42d36115d2 [PATCH] uml: watchdog driver locking
Replace BKL use with a spinlock.

Also fix the control so that open doesn't return holding a lock.

d3b7f69de2 [PATCH] uml: add locking to network transport registration
The registration of host network transports needed some locking.  The
transport list itself is locked, but calls to the registration routines are
not.  This is compensated for by checking that a transport structure is not
yet on any list.

I also took the opportunity to const all fields in the transport structure
except the list, which obviously can be modified.

f28169d200 [PATCH] uml: return hotplug errors to host
I noticed that errors happening while hotplugging devices from the host were
never returned back to the mconsole client.  In some cases, success was
returned instead of even an information-free error.

This patch cleans that up by having the low-level configuration code pass back
an error string along with an error code.  At the top level, which knows
whether it is early boot time or responding to an mconsole request, the string
is printk'd or returned to the mconsole client.

There are also whitespace and trivial code cleanups in the surrounding code.

d79a580936 [PATCH] uml: console locking fixes
Clean up the console driver locking.  There are various problems here,
including sleeping under a spinlock and spinlock recursion, some of which are
fixed here.  This patch deals with the locking involved with opens and closes.
 The problem is that an mconsole request to change a console's configuration
can race with an open.  Changing a configuration should only be done when a
console isn't opened.  Also, an open must be looking at a stable
configuration.  In addition, a get configuration request must observe the same
locking since it must also see a stable configuration.  With the old locking,
it was possible for this to hang indefinitely in some cases because open would
block for a long time waiting for a connection from the host while holding the
lock needed by the mconsole request.

As explained in the long comment, this is fixed by adding a spinlock for the
use count and configuration and a mutex for the actual open and close.

606d099cdd [PATCH] tty: switch to ktermios
This is the grungy swap all the occurrences in the right places patch that
goes with the updates.  At this point we have the same functionality as
before (except that sgttyb() returns speeds not zero) and are ready to
begin turning new stuff on providing nobody reports lots of bugs

If you are a tty driver author converting an out of tree driver the only
impact should be termios->ktermios name changes for the speed/property
setting functions from your upper layers.

If you are implementing your own TCGETS function before then your driver
was broken already and its about to get a whole lot more painful for you so
please fix it 8)

Also fill in c_ispeed/ospeed on init for most devices, although the current
code will do this for you anyway but I'd like eventually to lose that extra
paranoia

8210fd2a9f [PATCH] uml: use get_random_bytes() after random pool is seeded
When the UML network driver generates random MACs for its devices, it was
possible for a number of UMLs to get the same MACs because the ethernet
initialization was done before the random pool was properly seeded.

This patch moves the initialization later so that it gets better randomness.

* mark all initcalls as static __init functions
* mark an used once little function as inline
* document that mconsole methods are all called in process context (was

2fe30a34a1 [PATCH] uml ubd driver: convert do_ubd to a boolean variable
do_ubd is actually just a boolean variable - the way it is used currently is a
leftover from the old 2.4 block layer, but it is still used; its use is

33f775eea1 [PATCH] uml ubd driver: ubd_io_lock usage fixup
Add some comments about requirements for ubd_io_lock and expand its use.

When an irq signals that the "controller" (i.e.  another thread on the host,
which does the actual requests and is the only one blocked on I/O on the host)
has done some work, we call again the request function ourselves
(do_ubd_request).

We now do that with ubd_io_lock held - that's useful to protect against
concurrent calls to elv_next_request and so on.

XXX: Maybe we shouldn't call at all the request function.  Input needed on
this.  Are we supposed to plug and unplug the queue?  That code "indirectly"
does that by setting a flag, called do_ubd, which makes the request function
return (it's a residual of 2.4 block layer interface).

Meanwhile, however, merge this patch, which improves things.

d7fb2c3865 [PATCH] uml ubd driver: change ubd_lock to be a mutex
This lock protects ubd setup and teardown, so is only used in process context;
beyond that, during such setup memory allocations must be performed and some
generic functions which can sleep must be called (such as add_disk()).  So the
only correct solution is to make it a mutex instead of a spin_lock.  No other
change is done - this lock must be acquired in different places but it's done
afterwards.

5f75a4f887 [PATCH] uml ubd driver: give better names to some functions.
To rethink locking, I needed to understand well what each function does.
While doing this I renamed some:

* ubd_close -> ubd_close_dev (since it pairs with ubd_open_dev)

* ubd_new_disk -> ubd_disk_register (it handles registration with the block
  layer - one hopes this makes clearer the difference with ubd_add())

3a51237dc1 [PATCH] uml: mconsole fixes
* when we have stop/sysrq/go, we get pt_regs of whatever executes
   mc_work_proc().  Would be better to see what we had at the time of
   interrupt that got us stop.

 * stop/stop/stop.....  will give stack overflow.  Shouldn't allow stop
   from mconsole_stop().

 * stop/stop/go leaves us inside mconsole_stop() with
	os_set_fd_block(req->originating_fd, 0);
	reactivate_fd(req->originating_fd, MCONSOLE_IRQ);
   just done by nested mconsole_stop().  Ditto.

 * once we'd seen stop, there's a period when INTR commands are executed
   out of order (as they should; we might have the things stuck badly
   enough to never reach mconsole_stop(), but still not badly enough to
   block mconsole_interrupt(); in that situation we _want_ things like
   "cad" to be executed immediately).  Once we enter monsole_stop(), all
   INTR commands will be executed in order, mixed with PROC ones.  We'd
   better let user see that such change of behaviour has happened.
   (Suggested by lennert).

 * stack footprint of monsole_interrupt() is an atrocity; AFAICS we can
   safely make struct mc_request req; static in function there.

When enabling the mmapper driver I got warnings because this "const"
miscdevice structure is passed to function as non-const pointer; unlike struct
tty_operations, however, I verified that misc_{de,}register _do_ modify their

Since the purpose of the change was to guarantee that no lock was needed, add
a comment to prove this differently.

b68e31d0eb [PATCH] const struct tty_operations
As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of
structures in order to not have to document their locking.  One of these
structures was a struct tty_operations.  In order to const it in UML
without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of
tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to
be fixed.

This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const.  In all
cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations.  As an
extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra
warnings.

53 drivers are affected.  I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in
most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the
last six months.  serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.

80c1374914 [PATCH] uml: close file descriptor leaks
Close two file descriptor leaks, one in the ubd driver and one to
/proc/mounts.  The ubd driver bug also leaked some vmalloc space.  The
/proc/mounts leak was a descriptor that was just never closed.

730760e90a [PATCH] uml: locking documentation
Some locking documentation and a cleanup.  uml_exitcode is copied into a local
before sprintf sees it, in case sprintf does anything non-atomic with it.

The rest are comments about why certain globals don't need any kind of
locking.

b10aeeef55 [PATCH] uml: mechanical tidying after random MACs change
Mechanical, hopefully non-functional changes stemming from
setup_etheraddr always succeeding now that it always assigns a MAC,
either from the command line or generated randomly:
   the test of the return of setup_etheraddr is removed, and code
dependent on it succeeding is now unconditional
   setup_etheraddr can now be made void
   struct uml_net.have_mac is now always 1, so tests of it can be
similarly removed, and uses of it can be replaced with 1
   struct uml_net.have_mac is no longer used, so it can be removed
   struct uml_net_private.have_mac is copied from struct uml_net, so
it is always 1
   tests of uml_net_private.have_mac can be removed
   uml_net_private.have_mac can now be removed
   the only call to dev_ip_addr was removed, so it can be deleted

It also turns out that setup_etheraddr is called only once, from the same
file, so it can be static and its declaration removed from net_kern.h.

Similarly, set_ether_mac is defined and called only from one file.

Finally, setup_etheraddr and set_ether_mac were moved to avoid needing forward
declarations.

f3e7ed2b61 [PATCH] uml: assign random MACs to interfaces if necessary
Assign a random MAC to an ethernet interface if one was not provided on the
command line.  This became pressing when distros started bringing interfaces
up before assigning IPs to them.  The previous pattern of assigning an IP then
bringing it up allowed the MAC to be generated from the first IP assigned.
However, once the thing is up, it's probably a bad idea to change the MAC, so
the MAC stayed initialized to fe:fd:0:0:0:0.

Now, if there is no MAC from the command line, one is generated.  We use the
microseconds from gettimeofday (20 bits), plus the low 12 bits of the pid to
seed the random number generator.  random() is called twice, with 16 bits of
each result used.  I didn't want to have to try to fill in 32 bits optimally
given an arbitrary RAND_MAX, so I just assume that it is greater than 65536
and use 16 bits of each random() return.

There is also a bit of reformatting and whitespace cleanup here.

48af05ed54 [PATCH] uml: fix proc-vs-interrupt context spinlock deadlock
This spinlock can be taken on interrupt too, so spin_lock_irq[save] must be
used.

However, Documentation/networking/netdevices.txt explains we are called with
rtnl_lock() held - so we don't need to care about other concurrent opens.
Verified also in LDD3 and by direct checking.  Also verified that the network
layer (through a state machine) guarantees us that nobody will close the
interface while it's being used.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, we must check we don't sleep with irqs disabled!!!  But anyway, this is
not news - we already can't sleep while holding a spinlock.  Who says this is
guaranted really by the present code?
