Stanislaw Gruszka 4dbed85a35 uml: stop gdb from deleting breakpoints when running UML
Sometimes when UML is debugged gdb miss breakpoints.

When process traced by gdb do fork, debugger remove breakpoints from
child address space. There is possibility to trace more than one fork,
but this not work with UML, I guess (only guess) there is a deadlock -
gdb waits for UML and UML waits for gdb.

When clone() is called with SIGCHLD and CLONE_VM flags, gdb see this
as PTRACE_EVENT_FORK not as PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE and remove breakpoints
from child and at the same time from traced process, because either
have the same address space.

Maybe it is possible to do fix in gdb, but I'm not sure if there is
easy way to find out if traced and child processes share memory. So I
do fix for UML, it simply do not call clone() with both SIGCHLD and
CLONE_VM flags together.  Additionally __WALL flag is used for
waitpid() to assure not miss clone and normal process events.

Jeff Dike 364e3a3d8a uml: fix !NO_HZ busy-loop
With NO_HZ disabled, the UML idle loop effectively becomes a busy loop, as
it will sleep for no time.

The cause was forgetting to restart the tick after waking up from sleep.
It was disabled before sleeping, and the remaining time used as the
interval to sleep.  So, the tick needs to be restarted when nanosleep
finishes.

This is done by introducing after_sleep_interval, which is empty in the
NO_HZ case, but which sets the tick starting in the !NO_HZ case.

Lepton Wu a24864a1d5 uml: definitively kill subprocesses on panic
In a stock 2.6.22.6 kernel, poweroff a user mode linux guest (2.6.22.6 running
in skas0 mode) will halt the host linux.  I think the reason is the kernel
thread abort because of a bug.  Then the sys_reboot in process of user mode
linux guest is not trapped by the user mode linux kernel and is executed by
host.  I think it is better to make sure all of our children process to quit
when user mode linux kernel abort.

loop is needed to make sure that all of our children are dead before the

Jeff Dike 54ae36f24b uml: fix stub address calculations
The calculation of CONFIG_STUB_CODE and CONFIG_STUB_DATA didn't take into
account anything but 3G/1G and 2G/2G, leaving the other vmsplits out in the
cold.

I'd rather not duplicate the four known host vmsplit cases for each of these
symbols.  I'd also like to calculate them based on the highest userspace
address.

The Kconfig language seems not to allow calculation of hex constants, so I
moved this to as-layout.h.  CONFIG_STUB_CODE, CONFIG_STUB_DATA, and
CONFIG_STUB_START are now gone.  In their place are STUB_CODE, STUB_DATA, and
STUB_START in as-layout.h.

i386 and x86_64 seem to differ as to whether an unadorned constant is an int
or a long, so I cast them to unsigned long so they can be printed
consistently.  However, they are also used in stub.S, where C types don't work
so well.  So, there are ASM_ versions of these constants for use in stub.S.  I
also ifdef-ed the non-asm-friendly portion of as-layout.h.

With this in place, most of the rest of this patch is changing CONFIG_STUB_*
to STUB_*, except in stub.S, where they are changed to ASM_STUB_*.

defconfig has the old symbols deleted.

I also print these addresses out in case there is any problem mapping them on
the host.

The two stub.S files had some trailing whitespace, so that is cleaned up here.

Jeff Dike b53f35a809 uml: network driver MTU cleanups
A bunch of MTU-related cleanups in the network code.

First, there is the addition of the notion of a maximally-sized packet, which
is the MTU plus headers.  This is used to size the skb that will receive a
packet.  This allows ether_adjust_skb to go away, as it was used to resize the
skb after it was allocated.

Since the skb passed into the low-level read routine is no longer resized, and
possibly reallocated, there, they (and the write routines) don't need to get
an sk_buff **.  They just need the sk_buff * now.  The callers of
ether_adjust_skb still need to do the skb_put, so that's now inlined.

The MAX_PACKET definitions in most of the drivers are gone.

The set_mtu methods were all the same and did nothing, so they can be
removed.

The ethertap driver had a typo which doubled the size of the packet rather
than adding two bytes to it.  It also wasn't defining its setup_size, causing
a zero-byte kmalloc and crash when the invalid pointer returned from kmalloc
was dereferenced.

tglx pointed out in his review of tickless support that there was a
perfectly good implementation of it in linux/time.h.  The problem is that
this is userspace code which can't pull in kernel headers and there doesn't
seem to be a libc version.

So, I'm copying the version from linux/time.h rather than resurrecting my
version.  This causes some declaration changes as it now returns a signed
value rather than an unsigned value.

Jeff Dike b160fb6309 uml: eliminate interrupts in the idle loop
Now, the idle loop now longer needs SIGALRM firing - it can just sleep for the
requisite amount of time and fake a timer interrupt when it finishes.

Any use of ITIMER_REAL now goes away.  disable_timer only turns off
ITIMER_VIRTUAL.  switch_timers is no longer needed, so it, and all calls, goes
away.

disable_timer now returns the amount of time remaining on the timer.
default_idle uses this to tell idle_sleep how long to sleep.  idle_sleep will
call alarm_handler if nanosleep returns 0, which is the case if it didn't
return early due to an interrupt.  Otherwise, it just returns.

Jeff Dike 181bde801a uml: fix timer switching
Fix up the switching between virtual and real timers.  The idle loop sleeps,
so the timer at that point must be real time.  At all other times, the timer
must be virtual.  Even when userspace is running, and the kernel is asleep,
the virtual timer is correct because the process timer will be running and the
process timer will be firing.

The timer switch used to be in the context switch and timer handler code.
This is moved to the idle loop and the signal handler, making it much more
clear why it is happening.

switch_timers now returns the old timer type so that it may be restored.  The
signal handler uses this in order to restore the previous timer type when it
returns.

Jeff Dike a5f6096c80 uml: floating point signal delivery fixes
Handle floating point state in across signals correctly.  UML/i386 needs to
know whether the host does PTRACE_[GS]ETFPXREGS, so an arch_init_registers
hook is added, which on x86_64 does nothing.

UML doesn't save and restore floating point registers on kernel entry and
exit, so they need to be copied between the host process and the sigcontext.
save_fpx_registers and restore_fpx_registers are added for this purpose.
save_fp_registers and restore_fp_registers already exist.

There was a bunch of floating point state conversion code in
arch/um/sys-i386/ptrace.c which isn't needed there, but is needed in signal.c,
so it is moved over.

The i386 code now distinguishes between fp and fpx state and handles them
correctly.  The x86_64 code just needs to copy state as-is between the host
process and the stack.  There are also some fixes there to pass the correct
address of the floating point state around.

Jeff Dike 42fda66387 uml: throw out CONFIG_MODE_TT
This patchset throws out tt mode, which has been non-functional for a while.

This is done in phases, interspersed with code cleanups on the affected files.

The removal is done as follows:
	remove all code, config options, and files which depend on
CONFIG_MODE_TT
	get rid of the CHOOSE_MODE macro, which decided whether to
call tt-mode or skas-mode code, and replace invocations with their
skas portions
	replace all now-trivial procedures with their skas equivalents

There are now a bunch of now-redundant pieces of data structures, including
mode-specific pieces of the thread structure, pt_regs, and mm_context.  These
are all replaced with their skas-specific contents.

As part of the ongoing style compliance project, I made a style pass over all
files that were changed.  There are three such patches, one for each phase,
covering the files affected by that phase but no later ones.

I noticed that we weren't freeing the LDT state associated with a process when
it exited, so that's fixed in one of the later patches.

The last patch is a tidying patch which I've had for a while, but which caused
inexplicable crashes under tt mode.  Since that is no longer a problem, this
can now go in.

This patch:

Start getting rid of tt mode support.

This patch throws out CONFIG_MODE_TT and all config options, code, and files
which depend on it.

CONFIG_MODE_SKAS is gone and everything that depends on it is included
unconditionally.

The few changed lines are in re-written Kconfig help, lines which needed
something skas-related removed from them, and a few more which weren't
strictly deletions.

Jeff Dike 42daba3165 uml: stop saving process FP state
Throw out a lot of code dealing with saving and restoring floating-point
state.  In skas mode, where processes run in a restoring floating-point state
on kernel entry and exit is pointless.

This eliminates most of arch/um/os-Linux/sys-{i386,x86_64}/registers.c.  Most
of what remained is now arch-indpendent, and can be moved up to
arch/um/os-Linux/registers.c.  Both arches need the jmp_buf accessor
get_thread_reg, and i386 needs {save,restore}_fp_regs because it cheats during
sigreturn by getting the fp state using ptrace rather than copying it out of
the process sigcontext.

After this, it turns out that arch/um/include/skas/mode-skas.h is almost
completely unneeded.  The declarations in it are variables which either don't
exist or which don't have global scope.  The one exception is
kill_off_processes_skas.  If that's removed, this header can be deleted.

This uncovered a bug in user.h, which wasn't correctly making sure that a
size_t definition was available to both userspace and kernelspace files.

Jeff Dike 508a92741a uml: fix irqstack crash
This patch fixes a crash caused by an interrupt coming in when an IRQ stack
is being torn down.  When this happens, handle_signal will loop, setting up
the IRQ stack again because the tearing down had finished, and handling
whatever signals had come in.

However, to_irq_stack returns a mask of pending signals to be handled, plus
bit zero is set if the IRQ stack was already active, and thus shouldn't be
torn down.  This causes a problem because when handle_signal goes around
the loop, sig will be zero, and to_irq_stack will duly set bit zero in the
returned mask, faking handle_signal into believing that it shouldn't tear
down the IRQ stack and return thread_info pointers back to their original
values.

This will eventually cause a crash, as the IRQ stack thread_info will
continue pointing to the original task_struct and an interrupt will look
into it after it has been freed.

The fix is to stop passing a signal number into to_irq_stack.  Rather, the
pending signals mask is initialized beforehand with the bit for sig already
set.  References to sig in to_irq_stack can be replaced with references to
the mask.

Nicolas George 2c392a4f47 uml: use correct type in BLKGETSIZE ioctl
I found a type mismatch in UML that makes host block devices unusable as ubd
devices on x86_64 and other 64 bits systems (segfault of the mm subsystem):

In block/ioctl.c, the following lines show that the BLKGETSIZE ioctl expects
a pointer to a long:

	case BLKGETSIZE:
		if ((bdev->bd_inode->i_size >> 9) > ~0UL)
			return -EFBIG;
		return put_ulong(arg, bdev->bd_inode->i_size >> 9);

In arch/um/os-Linux/file.c, os_file_size calls it with an int.

The ioctl_list man page should be fixed as well.

case (os_drop_memory), the annotation was present but wrong.

init_maps is __init, but for some reason was being very careful about the
mechanism by which it allocated memory, checking whether it was OK to use
kmalloc (at this point in the boot, it definitely isn't) and using either
alloc_bootmem_low_pages or kmalloc/vmalloc.  So, the kmalloc/vmalloc code is

Jeff Dike 1a65f493c3 uml: fix string exporting on UML/i386
In 2.6.23-rc1, i386 fiddled its string support such that UML started getting
undefined references from modules.  The UML asm/string.h was including the
i386 string.h, which defined __HAVE_ARCH_STR*, but the corresponding
implementations weren't being pulled in.

This is fixed by adding arch/i386/lib/string.h to the list of host
architecture files to be pulled in to UML.

A complication is that the libc exports file assumed that the generic strlen
and strstr weren't in use (i.e.  __HAVE_ARCH_STR is defined), then they aren't
exported.  This is untrue for strlen, which is exported in either case, so
this logic is not needed.

Cleanup of the SIGWINCH support.

Some code and comment reformatting.

The stack used for SIGWINCH threads was leaked.  This is now fixed by storing
it with the pid and other information, and freeing it when the thread is
killed.

If something goes wrong with a WIGWINCH thread, and this is discovered in the
interrupt handler, the winch record would leak.  It is now freed, except that
the IRQ isn't freed.  This is hard to do from interrupt context.  This has the
side-effect that the IRQ system maintains a reference to the freed structure,
but that shouldn't cause a problem since the descriptor is disabled.

register_winch_irq is now much better about cleaning up after an
initialization failure.

Jeff Dike c14b84949e uml: iRQ stacks
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.

Permissions are passed around in a single int rather than one bit per

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.

Jeff Dike 3d564047a5 uml: start fixing os_read_file and os_write_file
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

Jeff Dike 377fad3acb uml: kernel segfaults should dump proper registers
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.

Tidying in preparation for the segfault register dumping patch which follows.

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
union uml_pt_regs, to segv, which expects to pass a struct sigcontext to
arch_fixup.

Whitespace and other style fixes.

There's also a errno printk fix.

Jeff Dike f34d9d2dcb uml: network interface hotplug error handling
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

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.

Jeff Dike 14251809b1 [PATCH] uml: host VDSO fix
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.

Jeff Dike 838e56a11c [PATCH] uml: fix 2.6.20 hang
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.

Jeff Dike f355559cf7 [PATCH] uml: x86_64 thread fixes
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.

Jeff Dike 3a150e1da8 [PATCH] uml: fix error output during early boot
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.

Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso 5d48545e5e [PATCH] uml: make execvp safe for our usage
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).
