2011-09-14um: clean arch_ptrace() up a bitAl Viro
1) take subarch-specific stuff to subarch_ptrace() 2) PTRACE_{PEEK,POKE}{TEXT,DATA} is handled by ptrace_request() just fine...

2011-07-25um: Set __HAVE_ARCH_GATE_AREA for i386Richard Weinberger
When UML is unable to reuse the host's vDSO FIXADDR_USER_START is zero. To handle this special case correclty we have to implement custom gate area helper methods.

2011-03-22uml: kernels on {i386,x86_64} produce bad coredumpsPaul Pluzhnikov
One of our users reported that when a user-level program SIGSEGVs under UML kernel, the resulting core dump is not very usable. I have reproduced that with the latest kernel: make ARCH=um defconfig; make ARCH=um Run the resulting kernel, then "inside" run this program: #include <pthread.h> void *fn(void *p) { abort(); } int main() { pthread_t tid; pthread_create(&tid, 0, fn, 0); pthread_join(tid, 0); return 0; } Analyze the coredump with GDB. Here is what you'll see: sudo gdb -q -ex 'set solib-absolute-prefix ../root_fs' -ex 'file ../root_fs/var/tmp/mt-abort' -ex 'core ../root_fs/var/tmp/core.762' Reading symbols from /usr/local/google/root_fs/var/tmp/mt-abort...done. [New Thread 763] [New Thread 762] Core was generated by `./mt-abort'.

I believe this is happening because neither ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS nor task_pt_regs are defined under ARCH=um, and so elf_core_copy_task_regs() becomes a no-op. Attached patch fixes this for SUBARCH={x86_64,i386}.

2010-04-21UML: Fix compiler warning due to missing task_struct declarationJan Kiszka
We can't pull in linux/sched.h due to circular dependency, so just forward-declare the struct. This fixes the following warning: CC arch/um/sys-i386/elfcore.o In file included from /data/linux-2.6/include/linux/elf.h:8, from /data/linux-2.6/arch/um/sys-i386/elfcore.c:2: arch/um/sys-i386/asm/elf.h:78: warning: ‘struct task_struct’ declared inside parameter list arch/um/sys-i386/asm/elf.h:78: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want I guess not many people build against i386 hosts anymore, so this remained widely unnoticed.

2010-03-06elf coredump: replace ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* macros by functionsDaisuke HATAYAMA
elf_core_dump() and elf_fdpic_core_dump() use #ifdef and the corresponding macro for hiding _multiline_ logics in functions. This patch removes #ifdef and replaces ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* by corresponding functions. For architectures not implemeonting ELF_CORE_EXTRA_*, we use weak functions in order to reduce a range of modification. This cleanup is for my next patches, but I think this cleanup itself is worth doing regardless of my firnal purpose.

2009-12-16elf: kill USE_ELF_CORE_DUMPChristoph Hellwig
Currently all architectures but microblaze unconditionally define USE_ELF_CORE_DUMP. The microblaze omission seems like an error to me, so let's kill this ifdef and make sure we are the same everywhere.
