2005-08-29[PATCH] convert signal handling of NODEFER to act like other Unix boxes.Steven Rostedt
It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it. I've written a program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes, confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled. The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows: 1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked. 2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_ NetBSD 2.0 *). The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux: 1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this). 2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being handled is not blocked. The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to the way most Unix boxes work. Unix boxes that were tested: DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU 3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX. * NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like Linux. So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that behaves differently here with #2.

2005-08-27[PATCH] mmaper_kern.c fixes [buffer overruns]Al Viro
- copy_from_user() can fail; ->write() must check its return value. - severe buffer overruns both in ->read() and ->write() - lseek to the end (i.e. to mmapper_size) and if (count + *ppos > mmapper_size) count = count + *ppos - mmapper_size; will do absolutely nothing. Then it will call copy_to_user(buf,&v_buf[*ppos],count); with obvious results (similar for ->write()). Fixed by turning read to simple_read_from_buffer() and by doing normal limiting of count in ->write(). - gratitious lock_kernel() in ->mmap() - it's useless there. - lots of gratuitous includes.

2005-07-29[PATCH] uml: fix vsyscall brokennessJeff Dike
The #if/#ifdef cleanup exposed a bug in UML's ELF header processing. With this bug fixed, UML recognizes the vsyscall info coming from the host. On FC4, there is a vsyscall page low in the address space, which UML doesn't provide. This causes an infinite page fault loop and a hang on boot. This patch works around that by making this look like a no-vsyscall system.

2005-07-28[PATCH] uml: fix TT mode by reverting "use fork instead of clone"Jeff Dike
With Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it> Revert the following patch, because of miscompilation problems in different environments leading to UML not working *at all* in TT mode; it was merged lately in 2.6 development cycle, a little after being written, and has caused problems to lots of people; I know it's a bit too long, but it shouldn't have been merged in first place, so I still apply for inclusion in the -stable tree. Anyone using this feature currently is either using some older kernel (some reports even used 2.6.12-rc4-mm2) or using this patch, as included in my -bs patchset. For now there's not yet a fix for this patch, so for now the best thing is to drop it (which was widely reported to give a working kernel, and as such was even merged in -stable tree). "Convert the boot-time host ptrace testing from clone to fork. They were essentially doing fork anyway. This cleans up the code a bit, and makes valgrind a bit happier about grinding it."

A big bug has been diagnosed on hosts running the SKAS patch and built with CONFIG_REGPARM, due to some missing prevent_tail_call(). On these hosts, this workaround is needed to avoid triggering that bug, because "to" is kept by GCC only in EBX, which is corrupted at the return of mmap2(). Since to trigger this bug int 0x80 must be used when doing the call, it rarely manifests itself, so I'd prefer to get this merged to workaround that host bug, since it should cause no functional change.

2005-07-07[PATCH] uml: Proper clone support for skas0Bodo Stroesser
This patch implements the clone-stub mechanism, which allows skas0 to run with proc_mm==0, even if the clib in UML uses modify_ldt. Note: There is a bug in skas3.v7 host patch, that avoids UML-skas from running properly on a SMP-box. In full skas3, I never really saw problems, but in skas0 they showed up. More commentary by jdike - What this patch does is makes sure that the host parent of each new host process matches the UML parent of the corresponding UML process. This ensures that any changed LDTs are inherited. This is done by having clone actually called by the UML process from its stub, rather than by the kernel. We have special syscall stubs that are loaded onto the stub code page because that code must be completely self-contained. These stubs are given C interfaces, and used like normal C functions, but there are subtleties. Principally, we have to be careful about stack variables in stub_clone_handler after the clone. The code is written so that there aren't any - everything boils down to a fixed address. If there were any locals, references to them after the clone would be wrong because the stack just changed.

2005-07-07[PATCH] uml: skas0 - separate kernel address space on stock hostsJeff Dike
UML has had two modes of operation - an insecure, slow mode (tt mode) in which the kernel is mapped into every process address space which requires no host kernel modifications, and a secure, faster mode (skas mode) in which the UML kernel is in a separate host address space, which requires a patch to the host kernel. This patch implements something very close to skas mode for hosts which don't support skas - I'm calling this skas0. It provides the security of the skas host patch, and some of the performance gains. The two main things that are provided by the skas patch, /proc/mm and PTRACE_FAULTINFO, are implemented in a way that require no host patch. For the remote address space changing stuff (mmap, munmap, and mprotect), we set aside two pages in the process above its stack, one of which contains a little bit of code which can call mmap et al. To update the address space, the system call information (system call number and arguments) are written to the stub page above the code. The %esp is set to the beginning of the data, the %eip is set the the start of the stub, and it repeatedly pops the information into its registers and makes the system call until it sees a system call number of zero. This is to amortize the cost of the context switch across multiple address space updates. When the updates are done, it SIGSTOPs itself, and the kernel process continues what it was doing. For a PTRACE_FAULTINFO replacement, we set up a SIGSEGV handler in the child, and let it handle segfaults rather than nullifying them. The handler is in the same page as the mmap stub. The second page is used as the stack. The handler reads cr2 and err from the sigcontext, sticks them at the base of the stack in a faultinfo struct, and SIGSTOPs itself. The kernel then reads the faultinfo and handles the fault. A complication on x86_64 is that this involves resetting the registers to the segfault values when the process is inside the kill system call. This breaks on x86_64 because %rcx will contain %rip because you tell SYSRET where to return to by putting the value in %rcx. So, this corrupts $rcx on return from the segfault. To work around this, I added an arch_finish_segv, which on x86 does nothing, but which on x86_64 ptraces the child back through the sigreturn. This causes %rcx to be restored by sigreturn and avoids the corruption. Ultimately, I think I will replace this with the trick of having it send itself a blocked signal which will be unblocked by the sigreturn. This will allow it to be stopped just after the sigreturn, and PTRACE_SYSCALLed without all the back-and-forth of PTRACE_SYSCALLing it through sigreturn. This runs on a stock host, so theoretically (and hopefully), tt mode isn't needed any more. We need to make sure that this is better in every way than tt mode, though. I'm concerned about the speed of address space updates and page fault handling, since they involve extra round-trips to the child. We can amortize the round-trip cost for large address space updates by writing all of the operations to the data page and having the child execute them all at the same time. This will help fork and exec, but not page faults, since they involve only one page. I can't think of any way to help page faults, except to add something like PTRACE_FAULTINFO to the host. There is PTRACE_SIGINFO, but UML doesn't use siginfo for SIGSEGV (or anything else) because there isn't enough information in the siginfo struct to handle page faults (the faulting operation type is missing). Adding that would make PTRACE_SIGINFO a usable equivalent to PTRACE_FAULTINFO. As for the code itself: - The system call stub is in arch/um/kernel/sys-$(SUBARCH)/stub.S. It is put in its own section of the binary along with stub_segv_handler in arch/um/kernel/skas/process.c. This is manipulated with run_syscall_stub in arch/um/kernel/skas/mem_user.c. syscall_stub will execute any system call at all, but it's only used for mmap, munmap, and mprotect. - The x86_64 stub calls sigreturn by hand rather than allowing the normal sigreturn to happen, because the normal sigreturn is a SA_RESTORER in UML's address space provided by libc. Needless to say, this is not available in the child's address space. Also, it does a couple of odd pops before that which restore the stack to the state it was in at the time the signal handler was called. - There is a new field in the arch mmu_context, which is now a union. This is the pid to be manipulated rather than the /proc/mm file descriptor. Code which deals with this now checks proc_mm to see whether it should use the usual skas code or the new code. - userspace_tramp is now used to create a new host process for every UML process, rather than one per UML processor. It checks proc_mm and ptrace_faultinfo to decide whether to map in the pages above its stack. - start_userspace now makes CLONE_VM conditional on proc_mm since we need separate address spaces now. - switch_mm_skas now just sets userspace_pid[0] to the new pid rather than PTRACE_SWITCH_MM. There is an addition to userspace which updates its idea of the pid being manipulated each time around the loop. This is important on exec, when the pid will change underneath userspace(). - The stub page has a pte, but it can't be mapped in using tlb_flush because it is part of tlb_flush. This is why it's required for it to be mapped in by userspace_tramp. Other random things: - The stub section in uml.lds.S is page aligned. This page is written out to the backing vm file in setup_physmem because it is mapped from there into user processes. - There's some confusion with TASK_SIZE now that there are a couple of extra pages that the process can't use. TASK_SIZE is considered by the elf code to be the usable process memory, which is reasonable, so it is decreased by two pages. This confuses the definition of USER_PGDS_IN_LAST_PML4, making it too small because of the rounding down of the uneven division. So we round it to the nearest PGDIR_SIZE rather than the lower one. - I added a missing PT_SYSCALL_ARG6_OFFSET macro. - um_mmu.h was made into a userspace-usable file. - proc_mm and ptrace_faultinfo are globals which say whether the host supports these features. - There is a bad interaction between the mm.nr_ptes check at the end of exit_mmap, stack randomization, and skas0. exit_mmap will stop freeing pages at the PGDIR_SIZE boundary after the last vma. If the stack isn't on the last page table page, the last pte page won't be freed, as it should be since the stub ptes are there, and exit_mmap will BUG because there is an unfreed page. To get around this, TASK_SIZE is set to the next lowest PGDIR_SIZE boundary and mm->nr_ptes is decremented after the calls to init_stub_pte. This ensures that we know the process stack (and all other process mappings) will be below the top page table page, and thus we know that mm->nr_ptes will be one too many, and can be decremented. Things that need fixing: - We may need better assurrences that the stub code is PIC. - The stub pte is set up in init_new_context_skas. - alloc_pgdir is probably the right place.

2005-06-25[PATCH] uml: hot-unplug code cleanupJeff Dike
Clean up the hot-unplugging code. There is now an id procedure which is called to figure out what device we're talking to. The error messages from that are now done from mconsole_remove instead of the driver. remove is now called with the device number, after it has been checked, so doesn't need to do sanity checking on it.

2005-06-25[PATCH] uml: always disable kmalloc during shutdownJeff Dike
kmalloc wasn't being disabled during panic. This patch ensures that, no matter how UML is exiting, it is disabled. This matters because part of the cleanup is to remove the umid file, which involves readdir, which calls malloc. This must map to libc malloc, rather than kmalloc or vmalloc.

2005-06-25[PATCH] uml: fix timer initializationJeff Dike
In skas mode, the call to uml_idle_timer permanently shut off the virtual timer, resulting in no timer ticks to anything but the idle thread. This is likely the cause of the soft lockups that are seen sporadically in recent UMLs.

2005-06-25[PATCH] uml: fork cleanupJeff Dike
Fix the do_fork calling convention: normal arch pass the regs and the new sp value to do_fork instead of NULL. Currently the arch-independent code ignores these values, while the UML code (actually it's copy_thread) gets the right values by itself. With this patch, things are fixed up.

2005-06-23[PATCH] make each arch use mm/KconfigDave Hansen
For all architectures, this just means that you'll see a "Memory Model" choice in your architecture menu. For those that implement DISCONTIGMEM, you may eventually want to make your ARCH_DISCONTIGMEM_ENABLE a "def_bool y" and make your users select DISCONTIGMEM right out of the new choice menu. The only disadvantage might be if you have some specific things that you need in your help option to explain something about DISCONTIGMEM.

With Al Viro <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> To make sure switcheroo() can execute when we remap all the executable image, we used a trick to make it use a local copy of errno... this trick does not work with NPTL glibc, only with LinuxThreads, so use another (simpler) one to make it work anyway. Hopefully, a lot improved thanks to merging with the version of Al Viro (which had his part of problems, though, i.e. removing a fix to another bug and not fixing the problem on i386).

2005-06-21[PATCH] uml: add and use generic hw_controller_type->releasePaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
With Chris Wedgwood <cw@f00f.org> Currently UML must explicitly call the UML-specific free_irq_by_irq_and_dev() for each free_irq call it's done. This is needed because ->shutdown and/or ->disable are only called when the last "action" for that irq is removed. Instead, for UML shared IRQs (UML IRQs are very often, if not always, shared), for each dev_id some setup is done, which must be cleared on the release of that fd. For instance, for each open console a new instance (i.e. new dev_id) of the same IRQ is requested(). Exactly, a fd is stored in an array (pollfds), which is after read by a host thread and passed to poll(). Each event registered by poll() triggers an interrupt. So, for each free_irq() we must remove the corresponding host fd from the table, which we do via this -release() method. In this patch we add an appropriate hook for this, and remove all uses of it by pointing the hook to the said procedure; this is safe to do since the said procedure. Also some cosmetic improvements are included. This is heavily based on some work by Chris Wedgwood, which however didn't get the patch merged for something I'd call a "misunderstanding" (the need for this patch wasn't cleanly explained, thus adding the generic hook was felt as undesirable).
