x86/um: Drop gate area handling

2025-11-06T12:02:33+00:00

With the removal of the vDSO passthrough from the host,
FIXADDR_USER_START is always 0 and the gate area setup code is dead.

Remove it.

x86/um: Do not inherit vDSO from host

2025-11-06T12:02:33+00:00

Inheriting the vDSO from the host is problematic. The values read
from the time functions will not be correct for the UML kernel.
Furthermore the start and end of the vDSO are not stable or
detectable by userspace. Specifically the vDSO datapages start
before AT_SYSINFO_EHDR and the vDSO itself is larger than a single page.

This codepath is only used on 32bit x86 UML. In my testing with both
32bit and 64bit hosts the passthrough functionality has always been
disabled anyways due to the checks against envp in scan_elf_aux().

um: switch to regset API and depend on XSTATE

2024-10-23T10:13:16+00:00

The PTRACE_GETREGSET API has now existed since Linux 2.6.33. The XSAVE
CPU feature should also be sufficiently common to be able to rely on it.

With this, define our internal FP state to be the hosts XSAVE data. Add
discovery for the hosts XSAVE size and place the FP registers at the end
of task_struct so that we can adjust the size at runtime.

Next we can implement the regset API on top and update the signal
handling as well as ptrace APIs to use them. Also switch coredump
creation to use the regset API and finally set HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK.

This considerably improves the signal frames. Previously they might not
have contained all the registers (i386) and also did not have the
sizes and magic values set to the correct values to permit userspace to
decode the frame.

As a side effect, this will permit UML to run on hosts with newer CPU
extensions (such as AMX) that need even more register state.

um: Enable preemption in UML

2024-07-03T15:10:43+00:00

Since userspace state is saved in the MM process, kernel using
FPU still doesn't really need to do anything, so this really
is as simple as enabling preemption. The irq critical section
in sigio_handler() needs preempt_disable()/preempt_enable().

um: remove LDT support

2024-07-03T15:09:49+00:00

The current LDT code has a few issues that mean it should be redone in a
different way once we always start with a fresh MM even when cloning.

In a new and better world, the kernel would just ensure its own LDT is
clear at startup. At that point, all that is needed is a simple function
to populate the LDT from another MM in arch_dup_mmap combined with some
tracking of the installed LDT entries for each MM.

Note that the old implementation was even incorrect with regard to
reading, as it copied out the LDT entries in the internal format rather
than converting them to the userspace structure.

Removal should be fine as the LDT is not used for thread-local storage
anymore.

um: Rework syscall handling

2024-07-03T15:09:49+00:00

Rework syscall handling to be platform independent. Also create a clean
split between queueing of syscalls and flushing them out, removing the
need to keep state in the code that triggers the syscalls.

The code adds syscall_data_len to the global mm_id structure. This will
be used later to allow surrounding code to track whether syscalls still
need to run and if errors occurred.

um: Hard-code the result of 'uname -s'

2023-08-26T20:40:37+00:00

We rely on 'uname -s' returning 'Linux' because there are os-Linux/
directories, but no other os-*/.

Supporting a non-Linux host is unlikely to happen.

Let's hard-code 'Linux'.

um: Use the x86 checksum implementation on 32-bit

2023-08-26T20:39:24+00:00

When UML is compiled under 32-bit x86, it uses its own copy of
checksum_32.S, which is terribly out-of-date and doesn't support
checksumming unaligned data.

This causes the new "checksum" KUnit test to fail:
./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kconfig_add CONFIG_64BIT=n --cross_compile i686-linux-gnu- checksum
    KTAP version 1
    # Subtest: checksum
    1..3
    # test_csum_fixed_random_inputs: ASSERTION FAILED at lib/checksum_kunit.c:243
    Expected result == expec, but
        result == 33316 (0x8224)
        expec == 33488 (0x82d0)
    not ok 1 test_csum_fixed_random_inputs
    # test_csum_all_carry_inputs: ASSERTION FAILED at lib/checksum_kunit.c:267
    Expected result == expec, but
        result == 65280 (0xff00)
        expec == 0 (0x0)
    not ok 2 test_csum_all_carry_inputs
    # test_csum_no_carry_inputs: ASSERTION FAILED at lib/checksum_kunit.c:306
    Expected result == expec, but
        result == 65531 (0xfffb)
        expec == 0 (0x0)
    not ok 3 test_csum_no_carry_inputs

Sharing the normal implementation in arch/x86/lib both fixes all of
these issues and means any further fixes only need to be done once.

x86_64 already seems to share the same implementation between UML and
"normal" x86.

kbuild: remove --include-dir MAKEFLAG from top Makefile

2023-02-05T09:51:22+00:00

I added $(srctree)/ to some included Makefiles in the following commits:

 - 3204a7fb98a3 ("kbuild: prefix $(srctree)/ to some included Makefiles")
 - d82856395505 ("kbuild: do not require sub-make for separate output tree builds")

They were a preparation for removing --include-dir flag.

I have never thought --include-dir useful. Rather, it _is_ harmful.

For example, run the following commands:

  $ make -s ARCH=x86 mrproper defconfig
  $ make ARCH=arm O=foo dtbs
  make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/linux/foo'
    HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
  Error: kernelrelease not valid - run 'make prepare' to update it
    UPD     include/config/kernel.release
  make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/linux/foo'

The first command configures the source tree for x86. The next command
tries to build ARM device trees in the separate foo/ directory - this
must stop because the directory foo/ has not been configured yet.

However, due to --include-dir=$(abs_srctree), the top Makefile includes
the wrong include/config/auto.conf from the source tree and continues
building. Kbuild traverses the directory tree, but of course it does
not work correctly. The Error message is also pointless - 'make prepare'
does not help at all for fixing the issue.

This commit fixes more arch Makefile, and finally removes --include-dir
from the top Makefile.

There are more breakages under drivers/, but I do not volunteer to fix
them all. I just moved --include-dir to drivers/Makefile.

With this commit, the second command will stop with a sensible message.

  $ make -s ARCH=x86 mrproper defconfig
  $ make ARCH=arm O=foo dtbs
  make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/linux/foo'
    SYNC    include/config/auto.conf.cmd
  ***
  *** The source tree is not clean, please run 'make ARCH=arm mrproper'
  *** in /tmp/linux
