2006-07-14[PATCH] uml: tidy longjmp macroJeff Dike
The UML_SETJMP macro was requiring its users to pass in a argument which it could supply itself, since it wasn't used outside that invocation of the macro. Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-07-10[PATCH] uml: signal initialization cleanupJeff Dike
It turns out that init_new_thread_signals is always called with altstack == 1, so we can eliminate the parameter.

2006-05-01[PATCH] uml: error handling fixesJeff Dike
Blairsorblade noticed some confusion between our use of a system call's return value and errno. This patch fixes a number of related bugs - using errno instead of a return value using a return value instead of errno forgetting to negate a error return to get a positive error code Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com> Cc: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-04-19[PATCH] uml: change sigjmp_buf to jmp_bufJeff Dike
Clean up the jmpbuf code. Since softints, we no longer use sig_setjmp, so the UML_SIGSETJMP wrapper now has a misleading name. Also, I forgot to change the buffers from sigjmp_buf to jmp_buf.

2006-04-11[PATCH] uml: fix format errorsPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Now that GCC warns about format errors, fix them. Nothing able to cause a crash, however. Signed-off-by: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it> Cc: Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-02-07[PATCH] uml: initialize process FP registers properlyJeff Dike
We weren't making sure that we initialized the FP registers of new processes to sane values. This patch also moves some defines in the affected area closer to where they are used.

2006-01-18[PATCH] uml: implement soft interruptsJeff Dike
This patch implements soft interrupts. Interrupt enabling and disabling no longer map to sigprocmask. Rather, a flag is set indicating whether interrupts may be handled. If a signal comes in and interrupts are marked as OK, then it is handled normally. If interrupts are marked as off, then the signal handler simply returns after noting that a signal needs handling. When interrupts are enabled later on, this pending signals flag is checked, and the IRQ handlers are called at that point. The point of this is to reduce the cost of local_irq_save et al, since they are very much more common than the signals that they are enabling and disabling. Soft interrupts produce a speed-up of ~25% on a kernel build. Subtleties - UML uses sigsetjmp/siglongjmp to switch contexts. sigsetjmp has been wrapped in a save_flags-like macro which remembers the interrupt state at setjmp time, and restores it when it is longjmp-ed back to. The enable_signals function has to loop because the IRQ handler disables interrupts before returning. enable_signals has to return with signals enabled, and signals may come in between the disabling and the return to enable_signals. So, it loops for as long as there are pending signals, ensuring that signals are enabled when it finally returns, and that there are no pending signals that need to be dealt with.

2006-01-18[PATCH] uml: eliminate some globalsJeff Dike
Stop using global variables to hold the file descriptor and offset used to map the skas0 stubs. Instead, calculate them using the page physical addresses.

2006-01-18[PATCH] uml: move libc-dependent skas process handlingGennady Sharapov
The serial UML OS-abstraction layer patch (um/kernel/skas dir). This moves all systemcalls from skas/process.c file under os-Linux dir and join skas/process.c and skas/process_kern.c files.
