sys_stat() and friends, instead use do_sys_stat() and do_sys_fstat()
that write the answer into a kernel buffer (on stack) that can be
converted to the correct form and written the userspace.
I've test compiled a few kernels, and tested i386 netbsd1.6 ls.
Given I think I've fixed some bugs, it might be 50-50 with new ones.
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
was "correct" by luck - we don't have any other file type whose S_IF* bits
in sys/stat.h overlap with S_IFIFO.
Originally discovered by Paul Stoeber in OpenBSD.
- Fix shmat return value on amd64: it uses no black magic with retval[0]
- Fix integer overflows in sysinfo
- Implement sysinfo, mmap2, sched_getparam, sched_getscheduler, mremap,
and madvise in COMPAT_LINUX32
- Fix improper types used in setgroups16/getgroups16
- Implement mmap2 for COMPAT_LINUX32
- Ifdef debug messages by DEBUG_LINUX
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
least Linux 2.4.31, Irix 6.5.20 and Solaris 10) use EAFNOSUPPORT.
Only the Linux emulation has been tested.
XXX somebody should audit the other emulations...
EPROTONOSUPPORT instead of EAFNOSUPPORT.

XXX: revisit this at another time.
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.
- struct timeval time is gone
time.tv_sec -> time_second
- struct timeval mono_time is gone
mono_time.tv_sec -> time_uptime
- access to time via
{get,}{micro,nano,bin}time()
get* versions are fast but less precise
- support NTP nanokernel implementation (NTP API 4)
