pt_regs and into
old_rsp, but fails to record it into task-&gt;thread.usersp.

Because of this, KSTK_ESP(task) returns an incorrect value for a
64-bit program until the task is switched out and back in since
switch_to swaps %rsp values in and out into task-&gt;thread.usersp.
