um: Use RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK on x86

2011-06-03T00:32:05+00:00

commit 3a3679078aed2c451ebc32836bbd3b8219a65e01 upstream. Commit d12337 (rwsem: Remove redundant asmregparm annotation) broke rwsem on UML. As we cannot compile UML with -mregparm=3 and keeping asmregparm only for UML is inadequate the easiest solution is using RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK. Thanks to Thomas Gleixner for the idea.

um: fix abort

2011-05-18T09:55:23+00:00

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. Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

um: adjust current_thread_info() for newer gcc versions

2011-04-28T18:28:21+00:00

In some cases gcc >= 4.5.2 will optimize away current_thread_info(). To prevent gcc from doing so the stack address has to be obtained via inline asm. Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger Acked-by: Kirill A. Shutemov Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

um: mdd support for 64 bit atomic operations

um: disable CONFIG_CMPXCHG_LOCAL

2011-04-14T23:06:56+00:00

Commit 8a5ec0ba "Lockless (and preemptless) fastpaths for slub" makes use of this_cpu_cmpxchg_double() which needs this_cpu_cmpxchg16b_emu() on x86_64. Implementing cmpxchg16b emulation for UML would introduce too much complexity. So just disable it.

um: fix call tracer and bug handler

2011-04-14T23:06:56+00:00

Commit 1de1502c ("x86, um: now we can get rid of trivial uml headers") removed accidentally bug.h which broke UML's call tracer and bug handler. Without asm-generic/bug.h UML uses BUG() from arch/x86/ which makes use of ud2. UML cannot use ud2, it raises SIGILL in user mode. As UML has a different stack for handling signals the call trace will be cut off.
