<title>uml: runtime host VMSPLIT detection</title>

<id>536788fe2d28e11db6aeda74207d95d750fb761f</id>
<content type='text'>
Calculate TASK_SIZE at run-time by figuring out the host's VMSPLIT - this is
needed on i386 if UML is to run on hosts with varying VMSPLITs without
recompilation.

TASK_SIZE is now defined in terms of a variable, task_size.  This gets rid of
an include of pgtable.h from processor.h, which can cause include loops.

On i386, task_size is calculated early in boot by probing the address space in
a binary search to figure out where the boundary between usable and non-usable
memory is.  This tries to make sure that a page that is considered to be in
userspace is, or can be made, read-write.  I'm concerned about a system-global
VDSO page in kernel memory being hit and considered to be a userspace page.

On x86_64, task_size is just the old value of CONFIG_TOP_ADDR.

A bunch of config variable are gone now.  CONFIG_TOP_ADDR is directly replaced
by TASK_SIZE.  NEST_LEVEL is gone since the relocation of the stubs makes it
irrelevant.  All the HOST_VMSPLIT stuff is gone.  All references to these in
arch/um/Makefile are also gone.

I noticed and fixed a missing extern in os.h when adding os_get_task_size.

Note: This has been revised to fix the 32-bit UML on 64-bit host bug that
Miklos ran into.

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.

<content type='text'>
Untangle UML headers somewhat and add some includes where they were
needed explicitly, but gotten accidentally via some other header.

arch/um/include/um_uaccess.h loses asm/fixmap.h because it uses no
fixmap stuff and gains elf.h, because it needs FIXADDR_USER_*, and
archsetjmp.h, because it needs jmp_buf.

pmd_alloc_one is uninlined because it needs mm_struct, and that's
inconvenient to provide in asm-um/pgtable-3level.h.

elf_core_copy_fpregs is also uninlined from elf-i386.h and
elf-x86_64.h, which duplicated the code anyway, to
arch/um/kernel/process.c, so that the reference to current_thread
doesn't pull sched.h or anything related into asm/elf.h.

arch/um/sys-i386/ldt.c, arch/um/kernel/tlb.c and
arch/um/kernel/skas/uaccess.c got sched.h because they dereference
task_structs.  Its includes of linux and asm headers got turned from
"" to &lt;&gt;.

arch/um/sys-i386/bug.c gets asm/errno.h because it needs errno
constants.

asm/elf-i386 gets asm/user.h because it needs user_regs_struct.

asm/fixmap.h gets page.h because it needs PAGE_SIZE and PAGE_MASK and
system.h for BUG_ON.

asm/pgtable doesn't need sched.h.

asm/processor-generic.h defined mm_segment_t, but didn't use it.  So,
that definition is moved to uaccess.h, which defines a bunch of
mm_segment_t-related stuff.  thread_info.h uses mm_segment_t, and
includes uaccess.h, which causes a recursion.  So, the definition is
placed above the include of thread_info. in uaccess.h.  thread_info.h
also gets page.h because it needs PAGE_SIZE.

ObCheckpatchViolationJustification - I'm not adding a typedef; I'm
moving mm_segment_t from one place to another.

Implement get_wchan - the algorithm is similar to x86.  It starts with the
stack pointer of the process in question and looks above that for addresses
that are kernel text.  The second one which isn't in the scheduler is the one
that's returned.  The first one is ignored because that will be UML's own
context switching routine.

do_longjmp used to be needed when UML didn't have its own implementation of
setjmp and longjmp.  They came from libc, and couldn't be called directly from
kernel code, as the libc jmp_buf couldn't be imported there.  do_longjmp was a
userspace function which served to provide longjmp access to kernel code.

This is gone, and a number of void * pointers can now be jmp_buf *.

<content type='text'>
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.
