[PATCH v4 00/10] x86: Support compiling out userspace IO (iopl and ioperm)

[Josh Triplett]

This patch series makes it possible to compile out the userspace IO system
calls, iopl and ioperm.

The first patch does some 32/64 unification in copy_thread to make subsequent
changes easier.  The second patch simplifies the complex calculation of the TSS
segment limit, which also makes it easier to change in the last patch.  Patches
3-9 introduce helpers to make it easier to compile out IO.  The last patch adds
and uses the new CONFIG_X86_IOPORT to support compiling out userspace IO.

v3 had patches 3-10 as a single patch; v4 splits out the various helpers and
macros into separate patches, as requested by Thomas Gleixner.

I've verified that this compiles after each patch.

Josh Triplett (10):
  x86: process: Unify 32-bit and 64-bit copy_thread I/O bitmap handling
  x86: tss: Eliminate fragile calculation of TSS segment limit
  x86: processor.h: Introduce macros to initialize IO fields of thread
    and TSS
  x86: paravirt: Wrap initialization of set_iopl_mask in a macro
  x86: cpu: Add helper function unifying 32-bit and 64-bit IO init in
    cpu_init
  x86: process: Introduce helper to clear a thread's IO bitmap
  x86: process: Introduce helper to switch iopl mask
  x86: process: Introduce helper for IO-related bits of exit_thread
  x86: process: Introduce helper to switch IO bitmap
  x86: Support compiling out userspace IO (iopl and ioperm)
