[PATCH] uml: remove jail mode + other leftovers

2005-05-28T23:46:14+00:00

This var is currently useless, as it's apparent from reading the code. Until
2.6.11 it was used in some code related to jail mode, in the same proc.:

        if(jail){
		while(!reading) sched_yield();
	}

jail mode has been dropped, together with that use, so let's finish dropping
this.

Also, remove some other useless definitions I met.

[PATCH] uml: Export clear_user_*

2005-05-20T22:48:18+00:00

From: Oleg Drokin: This patch is needed to support kernel modules that want to
use clear_user() (that is exported symbol on all other architectures).

[PATCH] uml: Fix process exit race

2005-05-07T05:09:30+00:00

tt-mode closes switch_pipes in exit_thread_tt and kills processes in
switch_to_tt, if the exit_state is EXIT_DEAD or EXIT_ZOMBIE.

In very rare cases the exiting process can be scheduled out after having set
exit_state and closed switch_pipes (from release_task it calls proc_pid_flush,
which might sleep).  If this process is to be restarted, UML failes in
switch_to_tt with:

   write of switch_pipe failed, err = 9

We fix this by closing switch_pipes not in exit_thread_tt, but later in
release_thread_tt.  Additionally, we set switch_pipe[0] = 0 after closing.
switch_to_tt must not kill "from" process depending on its exit_state, but
must kill it after release_thread was processed only, so it examines
switch_pipe[0] for its decision.

[PATCH] uml: Use CONFIG variable for address space size

2005-05-07T05:09:30+00:00

tt/mem.c still uses hardcoded TOP for i386 instead of CONFIG_TOP_ADDR provided
by subarch's Kconfig_XXXX, which would be right.

[PATCH] uml: S390 preparation, save an extra register

2005-05-07T05:09:29+00:00

s390 tt-mode needs to save not only syscall number, but an further register
also.

[PATCH] uml: __deprecated makes build unnecessarily noisy

2005-05-07T05:09:28+00:00

Remove the __deprecated from verify_area_skas and verify_area_tt.  Since
verify_area is itself marked __deprecated, and it is the only caller of
these, then they don't need to be marked.  Marking them only makes the
build noisier.

[PATCH] uml: Fix SIGWINCH relaying

2005-05-05T23:36:36+00:00

This makes SIGWINCH work again, and fixes a couple of SIGWINCH-associated
crashes.  First, the sigio thread disables SIGWINCH because all hell breaks
loose if it ever gets one and tries to call the signal handling code.  Second,
there was a problem with deferencing tty structs after they were freed.  The
SIGWINCH support for a tty wasn't being turned off or freed after the tty went
away.

[PATCH] uml: S390 preparation, abstract host page fault data

2005-05-05T23:36:36+00:00

This patch removes the arch-specific fault/trap-infos from thread and
skas-regs.

It adds a new struct faultinfo, that is arch-specific defined in
sysdep/faultinfo.h.

The structure is inserted in thread.arch and thread.regs.skas and
thread.regs.tt

Now, segv and other trap-handlers can copy the contents from regs.X.faultinfo
to thread.arch.faultinfo with one simple assignment.

Also, the number of macros necessary is reduced to

FAULT_ADDRESS(struct faultinfo)
    extracts the faulting address from faultinfo

FAULT_WRITE(struct faultinfo)
    extracts the "is_write" flag

SEGV_IS_FIXABLE(struct faultinfo)
    is true for the fixable segvs, i.e. (TRAP == 14)
    on i386

UPT_FAULTINFO(regs)
    result is (struct faultinfo *) to the faultinfo
    in regs->skas.faultinfo

GET_FAULTINFO_FROM_SC(struct faultinfo, struct sigcontext *)
    copies the relevant parts of the sigcontext to
    struct faultinfo.

On SIGSEGV, call user_signal() instead of handle_segv(), if the architecture
provides the information needed in PTRACE_FAULTINFO, or if PTRACE_FAULTINFO is
missing, because segv-stub will provide the info.

The benefit of the change is, that in case of a non-fixable SIGSEGV, we can
give user processes a SIGSEGV, instead of possibly looping on pagefault
handling.

Since handle_segv() sikked arch_fixup() implicitly by passing ip==0 to segv(),
I changed segv() to call arch_fixup() only, if !is_user.

[PATCH] uml kbuild: avoid useless rebuilds

2005-05-05T23:36:33+00:00

- Fix some problems with usage of $(targets) (sometimes missing, sometimes
  used badly) that trigger partial rebuilds when doing a rebuild.

- At that purpose, also factor out some common code for symlinks creation.

- Fix a x86-64 build warning, caused by -L/usr/lib, which is anyway useless,
  and invalid in the x86-64 case.

Tested on x86_64 and x86.

[PATCH] misc verify_area cleanups

2005-05-01T15:59:08+00:00

There were still a few comments left refering to verify_area, and two
functions, verify_area_skas & verify_area_tt that just wrap corresponding
access_ok_skas & access_ok_tt functions, just like verify_area does for
access_ok - deprecate those.

There was also a few places that still used verify_area in commented-out
code, fix those up to use access_ok.

After applying this one there should not be anything left but finally
removing verify_area completely, which will happen after a kernel release
or two.
