537ae946e8 [PATCH] uml: timer cleanups
set_interval returns an error instead of panicing if setitimer fails.  Some of
its callers now check the return.

enable_timer is largely tt-mode-specific, so it is marked as such, and the
only skas-mode caller is made to call set-interval instead.

user_time_init was a no-value-added wrapper around set_interval, so it is
gone.

Since set_interval is now called from kernel code, callers no longer pass
ITIMER_* to it.  Instead, they pass a flag which is converted into ITIMER_REAL
or ITIMER_VIRTUAL.

19bdf0409f [PATCH] uml: SIGIO cleanups
- Various cleanups in the sigio code.

- Removed explicit zero-initializations of a few structures.

- Improved some error messages.

- An API change - there was an asymmetry between reactivate_fd calling
  maybe_sigio_broken, which goes through all the machinery of figuring out if
  a file descriptor supports SIGIO and applying the workaround to it if not,
  and deactivate_fd, which just turns off the descriptor.

  This is changed so that only activate_fd calls maybe_sigio_broken, when
  the descriptor is first seen.  reactivate_fd now calls add_sigio_fd, which
  is symmetric with ignore_sigio_fd.

  This removes a recursion which makes a critical section look more critical
  than it really was, obsoleting a big comment to that effect.  This requires
  keeping track of all descriptors which are getting the SIGIO treatment, not
  just the ones being polled at any given moment, so that reactivate_fd,
  through add_sigio_fd, doesn't try to tell the SIGIO thread about descriptors
  it doesn't care about.

46a82b2d55 [PATCH] Standardize pxx_page macros
One of the changes necessary for shared page tables is to standardize the
pxx_page macros.  pte_page and pmd_page have always returned the struct
page associated with their entry, while pte_page_kernel and pmd_page_kernel
have returned the kernel virtual address.  pud_page and pgd_page, on the
other hand, return the kernel virtual address.

Shared page tables needs pud_page and pgd_page to return the actual page
structures.  There are very few actual users of these functions, so it is
simple to standardize their usage.

Since this is basic cleanup, I am submitting these changes as a standalone
patch.  Per Hugh Dickins' comments about it, I am also changing the
pxx_page_kernel macros to pxx_page_vaddr to clarify their meaning.

0b0bf7a3cc [PATCH] vDSO hash-style fix
The latest toolchains can produce a new ELF section in DSOs and
dynamically-linked executables.  The new section ".gnu.hash" replaces
".hash", and allows for more efficient runtime symbol lookups by the
dynamic linker.  The new ld option --hash-style={sysv|gnu|both} controls
whether to produce the old ".hash", the new ".gnu.hash", or both.  In some
new systems such as Fedora Core 6, gcc by default passes --hash-style=gnu
to the linker, so that a standard invocation of "gcc -shared" results in
producing a DSO with only ".gnu.hash".  The new ".gnu.hash" sections need
to be dealt with the same way as ".hash" sections in all respects; only the
dynamic linker cares about their contents.  To work with older dynamic
linkers (i.e.  preexisting releases of glibc), a binary must have the old
".hash" section.  The --hash-style=both option produces binaries that a new
dynamic linker can use more efficiently, but an old dynamic linker can
still handle.

The new section runs afoul of the custom linker scripts used to build vDSO
images for the kernel.  On ia64, the failure mode for this is a boot-time
panic because the vDSO's PT_IA_64_UNWIND segment winds up ill-formed.

This patch addresses the problem in two ways.

First, it mentions ".gnu.hash" in all the linker scripts alongside ".hash".
 This produces correct vDSO images with --hash-style=sysv (or old tools),
with --hash-style=gnu, or with --hash-style=both.

Second, it passes the --hash-style=sysv option when building the vDSO
images, so that ".gnu.hash" is not actually produced.  This is the most
conservative choice for compatibility with any old userland.  There is some
concern that some ancient glibc builds (though not any known old production
system) might choke on --hash-style=both binaries.  The optimizations
provided by the new style of hash section do not really matter for a DSO
with a tiny number of symbols, as the vDSO has.  If someone wants to use
=gnu or =both for their vDSO builds and worry less about that
compatibility, just change the option and the linker script changes will
make any choice work fine.

aceb343464 [PATCH] uml: timer initialization cleanup
This cleans up the mess that is the timer initialization.  There used to be
two timer handlers - one that basically ran during delay loop calibration and
one that handled the timer afterwards.  There were also two sets of timer
initialization code - one that starts in user code and calls into the kernel
side of the house, and one that starts in kernel code and calls user code.

This eliminates one timer handler and consolidates the two sets of
initialization code.

I suppose that this value might change in the future (or even can be
configured), so I added a constant in mem_user.h file.

Also, I rounded CONFIG_HOST_TASk_SIZE to a 4M.

47e5243afe [PATCH] uml: make copy_*_user atomic
Make __copy_*_user_inatomic really atomic to avoid "Sleeping function called in
atomic context" warnings, especially from futex code.

This is made by adding another kmap_atomic slot and making copy_*_user_skas
use kmap_atomic; also copy_*_user() becomes atomic, but that's true and is not
a problem for i386 (and we can always add might_sleep there as done
elsewhere).  For TT mode kmap is not used, so there's no need for this.

I've had to use another slot since both KM_USER0 and KM_USER1 are used
elsewhere and could cause conflicts.  Till now we reused the kmap_atomic slot
list from the subarch, but that's not needed as that list must contain the
common ones (used by generic code) + the ones used in architecture specific
code (and Uml till now used none); so I've taken the i386 one after comparing
it with ones from other archs, and added KM_UML_USERCOPY.

d1bef4ed5f [PATCH] genirq: rename desc->handler to desc->chip
This patch-queue improves the generic IRQ layer to be truly generic, by adding
various abstractions and features to it, without impacting existing
functionality.

While the queue can be best described as "fix and improve everything in the
generic IRQ layer that we could think of", and thus it consists of many
smaller features and lots of cleanups, the one feature that stands out most is
the new 'irq chip' abstraction.

The irq-chip abstraction is about describing and coding and IRQ controller
driver by mapping its raw hardware capabilities [and quirks, if needed] in a
straightforward way, without having to think about "IRQ flow"
(level/edge/etc.) type of details.

This stands in contrast with the current 'irq-type' model of genirq
architectures, which 'mixes' raw hardware capabilities with 'flow' details.
The patchset supports both types of irq controller designs at once, and
converts i386 and x86_64 to the new irq-chip design.

As a bonus side-effect of the irq-chip approach, chained interrupt controllers
(master/slave PIC constructs, etc.) are now supported by design as well.

The end result of this patchset intends to be simpler architecture-level code
and more consolidation between architectures.

We reused many bits of code and many concepts from Russell King's ARM IRQ
layer, the merging of which was one of the motivations for this patchset.

This patch:

rename desc->handler to desc->chip.

Originally i did not want to do this, because it's a big patch.  But having
both "desc->handler", "desc->handle_irq" and "action->handler" caused a
large degree of confusion and made the code appear alot less clean than it
truly is.

I have also attempted a dual approach as well by introducing a
desc->chip alias - but that just wasnt robust enough and broke
frequently.

So lets get over with this quickly.  The conversion was done automatically
via scripts and converts all the code in the kernel.

This renaming patch is the first one amongst the patches, so that the
remaining patches can stay flexible and can be merged and split up
without having some big monolithic patch act as a merge barrier.

5cb38bc47b [PATCH] uml: fix wall_to_monotonic initialization
From: Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com>

Initialize wall_to_monotonic correctly.  This fixes a problem where sleeps
lasted about one secone less than they should.  This also called for a bit of
code restructuring, following a patch which Blaisorblade had been keeping.

6760da0197 [PATCH] uml: change timer initialization
inet_init, which schedules, is called before the UML timer_init, which sets
up the timer.  The result is the interval timers being manipulated before
the appropriate signal handlers are established, causing unhandled timers.

This is fixed by making timer_init be called earlier.

7b12b91379 [PATCH] uml: cleanup unprofile expression and build infrastructure
*) Rather than duplicate in various buggy ways the application of
   CFLAGS_NO_HARDENING and UNPROFILE (which apply to the same files),
   centralize it in Makefile.rules.  UNPROFILE_OBJS mustn't be listed in
   USER_OBJS but are compiled as such.

I've also verified that unprofile didn't work in the current form, because we
set _c_flags directly (using CFLAGS and not USER_CFLAGS, which is wrong),
which is normally used by c_flags, but we also override c_flags for all
USER_OBJS, and there we don't call unprofile.

Instead it only worked for unmap.o, the only one which wasn't a USER_OBJ.

We need to set c_flags (which is not a public Kbuild API) to clear a lot of
compilation flags like -nostdinc which Kbuild forces on everything.

*) Rather than $(CFLAGS_$(notdir $@)), which expands to CFLAGS_anObj.s when
   building "anObj.s", use $(CFLAGS_$(*F).o) which always accesses
   CFLAGS_anObj.o, like done by Kbuild.

*) Make c_flags apply to all targets having the same basename, rather than
   listing .s, .i, .lst and .o, with the use (which I tested) of

	$(USER_OBJS:.o=.%): c_flags = ...

and of

 -      $(obj)/unmap.c: _c_flags = ...
 +      $(obj)/unmap.%: _c_flags = ...

275e6e1ee2 [PATCH] uml: fix compilation and execution with hardened GCC
To make some half-assembly stubs compile, disable various "hardened" GCC
features:

*) we can't make it build PIC code as we need %ebx to do syscalls and GCC
   wants it free for PIC

*) we can't leave stack protection as the stub is moved (not relocated!) in
   memory so the RIP-relative access to the canary tries reading from an
   unmapped address and causes a segfault, since we move the stub of various
   megabytes (the exact amount will be decided at runtime) away from the
   link-time address.

aa6758d486 [PATCH] uml: implement {get,set}_thread_area for i386
Implement sys_[gs]et_thread_area and the corresponding ptrace operations for
UML.  This is the main chunk, additional parts follow.  This implementation is
now well tested and has run reliably for some time, and we've understood all
the previously existing problems.

Their implementation saves the new GDT content and then forwards the call to
the host when appropriate, i.e.  immediately when the target process is
running or on context switch otherwise (i.e.  on fork and on ptrace() calls).

In SKAS mode, we must switch registers on each context switch (because SKAS
does not switches tls_array together with current->mm).

Also, added get_cpu() locking; this has been done for SKAS mode, since TT does
not need it (it does not use smp_processor_id()).
