      [PATCH] getting rid of all casts of k[cmz]alloc() calls · 5cbded58
      Robert P. J. Day 提交于
      Run this:
      
      	#!/bin/sh
      	for f in $(grep -Erl "\([^\)]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do
      	  echo "De-casting $f..."
      	  perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?\([^\)]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f
      	done
      
      And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers
      to non-pointers.
      
      And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

      [PATCH] tty: switch to ktermios · 606d099c
      Alan Cox 提交于
      This is the grungy swap all the occurrences in the right places patch that
      goes with the updates.  At this point we have the same functionality as
      before (except that sgttyb() returns speeds not zero) and are ready to
      begin turning new stuff on providing nobody reports lots of bugs
      
      If you are a tty driver author converting an out of tree driver the only
      impact should be termios->ktermios name changes for the speed/property
      setting functions from your upper layers.
      
      If you are implementing your own TCGETS function before then your driver
      was broken already and its about to get a whole lot more painful for you so
      please fix it 8)
      
      Also fill in c_ispeed/ospeed on init for most devices, although the current
      code will do this for you anyway but I'd like eventually to lose that extra
      paranoia

      The BUG changes in -mm3 need some arch support.  This patch adds the UML
      support needed.  For the most part, it was stolen from the underlying
      architecture.  The exception is the kernel eip < PAGE_OFFSET test, which is
      wrong for skas mode UMLs.

      [PATCH] tty: ->signal->tty locking · 24ec839c
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Fix the locking of signal->tty.
      
      Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used
      by most other members of ->signal/->sighand.  And unless we are 'current'
      or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway.
      
      (NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules)
      
      Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding
      tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid.  Otherwise the lifetime of ttys
      are governed by their open file handles.  This leaves some holes for tty
      access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access).
      
      It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing.
      
      (NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to
             be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think
             it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info
             invocations)

      [PATCH] uml: make execvp safe for our usage · 5d48545e
      Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso 提交于
      Reimplement execvp for our purposes - after we call fork() it is fundamentally
      unsafe to use the kernel allocator - current is not valid there.  So we simply
      pass to our modified execvp() a preallocated buffer.  This fixes a real bug
      and works very well in testing (I've seen indirectly warning messages from the
      forked thread - they went on the pipe connected to its stdout and where read
      as a number by UML, when calling read_output().  I verified the obtained
      number corresponded to "BUG:").
      
      The added use of __cant_sleep() is not a new bug since __cant_sleep() is
      already used in the same function - passing an atomicity parameter would be
      better but it would require huge change, stating that this function must not
      be called in atomic context and can sleep is a better idea (will make sure of
      this gradually).

      [PATCH] uml: include tidying · 1f6f6164
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      In order to get the __NR_* constants, we need sys/syscall.h.
      linux/unistd.h works as well since it includes syscall.h, however syscall.h
      is more parsimonious.  We were inconsistent in this, and this patch adds
      syscall.h includes where necessary and removes linux/unistd.h includes
      where they are not needed.
      
      asm/unistd.h also includes the __NR_* constants, but these are not the
      glibc-sanctioned ones, so this also removes one such inclusion.

      [PATCH] uml: fix I/O hang · 53b17332
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      Fix a UML hang in which everything would just stop until some I/O happened
      - a ping, someone whacking the keyboard - at which point everything would
      start up again as though nothing had happened.
      
      The cause was gcc reordering some code which absolutely needed to be
      executed in the order in the source.  When unblock_signals switches signals
      from off to on, it needs to see if any interrupts had happened in the
      critical section.  The interrupt handlers check signals_enabled - if it is
      zero, then the handler adds a bit to the "pending" bitmask and returns.
      unblock_signals checks this mask to see if any signals need to be
      delivered.
      
      The crucial part is this:
      	signals_enabled = 1;
      	save_pending = pending;
      	if(save_pending == 0)
      		return;
      	pending = 0;
      
      In order to avoid an interrupt arriving between reading pending and setting
      it to zero, in which case, the record of the interrupt would be erased,
      signals are enabled.
      
      What happened was that gcc reordered this so that 'save_pending = pending'
      came before 'signals_enabled = 1', creating a one-instruction window within
      which an interrupt could arrive, set its bit in pending, and have it be
      immediately erased.
      
      When the I/O workload is purely disk-based, the loss of a block device
      interrupt stops the entire I/O system because the next block request will
      wait for the current one to finish.  Thus the system hangs until something
      else causes some I/O to arrive, such as a network packet or console input.
      
      The fix to this particular problem is a memory barrier between enabling
      signals and reading the pending signal mask.  An xchg would also probably
      work.
      
      Looking over this code for similar problems led me to do a few more
      things:
      
      - make signals_enabled and pending volatile so that they don't get cached
        in registers
      
      - add an mb() to the return paths of block_signals and unblock_signals so
        that the modification of signals_enabled doesn't get shuffled into the
        caller in the event that these are inlined in the future.

      [PATCH] uml: mconsole fixes · 3a51237d
      Al Viro 提交于
       * when we have stop/sysrq/go, we get pt_regs of whatever executes
         mc_work_proc().  Would be better to see what we had at the time of
         interrupt that got us stop.
      
       * stop/stop/stop.....  will give stack overflow.  Shouldn't allow stop
         from mconsole_stop().
      
       * stop/stop/go leaves us inside mconsole_stop() with
      	os_set_fd_block(req->originating_fd, 0);
      	reactivate_fd(req->originating_fd, MCONSOLE_IRQ);
         just done by nested mconsole_stop().  Ditto.
      
       * once we'd seen stop, there's a period when INTR commands are executed
         out of order (as they should; we might have the things stuck badly
         enough to never reach mconsole_stop(), but still not badly enough to
         block mconsole_interrupt(); in that situation we _want_ things like
         "cad" to be executed immediately).  Once we enter monsole_stop(), all
         INTR commands will be executed in order, mixed with PROC ones.  We'd
         better let user see that such change of behaviour has happened.
         (Suggested by lennert).
      
       * stack footprint of monsole_interrupt() is an atrocity; AFAICS we can
         safely make struct mc_request req; static in function there.
