2015-10-19um: Fix waitpid() usage in helper codeRichard Weinberger1-3/+3
If UML is executing a helper program it is using waitpid() with the __WCLONE flag to wait for the program as the helper is executed from a clone()'ed thread. While using __WCLONE is perfectly fine for clone()'ed childs it won't detect terminated childs if the helper has issued an execve(). We have to use __WALL to wait for both clone()'ed and regular childs to detect the termination before and after an execve().

2010-04-19uml: Fix build breakage after slab.h changesJan Kiszka1-1/+0
We now have to to include linux/slab.h explicitly for kmalloc & friends. Files that build against host headers already get their prototypes via um_malloc.h, linux/slab.h may even be unavailable. Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@web.de> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo1-0/+1
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2008-05-13uml: fix build when SLOB is enabledJeff Dike1-2/+2
Reintroduce uml_kmalloc for the benefit of UML libc code. The previous tactic of declaring __kmalloc so it could be called directly from the libc side of the house turned out to be getting too intimate with slab, and it doesn't work with slob. So, the uml_kmalloc wrapper is back. It calls kmalloc or whatever that translates into, and libc code calls it. kfree is left alone since that still works, leaving a somewhat inconsistent API.

2007-12-17uml: stop gdb from deleting breakpoints when running UMLStanislaw Gruszka1-11/+27
Sometimes when UML is debugged gdb miss breakpoints. When process traced by gdb do fork, debugger remove breakpoints from child address space. There is possibility to trace more than one fork, but this not work with UML, I guess (only guess) there is a deadlock - gdb waits for UML and UML waits for gdb. When clone() is called with SIGCHLD and CLONE_VM flags, gdb see this as PTRACE_EVENT_FORK not as PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE and remove breakpoints from child and at the same time from traced process, because either have the same address space. Maybe it is possible to do fix in gdb, but I'm not sure if there is easy way to find out if traced and child processes share memory. So I do fix for UML, it simply do not call clone() with both SIGCHLD and CLONE_VM flags together. Additionally __WALL flag is used for waitpid() to assure not miss clone and normal process events.

2007-10-16uml: userspace files should call libc directlyJeff Dike1-3/+5
A number of files that were changed in the recent removal of tt mode are userspace files which call the os_* wrappers instead of calling libc directly. A few other files were affected by this, through This patch makes these call glibc directly. There are also style fixes in the affected areas. os_print_error has no remaining callers, so it is deleted. There is a interface change to os_set_exec_close, eliminating a parameter which was always the same. The callers are fixed as well. os_process_pc got its error path cleaned up.

2007-07-16uml: Eliminate kernel allocator wrappersJeff Dike1-2/+2
UML had two wrapper procedures for kmalloc, um_kmalloc and um_kmalloc_atomic because the flag constants weren't available in userspace code. kern_constants.h had made kernel constants available for a long time, so there is no need for these wrappers any more. Rather, userspace code calls kmalloc directly with the userspace versions of the gfp flags. kmalloc isn't a real procedure, so I had to essentially copy the inline wrapper around __kmalloc. vmalloc also had its own wrapper for no good reason. This is now gone.

2007-05-07uml: convert libc layer to call read and writeJeff Dike1-2/+3
This patch converts calls in the os layer to os_{read,write}_file to calls directly to libc read() and write() where it is clear that the I/O buffer is in the kernel. We can do that here instead of calling os_{read,write}_file_k since we are in libc code and can call libc directly. With the change in the calls, error handling needs to be changed to refer to errno directly rather than the return value of the call. CATCH_EINTR wrappers were also added where needed.

2006-11-25[PATCH] uml: make execvp safe for our usagePaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso1-4/+10
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).

2006-10-20[PATCH] uml: cleanup run_helper() API to fix a leakPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso1-4/+3
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.
