2006-10-11[PATCH] uml: correct removal of pte_mkexecPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Correct commit 5906e4171ad61ce68de95e51b773146707671f80 - this makes more sense: we turn pte_mkexec + pte_wrprotect to pte_mkread. However, due to a bug in pte_mkread, it does the exact same thing as pte_mkwrite, so this patch improves the code but does not change anything in practice. The pte_mkread bug is fixed separately, as it may have big impact.

2006-10-02[PATCH] const struct tty_operationsJeff Dike
As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of structures in order to not have to document their locking. One of these structures was a struct tty_operations. In order to const it in UML without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to be fixed. This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const. In all cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations. As an extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra warnings. 53 drivers are affected. I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the last six months. serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.

2006-09-29[PATCH] simplify update_times (avoid jiffies/jiffies_64 aliasing problem)Atsushi Nemoto
Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390 timer interrupt handler with this change. Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update. Passing ticks get rid of this redundant calculation. Also there are another redundancy pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky. This cleanup make a barrier added by 5aee405c662ca644980c184774277fc6d0769a84 needless. So this patch removes it. As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies. (This patch does not really remove wall_jiffies.

2006-09-29[PATCH] pidspace: is_init()Sukadev Bhattiprolu
This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch. (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280). It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init(). Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other patches for now. Eric's original description: There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init because we give it special properties. Most significantly init must not die. This results in code all over the kernel test ->pid == 1. Introduce is_init to capture this case. With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are looking for only the first process on the system, not some other process that has pid == 1. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Mechanical, hopefully non-functional changes stemming from setup_etheraddr always succeeding now that it always assigns a MAC, either from the command line or generated randomly: the test of the return of setup_etheraddr is removed, and code dependent on it succeeding is now unconditional setup_etheraddr can now be made void struct uml_net.have_mac is now always 1, so tests of it can be similarly removed, and uses of it can be replaced with 1 struct uml_net.have_mac is no longer used, so it can be removed struct uml_net_private.have_mac is copied from struct uml_net, so it is always 1 tests of uml_net_private.have_mac can be removed uml_net_private.have_mac can now be removed the only call to dev_ip_addr was removed, so it can be deleted It also turns out that setup_etheraddr is called only once, from the same file, so it can be static and its declaration removed from net_kern.h. Similarly, set_ether_mac is defined and called only from one file. Finally, setup_etheraddr and set_ether_mac were moved to avoid needing forward declarations.

2006-09-29[PATCH] uml: assign random MACs to interfaces if necessaryJeff Dike
Assign a random MAC to an ethernet interface if one was not provided on the command line. This became pressing when distros started bringing interfaces up before assigning IPs to them. The previous pattern of assigning an IP then bringing it up allowed the MAC to be generated from the first IP assigned. However, once the thing is up, it's probably a bad idea to change the MAC, so the MAC stayed initialized to fe:fd:0:0:0:0. Now, if there is no MAC from the command line, one is generated. We use the microseconds from gettimeofday (20 bits), plus the low 12 bits of the pid to seed the random number generator. random() is called twice, with 16 bits of each result used. I didn't want to have to try to fill in 32 bits optimally given an arbitrary RAND_MAX, so I just assume that it is greater than 65536 and use 16 bits of each random() return. There is also a bit of reformatting and whitespace cleanup here.

2006-09-27[PATCH] uml: thread creation tidyingJeff Dike
fork on UML has always somewhat subtle. The underlying cause has been the need to initialize a stack for the new process. The only portable way to initialize a new stack is to set it as the alternate signal stack and take a signal. The signal handler does whatever initialization is needed and jumps back to the original stack, where the fork processing is finished. The basic context switching mechanism is a jmp_buf for each process. You switch to a new process by longjmping to its jmp_buf. Now that UML has its own implementation of setjmp and longjmp, and I can poke around inside a jmp_buf without fear that libc will change the structure, a much simpler mechanism is possible. The jmpbuf can simply be initialized by hand. This eliminates - the need to set up and remove the alternate signal stack sending and handling a signal the signal blocking needed around the stack switching, since there is no stack switching setting up the jmp_buf needed to jump back to the original stack after the new one is set up In addition, since jmp_buf is now defined by UML, and not by libc, it can be embedded in the thread struct. This makes it unnecessary to have it exist on the stack, where it used to be. It also simplifies interfaces, since the switch jmp_buf used to be a void * inside the thread struct, and functions which took it as an argument needed to define a jmp_buf variable and assign it from the void *.

This patch switches UML/x86_64 to using user_regs_struct for its definitions of the host's registers.

2006-09-27[PATCH] uml: get rid of ZONE_DMA useJeff Dike
ZONE_DMA might become dependent on CONFIG_ZONE_DMA, which UML doesn't define (we're still arguing about this) So, let's change ZONE_DMA to ZONE_NORMAL. This is prompted by optional-zone_dma-in-the-vm.patch, but should be harmless on its own.

2006-09-27[PATCH] uml: fix proc-vs-interrupt context spinlock deadlockPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
This spinlock can be taken on interrupt too, so spin_lock_irq[save] must be used. However, Documentation/networking/netdevices.txt explains we are called with rtnl_lock() held - so we don't need to care about other concurrent opens. Verified also in LDD3 and by direct checking. Also verified that the network layer (through a state machine) guarantees us that nobody will close the interface while it's being used. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Also, we must check we don't sleep with irqs disabled!!! But anyway, this is not news - we already can't sleep while holding a spinlock. Who says this is guaranted really by the present code?

2006-09-26[PATCH] uml: stack usage reductionJeff Dike
The KSTK_* macros used an inordinate amount of stack. In order to overcome an impedance mismatch between their interface, which just returns a single register value, and the interface of get_thread_regs, which took a full pt_regs, the implementation created an on-stack pt_regs, filled it in, and returned one field. do_task_stat calls KSTK_* twice, resulting in two local pt_regs, blowing out the stack. This patch changes the interface (and name) of get_thread_regs to just return a single register from a jmp_buf. The include of archsetjmp.h" in registers.h to get the definition of jmp_buf exposed a bogus include of <setjmp.h> in start_up.c. <setjmp.h> shouldn't be used anywhere any more since UML uses the klibc setjmp/longjmp.

2006-09-26[PATCH] uml: timer cleanupsJeff Dike
set_interval returns an error instead of panicing if setitimer fails. Some of its callers now check the return. enable_timer is largely tt-mode-specific, so it is marked as such, and the only skas-mode caller is made to call set-interval instead. user_time_init was a no-value-added wrapper around set_interval, so it is gone. Since set_interval is now called from kernel code, callers no longer pass ITIMER_* to it. Instead, they pass a flag which is converted into ITIMER_REAL or ITIMER_VIRTUAL.

2006-09-26[PATCH] uml: Move signal handlers to arch codeJeff Dike
Have most signals go through an arch-provided handler which recovers the sigcontext and then calls a generic handler. This replaces the ARCH_GET_SIGCONTEXT macro, which was somewhat fragile. On x86_64, recovering %rdx (which holds the sigcontext pointer) must be the first thing that happens. sig_handler duly invokes that first, but there is no guarantee that I can see that instructions won't be reordered such that %rdx is used before that. Having the arch provide the handler seems much more robust. Some signals in some parts of UML require their own handlers - these places don't call set_handler any more. They call sigaction or signal themselves. Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
