[PATCH] uml: x86_64 fixes

2005-05-07T05:09:31+00:00

This fixes some x86_64 bugs -

- maybe_map returns -1 on error instead of 0, which is interpreted as
  physical address 0

- removed an include of ipc.h, which isn't needed

- fixed the calculation of signal frame location

- the signal delivery code is now immune to the stack expansion check

- added a missing include

[PATCH] uml: Fix process exit race

2005-05-07T05:09:30+00:00

tt-mode closes switch_pipes in exit_thread_tt and kills processes in
switch_to_tt, if the exit_state is EXIT_DEAD or EXIT_ZOMBIE.

In very rare cases the exiting process can be scheduled out after having set
exit_state and closed switch_pipes (from release_task it calls proc_pid_flush,
which might sleep).  If this process is to be restarted, UML failes in
switch_to_tt with:

   write of switch_pipe failed, err = 9

We fix this by closing switch_pipes not in exit_thread_tt, but later in
release_thread_tt.  Additionally, we set switch_pipe[0] = 0 after closing.
switch_to_tt must not kill "from" process depending on its exit_state, but
must kill it after release_thread was processed only, so it examines
switch_pipe[0] for its decision.

[PATCH] uml: S390 preparation, arch_align_stack

2005-05-07T05:09:30+00:00

Only x86 and x86_64 use arch_align_stack(), all other subarches have:

 #define arch_align_stack(x) (x)

So, if this definition is found, UML's own arch_align_stack() should be
skipped.

[PATCH] uml: Use CONFIG variable for address space size

2005-05-07T05:09:30+00:00

tt/mem.c still uses hardcoded TOP for i386 instead of CONFIG_TOP_ADDR provided
by subarch's Kconfig_XXXX, which would be right.

[PATCH] uml: Turn literal numbers into symbolic constants

2005-05-07T05:09:30+00:00

So, there I was, looking at my own code, wondering what the magic setjmp
return values did.  This patch turns the constants that are used to make
requests of the initial thread into meaningful symbols.

[PATCH] uml: Makefile cleanup

2005-05-07T05:09:30+00:00

This eliminates some stuff from arch/um/kernel/Makefile which refers to a
file which has long since been deleted.

[PATCH] uml: Eliminate unusable function

2005-05-07T05:09:29+00:00

Eliminate the non-inline version of switch_mm, which can't be used,
considering the inline version in asm/mmu_context.h

[PATCH] uml: S390 preparation, save an extra register

2005-05-07T05:09:29+00:00

s390 tt-mode needs to save not only syscall number, but an further register
also.

[PATCH] uml: S390 preparation, peekusr/pokeusr defined by subarch

2005-05-07T05:09:29+00:00

s390 needs to change some parts of arch/um/kernel/ptrace.c.  Thus, the code
regarding PEEKUSER and POKEUSER are shifted to arch/um/sys-/ptrace.c.

Also s390 debug registers need to be updated, when singlestepping is switched
on / off.  Thus, setting/resetting of singlestepping is centralized in the new
function set_singlestep(), which also inserts the macro
SUBARCH_SET_SINGLESTEP(mode), if defined.

Finally, s390 has the "ieee_instruction_pointer" in its
registers, which also is allowed to be read via

  ptrace( PTRACE_PEEKUSER, getpid(), PT_IEEE_IP, 0);

To implement this feature, sys_ptrace inserts the macro
SUBARCH_PTRACE_SPECIAL, if defined.
