um: Add os_warn() for pre-boot warning/error messages

2017-07-05T21:18:02+00:00

Add os_warn() for printing out pre-boot warning/error
messages in stderr. The messages via os_warn() are not
suppressed by quiet option.

um: Add os_info() for pre-boot information messages

2017-07-05T21:17:16+00:00

Add os_info() for printing out pre-boot information
level messages in stderr. The messages via os_info()
are suppressed by "quiet" kernel command line.

x86/arch_prctl/64: Rename do_arch_prctl() to do_arch_prctl_64()

2017-03-20T15:10:32+00:00

In order to introduce new arch_prctls that are not 64 bit only, rename the
existing 64 bit implementation to do_arch_prctl_64(). Also rename the
second argument of that function from 'addr' to 'arg2', because it will no
longer always be an address.

x86/arch_prctl: Rename 'code' argument to 'option'

2017-03-20T15:10:32+00:00

The x86 specific arch_prctl() arbitrarily changed prctl's 'option' to
'code'. Before adding new options, rename it.

um: Fix ptrace GETREGS/SETREGS bugs

2016-01-10T20:49:48+00:00

This fix two related bugs:
* PTRACE_GETREGS doesn't get the right orig_ax (syscall) value
* PTRACE_SETREGS can't set the orig_ax value (erased by initial value)

Get rid of the now useless and error-prone get_syscall().

Fix inconsistent behavior in the ptrace implementation for i386 when
updating orig_eax automatically update the syscall number as well. This
is now updated in handle_syscall().

um: Switch clocksource to hrtimers

2015-11-06T21:54:49+00:00

UML is using an obsolete itimer call for
all timers and "polls" for kernel space timer firing
in its userspace portion resulting in a long list
of bugs and incorrect behaviour(s). It also uses
ITIMER_VIRTUAL for its timer which results in the
timer being dependent on it running and the cpu
load.

This patch fixes this by moving to posix high resolution
timers firing off CLOCK_MONOTONIC and relaying the timer
correctly to the UML userspace.

Fixes:
 - crashes when hosts suspends/resumes
 - broken userspace timers - effecive ~40Hz instead
   of what they should be. Note - this modifies skas behavior
   by no longer setting an itimer per clone(). Timer events
   are relayed instead.
 - kernel network packet scheduling disciplines
 - tcp behaviour especially under load
 - various timer related corner cases

Finally, overall responsiveness of userspace is better.

um: Store syscall number after syscall_trace_enter()

To support changing syscall numbers we have to store
it after syscall_trace_enter().

um: Remove SKAS3/4 support

2015-04-13T19:00:53+00:00

Before we had SKAS0 UML had two modes of operation
TT (tracing thread) and SKAS3/4 (separated kernel address space).
TT was known to be insecure and got removed a long time ago.
SKAS3/4 required a few (3 or 4) patches on the host side which never went
mainline. The last host patch is 10 years old.

With SKAS0 mode (separated kernel address space using 0 host patches),
default since 2005, SKAS3/4 is obsolete and can be removed.
