I found a type mismatch in UML that makes host block devices unusable as ubd
devices on x86_64 and other 64 bits systems (segfault of the mm subsystem):
In block/ioctl.c, the following lines show that the BLKGETSIZE ioctl expects
a pointer to a long:
case BLKGETSIZE:
if ((bdev->bd_inode->i_size >> 9) > ~0UL)
return -EFBIG;
return put_ulong(arg, bdev->bd_inode->i_size >> 9);
In arch/um/os-Linux/file.c, os_file_size calls it with an int.
The ioctl_list man page should be fixed as well.

Stop UML crashing when trying to dump a process core on x86_64. This is the
minimal fix to stop the crash - more things are broken here, and patches are
forthcoming.
The immediate thing to do is define ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS and
ELF_CORE_COPY_FPREGS. Defining ELF_CORE_COPY_FPREGS allows dump_fpu to go
away. It is defined in terms of save_fp_registers, so that needs to be added.

The previous patch which limited the number of sectors in a single request
to a COWed device was correct in concept, but the limit was implemented in
the wrong place.
By putting it in ubd_add, it covered the cases where the COWing was
specified on the command line. However, when the command line only has the
COW file specified, the fact that it's a COW file isn't known until it's
opened, so the limit is missed in these cases.
This patch moves the sector limit from ubd_add to ubd_open_dev.

Remove fs.h from mm.h. For this,
1) Uninline vma_wants_writenotify(). It's pretty huge anyway.
2) Add back fs.h or less bloated headers (err.h) to files that need it.
As result, on x86_64 allyesconfig, fs.h dependencies cut down from 3929 files
rebuilt down to 3444 (-12.3%).
Cross-compile tested without regressions on my two usual configs and (sigh):

* 'request-queue-t' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block:
[BLOCK] Add request_queue_t and mark it deprecated
[BLOCK] Get rid of request_queue_t typedef

2.6.23-rc1 turned up another batch of references from non-__init code to
__init code. In most cases, these were missing __init annotations. In one
case (os_drop_memory), the annotation was present but wrong.
init_maps is __init, but for some reason was being very careful about the
mechanism by which it allocated memory, checking whether it was OK to use
kmalloc (at this point in the boot, it definitely isn't) and using either
alloc_bootmem_low_pages or kmalloc/vmalloc. So, the kmalloc/vmalloc code is
removed.

Uli started this by seeing that UML's initialization of a struct iocb
initialized fields that it shouldn't.
Al followed up by adding the following cleanups:
eliminating a variable by just using an anonymous structure in
its place.
hoisting a duplicated line out of the switch.
simplifying the error checking at the end.
I added a severity to the printk.

In 2.6.23-rc1, i386 fiddled its string support such that UML started getting
undefined references from modules. The UML asm/string.h was including the
i386 string.h, which defined __HAVE_ARCH_STR*, but the corresponding
implementations weren't being pulled in.
This is fixed by adding arch/i386/lib/string.h to the list of host
architecture files to be pulled in to UML.
A complication is that the libc exports file assumed that the generic strlen
and strstr weren't in use (i.e. __HAVE_ARCH_STR is defined), then they aren't
exported. This is untrue for strlen, which is exported in either case, so
this logic is not needed.

Currently, CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64 both enables boot-time checking of
the cmpxchg64b feature and enables compilation of the set_64bit() family.
Since the option is dependent on PAE, and since KVM depends on set_64bit(),
this effectively disables KVM on i386 nopae.
Simplify by removing the config option altogether: the boot check is made
dependent on CONFIG_X86_PAE directly, and the set_64bit() family is exposed
without constraints. It is up to users to check for the feature flag (KVM
does not as virtualiation extensions imply its existence).

UML had two wrapper procedures for kmalloc, um_kmalloc and um_kmalloc_atomic
because the flag constants weren't available in userspace code.
kern_constants.h had made kernel constants available for a long time, so there
is no need for these wrappers any more. Rather, userspace code calls kmalloc
directly with the userspace versions of the gfp flags.
kmalloc isn't a real procedure, so I had to essentially copy the inline
wrapper around __kmalloc.
vmalloc also had its own wrapper for no good reason. This is now gone.

Cleanup of the SIGWINCH support.
Some code and comment reformatting.
The stack used for SIGWINCH threads was leaked. This is now fixed by storing
it with the pid and other information, and freeing it when the thread is
killed.
If something goes wrong with a WIGWINCH thread, and this is discovered in the
interrupt handler, the winch record would leak. It is now freed, except that
the IRQ isn't freed. This is hard to do from interrupt context. This has the
side-effect that the IRQ system maintains a reference to the freed structure,
but that shouldn't cause a problem since the descriptor is disabled.
register_winch_irq is now much better about cleaning up after an
initialization failure.

It is theoretically possible for a request to finish and be freed between
writing it to the I/O thread and updating the sector count. In this case, the
update will dereference a freed pointer.

the request pointer is known to be good.

Distros seem to be removing PAGE_SIZE from asm/page.h. So, the libc side of
UML should stop using it.
I replace it with UM_KERN_PAGE_SIZE, which is defined to be the same as
PAGE_SIZE on the kernel side of the house. I could also use getpagesize(),
but it's more important that UML have the same value of PAGE_SIZE everywhere.
It's conceivable that it could be built with a larger PAGE_SIZE, and use of
getpagesize() would break that badly.
PAGE_MASK got the same treatment, as it is closely tied to PAGE_SIZE.

Add a separate IRQ stack. This differs from i386 in having the entire
interrupt run on a separate stack rather than starting on the normal kernel
stack and switching over once some preparation has been done. The underlying
mechanism, is of course, sigaltstack.
Another difference is that interrupts that happen in userspace are handled on
the normal kernel stack. These cause a wait wakeup instead of a signal
delivery so there is no point in trying to switch stacks for these. There's
no other stuff on the stack, so there is no extra stack consumption.
This quirk makes it possible to have the entire interrupt run on a separate
stack - process preemption (and calls to schedule()) happens on a normal
kernel stack. If we enable CONFIG_PREEMPT, this will need to be rethought.
The IRQ stack for CPU 0 is declared in the same way as the initial kernel
stack. IRQ stacks for other CPUs will be allocated dynamically.
An extra field was added to the thread_info structure. When the active
thread_info is copied to the IRQ stack, the real_thread field points back to
the original stack. This makes it easy to tell where to copy the thread_info
struct back to when the interrupt is finished. It also serves as a marker of
a nested interrupt. It is NULL for the first interrupt on the stack, and
non-NULL for any nested interrupts.
Care is taken to behave correctly if a second interrupt comes in when the
thread_info structure is being set up or taken down. I could just disable
interrupts here, but I don't feel like giving up any of the performance gained
by not flipping signals on and off.
If an interrupt comes in during these critical periods, the handler can't run
because it has no idea what shape the stack is in. So, it sets a bit for its
signal in a global mask and returns. The outer handler will deal with this
signal itself.
Atomicity is had with xchg. A nested interrupt that needs to bail out will
xchg its signal mask into pending_mask and repeat in case yet another
interrupt hit at the same time, until the mask stabilizes.
The outermost interrupt will set up the thread_info and xchg a zero into
pending_mask when it is done. At this point, nested interrupts will look at
->real_thread and see that no setup needs to be done. They can just continue
normally.
Similar care needs to be taken when exiting the outer handler. If another
interrupt comes in while it is copying the thread_info, it will drop a bit
into pending_mask. The outer handler will check this and if it is non-zero,
will loop, set up the stack again, and handle the interrupt.

Some tidying of the irq code before introducing irq stacks. Mostly
style fixes, but the timer handler calls the timer code directly
rather than going through the generic sig_handler_common_skas.

Now that we have UM_THREAD_SIZE, we can replace the calculations in
user-space code (an earlier patch took care of the kernel side of the
house).

Replaced task_protections with stack_protections since they do the same
thing, and task_protections was misnamed anyway.
This needs THREAD_SIZE, so that's imported via common-offsets.h
Also tidied up the code in the vicinity.

Allow a pcap device to be assigned a MAC on the command line. They don't
really need one, but it is handy to be able to do when your distro assigns a
new ethernet device whenever it sees a new MAC.

Some network device cleanup.
When setup_etheraddr found a globally valid MAC being assigned to an
interface, it went ahead and used it rather than assigning a random MAC like
the other cases do. This isn't really an error like the others, but it seems
consistent to make it behave the same.
We were getting some duplicate kfree() in the error case in eth_configure
because platform_device_unregister frees buffers that the error cases
following tried to free again.
The pcap initialization routine wasn't doing the proper printk of its
information, causing a printk of the first part of that line to be
unterminated by a newline.
The pcap code had a bunch of style violations, which are now fixed.
pcap_setup wasn't returning false when it detected an unrecognized
option.
The printks in pcap_user all got UM_KERN_BLAH prepended to their
format strings.
pcap_remove now checks for a non-NULL pcap structure before it calls
pcap_close.

The ever-vigilant users of linode.com noticed that an idle 2.6 UML has a
persistent load average of ~.4.
It turns out that because the UML timer handler processed softirqs before
actually delivering the tick, the tick was counted in the context of the idle
thread about half the time.
