* [PATCH] uml: x86_64 ptrace fixesJeff Dike2007-02-111-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [PATCH] uml: return hotplug errors to hostJeff Dike2007-02-112-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed that errors happening while hotplugging devices from the host were never returned back to the mconsole client. In some cases, success was returned instead of even an information-free error. This patch cleans that up by having the low-level configuration code pass back an error string along with an error code. At the top level, which knows whether it is early boot time or responding to an mconsole request, the string is printk'd or returned to the mconsole client. There are also whitespace and trivial code cleanups in the surrounding code.

* [PATCH] tty: ->signal->tty lockingPeter Zijlstra2006-12-081-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the locking of signal->tty. Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used by most other members of ->signal/->sighand. And unless we are 'current' or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway. (NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules) Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid. Otherwise the lifetime of ttys are governed by their open file handles. This leaves some holes for tty access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access). It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing. (NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info invocations) [schwidefsky@de.ibm.com: 3270 fix] [akpm@osdl.org: various post-viro fixes] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Cc: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Cc: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Cc: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Cc: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Cc: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> Cc: "David S.

However, due to a bug in pte_mkread, it does the exact same thing as pte_mkwrite, so this patch improves the code but does not change anything in practice. The pte_mkread bug is fixed separately, as it may have big impact.

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.

* [PATCH] pidspace: is_init()Sukadev Bhattiprolu2006-09-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch. (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280). It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init(). Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other patches for now. Eric's original description: There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init because we give it special properties. Most significantly init must not die. This results in code all over the kernel test ->pid == 1. Introduce is_init to capture this case. With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are looking for only the first process on the system, not some other process that has pid == 1. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* [PATCH] uml: thread creation tidyingJeff Dike2006-09-271-23/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fork on UML has always somewhat subtle. The underlying cause has been the need to initialize a stack for the new process. The only portable way to initialize a new stack is to set it as the alternate signal stack and take a signal. The signal handler does whatever initialization is needed and jumps back to the original stack, where the fork processing is finished. The basic context switching mechanism is a jmp_buf for each process. You switch to a new process by longjmping to its jmp_buf. Now that UML has its own implementation of setjmp and longjmp, and I can poke around inside a jmp_buf without fear that libc will change the structure, a much simpler mechanism is possible. The jmpbuf can simply be initialized by hand. This eliminates - the need to set up and remove the alternate signal stack sending and handling a signal the signal blocking needed around the stack switching, since there is no stack switching setting up the jmp_buf needed to jump back to the original stack after the new one is set up In addition, since jmp_buf is now defined by UML, and not by libc, it can be embedded in the thread struct. This makes it unnecessary to have it exist on the stack, where it used to be. It also simplifies interfaces, since the switch jmp_buf used to be a void * inside the thread struct, and functions which took it as an argument needed to define a jmp_buf variable and assign it from the void *.
