um: Remove unused ipi_pipe field from cpuinfo_um

2025-09-10T12:23:58+00:00

It's no longer used after the removal of the SMP implementation in TT mode by commit 28fa468f5316 ("um: Remove broken SMP support"). While at it, remove the outdated comment. Signed-off-by: Tiwei Bie Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

um: Remove unused cpu_data and current_cpu_data macros

2025-09-10T12:23:55+00:00

These two macros have no users. Remove them. Signed-off-by: Tiwei Bie Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

um: mark rodata read-only and implement _nofault accesses

2025-03-18T10:03:14+00:00

Mark read-only data actually read-only (simple mprotect), and to be able to test it also implement _nofault accesses. This works by setting up a new "segv_continue" pointer in current, and then when we hit a segfault we change the signal return context so that we continue at that address. The code using this sets it up so that it jumps to a label and then aborts the access that way, returning -EFAULT. It's possible to optimize the ___backtrack_faulted() thing by using asm goto (compiler version dependent) and/or gcc's (not sure if clang has it) &&label extension, but at least in one attempt I made the && caused the compiler to not load -EFAULT into the register in case of jumping to the &&label from the fault handler. So leave it like this for now.

um: switch to regset API and depend on XSTATE

2024-10-23T10:13:16+00:00

The PTRACE_GETREGSET API has now existed since Linux 2.6.33. The XSAVE CPU feature should also be sufficiently common to be able to rely on it. With this, define our internal FP state to be the hosts XSAVE data. Add discovery for the hosts XSAVE size and place the FP registers at the end of task_struct so that we can adjust the size at runtime. Next we can implement the regset API on top and update the signal handling as well as ptrace APIs to use them. Also switch coredump creation to use the regset API and finally set HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK. This considerably improves the signal frames. Previously they might not have contained all the registers (i386) and also did not have the sizes and magic values set to the correct values to permit userspace to decode the frame. As a side effect, this will permit UML to run on hosts with newer CPU extensions (such as AMX) that need even more register state.

um: remove fault_catcher infrastructure

2024-10-23T07:52:46+00:00

This was perhaps intended to do _nofault copies, but the real reason is lost to history. Remove this, it's not needed, and using longjmp() out of the middle of the signal handler with all the state it has modified is not going to be a good idea anyway.

um: Remove unused fields from thread_struct

These fields are no longer used since the removal of tt mode. Signed-off-by: Tiwei Bie Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

um: Fix the -Wmissing-prototypes warning for get_thread_reg

2024-04-30T12:15:17+00:00

The get_thread_reg function is defined in the user code, and is called by the kernel code. It should be declared in a shared header. Fixes: dbba7f704aa0 ("um: stop polluting the namespace with registers.h contents") Signed-off-by: Tiwei Bie Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

um: Drop support for hosts without SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP support

2024-01-04T22:29:11+00:00

These features have existed since Linux 2.6.14 and can be considered widely available at this point. Also drop the backward compatibility code for PTRACE_SETOPTIONS. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Berg ---- v2: * Continue to define PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP as glibc only added it in version 2.27. Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

um: Make the definition of cpu_data more compatible

2023-02-10T20:36:58+00:00

Match the x86 implementation to improve build errors.

kernel: exit: cleanup release_thread()

Only x86 has own release_thread(), introduce a new weak release_thread() function to clean empty definitions in other ARCHs.
