x86, um: take arch/um/include/* out of the way

2008-10-23T05:55:19+00:00

We can't just plop asm/* into it - userland helpers are built with it
in search path and seeing asm/* show up there suddenly would be a bad
idea.

UML: make several more things static

2008-07-24T17:47:24+00:00

- Make some variables and functions static, since they don't need to be
  global.

- Remove an unused function - arch/um/kernel/time.c::sched_clock().

- Clean the style a bit as complained by checkpatch.pl.

uml: delete some unused headers

2008-02-05T17:44:26+00:00

Robert Day noticed a few unused headers in UML, so this gets rid of them.

uml: fold mmu_context_skas into mm_context

2007-10-16T16:43:06+00:00

This patch folds mmu_context_skas into struct mm_context, changing all users
of these structures as needed.

uml: style fixes pass 3

2007-10-16T16:43:05+00:00

Formatting changes in the files which have been changed in the course
of folding foo_skas functions into their callers.  These include:
	copyright updates
	header file trimming
	style fixes
	adding severity to printks

These changes should be entirely non-functional.

uml: remove code made redundant by CHOOSE_MODE removal

2007-10-16T16:43:05+00:00

This patch makes a number of simplifications enabled by the removal of
CHOOSE_MODE.  There were lots of functions that looked like

	int foo(args){
		foo_skas(args);
	}

The bodies of foo_skas are now folded into foo, and their declarations (and
sometimes entire header files) are deleted.

In addition, the union uml_pt_regs, which was a union between the tt and skas
register formats, is now a struct, with the tt-mode arm of the union being
removed.

It turns out that usr2_handler was unused, so it is gone.

uml: throw out CHOOSE_MODE

2007-10-16T16:43:05+00:00

The next stage after removing code which depends on CONFIG_MODE_TT is removing
the CHOOSE_MODE abstraction, which provided both compile-time and run-time
branching to either tt-mode or skas-mode code.

This patch removes choose-mode.h and all inclusions of it, and replaces all
CHOOSE_MODE invocations with the skas branch.  This leaves a number of trivial
functions which will be dealt with in a later patch.

There are some changes in the uaccess and tls support which go somewhat beyond
this and eliminate some of the now-redundant functions.

uml: physmem code tidying

2007-10-16T16:43:05+00:00

Tidying of the UML physical memory system.  These are mostly style fixes,
however the includes were cleaned as well.  This uncovered a need for
mem_user.h to be included in mode_kern_skas.h.

uml: stop saving process FP state

2007-10-16T16:43:05+00:00

Throw out a lot of code dealing with saving and restoring floating-point
state.  In skas mode, where processes run in a restoring floating-point state
on kernel entry and exit is pointless.

This eliminates most of arch/um/os-Linux/sys-{i386,x86_64}/registers.c.  Most
of what remained is now arch-indpendent, and can be moved up to
arch/um/os-Linux/registers.c.  Both arches need the jmp_buf accessor
get_thread_reg, and i386 needs {save,restore}_fp_regs because it cheats during
sigreturn by getting the fp state using ptrace rather than copying it out of
the process sigcontext.

After this, it turns out that arch/um/include/skas/mode-skas.h is almost
completely unneeded.  The declarations in it are variables which either don't
exist or which don't have global scope.  The one exception is
kill_off_processes_skas.  If that's removed, this header can be deleted.

This uncovered a bug in user.h, which wasn't correctly making sure that a
size_t definition was available to both userspace and kernelspace files.

uml: speed page fault path

2007-05-07T19:13:04+00:00

Give the page fault code a specialized path.  There is only one page to look
at, so there's no point in going into the general page table walking code.
There's only going to be one host operation, so there are no opportunities for
merging.  So, we go straight to the pte we want, figure out what needs doing,
and do it.

While I was in here, I fixed the wart where the address passed to unmap was a
void *, but an unsigned long to map and protect.

This gives me just under 10% on a kernel build.
