2006-10-31[PATCH] uml ubd driver: convert do_ubd to a boolean variablePaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
do_ubd is actually just a boolean variable - the way it is used currently is a leftover from the old 2.4 block layer, but it is still used; its use is suspicious, but removing it would be too intrusive for now and needs more thinking.

2006-10-31[PATCH] uml ubd driver: ubd_io_lock usage fixupPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Add some comments about requirements for ubd_io_lock and expand its use. When an irq signals that the "controller" (i.e. another thread on the host, which does the actual requests and is the only one blocked on I/O on the host) has done some work, we call again the request function ourselves (do_ubd_request). We now do that with ubd_io_lock held - that's useful to protect against concurrent calls to elv_next_request and so on. XXX: Maybe we shouldn't call at all the request function. Input needed on this. Are we supposed to plug and unplug the queue? That code "indirectly" does that by setting a flag, called do_ubd, which makes the request function return (it's a residual of 2.4 block layer interface). Meanwhile, however, merge this patch, which improves things.

2006-10-31[PATCH] uml ubd driver: change ubd_lock to be a mutexPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
This lock protects ubd setup and teardown, so is only used in process context; beyond that, during such setup memory allocations must be performed and some generic functions which can sleep must be called (such as add_disk()). So the only correct solution is to make it a mutex instead of a spin_lock. No other change is done - this lock must be acquired in different places but it's done afterwards.

2006-10-31[PATCH] uml ubd driver: give better names to some functions.Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
To rethink locking, I needed to understand well what each function does. While doing this I renamed some: * ubd_close -> ubd_close_dev (since it pairs with ubd_open_dev) * ubd_new_disk -> ubd_disk_register (it handles registration with the block layer - one hopes this makes clearer the difference with ubd_add()) Signed-off-by: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it> Cc: Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-10-30[PATCH] Fix "Remove the use of _syscallX macros in UML"Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Fix commit 5f4c6bc1f369f20807a8e753c2308d1629478c61: it spits out warnings about missing syscall prototype (it is in <unistd.h>) and it does not recognize that two uses of _syscallX are to be resolved against kernel headers in the source tree, not against _syscallX; they in fact do not compile and would not work anyway. If _syscallX macros will be removed from the kernel tree altogether, the only reasonable solution for that piece of code is switching to open-coded inline assembly (it's remapping the whole executable from memory, except the page containing this code).

2006-10-24[PATCH] uml: mconsole fixesAl Viro
* when we have stop/sysrq/go, we get pt_regs of whatever executes mc_work_proc(). Would be better to see what we had at the time of interrupt that got us stop. * stop/stop/stop..... will give stack overflow. Shouldn't allow stop from mconsole_stop(). * stop/stop/go leaves us inside mconsole_stop() with os_set_fd_block(req->originating_fd, 0); reactivate_fd(req->originating_fd, MCONSOLE_IRQ); just done by nested mconsole_stop(). Ditto. * once we'd seen stop, there's a period when INTR commands are executed out of order (as they should; we might have the things stuck badly enough to never reach mconsole_stop(), but still not badly enough to block mconsole_interrupt(); in that situation we _want_ things like "cad" to be executed immediately). Once we enter monsole_stop(), all INTR commands will be executed in order, mixed with PROC ones. We'd better let user see that such change of behaviour has happened. (Suggested by lennert). * stack footprint of monsole_interrupt() is an atrocity; AFAICS we can safely make struct mc_request req; static in function there.

2006-10-20[PATCH] uml: mmapper - remove just added but wrong "const" attributePaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
When enabling the mmapper driver I got warnings because this "const" miscdevice structure is passed to function as non-const pointer; unlike struct tty_operations, however, I verified that misc_{de,}register _do_ modify their parameter, so this const attribute must be removed.

Freeing the stack is left uselessly to the caller of run_helper in some cases - this is taken from run_helper_thread, but here it is useless, so no caller needs it and the only place where this happens has a potential leak - in case of error neither run_helper() nor xterm_open() call free_stack(). At this point passing a pointer is not needed - the stack pointer should be passed directly, but this change is not done here.

2006-10-20[PATCH] uml: use DEFCONFIG_LIST to avoid reading host's configPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
This should make sure that, for UML, host's configuration files are not considered, which avoids various pains to the user. Our dependency are such that the obtained Kconfig will be valid and will lead to successful compilation - however they cannot prevent an user from disabling any boot device, and if an option is not set in the read .config (say /boot/config-XXX), with make menuconfig ARCH=um, it is not set. This always disables UBD and all console I/O channels, which leads to non-working UML kernels, so this bothers users - especially now, since it will happen on almost every machine (/boot/config-`uname -r` exists almost on every machine). It can be workarounded with make defconfig ARCH=um, but it is non-obvious and can be avoided, so please _do_ merge this patch. Given the existence of options, it could be interesting to implement (additionally) "option required" - with it, Kconfig will refuse reading a .config file (from wherever it comes) if the given option is not set. With this, one could mark with it the option characteristic of the given architecture (it was an old proposal of Roman Zippel, when I pointed out our problem): config UML option required default y However this should be further discussed: *) for x86, it must support constructs like: ==arch/i386/Kconfig== config 64BIT option required default n where Kconfig must require that CONFIG_64BIT is disabled or not present in the read .config. *) do we want to do such checks only for the starting defconfig or also for .config? Which leads to: *) I may want to port a x86_64 .config to x86 and viceversa, or even among more different archs. Should that be allowed, and in which measure (the user may force skipping the check for a .config or it is only given a warning by default)?

2006-10-02[PATCH] rename the provided execve functions to kernel_execveArnd Bergmann
Some architectures provide an execve function that does not set errno, but instead returns the result code directly. Rename these to kernel_execve to get the right semantics there. Moreover, there is no reasone for any of these architectures to still provide __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ or _syscallN macros, so remove these right away.

2006-10-02[PATCH] namespaces: utsname: use init_utsname when appropriateSerge E. Hallyn
In some places, particularly drivers and __init code, the init utsns is the appropriate one to use. This patch replaces those with a the init_utsname helper. Changes: Removed several uses of init_utsname(). Hope I picked all the right ones in net/ipv4/ipconfig.c.

2006-10-02[PATCH] namespaces: add nsproxySerge E. Hallyn
This patch adds a nsproxy structure to the task struct. Later patches will move the fs namespace pointer into this structure, and introduce a new utsname namespace into the nsproxy. The vserver and openvz functionality, then, would be implemented in large part by virtualizing/isolating more and more resources into namespaces, each contained in the nsproxy.

2006-10-02[PATCH] const struct tty_operationsJeff Dike
As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of structures in order to not have to document their locking. One of these structures was a struct tty_operations. In order to const it in UML without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to be fixed. This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const. In all cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations. As an extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra warnings. 53 drivers are affected. I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the last six months. serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.

2006-09-30[PATCH] Remove ->rq_status from struct requestJens Axboe
After Christophs SCSI change, the only usage left is RQ_ACTIVE and RQ_INACTIVE. The block layer sets RQ_INACTIVE right before freeing the request, so any check for RQ_INACTIVE in a driver is a bug and indicates use-after-free. So kill/clean the remaining users, straight forward.

2006-09-29[PATCH] simplify update_times (avoid jiffies/jiffies_64 aliasing problem)Atsushi Nemoto
Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390 timer interrupt handler with this change. Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update. Passing ticks get rid of this redundant calculation. Also there are another redundancy pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky. This cleanup make a barrier added by 5aee405c662ca644980c184774277fc6d0769a84 needless. So this patch removes it. As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies. (This patch does not really remove wall_jiffies. It would be another cleanup patch) Signed-off-by: Atsushi Nemoto <anemo@mba.ocn.ne.jp> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "Eric W.
