> x86/entry: Rename is_{ia32,x32}_task() to in_{ia32,x32}_syscall()
Btw., I'm not _entirely_ happy about the 'IA32' name, but went with this name
for
lack of a better alternative.
So we have 4 system call modes:
- 64-bit native
- 32-bit addresses with 64-bit arguments (x32)
- 32-bit compat syscall (x86-32 compatibility on x86-64)
- 32-bit native
and we have 2 bits of data that are per system call properties:
- TS_COMPAT in thread_info->status is set/cleared dynamically by the compat
syscall entry code
- a high bit in pt_regs->orig_ax tells us whether it's an x32 system call.
So I'd suggest the following renames to harmonize these concepts:
- CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION => CONFIG_X86_32_ABI
this lines up nicely with: CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI
- is_ia32_syscall() -> is_x86_32_syscall()
- is_x32_syscall() -> is_x86_x32_syscall()
- is_compat_syscall() remains as-is.
... thoughts?
Thanks,
Ingo
