Jeff Dike c14b84949e uml: iRQ stacks
Add a separate IRQ stack.  This differs from i386 in having the entire
interrupt run on a separate stack rather than starting on the normal kernel
stack and switching over once some preparation has been done.  The underlying
mechanism, is of course, sigaltstack.

Another difference is that interrupts that happen in userspace are handled on
the normal kernel stack.  These cause a wait wakeup instead of a signal
delivery so there is no point in trying to switch stacks for these.  There's
no other stuff on the stack, so there is no extra stack consumption.

This quirk makes it possible to have the entire interrupt run on a separate
stack - process preemption (and calls to schedule()) happens on a normal
kernel stack.  If we enable CONFIG_PREEMPT, this will need to be rethought.

The IRQ stack for CPU 0 is declared in the same way as the initial kernel
stack.  IRQ stacks for other CPUs will be allocated dynamically.

An extra field was added to the thread_info structure.  When the active
thread_info is copied to the IRQ stack, the real_thread field points back to
the original stack.  This makes it easy to tell where to copy the thread_info
struct back to when the interrupt is finished.  It also serves as a marker of
a nested interrupt.  It is NULL for the first interrupt on the stack, and
non-NULL for any nested interrupts.

Care is taken to behave correctly if a second interrupt comes in when the
thread_info structure is being set up or taken down.  I could just disable
interrupts here, but I don't feel like giving up any of the performance gained
by not flipping signals on and off.

If an interrupt comes in during these critical periods, the handler can't run
because it has no idea what shape the stack is in.  So, it sets a bit for its
signal in a global mask and returns.  The outer handler will deal with this
signal itself.

Atomicity is had with xchg.  A nested interrupt that needs to bail out will
xchg its signal mask into pending_mask and repeat in case yet another
interrupt hit at the same time, until the mask stabilizes.

The outermost interrupt will set up the thread_info and xchg a zero into
pending_mask when it is done.  At this point, nested interrupts will look at
->real_thread and see that no setup needs to be done.  They can just continue
normally.

Similar care needs to be taken when exiting the outer handler.  If another
interrupt comes in while it is copying the thread_info, it will drop a bit
into pending_mask.  The outer handler will check this and if it is non-zero,
will loop, set up the stack again, and handle the interrupt.

Jeff Dike 2ea5bc5e5b uml: tidy IRQ code
Some tidying of the irq code before introducing irq stacks.  Mostly

Jeff Dike c83e448420 uml: an idle system should have zero load average
The ever-vigilant users of linode.com noticed that an idle 2.6 UML has a
persistent load average of ~.4.

It turns out that because the UML timer handler processed softirqs before
actually delivering the tick, the tick was counted in the context of the idle
thread about half the time.

inconsistent behavior.  Previously, gettimeofday could be (and was)

Jeff Dike 16dd07bc64 uml: more page fault path trimming
More trimming of the page fault path.

Permissions are passed around in a single int rather than one bit per
int.  The permission values are copied from libc so that they can be
passed to mmap and mprotect without any further conversion.

The register sets used by do_syscall_stub and copy_context_skas0 are
initialized once, at boot time, rather than once per call.

wait_stub_done checks whether it is getting the signals it expects by
comparing the wait status to a mask containing bits for the signals of
interest rather than comparing individually to the signal numbers.  It
also has one check for a wait failure instead of two.  The caller is
expected to do the initial continue of the stub.  This gets rid of an
argument and some logic.  The fname argument is gone, as that can be
had from a stack trace.

user_signal() is collapsed into userspace() as it is basically one or
two lines of code afterwards.

The physical memory remapping stuff is gone, as it is unused.

flush_tlb_page is inlined.

Jeff Dike 64f60841c0 uml: speed page fault path
Give the page fault code a specialized path.  There is only one page to look
at, so there's no point in going into the general page table walking code.
There's only going to be one host operation, so there are no opportunities for
merging.  So, we go straight to the pte we want, figure out what needs doing,
and do it.

While I was in here, I fixed the wart where the address passed to unmap was a
void *, but an unsigned long to map and protect.

This gives me just under 10% on a kernel build.

Jeff Dike 3d564047a5 uml: start fixing os_read_file and os_write_file
This patch starts the removal of a very old, very broken piece of code.  This
stems from the problem of passing a userspace buffer into read() or write() on
the host.  If that buffer had not yet been faulted in, read and write will
return -EFAULT.

To avoid this problem, the solution was to fault the buffer in before the
system call by touching the pages that hold the buffer by doing a copy-user of
a byte to each page.  This is obviously bogus, but it does usually work, in tt
mode, since the kernel and process are in the same address space and userspace
addresses can be accessed directly in the kernel.

In skas mode, where the kernel and process are in separate address spaces, it
is completely bogus because the userspace address, which is invalid in the
kernel, is passed into the system call instead of the corresponding physical
address, which would be valid.  Here, it appears that this code, on every host
read() or write(), tries to fault in a random process page.  This doesn't seem
to cause any correctness problems, but there is a performance impact.  This
patch, and the ones following, result in a 10-15% performance gain on a kernel
build.

This code can't be immediately tossed out because when it is, you can't log
in.  Apparently, there is some code in the console driver which depends on
this somehow.

However, we can start removing it by switching the code which does I/O using
kernel addresses to using plain read() and write().  This patch introduces
os_read_file_k and os_write_file_k for use with kernel buffers and converts
all call locations which use obvious kernel buffers to use them.  These
include I/O using buffers which are local variables which are on the stack or
kmalloc-ed.  Later patches will handle the less obvious cases, followed by a
mass conversion back to the original interface.

Jeff Dike 377fad3acb uml: kernel segfaults should dump proper registers
If there's a segfault inside the kernel, we want a dump of the registers at
the point of the segfault, not the registers at the point of calling panic or
the last userspace registers.

sig_handler_common_skas now uses a static register set in the case of a
SIGSEGV to avoid messing up the process registers if the segfault turns out to
be non-fatal.

The architecture sigcontext-to-pt_regs copying code was repurposed to copy
data out of the SEGV stack frame.

blk_max_pfn < blk_max_low_pfn.  This is the case on UML, but
init_emergency_isa_pool() hits BUG_ON(!isa_page_pool) because there doesn't
seem to be a dma zone on UML for mempool_create() to allocate from.

Most architectures seem to have max_low_pfn == max_pfn, but UML doesn't
because of the uml_reserved chunk it keeps for itself.  From what I can see,
max_pfn and max_low_pfn don't get much use after the bootmem-allocator stops
being used anyway, except that they initialize the block layer's
blk_max_low_pfn/blk_max_pfn.

This ensures init_emergency_isa_pool() doesn't crash uml in this situation by
setting max_low_pfn == max_pfn in mem_init().

Jeff Dike 6e6d74cfac [PATCH] uml: x86_64 ptrace fixes
This patch fixes some missing ptrace bits on x86_64.  PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL is
hooked up and implemented.  This required generalizing arch_prctl_skas
slightly to take a task_struct to modify.  Previously, it always operated on
current.

Reading and writing the debug registers is also enabled by un-ifdefing the
code that implements that.  It turns out that x86_64 is identical to i386, so
the same code can be used.

Jeff Dike de5fe76e43 [PATCH] uml: umid tidying
Add an error message when two umids are put on the command line.

umid.h is kind of pointless since it only declares one thing, and that
is already declared in os.h.

Commented the lack of locking of some data in os-Linux/umid.h.
