Anton Ivanov 2eb5f31bc4 um: Switch clocksource to hrtimers
UML is using an obsolete itimer call for
all timers and "polls" for kernel space timer firing
in its userspace portion resulting in a long list
of bugs and incorrect behaviour(s). It also uses
ITIMER_VIRTUAL for its timer which results in the
timer being dependent on it running and the cpu
load.

This patch fixes this by moving to posix high resolution
timers firing off CLOCK_MONOTONIC and relaying the timer
correctly to the UML userspace.

Fixes:
 - crashes when hosts suspends/resumes
 - broken userspace timers - effecive ~40Hz instead
   of what they should be. Note - this modifies skas behavior
   by no longer setting an itimer per clone(). Timer events
   are relayed instead.
 - kernel network packet scheduling disciplines
 - tcp behaviour especially under load
 - various timer related corner cases

Finally, overall responsiveness of userspace is better.

Richard Weinberger d0b5e15f0c um: Remove SKAS3/4 support
Before we had SKAS0 UML had two modes of operation
TT (tracing thread) and SKAS3/4 (separated kernel address space).
TT was known to be insecure and got removed a long time ago.
SKAS3/4 required a few (3 or 4) patches on the host side which never went
mainline. The last host patch is 10 years old.

With SKAS0 mode (separated kernel address space using 0 host patches),
default since 2005, SKAS3/4 is obsolete and can be removed.

Richard Weinberger 91d44ff860 um: Cleanup SIGTERM handling
Richard reported that some UML processes survive if the UML
main process receives a SIGTERM.
This issue was caused by a wrongly placed signal(SIGTERM, SIG_DFL)
in init_new_thread_signals().
It disabled the UML exit handler accidently for some processes.
The correct solution is to disable the fatal handler for all
UML helper threads/processes.
Such that last_ditch_exit() does not get called multiple times
and all processes can exit due to SIGTERM.

Richard Weinberger f75b1b1bed um: Implement probe_kernel_read()
UML needs it's own probe_kernel_read() to handle kernel
mode faults correctly.
The implementation uses mincore() on the host side to detect
whether a page is owned by the UML kernel process.

This fixes also a possible crash when sysrq-t is used.
Starting with 3.10 sysrq-t calls probe_kernel_read() to
read details from the kernel workers. As kernel worker are
completely async pointers may turn NULL while reading them.

Linus Torvalds 4e21fc138b Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal
Pull third pile of kernel_execve() patches from Al Viro:
 "The last bits of infrastructure for kernel_thread() et.al., with
  alpha/arm/x86 use of those.  Plus sanitizing the asm glue and
  do_notify_resume() on alpha, fixing the "disabled irq while running
  task_work stuff" breakage there.

  At that point the rest of kernel_thread/kernel_execve/sys_execve work
  can be done independently for different architectures.  The only
  pending bits that do depend on having all architectures converted are
  restrictred to fs/* and kernel/* - that'll obviously have to wait for
  the next cycle.

  I thought we'd have to wait for all of them done before we start
  eliminating the longjump-style insanity in kernel_execve(), but it
  turned out there's a very simple way to do that without flagday-style
  changes."

create_tmp_file was also made static.

Stanislaw Gruszka 4dbed85a35 uml: stop gdb from deleting breakpoints when running UML
Sometimes when UML is debugged gdb miss breakpoints.

When process traced by gdb do fork, debugger remove breakpoints from
child address space. There is possibility to trace more than one fork,
but this not work with UML, I guess (only guess) there is a deadlock -
gdb waits for UML and UML waits for gdb.

When clone() is called with SIGCHLD and CLONE_VM flags, gdb see this
as PTRACE_EVENT_FORK not as PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE and remove breakpoints
from child and at the same time from traced process, because either
have the same address space.

Maybe it is possible to do fix in gdb, but I'm not sure if there is
easy way to find out if traced and child processes share memory. So I
do fix for UML, it simply do not call clone() with both SIGCHLD and
CLONE_VM flags together.  Additionally __WALL flag is used for
waitpid() to assure not miss clone and normal process events.

Jeff Dike 77bf440031 uml: remove code made redundant by CHOOSE_MODE removal
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.

Jeff Dike 42fda66387 uml: throw out CONFIG_MODE_TT
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.

2.6.23-rc1 turned up another batch of references from non-__init code to
__init code.  In most cases, these were missing __init annotations.  In one
case (os_drop_memory), the annotation was present but wrong.

init_maps is __init, but for some reason was being very careful about the
mechanism by which it allocated memory, checking whether it was OK to use
kmalloc (at this point in the boot, it definitely isn't) and using either
alloc_bootmem_low_pages or kmalloc/vmalloc.  So, the kmalloc/vmalloc code is
removed.

errno directly rather than the return value of the call.

Jeff Dike 4b84c69b5f [PATCH] uml: Move signal handlers to arch code
Have most signals go through an arch-provided handler which recovers the
sigcontext and then calls a generic handler.  This replaces the
ARCH_GET_SIGCONTEXT macro, which was somewhat fragile.  On x86_64, recovering
%rdx (which holds the sigcontext pointer) must be the first thing that
happens.  sig_handler duly invokes that first, but there is no guarantee that
I can see that instructions won't be reordered such that %rdx is used before
that.  Having the arch provide the handler seems much more robust.

Some signals in some parts of UML require their own handlers - these places
don't call set_handler any more.  They call sigaction or signal themselves.

It turns out that init_new_thread_signals is always called with altstack == 1,
so we can eliminate the parameter.

Jeff Dike ad28e02978 [PATCH] uml: change sigjmp_buf to jmp_buf
Clean up the jmpbuf code.  Since softints, we no longer use sig_setjmp, so
the UML_SIGSETJMP wrapper now has a misleading name.  Also, I forgot to
change the buffers from sigjmp_buf to jmp_buf.

Jeff Dike b73781c866 [PATCH] uml: MADV_REMOVE fixes
MADV_REMOVE fixes - change the test mapping to be MAP_SHARED instead of
MAP_PRIVATE, as MADV_REMOVE on MAP_PRIVATE maps won't work.  Also, use
the kernel's definition of MADV_REMOVE instead of hardcoding it if there
isn't a libc definition.

Jeff Dike 02dea0875b [PATCH] UML: Hotplug memory, take 2
Changes since first version
	added check for MADV_REMOVE support on the host
	fixed error return botch
	shrunk sprintf array by one character

This adds hotplug memory support to UML.  The mconsole syntax is
 	config mem=[+-]n[KMG]
In other words, add or subtract some number of kilobytes, megabytes, or
gigabytes.

Unplugged pages are allocated and then madvise(MADV_TRUNCATE), which is a
currently experimental madvise extension.  These pages are tracked so they
can be plugged back in later if the admin decides to give them back.  The
first page to be unplugged is used to keep track of about 4M of other
pages.  A list_head is the first thing on this page.  The rest is filled
with addresses of other unplugged pages.  This first page is not madvised,
obviously.

When this page is filled, the next page is used in a similar way and linked
onto a list with the first page.  Etc.  This whole process reverses when
pages are plugged back in.  When a tracking page no longer tracks any
unplugged pages, then it is next in line for plugging, which is done by
freeing pages back to the kernel.

Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso 07f4e2c61c [PATCH] uml: fix usage of kernel_errno in place of errno
To avoid conflicts, in kernel files errno is expanded to kernel_errno, to
distinguish it from glibc errno.  In this case, the code wants to use the libc
errno but the kernel one is used; in the other usage, we return errno in place
of -errno in case of an error.

Jeff Dike 1d7173baf2 [PATCH] uml: implement soft interrupts
This patch implements soft interrupts.  Interrupt enabling and disabling no
longer map to sigprocmask.  Rather, a flag is set indicating whether
interrupts may be handled.  If a signal comes in and interrupts are marked as
OK, then it is handled normally.  If interrupts are marked as off, then the
signal handler simply returns after noting that a signal needs handling.  When
interrupts are enabled later on, this pending signals flag is checked, and the
IRQ handlers are called at that point.

The point of this is to reduce the cost of local_irq_save et al, since they
are very much more common than the signals that they are enabling and
disabling.  Soft interrupts produce a speed-up of ~25% on a kernel build.

Subtleties -

    UML uses sigsetjmp/siglongjmp to switch contexts.  sigsetjmp has been
    wrapped in a save_flags-like macro which remembers the interrupt state at
    setjmp time, and restores it when it is longjmp-ed back to.

    The enable_signals function has to loop because the IRQ handler
    disables interrupts before returning.  enable_signals has to return with
    signals enabled, and signals may come in between the disabling and the
    return to enable_signals.  So, it loops for as long as there are pending
    signals, ensuring that signals are enabled when it finally returns, and
    that there are no pending signals that need to be dealt with.

Jeff Dike cd2ee4a30c [PATCH] uml: Fix SIGWINCH relaying
This makes SIGWINCH work again, and fixes a couple of SIGWINCH-associated
crashes.  First, the sigio thread disables SIGWINCH because all hell breaks
loose if it ever gets one and tries to call the signal handling code.  Second,
there was a problem with deferencing tty structs after they were freed.  The
SIGWINCH support for a tty wasn't being turned off or freed after the tty went
away.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
