2008-02-08uml: runtime host VMSPLIT detectionJeff Dike
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.

2008-02-05uml: install panic notifier earlierJeff Dike
It turns out that if there's a panic early enough, UML will just sit there in the LED-blinking loop because the panic notifier hadn't been installed yet. This patch installs it earlier. It also fixes the problem which exposed the hang, namely that if you give UML a zero-sized initrd, it will ask alloc_bootmem for zero bytes, and that will cause the panic. While I was in initrd.c, I gave it a style makeover. Prompted by checkpatch, I moved a couple extern declarations of uml_exitcode to kern_util.h.

2008-02-05uml: clean up TASK_SIZE usageJeff Dike
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.

2008-02-05uml: tidy kern_util.hJeff Dike
Tidy kern_util.h. It turns out that most of the function declarations aren't used, so they can go away. os.h no longer includes kern_util.h, so files which got it through os.h now need to include it directly. A number of other files never needed it, so these includes are deleted. The structure which was used to pass signal handlers from the kernel side to the userspace side is gone. Instead, the handlers are declared here, and used directly from libc code. This allows arch/um/os-Linux/trap.c to be deleted, with its remnants being moved to arch/um/os-Linux/skas/trap.c. arch/um/os-Linux/tty.c had its inclusions changed, and it needed some style attention, so it got tidied.

2007-10-16uml: fix stub address calculationsJeff Dike
The calculation of CONFIG_STUB_CODE and CONFIG_STUB_DATA didn't take into account anything but 3G/1G and 2G/2G, leaving the other vmsplits out in the cold. I'd rather not duplicate the four known host vmsplit cases for each of these symbols. I'd also like to calculate them based on the highest userspace address. The Kconfig language seems not to allow calculation of hex constants, so I moved this to as-layout.h. CONFIG_STUB_CODE, CONFIG_STUB_DATA, and CONFIG_STUB_START are now gone. In their place are STUB_CODE, STUB_DATA, and STUB_START in as-layout.h. i386 and x86_64 seem to differ as to whether an unadorned constant is an int or a long, so I cast them to unsigned long so they can be printed consistently. However, they are also used in stub.S, where C types don't work so well. So, there are ASM_ versions of these constants for use in stub.S. I also ifdef-ed the non-asm-friendly portion of as-layout.h. With this in place, most of the rest of this patch is changing CONFIG_STUB_* to STUB_*, except in stub.S, where they are changed to ASM_STUB_*. defconfig has the old symbols deleted. I also print these addresses out in case there is any problem mapping them on the host. The two stub.S files had some trailing whitespace, so that is cleaned up here.

2007-10-16uml: remove code made redundant by CHOOSE_MODE removalJeff Dike
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.

2007-10-16uml: throw out CHOOSE_MODEJeff Dike
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.

2007-10-16uml: throw out CONFIG_MODE_TTJeff Dike
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.

2006-03-27[PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changesAlan Stern
The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe. There is no protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2 We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage classes: "Blocking" chains are always called from a process context and the callout routines are allowed to sleep; "Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and the callout routines are not allowed to sleep. We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in kernel/sys.c. With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to handle these things in their own way.) There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code had to be changed to avoid it.) Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much less frequent that calling a chain. Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder. ATOMIC CHAINS ------------- arch/i386/kernel/traps.c: i386die_chain arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c: ia64die_chain arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c: powerpc_die_chain arch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c: sparc64die_chain arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c: die_chain drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c: xaction_notifier_list kernel/panic.c: panic_notifier_list kernel/profile.c: task_free_notifier net/bluetooth/hci_core.c: hci_notifier net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c: ip_conntrack_chain net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c: ip_conntrack_expect_chain net/ipv6/addrconf.c: inet6addr_chain net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: nf_conntrack_chain net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: nf_conntrack_expect_chain net/netlink/af_netlink.c: netlink_chain BLOCKING CHAINS --------------- arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c: pSeries_reconfig_chain arch/s390/kernel/process.c: idle_chain arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c idle_notifier drivers/base/memory.c: memory_chain drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c cpufreq_policy_notifier_list drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c cpufreq_transition_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/adb.c: adb_client_list drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c sleep_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c sleep_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c wf_client_list drivers/usb/core/notify.c usb_notifier_list drivers/video/fbmem.c fb_notifier_list kernel/cpu.c cpu_chain kernel/module.c module_notify_list kernel/profile.c munmap_notifier kernel/profile.c task_exit_notifier kernel/sys.c reboot_notifier_list net/core/dev.c netdev_chain net/decnet/dn_dev.c: dnaddr_chain net/ipv4/devinet.c: inetaddr_chain It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong. If they are, please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems. (However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be atomic.)

2006-03-23[PATCH] x86: SMP alternativesGerd Hoffmann
Implement SMP alternatives, i.e. switching at runtime between different code versions for UP and SMP. The code can patch both SMP->UP and UP->SMP. The UP->SMP case is useful for CPU hotplug. With CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG enabled the code switches to UP at boot time and when the number of CPUs goes down to 1, and switches to SMP when the number of CPUs goes up to 2. Without CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG or on non-SMP-capable systems the code is patched once at boot time (if needed) and the tables are released afterwards. The changes in detail: * The current alternatives bits are moved to a separate file, the SMP alternatives code is added there. * The patch adds some new elf sections to the kernel: .smp_altinstructions like .altinstructions, also contains a list of alt_instr structs. .smp_altinstr_replacement like .altinstr_replacement, but also has some space to save original instruction before replaving it. .smp_locks list of pointers to lock prefixes which can be nop'ed out on UP. The first two are used to replace more complex instruction sequences such as spinlocks and semaphores. It would be possible to deal with the lock prefixes with that as well, but by handling them as special case the table sizes become much smaller. * The sections are page-aligned and padded up to page size, so they can be free if they are not needed. * Splitted the code to release init pages to a separate function and use it to release the elf sections if they are unused.

This eliminates the practice of passing a pointer to printf or printk in, depending on where in the boot process we are. - Major tidying of not_dead_yet - mostly error path cleanup, plus a comment explaining why it doesn't react to errors the way you might expect. - Calls to os_* interfaces that were moved under os are changed back to their native libc forms. - snprintf, strlcpy, and their bounds-checking friends are used more often, replacing by-hand bounds checking in some places.

2005-11-07[PATCH] uml: big memory fixesJeff Dike
A number of fixes to improve behavior when large physical memory sizes are specified: - libc files need -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 because there are unavoidable uses of non-64 interfaces in libc - some %d need to be %u Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com> Cc: Paolo Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-09-30[PATCH] uml: clear SKAS0/3 flags when running in TT modePaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
SEGV_MAYBE_FIXABLE tests ptrace_faultinfo, and depends on it being 1 only in SKAS3 mode, while currently when running with mode=tt it will be 1 anyway. Fix this, and do the same for proc_mm.

2005-09-05[PATCH] uml: workaround GDB problems on debuggingPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Apparently, GDB gets confused when we do an execvp() on ourselves. Since it's simply done to allocate further space for command line arguments (which we'll use to allow gathering the startup command line for guest processes through the host), allow the user to disable that to get a debuggable UML binary.

2005-05-28[PATCH] uml: remove jail mode + other leftoversPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
This var is currently useless, as it's apparent from reading the code. Until 2.6.11 it was used in some code related to jail mode, in the same proc.: if(jail){ while(!reading) sched_yield(); } jail mode has been dropped, together with that use, so let's finish dropping this. Also, remove some other useless definitions I met.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
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. Let it rip!
