2008-05-13uml: fix build when SLOB is enabledJeff Dike
Reintroduce uml_kmalloc for the benefit of UML libc code. The previous tactic of declaring __kmalloc so it could be called directly from the libc side of the house turned out to be getting too intimate with slab, and it doesn't work with slob. So, the uml_kmalloc wrapper is back. It calls kmalloc or whatever that translates into, and libc code calls it. kfree is left alone since that still works, leaving a somewhat inconsistent API.

2008-02-08CONFIG_HIGHPTE vs. sub-page page tables.Martin Schwidefsky
Background: I've implemented 1K/2K page tables for s390. These sub-page page tables are required to properly support the s390 virtualization instruction with KVM. The SIE instruction requires that the page tables have 256 page table entries (pte) followed by 256 page status table entries (pgste). The pgstes are only required if the process is using the SIE instruction. The pgstes are updated by the hardware and by the hypervisor for a number of reasons, one of them is dirty and reference bit tracking. To avoid wasting memory the standard pte table allocation should return 1K/2K (31/64 bit) and 2K/4K if the process is using SIE. Problem: Page size on s390 is 4K, page table size is 1K or 2K. That means the s390 version for pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a struct page. Trouble is that with the CONFIG_HIGHPTE feature on x86 pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a pte either, since that would require more than 32 bit for the return value of pte_alloc_one (and the pte * would not be accessible since its not kmapped). Solution: The only solution I found to this dilemma is a new typedef: a pgtable_t. For s390 pgtable_t will be a (pte *) - to be introduced with a later patch. For everybody else it will be a (struct page *). The additional problem with the initialization of the ptl lock and the NR_PAGETABLE accounting is solved with a constructor pgtable_page_ctor and a destructor pgtable_page_dtor. The page table allocation and free functions need to call these two whenever a page table page is allocated or freed. pmd_populate will get a pgtable_t instead of a struct page pointer. To get the pgtable_t back from a pmd entry that has been installed with pmd_populate a new function pmd_pgtable is added. It replaces the pmd_page call in free_pte_range and apply_to_pte_range.

2008-02-05uml: fix page table data sizesJeff Dike
Get the sizes of various pieces of data right when using three-level page tables. pgd and pmd entries remain at 32 bits in a 32-bit compilation because page tables will remain in low memory. So, PGDIR_SHIFT, the PTRS_PER_* values, set_pud, set_pmd are conditional on 64BIT. More use of phys_t is made when there are physical memory addresses floating around. ObCheckpatchViolationJustification - the new typedef is an alternate definition of pmd_t, which I can't really live without.

2008-02-05uml: header untanglingJeff Dike
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.

2007-10-16uml: get rid of do_longjmpJeff Dike
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 *.

2007-07-24uml: more __init annotationsJeff Dike
2.6.23-rc1 turned up another batch of references from non-__init code to __init code. In most cases, these were missing __init annotations. In one case (os_drop_memory), the annotation was present but wrong. init_maps is __init, but for some reason was being very careful about the mechanism by which it allocated memory, checking whether it was OK to use kmalloc (at this point in the boot, it definitely isn't) and using either alloc_bootmem_low_pages or kmalloc/vmalloc. So, the kmalloc/vmalloc code is removed.

2007-03-29[PATCH] uml: fix LVM crashJason Lunz
Permit lvm to create logical volumes without crashing UML. When device-mapper's DM_DEV_CREATE_CMD ioctl is called to create a new device, dev_create()->dm_create()->alloc_dev()-> blk_queue_bounce_limit(md->queue, BLK_BOUNCE_ANY) is called. blk_queue_bounce_limit(BLK_BOUNCE_ANY) calls init_emergency_isa_pool() if blk_max_pfn < blk_max_low_pfn. This is the case on UML, but init_emergency_isa_pool() hits BUG_ON(!isa_page_pool) because there doesn't seem to be a dma zone on UML for mempool_create() to allocate from. Most architectures seem to have max_low_pfn == max_pfn, but UML doesn't because of the uml_reserved chunk it keeps for itself. From what I can see, max_pfn and max_low_pfn don't get much use after the bootmem-allocator stops being used anyway, except that they initialize the block layer's blk_max_low_pfn/blk_max_pfn. This ensures init_emergency_isa_pool() doesn't crash uml in this situation by setting max_low_pfn == max_pfn in mem_init().
