377fad3acb uml: kernel segfaults should dump proper registers
If there's a segfault inside the kernel, we want a dump of the registers at
the point of the segfault, not the registers at the point of calling panic or
the last userspace registers.

sig_handler_common_skas now uses a static register set in the case of a
SIGSEGV to avoid messing up the process registers if the segfault turns out to
be non-fatal.

The architecture sigcontext-to-pt_regs copying code was repurposed to copy
data out of the SEGV stack frame.

5d86456d38 uml: tidy fault code
Tidying in preparation for the segfault register dumping patch which follows.

void * pointers are changed to union uml_pt_regs *.  This makes the types
match reality, except in arch_fixup, which is changed to operate on a union
uml_pt_regs.  This fixes a bug in the call from segv_handler, which passes a
union uml_pt_regs, to segv, which expects to pass a struct sigcontext to
arch_fixup.

Whitespace and other style fixes.

There's also a errno printk fix.

1ffb9164f5 uml: remove page_size()
userspace code used to have to call the kernelspace function page_size() in
order to determine the value of the kernel's PAGE_SIZE.  Since this is now
available directly from kern_constants.h as UM_KERN_PAGE_SIZE, page_size() can
be deleted and calls changed to use the constant.

24fa6c0832 uml: move remaining useful contents of user_util.h
Rescue the useful contents of the soon-to-be-gone user-util.h.

pty.c now gets ptsname from stdlib.h like it should have always done.

CATCH_EINTR is now in os.h, although perhaps all usage should be under
os-Linux at some point.

get_pty is also in os.h.

This patch restores the old definition of ARRAY_SIZE in user.h.  This file is
included only in userspace files, so there will be no conflict with the
kernel's new ARRAY_SIZE.  The copy of the kernel's ARRAY_SIZE and associated
infrastructure is now gone.

c65badbdf5 uml: move SIGIO testing to sigio.c
This patch narrows the sigio interface.  The boot-time SIGIO testing used to
be in start_up.c, which meant that pty_output_sigio and pty_close_sigio needed
to be global.  By moving that code here, those can become static and the
declarations moved from user_util.h.

os_check_bugs is also here because it only does the SIGIO checking.  If it
does more, it'll probably move back to start_up.c.

f34d9d2dcb uml: network interface hotplug error handling
This fixes a number of problems associated with network interface hotplug.

The userspace initialization function can fail in some cases, but the
failure was never passed back to eth_configure, which proceeded with the
configuration.  This results in a zombie device that is present, but can't
work.  This is fixed by allowing the initialization routines to return an
error, which is checked, and the configuration aborted on failure.

eth_configure failed to check for many failures.  Even when it did check,
it didn't undo whatever initializations has already happened, so a present,
but partially initialized and non-working device could result.  It now
checks everything that can fail, and bails out, undoing whatever had been
done.

The return value of eth_configure was always ignored, so it is now just
void.

b92c4f922b [PATCH] uml: use correct register file size everywhere
This patch uses MAX_REG_NR consistently to refer to the register file size.
 FRAME_SIZE isn't sufficient because on x86_64, it is smaller than the
ptrace register file size.  MAX_REG_NR was introduced as a consistent way
to get the number of registers, but wasn't used everywhere it should be.

When this causes a problem, it makes PTRACE_SETREGS fail on x86_64 because
of a corrupted segment register value in the known-good register file.  The
patch also adds a register dump at that point in case there are any future
problems here.

14251809b1 [PATCH] uml: host VDSO fix
This fixes a problem seen by a number of people running UML on newer host
kernels.  init would hang with an infinite segfault loop.

It turns out that the host kernel was providing a AT_SYSINFO_EHDR of
0xffffe000, which faked UML into believing that the host VDSO page could be
reused.  However, AT_SYSINFO pointed into the middle of the address space, and
was unmapped as a result.  Because UML was providing AT_SYSINFO_EHDR and
AT_SYSINFO to its own processes, these would branch to nowhere when trying to
use the VDSO.

The fix is to also check the location of AT_SYSINFO when deciding whether to
use the host's VDSO.

838e56a11c [PATCH] uml: fix 2.6.20 hang
A previous cleanup misused need_poll, which had a fairly broken interface.
It implemented a growable array, changing the used elements count itself,
but leaving it up to the caller to fill in the actual elements, including
the entire array if the array had to be reallocated.  This worked because
the previous users were switching between two such structures, and the
elements were copied from the inactive array to the active array after
making sure the active array had enough room.

maybe_sigio_broken was made to use need_poll, but it was operating on a
single array, so when the buffer was reallocated, the previous contents
were lost.

This patch makes need_poll implement more sane semantics.  It merely
assures that the array is of the proper size and that the contents are
preserved.  It is up to the caller to adjust the used elements count and to
ensure that the proper elements are resent.

This manifested itself as a hang in 2.6.20 as the uninitialized buffer
convinced UML that one of its own file descriptors didn't support SIGIO and
needed to be watched by poll in a separate thread.  The result was an
interrupt flood as control traffic over this descriptor sparked interrupts,
which resulted in more control traffic, ad nauseum.

f355559cf7 [PATCH] uml: x86_64 thread fixes
x86_64 needs some TLS fixes.  What was missing was remembering the child
thread id during clone and stuffing it into the child during each context
switch.

The %fs value is stored separately in the thread structure since the host
controls what effect it has on the actual register file.  The host also needs
to store it in its own thread struct, so we need the value kept outside the
register file.

arch_prctl_skas was fixed to call PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL appropriately.  There is
some saving and restoring of registers in the ARCH_SET_* cases so that the
correct set of registers are changed on the host and restored to the process
when it runs again.

3a150e1da8 [PATCH] uml: fix error output during early boot
The startup code panics a lot if anything goes wrong early on.  This is wrong
for several reasons, like the kernel isn't running, so you can't really be
calling into it yet, but the harm comes from useful error messages being
trapped in the printk ring where no one will ever see them.

This patch changes these panics to perror and printf in wrappers which also
exit.  Normal, informational, prints are also wrapped so that fflush(stdout)
is called after each one.  This is so the output appears in the correct
sequence in the event of an error.

5d48545e5e [PATCH] uml: make execvp safe for our usage
Reimplement execvp for our purposes - after we call fork() it is fundamentally
unsafe to use the kernel allocator - current is not valid there.  So we simply
pass to our modified execvp() a preallocated buffer.  This fixes a real bug
and works very well in testing (I've seen indirectly warning messages from the
forked thread - they went on the pipe connected to its stdout and where read
as a number by UML, when calling read_output().  I verified the obtained
number corresponded to "BUG:").

The added use of __cant_sleep() is not a new bug since __cant_sleep() is
already used in the same function - passing an atomicity parameter would be
better but it would require huge change, stating that this function must not
be called in atomic context and can sleep is a better idea (will make sure of
this gradually).

Fix a UML hang in which everything would just stop until some I/O happened
- a ping, someone whacking the keyboard - at which point everything would
start up again as though nothing had happened.

The cause was gcc reordering some code which absolutely needed to be
executed in the order in the source.  When unblock_signals switches signals
from off to on, it needs to see if any interrupts had happened in the
critical section.  The interrupt handlers check signals_enabled - if it is
zero, then the handler adds a bit to the "pending" bitmask and returns.
unblock_signals checks this mask to see if any signals need to be
delivered.

The crucial part is this:
	signals_enabled = 1;
	save_pending = pending;
	if(save_pending == 0)
		return;
	pending = 0;

In order to avoid an interrupt arriving between reading pending and setting
it to zero, in which case, the record of the interrupt would be erased,
signals are enabled.

What happened was that gcc reordered this so that 'save_pending = pending'
came before 'signals_enabled = 1', creating a one-instruction window within
which an interrupt could arrive, set its bit in pending, and have it be
immediately erased.

When the I/O workload is purely disk-based, the loss of a block device
interrupt stops the entire I/O system because the next block request will
wait for the current one to finish.  Thus the system hangs until something
else causes some I/O to arrive, such as a network packet or console input.

The fix to this particular problem is a memory barrier between enabling
signals and reading the pending signal mask.  An xchg would also probably
work.

Looking over this code for similar problems led me to do a few more
things:

- make signals_enabled and pending volatile so that they don't get cached
  in registers

- add an mb() to the return paths of block_signals and unblock_signals so
  that the modification of signals_enabled doesn't get shuffled into the
  caller in the event that these are inlined in the future.

b428b51ed9 [PATCH] Fix "Remove the use of _syscallX macros in UML"
Fix commit 5f4c6bc1f3: it spits out warnings
about missing syscall prototype (it is in <unistd.h>) and it does not
recognize that two uses of _syscallX are to be resolved against kernel
headers in the source tree, not against _syscallX; they in fact do not
compile and would not work anyway.

If _syscallX macros will be removed from the kernel tree altogether, the
only reasonable solution for that piece of code is switching to open-coded
inline assembly (it's remapping the whole executable from memory, except
the page containing this code).

d9d645f06a [PATCH] uml: cleanup run_helper() API to fix a leak
Freeing the stack is left uselessly to the caller of run_helper in some cases
- this is taken from run_helper_thread, but here it is useless, so no caller
needs it and the only place where this happens has a potential leak - in case
of error neither run_helper() nor xterm_open() call free_stack().  At this
point passing a pointer is not needed - the stack pointer should be passed
directly, but this change is not done here.

On a 64bit Uml, if run under "setarch i386" (which a user did), uname()
currently returns the obtained i686 as machine - fix that.  Btw, I'm quite
surprised that under setarch i386 a 64-bit binary can run.

3c91735099 [PATCH] uml: thread creation tidying
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 *.
