2008-02-05uml: kill processes instead of panicing kernelJeff Dike
UML was panicing in the case of failures of libc calls which shouldn't happen. This is an overreaction since a failure from libc doesn't normally mean that kernel data structures are in an unknown state. Instead, the current process should just be killed if there is no way to recover. The case that prompted this was a failure of PTRACE_SETREGS restoring the same state that was read by PTRACE_GETREGS. It appears that when a process tries to load a bogus value into a segment register, it segfaults (as expected) and the value is actually loaded and is seen by PTRACE_GETREGS (not expected). This case is fixed by forcing a fatal SIGSEGV on the process so that it immediately dies. fatal_sigsegv was added for this purpose. It was declared as noreturn, so in order to pursuade gcc that it actually does not return, I added a call to os_dump_core (and declared it noreturn) so that I get a core file if somehow the process survives. All other calls in arch/um/os-Linux/skas/process.c got the same treatment, with failures causing the process to die instead of a kernel panic, with some exceptions. userspace_tramp exits with status 1 if anything goes wrong there. That will cause start_userspace to return an error. copy_context_skas0 and map_stub_pages also now return errors instead of panicing. Callers of thes functions were changed to check for errors and do something appropriate. Usually that's to return an error to their callers. check_skas3_ptrace_faultinfo just exits since that's too early to do anything else. save_registers, restore_registers, and init_registers now return status instead of panicing on failure, with their callers doing something appropriate. There were also duplicate declarations of save_registers and restore_registers in os.h - these are gone. I noticed and fixed up some whitespace damage.

2008-02-05uml: use ptrace directly in libc codeJeff Dike
Some register accessor cleanups - userspace() was calling restore_registers and save_registers for no reason, since userspace() is on the libc side of the house, and these add no value over calling ptrace directly init_thread_registers and get_safe_registers were the same thing, so init_thread_registers is gone Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike <jdike@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2007-10-16uml: floating point signal delivery fixesJeff Dike
Handle floating point state in across signals correctly. UML/i386 needs to know whether the host does PTRACE_[GS]ETFPXREGS, so an arch_init_registers hook is added, which on x86_64 does nothing. UML doesn't save and restore floating point registers on kernel entry and exit, so they need to be copied between the host process and the sigcontext. save_fpx_registers and restore_fpx_registers are added for this purpose. save_fp_registers and restore_fp_registers already exist. There was a bunch of floating point state conversion code in arch/um/sys-i386/ptrace.c which isn't needed there, but is needed in signal.c, so it is moved over. The i386 code now distinguishes between fp and fpx state and handles them correctly. The x86_64 code just needs to copy state as-is between the host process and the stack. There are also some fixes there to pass the correct address of the floating point state around.

2007-10-16uml: rename pt_regs general-purpose register fileJeff Dike
Before the removal of tt mode, access to a register on the skas-mode side of a pt_regs struct looked like pt_regs.regs.skas.regs.regs[FOO]. This was bad enough, but it became pt_regs.regs.regs.regs[FOO] with the removal of the union from the middle. To get rid of the run of three "regs", the last field is renamed to "gp".

2007-10-16uml: style fixes pass 3Jeff Dike
Formatting changes in the files which have been changed in the course of folding foo_skas functions into their callers. These include: copyright updates header file trimming style fixes adding severity to printks These changes should be entirely non-functional.

2007-10-16uml: remove code made redundant by CHOOSE_MODE removalJeff Dike
This patch makes a number of simplifications enabled by the removal of CHOOSE_MODE. 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. It turns out that usr2_handler was unused, so it is gone.

2007-10-16uml: stop saving process FP stateJeff Dike
Throw out a lot of code dealing with saving and restoring floating-point state. In skas mode, where processes run in a restoring floating-point state on kernel entry and exit is pointless. This eliminates most of arch/um/os-Linux/sys-{i386,x86_64}/registers.c. Most of what remained is now arch-indpendent, and can be moved up to arch/um/os-Linux/registers.c. Both arches need the jmp_buf accessor get_thread_reg, and i386 needs {save,restore}_fp_regs because it cheats during sigreturn by getting the fp state using ptrace rather than copying it out of the process sigcontext. After this, it turns out that arch/um/include/skas/mode-skas.h is almost completely unneeded. The declarations in it are variables which either don't exist or which don't have global scope. The one exception is kill_off_processes_skas. If that's removed, this header can be deleted. This uncovered a bug in user.h, which wasn't correctly making sure that a size_t definition was available to both userspace and kernelspace files.
