2007-02-11[PATCH] uml: return hotplug errors to hostJeff Dike
I noticed that errors happening while hotplugging devices from the host were never returned back to the mconsole client. In some cases, success was returned instead of even an information-free error. This patch cleans that up by having the low-level configuration code pass back an error string along with an error code. At the top level, which knows whether it is early boot time or responding to an mconsole request, the string is printk'd or returned to the mconsole client. There are also whitespace and trivial code cleanups in the surrounding code.

2007-02-11[PATCH] uml: console locking fixesJeff Dike
Clean up the console driver locking. There are various problems here, including sleeping under a spinlock and spinlock recursion, some of which are fixed here. This patch deals with the locking involved with opens and closes. The problem is that an mconsole request to change a console's configuration can race with an open. Changing a configuration should only be done when a console isn't opened. Also, an open must be looking at a stable configuration. In addition, a get configuration request must observe the same locking since it must also see a stable configuration. With the old locking, it was possible for this to hang indefinitely in some cases because open would block for a long time waiting for a connection from the host while holding the lock needed by the mconsole request. As explained in the long comment, this is fixed by adding a spinlock for the use count and configuration and a mutex for the actual open and close.

Use the same signal frame alignment calculations as the underlying architecture. x86_64 appeared to do this, but the "- 8" was really subtracting 8 * sizeof(struct rt_sigframe) rather than 8 bytes.

2006-12-08[PATCH] tty: ->signal->tty lockingPeter Zijlstra
Fix the locking of signal->tty. Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used by most other members of ->signal/->sighand. And unless we are 'current' or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway. (NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules) Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid. Otherwise the lifetime of ttys are governed by their open file handles. This leaves some holes for tty access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access). It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing. (NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info invocations) [schwidefsky@de.ibm.com: 3270 fix] [akpm@osdl.org: various post-viro fixes] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Cc: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Cc: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Cc: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Cc: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Cc: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> Cc: "David S.

2006-11-25[PATCH] uml: make execvp safe for our usagePaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Reimplement execvp for our purposes - after we call fork() it is fundamentally unsafe to use the kernel allocator - current is not valid there. So we simply pass to our modified execvp() a preallocated buffer. This fixes a real bug and works very well in testing (I've seen indirectly warning messages from the forked thread - they went on the pipe connected to its stdout and where read as a number by UML, when calling read_output(). I verified the obtained number corresponded to "BUG:"). The added use of __cant_sleep() is not a new bug since __cant_sleep() is already used in the same function - passing an atomicity parameter would be better but it would require huge change, stating that this function must not be called in atomic context and can sleep is a better idea (will make sure of this gradually).

We were inconsistent in this, and this patch adds syscall.h includes where necessary and removes linux/unistd.h includes where they are not needed. asm/unistd.h also includes the __NR_* constants, but these are not the glibc-sanctioned ones, so this also removes one such inclusion.

2006-11-03[PATCH] uml: fix I/O hangJeff Dike
Fix a UML hang in which everything would just stop until some I/O happened - a ping, someone whacking the keyboard - at which point everything would start up again as though nothing had happened. The cause was gcc reordering some code which absolutely needed to be executed in the order in the source. When unblock_signals switches signals from off to on, it needs to see if any interrupts had happened in the critical section. The interrupt handlers check signals_enabled - if it is zero, then the handler adds a bit to the "pending" bitmask and returns. unblock_signals checks this mask to see if any signals need to be delivered. The crucial part is this: signals_enabled = 1; save_pending = pending; if(save_pending == 0) return; pending = 0; In order to avoid an interrupt arriving between reading pending and setting it to zero, in which case, the record of the interrupt would be erased, signals are enabled. What happened was that gcc reordered this so that 'save_pending = pending' came before 'signals_enabled = 1', creating a one-instruction window within which an interrupt could arrive, set its bit in pending, and have it be immediately erased. When the I/O workload is purely disk-based, the loss of a block device interrupt stops the entire I/O system because the next block request will wait for the current one to finish. Thus the system hangs until something else causes some I/O to arrive, such as a network packet or console input. The fix to this particular problem is a memory barrier between enabling signals and reading the pending signal mask. An xchg would also probably work. Looking over this code for similar problems led me to do a few more things: - make signals_enabled and pending volatile so that they don't get cached in registers - add an mb() to the return paths of block_signals and unblock_signals so that the modification of signals_enabled doesn't get shuffled into the caller in the event that these are inlined in the future.

2006-10-31[PATCH] uml ubd driver: ubd_io_lock usage fixupPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Add some comments about requirements for ubd_io_lock and expand its use. When an irq signals that the "controller" (i.e. another thread on the host, which does the actual requests and is the only one blocked on I/O on the host) has done some work, we call again the request function ourselves (do_ubd_request). We now do that with ubd_io_lock held - that's useful to protect against concurrent calls to elv_next_request and so on. XXX: Maybe we shouldn't call at all the request function. Input needed on this. Are we supposed to plug and unplug the queue? That code "indirectly" does that by setting a flag, called do_ubd, which makes the request function return (it's a residual of 2.4 block layer interface). Meanwhile, however, merge this patch, which improves things.

Ditto. * once we'd seen stop, there's a period when INTR commands are executed out of order (as they should; we might have the things stuck badly enough to never reach mconsole_stop(), but still not badly enough to block mconsole_interrupt(); in that situation we _want_ things like "cad" to be executed immediately). Once we enter monsole_stop(), all INTR commands will be executed in order, mixed with PROC ones. We'd better let user see that such change of behaviour has happened. (Suggested by lennert). * stack footprint of monsole_interrupt() is an atrocity; AFAICS we can safely make struct mc_request req; static in function there.

2006-10-20[PATCH] uml: mmapper - remove just added but wrong "const" attributePaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
When enabling the mmapper driver I got warnings because this "const" miscdevice structure is passed to function as non-const pointer; unlike struct tty_operations, however, I verified that misc_{de,}register _do_ modify their parameter, so this const attribute must be removed. Since the purpose of the change was to guarantee that no lock was needed, add a comment to prove this differently.

2006-10-20[PATCH] uml: cleanup run_helper() API to fix a leakPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Freeing the stack is left uselessly to the caller of run_helper in some cases - this is taken from run_helper_thread, but here it is useless, so no caller needs it and the only place where this happens has a potential leak - in case of error neither run_helper() nor xterm_open() call free_stack(). At this point passing a pointer is not needed - the stack pointer should be passed directly, but this change is not done here.

2006-10-20[PATCH] uml: use DEFCONFIG_LIST to avoid reading host's configPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
This should make sure that, for UML, host's configuration files are not considered, which avoids various pains to the user. Our dependency are such that the obtained Kconfig will be valid and will lead to successful compilation - however they cannot prevent an user from disabling any boot device, and if an option is not set in the read .config (say /boot/config-XXX), with make menuconfig ARCH=um, it is not set. This always disables UBD and all console I/O channels, which leads to non-working UML kernels, so this bothers users - especially now, since it will happen on almost every machine (/boot/config-`uname -r` exists almost on every machine). It can be workarounded with make defconfig ARCH=um, but it is non-obvious and can be avoided, so please _do_ merge this patch. Given the existence of options, it could be interesting to implement (additionally) "option required" - with it, Kconfig will refuse reading a .config file (from wherever it comes) if the given option is not set. With this, one could mark with it the option characteristic of the given architecture (it was an old proposal of Roman Zippel, when I pointed out our problem): config UML option required default y However this should be further discussed: *) for x86, it must support constructs like: ==arch/i386/Kconfig== config 64BIT option required default n where Kconfig must require that CONFIG_64BIT is disabled or not present in the read .config. *) do we want to do such checks only for the starting defconfig or also for .config? Which leads to: *) I may want to port a x86_64 .config to x86 and viceversa, or even among more different archs. Should that be allowed, and in which measure (the user may force skipping the check for a .config or it is only given a warning by default)?

I need this patch to get a UML kernel to compile. This is with the kernel headers in FC6 which are automatically generated from the kernel tree. Some headers are missing but those files don't need them. At least it appears so since the resuling kernel works fine. Tested on x86-64.

Now that various memory splits are enabled, add a config option allowing the user to compile UML for its need - HOST_2G_2G allowed to choose either 3G/1G or 2G/2G, and enabling it reduced the usable virtual memory. Detecting this at run time should be implemented in the future, but we must make the stop-gap measure work well enough (this is valid in _many_ cases).
