um: Cleanup SIGTERM handling

2013-09-07T08:56:58+00:00

Richard reported that some UML processes survive if the UML
main process receives a SIGTERM.
This issue was caused by a wrongly placed signal(SIGTERM, SIG_DFL)
in init_new_thread_signals().
It disabled the UML exit handler accidently for some processes.
The correct solution is to disable the fatal handler for all
UML helper threads/processes.
Such that last_ditch_exit() does not get called multiple times
and all processes can exit due to SIGTERM.

uml: tidy kern_util.h

2008-02-05T17:44:26+00:00

Tidy kern_util.h.  It turns out that most of the function declarations
aren't used, so they can go away.  os.h no longer includes
kern_util.h, so files which got it through os.h now need to include it
directly.  A number of other files never needed it, so these includes
are deleted.

The structure which was used to pass signal handlers from the kernel
side to the userspace side is gone.  Instead, the handlers are
declared here, and used directly from libc code.  This allows
arch/um/os-Linux/trap.c to be deleted, with its remnants being moved
to arch/um/os-Linux/skas/trap.c.

arch/um/os-Linux/tty.c had its inclusions changed, and it needed some
style attention, so it got tidied.

uml: stop gdb from deleting breakpoints when running UML

2007-12-18T03:28:15+00:00

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.

uml: DEBUG_SHIRQ fixes

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

DEBUG_SHIRQ generates spurious interrupts, triggering handlers such as
mconsole_interrupt() or line_interrupt().  They expect data to be available to
be read from their sockets/pipes, but in the case of spurious interrupts, the
host didn't actually send anything, so UML hangs in read() and friends.
Setting those fd's as O_NONBLOCK makes DEBUG_SHIRQ-enabled UML kernels boot
and run correctly.

uml: driver formatting fixes

2007-05-07T19:13:00+00:00

Fix a bunch of formatting violations in the drivers:
	return(n) -> return n
	whitespace fixes
	emacs formatting comment removal
	breaking if(foo) return(n) into two lines

There are also a couple of errno use bugs:
	using errno in a printk when the failure put errno into a local variable
	saving errno after a printk, which can change it

[PATCH] uml: revert block driver use of host AIO

2005-10-12T15:22:26+00:00

The patch to use host AIO support that I submitted early after 2.6.13 exposed
some problems in the block driver.  I have fixes for these, but am not
comfortable putting them into 2.6.14 at this late date.  So, this patch reverts
the use of host AIO.

I will resubmit the original patch, plus fixes to the driver after 2.6.14
in order to get a reasonable amount of testing before they're exposed to
the general public.
