uml: deal with inaccessible address space start

2008-06-06T18:29:10+00:00

This patch makes os_get_task_size locate the bottom of the address space,
as well as the top.  This is for systems which put a lower limit on mmap
addresses.  It works by manually scanning pages from zero onwards until a
valid page is found.

Because the bottom of the address space may not be zero, it's not
sufficient to assume the top of the address space is the size of the
address space.  The size is the difference between the top address and
bottom address.

[jdike@addtoit.com: changed the name to reflect that this function is
supposed to return the top of the process address space, not its size and
changed the return value to reflect that.  Also some minor formatting
changes]

uml: fix FP register corruption

2008-02-24T01:12:15+00:00

Commit ee3d9bd4de1ed93d2a7ee41c331ed30a1c7b8acd ("uml: simplify SIGSEGV
handling"), while greatly simplifying the kernel SIGSEGV handler that
runs in the process address space, introduced a bug which corrupts FP
state in the process.

Previously, the SIGSEGV handler called the sigreturn system call by hand - it
couldn't return through the restorer provided to it because that could try to
call the libc restorer which likely wouldn't exist in the process address
space.  So, it blocked off some signals, including SIGUSR1, on entry to the
SIGSEGV handler, queued a SIGUSR1 to itself, and invoked sigreturn.  The
SIGUSR1 was delivered, and was visible to the UML kernel after sigreturn
finished.

The commit eliminated the signal masking and the call to sigreturn.  The
handler simply hits itself with a SIGTRAP to let the UML kernel know that it
is finished.  UML then restores the process registers, which effectively
longjmps the process out of the signal handler, skipping sigreturn's restoring
of register state and the signal mask.

The bug is that the host apparently sets used_fp to 0 when it saves the
process FP state in the sigcontext on the process signal stack.  Thus, when
the process is longjmped out of the handler, its FP state is corrupt because
it wasn't saved on the context switch to the UML kernel.

This manifested itself as sleep hanging.  For some reason, sleep uses floating
point in order to calculate the sleep interval.  When a page fault corrupts
its FP state, it is faked into essentially sleeping forever.

This patch saves the FP state before entering the SIGSEGV handler and restores
it afterwards.

uml: style fixes in arch/um/os-Linux

2008-02-08T17:22:42+00:00

Style changes under arch/um/os-Linux:
	include trimming
	CodingStyle fixes
	some printks needed severity indicators

make_tempfile turns out not to be used outside of mem.c, so it is now static.
Its declaration in tempfile.h is no longer needed, and tempfile.h itself is no
longer needed.

create_tmp_file was also made static.

checkpatch moans about an EXPORT_SYMBOL in user_syms.c which is part of a
macro definition - this is copying a bit of kernel infrastructure into the
libc side of UML because the kernel headers can't be included there.

uml: runtime host VMSPLIT detection

2008-02-08T17:22:42+00:00

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.

uml: throw out CONFIG_MODE_TT

2007-10-16T16:43:05+00:00

This patchset throws out tt mode, which has been non-functional for a while.

This is done in phases, interspersed with code cleanups on the affected files.

The removal is done as follows:
	remove all code, config options, and files which depend on
CONFIG_MODE_TT
	get rid of the CHOOSE_MODE macro, which decided whether to
call tt-mode or skas-mode code, and replace invocations with their
skas portions
	replace all now-trivial procedures with their skas equivalents

There are now a bunch of now-redundant pieces of data structures, including
mode-specific pieces of the thread structure, pt_regs, and mm_context.  These
are all replaced with their skas-specific contents.

As part of the ongoing style compliance project, I made a style pass over all
files that were changed.  There are three such patches, one for each phase,
covering the files affected by that phase but no later ones.

I noticed that we weren't freeing the LDT state associated with a process when
it exited, so that's fixed in one of the later patches.

The last patch is a tidying patch which I've had for a while, but which caused
inexplicable crashes under tt mode.  Since that is no longer a problem, this
can now go in.

This patch:

Start getting rid of tt mode support.

This patch throws out CONFIG_MODE_TT and all config options, code, and files
which depend on it.

CONFIG_MODE_SKAS is gone and everything that depends on it is included
unconditionally.

The few changed lines are in re-written Kconfig help, lines which needed
something skas-related removed from them, and a few more which weren't
strictly deletions.

uml: stop saving process FP state

2007-10-16T16:43:05+00:00

Throw out a lot of code dealing with saving and restoring floating-point
state.  In skas mode, where processes run in a restoring floating-point state
on kernel entry and exit is pointless.

This eliminates most of arch/um/os-Linux/sys-{i386,x86_64}/registers.c.  Most
of what remained is now arch-indpendent, and can be moved up to
arch/um/os-Linux/registers.c.  Both arches need the jmp_buf accessor
get_thread_reg, and i386 needs {save,restore}_fp_regs because it cheats during
sigreturn by getting the fp state using ptrace rather than copying it out of
the process sigcontext.

After this, it turns out that arch/um/include/skas/mode-skas.h is almost
completely unneeded.  The declarations in it are variables which either don't
exist or which don't have global scope.  The one exception is
kill_off_processes_skas.  If that's removed, this header can be deleted.

This uncovered a bug in user.h, which wasn't correctly making sure that a
size_t definition was available to both userspace and kernelspace files.
