Introduce HAVE_AOUT symbol to remove hard-coded arch list for BINFMT_AOUT

2008-09-06T18:30:22+00:00

HAVE_AOUT doesn't quite do the same thing as the recently removed ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT config option. That was set even on platforms where binfmt_aout isn't supported, although it's not entirely clear why. So it's best just to introduce a new symbol, handled consistently with other similar HAVE_xxx symbols; with a simple 'select' in the arch Kconfig. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

Remove redundant CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT

Generic semaphore implementation

2008-04-17T14:42:34+00:00

Semaphores are no longer performance-critical, so a generic C implementation is better for maintainability, debuggability and extensibility. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for fixing the lockdep warning. Thanks to Harvey Harrison for pointing out that the unlikely() was unnecessary. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox Acked-by: Ingo Molnar

uml: runtime host VMSPLIT detection

2008-02-08T17:22:42+00:00

Calculate TASK_SIZE at run-time by figuring out the host's VMSPLIT - this is needed on i386 if UML is to run on hosts with varying VMSPLITs without recompilation. TASK_SIZE is now defined in terms of a variable, task_size. This gets rid of an include of pgtable.h from processor.h, which can cause include loops. On i386, task_size is calculated early in boot by probing the address space in a binary search to figure out where the boundary between usable and non-usable memory is. This tries to make sure that a page that is considered to be in userspace is, or can be made, read-write. I'm concerned about a system-global VDSO page in kernel memory being hit and considered to be a userspace page. On x86_64, task_size is just the old value of CONFIG_TOP_ADDR. A bunch of config variable are gone now. CONFIG_TOP_ADDR is directly replaced by TASK_SIZE. NEST_LEVEL is gone since the relocation of the stubs makes it irrelevant. All the HOST_VMSPLIT stuff is gone. All references to these in arch/um/Makefile are also gone. I noticed and fixed a missing extern in os.h when adding os_get_task_size. Note: This has been revised to fix the 32-bit UML on 64-bit host bug that Miklos ran into. Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike Cc: Miklos Szeredi Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

aout: mark arches that support A.OUT format

2008-02-08T17:22:30+00:00

Mark arches that support A.OUT format by including the following in their master Kconfig files: config ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT def_bool y This should also be set if the arch provides compatibility A.OUT support for an older arch, for instance x86_64 for i386 or sparc64 for sparc. I've guessed at which arches don't, based on comments in the code, however I'm sure that some of the ones I've marked as 'yes' actually should be 'no'.

uml: keep UML Kconfig in sync with x86

2007-12-03T16:13:17+00:00

Fix a UML build breakage introduced by commit 1032c0ba9da5c5b53173ad2dcf8b2a2da78f8b17 - it introduces X86_32, with many things which UML needs depending on it. This patch adds definitions of X86_32 and RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM to the UML/i386 Kconfig. Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

uml: fix stub address calculations

2007-10-16T16:43:09+00:00

The calculation of CONFIG_STUB_CODE and CONFIG_STUB_DATA didn't take into account anything but 3G/1G and 2G/2G, leaving the other vmsplits out in the cold. I'd rather not duplicate the four known host vmsplit cases for each of these symbols. I'd also like to calculate them based on the highest userspace address. The Kconfig language seems not to allow calculation of hex constants, so I moved this to as-layout.h. CONFIG_STUB_CODE, CONFIG_STUB_DATA, and CONFIG_STUB_START are now gone. In their place are STUB_CODE, STUB_DATA, and STUB_START in as-layout.h. i386 and x86_64 seem to differ as to whether an unadorned constant is an int or a long, so I cast them to unsigned long so they can be printed consistently. However, they are also used in stub.S, where C types don't work so well. So, there are ASM_ versions of these constants for use in stub.S. I also ifdef-ed the non-asm-friendly portion of as-layout.h. With this in place, most of the rest of this patch is changing CONFIG_STUB_* to STUB_*, except in stub.S, where they are changed to ASM_STUB_*. defconfig has the old symbols deleted. I also print these addresses out in case there is any problem mapping them on the host. The two stub.S files had some trailing whitespace, so that is cleaned up here.

[PATCH] fix indentation-related breakage in Kconfig.i386

2007-01-30T16:39:21+00:00

Kconfig recognizes the end of help text by receding indentation depth. Recent patch had broken HOST_VMSPLIT_... choice in arch/um/Kconfig.i386 - all alternatives are interpreted as part of help text now. Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
