[PATCH] uml: fix signal frame alignment

2007-01-31T00:01:35+00:00

Use the same signal frame alignment calculations as the underlying
architecture.  x86_64 appeared to do this, but the "- 8" was really
subtracting 8 * sizeof(struct rt_sigframe) rather than 8 bytes.

UML/i386 might have been OK, but I changed the calculation to match
i386 just to be sure.

[PATCH] fix indentation-related breakage in Kconfig.i386

2007-01-30T16:39:21+00:00

Kconfig recognizes the end of help text by receding indentation depth.
Recent patch had broken HOST_VMSPLIT_... choice in arch/um/Kconfig.i386 -
all alternatives are interpreted as part of help text now.

[PATCH] Fix UML on non-standard VM split hosts

2007-01-26T21:51:00+00:00

This fixes UML on hosts with non-standard VM splits.  We had changed the
config variable that controls UML behavior on such hosts, but not
propogated the change everywhere.  In particular, the values of STUB_CODE
and STUB_DATA relied on the old variable.

I also reformatted the HOST_VMSPLIT_3G help to make it more standard.

[PATCH] getting rid of all casts of k[cmz]alloc() calls

2006-12-13T17:05:58+00:00

Run this:

	#!/bin/sh
	for f in $(grep -Erl "\([^\)]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do
	  echo "De-casting $f..."
	  perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?\([^\)]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f
	done

And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers
to non-pointers.

And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

[PATCH] tty: switch to ktermios

2006-12-08T16:28:57+00:00

This is the grungy swap all the occurrences in the right places patch that
goes with the updates.  At this point we have the same functionality as
before (except that sgttyb() returns speeds not zero) and are ready to
begin turning new stuff on providing nobody reports lots of bugs

If you are a tty driver author converting an out of tree driver the only
impact should be termios->ktermios name changes for the speed/property
setting functions from your upper layers.

If you are implementing your own TCGETS function before then your driver
was broken already and its about to get a whole lot more painful for you so
please fix it 8)

Also fill in c_ispeed/ospeed on init for most devices, although the current
code will do this for you anyway but I'd like eventually to lose that extra
paranoia

[PATCH] UML: add generic BUG support

2006-12-08T16:28:39+00:00

The BUG changes in -mm3 need some arch support.  This patch adds the UML
support needed.  For the most part, it was stolen from the underlying
architecture.  The exception is the kernel eip < PAGE_OFFSET test, which is
wrong for skas mode UMLs.

[PATCH] tty: ->signal->tty locking

2006-12-08T16:28:38+00:00

Fix the locking of signal->tty.

Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used
by most other members of ->signal/->sighand.  And unless we are 'current'
or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway.

(NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules)

Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding
tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid.  Otherwise the lifetime of ttys
are governed by their open file handles.  This leaves some holes for tty
access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access).

It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing.

(NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to
       be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think
       it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info
       invocations)

[PATCH] uml: use get_random_bytes() after random pool is seeded

2006-12-07T16:39:29+00:00

When the UML network driver generates random MACs for its devices, it was
possible for a number of UMLs to get the same MACs because the ethernet
initialization was done before the random pool was properly seeded.

This patch moves the initialization later so that it gets better randomness.
