* [PATCH] uml: eliminate anonymous union and clean up symlink lossageJeff Dike2005-11-222-17/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | This gives a name to the anonymous union introduced in skas-hold-own-ldt, allowing to build on a wider range of gccs. It also removes ldt.h, which somehow became real, and replaces it with a symlink, and creates ldt-x86_64.h as a copy of ldt-i386.h for now.

* [PATCH] uml: eliminate use of local in clone stubJeff Dike2005-11-221-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have a bug in the i386 stub_syscall6 which pushes ebp before the system call and pops it afterwards. Because we use syscall6 to remap the stack, the old contents of the stack (and the former value of ebp) are no longer available. Some versions of gcc make from a real local, accessed through ebp, despite my efforts to make it obvious that references to from are really constants. This patch attempts to make it even more obvious by eliminating from and using a macro to access the stub's data explicitly with constants. My original thinking on this was to replace syscall6 with a remap_stack interface which saved ebp someplace and restored it afterwards. The problem is that there are no registers to put it in, except for esp. That could work, since we can store a constant in esp after the mmap because we just replaced the stack. However, this approach seems a tad cleaner. Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] uml: fix access_okPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2005-11-135-24/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The access_ok_tt() macro is bogus, in that a read access is unconditionally considered valid. I couldn't find in SCM logs the introduction of this check, but I went back to 2.4.20-1um and the definition was the same. Possibly this was done to avoid problems with missing set_fs() calls, but there can't be any I think because they would fail with SKAS mode. TT-specific code is still to check. Also, this patch joins common code together, and makes the "address range wrapping" check happen for all cases, rather than for only some. This may, possibly, be reoptimized at some time, but the current code doesn't seem clever, just confused. * Important: I've also had to change references to access_ok_{tt,skas} back to access_ok - the kernel wasn't that happy otherwise.

* [PATCH] uml console channels: remove console_write wrappersPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2005-11-135-41/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We were using a long series of (stupid) wrappers which all call generic_console_write(). Since the wrappers only change the 4th param, which is unused by the called proc, remove them and call generic_console_write() directly. If needed at any time in the future to reintroduce this stuff, the member could be moved to a generic struct, to avoid this duplicated handling.

* [PATCH] uml: fix mcast network driver error handlingPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2005-11-131-10/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | printk clears the host errno (I verified this in debugging and it's reasonable enough, given that it ends via a write call on some fd, especially since printk() goes on /dev/tty0 which is often the host stdout). So save errno earlier. There's no reason to change the printk calls to use -err rather than errno - the assignment can't clear errno. And in the first failure path, we used to return 0 too (and this time more clearly), which is totally wrong. 0 is a success fd, which is then registered and gives a "registering fd twice" warning. Finally, fix up some whitespace.

* [PATCH] uml: remove bogus WARN_ON, triggerable harmlessly on a page fault racePaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2005-11-131-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The below warning was added in place of pte_mkyoung(); if (is_write) pte_mkdirty(); In fact, if the PTE is not marked young/dirty, our dirty/accessed bit emulation would cause the TLB permission not to be changed, and so we'd loop, and given we don't support preemption yet, we'd busy-hang here. However, I've seen this warning trigger without crashes during a loop of concurrent kernel builds, at random times (i.e. like a race condition), and I realized that two concurrent faults on the same page, one on read and one on write, can trigger it. The read fault gets serviced and the PTE gets marked writable but clean (it's possible on a shared-writable mapping), while the generic code sees the PTE was already installed and returns without action. In this case, we'll see another fault and service it normally.

This patch moves it to kernel/ptrace.c and leaves the arch-specific code as arch_ptrace. Some architectures have a too different ptrace so we have to exclude them. They continue to keep their implementations. For sh64 I had to add a sh64_ptrace wrapper because it does some initialization on the first call.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch reverts back the changes to HOSTCFLAGS and HOSTLDFLAGS When we were building complete binaries to get constants (such as ptrace register layout on stack) from host userspace headers, we needed to make the arch for building HOST binaries match our one: i.e. on a 64bit system compiling 32bit binaries, we compile 32-bit hostprogs and need, say, 32-bit ncurses. Now we can revert that - that avoids problem with, say, menuconfig and ncurses, on a system which can't compile well 32-bit programs.

* [PATCH] uml: fix syscall stubsPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2005-11-072-33/+92
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jeff Dike noted that the assembly code for syscall stubs is misassembled with GCC 3.2.3: the values copied in registers weren't preserved between one asm() and the following one. So I fixed the thing by rewriting the __asm__ constraints more like unistd.h ones. Note: in syscall6 case I had to add one more instruction (i.e. moving arg6 in eax and shuffling things around) - it's needed for the function to be valid in general (we can't load the value from the stack, relative to ebp, because we change it), but could be avoided since we actually use a constant as param 6. The only fix would be to turn stub_syscall6 to a macro and use a "i" constraint for arg6 (i.e., specify it's a constant value).

* | [PATCH] mm: split page table lockHugh Dickins2005-10-291-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of a large anonymous area. This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single page_table_lock. (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.) In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled. Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access. Ideally, I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs. So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with NR_CPUS. But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps change that to 8 later. There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

* [PATCH] uml: revert block driver use of host AIOJeff Dike2005-10-125-373/+483
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: fix x86_64 with !CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERJeff Dike2005-10-101-9/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | UML/x86_64 doesn't run when built with frame pointers disabled. There was an implicit frame pointer assumption in the stub segfault handler. With frame pointers disabled, UML dies on handling its first page fault. The container-of part of this is from Paolo Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it>.

| | | | | | | | | | After restoring the existing code, make it work also when included in kernelspace code (which isn't currently the case, but at least this will prevent people from "fixing" it as just happened).

* [PATCH] uml: restore include breakage, breaking binary format of COW driverPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2005-10-101-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 44456d37b59d8e541936ed26d8b6e08d27e88ac1, between 2.6.13-rc3 and -rc4, was a "nice cleanup" which broke something. Revert the offending part. It broke because: a) because this part doesn't fall under the description b) the author didn't know what he was doing here c) the author didn't try to compile the existing code and see that it worked perfectly. d) the author didn't ask us what was happening e) you didn't either, and somebody there should have learned that UML is a bit different. In fact, UML is special in linking to host libc and using its includes. In particular, since host includes always define both __BIG_ENDIAN and __LITTLE_ENDIAN, ntohll() macros started thinking to be in a big-endian world; and on-disk compatibility was broken. Many thanks go to Nix for reporting the problem and correctly diagnosing an endianness problem. Btw, this patch restores the previous code, which worked; but the definitions would be uncorrect if used in kernelspace files. Next patch addresses that.
