avoid having to allocate space in the 'stackgap'
- which is very LWP unfriendly.
The additional code for non-emulation namei() is trivial, the reduction for
the emulations is massive.
The vnode for a processes emulation root is saved in the cwdi structure
during process exec.
If the emulation root the TRYEMULROOT flag are set, namei() will do an initial
search for absolute pathnames in the emulation root, if that fails it will
retry from the normal root.
".." at the emulation root will always go to the real root, even in the middle
of paths and when expanding symlinks.
Absolute symlinks found using absolute paths in the emulation root will be
relative to the emulation root (so /usr/lib/xxx.so -> /lib/xxx.so links
inside the emulation root don't need changing).
If the root of the emulation would be returned (for an emulation lookup), then
the real root is returned instead (matching the behaviour of emul_lookup,
but being a cheap comparison here) so that programs that scan "../.."
looking for the root dircetory don't loop forever.
The target for symbolic links is no longer mangled (it used to get the
CHECK_ALT_xxx() treatment, so could get /emul/xxx prepended).
CHECK_ALT_xxx() are no more. Most of the change is deleting them, and adding
TRYEMULROOT to the flags to NDINIT().
A lot of the emulation system call stubs could now be deleted.
pointers to and from 64bit kernel pointers. Instead use the defines
NETBSD32PTR64(p32) to read a 32bit pointer and (the new) NETBSD32PTR32(p32,p64)
to write a 32bit pointer throughout.
The 32bit pointer is now a struct to enforce the above.
amd64 (with linux emul) and sparc64 will both compile (when the arch stuff
goes in soon), and amd64 still runs some i386 binaries.
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.
- 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.
