      uml: deal with inaccessible address space start · 40fb16a3
      Tom Spink 提交于
      This patch makes os_get_task_size locate the bottom of the address space,
      as well as the top.  This is for systems which put a lower limit on mmap
      addresses.  It works by manually scanning pages from zero onwards until a
      valid page is found.
      
      Because the bottom of the address space may not be zero, it's not
      sufficient to assume the top of the address space is the size of the
      address space.  The size is the difference between the top address and
      bottom address.
      
      [jdike@addtoit.com: changed the name to reflect that this function is
      supposed to return the top of the process address space, not its size and
      changed the return value to reflect that.  Also some minor formatting
      changes]

      uml: runtime host VMSPLIT detection · 536788fe
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      Calculate TASK_SIZE at run-time by figuring out the host's VMSPLIT - this is
      needed on i386 if UML is to run on hosts with varying VMSPLITs without
      recompilation.
      
      TASK_SIZE is now defined in terms of a variable, task_size.  This gets rid of
      an include of pgtable.h from processor.h, which can cause include loops.
      
      On i386, task_size is calculated early in boot by probing the address space in
      a binary search to figure out where the boundary between usable and non-usable
      memory is.  This tries to make sure that a page that is considered to be in
      userspace is, or can be made, read-write.  I'm concerned about a system-global
      VDSO page in kernel memory being hit and considered to be a userspace page.
      
      On x86_64, task_size is just the old value of CONFIG_TOP_ADDR.
      
      A bunch of config variable are gone now.  CONFIG_TOP_ADDR is directly replaced
      by TASK_SIZE.  NEST_LEVEL is gone since the relocation of the stubs makes it
      irrelevant.  All the HOST_VMSPLIT stuff is gone.  All references to these in
      arch/um/Makefile are also gone.
      
      I noticed and fixed a missing extern in os.h when adding os_get_task_size.
      
      Note: This has been revised to fix the 32-bit UML on 64-bit host bug that
      Miklos ran into.
