uml: speed page fault path

2007-05-07T19:13:04+00:00

Give the page fault code a specialized path.  There is only one page to look
at, so there's no point in going into the general page table walking code.
There's only going to be one host operation, so there are no opportunities for
merging.  So, we go straight to the pte we want, figure out what needs doing,
and do it.

While I was in here, I fixed the wart where the address passed to unmap was a
void *, but an unsigned long to map and protect.

This gives me just under 10% on a kernel build.

[PATCH] uml: thread creation tidying

2006-09-27T15:26:16+00:00

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 *.

[PATCH] uml: fix static binary segfault

2006-07-10T20:24:23+00:00

When UML is built as a static binary, it segfaults when run.  The reason is
that a memory hole that is present in dynamic binaries isn't there in static
binaries, and it contains essential stuff.

This fix removes the code which maps some anonymous memory into that hole and
cleans up some related code.

[PATCH] uml: clean up address space limits code

2006-07-10T20:24:23+00:00

I was looking at the code of the UML and more precisely at the functions
set_task_sizes_tt and set_task_sizes_skas.  I noticed that these 2 functions
take a paramater (arg) which is not used : the function is always called with
the value 0.

I suppose that this value might change in the future (or even can be
configured), so I added a constant in mem_user.h file.

Also, I rounded CONFIG_HOST_TASk_SIZE to a 4M.
