arch/idle: Change arch_cpu_idle() behavior: always exit with IRQs disabled Current arch_cpu_idle() is called with IRQs disabled, but will return with IRQs enabled. However, the very first thing the generic code does after calling arch_cpu_idle() is raw_local_irq_disable(). This means that architectures that can idle with IRQs disabled end up doing a pointless 'enable-disable' dance. Therefore, push this IRQ disabling into the idle function, meaning that those architectures can avoid the pointless IRQ state flipping.

fork: Generalize PF_IO_WORKER handling Add fn and fn_arg members into struct kernel_clone_args and test for them in copy_thread (instead of testing for PF_KTHREAD | PF_IO_WORKER). This allows any task that wants to be a user space task that only runs in kernel mode to use this functionality. The code on x86 is an exception and still retains a PF_KTHREAD test because x86 unlikely everything else handles kthreads slightly differently than user space tasks that start with a function. The functions that created tasks that start with a function have been updated to set ".fn" and ".fn_arg" instead of ".stack" and ".stack_size". These functions are fork_idle(), create_io_thread(), kernel_thread(), and user_mode_thread(). Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220506141512.516114-4-ebiederm@xmission.com Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

Revert "um: allocate a guard page to helper threads" This reverts commit ef4459a6da09 ("um: allocate a guard page to helper threads"), it's broken in multiple ways: 1) the free no longer matches the alloc; and 2) more importantly, the set_memory_ro() causes allocation of page tables for the normal memory that doesn't have any, and that later causes corruption and crashes (usually but not always in vfree()). We could fix the first bug and use vmalloc() to work around the second, but set_memory_ro() actually doesn't do anything either so I'll just revert that as well.

um: allocate a guard page to helper threads We've been running into stack overflows in helper threads corrupting memory (e.g. because somebody put printf() or os_info() there), so to avoid those causing hard-to-debug issues later on, allocate a guard page for helper thread stacks and mark it read-only. Unfortunately, the crash dump at that point is useless as the stack tracer will try to backtrace the *kernel* thread, not the helper thread, but at least we don't survive to a random issue caused by corruption.

um: Support suspend to RAM With all the previous bits in place, we can now also support suspend to RAM, in the sense that everything is suspended, not just most, including userspace, processes like in s2idle. Since um_idle_sleep() now waits forever, we can simply call that to "suspend" the system. As before, you can wake it up using SIGUSR1 since we're just in a pause() call that only needs to return. In order to implement selective resume from certain devices, and not have any arbitrary device interrupt wake up, suspend interrupts by removing SIGIO notification (O_ASYNC) from all the FDs that are not supposed to wake up the system. However, swap out the handler so we don't actually handle the SIGIO as an interrupt. Since we're in pause(), the mere act of receiving SIGIO wakes us up, and then after things have been restored enough, re-set O_ASYNC for all previously suspended FDs, reinstall the proper SIGIO handler, and send SIGIO to self to process anything that might now be pending.

um: Simplify os_idle_sleep() and sleep longer There really is no reason to pass the amount of time we should sleep, especially since it's just hard-coded to one second. Additionally, one second isn't really all that long, and as we are expecting to be woken up by a signal, we can sleep longer and avoid doing some work every second, so replace the current clock_nanosleep() with just an empty select() that can _only_ be woken up by a signal. We can also remove the deliver_alarm() since we don't need to do that when we got e.g. SIGIO that woke us up, and if we got SIGALRM the signal handler will actually (have) run, so it's just unnecessary extra work. Similarly, in time-travel mode, just program the wakeup event from idle to be S64_MAX, which is basically the most you could ever simulate to. Of course, you should already have an event in the list that's earlier and will cause a wakeup, normally that's the regular timer interrupt, though in suspend it may (later) also be an RTC event. Since actually getting to this point would be a bug and you can't ever get out again, panic() on it in the time control code.

mm: don't include asm/pgtable.h if linux/mm.h is already included Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2. The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once. For instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported architectures. Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils down to, e.g. static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address) { return (address >> PMD_SHIFT) & (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1); } static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address) { return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address); } These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined. For architectures that really need a custom version there is always possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic. These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table accessors to the new header. This patch (of 12): The linux/mm.h header includes <asm/pgtable.h> to allow inlining of the functions involving page table manipulations, e.g. pte_alloc() and pmd_alloc(). So, there is no point to explicitly include <asm/pgtable.h> in the files that include <linux/mm.h>.

um: time-travel: Rewrite as an event scheduler Instead of tracking all the various timer configurations, modify the time-travel mode to have an event scheduler and use a timer event on the scheduler to handle the different timer configurations. This doesn't change the function right now, but it prepares the code for having different kinds of events in the future (i.e. interrupts coming from other devices that are part of co-simulation.) While at it, also move time_travel_sleep() to time.c to reduce the externally visible API surface. Also, we really should mark time-travel as incompatible with SMP, even if UML doesn't support SMP yet. Finally, I noticed a bug while developing this - if we move time forward due to consuming time while reading the clock, we might move across the next event and that would cause us to go backward in time when we then handle that event. Fix that by invoking the whole event machine in this case, but in order to simplify this, make reading the clock only cost something when interrupts are not disabled. Otherwise, we'd have to hook into the interrupt delivery machinery etc. and that's somewhat intrusive.

um: time-travel: Restrict time update in IRQ handler We currently do the time updates in the timer handler, even if we just call the timer handler ourselves. In basic mode we must in fact do it there since otherwise the OS timer signal won't move time forward, but in inf-cpu mode we don't need to, and it's harder to understand. Restrict the update there to basic mode, adding a comment, and do it before calling the timer_handler() in inf-cpu mode.

um: time-travel: Fix periodic timers Periodic timers are broken, because the also only fire once. As it happens, Linux doesn't care because it only sets the timer to periodic very briefly during boot, and then switches it only between one-shot and off later. Nevertheless, fix the logic (we shouldn't even be looking at time_travel_timer_expiry unless the timer is enabled) and change the code to fire the timer periodically in periodic mode, in case it ever gets used in the future.

um: Support time travel mode Sometimes it can be useful to run with "time travel" inside the UML instance, for example for testing. For example, some tests for the wireless subsystem and userspace are based on hwsim, a virtual wireless adapter. Some tests can take a long time to run because they e.g. wait for 120 seconds to elapse for some regulatory checks. This obviously goes faster if it need not actually wait that long, but time inside the test environment just "bumps up" when there's nothing to do. Add CONFIG_UML_TIME_TRAVEL_SUPPORT to enable code to support such modes at runtime, selected on the command line: * just "time-travel", in which time inside the UML instance can move faster than real time, if there's nothing to do * "time-travel=inf-cpu" in which time also moves slower and any CPU processing takes no time at all, which allows to implement consistent behaviour regardless of host CPU load (or speed) or debug overhead. An additional "time-travel-start=<seconds>" parameter is also supported in this case to start the wall clock at this time (in unix epoch). With this enabled, the test mentioned above goes from a runtime of about 140 seconds (with startup overhead and all) to being CPU bound and finishing in 15 seconds (on my slow laptop).

um: add extended processor state save/restore support This patch extends save_fp_registers() and restore_fp_registers() to use PTRACE_GETREGSET and PTRACE_SETREGSET with the XSTATE note type, adding support for new processor state extensions between context switches. When the new ptrace requests are unavailable, it falls back to the old PTRACE_GETFPREGS and PTRACE_SETFPREGS methods, which have been renamed to save_i387_registers() and restore_i387_registers(). Now these functions expect *fp_regs to have the space of an _xstate struct. Thus, this also makes ptrace in UML responde to PTRACE_GETFPREGS/_SETFPREG requests with a user_i387_struct (thus independent from HOST_FP_SIZE), and by calling save_i387_registers() and restore_i387_registers() instead of the extended save_fp_registers() and restore_fp_registers() functions.

um: Switch clocksource to hrtimers UML is using an obsolete itimer call for all timers and "polls" for kernel space timer firing in its userspace portion resulting in a long list of bugs and incorrect behaviour(s). It also uses ITIMER_VIRTUAL for its timer which results in the timer being dependent on it running and the cpu load. This patch fixes this by moving to posix high resolution timers firing off CLOCK_MONOTONIC and relaying the timer correctly to the UML userspace. Fixes: - crashes when hosts suspends/resumes - broken userspace timers - effecive ~40Hz instead of what they should be. Note - this modifies skas behavior by no longer setting an itimer per clone(). Timer events are relayed instead. - kernel network packet scheduling disciplines - tcp behaviour especially under load - various timer related corner cases Finally, overall responsiveness of userspace is better.

nohz: Remove tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() / tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu() Those two APIs were provided to optimize the calls of tick_nohz_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_enter() into a single irq disabled section. This way no interrupt happening in-between would needlessly process any RCU job. Now we are talking about an optimization for which benefits have yet to be measured.

nohz: Allow rcu extended quiescent state handling seperately from tick stop It is assumed that rcu won't be used once we switch to tickless mode and until we restart the tick. However this is not always true, as in x86-64 where we dereference the idle notifiers after the tick is stopped. To prepare for fixing this, add two new APIs: tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() and tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu(). If no use of RCU is made in the idle loop between tick_nohz_enter_idle() and tick_nohz_exit_idle() calls, the arch must instead call the new *_norcu() version such that the arch doesn't need to call rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit(). Otherwise the arch must call tick_nohz_enter_idle() and tick_nohz_exit_idle() and also call explicitly: - rcu_idle_enter() after its last use of RCU before the CPU is put to sleep. - rcu_idle_exit() before the first use of RCU after the CPU is woken up.

nohz: Separate out irq exit and idle loop dyntick logic The tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() function, which tries to delay the next timer tick as long as possible, can be called from two places: - From the idle loop to start the dytick idle mode - From interrupt exit if we have interrupted the dyntick idle mode, so that we reprogram the next tick event in case the irq changed some internal state that requires this action. There are only few minor differences between both that are handled by that function, driven by the ts->inidle cpu variable and the inidle parameter. The whole guarantees that we only update the dyntick mode on irq exit if we actually interrupted the dyntick idle mode, and that we enter in RCU extended quiescent state from idle loop entry only. Split this function into: - tick_nohz_idle_enter(), which sets ts->inidle to 1, enters dynticks idle mode unconditionally if it can, and enters into RCU extended quiescent state. - tick_nohz_irq_exit() which only updates the dynticks idle mode when ts->inidle is set (ie: if tick_nohz_idle_enter() has been called). To maintain symmetry, tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick() has been renamed into tick_nohz_idle_exit(). This simplifies the code and micro-optimize the irq exit path (no need for local_irq_save there). This also prepares for the split between dynticks and rcu extended quiescent state logics. We'll need this split to further fix illegal uses of RCU in extended quiescent states in the idle loop.

um: Save FPU registers between task switches Some time ago Jeff prepared 42daba316557 ("uml: stop saving process FP state") for UML to stop saving the process FP state between task switches. The assumption was that since with SKAS0 every guest process runs inside a host process context the host OS will take care of keeping the proper FP state. Unfortunately this is not true for multi-threaded applications, where all guest threads share a single host process context yet all may use the FPU on their own. Although I haven't verified it I suspect things to be even worse in SKAS3 mode where all guest processes run inside a single host process. The patch reintroduces the saving and restoring of the FP context between task switches. [richard@nod.at: Ingo posted this patch in 2009, sadly it was never applied and got lost. Now in 2011 the problem was reported by Gunnar.] Signed-off-by: Ingo van Lil <inguin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at> Reported-by: <gunnarlindroth@hotmail.com> Tested-by: <gunnarlindroth@hotmail.com> Cc: Stanislav Meduna <stano@meduna.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

nohz: prevent tick stop outside of the idle loop Jack Ren and Eric Miao tracked down the following long standing problem in the NOHZ code: scheduler switch to idle task enable interrupts Window starts here ----> interrupt happens (does not set NEED_RESCHED) irq_exit() stops the tick ----> interrupt happens (does set NEED_RESCHED) return from schedule() cpu_idle(): preempt_disable(); Window ends here The interrupts can happen at any point inside the race window. The first interrupt stops the tick, the second one causes the scheduler to rerun and switch away from idle again and we end up with the tick disabled. The fact that it needs two interrupts where the first one does not set NEED_RESCHED and the second one does made the bug obscure and extremly hard to reproduce and analyse. Kudos to Jack and Eric. Solution: Limit the NOHZ functionality to the idle loop to make sure that we can not run into such a situation ever again. cpu_idle() { preempt_disable(); while(1) { tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(1); <- tell NOHZ code that we are in the idle loop while (!need_resched()) halt(); tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(); <- disables NOHZ mode preempt_enable_no_resched(); schedule(); preempt_disable(); } } In hindsight we should have done this forever, but ... /me grabs a large brown paperbag.

aout: suppress A.OUT library support if !CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT Suppress A.OUT library support if CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT is not set. Not all architectures support the A.OUT binfmt, so the ELF binfmt should not be permitted to go looking for A.OUT libraries to load in such a case. Not only that, but under such conditions A.OUT core dumps are not produced either. To make this work, this patch also does the following: (1) Makes the existence of the contents of linux/a.out.h contingent on CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT. (2) Renames dump_thread() to aout_dump_thread() as it's only called by A.OUT core dumping code. (3) Moves aout_dump_thread() into asm/a.out-core.h and makes it inline. This is then included only where needed. This means that this bit of arch code will be stored in the appropriate A.OUT binfmt module rather than the core kernel. (4) Drops A.OUT support for Blackfin (according to Mike Frysinger it's not needed) and FRV. This patch depends on the previous patch to move STACK_TOP[_MAX] out of asm/a.out.h and into asm/processor.h as they're required whether or not A.OUT format is available.

uml: header untangling Untangle UML headers somewhat and add some includes where they were needed explicitly, but gotten accidentally via some other header. arch/um/include/um_uaccess.h loses asm/fixmap.h because it uses no fixmap stuff and gains elf.h, because it needs FIXADDR_USER_*, and archsetjmp.h, because it needs jmp_buf. pmd_alloc_one is uninlined because it needs mm_struct, and that's inconvenient to provide in asm-um/pgtable-3level.h. elf_core_copy_fpregs is also uninlined from elf-i386.h and elf-x86_64.h, which duplicated the code anyway, to arch/um/kernel/process.c, so that the reference to current_thread doesn't pull sched.h or anything related into asm/elf.h. arch/um/sys-i386/ldt.c, arch/um/kernel/tlb.c and arch/um/kernel/skas/uaccess.c got sched.h because they dereference task_structs. Its includes of linux and asm headers got turned from "" to <>. arch/um/sys-i386/bug.c gets asm/errno.h because it needs errno constants. asm/elf-i386 gets asm/user.h because it needs user_regs_struct. asm/fixmap.h gets page.h because it needs PAGE_SIZE and PAGE_MASK and system.h for BUG_ON. asm/pgtable doesn't need sched.h. asm/processor-generic.h defined mm_segment_t, but didn't use it. So, that definition is moved to uaccess.h, which defines a bunch of mm_segment_t-related stuff. thread_info.h uses mm_segment_t, and includes uaccess.h, which causes a recursion. So, the definition is placed above the include of thread_info. in uaccess.h. thread_info.h also gets page.h because it needs PAGE_SIZE.

Patch 1 - code movement Patch 2 - header untangling Patch 3 - style fixups in files affected so far Patch 4 - clean up use of current.h Patch 5 - fix sizes of types that are different between 2 and 3-level page tables - three-level page table support should build at this point Patch 6 - tidy (i.e. eliminate much of) the code that figures out how big the address space is Patch 7 - change um_virt_to_phys into virt_to_pte, clean its interface, and clean its (so far) one caller Patch 8 - the stub pages are covered with a VMA, allowing some nasty code to be thrown out - three-level page tables now work This patch: um_virt_to_phys only has one user, so it can be moved to the same file and made static.

Any use of ITIMER_REAL now goes away. disable_timer only turns off ITIMER_VIRTUAL. switch_timers is no longer needed, so it, and all calls, goes away. disable_timer now returns the amount of time remaining on the timer. default_idle uses this to tell idle_sleep how long to sleep. idle_sleep will call alarm_handler if nanosleep returns 0, which is the case if it didn't return early due to an interrupt.

uml: fix timer switching Fix up the switching between virtual and real timers. The idle loop sleeps, so the timer at that point must be real time. At all other times, the timer must be virtual. Even when userspace is running, and the kernel is asleep, the virtual timer is correct because the process timer will be running and the process timer will be firing. The timer switch used to be in the context switch and timer handler code. This is moved to the idle loop and the signal handler, making it much more clear why it is happening. switch_timers now returns the old timer type so that it may be restored. The signal handler uses this in order to restore the previous timer type when it returns.

There were lots of functions that looked like int foo(args){ foo_skas(args); } The bodies of foo_skas are now folded into foo, and their declarations (and sometimes entire header files) are deleted. In addition, the union uml_pt_regs, which was a union between the tt and skas register formats, is now a struct, with the tt-mode arm of the union being removed.

uml: throw out CONFIG_MODE_TT This patchset throws out tt mode, which has been non-functional for a while. This is done in phases, interspersed with code cleanups on the affected files. The removal is done as follows: remove all code, config options, and files which depend on CONFIG_MODE_TT get rid of the CHOOSE_MODE macro, which decided whether to call tt-mode or skas-mode code, and replace invocations with their skas portions replace all now-trivial procedures with their skas equivalents There are now a bunch of now-redundant pieces of data structures, including mode-specific pieces of the thread structure, pt_regs, and mm_context. These are all replaced with their skas-specific contents. As part of the ongoing style compliance project, I made a style pass over all files that were changed. There are three such patches, one for each phase, covering the files affected by that phase but no later ones. I noticed that we weren't freeing the LDT state associated with a process when it exited, so that's fixed in one of the later patches. The last patch is a tidying patch which I've had for a while, but which caused inexplicable crashes under tt mode. Since that is no longer a problem, this can now go in. This patch: Start getting rid of tt mode support. This patch throws out CONFIG_MODE_TT and all config options, code, and files which depend on it. CONFIG_MODE_SKAS is gone and everything that depends on it is included unconditionally. The few changed lines are in re-written Kconfig help, lines which needed something skas-related removed from them, and a few more which weren't strictly deletions.

uml: Eliminate kernel allocator wrappers UML had two wrapper procedures for kmalloc, um_kmalloc and um_kmalloc_atomic because the flag constants weren't available in userspace code. kern_constants.h had made kernel constants available for a long time, so there is no need for these wrappers any more. Rather, userspace code calls kmalloc directly with the userspace versions of the gfp flags. kmalloc isn't a real procedure, so I had to essentially copy the inline wrapper around __kmalloc. vmalloc also had its own wrapper for no good reason. This is now gone.

[PATCH] uml: fix TT mode by reverting "use fork instead of clone" With Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it> Revert the following patch, because of miscompilation problems in different environments leading to UML not working *at all* in TT mode; it was merged lately in 2.6 development cycle, a little after being written, and has caused problems to lots of people; I know it's a bit too long, but it shouldn't have been merged in first place, so I still apply for inclusion in the -stable tree. Anyone using this feature currently is either using some older kernel (some reports even used 2.6.12-rc4-mm2) or using this patch, as included in my -bs patchset. For now there's not yet a fix for this patch, so for now the best thing is to drop it (which was widely reported to give a working kernel, and as such was even merged in -stable tree). "Convert the boot-time host ptrace testing from clone to fork. They were essentially doing fork anyway. This cleans up the code a bit, and makes valgrind a bit happier about grinding it."

[PATCH] uml: skas0 - separate kernel address space on stock hosts UML has had two modes of operation - an insecure, slow mode (tt mode) in which the kernel is mapped into every process address space which requires no host kernel modifications, and a secure, faster mode (skas mode) in which the UML kernel is in a separate host address space, which requires a patch to the host kernel. This patch implements something very close to skas mode for hosts which don't support skas - I'm calling this skas0. It provides the security of the skas host patch, and some of the performance gains. The two main things that are provided by the skas patch, /proc/mm and PTRACE_FAULTINFO, are implemented in a way that require no host patch. For the remote address space changing stuff (mmap, munmap, and mprotect), we set aside two pages in the process above its stack, one of which contains a little bit of code which can call mmap et al. To update the address space, the system call information (system call number and arguments) are written to the stub page above the code. The %esp is set to the beginning of the data, the %eip is set the the start of the stub, and it repeatedly pops the information into its registers and makes the system call until it sees a system call number of zero. This is to amortize the cost of the context switch across multiple address space updates. When the updates are done, it SIGSTOPs itself, and the kernel process continues what it was doing. For a PTRACE_FAULTINFO replacement, we set up a SIGSEGV handler in the child, and let it handle segfaults rather than nullifying them. The handler is in the same page as the mmap stub. The second page is used as the stack. The handler reads cr2 and err from the sigcontext, sticks them at the base of the stack in a faultinfo struct, and SIGSTOPs itself. The kernel then reads the faultinfo and handles the fault. A complication on x86_64 is that this involves resetting the registers to the segfault values when the process is inside the kill system call. This breaks on x86_64 because %rcx will contain %rip because you tell SYSRET where to return to by putting the value in %rcx. So, this corrupts $rcx on return from the segfault. To work around this, I added an arch_finish_segv, which on x86 does nothing, but which on x86_64 ptraces the child back through the sigreturn. This causes %rcx to be restored by sigreturn and avoids the corruption. Ultimately, I think I will replace this with the trick of having it send itself a blocked signal which will be unblocked by the sigreturn. This will allow it to be stopped just after the sigreturn, and PTRACE_SYSCALLed without all the back-and-forth of PTRACE_SYSCALLing it through sigreturn. This runs on a stock host, so theoretically (and hopefully), tt mode isn't needed any more. We need to make sure that this is better in every way than tt mode, though. I'm concerned about the speed of address space updates and page fault handling, since they involve extra round-trips to the child. We can amortize the round-trip cost for large address space updates by writing all of the operations to the data page and having the child execute them all at the same time. This will help fork and exec, but not page faults, since they involve only one page. I can't think of any way to help page faults, except to add something like PTRACE_FAULTINFO to the host. There is PTRACE_SIGINFO, but UML doesn't use siginfo for SIGSEGV (or anything else) because there isn't enough information in the siginfo struct to handle page faults (the faulting operation type is missing). Adding that would make PTRACE_SIGINFO a usable equivalent to PTRACE_FAULTINFO. As for the code itself: - The system call stub is in arch/um/kernel/sys-$(SUBARCH)/stub.S. It is put in its own section of the binary along with stub_segv_handler in arch/um/kernel/skas/process.c. This is manipulated with run_syscall_stub in arch/um/kernel/skas/mem_user.c. syscall_stub will execute any system call at all, but it's only used for mmap, munmap, and mprotect. - The x86_64 stub calls sigreturn by hand rather than allowing the normal sigreturn to happen, because the normal sigreturn is a SA_RESTORER in UML's address space provided by libc. Needless to say, this is not available in the child's address space. Also, it does a couple of odd pops before that which restore the stack to the state it was in at the time the signal handler was called. - There is a new field in the arch mmu_context, which is now a union. This is the pid to be manipulated rather than the /proc/mm file descriptor. Code which deals with this now checks proc_mm to see whether it should use the usual skas code or the new code. - userspace_tramp is now used to create a new host process for every UML process, rather than one per UML processor. It checks proc_mm and ptrace_faultinfo to decide whether to map in the pages above its stack. - start_userspace now makes CLONE_VM conditional on proc_mm since we need separate address spaces now. - switch_mm_skas now just sets userspace_pid[0] to the new pid rather than PTRACE_SWITCH_MM. There is an addition to userspace which updates its idea of the pid being manipulated each time around the loop. This is important on exec, when the pid will change underneath userspace(). - The stub page has a pte, but it can't be mapped in using tlb_flush because it is part of tlb_flush. This is why it's required for it to be mapped in by userspace_tramp. Other random things: - The stub section in uml.lds.S is page aligned. This page is written out to the backing vm file in setup_physmem because it is mapped from there into user processes. - There's some confusion with TASK_SIZE now that there are a couple of extra pages that the process can't use. TASK_SIZE is considered by the elf code to be the usable process memory, which is reasonable, so it is decreased by two pages. This confuses the definition of USER_PGDS_IN_LAST_PML4, making it too small because of the rounding down of the uneven division. So we round it to the nearest PGDIR_SIZE rather than the lower one. - I added a missing PT_SYSCALL_ARG6_OFFSET macro. - um_mmu.h was made into a userspace-usable file. - proc_mm and ptrace_faultinfo are globals which say whether the host supports these features. - There is a bad interaction between the mm.nr_ptes check at the end of exit_mmap, stack randomization, and skas0. exit_mmap will stop freeing pages at the PGDIR_SIZE boundary after the last vma. If the stack isn't on the last page table page, the last pte page won't be freed, as it should be since the stub ptes are there, and exit_mmap will BUG because there is an unfreed page. To get around this, TASK_SIZE is set to the next lowest PGDIR_SIZE boundary and mm->nr_ptes is decremented after the calls to init_stub_pte. This ensures that we know the process stack (and all other process mappings) will be below the top page table page, and thus we know that mm->nr_ptes will be one too many, and can be decremented. Things that need fixing: - We may need better assurrences that the stub code is PIC. - The stub pte is set up in init_new_context_skas. - alloc_pgdir is probably the right place.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 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!
