      mm: invoke oom-killer from page fault · 1c0fe6e3
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Rather than have the pagefault handler kill a process directly if it gets
      a VM_FAULT_OOM, have it call into the OOM killer.
      
      With increasingly sophisticated oom behaviour (cpusets, memory cgroups,
      oom killing throttling, oom priority adjustment or selective disabling,
      panic on oom, etc), it's silly to unconditionally kill the faulting
      process at page fault time.  Create a hook for pagefault oom path to call
      into instead.
      
      Only converted x86 and uml so far.

      uml: kill processes instead of panicing kernel · 3e6f2ac4
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      UML was panicing in the case of failures of libc calls which shouldn't happen.
       This is an overreaction since a failure from libc doesn't normally mean that
      kernel data structures are in an unknown state.  Instead, the current process
      should just be killed if there is no way to recover.
      
      The case that prompted this was a failure of PTRACE_SETREGS restoring the same
      state that was read by PTRACE_GETREGS.  It appears that when a process tries
      to load a bogus value into a segment register, it segfaults (as expected) and
      the value is actually loaded and is seen by PTRACE_GETREGS (not expected).
      
      This case is fixed by forcing a fatal SIGSEGV on the process so that it
      immediately dies.  fatal_sigsegv was added for this purpose.  It was declared
      as noreturn, so in order to pursuade gcc that it actually does not return, I
      added a call to os_dump_core (and declared it noreturn) so that I get a core
      file if somehow the process survives.
      
      All other calls in arch/um/os-Linux/skas/process.c got the same treatment,
      with failures causing the process to die instead of a kernel panic, with some
      exceptions.
      
      userspace_tramp exits with status 1 if anything goes wrong there.  That will
      cause start_userspace to return an error.  copy_context_skas0 and
      map_stub_pages also now return errors instead of panicing.  Callers of thes
      functions were changed to check for errors and do something appropriate.
      Usually that's to return an error to their callers.
      check_skas3_ptrace_faultinfo just exits since that's too early to do anything
      else.
      
      save_registers, restore_registers, and init_registers now return status
      instead of panicing on failure, with their callers doing something
      appropriate.
      
      There were also duplicate declarations of save_registers and restore_registers
      in os.h - these are gone.
      
      I noticed and fixed up some whitespace damage.

      uml: tidy kern_util.h · edea1385
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      Tidy kern_util.h.  It turns out that most of the function declarations
      aren't used, so they can go away.  os.h no longer includes
      kern_util.h, so files which got it through os.h now need to include it
      directly.  A number of other files never needed it, so these includes
      are deleted.
      
      The structure which was used to pass signal handlers from the kernel
      side to the userspace side is gone.  Instead, the handlers are
      declared here, and used directly from libc code.  This allows
      arch/um/os-Linux/trap.c to be deleted, with its remnants being moved
      to arch/um/os-Linux/skas/trap.c.
      
      arch/um/os-Linux/tty.c had its inclusions changed, and it needed some
      style attention, so it got tidied.

      uml: further bugs.c tidying · 9226b838
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      bugs.c, for both i386 and x86_64, can undergo further cleaning -
      	The i386 arch_check_bugs only does one thing, so we might as
      well inline the cmov checking.
      	The i386 includes can be trimmed down a bit.
      	arch_init_thread wasn't used, so it is deleted.
      	The panics in arch_handle_signal are turned into printks
      because the process is about to get segfaulted anyway, so something is
      dying no matter what happens here.  Also, the return value was always
      the same, so it contained no information, so it can be void instead.
      The name is changed to arch_examine_signal because it doesn't handle
      anything.
      	The caller of arch_handle_signal, relay_signal, does things in
      a different order.  The kernel-mode signal check is now first, which
      puts everything else together, making things a bit clearer conceptually.

      pid namespaces: define is_global_init() and is_container_init() · b460cbc5
      Serge E. Hallyn 提交于
      is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check.  Split it into
      is_global_init() and is_container_init().
      
      A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1.
      
      A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace
      is the init_pid_ns.  But rather than check the active pid namespace,
      compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is
      initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes.
      
      Changelog:
      
      	2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1:
      	- Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the
      	  global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance
      	  and remove dependence on the task_pid().
      
      	2.6.21-mm2-pidns2:
      
      	- [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc,
      	  ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init().
      	  This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a
      	  bug rather than force a kernel panic.

      do_longjmp used to be needed when UML didn't have its own implementation of
      setjmp and longjmp.  They came from libc, and couldn't be called directly from
      kernel code, as the libc jmp_buf couldn't be imported there.  do_longjmp was a
      userspace function which served to provide longjmp access to kernel code.

      uml: remove code made redundant by CHOOSE_MODE removal · 77bf4400
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      This patch makes a number of simplifications enabled by the removal of
      CHOOSE_MODE.  There were lots of functions that looked like
      
      	int foo(args){
      		foo_skas(args);
      	}
      
      The bodies of foo_skas are now folded into foo, and their declarations (and
      sometimes entire header files) are deleted.
      
      In addition, the union uml_pt_regs, which was a union between the tt and skas
      register formats, is now a struct, with the tt-mode arm of the union being
      removed.
      
      It turns out that usr2_handler was unused, so it is gone.

      uml: throw out CONFIG_MODE_TT · 42fda663
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      This patchset throws out tt mode, which has been non-functional for a while.
      
      This is done in phases, interspersed with code cleanups on the affected files.
      
      The removal is done as follows:
      	remove all code, config options, and files which depend on
      CONFIG_MODE_TT
      	get rid of the CHOOSE_MODE macro, which decided whether to
      call tt-mode or skas-mode code, and replace invocations with their
      skas portions
      	replace all now-trivial procedures with their skas equivalents
      
      There are now a bunch of now-redundant pieces of data structures, including
      mode-specific pieces of the thread structure, pt_regs, and mm_context.  These
      are all replaced with their skas-specific contents.
      
      As part of the ongoing style compliance project, I made a style pass over all
      files that were changed.  There are three such patches, one for each phase,
      covering the files affected by that phase but no later ones.
      
      I noticed that we weren't freeing the LDT state associated with a process when
      it exited, so that's fixed in one of the later patches.
      
      The last patch is a tidying patch which I've had for a while, but which caused
      inexplicable crashes under tt mode.  Since that is no longer a problem, this
      can now go in.
      
      This patch:
      
      Start getting rid of tt mode support.
      
      This patch throws out CONFIG_MODE_TT and all config options, code, and files
      which depend on it.
      
      CONFIG_MODE_SKAS is gone and everything that depends on it is included
      unconditionally.
      
      The few changed lines are in re-written Kconfig help, lines which needed
      something skas-related removed from them, and a few more which weren't
      strictly deletions.
