2006-06-24[ARM] 3648/1: Update struct ucontext layout for coprocessor registersDaniel Jacobowitz
Patch from Daniel Jacobowitz In order for userspace to find saved coprocessor registers, move them from struct rt_sigframe into struct ucontext. Also allow space for glibc's sigset_t, so that userspace and kernelspace can use the same ucontext layout. Define the magic numbers for iWMMXt in the header file for easier reference. Include the size of the coprocessor data in the magic numbers. Also define magic numbers and layout for VFP, not yet saved.

2006-06-24[ARM] Add identifying number for non-rt sigframeRussell King
GDB couldn't reliably tell the difference between the old and new non-rt sigframes, so provide it with a number at the beginning which will never appear in the old sigframe, and hence provide gdb with a reliable way to tell the two apart. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2006-06-22[ARM] 3626/1: ARM EABI: fix syscall restartingNicolas Pitre
Patch from Nicolas Pitre The RESTARTBLOCK case currently store some code on the stack to invoke sys_restart_syscall. However this is ABI dependent and there is a mismatch with the way __NR_restart_syscall gets defined when the kernel is compiled for EABI. There is also a long standing bug in the thumb case since with OABI the __NR_restart_syscall value includes __NR_SYSCALL_BASE which should not be the case for Thumb syscalls.

2006-06-18[ARM] Re-use sigframe within rt_sigframeRussell King
sigframe is now a contained subset of rt_sigframe, so we can start to re-use code which accesses sigframe data for both rt and non-rt signals. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2006-06-18[ARM] Merge sigcontext and sigmask members of sigframeRussell King
ucontext contains both the sigcontext and sigmask structures, and is also used for rt signal contexts. Re-use this structure for non-rt signals. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2006-06-18[ARM] Replace extramask with a full copy of the sigmaskRussell King
There's not much point in splitting the sigmask between two different locations, so copy it entirely into a proper sigset_t. This will eventually allow rt_sigframe and sigframe to share more code. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2006-01-18[ARM] 3270/1: ARM EABI: fix sigreturn and rt_sigreturnNicolas Pitre

2005-11-19[ARM] 3168/1: Update ARM signal delivery and maskingDaniel Jacobowitz
Patch from Daniel Jacobowitz After delivering a signal (creating its stack frame) we must check for additional pending unblocked signals before returning to userspace. Otherwise signals may be delayed past the next syscall or reschedule. Once that was fixed it became obvious that the ARM signal mask manipulation was broken. It was a little bit broken before the recent SA_NODEFER changes, and then very broken after them. We must block the requested signals before starting the handler or the same signal can be delivered again before the handler even gets a chance to run.

2005-10-29[PATCH] mm: arm ready for split ptlockHugh Dickins
Prepare arm for the split page_table_lock: three issues. Signal handling's preserve and restore of iwmmxt context currently involves reading and writing that context to and from user space, while holding page_table_lock to secure the user page(s) against kswapd. If we split the lock, then the structure might span two pages, secured by to read into and write from a kernel stack buffer, copying that out and in without locking (the structure is 160 bytes in size, and here we're near the top of the kernel stack). Or would the overhead be noticeable? arm_syscall's cmpxchg emulation use pte_offset_map_lock, instead of pte_offset_map and mm-wide page_table_lock; and strictly, it should now also take mmap_sem before descending to pmd, to guard against another thread munmapping, and the page table pulled out beneath this thread. Updated two comments in fault-armv.c. adjust_pte is interesting, since its modification of a pte in one part of the mm depends on the lock held when calling update_mmu_cache for a pte in some other part of that mm. This can't be done with a split page_table_lock (and we've already taken the lowest lock in the hierarchy here): so we'll have to disable split on arm, unless CONFIG_CPU_CACHE_VIPT to ensures adjust_pte never used.

2005-08-29[PATCH] convert signal handling of NODEFER to act like other Unix boxes.Steven Rostedt
It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it. I've written a program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes, confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled. The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows: 1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked. 2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_ NetBSD 2.0 *). The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux: 1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this). 2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being handled is not blocked. The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to the way most Unix boxes work. Unix boxes that were tested: DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU 3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX. * NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like Linux. So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that behaves differently here with #2.

2005-06-22[PATCH] ARM: Move signal return code into vector pageRussell King

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
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!
