[PATCH] uml: remove some leftover PPC code

2006-10-20T17:26:36+00:00

I happened to notice that this code is a leftover and it should be removed -
since there are sporadical efforts to revive the PPC port doing such cleanups
is not useless.

[PATCH] rename the provided execve functions to kernel_execve

2006-10-02T14:57:23+00:00

Some architectures provide an execve function that does not set errno, but
instead returns the result code directly.  Rename these to kernel_execve to
get the right semantics there.  Moreover, there is no reasone for any of these
architectures to still provide __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ or _syscallN macros, so
remove these right away.

[PATCH] uml: remove pte_mkexec

2006-09-29T16:18:04+00:00

Andi is making pte_mkexec go away, and UML had one of the last uses.

This removes the use and the definition.

[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 missing x86_64 register definitions

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

The UML/x86_64 headers were missing ptrace support for some segment registers.
 The underlying problem was that the x86_64 kernel uses user_regs_struct
rather than the ptrace register definitions in ptrace.  This patch switches
UML/x86_64 to using user_regs_struct for its definitions of the host's
registers.

[PATCH] Make UML use ptrace-abi.h

2006-09-26T15:49:10+00:00

Include the host architecture's ptrace-abi.h instead of ptrace.h.

There was some cpp mangling of names around the ptrace.h include to avoid
symbol clashes between UML and the host architecture.  Most of these can go
away.  The exception is struct pt_regs, which is convenient to have in
userspace, but must be renamed in order that UML can define its own.

ptrace-x86_64.h needed to have some now-obsolete cpp cruft and a declaration
removed.

[PATCH] uml: stack usage reduction

2006-09-26T15:49:09+00:00

The KSTK_* macros used an inordinate amount of stack.  In order to overcome
an impedance mismatch between their interface, which just returns a single
register value, and the interface of get_thread_regs, which took a full
pt_regs, the implementation created an on-stack pt_regs, filled it in, and
returned one field.  do_task_stat calls KSTK_* twice, resulting in two
local pt_regs, blowing out the stack.

This patch changes the interface (and name) of get_thread_regs to just
return a single register from a jmp_buf.

The include of archsetjmp.h" in registers.h to get the definition of
jmp_buf exposed a bogus include of  in start_up.c.  
shouldn't be used anywhere any more since UML uses the klibc
setjmp/longjmp.
