Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso 972410b023 [PATCH] uml: clean arch_switch usage
Call arch_switch also in switch_to_skas, even if it's, for now, a no-op for
that case (and mark this in the comment); this will change soon.

Also, arch_switch for TT mode is actually useless when the PT proxy (a
complicate debugging instrumentation for TT mode) is not enabled.  In fact, it
only calls update_debugregs, which checks debugregs_seq against seq (to check
if the registers are up-to-date - seq here means a "version number" of the
registers).

If the ptrace proxy is not enabled, debugregs_seq always stays 0 and
update_debugregs will be a no-op.  So, optimize this out (the compiler can't
do it).

Also, I've been disappointed by the fact that it would make a lot of sense if,
after calling a successful
update_debugregs(current->thread.arch.debugregs_seq),
current->thread.arch.debugregs_seq were updated with the new debugregs_seq.
But this is not done.  Is this a bug or a feature?  For all purposes, it seems
a bug (otherwise the whole mechanism does not make sense, which is also a
possibility to check), which causes some performance only problems (not
correctness), since we write_debugregs when not needed.

Also, as suggested by Jeff, remove a redundant enabling of SIGVTALRM,
comprised in the subsequent local_irq_enable().  I'm just a bit dubious if
ordering matters there...

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.

Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso 72e5525765 [PATCH] uml: avoid "CONFIG_NR_CPUS undeclared" bogus error messages
Olaf Hering <olh@suse.de>

Olaf reported UML doesn't build for him with a clear analisys of what happened
- we're using NR_CPUS in files linked against glibc headers.  Seems like it
defines CONFIG_SMP but not CONFIG_NR_CPUS, so we get CONFIG_NR_CPUS
undeclared.

The fix is to move the declaration away from that header file and move it in
asm-um headers, and to add that header where needed.

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 4ee189a926 [PATCH] uml: fix missing KBUILD_BASENAME
2.6.15-mm1 caused kernel-offsets.c to stop compiling with a syntax error in a
header.  The problem was with KBUILD_BASENAME, which didn't get a definition
with the by-hand compilation in the main UML Makefile.

This was OK before since the expansion was syntactically the same as the
KBUILD_BASENAME token.  With -mm1, the expansion is now a quote-delimited
string, so there needs to be a definition of it.

Since kernel-offsets.c is basically the same as other arches' asm-offsets.c,
and those seem to build OK, this patch turns kernel-offsets.c into
asm-offsets.c.  kernel-offsets.c is in arch/um/sys-$(SUBARCH), i.e.  sys-i386
and sys-x86_64, while kbuild expects it to be in arch/um/kernel.
kernel-offsets.c is moved to
arch/um/include/sysdep-$(SUBARCH)/kernel-offsets.h, which is included by
arch/um/kernel/asm-offsets.c.  With that, include/asm-um/asm-offsets.h is
generated automatically.  kernel-offsets.h continues to exist because it needs
to be accessible to userspace UML code, and include/asm-um isn't.  So, a
symlink is made from arch/um/include/kernel-offsets.h to
include/asm-um/asm-offsets.h.

Jeff Dike 7eebe8a9c5 [PATCH] uml: umid cleanup
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.

Jeff Dike 165dc59116 [PATCH] uml: Simplify console opening/closing and irq registration
This patch simplifies the opening and closing of host console devices and the
registration and deregistration of IRQs.  The intent is to make it obvious
that an IRQ can't exist without an open file descriptor.

chan_enable will now open the channel, and when both opening and IRQ
registration are desired, this should be used.  Opening only is done for the
initial console, so that interface still needs to exist.

The free_irqs_later interface is now gone.  It was intended to avoid freeing
an IRQ while it was being processed.  It did this, but it didn't eliminate the
possiblity of free_irq being called from an interrupt, which is bad.  In its
place is a list of irqs to be freed, which is processed by the signal handler
just before exiting.  close_one_chan now disables irqs.

When a host device disappears, it is just closed, and that disables IRQs.

The device id registered with the IRQ is now the chan structure, not the tty.
This is because the interrupt arrives on a descriptor associated with the
channel.  This caused equivalent changes in the arguments to line_timer_cb.
line_disable is gone since it is not used any more.

The count field in the line structure is gone.  tty->count is used instead.

The complicated logic in sigio_handler with freeing IRQs when necessary and
making sure its idea of the next irq is correct is now much simpler.  The irq
list can't be rearranged underneath it, so it is now a simple list walk.

Jeff Dike 5b7b15afee [PATCH] uml skas0: stop gcc's insanity
With Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it>

UML skas0 stub has been miscompiling for many people (incidentally not
the authors), depending on the used GCC versions.

I think (and testing on some GCC versions shows) this patch avoids the
fundamental issue which is behind this, namely gcc using the stack when
we have just replaced it, behind gcc's back.  The remapping and storage
of the return value is hidden in a blob of asm, hopefully giving gcc no
room for creativity.

This patch makes stub_segv use the stub_syscall macros.  This was needed

There is a stub_syscall0 for getpid.  stub_segv was changed to be a libc file,

Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso 7a590611c0 [PATCH] uml: fix access_ok
The access_ok_tt() macro is bogus, in that a read access is unconditionally
considered valid.

I couldn't find in SCM logs the introduction of this check, but I went back to
2.4.20-1um and the definition was the same.

Possibly this was done to avoid problems with missing set_fs() calls, but
there can't be any I think because they would fail with SKAS mode.
TT-specific code is still to check.

Also, this patch joins common code together, and makes the "address range
wrapping" check happen for all cases, rather than for only some.

This may, possibly, be reoptimized at some time, but the current code doesn't
seem clever, just confused.

* Important: I've also had to change references to access_ok_{tt,skas} back to
  access_ok - the kernel wasn't that happy otherwise.

Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso 4f0272415a [PATCH] uml: fix syscall stubs
Jeff Dike noted that the assembly code for syscall stubs is misassembled with
GCC 3.2.3: the values copied in registers weren't preserved between one asm()
and the following one.

So I fixed the thing by rewriting the __asm__ constraints more like unistd.h
ones.

Note: in syscall6 case I had to add one more instruction (i.e.  moving arg6 in
eax and shuffling things around) - it's needed for the function to be valid in
general (we can't load the value from the stack, relative to ebp, because we
change it), but could be avoided since we actually use a constant as param 6.

The only fix would be to turn stub_syscall6 to a macro and use a "i"
constraint for arg6 (i.e., specify it's a constant value).

Jeff Dike 3eddddcf23 [PATCH] uml: breakpoint an arbitrary thread
This patch implements a stack trace for a thread, not unlike sysrq-t does.
The advantage to this is that a break point can be placed on showreqs, so that
upon showing the stack, you jump immediately into the debugger.  While sysrq-t
does the same thing, sysrq-t shows *all* threads stacks.  It also doesn't work
right now.  In the future, I thought it might be acceptable to make this show
all pids stacks, but perhaps leaving well enough alone and just using sysrq-t
would be okay.  For now, upon receiving the stack command, UML switches
context to that thread, dumps its registers, and then switches context back to
the original thread.  Since UML compacts all threads into one of 4 host
threads, this sort of mechanism could be expanded in the future to include
other debugging helpers that sysrq does not cover.

Note by jdike - The main benefit to this is that it brings an arbitrary thread
back into context, where it can be examined by gdb.  The fact that it dumps it
stack is secondary.  This provides the capability to examine a sleeping
thread, which has existed in tt mode, but not in skas mode until now.

Also, the other threads, that sysrq doesn't cover, can be gdb-ed directly
anyway.

The driver breaks a struct request into IO requests to the host, based on the

The ubd IO thread is gone, since there is now an equivalent thread in the AIO
module.

There is provision for multiple outstanding requests now.  Requests aren't
retired until all pieces of it have been completed.  The AIO requests have a
shared count, which is decremented as IO operations come in until it reaches
0.  This can be possibly moved to the request struct - haven't looked at this

Jeff Dike c56004901f [PATCH] uml: TLB operation batching
This adds VM op batching to skas0.  Rather than having a context switch to and
from the userspace stub for each address space change, we write a number of
operations to the stub data page and invoke a different stub which loops over
them and executes them all in one go.

The operations are stored as [ system call number, arg1, arg2, ... ] tuples.

The set is terminated by a system call number of 0.  Single operations, i.e.
page faults, are handled in the old way, since that is slightly more
efficient.

For a kernel build, a minority (~1/4) of the operations are part of a set.
These sets averaged ~100 in length, so for this quarter, the context switching
overhead is greatly reduced.

Note: There is a bug in skas3.v7 host patch, that avoids UML-skas from
running properly on a SMP-box.  In full skas3, I never really saw problems,
but in skas0 they showed up.

More commentary by jdike - What this patch does is makes sure that the host
parent of each new host process matches the UML parent of the corresponding
UML process.  This ensures that any changed LDTs are inherited.  This is
done by having clone actually called by the UML process from its stub,
rather than by the kernel.  We have special syscall stubs that are loaded
onto the stub code page because that code must be completely
self-contained.  These stubs are given C interfaces, and used like normal C
functions, but there are subtleties.  Principally, we have to be careful
about stack variables in stub_clone_handler after the clone.  The code is
written so that there aren't any - everything boils down to a fixed
address.  If there were any locals, references to them after the clone
would be wrong because the stack just changed.

Jeff Dike d67b569f5f [PATCH] uml: skas0 - separate kernel address space on stock hosts
UML has had two modes of operation - an insecure, slow mode (tt mode) in
which the kernel is mapped into every process address space which requires
no host kernel modifications, and a secure, faster mode (skas mode) in
which the UML kernel is in a separate host address space, which requires a
patch to the host kernel.

This patch implements something very close to skas mode for hosts which
don't support skas - I'm calling this skas0.  It provides the security of
the skas host patch, and some of the performance gains.

The two main things that are provided by the skas patch, /proc/mm and
PTRACE_FAULTINFO, are implemented in a way that require no host patch.

For the remote address space changing stuff (mmap, munmap, and mprotect),
we set aside two pages in the process above its stack, one of which
contains a little bit of code which can call mmap et al.

To update the address space, the system call information (system call
number and arguments) are written to the stub page above the code.  The
%esp is set to the beginning of the data, the %eip is set the the start of
the stub, and it repeatedly pops the information into its registers and
makes the system call until it sees a system call number of zero.  This is
to amortize the cost of the context switch across multiple address space
updates.

When the updates are done, it SIGSTOPs itself, and the kernel process
continues what it was doing.

For a PTRACE_FAULTINFO replacement, we set up a SIGSEGV handler in the
child, and let it handle segfaults rather than nullifying them.  The
handler is in the same page as the mmap stub.  The second page is used as
the stack.  The handler reads cr2 and err from the sigcontext, sticks them
at the base of the stack in a faultinfo struct, and SIGSTOPs itself.  The
kernel then reads the faultinfo and handles the fault.

A complication on x86_64 is that this involves resetting the registers to
the segfault values when the process is inside the kill system call.  This
breaks on x86_64 because %rcx will contain %rip because you tell SYSRET
where to return to by putting the value in %rcx.  So, this corrupts $rcx on
return from the segfault.  To work around this, I added an
arch_finish_segv, which on x86 does nothing, but which on x86_64 ptraces
the child back through the sigreturn.  This causes %rcx to be restored by
sigreturn and avoids the corruption.  Ultimately, I think I will replace
this with the trick of having it send itself a blocked signal which will be
unblocked by the sigreturn.  This will allow it to be stopped just after
the sigreturn, and PTRACE_SYSCALLed without all the back-and-forth of
PTRACE_SYSCALLing it through sigreturn.

This runs on a stock host, so theoretically (and hopefully), tt mode isn't
needed any more.  We need to make sure that this is better in every way
than tt mode, though.  I'm concerned about the speed of address space
updates and page fault handling, since they involve extra round-trips to
the child.  We can amortize the round-trip cost for large address space
updates by writing all of the operations to the data page and having the
child execute them all at the same time.  This will help fork and exec, but
not page faults, since they involve only one page.

I can't think of any way to help page faults, except to add something like
PTRACE_FAULTINFO to the host.  There is PTRACE_SIGINFO, but UML doesn't use
siginfo for SIGSEGV (or anything else) because there isn't enough
information in the siginfo struct to handle page faults (the faulting
operation type is missing).  Adding that would make PTRACE_SIGINFO a usable
equivalent to PTRACE_FAULTINFO.

As for the code itself:

- The system call stub is in arch/um/kernel/sys-$(SUBARCH)/stub.S.  It is
  put in its own section of the binary along with stub_segv_handler in
  arch/um/kernel/skas/process.c.  This is manipulated with run_syscall_stub
  in arch/um/kernel/skas/mem_user.c.  syscall_stub will execute any system
  call at all, but it's only used for mmap, munmap, and mprotect.

- The x86_64 stub calls sigreturn by hand rather than allowing the normal
  sigreturn to happen, because the normal sigreturn is a SA_RESTORER in
  UML's address space provided by libc.  Needless to say, this is not
  available in the child's address space.  Also, it does a couple of odd
  pops before that which restore the stack to the state it was in at the
  time the signal handler was called.

- There is a new field in the arch mmu_context, which is now a union.
  This is the pid to be manipulated rather than the /proc/mm file
  descriptor.  Code which deals with this now checks proc_mm to see whether
  it should use the usual skas code or the new code.

- userspace_tramp is now used to create a new host process for every UML
  process, rather than one per UML processor.  It checks proc_mm and
  ptrace_faultinfo to decide whether to map in the pages above its stack.

- start_userspace now makes CLONE_VM conditional on proc_mm since we need
  separate address spaces now.

- switch_mm_skas now just sets userspace_pid[0] to the new pid rather
  than PTRACE_SWITCH_MM.  There is an addition to userspace which updates
  its idea of the pid being manipulated each time around the loop.  This is
  important on exec, when the pid will change underneath userspace().

- The stub page has a pte, but it can't be mapped in using tlb_flush
  because it is part of tlb_flush.  This is why it's required for it to be
  mapped in by userspace_tramp.

Other random things:

- The stub section in uml.lds.S is page aligned.  This page is written
  out to the backing vm file in setup_physmem because it is mapped from
  there into user processes.

- There's some confusion with TASK_SIZE now that there are a couple of
  extra pages that the process can't use.  TASK_SIZE is considered by the
  elf code to be the usable process memory, which is reasonable, so it is
  decreased by two pages.  This confuses the definition of
  USER_PGDS_IN_LAST_PML4, making it too small because of the rounding down
  of the uneven division.  So we round it to the nearest PGDIR_SIZE rather
  than the lower one.

- I added a missing PT_SYSCALL_ARG6_OFFSET macro.

- um_mmu.h was made into a userspace-usable file.

- proc_mm and ptrace_faultinfo are globals which say whether the host
  supports these features.

- There is a bad interaction between the mm.nr_ptes check at the end of
  exit_mmap, stack randomization, and skas0.  exit_mmap will stop freeing
  pages at the PGDIR_SIZE boundary after the last vma.  If the stack isn't
  on the last page table page, the last pte page won't be freed, as it
  should be since the stub ptes are there, and exit_mmap will BUG because
  there is an unfreed page.  To get around this, TASK_SIZE is set to the
  next lowest PGDIR_SIZE boundary and mm->nr_ptes is decremented after the
  calls to init_stub_pte.  This ensures that we know the process stack (and
  all other process mappings) will be below the top page table page, and
  thus we know that mm->nr_ptes will be one too many, and can be
  decremented.

Things that need fixing:

- We may need better assurrences that the stub code is PIC.

- The stub pte is set up in init_new_context_skas.

- alloc_pgdir is probably the right place.

Bodo Stroesser c578455a3e [PATCH] uml: S390 preparation, abstract host page fault data
This patch removes the arch-specific fault/trap-infos from thread and
skas-regs.

It adds a new struct faultinfo, that is arch-specific defined in
sysdep/faultinfo.h.

The structure is inserted in thread.arch and thread.regs.skas and
thread.regs.tt

Now, segv and other trap-handlers can copy the contents from regs.X.faultinfo
to thread.arch.faultinfo with one simple assignment.

Also, the number of macros necessary is reduced to

FAULT_ADDRESS(struct faultinfo)
    extracts the faulting address from faultinfo

FAULT_WRITE(struct faultinfo)
    extracts the "is_write" flag

SEGV_IS_FIXABLE(struct faultinfo)
    is true for the fixable segvs, i.e. (TRAP == 14)
    on i386

UPT_FAULTINFO(regs)
    result is (struct faultinfo *) to the faultinfo
    in regs->skas.faultinfo

GET_FAULTINFO_FROM_SC(struct faultinfo, struct sigcontext *)
    copies the relevant parts of the sigcontext to
    struct faultinfo.

On SIGSEGV, call user_signal() instead of handle_segv(), if the architecture
provides the information needed in PTRACE_FAULTINFO, or if PTRACE_FAULTINFO is
missing, because segv-stub will provide the info.

The benefit of the change is, that in case of a non-fixable SIGSEGV, we can
give user processes a SIGSEGV, instead of possibly looping on pagefault
handling.

Since handle_segv() sikked arch_fixup() implicitly by passing ip==0 to segv(),
I changed segv() to call arch_fixup() only, if !is_user.
