With the current timekeeping, !CONFIG_UML_REAL_TIME_CLOCK has
inconsistent behavior. Previously, gettimeofday could be (and was)
isolated from the clock ticking. Now, it's not, so when
CONFIG_UML_REAL_TIME_CLOCK is disabled, gettimeofday must progress in
lockstep with the clock, making it fully virtual.Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike

More trimming of the page fault path.
Permissions are passed around in a single int rather than one bit per
int. The permission values are copied from libc so that they can be
passed to mmap and mprotect without any further conversion.The register sets used by do_syscall_stub and copy_context_skas0 are
initialized once, at boot time, rather than once per call.wait_stub_done checks whether it is getting the signals it expects by
comparing the wait status to a mask containing bits for the signals of
interest rather than comparing individually to the signal numbers. It
also has one check for a wait failure instead of two. The caller is
expected to do the initial continue of the stub. This gets rid of an
argument and some logic. The fname argument is gone, as that can be
had from a stack trace.user_signal() is collapsed into userspace() as it is basically one or
two lines of code afterwards.The physical memory remapping stuff is gone, as it is unused.
flush_tlb_page is inlined.

Give the page fault code a specialized path. There is only one page to look
at, so there's no point in going into the general page table walking code.
There's only going to be one host operation, so there are no opportunities for
merging. So, we go straight to the pte we want, figure out what needs doing,
and do it.While I was in here, I fixed the wart where the address passed to unmap was a
void *, but an unsigned long to map and protect.This gives me just under 10% on a kernel build.

Code running on the initial UML stack can't receive or process signals since
current must be valid when IRQs are handled, and there is no current for this
stack.So, instead of using UML_LONGJMP and UML_SETJMP, which are careful to save and
restore signal state, and, as a side-effect, handle any deferred signals,
start_idle_thread must use the bare equivalents, which don't do anything with
signals.Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike

Instead of writing entire structures between UML and the I/O thread, we send
pointers. This cuts down on the amount of data being copied and possibly
allows more requests to be pending between the two.This requires that the requests be kmalloced and freed instead of living on
the stack.Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike

Send as many I/O requests to the I/O thread as possible, even though it will
still only handle one at a time. This provides an opportunity to reduce
latency by starting one request before the previous one has been finished in
the driver.Request handling is somewhat modernized by requesting sg pieces of a request
and handling them separately, finishing off the entire request after all the
pieces are done.When a request queue stalls, normally because its pipe to the I/O thread is
full, it is put on the restart list. This list is processed by starting up
the queues on it whenever there is some indication that progress might be
possible again. Currently, this happens in the driver interrupt routine.
Some requests have been finished, so there is likely to be room in the pipe
again.This almost doubles throughput when copying data between devices, but made no
noticable difference on anything else I tried.Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike

This patch converts calls in the os layer to os_{read,write}_file to calls
directly to libc read() and write() where it is clear that the I/O buffer is
in the kernel.We can do that here instead of calling os_{read,write}_file_k since we are in
libc code and can call libc directly.With the change in the calls, error handling needs to be changed to refer to
errno directly rather than the return value of the call.CATCH_EINTR wrappers were also added where needed.

This patch starts the removal of a very old, very broken piece of code. This
stems from the problem of passing a userspace buffer into read() or write() on
the host. If that buffer had not yet been faulted in, read and write will
return -EFAULT.To avoid this problem, the solution was to fault the buffer in before the
system call by touching the pages that hold the buffer by doing a copy-user of
a byte to each page. This is obviously bogus, but it does usually work, in tt
mode, since the kernel and process are in the same address space and userspace
addresses can be accessed directly in the kernel.In skas mode, where the kernel and process are in separate address spaces, it
is completely bogus because the userspace address, which is invalid in the
kernel, is passed into the system call instead of the corresponding physical
address, which would be valid. Here, it appears that this code, on every host
read() or write(), tries to fault in a random process page. This doesn't seem
to cause any correctness problems, but there is a performance impact. This
patch, and the ones following, result in a 10-15% performance gain on a kernel
build.This code can't be immediately tossed out because when it is, you can't log
in. Apparently, there is some code in the console driver which depends on
this somehow.However, we can start removing it by switching the code which does I/O using
kernel addresses to using plain read() and write(). This patch introduces
os_read_file_k and os_write_file_k for use with kernel buffers and converts
all call locations which use obvious kernel buffers to use them. These
include I/O using buffers which are local variables which are on the stack or
kmalloc-ed. Later patches will handle the less obvious cases, followed by a
mass conversion back to the original interface.Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike

If there's a segfault inside the kernel, we want a dump of the registers at
the point of the segfault, not the registers at the point of calling panic or
the last userspace registers.sig_handler_common_skas now uses a static register set in the case of a
SIGSEGV to avoid messing up the process registers if the segfault turns out to
be non-fatal.The architecture sigcontext-to-pt_regs copying code was repurposed to copy
data out of the SEGV stack frame.Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike

Tidying in preparation for the segfault register dumping patch which follows.
void * pointers are changed to union uml_pt_regs *. This makes the types
match reality, except in arch_fixup, which is changed to operate on a union
uml_pt_regs. This fixes a bug in the call from segv_handler, which passes a
union uml_pt_regs, to segv, which expects to pass a struct sigcontext to
arch_fixup.Whitespace and other style fixes.
