.fault now can retry. The retry can break state machine of .fault. In filemap_fault, if page is miss, ra->mmap_miss is increased. In the second try, since the page is in page cache now, ra->mmap_miss is decreased. And these are done in one fault, so we can't detect random mmap file access. Add a new flag to indicate .fault is tried once. In the second try, skip ra->mmap_miss decreasing. The filemap_fault state machine is ok with it. I only tested x86, didn't test other archs, but looks the change for other archs is obvious, but who knows :) Signed-off-by: NShaohua Li <shaohua.li@fusionio.com> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Commit d065bd81 ("mm: retry page fault when blocking on disk transfer") and commit 37b23e05 ("x86,mm: make pagefault killable") introduced changes into the x86 pagefault handler for making the page fault handler retryable as well as killable. These changes reduce the mmap_sem hold time, which is crucial during OOM killer invocation. Port these changes to um.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch. (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280). It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init(). Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other patches for now. Eric's original description: There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init because we give it special properties. Most significantly init must not die. This results in code all over the kernel test ->pid == 1. Introduce is_init to capture this case. With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are looking for only the first process on the system, not some other process that has pid == 1. Signed-off-by: NEric W.

The below warning was added in place of pte_mkyoung(); if (is_write) pte_mkdirty(); In fact, if the PTE is not marked young/dirty, our dirty/accessed bit emulation would cause the TLB permission not to be changed, and so we'd loop, and given we don't support preemption yet, we'd busy-hang here. However, I've seen this warning trigger without crashes during a loop of concurrent kernel builds, at random times (i.e. like a race condition), and I realized that two concurrent faults on the same page, one on read and one on write, can trigger it. The read fault gets serviced and the PTE gets marked writable but clean (it's possible on a shared-writable mapping), while the generic code sees the PTE was already installed and returns without action. In this case, we'll see another fault and service it normally.

Following i386, we should maybe refuse trying to fault in pages when we're doing atomic operations, because to handle the fault we could need to take already taken spinlocks. Also, if we're doing an atomic operation (in the sense of in_atomic()) we're surely in kernel mode and we're surely going to handle adequately the failed fault, so it's safe to behave this way. Currently, on UML SMP is rarely used, and we don't support PREEMPT, so this is unlikely to create problems right now, but it might in the future.

The current code doesn't handle well general protection faults on the host - it thinks that cr2 is always the address of a page fault. While actually, on general protection faults, that address is not accessible, so we'd better assume we couldn't satisfy the fault. Currently instead we think we've fixed it, so we go back, retry the instruction and fault again endlessly. This leads to the kernel hanging when doing copy_from_user(dest, -1, ...) in TT mode, since reading *(-1) causes a GFP, and we don't support kernel preemption. Thanks to Luo Xin for testing UML with LTP and reporting the failures he got.

The PTE returned from handle_mm_fault is already marked as dirty and accessed if needed. Also, since this is not set with set_pte() (which sets NEWPAGE and NEWPROT as needed), this wouldn't work anyway. This version has been updated and fixed, thanks to some feedback from Jeff Dike.

The UML fault handler was recently changed to enforce PROT_NONE protections, by requiring VM_READ or VM_EXEC on VMA's. However, by mistake, things were changed such that VM_READ is always checked, also on write faults; so a VMA mapped with only PROT_WRITE is not readable (unless it's prefaulted with MAP_POPULATE or with a write), which is different from i386. Discovered while testing remap_file_pages protection support. Signed-off-by: NPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
