[PATCH] Hostfs: update for new glibc - add missing symbol exports

2005-12-29T17:48:15+00:00

Today, when compiling UML, I got warnings for two used unexported symbols:
readdir64 and truncate64. Indeed, my glibc headers are aliasing readdir to
readdir64 and truncate to truncate64 (and so on).

I'm then adding additional exports. Since I've no idea if the symbols where
always provided in the supported glibc's, I've added weak definitions too.

[PATCH] uml: fix random segfaults at bootup

2005-12-29T17:48:15+00:00

Don't use printk() where "current_thread_info()" is crap.

Until when we switch to running on init_stack, current_thread_info() evaluates
to crap. Printk uses "current" at times (in detail, ¤t is evaluated with
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK to check the spinlock owner task).

And this leads to random segmentation faults.

Exactly, what happens is that ¤t = *(current_thread_info()), i.e. round
down $esp and dereference the value. I.e. access the stack below $esp, which
causes SIGSEGV on a VM_GROWSDOWN vma (see arch/i386/mm/fault.c).

[PATCH] uml: big memory fixes

2005-11-07T15:53:31+00:00

A number of fixes to improve behavior when large physical memory sizes
are specified:

- libc files need -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 because there are unavoidable uses
  of non-64 interfaces in libc

- some %d need to be %u

[PATCH] uml: maintain own LDT entries

2005-11-07T15:53:31+00:00

Patch imlements full LDT handling in SKAS:
 * UML holds it's own LDT table, used to deliver data on
   modify_ldt(READ)
 * UML disables the default_ldt, inherited from the host (SKAS3)
   or resets LDT entries, set by host's clib and inherited in
   SKAS0
 * A new global variable skas_needs_stub is inserted, that
   can be used to decide, whether stub-pages must be supported
   or not.
 * Uses the syscall-stub to replace missing PTRACE_LDT (therefore,
   write_ldt_entry needs to be modified)

[PATCH] uml: revert block driver use of host AIO

2005-10-12T15:22:26+00:00

The patch to use host AIO support that I submitted early after 2.6.13 exposed
some problems in the block driver.  I have fixes for these, but am not
comfortable putting them into 2.6.14 at this late date.  So, this patch reverts
the use of host AIO.

I will resubmit the original patch, plus fixes to the driver after 2.6.14
in order to get a reasonable amount of testing before they're exposed to
the general public.

[PATCH] uml: add mode=skas0 as a synonym of skas0

2005-10-10T15:36:00+00:00

Too many people were confused by skas0 and tried using "mode=skas0". And after
all, they are right - accept this.

[PATCH] uml: Fix sysrq-r support for skas mode

2005-10-04T20:22:01+00:00

The old code had the IP and SP coming from the registers in the thread
struct, which are completely wrong since those are the userspace
registers.  This fixes that by pulling the correct values from the
jmp_buf in which the kernel state of each thread is stored.
