I noticed that errors happening while hotplugging devices from the host were
never returned back to the mconsole client. In some cases, success was
returned instead of even an information-free error.
This patch cleans that up by having the low-level configuration code pass back
an error string along with an error code. At the top level, which knows
whether it is early boot time or responding to an mconsole request, the string
is printk'd or returned to the mconsole client.
There are also whitespace and trivial code cleanups in the surrounding code.

Clean up the console driver locking. There are various problems here,
including sleeping under a spinlock and spinlock recursion, some of which are
fixed here. This patch deals with the locking involved with opens and closes.
The problem is that an mconsole request to change a console's configuration
can race with an open. Changing a configuration should only be done when a
console isn't opened. Also, an open must be looking at a stable
configuration. In addition, a get configuration request must observe the same
locking since it must also see a stable configuration. With the old locking,
it was possible for this to hang indefinitely in some cases because open would
block for a long time waiting for a connection from the host while holding the
lock needed by the mconsole request.
As explained in the long comment, this is fixed by adding a spinlock for the
use count and configuration and a mutex for the actual open and close.

Add some comments about requirements for ubd_io_lock and expand its use.
When an irq signals that the "controller" (i.e. another thread on the host,
which does the actual requests and is the only one blocked on I/O on the host)
has done some work, we call again the request function ourselves
(do_ubd_request).
We now do that with ubd_io_lock held - that's useful to protect against
concurrent calls to elv_next_request and so on.
XXX: Maybe we shouldn't call at all the request function. Input needed on
this. Are we supposed to plug and unplug the queue? That code "indirectly"
does that by setting a flag, called do_ubd, which makes the request function
return (it's a residual of 2.4 block layer interface).
Meanwhile, however, merge this patch, which improves things.

This lock protects ubd setup and teardown, so is only used in process context;
beyond that, during such setup memory allocations must be performed and some
generic functions which can sleep must be called (such as add_disk()). So the
only correct solution is to make it a mutex instead of a spin_lock. No other
change is done - this lock must be acquired in different places but it's done
afterwards.

- 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

As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of
structures in order to not have to document their locking. One of these
structures was a struct tty_operations. In order to const it in UML
without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of
tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to
be fixed.
This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const. In all
cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations. As an
extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra
warnings.
53 drivers are affected. I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in
most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the
last six months. serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.

Mechanical, hopefully non-functional changes stemming from
setup_etheraddr always succeeding now that it always assigns a MAC,
either from the command line or generated randomly:
the test of the return of setup_etheraddr is removed, and code
dependent on it succeeding is now unconditional
setup_etheraddr can now be made void
struct uml_net.have_mac is now always 1, so tests of it can be
similarly removed, and uses of it can be replaced with 1
struct uml_net.have_mac is no longer used, so it can be removed
struct uml_net_private.have_mac is copied from struct uml_net, so
it is always 1
tests of uml_net_private.have_mac can be removed
uml_net_private.have_mac can now be removed
the only call to dev_ip_addr was removed, so it can be deleted
It also turns out that setup_etheraddr is called only once, from the same
file, so it can be static and its declaration removed from net_kern.h.
Similarly, set_ether_mac is defined and called only from one file.
Finally, setup_etheraddr and set_ether_mac were moved to avoid needing forward
declarations.

Assign a random MAC to an ethernet interface if one was not provided on the
command line. This became pressing when distros started bringing interfaces
up before assigning IPs to them. The previous pattern of assigning an IP then
bringing it up allowed the MAC to be generated from the first IP assigned.
However, once the thing is up, it's probably a bad idea to change the MAC, so
the MAC stayed initialized to fe:fd:0:0:0:0.
Now, if there is no MAC from the command line, one is generated. We use the
microseconds from gettimeofday (20 bits), plus the low 12 bits of the pid to
seed the random number generator. random() is called twice, with 16 bits of
each result used. I didn't want to have to try to fill in 32 bits optimally
given an arbitrary RAND_MAX, so I just assume that it is greater than 65536
and use 16 bits of each random() return.
There is also a bit of reformatting and whitespace cleanup here.

This spinlock can be taken on interrupt too, so spin_lock_irq[save] must be

However, Documentation/networking/netdevices.txt explains we are called with

Verified also in LDD3 and by direct checking. Also verified that the network
layer (through a state machine) guarantees us that nobody will close the
interface while it's being used. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Also, we must check we don't sleep with irqs disabled!!! But anyway, this is

-mm in combination with an FC5 init started dying with 'stderr=1' because init
didn't like the lack of /dev/console and exited. The problem was that the
stderr console, which is intended to dump printk output to the terminal before
the regular console is initialized, isn't a tty, and so can't make
/dev/console operational.
However, since it is registered first, the normal console, when it is
registered, doesn't become the preferred console, and isn't attached to
/dev/console. Thus, /dev/console is never operational.
This patch makes the stderr console unregister itself in an initcall, which is
late enough that the normal console is registered. When that happens, the
normal console will become the preferred console and will be able to run
/dev/console.

for any external event. As we don't have 1-byte or 2-byte wide fields, the

- Add detection and reading of the broken 64-bit COW format which has been

Safe detection is possible, thanks to some luck with the existing format,

Changes since first version

This adds hotplug memory support to UML. The mconsole syntax is
config mem=[+-]n[KMG]
In other words, add or subtract some number of kilobytes, megabytes, or
gigabytes.
Unplugged pages are allocated and then madvise(MADV_TRUNCATE), which is a
currently experimental madvise extension. These pages are tracked so they
can be plugged back in later if the admin decides to give them back. The
first page to be unplugged is used to keep track of about 4M of other
pages. A list_head is the first thing on this page. The rest is filled
with addresses of other unplugged pages. This first page is not madvised,
obviously.
When this page is filled, the next page is used in a similar way and linked
onto a list with the first page. Etc. This whole process reverses when
pages are plugged back in. When a tracking page no longer tracks any
unplugged pages, then it is next in line for plugging, which is done by
freeing pages back to the kernel.

The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe. There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2
We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:
"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;
"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.
We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.
With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)
There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)
Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.
Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.

net/ipv4/devinet.c: inetaddr_chain
It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong. If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)

Morton.

When the user specifies both a COW file and its backing file, if the previous
backing file is not found, currently UML tries again to use it and fails.
This can be corrected by changing same_backing_files() return value in that
case, so that the caller will try to change the COW file to point to the new
location, as already done in other cases.
Additionally, given the change in the meaning of the func, change its name,
invert its return value, so all values are inverted except when
stat(from_cow,&buf2) fails. And add some comments and two minor bugfixes -
remove a fd leak (return err rather than goto out) and a repeated check.
Tested well.

In this error path, when the interface has had a problem, we call dev_close(),
which is disallowed for two reasons:
*) takes again the UML internal spinlock, inside the ->stop method of this
device
*) can be called in process context only, while we're in interrupt context.
I've also thought that calling dev_close() may be a wrong policy to follow,
but it's not up to me to decide that.
However, we may end up with multiple dev_close() queued on the same device.
But the initial test for (dev->flags & IFF_UP) makes this harmless, though -
and dev_close() is supposed to care about races with itself. So there's no
harm in delaying the shutdown, IMHO.
Something to mark the interface as "going to shutdown" would be appreciated,
but dev_deactivate has the same problems as dev_close(), so we can't use it
either.

The API and code have been through various bits of initial review by
serial driver people but they definitely need to live somewhere for a
while so the unconverted drivers can get knocked into shape, existing
drivers that have been updated can be better tuned and bugs whacked out.
This replaces the tty flip buffers with kmalloc objects in rings. In the
normal situation for an IRQ driven serial port at typical speeds the
behaviour is pretty much the same, two buffers end up allocated and the
kernel cycles between them as before.
When there are delays or at high speed we now behave far better as the
buffer pool can grow a bit rather than lose characters. This also means
that we can operate at higher speeds reliably.
For drivers that receive characters in blocks (DMA based, USB and
especially virtualisation) the layer allows a lot of driver specific
code that works around the tty layer with private secondary queues to be
removed. The IBM folks need this sort of layer, the smart serial port
people do, the virtualisers do (because a virtualised tty typically
operates at infinite speed rather than emulating 9600 baud).
Finally many drivers had invalid and unsafe attempts to avoid buffer
overflows by directly invoking tty methods extracted out of the innards
of work queue structs. These are no longer needed and all go away. That
fixes various random hangs with serial ports on overflow.
The other change in here is to optimise the receive_room path that is
used by some callers. It turns out that only one ldisc uses receive room
except asa constant and it updates it far far less than the value is
read. We thus make it a variable not a function call.
I expect the code to contain bugs due to the size alone but I'll be
watching and squashing them and feeding out new patches as it goes.
Because the buffers now dynamically expand you should only run out of
buffering when the kernel runs out of memory for real. That means a lot of
the horrible hacks high performance drivers used to do just aren't needed any
more.
Description:
tty_insert_flip_char is an old API and continues to work as before, as does
tty_flip_buffer_push() [this is why many drivers dont need modification]. It
does now also return the number of chars inserted
There are also
tty_buffer_request_room(tty, len)
which asks for a buffer block of the length requested and returns the space
found. This improves efficiency with hardware that knows how much to
transfer.
and tty_insert_flip_string_flags(tty, str, flags, len)
to insert a string of characters and flags
For a smart interface the usual code is
len = tty_request_buffer_room(tty, amount_hardware_says);
tty_insert_flip_string(tty, buffer_from_card, len);
More description!
At the moment tty buffers are attached directly to the tty. This is causing a
lot of the problems related to tty layer locking, also problems at high speed
and also with bursty data (such as occurs in virtualised environments)
I'm working on ripping out the flip buffers and replacing them with a pool of
dynamically allocated buffers. This allows both for old style "byte I/O"
devices and also helps virtualisation and smart devices where large blocks of
data suddenely materialise and need storing.
So far so good. Lots of drivers reference tty->flip.*. Several of them also
call directly and unsafely into function pointers it provides. This will all
break. Most drivers can use tty_insert_flip_char which can be kept as an API
but others need more.
At the moment I've added the following interfaces, if people think more will
be needed now is a good time to say
int tty_buffer_request_room(tty, size)
Try and ensure at least size bytes are available, returns actual room (may be
zero). At the moment it just uses the flipbuf space but that will change.
Repeated calls without characters being added are not cumulative. (ie if you
call it with 1, 1, 1, and then 4 you'll have four characters of space. The
other functions will also try and grow buffers in future but this will be a
more efficient way when you know block sizes.
int tty_insert_flip_char(tty, ch, flag)
As before insert a character if there is room. Now returns 1 for success, 0
for failure.
int tty_insert_flip_string(tty, str, len)
Insert a block of non error characters. Returns the number inserted.
int tty_prepare_flip_string(tty, strptr, len)
Adjust the buffer to allow len characters to be added. Returns a buffer
pointer in strptr and the length available. This allows for hardware that
needs to use functions like insl or mencpy_fromio.

HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to
duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting
the start sector. This patch moves that to common code [1] and adds a
->getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure. For many
drivers this means ->ioctl can go away now.
[1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect. xpram sets ->start
to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts
the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard
sector size.

The stack command now sends the printk output back to the mconsole client.
This is done by registering a special console for the mconsole driver. This
receives all printk output. Normally, it is ignored, but when a stack command
is issued, any printk output will be sent back to the client.
This will capture any printk output, whether it is stack output or not, since
we can't tell the difference.

This patch cleans up the umid code:
- The only_if_set argument to get_umid is gone.
- get_umid returns an empty string rather than NULL if there is no umid.
- umid_is_random is gone since its users went away.
- Some printfs were turned into printks because the code runs late enough
that printk is working.
- Error paths were cleaned up.
- Some functions now return an error and let the caller print the error
message rather than printing it themselves. This eliminates the practice of
passing a pointer to printf or printk in, depending on where in the boot
process we are.
- Major tidying of not_dead_yet - mostly error path cleanup, plus a comment
explaining why it doesn't react to errors the way you might expect.
- Calls to os_* interfaces that were moved under os are changed back to
their native libc forms.
- snprintf, strlcpy, and their bounds-checking friends are used more often,
replacing by-hand bounds checking in some places.

This patch simplifies the opening and closing of host console devices and the
registration and deregistration of IRQs. The intent is to make it obvious
that an IRQ can't exist without an open file descriptor.
chan_enable will now open the channel, and when both opening and IRQ
registration are desired, this should be used. Opening only is done for the
initial console, so that interface still needs to exist.
The free_irqs_later interface is now gone. It was intended to avoid freeing
an IRQ while it was being processed. It did this, but it didn't eliminate the
possiblity of free_irq being called from an interrupt, which is bad. In its
place is a list of irqs to be freed, which is processed by the signal handler
just before exiting. close_one_chan now disables irqs.
When a host device disappears, it is just closed, and that disables IRQs.
The device id registered with the IRQ is now the chan structure, not the tty.
This is because the interrupt arrives on a descriptor associated with the
channel. This caused equivalent changes in the arguments to line_timer_cb.
line_disable is gone since it is not used any more.
The count field in the line structure is gone. tty->count is used instead.
The complicated logic in sigio_handler with freeing IRQs when necessary and
making sure its idea of the next irq is correct is now much simpler. The irq
list can't be rearranged underneath it, so it is now a simple list walk.

printk clears the host errno (I verified this in debugging and it's reasonable
enough, given that it ends via a write call on some fd, especially since
printk() goes on /dev/tty0 which is often the host stdout). So save errno
earlier. There's no reason to change the printk calls to use -err rather than
errno - the assignment can't clear errno.
And in the first failure path, we used to return 0 too (and this time more
clearly), which is totally wrong. 0 is a success fd, which is then registered
and gives a "registering fd twice" warning.

Commit 44456d37b5, between 2.6.13-rc3 and -rc4,
was a "nice cleanup" which broke something. Revert the offending part.
It broke because:
a) because this part doesn't fall under the description
b) the author didn't know what he was doing here
c) the author didn't try to compile the existing code and see that it worked
perfectly.
d) the author didn't ask us what was happening
e) you didn't either, and somebody there should have learned that UML is a bit
different.
In fact, UML is special in linking to host libc and using its includes.
In particular, since host includes always define both __BIG_ENDIAN and
__LITTLE_ENDIAN, ntohll() macros started thinking to be in a big-endian world;
and on-disk compatibility was broken.
Many thanks go to Nix for reporting the problem and correctly diagnosing an
endianness problem.
Btw, this patch restores the previous code, which worked; but the definitions
would be uncorrect if used in kernelspace files.
Next patch addresses that.

The poster child for this patch is the third tuntap_user hunk. When an ioctl
fails, it properly closes the opened file descriptor and returns. However,
the close resets errno to 0, and the 'return errno' that follows returns 0
rather than the value that ioctl set. This caused the caller to believe that
the device open succeeded and had opened file descriptor 0, which caused no
end of interesting behavior.
The rest of this patch is a pass through the UML sources looking for places
where errno could be reset before being passed back out. A common culprit is
printk, which could call write, being called before errno is returned.
In some cases, where the code ends up being much smaller, I just deleted the
printk.
There was another case where a caller of run_helper looked at errno after a
failure, rather than the return value of run_helper, which was the errno value
that it wanted.

This patch implements a stack trace for a thread, not unlike sysrq-t does.
The advantage to this is that a break point can be placed on showreqs, so that
upon showing the stack, you jump immediately into the debugger. While sysrq-t
does the same thing, sysrq-t shows *all* threads stacks. It also doesn't work
right now. In the future, I thought it might be acceptable to make this show
all pids stacks, but perhaps leaving well enough alone and just using sysrq-t
would be okay. For now, upon receiving the stack command, UML switches
context to that thread, dumps its registers, and then switches context back to
the original thread. Since UML compacts all threads into one of 4 host
threads, this sort of mechanism could be expanded in the future to include
other debugging helpers that sysrq does not cover.
Note by jdike - The main benefit to this is that it brings an arbitrary thread
back into context, where it can be examined by gdb. The fact that it dumps it
stack is secondary. This provides the capability to examine a sleeping
thread, which has existed in tt mode, but not in skas mode until now.
Also, the other threads, that sysrq doesn't cover, can be gdb-ed directly
anyway.

The ubd IO thread is gone, since there is now an equivalent thread in the AIO

There is provision for multiple outstanding requests now. Requests aren't
retired until all pieces of it have been completed. The AIO requests have a

spinlock, and reduces as needed the amount of protected code to the bare
minimum (for instance no kmalloc calls are needed).
This fixes the last problems with spinlocking (in UP mode with DEBUG
options); the semaphore, taken inside spinlocks, caused a "spin_lock was
already locked" warning, without this patch.

Clean up the hot-unplugging code. There is now an id procedure which is
called to figure out what device we're talking to. The error messages from
that are now done from mconsole_remove instead of the driver. remove is now
called with the device number, after it has been checked, so doesn't need to
do sanity checking on it.

This occurrence of free_irq_by_irq_and_dev() was missed when converting UML

With Chris Wedgwood <cw@f00f.org>
Currently UML must explicitly call the UML-specific
free_irq_by_irq_and_dev() for each free_irq call it's done.
This is needed because ->shutdown and/or ->disable are only called when the
last "action" for that irq is removed.
Instead, for UML shared IRQs (UML IRQs are very often, if not always,
shared), for each dev_id some setup is done, which must be cleared on the
release of that fd. For instance, for each open console a new instance
(i.e. new dev_id) of the same IRQ is requested().
Exactly, a fd is stored in an array (pollfds), which is after read by a
host thread and passed to poll(). Each event registered by poll() triggers
an interrupt. So, for each free_irq() we must remove the corresponding
host fd from the table, which we do via this -release() method.
In this patch we add an appropriate hook for this, and remove all uses of
it by pointing the hook to the said procedure; this is safe to do since the
said procedure.
Also some cosmetic improvements are included.
This is heavily based on some work by Chris Wedgwood, which however didn't
get the patch merged for something I'd call a "misunderstanding" (the need
for this patch wasn't cleanly explained, thus adding the generic hook was
felt as undesirable).

This is a bunch of compile fixes provoked by building UML with gcc 4. There
are a bunch of signedness mismatches, a couple of uninitialized references,
and a botched C99 structure initialization which had somehow gone unnoticed.

Byte-swapping of the port and IP address passed in to the multicast driver by
the user used to happen in different places, which was a bug in itself. The
port also was swapped before being printk-ed, which led to a misleading
message. This patch moves the port swapping to the same place as the IP
address swapping. It also cleans up the error paths of mcast_open.

This makes SIGWINCH work again, and fixes a couple of SIGWINCH-associated
crashes. First, the sigio thread disables SIGWINCH because all hell breaks
loose if it ever gets one and tries to call the signal handling code. Second,
there was a problem with deferencing tty structs after they were freed. The
SIGWINCH support for a tty wasn't being turned off or freed after the tty went
away.

Use the set_disk_ro() API when the backing file is read-only, to mark the disk
read-only, during the ->open(). The current hack does not work when doing a
mount -o remount.
Also, mark explicitly the code paths which should no more be triggerable (I've
removed the WARN_ON(1) things). They should actually become BUG()s probably
but I'll avoid that since I'm not so sure the change works so well. I gave it
only some limited testing.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
