I tracked this one to the `netbsd32_adjust_limits()' function (called
when creating a new process under compat_netbsd32), where data and
stack limits are set without checking for shared `p_limit' structure
(p_limit->p_refcnt > 1). This explain the side effect where processes
have their limits changed when a compat_netbsd32 (or compat_linux32)
program is run.
The fix is to use `dosetrlimit()' to ensure the needed copy-on-write
behaviour for shared structure.
- 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
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.
to a header where they can be shared between COMPAT_LINUX and COMPAT_LINUX32
- Add termios ioctl emulation to COMPAT_LINUX32
- Add the getcwd system call to COMPAT_LINUX32/amd64
That makes Linux's bash working with COMPAT_LINUX32.
