uml: runtime host VMSPLIT detection

2008-02-08T17:22:42+00:00

Calculate TASK_SIZE at run-time by figuring out the host's VMSPLIT - this is
needed on i386 if UML is to run on hosts with varying VMSPLITs without
recompilation.

TASK_SIZE is now defined in terms of a variable, task_size.  This gets rid of
an include of pgtable.h from processor.h, which can cause include loops.

On i386, task_size is calculated early in boot by probing the address space in
a binary search to figure out where the boundary between usable and non-usable
memory is.  This tries to make sure that a page that is considered to be in
userspace is, or can be made, read-write.  I'm concerned about a system-global
VDSO page in kernel memory being hit and considered to be a userspace page.

On x86_64, task_size is just the old value of CONFIG_TOP_ADDR.

A bunch of config variable are gone now.  CONFIG_TOP_ADDR is directly replaced
by TASK_SIZE.  NEST_LEVEL is gone since the relocation of the stubs makes it
irrelevant.  All the HOST_VMSPLIT stuff is gone.  All references to these in
arch/um/Makefile are also gone.

I noticed and fixed a missing extern in os.h when adding os_get_task_size.

Note: This has been revised to fix the 32-bit UML on 64-bit host bug that
Miklos ran into.

uml: defconfig tweaks

2008-02-05T17:44:32+00:00

Tweak the UML defconfig -
      we probably don't need 256 old-style ptys - this slows down udev
noticably
      enable hostfs
      disable slab debugging - another noticable performance hit

uml: fix stub address calculations

2007-10-16T16:43:09+00:00

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.

uml: tickless support

2007-10-16T16:43:08+00:00

Enable tickless support.

CONFIG_TICK_ONESHOT and CONFIG_NO_HZ are enabled.

itimer_clockevent gets CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_ONESHOT and an implementation of
.set_next_event.

CONFIG_UML_REAL_TIME_CLOCK goes away because it only makes sense when there is
a clock ticking away all the time.  timer_handler now just calls do_IRQ once
without trying to figure out how many ticks to emulate.

The idle loop now needs to turn ticking on and off.

Userspace ticks keep happening as usual.  However, the userspace loop keep
track of when the next wakeup should happen and suppresses process ticks until
that happens.

uml: GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS support

2007-10-16T16:43:08+00:00

Enable CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS.

timer_irq gets its name changed to timer_handler, and becomes the recipient of
timer signals.

The clock_event_device is set up to imitate the current ticking clock, i.e.
CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_ONESHOT is not enabled yet.

disable_timer now doesn't ignore SIGALRM and SIGVTALRM because that breaks
delay calibration.

uml: sysrq and mconsole fixes

2007-10-16T16:43:07+00:00

Fix the passing of printk output back to the mconsole client.  The existing
code was somewhat confused, accumulating output in a buffer, but writing it
out entirely whenever a new chunk was added.  This is fixed.

The earlier include cleanups caused linux/sysrq.h to not be included - this is
fixed by adding the include back, under CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ.

CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ is also defaulted to on in defconfig.

uml: throw out CONFIG_MODE_TT

2007-10-16T16:43:05+00:00

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.

i386: Allow KVM on i386 nonpae

2007-07-19T21:37:05+00:00

Currently, CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64 both enables boot-time checking of
the cmpxchg64b feature and enables compilation of the set_64bit() family.
Since the option is dependent on PAE, and since KVM depends on set_64bit(),
this effectively disables KVM on i386 nopae.

Simplify by removing the config option altogether: the boot check is made
dependent on CONFIG_X86_PAE directly, and the set_64bit() family is exposed
without constraints.  It is up to users to check for the feature flag (KVM
does not as virtualiation extensions imply its existence).

uml: handle errors on opening host side of consoles

2007-07-16T16:05:38+00:00

If the host side of a console can't be opened, this will now produce visible
error messages.

enable_chan now returns a status and this is passed up to con_open and
ssl_open, which will complain if anything went wrong.

The default host device for the serial line driver is now a pts device rather
than a pty device since lots of hosts have LEGACY_PTYS disabled.  This had
always been failing on such hosts, but silently.
