* [PATCH] vDSO hash-style fixRoland McGrath2006-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The latest toolchains can produce a new ELF section in DSOs and dynamically-linked executables. The new section ".gnu.hash" replaces ".hash", and allows for more efficient runtime symbol lookups by the dynamic linker. The new ld option --hash-style={sysv|gnu|both} controls whether to produce the old ".hash", the new ".gnu.hash", or both. In some new systems such as Fedora Core 6, gcc by default passes --hash-style=gnu to the linker, so that a standard invocation of "gcc -shared" results in producing a DSO with only ".gnu.hash". The new ".gnu.hash" sections need to be dealt with the same way as ".hash" sections in all respects; only the dynamic linker cares about their contents. To work with older dynamic linkers (i.e. preexisting releases of glibc), a binary must have the old ".hash" section. The --hash-style=both option produces binaries that a new dynamic linker can use more efficiently, but an old dynamic linker can still handle. The new section runs afoul of the custom linker scripts used to build vDSO images for the kernel. On ia64, the failure mode for this is a boot-time panic because the vDSO's PT_IA_64_UNWIND segment winds up ill-formed. This patch addresses the problem in two ways. First, it mentions ".gnu.hash" in all the linker scripts alongside ".hash". This produces correct vDSO images with --hash-style=sysv (or old tools), with --hash-style=gnu, or with --hash-style=both. Second, it passes the --hash-style=sysv option when building the vDSO images, so that ".gnu.hash" is not actually produced. This is the most conservative choice for compatibility with any old userland. There is some concern that some ancient glibc builds (though not any known old production system) might choke on --hash-style=both binaries. The optimizations provided by the new style of hash section do not really matter for a DSO with a tiny number of symbols, as the vDSO has. If someone wants to use =gnu or =both for their vDSO builds and worry less about that compatibility, just change the option and the linker script changes will make any choice work fine.

* [PATCH] UML - fix utsname build breakageJeff Dike2006-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | Some -mm-only material leaked into a patch destined for mainline, and I didn't notice. This was the replacement of system_utsname with utsname() that's required by the uts namespace patch. This patch reverts those changes (which are correct in -mm) so that mainline UML builds again.

* [PATCH] uml: timer initialization cleanupJeff Dike2006-07-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This cleans up the mess that is the timer initialization. There used to be two timer handlers - one that basically ran during delay loop calibration and one that handled the timer afterwards. There were also two sets of timer initialization code - one that starts in user code and calls into the kernel side of the house, and one that starts in kernel code and calls user code. This eliminates one timer handler and consolidates the two sets of initialization code.

* [PATCH] uml: clean up address space limits codeTyler2006-07-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I was looking at the code of the UML and more precisely at the functions set_task_sizes_tt and set_task_sizes_skas.

* | [PATCH] uml: rename and improve actually_do_remove()Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2006-07-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rename actually_do_remove() to remove_files_and_dir(), make it call closedir(), make it ignore ENOENT (I see it frequently enough). ENOENT is probably due to multiple threads calling the exitcall functions together*, but fixing that is non-trivial; and ignoring it is perfectly ok in any case. * it can surely happen: last_ditch_exit() is installed as SIGTERM handler at boot, and it's not removed on thread creation. So killall vmlinux (which I do) surely causes that. I've seen also a crash which seems to do the same. Installing the handler on only the main thread would make UML do no cleanup when another thread exits, and we're not sure we want that. And mutual exclusion in that context is tricky - we can't use spinlock in code not on a kernel stack (spinlock debugging uses "current" a lot).

* | [PATCH] uml: fix not_dead_yet when directory is in bad statePaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2006-07-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The bug occurred to me when a UML left an empty ~/.uml/Sarge-norm folder - when trying to reuse not_dead_yet() failed one of its check. The comment says that's ok and means that we can take the directory, but while normally not_dead_yet() removes it and returns 0 (i.e. go on, use this), on failure it returns 0 but forgets to remove it. The fix is to remove it anytime we're going to return 0. But since "not_dead_yet" didn't make the interface so clear, causing this bug, and I couldn't find a convenient name for the mix of things it did, I split it into two parts: is_umdir_used() - returns a boolean, contains all checks of not_dead_yet() umdir_take_if_dead - tries to remove the dir unless it's used - returns whether it removed it, that is we now own it. With this changes the control flow is IMHO a bit clearer and needs less comment for control flow.

This is made by adding another kmap_atomic slot and making copy_*_user_skas use kmap_atomic; also copy_*_user() becomes atomic, but that's true and is not a problem for i386 (and we can always add might_sleep there as done elsewhere). For TT mode kmap is not used, so there's no need for this. I've had to use another slot since both KM_USER0 and KM_USER1 are used elsewhere and could cause conflicts. Till now we reused the kmap_atomic slot list from the subarch, but that's not needed as that list must contain the common ones (used by generic code) + the ones used in architecture specific code (and Uml till now used none); so I've taken the i386 one after comparing it with ones from other archs, and added KM_UML_USERCOPY.

* | [PATCH] uml: unregister useless console when it's not neededJeff Dike2006-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | -mm in combination with an FC5 init started dying with 'stderr=1' because init didn't like the lack of /dev/console and exited. The problem was that the stderr console, which is intended to dump printk output to the terminal before the regular console is initialized, isn't a tty, and so can't make /dev/console operational. However, since it is registered first, the normal console, when it is registered, doesn't become the preferred console, and isn't attached to /dev/console. Thus, /dev/console is never operational. This patch makes the stderr console unregister itself in an initcall, which is late enough that the normal console is registered. When that happens, the normal console will become the preferred console and will be able to run /dev/console.

* | [PATCH] genirq: rename desc->handler to desc->chipIngo Molnar2006-06-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch-queue improves the generic IRQ layer to be truly generic, by adding various abstractions and features to it, without impacting existing functionality. While the queue can be best described as "fix and improve everything in the generic IRQ layer that we could think of", and thus it consists of many smaller features and lots of cleanups, the one feature that stands out most is the new 'irq chip' abstraction. The irq-chip abstraction is about describing and coding and IRQ controller driver by mapping its raw hardware capabilities [and quirks, if needed] in a straightforward way, without having to think about "IRQ flow" (level/edge/etc.) type of details. This stands in contrast with the current 'irq-type' model of genirq architectures, which 'mixes' raw hardware capabilities with 'flow' details. The patchset supports both types of irq controller designs at once, and converts i386 and x86_64 to the new irq-chip design. As a bonus side-effect of the irq-chip approach, chained interrupt controllers (master/slave PIC constructs, etc.) are now supported by design as well. The end result of this patchset intends to be simpler architecture-level code and more consolidation between architectures. We reused many bits of code and many concepts from Russell King's ARM IRQ layer, the merging of which was one of the motivations for this patchset. This patch: rename desc->handler to desc->chip. Originally i did not want to do this, because it's a big patch. But having both "desc->handler", "desc->handle_irq" and "action->handler" caused a large degree of confusion and made the code appear alot less clean than it truly is. I have also attempted a dual approach as well by introducing a desc->chip alias - but that just wasnt robust enough and broke frequently. So lets get over with this quickly. The conversion was done automatically via scripts and converts all the code in the kernel. This renaming patch is the first one amongst the patches, so that the remaining patches can stay flexible and can be merged and split up without having some big monolithic patch act as a merge barrier.
