Direct Cache Access (DCA) is a method for warming the CPU cache before data is used, with the intent of lessening the impact of cache misses. This patch adds a manager and interface for matching up client requests for DCA services with devices that offer DCA services. In order to use DCA, a module must do bus writes with the appropriate tag bits set to trigger a cache read for a specific CPU. However, different CPUs and chipsets can require different sets of tag bits, and the methods for determining the correct bits may be simple hardcoding or may be a hardware specific magic incantation. This interface is a way for DCA clients to find the correct tag bits for the targeted CPU without needing to know the specifics.

In a stock 2.6.22.6 kernel, poweroff a user mode linux guest (2.6.22.6 running in skas0 mode) will halt the host linux. I think the reason is the kernel thread abort because of a bug. Then the sys_reboot in process of user mode linux guest is not trapped by the user mode linux kernel and is executed by host. I think it is better to make sure all of our children process to quit when user mode linux kernel abort. [ jdike - the kernel process needs to ignore SIGTERM, plus the waitpid/kill loop is needed to make sure that all of our children are dead before the kernel exits ] Signed-off-by:

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.

Handle memory allocation failures when reading packets. We have to read something from the host, even if we can't allocate any memory. If we don't, the host side of the device may fill up and stop delivering interrupts because no new packets can be queued. A single sk_buff is allocated whenever an MTU is seen which is larger than any seen earlier. This is used to read packets if there is a memory allocation failure. The large MTU check is done from eth_configure, which is called when a interface is added to the system. Signed-off-by:

A bunch of MTU-related cleanups in the network code. First, there is the addition of the notion of a maximally-sized packet, which is the MTU plus headers. This is used to size the skb that will receive a packet. This allows ether_adjust_skb to go away, as it was used to resize the skb after it was allocated. Since the skb passed into the low-level read routine is no longer resized, and possibly reallocated, there, they (and the write routines) don't need to get an sk_buff **. They just need the sk_buff * now. The callers of ether_adjust_skb still need to do the skb_put, so that's now inlined. The MAX_PACKET definitions in most of the drivers are gone. The set_mtu methods were all the same and did nothing, so they can be removed. The ethertap driver had a typo which doubled the size of the packet rather than adding two bytes to it. It also wasn't defining its setup_size, causing a zero-byte kmalloc and crash when the invalid pointer returned from kmalloc was dereferenced. Signed-off-by:

There are various uses of powers of 1000, plus the odd BILLION constant in the time code. However, there are perfectly good definitions of *SEC_PER_*SEC in linux/time.h which can be used instaed. These are replaced directly in kernel code. Userspace code imports those constants as UM_*SEC_PER_*SEC and uses these. Signed-off-by:

Now that ITIMER_REAL is no longer used, there is no need for any use of SIGALRM whatsoever. This patch removes all mention of it. In addition, real_alarm_handler took a signal argument which is now always SIGVTALRM. So, that is gone. Signed-off-by:

Put back an implementation of timeval_to_ns in arch/um/os-Linux/time.c. tglx pointed out in his review of tickless support that there was a perfectly good implementation of it in linux/time.h. The problem is that this is userspace code which can't pull in kernel headers and there doesn't seem to be a libc version. So, I'm copying the version from linux/time.h rather than resurrecting my version. This causes some declaration changes as it now returns a signed value rather than an unsigned value. Signed-off-by:

Now, the idle loop now longer needs SIGALRM firing - it can just sleep for the requisite amount of time and fake a timer interrupt when it finishes. Any use of ITIMER_REAL now goes away. disable_timer only turns off ITIMER_VIRTUAL. switch_timers is no longer needed, so it, and all calls, goes away. disable_timer now returns the amount of time remaining on the timer. default_idle uses this to tell idle_sleep how long to sleep. idle_sleep will call alarm_handler if nanosleep returns 0, which is the case if it didn't return early due to an interrupt. Otherwise, it just returns. Signed-off-by:

Enable tickless support. CONFIG_TICK_ONESHOT and CONFIG_NO_HZ are enabled. itimer_clockevent gets CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_ONESHOT and an implementation of .set_next_event. CONFIG_UML_REAL_TIME_CLOCK goes away because it only makes sense when there is a clock ticking away all the time. timer_handler now just calls do_IRQ once without trying to figure out how many ticks to emulate. The idle loop now needs to turn ticking on and off. Userspace ticks keep happening as usual. However, the userspace loop keep track of when the next wakeup should happen and suppresses process ticks until that happens. Signed-off-by:

Enable CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS. timer_irq gets its name changed to timer_handler, and becomes the recipient of timer signals. The clock_event_device is set up to imitate the current ticking clock, i.e. CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_ONESHOT is not enabled yet. disable_timer now doesn't ignore SIGALRM and SIGVTALRM because that breaks delay calibration.

Enable CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME. As a side-effect of this, the UML implementations of do_gettimeofday and do_settimeofday go away, as these are provided by generic code. set_time also goes away since it was only used by do_settimeofday. Signed-off-by:

Fix up the switching between virtual and real timers. The idle loop sleeps, so the timer at that point must be real time. At all other times, the timer must be virtual. Even when userspace is running, and the kernel is asleep, the virtual timer is correct because the process timer will be running and the process timer will be firing. The timer switch used to be in the context switch and timer handler code. This is moved to the idle loop and the signal handler, making it much more clear why it is happening. switch_timers now returns the old timer type so that it may be restored. The signal handler uses this in order to restore the previous timer type when it returns. Signed-off-by:

Tidy the code affected by the floating point fixes. A bunch of unused stuff is gone, including two sigcontext.c files, which turned out to be entirely unneeded.

Fix the passing of printk output back to the mconsole client. The existing code was somewhat confused, accumulating output in a buffer, but writing it out entirely whenever a new chunk was added. This is fixed. The earlier include cleanups caused linux/sysrq.h to not be included - this is fixed by adding the include back, under CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ. CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ is also defaulted to on in defconfig. Signed-off-by:

Fix core dumping of floating point state. ELF_CORE_COPY_FPREGS gets a definitions, and as a result, dump_fpu no longer needs to exist. Also, elf_fpregset_t needed a real definition. Signed-off-by:

Handle floating point state better in ptrace. The code now correctly distinguishes between PTRACE_[GS]ETFPREGS and PTRACE_[GS]ETFPXREGS. The FPX requests get handed off to arch-specific code because that's not generic. get_fpregs, set_fpregs, set_fpregs, and set_fpxregs needed real implementations. Something here exposed a missing include in asm/page.h, which needed linux/types.h in order to get gfp_t, so that's fixed here. Signed-off-by:

Handle floating point state in across signals correctly. UML/i386 needs to know whether the host does PTRACE_[GS]ETFPXREGS, so an arch_init_registers hook is added, which on x86_64 does nothing. UML doesn't save and restore floating point registers on kernel entry and exit, so they need to be copied between the host process and the sigcontext. save_fpx_registers and restore_fpx_registers are added for this purpose. save_fp_registers and restore_fp_registers already exist. There was a bunch of floating point state conversion code in arch/um/sys-i386/ptrace.c which isn't needed there, but is needed in signal.c, so it is moved over. The i386 code now distinguishes between fp and fpx state and handles them correctly. The x86_64 code just needs to copy state as-is between the host process and the stack. There are also some fixes there to pass the correct address of the floating point state around. Signed-off-by:

Stop including asm/user.h from libc - it seems to be disappearing from distros. It's replaced with sys/user.h which defines user_fpregs_struct and user_fpxregs_struct instead of user_i387_struct and struct user_fxsr_struct on i386. As a bonus, on x86_64, I get to dump some stupid typedefs which were needed in order to get asm/user.h to compile. Signed-off-by:

Tidy the tlb flushing code. With tt mode gone, there is no reason to have the capability to have called directly from do_mmap, do_mprotect, and do_munmap, rather than calling a function pointer that it is given. There was a large amount of data that was passed from function to function, being used at the lowest level, without being changed. This stuff is now encapsulated in a structure which is initialized at the top layer and passed down. This simplifies the code, reduces the amount of code needed to pass the parameters around, and saves on stack space. A somewhat more subtle change is the meaning of the current operation index. It used to start at -1, being pre-incremented when adding an operation. It now starts at 0, being post-incremented, with associated adjustments of +/- 1 on comparisons. In addition, tlb.h contained a couple of declarations which had no users outside of tlb.c, so they could be moved or deleted. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:
