[PATCH] uml: os_connect_socket error path fixup

2006-02-24T22:31:37+00:00

Fix an fd leak and a return of -1 instead of -errno in the error path - this
showed up in intensive testing of HPPFS, the os_connect_socket user.

[PATCH] uml: fix usage of kernel_errno in place of errno

2006-02-24T22:31:37+00:00

To avoid conflicts, in kernel files errno is expanded to kernel_errno, to
distinguish it from glibc errno.  In this case, the code wants to use the libc
errno but the kernel one is used; in the other usage, we return errno in place
of -errno in case of an error.

[PATCH] uml: initialize process FP registers properly

2006-02-08T00:12:32+00:00

We weren't making sure that we initialized the FP registers of new processes
to sane values.

This patch also moves some defines in the affected area closer to where they
are used.

[PATCH] uml: block SIGWINCH in ptrace tester child

2006-02-08T00:12:32+00:00

The process that UML uses to probe the host's ptrace capabilities can (rarely)
receive a SIGWINCH, confusing the parent.  This fixes that by blocking
SIGWINCH.

[PATCH] uml: close TUN/TAP file descriptors

2006-02-08T00:12:32+00:00

When UML opens a TUN/TAP device, the file descriptor could be copied into
later, long-lived threads, holding the device open even after the interface is
taken down, preventing it from being brought up again.  This patch makes these
descriptors close-on-exec so that they disappear from helper processes, and
adds CLONE_FILES to a UML helper thread so that the descriptors are closed in
the thread when they are closed elsewhere in UML.

[PATCH] uml: avoid malloc to sleep in atomic sections

2006-01-19T03:20:21+00:00

Ugly trick to help make malloc not sleeping - we can't do anything else.  But
this is not yet optimal, since spinlock don't trigger in_atomic() when
preemption is disabled.

Also, even if ugly, this was already used in one place, and was even more
bogus.  Fix it.

[PATCH] uml: implement soft interrupts

2006-01-19T03:20:20+00:00

This patch implements soft interrupts.  Interrupt enabling and disabling no
longer map to sigprocmask.  Rather, a flag is set indicating whether
interrupts may be handled.  If a signal comes in and interrupts are marked as
OK, then it is handled normally.  If interrupts are marked as off, then the
signal handler simply returns after noting that a signal needs handling.  When
interrupts are enabled later on, this pending signals flag is checked, and the
IRQ handlers are called at that point.

The point of this is to reduce the cost of local_irq_save et al, since they
are very much more common than the signals that they are enabling and
disabling.  Soft interrupts produce a speed-up of ~25% on a kernel build.

Subtleties -

    UML uses sigsetjmp/siglongjmp to switch contexts.  sigsetjmp has been
    wrapped in a save_flags-like macro which remembers the interrupt state at
    setjmp time, and restores it when it is longjmp-ed back to.

    The enable_signals function has to loop because the IRQ handler
    disables interrupts before returning.  enable_signals has to return with
    signals enabled, and signals may come in between the disabling and the
    return to enable_signals.  So, it loops for as long as there are pending
    signals, ensuring that signals are enabled when it finally returns, and
    that there are no pending signals that need to be dealt with.

[PATCH] uml: eliminate some globals

2006-01-19T03:20:20+00:00

Stop using global variables to hold the file descriptor and offset used to map
the skas0 stubs.  Instead, calculate them using the page physical addresses.
