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:

set_interval took a timer type as an argument, but it always specified a virtual timer. So, it is not needed, and it is gone, and set_interval is simplified appropriately. 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:

Eliminate hz() since its only purpose was to provide a kernel-space constant to userspace code. This can be done instead by providing the constant directly through kernel_constants.h. 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. There are the usual fixes - whitespace and style cleanups copyright updates emacs formatting comments gone include cleanups adding severities to printks Signed-off-by:

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:

Before the removal of tt mode, access to a register on the skas-mode side of a pt_regs struct looked like pt_regs.regs.skas.regs.regs[FOO]. This was bad enough, but it became pt_regs.regs.regs.regs[FOO] with the removal of the union from the middle. To get rid of the run of three "regs", the last field is renamed to "gp". Signed-off-by:

do_longjmp used to be needed when UML didn't have its own implementation of setjmp and longjmp. They came from libc, and couldn't be called directly from kernel code, as the libc jmp_buf couldn't be imported there. do_longjmp was a userspace function which served to provide longjmp access to kernel code. This is gone, and a number of void * pointers can now be jmp_buf *. Signed-off-by:

Eliminate some uses of __u64 in the physical memory support. It's hard to get a definition of __u64 in both kernel and userspace code on x86_64, so this changes them to unsigned long long. There are also a copyright update and formatting comment removal from the affected header. Signed-off-by:

This patch makes a number of simplifications enabled by the removal of CHOOSE_MODE. There were lots of functions that looked like int foo(args){ foo_skas(args); } The bodies of foo_skas are now folded into foo, and their declarations (and sometimes entire header files) are deleted. In addition, the union uml_pt_regs, which was a union between the tt and skas register formats, is now a struct, with the tt-mode arm of the union being removed. It turns out that usr2_handler was unused, so it is gone. Signed-off-by: -

The next stage after removing code which depends on CONFIG_MODE_TT is removing the CHOOSE_MODE abstraction, which provided both compile-time and run-time branching to either tt-mode or skas-mode code. This patch removes choose-mode.h and all inclusions of it, and replaces all CHOOSE_MODE invocations with the skas branch. This leaves a number of trivial functions which will be dealt with in a later patch. There are some changes in the uaccess and tls support which go somewhat beyond this and eliminate some of the now-redundant functions. Signed-off-by:
