Add a separate IRQ stack. This differs from i386 in having the entire
interrupt run on a separate stack rather than starting on the normal kernel
stack and switching over once some preparation has been done. The underlying
mechanism, is of course, sigaltstack.
Another difference is that interrupts that happen in userspace are handled on
the normal kernel stack. These cause a wait wakeup instead of a signal
delivery so there is no point in trying to switch stacks for these. There's
no other stuff on the stack, so there is no extra stack consumption.
This quirk makes it possible to have the entire interrupt run on a separate
stack - process preemption (and calls to schedule()) happens on a normal
kernel stack. If we enable CONFIG_PREEMPT, this will need to be rethought.
The IRQ stack for CPU 0 is declared in the same way as the initial kernel
stack. IRQ stacks for other CPUs will be allocated dynamically.
An extra field was added to the thread_info structure. When the active
thread_info is copied to the IRQ stack, the real_thread field points back to
the original stack. This makes it easy to tell where to copy the thread_info
struct back to when the interrupt is finished. It also serves as a marker of
a nested interrupt. It is NULL for the first interrupt on the stack, and
non-NULL for any nested interrupts.
Care is taken to behave correctly if a second interrupt comes in when the
thread_info structure is being set up or taken down. I could just disable
interrupts here, but I don't feel like giving up any of the performance gained
by not flipping signals on and off.
If an interrupt comes in during these critical periods, the handler can't run
because it has no idea what shape the stack is in. So, it sets a bit for its
signal in a global mask and returns. The outer handler will deal with this
signal itself.
Atomicity is had with xchg. A nested interrupt that needs to bail out will
xchg its signal mask into pending_mask and repeat in case yet another
interrupt hit at the same time, until the mask stabilizes.
The outermost interrupt will set up the thread_info and xchg a zero into
pending_mask when it is done. At this point, nested interrupts will look at
->real_thread and see that no setup needs to be done. They can just continue
normally.
Similar care needs to be taken when exiting the outer handler. If another
interrupt comes in while it is copying the thread_info, it will drop a bit
into pending_mask. The outer handler will check this and if it is non-zero,
will loop, set up the stack again, and handle the interrupt.

More trimming of the page fault path.
Permissions are passed around in a single int rather than one bit per
int. The permission values are copied from libc so that they can be
passed to mmap and mprotect without any further conversion.
The register sets used by do_syscall_stub and copy_context_skas0 are
initialized once, at boot time, rather than once per call.
wait_stub_done checks whether it is getting the signals it expects by
comparing the wait status to a mask containing bits for the signals of
interest rather than comparing individually to the signal numbers. It
also has one check for a wait failure instead of two. The caller is
expected to do the initial continue of the stub. This gets rid of an
argument and some logic. The fname argument is gone, as that can be
had from a stack trace.
user_signal() is collapsed into userspace() as it is basically one or
two lines of code afterwards.
The physical memory remapping stuff is gone, as it is unused.
flush_tlb_page is inlined.

Give the page fault code a specialized path. There is only one page to look
at, so there's no point in going into the general page table walking code.
There's only going to be one host operation, so there are no opportunities for
merging. So, we go straight to the pte we want, figure out what needs doing,
and do it.
While I was in here, I fixed the wart where the address passed to unmap was a
void *, but an unsigned long to map and protect.
This gives me just under 10% on a kernel build.

Code running on the initial UML stack can't receive or process signals since
current must be valid when IRQs are handled, and there is no current for this
stack.
So, instead of using UML_LONGJMP and UML_SETJMP, which are careful to save and
restore signal state, and, as a side-effect, handle any deferred signals,
start_idle_thread must use the bare equivalents, which don't do anything with
signals.

This patch converts calls in the os layer to os_{read,write}_file to calls
directly to libc read() and write() where it is clear that the I/O buffer is
in the kernel.
We can do that here instead of calling os_{read,write}_file_k since we are in
libc code and can call libc directly.
With the change in the calls, error handling needs to be changed to refer to
errno directly rather than the return value of the call.
CATCH_EINTR wrappers were also added where needed.

This patch starts the removal of a very old, very broken piece of code. This
stems from the problem of passing a userspace buffer into read() or write() on
the host. If that buffer had not yet been faulted in, read and write will
return -EFAULT.
To avoid this problem, the solution was to fault the buffer in before the
system call by touching the pages that hold the buffer by doing a copy-user of
a byte to each page. This is obviously bogus, but it does usually work, in tt
mode, since the kernel and process are in the same address space and userspace
addresses can be accessed directly in the kernel.
In skas mode, where the kernel and process are in separate address spaces, it
is completely bogus because the userspace address, which is invalid in the
kernel, is passed into the system call instead of the corresponding physical
address, which would be valid. Here, it appears that this code, on every host
read() or write(), tries to fault in a random process page. This doesn't seem
to cause any correctness problems, but there is a performance impact. This
patch, and the ones following, result in a 10-15% performance gain on a kernel
build.
This code can't be immediately tossed out because when it is, you can't log
in. Apparently, there is some code in the console driver which depends on
this somehow.
However, we can start removing it by switching the code which does I/O using
kernel addresses to using plain read() and write(). This patch introduces
os_read_file_k and os_write_file_k for use with kernel buffers and converts
all call locations which use obvious kernel buffers to use them. These
include I/O using buffers which are local variables which are on the stack or
kmalloc-ed. Later patches will handle the less obvious cases, followed by a
mass conversion back to the original interface.

If there's a segfault inside the kernel, we want a dump of the registers at
the point of the segfault, not the registers at the point of calling panic or
the last userspace registers.
sig_handler_common_skas now uses a static register set in the case of a
SIGSEGV to avoid messing up the process registers if the segfault turns out to
be non-fatal.
The architecture sigcontext-to-pt_regs copying code was repurposed to copy
data out of the SEGV stack frame.

void * pointers are changed to union uml_pt_regs *. This makes the types
match reality, except in arch_fixup, which is changed to operate on a union
uml_pt_regs. This fixes a bug in the call from segv_handler, which passes a

arch_fixup.

This patch narrows the sigio interface. The boot-time SIGIO testing used to
be in start_up.c, which meant that pty_output_sigio and pty_close_sigio needed
to be global. By moving that code here, those can become static and the
declarations moved from user_util.h.
os_check_bugs is also here because it only does the SIGIO checking. If it
does more, it'll probably move back to start_up.c.

This fixes a number of problems associated with network interface hotplug.
The userspace initialization function can fail in some cases, but the
failure was never passed back to eth_configure, which proceeded with the
configuration. This results in a zombie device that is present, but can't
work. This is fixed by allowing the initialization routines to return an
error, which is checked, and the configuration aborted on failure.
eth_configure failed to check for many failures. Even when it did check,
it didn't undo whatever initializations has already happened, so a present,
but partially initialized and non-working device could result. It now
checks everything that can fail, and bails out, undoing whatever had been
done.
The return value of eth_configure was always ignored, so it is now just
void.

This patch uses MAX_REG_NR consistently to refer to the register file size.
FRAME_SIZE isn't sufficient because on x86_64, it is smaller than the
ptrace register file size. MAX_REG_NR was introduced as a consistent way
to get the number of registers, but wasn't used everywhere it should be.
When this causes a problem, it makes PTRACE_SETREGS fail on x86_64 because
of a corrupted segment register value in the known-good register file. The
patch also adds a register dump at that point in case there are any future
problems here.

This fixes a problem seen by a number of people running UML on newer host
kernels. init would hang with an infinite segfault loop.
It turns out that the host kernel was providing a AT_SYSINFO_EHDR of
0xffffe000, which faked UML into believing that the host VDSO page could be
reused. However, AT_SYSINFO pointed into the middle of the address space, and
was unmapped as a result. Because UML was providing AT_SYSINFO_EHDR and
AT_SYSINFO to its own processes, these would branch to nowhere when trying to
use the VDSO.
The fix is to also check the location of AT_SYSINFO when deciding whether to
use the host's VDSO.

A previous cleanup misused need_poll, which had a fairly broken interface.
It implemented a growable array, changing the used elements count itself,
but leaving it up to the caller to fill in the actual elements, including
the entire array if the array had to be reallocated. This worked because
the previous users were switching between two such structures, and the
elements were copied from the inactive array to the active array after
making sure the active array had enough room.
maybe_sigio_broken was made to use need_poll, but it was operating on a
single array, so when the buffer was reallocated, the previous contents
were lost.
This patch makes need_poll implement more sane semantics. It merely
assures that the array is of the proper size and that the contents are
preserved. It is up to the caller to adjust the used elements count and to
ensure that the proper elements are resent.
This manifested itself as a hang in 2.6.20 as the uninitialized buffer
convinced UML that one of its own file descriptors didn't support SIGIO and
needed to be watched by poll in a separate thread. The result was an
interrupt flood as control traffic over this descriptor sparked interrupts,
which resulted in more control traffic, ad nauseum.

x86_64 needs some TLS fixes. What was missing was remembering the child
thread id during clone and stuffing it into the child during each context
switch.
The %fs value is stored separately in the thread structure since the host
controls what effect it has on the actual register file. The host also needs
to store it in its own thread struct, so we need the value kept outside the
register file.
arch_prctl_skas was fixed to call PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL appropriately. There is
some saving and restoring of registers in the ARCH_SET_* cases so that the
correct set of registers are changed on the host and restored to the process
when it runs again.

The startup code panics a lot if anything goes wrong early on. This is wrong
for several reasons, like the kernel isn't running, so you can't really be
calling into it yet, but the harm comes from useful error messages being
trapped in the printk ring where no one will ever see them.
This patch changes these panics to perror and printf in wrappers which also
exit. Normal, informational, prints are also wrapped so that fflush(stdout)
is called after each one. This is so the output appears in the correct
sequence in the event of an error.

Add an error message when two umids are put on the command line.
umid.h is kind of pointless since it only declares one thing, and that
is already declared in os.h.
Commented the lack of locking of some data in os-Linux/umid.h.

We shouldn't be using the os wrappers from os code - we can use libc directly.
This patch replaces wrapper calls with libc calls.
It turns out that os_sigio_async had only one caller, which was in startup.c,
so that function is moved there and its name changed.
