2006-05-03[PATCH] uml: change timer initializationJeff Dike
inet_init, which schedules, is called before the UML timer_init, which sets up the timer. The result is the interval timers being manipulated before the appropriate signal handlers are established, causing unhandled timers. This is fixed by making timer_init be called earlier.

GCC hardened introduces additional symbol refererences (for the canary and friends), also in modules - add weak export_symbols for them.

2006-05-01[PATCH] uml: cleanup unprofile expression and build infrastructurePaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
*) Rather than duplicate in various buggy ways the application of CFLAGS_NO_HARDENING and UNPROFILE (which apply to the same files), centralize it in Makefile.rules. UNPROFILE_OBJS mustn't be listed in USER_OBJS but are compiled as such. I've also verified that unprofile didn't work in the current form, because we set _c_flags directly (using CFLAGS and not USER_CFLAGS, which is wrong), which is normally used by c_flags, but we also override c_flags for all USER_OBJS, and there we don't call unprofile. Instead it only worked for unmap.o, the only one which wasn't a USER_OBJ. We need to set c_flags (which is not a public Kbuild API) to clear a lot of compilation flags like -nostdinc which Kbuild forces on everything. *) Rather than $(CFLAGS_$(notdir $@)), which expands to CFLAGS_anObj.s when building "anObj.s", use $(CFLAGS_$(*F).o) which always accesses CFLAGS_anObj.o, like done by Kbuild. *) Make c_flags apply to all targets having the same basename, rather than listing .s, .i, .lst and .o, with the use (which I tested) of $(USER_OBJS:.o=.%): c_flags = ... and of - $(obj)/unmap.c: _c_flags = ... + $(obj)/unmap.%: _c_flags = ...

2006-05-01[PATCH] uml: fix compilation and execution with hardened GCCPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
To make some half-assembly stubs compile, disable various "hardened" GCC features: *) we can't make it build PIC code as we need %ebx to do syscalls and GCC wants it free for PIC *) we can't leave stack protection as the stub is moved (not relocated!) in memory so the RIP-relative access to the canary tries reading from an unmapped address and causes a segfault, since we move the stub of various megabytes (the exact amount will be decided at runtime) away from the link-time address.

2006-03-31[PATCH] uml: implement {get,set}_thread_area for i386Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Implement sys_[gs]et_thread_area and the corresponding ptrace operations for UML. This is the main chunk, additional parts follow. This implementation is now well tested and has run reliably for some time, and we've understood all the previously existing problems. Their implementation saves the new GDT content and then forwards the call to the host when appropriate, i.e. immediately when the target process is running or on context switch otherwise (i.e. on fork and on ptrace() calls). In SKAS mode, we must switch registers on each context switch (because SKAS does not switches tls_array together with current->mm). Also, added get_cpu() locking; this has been done for SKAS mode, since TT does not need it (it does not use smp_processor_id()).

2006-03-31[PATCH] uml: clean arch_switch usagePaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Call arch_switch also in switch_to_skas, even if it's, for now, a no-op for that case (and mark this in the comment); this will change soon. Also, arch_switch for TT mode is actually useless when the PT proxy (a complicate debugging instrumentation for TT mode) is not enabled. In fact, it only calls update_debugregs, which checks debugregs_seq against seq (to check if the registers are up-to-date - seq here means a "version number" of the registers). If the ptrace proxy is not enabled, debugregs_seq always stays 0 and update_debugregs will be a no-op. So, optimize this out (the compiler can't do it). Also, I've been disappointed by the fact that it would make a lot of sense if, after calling a successful update_debugregs(current->thread.arch.debugregs_seq), current->thread.arch.debugregs_seq were updated with the new debugregs_seq. But this is not done. Is this a bug or a feature? For all purposes, it seems a bug (otherwise the whole mechanism does not make sense, which is also a possibility to check), which causes some performance only problems (not correctness), since we write_debugregs when not needed. Also, as suggested by Jeff, remove a redundant enabling of SIGVTALRM, comprised in the subsequent local_irq_enable(). I'm just a bit dubious if ordering matters there...

2006-03-31[PATCH] uml: split ldt.h in arch-independent and arch-dependant codePaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
ldt-{i386,x86_64}.h is made of two different parts - some code for parsing of LDT descriptors, which is arch-dependant, and the code to handle uml_ldt_t (an LDT block inside UML), which is mostly arch-independant (among x86 and x86_64, at least). Join the common part in a single file (ldt.h) and split the rest away (host_ldt-{i386,x86_64}.h). This is needed because processor.h, with next patches, will start including the LDT descriptor parsing macros in host_ldt.h, but it can't include ldt.h because it uses semaphores (and to define semaphores one must first include processor.h!).

2006-03-31[PATCH] uml: idle thread needn't take access to init_mmPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Comparing this code which is the actual body of the arch-independent cpu_idle(), it is clear that it's unnecessary to set ->mm and ->active_mm; beyond that, a kernel thread is not supposed to have ->mm != NULL, only active_mm. This showed up because I used the assumption (which is IMHO valid) that kernel thread have their ->mm == NULL, and it failed for this thread.
