um: Preinclude include/linux/kern_levels.h

2012-09-27T18:20:09+00:00

The userspace part of UML uses the asm-offsets.h generator mechanism to
create definitions for UM_KERN_ that match the in-kernel
KERN_ constant definitions.

As of commit 04d2c8c83d0e3ac5f78aeede51babb3236200112 ("printk: convert
the format for KERN_ to a 2 byte pattern"), KERN_ is no
longer expanded to the literal '""', but to '"\001" "LEVEL"', i.e.
it contains two parts.

However, the combo of DEFINE_STR() in
arch/x86/um/shared/sysdep/kernel-offsets.h and sed-y in Kbuild doesn't
support string literals consisting of multiple parts. Hence for all
UM_KERN_ definitions, only the SOH character is retained in the actual
definition, while the remainder ends up in the comment. E.g. in
include/generated/asm-offsets.h we get

    #define UM_KERN_INFO "\001" /* "6" KERN_INFO */

instead of

    #define UM_KERN_INFO "\001" "6" /* KERN_INFO */

This causes spurious '^A' output in some kernel messages:

    Calibrating delay loop... 4640.76 BogoMIPS (lpj=23203840)
    pid_max: default: 32768 minimum: 301
    Mount-cache hash table entries: 256
    ^AChecking that host ptys support output SIGIO...Yes
    ^AChecking that host ptys support SIGIO on close...No, enabling workaround
    ^AUsing 2.6 host AIO
    NET: Registered protocol family 16
    bio: create slab  at 0
    Switching to clocksource itimer

To fix this:
  - Move the mapping from UM_KERN_ to KERN_ from
    arch/um/include/shared/common-offsets.h to
    arch/um/include/shared/user.h, which is preincluded for all userspace
    parts,
  - Preinclude include/linux/kern_levels.h for all userspace parts, to
    obtain the in-kernel KERN_ constant definitions. This doesn't
    violate the kernel/userspace separation, as include/linux/kern_levels.h
    is self-contained and doesn't expose any other kernel internals.
  - Remove the now unused STR() and DEFINE_STR() macros.

um: Fix IPC on um

2012-09-27T18:12:35+00:00

commit c1d7e01d (ipc: use Kconfig options for __ARCH_WANT_[COMPAT_]IPC_PARSE_VERSION)
forgot UML and broke IPC on it.
Also UML has to select ARCH_WANT_IPC_PARSE_VERSION usin Kconfig.

um: kill thread->forking

2012-09-27T16:04:55+00:00

we only use that to tell copy_thread() done by syscall from that
done by kernel_thread().  However, it's easier to do simply by
checking PF_KTHREAD in thread flags.

Merge sys_clone() guts for 32bit and 64bit, while we are at it...

x86, um: Correct syscall table type attributes breaking gcc 4.8

2012-06-09T19:51:09+00:00

The latest GCC 4.8 does some more checking on type attributes that
break the build for ARCH=um -> fill them in.  Specifically, the
"asmlinkage" attributes is now tested for consistency.

most of set_current_blocked() callers want SIGKILL/SIGSTOP removed from set

2012-06-01T16:58:51+00:00

Only 3 out of 63 do not.  Renamed the current variant to __set_current_blocked(),
added set_current_blocked() that will exclude unblockable signals, switched
open-coded instances to it.

Merge branch 'x86-extable-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull exception table generation updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest change here is to allow the build-time sorting of the
  exception table, to speed up booting.  This is achieved by the
  architecture enabling BUILDTIME_EXTABLE_SORT.  This option is enabled
  for x86 and MIPS currently.

  On x86 a number of fixes and changes were needed to allow build-time
  sorting of the exception table, in particular a relocation invariant
  exception table format was needed.  This required the abstracting out
  of exception table protocol and the removal of 20 years of accumulated
  assumptions about the x86 exception table format.

  While at it, this tree also cleans up various other aspects of
  exception handling, such as early(er) exception handling for
  rdmsr_safe() et al.

  All in one, as the result of these changes the x86 exception code is
  now pretty nice and modern.  As an added bonus any regressions in this
  code will be early and violent crashes, so if you see any of those,
  you'll know whom to blame!"

Fix up trivial conflicts in arch/{mips,x86}/Kconfig files due to nearby
modifications of other core architecture options.
