2005-05-06[PATCH] uml: Fix process exit raceBodo Stroesser
tt-mode closes switch_pipes in exit_thread_tt and kills processes in switch_to_tt, if the exit_state is EXIT_DEAD or EXIT_ZOMBIE. In very rare cases the exiting process can be scheduled out after having set exit_state and closed switch_pipes (from release_task it calls proc_pid_flush, which might sleep). If this process is to be restarted, UML failes in switch_to_tt with: write of switch_pipe failed, err = 9 We fix this by closing switch_pipes not in exit_thread_tt, but later in release_thread_tt. Additionally, we set switch_pipe[0] = 0 after closing. switch_to_tt must not kill "from" process depending on its exit_state, but must kill it after release_thread was processed only, so it examines switch_pipe[0] for its decision.

Only x86 and x86_64 use arch_align_stack(), all other subarches have: #define arch_align_stack(x) (x) So, if this definition is found, UML's own arch_align_stack() should be skipped.

2005-05-06[PATCH] uml: S390 preparation, peekusr/pokeusr defined by subarchBodo Stroesser
s390 needs to change some parts of arch/um/kernel/ptrace.c. Thus, the code regarding PEEKUSER and POKEUSER are shifted to arch/um/sys-<subarch>/ptrace.c. Also s390 debug registers need to be updated, when singlestepping is switched on / off. Thus, setting/resetting of singlestepping is centralized in the new function set_singlestep(), which also inserts the macro SUBARCH_SET_SINGLESTEP(mode), if defined. Finally, s390 has the "ieee_instruction_pointer" in its registers, which also is allowed to be read via ptrace( PTRACE_PEEKUSER, getpid(), PT_IEEE_IP, 0); To implement this feature, sys_ptrace inserts the macro SUBARCH_PTRACE_SPECIAL, if defined.

2005-05-06[PATCH] revert msdos partitioning fixAndrew Morton
This change from March 3rd causes the partition parsing code to ignore partitions which have a signature byte of zero.

There's a slight bug in the routines in that if the period requires dt, then the routine will unconditionally set it. DT may only be set if Wide is also set, so this turns back on the wide bit.
