* uml: remove PAGE_SIZE from libc codeJeff Dike2007-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Distros seem to be removing PAGE_SIZE from asm/page.h. So, the libc side of UML should stop using it. I replace it with UM_KERN_PAGE_SIZE, which is defined to be the same as PAGE_SIZE on the kernel side of the house. I could also use getpagesize(), but it's more important that UML have the same value of PAGE_SIZE everywhere. It's conceivable that it could be built with a larger PAGE_SIZE, and use of getpagesize() would break that badly. PAGE_MASK got the same treatment, as it is closely tied to PAGE_SIZE.

* uml: iRQ stacksJeff Dike2007-05-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a separate IRQ stack. This differs from i386 in having the entire interrupt run on a separate stack rather than starting on the normal kernel stack and switching over once some preparation has been done. The underlying mechanism, is of course, sigaltstack. Another difference is that interrupts that happen in userspace are handled on the normal kernel stack. These cause a wait wakeup instead of a signal delivery so there is no point in trying to switch stacks for these. There's no other stuff on the stack, so there is no extra stack consumption. This quirk makes it possible to have the entire interrupt run on a separate stack - process preemption (and calls to schedule()) happens on a normal kernel stack. If we enable CONFIG_PREEMPT, this will need to be rethought. The IRQ stack for CPU 0 is declared in the same way as the initial kernel stack. IRQ stacks for other CPUs will be allocated dynamically. An extra field was added to the thread_info structure. When the active thread_info is copied to the IRQ stack, the real_thread field points back to the original stack. This makes it easy to tell where to copy the thread_info struct back to when the interrupt is finished. It also serves as a marker of a nested interrupt. It is NULL for the first interrupt on the stack, and non-NULL for any nested interrupts. Care is taken to behave correctly if a second interrupt comes in when the thread_info structure is being set up or taken down. I could just disable interrupts here, but I don't feel like giving up any of the performance gained by not flipping signals on and off. If an interrupt comes in during these critical periods, the handler can't run because it has no idea what shape the stack is in. So, it sets a bit for its signal in a global mask and returns. The outer handler will deal with this signal itself. Atomicity is had with xchg. A nested interrupt that needs to bail out will xchg its signal mask into pending_mask and repeat in case yet another interrupt hit at the same time, until the mask stabilizes. The outermost interrupt will set up the thread_info and xchg a zero into pending_mask when it is done. At this point, nested interrupts will look at ->real_thread and see that no setup needs to be done. They can just continue normally. Similar care needs to be taken when exiting the outer handler. If another interrupt comes in while it is copying the thread_info, it will drop a bit into pending_mask. The outer handler will check this and if it is non-zero, will loop, set up the stack again, and handle the interrupt.

* uml: network and pcap cleanupJeff Dike2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some network device cleanup. When setup_etheraddr found a globally valid MAC being assigned to an interface, it went ahead and used it rather than assigning a random MAC like the other cases do. This isn't really an error like the others, but it seems consistent to make it behave the same. We were getting some duplicate kfree() in the error case in eth_configure because platform_device_unregister frees buffers that the error cases following tried to free again. The pcap initialization routine wasn't doing the proper printk of its information, causing a printk of the first part of that line to be unterminated by a newline. The pcap code had a bunch of style violations, which are now fixed. pcap_setup wasn't returning false when it detected an unrecognized option. The printks in pcap_user all got UM_KERN_BLAH prepended to their format strings. pcap_remove now checks for a non-NULL pcap structure before it calls pcap_close.

* uml: more page fault path trimmingJeff Dike2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | More trimming of the page fault path. Permissions are passed around in a single int rather than one bit per int. The permission values are copied from libc so that they can be passed to mmap and mprotect without any further conversion. The register sets used by do_syscall_stub and copy_context_skas0 are initialized once, at boot time, rather than once per call. wait_stub_done checks whether it is getting the signals it expects by comparing the wait status to a mask containing bits for the signals of interest rather than comparing individually to the signal numbers. It also has one check for a wait failure instead of two. The caller is expected to do the initial continue of the stub. This gets rid of an argument and some logic. The fname argument is gone, as that can be had from a stack trace. user_signal() is collapsed into userspace() as it is basically one or two lines of code afterwards. The physical memory remapping stuff is gone, as it is unused. flush_tlb_page is inlined.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Send as many I/O requests to the I/O thread as possible, even though it will still only handle one at a time. This provides an opportunity to reduce latency by starting one request before the previous one has been finished in the driver. Request handling is somewhat modernized by requesting sg pieces of a request and handling them separately, finishing off the entire request after all the pieces are done. When a request queue stalls, normally because its pipe to the I/O thread is full, it is put on the restart list. This list is processed by starting up the queues on it whenever there is some indication that progress might be possible again. Currently, this happens in the driver interrupt routine. Some requests have been finished, so there is likely to be room in the pipe again. This almost doubles throughput when copying data between devices, but made no noticable difference on anything else I tried.

* uml: start fixing os_read_file and os_write_fileJeff Dike2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch starts the removal of a very old, very broken piece of code. This stems from the problem of passing a userspace buffer into read() or write() on the host. If that buffer had not yet been faulted in, read and write will return -EFAULT. To avoid this problem, the solution was to fault the buffer in before the system call by touching the pages that hold the buffer by doing a copy-user of a byte to each page. This is obviously bogus, but it does usually work, in tt mode, since the kernel and process are in the same address space and userspace addresses can be accessed directly in the kernel. In skas mode, where the kernel and process are in separate address spaces, it is completely bogus because the userspace address, which is invalid in the kernel, is passed into the system call instead of the corresponding physical address, which would be valid. Here, it appears that this code, on every host read() or write(), tries to fault in a random process page. This doesn't seem to cause any correctness problems, but there is a performance impact. This patch, and the ones following, result in a 10-15% performance gain on a kernel build. This code can't be immediately tossed out because when it is, you can't log in. Apparently, there is some code in the console driver which depends on this somehow. However, we can start removing it by switching the code which does I/O using kernel addresses to using plain read() and write(). This patch introduces os_read_file_k and os_write_file_k for use with kernel buffers and converts all call locations which use obvious kernel buffers to use them. These include I/O using buffers which are local variables which are on the stack or kmalloc-ed. Later patches will handle the less obvious cases, followed by a mass conversion back to the original interface.

| | | | | | | | | | It turns out that essentially none of the x86_64 bugs.c is needed. So, we can delete most of it.

* uml: speed up page table walkingJeff Dike2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | The previous page table walking code was horribly inefficient. This patch replaces it with code taken from elsewhere in the kernel. Forking from bash is now ~5% faster and page faults are handled ~10% faster.

| | | | | | | | | | | | Define release methods for the ubd and net drivers. They contain as much of the remove methods as make sense. All error checking must have already been done as well as anything else that might be holding a reference on the device kobject.

* uml: kernel segfaults should dump proper registersJeff Dike2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If there's a segfault inside the kernel, we want a dump of the registers at the point of the segfault, not the registers at the point of calling panic or the last userspace registers. sig_handler_common_skas now uses a static register set in the case of a SIGSEGV to avoid messing up the process registers if the segfault turns out to be non-fatal. The architecture sigcontext-to-pt_regs copying code was repurposed to copy data out of the SEGV stack frame.

* uml: tidy fault codeJeff Dike2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Tidying in preparation for the segfault register dumping patch which follows. void * pointers are changed to union uml_pt_regs *. This makes the types match reality, except in arch_fixup, which is changed to operate on a union uml_pt_regs. This fixes a bug in the call from segv_handler, which passes a union uml_pt_regs, to segv, which expects to pass a struct sigcontext to arch_fixup. Whitespace and other style fixes. There's also a errno printk fix.
