both NPTL and old linuxthreads behaviour depending on process needs.
Apply to exit_group(), getpid() and getppid() to share them between
compat linux32 (non NPTL) and compat linux (NPTL) on amd64.
ok by manu and christos
Members of the thread group must die without reporting to the parent and
without going to zombie stage. We do that by reparenting to init before
catching a SIGKILL. The parent will not see the child death.
The thread group leader must report the exit status, even if it exits
because of another thread calling exit_group(). We do that by storing the
exit status in struct linux_emuldata_shared, and the exit hook has the
duty of setting struct proc's p_xstat for the thread group leader.
2) For exit/fork/exec hooks, move the NPTL specific code to separate functions
that are shared between COMPAT_LINUX and COMPAT_LINUX32
3) Fix LINUX_CLONE_PARENT_SETTID semantics
threads in a processes and kill them properly. The code is a bit too
complicated, but I could not find a simplier way of dealing with it
- Change getpid() and getppid() semantics to match what Linux does,
and implement gettid(). In the Linux kernel, threads are implemnted
as plain old processes. A thread group is just a set of processes,
with the parent called leader. Thread ID, which are returned by gettid(),
are just the PID of the plain old processes, and getpid() returns the
PID of the thread group leader.
- Remove struct linux32_emuldata. COMPAT_LINUX32 uses a lot of COMPAT_LINUX
code, where a struct linux_emuldata is assumed. By having distinct emuldata
structure with different sizes and layouts, we caused kernel memory
corruptions.
- Fix setprioriry() and getpriority()
Thanks to Nicolas Joly for tracking down the problem and providing me the
hardware to fix them.
share same 'break' value used for brk()/sbrk(), otherwise application SIGSEGVs
quickly once different threads try to adjust data segment size
this fixes linux Mozilla crashes with SuSE 9.1 libraries, and possibly
other linux applications using real threads
implement only the kernel version getting entries.
- make the signal conversion functions consistent; dest is arg 1.
- make linux_fakedev deal with block and char devices differently.
- add linux_sys_ugetrlimit, and flesh out the regular get/setrlimit so
that they work properly.
- add linux_mmap2 [untested].
- bump kernel to 2.4.18, and make the date be valentine's day :-)
- linux_sys_*stat64 family was totally busted. Fix it.
tested only on i386.
Status:
gdb, telnet, work
jdk-1.4.0 extractor works, jdk still coredumps.
