2006-09-26[PATCH] uml: stack usage reductionJeff Dike
The KSTK_* macros used an inordinate amount of stack. In order to overcome an impedance mismatch between their interface, which just returns a single register value, and the interface of get_thread_regs, which took a full pt_regs, the implementation created an on-stack pt_regs, filled it in, and returned one field. do_task_stat calls KSTK_* twice, resulting in two local pt_regs, blowing out the stack. This patch changes the interface (and name) of get_thread_regs to just return a single register from a jmp_buf. The include of archsetjmp.h" in registers.h to get the definition of jmp_buf exposed a bogus include of <setjmp.h> in start_up.c. <setjmp.h> shouldn't be used anywhere any more since UML uses the klibc setjmp/longjmp.

2006-04-19[PATCH] uml: physical memory map file fixesRob Landley
UML really wants shared memory semantics form its physical memory map file, and the place for that is /dev/shm. So move the default, and fix the error messages to recognize that this value can be overridden.

2006-03-31[PATCH] UML: Hotplug memory, take 2Jeff Dike
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.

2006-02-07[PATCH] uml: block SIGWINCH in ptrace tester childJeff Dike
The process that UML uses to probe the host's ptrace capabilities can (rarely) receive a SIGWINCH, confusing the parent. This fixes that by blocking SIGWINCH.

2005-12-29[PATCH] uml: fix random segfaults at bootupPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Don't use printk() where "current_thread_info()" is crap. Until when we switch to running on init_stack, current_thread_info() evaluates to crap. Printk uses "current" at times (in detail, &current is evaluated with CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK to check the spinlock owner task). And this leads to random segmentation faults. Exactly, what happens is that &current = *(current_thread_info()), i.e. round down $esp and dereference the value. I.e. access the stack below $esp, which causes SIGSEGV on a VM_GROWSDOWN vma (see arch/i386/mm/fault.c).

2005-11-07[PATCH] uml: maintain own LDT entriesBodo Stroesser
Patch imlements full LDT handling in SKAS: * UML holds it's own LDT table, used to deliver data on modify_ldt(READ) * UML disables the default_ldt, inherited from the host (SKAS3) or resets LDT entries, set by host's clib and inherited in SKAS0 * A new global variable skas_needs_stub is inserted, that can be used to decide, whether stub-pages must be supported or not. * Uses the syscall-stub to replace missing PTRACE_LDT (therefore, write_ldt_entry needs to be modified) Signed-off-by: Bodo Stroesser <bstroesser@fujitsu-siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com> Cc: Paolo Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
