* [PATCH] uml: revert "run mconsole "sysrq" in process context"Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2005-09-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Revert commit 12ebcd73e40e09f0dfddf89e465cc0541e0ff8b1, i.e. [PATCH] uml: run mconsole "sysrq" in process context on request from Jeff Dike. a) sysrq may be run when the scheduler is non-functioning b) the warning I wanted to fix actually came from the fault handler run in atomic context. But I fixed that not to take the semaphore in a separate patch. c) the fault handler is run because of a fault, and that fault was unaffected by this patch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Things are breaking horribly with sysrq called in interrupt context. I want to try to fix it, but probably this is simpler. To tell the truth, sysrq is normally run in interrupt context, so there shouldn't be any problem. There's also a warning from the fault handler because it's run in atomic context (I have a patch for that, only I deferred it). This is why I'm doing this.

* [PATCH] uml: preserve errno in error pathsJeff Dike2005-09-171-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [PATCH] uml: breakpoint an arbitrary threadJeff Dike2005-09-171-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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!
