2006-06-05[PATCH] uml: fix wall_to_monotonic initializationJeff Dike
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.

2006-04-11[PATCH] uml: fix "extern-vs-static" proto conflict in TLS codePaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Move the prototype from arch-generic to arch-specific includes because on x86_64 these functions are two static inlines.

2006-03-31[PATCH] uml: clean arch_switch usagePaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
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...

2006-02-01[PATCH] uml: avoid "CONFIG_NR_CPUS undeclared" bogus error messagesPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
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.

2006-01-18[PATCH] uml: avoid malloc to sleep in atomic sectionsPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Ugly trick to help make malloc not sleeping - we can't do anything else. But this is not yet optimal, since spinlock don't trigger in_atomic() when preemption is disabled. Also, even if ugly, this was already used in one place, and was even more bogus. Fix it.

2005-05-05[PATCH] uml: S390 preparation, abstract host page fault dataBodo Stroesser
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.

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!
