ptrace: cleanup arch_ptrace() on frv

2010-10-28T01:03:10+00:00

Use new 'regno', 'datap' variables in order to remove duplicated
expressions and unnecessary castings. Alse remove checking @addr
less than 0 because addr is now unsigned.

ptrace: change signature of arch_ptrace()

2010-10-28T01:03:10+00:00

Fix up the arguments to arch_ptrace() to take account of the fact that
@addr and @data are now unsigned long rather than long as of a preceding
patch in this series.

ptrace: unify FDPIC implementations

2010-05-27T16:12:44+00:00

The Blackfin/FRV/SuperH guys all have the same exact FDPIC ptrace code in
their arch handlers (since they were probably copied & pasted).  Since
these ptrace interfaces are an arch independent aspect of the FDPIC code,
unify them in the common ptrace code so new FDPIC ports don't need to copy
and paste this fundamental stuff yet again.

NOMMU: Make VMAs per MM as for MMU-mode linux

2009-01-08T12:04:47+00:00

Make VMAs per mm_struct as for MMU-mode linux.  This solves two problems:

 (1) In SYSV SHM where nattch for a segment does not reflect the number of
     shmat's (and forks) done.

 (2) In mmap() where the VMA's vm_mm is set to point to the parent mm by an
     exec'ing process when VM_EXECUTABLE is specified, regardless of the fact
     that a VMA might be shared and already have its vm_mm assigned to another
     process or a dead process.

A new struct (vm_region) is introduced to track a mapped region and to remember
the circumstances under which it may be shared and the vm_list_struct structure
is discarded as it's no longer required.

This patch makes the following additional changes:

 (1) Regions are now allocated with alloc_pages() rather than kmalloc() and
     with no recourse to __GFP_COMP, so the pages are not composite.  Instead,
     each page has a reference on it held by the region.  Anything else that is
     interested in such a page will have to get a reference on it to retain it.
     When the pages are released due to unmapping, each page is passed to
     put_page() and will be freed when the page usage count reaches zero.

 (2) Excess pages are trimmed after an allocation as the allocation must be
     made as a power-of-2 quantity of pages.

 (3) VMAs are added to the parent MM's R/B tree and mmap lists.  As an MM may
     end up with overlapping VMAs within the tree, the VMA struct address is
     appended to the sort key.

 (4) Non-anonymous VMAs are now added to the backing inode's prio list.

 (5) Holes may be punched in anonymous VMAs with munmap(), releasing parts of
     the backing region.  The VMA and region structs will be split if
     necessary.

 (6) sys_shmdt() only releases one attachment to a SYSV IPC shared memory
     segment instead of all the attachments at that addresss.  Multiple
     shmat()'s return the same address under NOMMU-mode instead of different
     virtual addresses as under MMU-mode.

 (7) Core dumping for ELF-FDPIC requires fewer exceptions for NOMMU-mode.

 (8) /proc/maps is now the global list of mapped regions, and may list bits
     that aren't actually mapped anywhere.

 (9) /proc/meminfo gains a line (tagged "MmapCopy") that indicates the amount
     of RAM currently allocated by mmap to hold mappable regions that can't be
     mapped directly.  These are copies of the backing device or file if not
     anonymous.

These changes make NOMMU mode more similar to MMU mode.  The downside is that
NOMMU mode requires some extra memory to track things over NOMMU without this
patch (VMAs are no longer shared, and there are now region structs).

PTRACE_POKEDATA consolidation

2007-07-17T17:23:03+00:00

AFAICS, fix bug on xtensa where successful PTRACE_POKEDATA will nevertheless
