* uml: runtime host VMSPLIT detectionJeff Dike2008-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: clean up TASK_SIZE usageJeff Dike2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* uml: header untanglingJeff Dike2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 <>. 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 *.

* uml: remove code made redundant by CHOOSE_MODE removalJeff Dike2007-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* uml: throw out CHOOSE_MODEJeff Dike2007-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The next stage after removing code which depends on CONFIG_MODE_TT is removing the CHOOSE_MODE abstraction, which provided both compile-time and run-time branching to either tt-mode or skas-mode code. This patch removes choose-mode.h and all inclusions of it, and replaces all CHOOSE_MODE invocations with the skas branch. This leaves a number of trivial functions which will be dealt with in a later patch. There are some changes in the uaccess and tls support which go somewhat beyond this and eliminate some of the now-redundant functions.

* uml: throw out CONFIG_MODE_TTJeff Dike2007-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [PATCH] uml: thread creation tidyingJeff Dike2006-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fork on UML has always somewhat subtle. The underlying cause has been the need to initialize a stack for the new process. The only portable way to initialize a new stack is to set it as the alternate signal stack and take a signal. The signal handler does whatever initialization is needed and jumps back to the original stack, where the fork processing is finished. The basic context switching mechanism is a jmp_buf for each process. You switch to a new process by longjmping to its jmp_buf. Now that UML has its own implementation of setjmp and longjmp, and I can poke around inside a jmp_buf without fear that libc will change the structure, a much simpler mechanism is possible. The jmpbuf can simply be initialized by hand. This eliminates - the need to set up and remove the alternate signal stack sending and handling a signal the signal blocking needed around the stack switching, since there is no stack switching setting up the jmp_buf needed to jump back to the original stack after the new one is set up In addition, since jmp_buf is now defined by UML, and not by libc, it can be embedded in the thread struct. This makes it unnecessary to have it exist on the stack, where it used to be. It also simplifies interfaces, since the switch jmp_buf used to be a void * inside the thread struct, and functions which took it as an argument needed to define a jmp_buf variable and assign it from the void *.

* [PATCH] uml: stack usage reductionJeff Dike2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The KSTK_* macros used an inordinate amount of stack. In order to overcome an impedance mismatch between their interface, which just returns a single register value, and the interface of get_thread_regs, which took a full pt_regs, the implementation created an on-stack pt_regs, filled it in, and returned one field. do_task_stat calls KSTK_* twice, resulting in two local pt_regs, blowing out the stack. This patch changes the interface (and name) of get_thread_regs to just return a single register from a jmp_buf. The include of archsetjmp.h" in registers.h to get the definition of jmp_buf exposed a bogus include of <setjmp.h> in start_up.c. <setjmp.h> shouldn't be used anywhere any more since UML uses the klibc setjmp/longjmp.

* [PATCH] uml: breakpoint an arbitrary threadJeff Dike2005-09-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements a stack trace for a thread, not unlike sysrq-t does. The advantage to this is that a break point can be placed on showreqs, so that upon showing the stack, you jump immediately into the debugger. While sysrq-t does the same thing, sysrq-t shows *all* threads stacks. It also doesn't work right now. In the future, I thought it might be acceptable to make this show all pids stacks, but perhaps leaving well enough alone and just using sysrq-t would be okay. For now, upon receiving the stack command, UML switches context to that thread, dumps its registers, and then switches context back to the original thread. Since UML compacts all threads into one of 4 host threads, this sort of mechanism could be expanded in the future to include other debugging helpers that sysrq does not cover. Note by jdike - The main benefit to this is that it brings an arbitrary thread back into context, where it can be examined by gdb. The fact that it dumps it stack is secondary. This provides the capability to examine a sleeping thread, which has existed in tt mode, but not in skas mode until now. Also, the other threads, that sysrq doesn't cover, can be gdb-ed directly anyway.

* [PATCH] uml: S390 preparation, abstract host page fault dataBodo Stroesser2005-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes the arch-specific fault/trap-infos from thread and skas-regs. It adds a new struct faultinfo, that is arch-specific defined in sysdep/faultinfo.h. The structure is inserted in thread.arch and thread.regs.skas and thread.regs.tt Now, segv and other trap-handlers can copy the contents from regs.X.faultinfo to thread.arch.faultinfo with one simple assignment. Also, the number of macros necessary is reduced to FAULT_ADDRESS(struct faultinfo) extracts the faulting address from faultinfo FAULT_WRITE(struct faultinfo) extracts the "is_write" flag SEGV_IS_FIXABLE(struct faultinfo) is true for the fixable segvs, i.e. (TRAP == 14) on i386 UPT_FAULTINFO(regs) result is (struct faultinfo *) to the faultinfo in regs->skas.faultinfo GET_FAULTINFO_FROM_SC(struct faultinfo, struct sigcontext *) copies the relevant parts of the sigcontext to struct faultinfo. On SIGSEGV, call user_signal() instead of handle_segv(), if the architecture provides the information needed in PTRACE_FAULTINFO, or if PTRACE_FAULTINFO is missing, because segv-stub will provide the info. The benefit of the change is, that in case of a non-fixable SIGSEGV, we can give user processes a SIGSEGV, instead of possibly looping on pagefault handling. Since handle_segv() sikked arch_fixup() implicitly by passing ip==0 to segv(), I changed segv() to call arch_fixup() only, if !is_user.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it.
