2006-09-26[PATCH] uml: Remove unused variableJeff Dike
timer_irq_inited was useless, so it is removed. Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-09-26[PATCH] uml: Move signal handlers to arch codeJeff Dike
Have most signals go through an arch-provided handler which recovers the sigcontext and then calls a generic handler. This replaces the ARCH_GET_SIGCONTEXT macro, which was somewhat fragile. On x86_64, recovering %rdx (which holds the sigcontext pointer) must be the first thing that happens. sig_handler duly invokes that first, but there is no guarantee that I can see that instructions won't be reordered such that %rdx is used before that. Having the arch provide the handler seems much more robust. Some signals in some parts of UML require their own handlers - these places don't call set_handler any more. They call sigaction or signal themselves. Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-07-10[PATCH] uml: timer initialization cleanupJeff Dike
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.

2006-01-18[PATCH] uml: implement soft interruptsJeff Dike
This patch implements soft interrupts. Interrupt enabling and disabling no longer map to sigprocmask. Rather, a flag is set indicating whether interrupts may be handled. If a signal comes in and interrupts are marked as OK, then it is handled normally. If interrupts are marked as off, then the signal handler simply returns after noting that a signal needs handling. When interrupts are enabled later on, this pending signals flag is checked, and the IRQ handlers are called at that point. The point of this is to reduce the cost of local_irq_save et al, since they are very much more common than the signals that they are enabling and disabling. Soft interrupts produce a speed-up of ~25% on a kernel build. Subtleties - UML uses sigsetjmp/siglongjmp to switch contexts. sigsetjmp has been wrapped in a save_flags-like macro which remembers the interrupt state at setjmp time, and restores it when it is longjmp-ed back to. The enable_signals function has to loop because the IRQ handler disables interrupts before returning. enable_signals has to return with signals enabled, and signals may come in between the disabling and the return to enable_signals. So, it loops for as long as there are pending signals, ensuring that signals are enabled when it finally returns, and that there are no pending signals that need to be dealt with.

2006-01-18[PATCH] uml: move libc-dependent skas process handlingGennady Sharapov
The serial UML OS-abstraction layer patch (um/kernel/skas dir). This moves all systemcalls from skas/process.c file under os-Linux dir and join skas/process.c and skas/process_kern.c files.

2006-01-18[PATCH] uml: change interface to boot_timer_handlerBodo Stroesser
Current implementation of boot_timer_handler isn't usable for s390. So I changed its name to do_boot_timer_handler, taking (struct sigcontext *)sc as argument. do_boot_timer_handler is called from new boot_timer_handler() in arch/um/os-Linux/signal.c, which uses the same mechanisms as other signal handler to find out sigcontext pointer.

2005-05-05[PATCH] uml: s390 preparation, sighandler interface abstractionBodo Stroesser
s390 passes parameters in registers. So the only safe way to find out the address of signal context, error-address and error-type (trap_no), which are passed to signal handlers as parameters, is to declare these parameters. So I inserted an subarch-specific macro which holds the declaration of parameters for signal handlers.

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!
