uml: SMP locking commentary

2008-02-05T17:44:30+00:00

Add some more commentary about various pieces of global data not needing
locking.

Also got rid of unmap_physmem since that is no longer used.

uml: clean up TASK_SIZE usage

2008-02-05T17:44:29+00:00

Clean up the calculation and use of the usable address space size on the host.

task_size is gone, replaced with TASK_SIZE, which is calculated from
CONFIG_TOP_ADDR.  get_kmem_end and set_task_sizes_skas are also gone.

host_task_size, which refers to the entire address space usable by the UML
kernel and which may be larger than the address space usable by a UML process,
since that has to end on a pgdir boundary, is replaced by CONFIG_TOP_ADDR.

STACK_TOP is now TASK_SIZE minus the two stub pages.

uml: userspace files should call libc directly

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

A number of files that were changed in the recent removal of tt mode
are userspace files which call the os_* wrappers instead of calling
libc directly.  A few other files were affected by this, through

This patch makes these call glibc directly.

There are also style fixes in the affected areas.

os_print_error has no remaining callers, so it is deleted.

There is a interface change to os_set_exec_close, eliminating a
parameter which was always the same.  The callers are fixed as well.

os_process_pc got its error path cleaned up.

uml: remove __u64 usage from physical memory subsystem

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

Eliminate some uses of __u64 in the physical memory support.  It's hard to get
a definition of __u64 in both kernel and userspace code on x86_64, so this
changes them to unsigned long long.

There are also a copyright update and formatting comment removal from the
affected header.

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 specially protecting kernel stacks

2007-10-16T16:43:04+00:00

Map all of physical memory as executable to avoid having to change stack
protections during fork and exit.

unprotect_stack is now called only from MODE_TT code, so it is marked as such.

uml: more __init annotations

2007-07-24T19:24:58+00:00

2.6.23-rc1 turned up another batch of references from non-__init code to
__init code.  In most cases, these were missing __init annotations.  In one
case (os_drop_memory), the annotation was present but wrong.

init_maps is __init, but for some reason was being very careful about the
mechanism by which it allocated memory, checking whether it was OK to use
kmalloc (at this point in the boot, it definitely isn't) and using either
alloc_bootmem_low_pages or kmalloc/vmalloc.  So, the kmalloc/vmalloc code is
removed.
