um: fix crash while os_dump_core()

2011-05-25T15:39:42Z

os_dump_core() emits SIGTERM to terminate all UML processes. Kernel threads have to exit on SIGTERM instead of calling last_ditch_exit(). Multiple calls to last_ditch_exit() can cause a crash. Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

um: add earlyprintk support

2011-05-25T15:39:41Z

User Mode Linux can also benefit from earlyprintk. UML's earlyprintk writes kernel messages directly to stdout. Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

um: remove SIGHUP handler

2011-05-25T15:39:40Z

The UML kernel ignores SIGHUP anyway. This handler is in vain. Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

um: fix UML_LIB_PATH

2011-05-25T15:39:40Z

UML_LIB_PATH is hardcoded to /usr/lib/uml/, on 64bit systems UML_LIB_PATH needs to be /usr/lib64/uml/. Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

um: fix abort

2011-05-18T09:55:23Z

os_dump_core() uses abort() to terminate UML in case of an fatal error. glibc's abort() calls raise(SIGABRT) which makes use of tgkill(). tgkill() has no effect within UML's kernel threads because they are not pthreads. As fallback abort() executes an invalid instruction to terminate the process. Therefore UML gets killed by SIGSEGV and leaves a ugly log entry in the host's kernel ring buffer. To get rid of this we use our own abort routine. Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

um: fix global timer issue when using CONFIG_NO_HZ

2010-10-26T23:52:03Z

This fixes a issue which was introduced by fe2cc53e ("uml: track and make up lost ticks"). timeval_to_ns() returns long long and not int. Due to that UML's timer did not work properlt and caused timer freezes.

Deal with missing exports for hostfs

um: os-linux/mem.c needs sys/stat.h

2010-06-29T22:29:32Z

The os-linux/mem.c file calls fchmod function, which is declared in sys/stat.h header file, so include it. Fixes build breakage under FC13. Signed-off-by: Liu Aleaxander Acked-by: Boaz Harrosh Cc: Jeff Dike Cc: Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

uml: Fix build breakage after slab.h changes

2010-04-19T08:46:23Z

We now have to to include linux/slab.h explicitly for kmalloc & friends. Files that build against host headers already get their prototypes via um_malloc.h, linux/slab.h may even be unavailable. Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32Z

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.
