2012-06-01um: Implement a custom pte_same() functionRichard Weinberger1-0/+6
commit f15b9000eb1d09bbaa4b0a6b2089d7e1f64e84b3 upstream. UML uses the _PAGE_NEWPAGE flag to mark pages which are not jet installed on the host side using mmap(). pte_same() has to ignore this flag, otherwise unuse_pte_range() is unable to unuse the page because two identical page tables entries with different _PAGE_NEWPAGE flags would not match and swapoff() would never return.

2012-06-01um: Fix __swp_type()Richard Weinberger1-2/+2
commit 2b76ebaa728f8a3967c52aa189261c72fe56a6f1 upstream. The current __swp_type() function uses a too small bitshift. Using more than one swap files causes bad pages because the type bits clash with other page flags.

2011-11-11um: fix ubd cow sizeRichard Weinberger1-1/+30
commit 8535639810e578960233ad39def3ac2157b0c3ec upstream. ubd_file_size() cannot use ubd_dev->cow.file because at this time ubd_dev->cow.file is not initialized. Therefore, ubd_file_size() will always report a wrong disk size when COW files are used. Reading from /dev/ubd* would crash the kernel. We have to read the correct disk size from the COW file's backing file. Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2011-05-25lib: consolidate DEBUG_STACK_USAGE optionStephen Boyd1-10/+0
Most arches define CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE exactly the same way. Move it to lib/Kconfig.debug so each arch doesn't have to define it. This obviously makes the option generic, but that's fine because the config is already used in generic code. It's not obvious to me that sysrq-P actually does anything caution by keeping the most inclusive wording.

2011-05-18um: fix abortRichard Weinberger1-1/+22
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.

2011-03-24percpu: Always align percpu output section to PAGE_SIZETejun Heo1-1/+1
Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel addresses should be aligned accordingly. The calculation of the former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel image. The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter. Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking percpu memory alignment. This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE. While at it, add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching there. For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area. As the area is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference. This problem was discovered by David Howells while debugging boot failure on mn10300.

2011-03-23uml: kernels on {i386,x86_64} produce bad coredumpsPaul Pluzhnikov2-0/+4
One of our users reported that when a user-level program SIGSEGVs under UML kernel, the resulting core dump is not very usable. I have reproduced that with the latest kernel: make ARCH=um defconfig; make ARCH=um Run the resulting kernel, then "inside" run this program: #include <pthread.h> void *fn(void *p) { abort(); } int main() { pthread_t tid; pthread_create(&tid, 0, fn, 0); pthread_join(tid, 0); return 0; } Analyze the coredump with GDB. Here is what you'll see: sudo gdb -q -ex 'set solib-absolute-prefix ../root_fs' -ex 'file ../root_fs/var/tmp/mt-abort' -ex 'core ../root_fs/var/tmp/core.762' Reading symbols from /usr/local/google/root_fs/var/tmp/mt-abort...done.

This patch suite creates kthread_create_on_cpu(), adding a 'cpu' parameter to parameters already used by kthread_create(). This parameter serves in allocating memory for the new kthread on its memory node if available. Users of this new function are : ksoftirqd, kworker, migration, pktgend... This patch: Add a node parameter to alloc_task_struct(), and change its name to alloc_task_struct_node() This change is needed to allow NUMA aware kthread_create_on_cpu() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Acked-by: David S.

2011-03-14open-style analog of vfs_path_lookup()Al Viro1-19/+2
new function: file_open_root(dentry, mnt, name, flags) opens the file vfs_path_lookup would arrive to. Note that name can be empty; in that case the usual requirement that dentry should be a directory is lifted. open-coded equivalents switched to it, may_open() got down exactly one caller and became static.

arch/um/Kconfig.x86 has X86_32 but not X86_64 - that's resulting in asm/dwarf2.h producing the 32-bit (pushl_cfi & Co) macros instead of the 64-bit ones.
