[PATCH] uml: correct removal of pte_mkexec

2006-10-11T18:14:20Z

Correct commit 5906e4171ad61ce68de95e51b773146707671f80 - this makes more sense: we turn pte_mkexec + pte_wrprotect to pte_mkread. However, due to a bug in pte_mkread, it does the exact same thing as pte_mkwrite, so this patch improves the code but does not change anything in practice. The pte_mkread bug is fixed separately, as it may have big impact. Signed-off-by: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso Cc: Jeff Dike Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] uml: remove pte_mkexec

2006-09-29T16:18:04Z

Andi is making pte_mkexec go away, and UML had one of the last uses. This removes the use and the definition. Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike Cc: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso Cc: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] uml: remove unneeded file

2006-09-29T16:18:04Z

Remove arch/um/kernel/skas/process_kern.c again. The stack alignment change which resulted in this file being here is safely in arch/um/kernel/process.c. Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] uml: file renaming

Move some foo_kern.c files to foo.c now that the old foo.c files are out of the way. Also cleaned up some whitespace and an emacs formatting comment. Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] uml: thread creation tidying

2006-09-27T15:26:16Z

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] Standardize pxx_page macros

2006-09-26T15:48:51Z

One of the changes necessary for shared page tables is to standardize the pxx_page macros. pte_page and pmd_page have always returned the struct page associated with their entry, while pte_page_kernel and pmd_page_kernel have returned the kernel virtual address. pud_page and pgd_page, on the other hand, return the kernel virtual address. Shared page tables needs pud_page and pgd_page to return the actual page structures. There are very few actual users of these functions, so it is simple to standardize their usage. Since this is basic cleanup, I am submitting these changes as a standalone patch. Per Hugh Dickins' comments about it, I am also changing the pxx_page_kernel macros to pxx_page_vaddr to clarify their meaning.

[PATCH] uml: signal initialization cleanup

2006-07-10T20:24:23Z

It turns out that init_new_thread_signals is always called with altstack == 1, so we can eliminate the parameter. Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike Cc: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] uml: fix static binary segfault

2006-07-10T20:24:23Z

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.
