2007-02-11[PATCH] uml: x86_64 ptrace fixesJeff Dike
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.

2006-03-27[PATCH] uml: more carefully test whether we are in a system callBodo Stroesser
For security reasons, UML in is_syscall() needs to have access to code in vsyscall-page. The current implementation grants this access by explicitly allowing access to vsyscall in access_ok_skas(). With this change, copy_from_user() may be used to read the code. Ptrace access to vsyscall-page for debugging already was implemented in get_user_pages() by mainline. In i386, copy_from_user can't access vsyscall-page, but returns EFAULT. To make UML behave as i386 does, I changed is_syscall to use access_process_vm(current) to read the code from vsyscall-page. This doesn't hurt security, but simplifies the code and prepares implementation of stub-vmas.

2005-05-20[PATCH] uml: small fixes left over from rc4Jeff Dike
Some changes that I sent in didn't make 2.6.12-rc4 for some reason. This adds them back. We have an x86_64 definition of TOP_ADDR a reimplementation of the x86_64 csum_partial_copy_from_user some syntax fixes in arch/um/kernel/ptrace.c removal of a CFLAGS definition in the x86_64 Makefile some include changes in the x86_64 ptrace.c and user-offsets.h a syntax fix in elf-x86_64.h Also moved an include in the i386 and x86_64 Makefiles to make the symlinks work, and some small fixes from Al Viro.

2005-05-06[PATCH] uml: S390 preparation, peekusr/pokeusr defined by subarchBodo Stroesser
s390 needs to change some parts of arch/um/kernel/ptrace.c. Thus, the code regarding PEEKUSER and POKEUSER are shifted to arch/um/sys-<subarch>/ptrace.c. Also s390 debug registers need to be updated, when singlestepping is switched on / off. Thus, setting/resetting of singlestepping is centralized in the new function set_singlestep(), which also inserts the macro SUBARCH_SET_SINGLESTEP(mode), if defined. Finally, s390 has the "ieee_instruction_pointer" in its registers, which also is allowed to be read via ptrace( PTRACE_PEEKUSER, getpid(), PT_IEEE_IP, 0); To implement this feature, sys_ptrace inserts the macro SUBARCH_PTRACE_SPECIAL, if defined.

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!
