2006-03-31[PATCH] uml: add arch_switch_to for newly forked threadPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Newly forked threads have no arch_switch_to_skas() called before their first run, because when schedule() switches to them they're resumed in the body of thread_wait() inside fork_handler() rather than in switch_threads() in switch_to_skas(). Compensate this missing call.

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.

2006-03-31[PATCH] UML: Hotplug memory, take 2Jeff Dike
Changes since first version added check for MADV_REMOVE support on the host fixed error return botch shrunk sprintf array by one character This adds hotplug memory support to UML. The mconsole syntax is config mem=[+-]n[KMG] In other words, add or subtract some number of kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes. Unplugged pages are allocated and then madvise(MADV_TRUNCATE), which is a currently experimental madvise extension. These pages are tracked so they can be plugged back in later if the admin decides to give them back. The first page to be unplugged is used to keep track of about 4M of other pages. A list_head is the first thing on this page. The rest is filled with addresses of other unplugged pages. This first page is not madvised, obviously. When this page is filled, the next page is used in a similar way and linked onto a list with the first page. Etc. This whole process reverses when pages are plugged back in. When a tracking page no longer tracks any unplugged pages, then it is next in line for plugging, which is done by freeing pages back to the kernel.

2006-03-31[PATCH] i386 kdump timer vector lockup fixVivek Goyal
Porting the patch I posted for x86_64 to i386. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=114178139610707&w=2 o While using kdump, after a system crash when second kernel boots, timer vector gets (0x31) locked and CPU does not see timer interrupts travelling from IOAPIC to APIC. Currently it does not lead to boot failure in second kernel as timer interrupts continues to come as ExtInt through LAPIC directly, but fixing it is good in case some boards do not support the other mode. o After a system crash, it is not safe to service interrupts any more, hence interrupts are disabled. This leads to pending interrupts at LAPIC. LAPIC sends these interrupts to the CPU during early boot of second kernel. Other pending interrupts are discarded saying unexpected trap but timer interrupt is serviced and CPU does not issue an LAPIC EOI because it think this interrupt came from i8259 and sends ack to 8259. This leads to vector 0x31 locking as LAPIC does not clear respective ISR and keeps on waiting for EOI. o This patch issues extra EOI for the pending interrupts who have ISR set. o Though today only timer seems to be the special case because in early boot it thinks interrupts are coming from i8259 and uses mask_and_ack_8259A() as ack handler and does not issue LAPIC EOI. But probably doing it in generic manner for all vectors makes sense. Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@in.ibm.com> Cc: "Eric W.

2006-03-30[PATCH] Introduce sys_splice() system callJens Axboe
This adds support for the sys_splice system call. Using a pipe as a transport, it can connect to files or sockets (latter as output only). From the splice.c comments: "splice": joining two ropes together by interweaving their strands. This is the "extended pipe" functionality, where a pipe is used as an arbitrary in-memory buffer. Think of a pipe as a small kernel buffer that you can use to transfer data from one end to the other. The traditional unix read/write is extended with a "splice()" operation that transfers data buffers to or from a pipe buffer. Named by Larry McVoy, original implementation from Linus, extended by Jens to support splicing to files and fixing the initial implementation bugs.

2006-03-28[PATCH] pidhash: don't count idle threadsOleg Nesterov
fork_idle() does unhash_process() just after copy_process(). Contrary, boot_cpu's idle thread explicitely registers itself for each pid_type with nr = 0. copy_process() already checks p->pid != 0 before process_counts++, I think we can just skip attach_pid() calls and job control inits for idle threads and kill unhash_process(). We don't need to cleanup ->proc_dentry in fork_idle() because with this patch idle threads are never hashed in kernel/pid.c:pid_hash[]. We don't need to hash pid == 0 in pidmap_init(). free_pidmap() is never called with pid == 0 arg, so it will never be reused. So it is still possible to use pid == 0 in any PIDTYPE_xxx namespace from kernel/pid.c's POV. However with this patch we don't hash pid == 0 for PIDTYPE_PID case. We still have have PIDTYPE_PGID/PIDTYPE_SID entries with pid == 0: /sbin/init and kernel threads which don't call daemonize(). Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Cc: "Eric W.
