      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.

      uml: fix stub address calculations · 54ae36f2
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      The calculation of CONFIG_STUB_CODE and CONFIG_STUB_DATA didn't take into
      account anything but 3G/1G and 2G/2G, leaving the other vmsplits out in the
      cold.
      
      I'd rather not duplicate the four known host vmsplit cases for each of these
      symbols.  I'd also like to calculate them based on the highest userspace
      address.
      
      The Kconfig language seems not to allow calculation of hex constants, so I
      moved this to as-layout.h.  CONFIG_STUB_CODE, CONFIG_STUB_DATA, and
      CONFIG_STUB_START are now gone.  In their place are STUB_CODE, STUB_DATA, and
      STUB_START in as-layout.h.
      
      i386 and x86_64 seem to differ as to whether an unadorned constant is an int
      or a long, so I cast them to unsigned long so they can be printed
      consistently.  However, they are also used in stub.S, where C types don't work
      so well.  So, there are ASM_ versions of these constants for use in stub.S.  I
      also ifdef-ed the non-asm-friendly portion of as-layout.h.
      
      With this in place, most of the rest of this patch is changing CONFIG_STUB_*
      to STUB_*, except in stub.S, where they are changed to ASM_STUB_*.
      
      defconfig has the old symbols deleted.
      
      I also print these addresses out in case there is any problem mapping them on
      the host.
      
      The two stub.S files had some trailing whitespace, so that is cleaned up here.

      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 CHOOSE_MODE · 6aa802ce
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      The next stage after removing code which depends on CONFIG_MODE_TT is removing
      the CHOOSE_MODE abstraction, which provided both compile-time and run-time
      branching to either tt-mode or skas-mode code.
      
      This patch removes choose-mode.h and all inclusions of it, and replaces all
      CHOOSE_MODE invocations with the skas branch.  This leaves a number of trivial
      functions which will be dealt with in a later patch.
      
      There are some changes in the uaccess and tls support which go somewhat beyond
      this and eliminate some of the now-redundant functions.

      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.

      [PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changes · e041c683
      Alan Stern 提交于
      The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe.  There is no
      protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
      chain is in use.  The issues were discussed in this thread:
      
          http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2
      
      We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
      classes:
      
      	"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
      	and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;
      
      	"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
      	the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.
      
      We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API.  Therefore
      this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
      notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
      really just the old API under a new name).  New kinds of data structures are
      used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
      registration, unregistration, and calling a chain.  The three APIs are
      explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
      kernel/sys.c.
      
      With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
      links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
      entries being added or removed.  For raw chains the implementation provides no
      guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections.  (The
      idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
      blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
      handle these things in their own way.)
      
      There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with.  For
      atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
      a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem.  Also, a
      callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
      entries on its own chain.  (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
      had to be changed to avoid it.)
      
      Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
      spinlocks for synchronization.  Instead we use RCU.  The overhead falls almost
      entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
      less frequent that calling a chain.
      
      Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications.  None
      of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.
      
        ATOMIC CHAINS
        -------------
      arch/i386/kernel/traps.c:		i386die_chain

      net/ipv6/addrconf.c:			inet6addr_chain
      net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_chain
      net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_expect_chain
      net/netlink/af_netlink.c:		netlink_chain
      
        BLOCKING CHAINS
        ---------------
      arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c:	pSeries_reconfig_chain
      arch/s390/kernel/process.c:		idle_chain
      arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c		idle_notifier
      drivers/base/memory.c:			memory_chain
      drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_policy_notifier_list
      drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_transition_notifier_list
      drivers/macintosh/adb.c:		adb_client_list
      drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c		sleep_notifier_list
      drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c		sleep_notifier_list
      drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c	wf_client_list
      drivers/usb/core/notify.c		usb_notifier_list
      drivers/video/fbmem.c			fb_notifier_list
      kernel/cpu.c				cpu_chain
      kernel/module.c				module_notify_list
      kernel/profile.c			munmap_notifier
      kernel/profile.c			task_exit_notifier
      kernel/sys.c				reboot_notifier_list
      net/core/dev.c				netdev_chain
      net/decnet/dn_dev.c:			dnaddr_chain
      net/ipv4/devinet.c:			inetaddr_chain
      
      It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong.  If they are,
      please let us know or submit a patch to fix them.  Note that any chain that
      gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
      used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
      (However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
      atomic.)
      
      The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating
      material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew
      Morton.

      [PATCH] x86: SMP alternatives · 9a0b5817
      Gerd Hoffmann 提交于
      Implement SMP alternatives, i.e.  switching at runtime between different
      code versions for UP and SMP.  The code can patch both SMP->UP and UP->SMP.
      The UP->SMP case is useful for CPU hotplug.
      
      With CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG enabled the code switches to UP at boot time and
      when the number of CPUs goes down to 1, and switches to SMP when the number
      of CPUs goes up to 2.
      
      Without CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG or on non-SMP-capable systems the code is
      patched once at boot time (if needed) and the tables are released
      afterwards.
      
      The changes in detail:
      
        * The current alternatives bits are moved to a separate file,
          the SMP alternatives code is added there.
      
        * The patch adds some new elf sections to the kernel:
          .smp_altinstructions
      	like .altinstructions, also contains a list
      	of alt_instr structs.
          .smp_altinstr_replacement
      	like .altinstr_replacement, but also has some space to
      	save original instruction before replaving it.
          .smp_locks
      	list of pointers to lock prefixes which can be nop'ed
      	out on UP.
          The first two are used to replace more complex instruction
          sequences such as spinlocks and semaphores.  It would be possible
          to deal with the lock prefixes with that as well, but by handling
          them as special case the table sizes become much smaller.
      
       * The sections are page-aligned and padded up to page size, so they
         can be free if they are not needed.
      
       * Splitted the code to release init pages to a separate function and
         use it to release the elf sections if they are unused.

      [PATCH] uml: umid cleanup · 7eebe8a9
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      This patch cleans up the umid code:
      
      - The only_if_set argument to get_umid is gone.
      
      - get_umid returns an empty string rather than NULL if there is no umid.
      
      - umid_is_random is gone since its users went away.
      
      - Some printfs were turned into printks because the code runs late enough
        that printk is working.
      
      - Error paths were cleaned up.
      
      - Some functions now return an error and let the caller print the error
        message rather than printing it themselves.  This eliminates the practice of
        passing a pointer to printf or printk in, depending on where in the boot
        process we are.
      
      - Major tidying of not_dead_yet - mostly error path cleanup, plus a comment
        explaining why it doesn't react to errors the way you might expect.
      
      - Calls to os_* interfaces that were moved under os are changed back to
        their native libc forms.
      
      - snprintf, strlcpy, and their bounds-checking friends are used more often,
        replacing by-hand bounds checking in some places.
