I forgot to mention that newer libcs won't boot on 2.6 UMLs until I get
[gs]et_thread_area implemented.  Older libcs are fine, as are new libcs on
2.4 UMLs.

Disable CONFIG_HIGHMEM, then it does build.

I have a few more questions:

 * what is the status of kernel modules in 2.6 kernels?  It doesn't
   build without patching the kernel: One issue is some elf relocation
   defines being missing (R_386_32, R_386_PC32), making
   apply_relocate() fail to build.  The other issue is
   apply_alternatives() not being defined, making the final link fail.
   Trying to fix that, booting and trying to load modules leads to
   kernel panic.

 * Any known issues with 2.6.1 kernels?  Tried to apply the 2.6.0
   patch to 2.6.1 and fixup the one reject in arch/um/kernel/irq.c
   manually and the fs/proc/task_mmu.c build failure with a patch
   fished from this list.  But the resulting kernel fails to boot up
   the system.  I see the init start banner, then it stops.  Looking
   whats up with gdb shows that the fork syscall seems to hang in a
   endless loop, pagefaulting at the same address over and over ...

Fewer, now that I got the 2.6.1 patch out.  UML lacks [gs]et_thread_area
still, so 2.6 UMLs won't boot new libcs.

Actually, I am no longer convinced the lack of these syscalls cause the
problem directly; I think there is something else in recent glibcs that
cause the kernel to hang, at least in tt mode, though it is probably
related.

At last picking just the module fixes patch doesn't work for me, it
doesn't apply.  There are probably some nasty patch dependencies.

IIRC there's no dependency by that patch onto others; however that patch was 
onto old -test9 Jeff Dike's release, and there are some easy thing to fix (I 
hope to update everything today).

Maybe, but it's a definite problem.  However, the segfaults people were seeing
with 2.6.1 may be gone since that was a separate problem which is fixed in
the 2.6.1 patch.

The segfaults are gone for me, 2.6.1 with the new uml patch boots just fine.

I have been trying to debug the problem with tt mode and very recent
glibcs, and what seems to be happening is that early on in the glibc start
up code for /sbin/init (after 3 syscalls), there is a segv signal;
handle_page_fault returns -14, probably becuase the fault address
(beffe018) is bogus, but the segfault seems to repeat endlessly. I am not
sure if this is a glibc or a uml issue, or something else.

I saw something like that during a glibc upgrade going from stable to testing
in tt mode.  Running it in skas mode avoided the problem.  I never figured
out what was happening.

What do you mean new libcs? Is there any particular version-number you 
can confirm to work/not work?
What about NPTL?

Do the apply_alternatives + constants silly fix posted 1000 times and compile 
without CONFIG_MODVERSIONS. Then you don't get the kernel panic, and 
everything works.

I've succesfully built kernel with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS, but *maybe* the 
Makefile patch is needed for that (since files are post-processed with 
genksyms). However, I have fixed some other things which could interact with 
this, especially for the link scripts.

Did you actually get modules to work?  I was under the impression you hadn't
got that far yet, just getting UML to build with CONFIG_MODULES endabled.

First (answering the other message): thanks for starting merging them!

Modules work perfectly without Modversions (and even /proc/kallsyms works 
well); with the USER_OBJS thing even modversions works perfectly, even if you 
don't like it (but I hadn't been clear about the fact the kernel runs with 
it).

If you are interested in it, I could do a trivial change (i.e. adding to each 
makefile include arch/um/Makefile.special) to avoid changing the whole 
Kbuild.

I do remember your discussion about the os- change, but it's a lot longer and 
I didn't start it. Also, I must check exactly the API to create (i.e. how to 
abstract os-specific details, which is hard since I've never programmed on 
Cygwin or Freebsd). And also, if you assume that a file handle is an integer 
(which is true only on POSIX), why do you wrap open inside os_open_file 
(which always works on POSIX)? The same question could go for other calls.

I don't, but I'm leaving it as an int for now since that works.  The interfaces
can be tweaked in the future, so a descriptor may become some sort of void *
cookie to handle OSes with non-integer file handles.

What I'm trying to do now is get some sort of reasonable approximation to
a decent OS abstraction layer.

hm, are you sure this is the reason why they dont boot? At least the
ones in Fedora fall back to LinuxThreads if set_thread_area is -ENOSYS. 
Old 2.4 kernels work just fine - UML ought to work fine too.

(libcs built without compatibility wont fall back. Are there such
distros?)

[uml-devel] uml 2.6.1 kbuild simplifications

[Ingo Molnar]

i've attached a few makefile simplifications/cleanups below, against
your 2.6.1 UML tree. The UML build will be less verbose as well.

parallel make still does not work though - doing 'make -j10' after a
'make clean' fails. Couldnt figure out a solution, the dependencies are
really nasty.

Yeah, it's a mess.  It has sort of evolved over time, with local fixes adding

i think kbuild needs to be improved too in some cases. Eg. another
problem: lib-y could be used to clean up munmap_fin.o library linking in
arch/um/kernel/tt/Makefile, but unlike host-progs, the CFLAGS_ override
is not good enough to replace the normal flags with $(UNMAP_CFLAGS). The
dual compilation space ('user code' and 'kernel code' compilation)
within UML is not yet fully expressable via kbuild.

In my opinion, it doesn't need to be.  BlaisorBlade and I have been having
an argument about it.  

He thinks kbuild should support it.

I consider it to be an artifact of UML containing intermingled OS-dependent
and OS-independent code.  With the OS-dependent code separated out into 
arch/um/os, the rest of UML becomes nice, normal kernel code.  The stuff
under arch/um/os is then pure userspace code, and I have no problem with
sticking some special CFLAGS mangler in the Makefile (or Makefiles) there.

Then, the code, and the special make magic that it needs are all in one
place, and we don't need to fiddle kbuild.

No, I'm not.  But I am seeing -ENOSYS from one of [gs]et_thread_area right 
before things go haywire.  But I haven't looked at it closely enough to
see if that's the real problem.

2.4 UMLs work fine with these libcs.  I had been assuming (without any 
evidence) that there was some other capability check (like uname), and 
libc gets horribly confused when it sees a 2.6 kernel that doesn't have
the thread_info stuff.

If the compatibility check is -ENOSYS from one of those syscalls, then
this theory goes right out the window, and something else is wrong in UML.

ok, i talked to Ulrich, and it turns out that ld.so in Fedora uses the
set_tid_address() syscall to find out whether the kernel has NPTL or not
[and thus whether to use the TLS glibc or the standard one]. In UML,
this particular syscall happens to work. So i'd suggest the patch below. 
(i'll test it soon.) Once the TLS syscalls are available in UML this
syscall can be turned back on.

unfortunately, this is only the case if the kernel is below 2.5.69 and
has 'nptl' in the uname. Otherwise ld.so assumes full NPTL support.

so the only compatible solution seems to be to implement
set/get_thread_area() within UML. Since UML itself is linked statically,
which causes the non-TLS glibc to be linked, i think it should be safe
to just shadow the TLS descriptors in the UML process and call
set_thread_area() for every new thread that has TLS descriptors not
equal to the previous thread's TLS descriptors.

but wrt. LinuxThreads - it doesnt seem UML skas mode implements LDT
state properly - does it?

I have found in tt mode with an FC1 image the system hangs after 3
syscalls (uname, brk, open), before any set/get_thread_area calls, so I
suspect there is another problem. The hang consists of repeated segfault
signals with fault address (beffe018) which returns -EFAULT. Is there any
setup for tls/nptl normally done by the kernel that might be missing in
UML, such as allocating some high up memory?

/proc/????/maps showed one region in this area, but it was higher up.
Interestingly if I try this with a RedHat 9 glibc with tls, the address
it hangs on is very low (0x000000c3 from memory).

I now know where 0xbeffe018 comes from. The endless segfault is triggered
from line 1256 of elf/rtld.c in the glibc code (1252-1258 are shown from
RedHat's glibc-2.3.2-101.4.i686.rpm package)

#ifdef NEED_DL_SYSINFO
  if (GL(dl_sysinfo_dso) != NULL)
    {
      /* We have a prelinked DSO preloaded by the system.  */
      GL(dl_sysinfo) = GL(dl_sysinfo_dso)->e_entry;

      /* Do an abridged version of the work _dl_map_object_from_fd would do


GL(dl_sysinfo_dso) is _dl_sysinfo_dso, _rtld_local._dl_sysinfo_dso or
_rtld_global._dl_sysinfo_dso according to context

_dl_sysinfo_dso=0 is at 0xa0603f50
_rtld_local._dl_sysinfo_dso=0xbeffe000 is at 0x40015454
_rtld_global._dl_sysinfo_dso=0xbeffe000 is at 0x40015454

so I am guessing that _rtld_{local,global}._dl_sysinfo_dso should have
been initialized from _dl_sysinfo_dso but wasn't. This could be a glibc
bug, though I haven't looked closely enough to be sure.

Further checking shows that _rtld_global._dl_sysinfo_dso is set from the
value of AT_SYSINFO_EHDR passed by the kernel. So UML tt mode is broken
because it doesn't seem to pass this value. However glibc is also broken,
because it should set _rtld_global._dl_sysinfo_dso=NULL by default in case
AT_SYSINFO_EHDR isn't passed to it by the kernel.

Anyway, I intend to test whether this is the problem tomorrow, either by
recompiling glibc (it is a one-line fix), or possibly using a hex editor
to hack the existing ld.so.

Actually it turns out glibc is innocent as it implicitly initializes the
value I thought it wasn't initializing, and we are passing it a value for
AT_SYSINFO_EHDR for it to use for its vsyscall stuff, but we don't ever
allocate the associated memory. A possible workaround which seems to
work (but I have too much debugging turned on to be sure yet) is to set
AT_SYSINFO_EHDR to be NULL in include/asm/archparam-i386.h, though clearly
the ultimate aim would be to get the vsyscall stuff working properly.

Yup, that looks right to me.  I've set VSYSCALL_BASE to NULL in my tree.
Can you do the same and see if that fixes anything?

Yes, that fixes it (I tried a similar fix by setting AT_SYSINFO_EHDR
directly to NULL, both work).

yeah - this makes sense. This reminds me that i had similar problems
with exec-shield (which too disabled vsyscalls).

does skas mode work for you? I tried a FC1 image today and even with
this change, in tt mode, it gets stuck pretty early into the bootup (but
not in init like before).

in tt mode, booting up into /bin/bash seems to work fine and simple
commands work.

in skas mode, booting up into /bin/bash works but the first /bin/ls (or
any other process) again gets stuck (infinite pagefaults or #GPF's again
i suspect).

I have a fully booting FC1 image (from a slightly hacked anaconda) with
this patch and an additional one to avoid the exec-shield host problems.
It still crashes with sleeping process got sig 11 when I try to shut it
down.

The only skas host kernel was one using an early version of your combo
patch, which was fine when I tested a combo patched uml, but recent
mainline umls panic. I probably need a later version of your combo patch,
which I might try tonight.

interesting. The tree i have now is 2.6.2-mm based, which has Jeff's
latest patch, plus the bits from the combo patch to enable host-skas3. 
What anaconda change did you have to do, and how did you create the
image? I got the Fedora image by installing it on a box and then copying
all files to an empty image.

Basically I hacked isys.py so that it knew about uml disks, then did a
network install. See

mind sending the archparam-i386.h diff you have? I commented out the
creation of the two vsyscall auxiliary entries in ARCH_DLINFO - is that
enough?

(minor nit: this change will still crash ELF coredumping.) but, same
problem with this approach too - %gs is lost magically across the first
fork() attempted by the guest userspace, in skas mode.

the crash here seems to be that after fork() the contents of GS are lost
and the next %gs access segfaults due to the #GPF. (which UML mistakes
for a pagefault and thus gets into an infinite loop.)

if i boot in via init=/bin/bash and do eg a 'exec /bin/ls' then this
crash doesnt happen, so it's clearly fork() somehow not inheriting the
LDT setup properly. (which could very well be due to my LDT hackery in
the 2.6 host-skas3 patch.)

while glibc seems to be innocent, this is clearly triggered by the TLS
code in glibc. Older glibc works fine.

tt mode seems to work on the other hand - and it doesnt use the LDT op
in /proc/mm. So newer host-skas3 is apparently broken to a certain
degree.

ok, ignore this crash for the time being - it's probably caused by one
of my changes. I'm investigating it.

found the bug - it was caused by my MM_COPY_SEGMENTS 'optimization'. I
misunderstood the purpose of MM_COPY_SEGMENTS: in skas mode it's needed
to copy the LDTs from an existing mm to the new mm, but the 'old mm'
context is not the current task.

No.  In tt mode, that's in the middle (close to the end, really) of the UML
kernel.  In this case, the process stack ends at 0xa0000000.

This is what befuddled me during my libc upgrade in tt mode.  I couldn't see
what was inducing userspace to access memory up there.

So, it uses uname to figure out if the kernel has NPTL support?

In tt mode, this is true.  A skas-only UML will be dynamic, but then
userspace is in a separate process, and someone was thoughtful enough to
add PTRACE_[GS]ET_THREAD_INFO.  So, this will be fine in either case.

The problem is on 2.4.  I suspect that this can't be emulated on 2.4 hosts,
so a 2.6 UML can't boot a NPTL system on a 2.4 host.  This is annoying since
host version independence is a nice thing about UML.

As far as I know, it does.  LinuxThreads was introduced in RH8 or so, I think,
and RH8 filesystems have run in UML for a long time.

yes. It goes roughly like this: if the kernel is a 2.4 one and the uname
string [extraversion] includes 'nptl' [and the first 'n' letter has to
be nptl's 'n' ...] then ld.so will try the TLS glibc. On 2.6 kernels,
glibc assumes that all the NPTL functionality is available. [the precise
rules are in the ld.so patches that Fedora's glibc srpm has.]

basically the goal was to 1) be able to boot stock 2.4 kernels and have
NPTL disabled, 2) be able to boot stock 2.6 kernels and have NPTL
enabled, 3) boot 2.4 kernels with the NPTL backport and have NPTL
enabled. (there are also tons of other checks in glibc itself that
selects between various versions of syscalls, eg. modify_ldt has
variants too. LD_ASSUME_KERNEL is taken into account as well.) It's not
simple.

(There was a failed attempt to get API versioning into the kernel to
clean up such interactions - but nothing really good was written so we
stuck with the above mechanism.)

Thanks for that (it was really needed). However, about the various fixes I 
built, there is a lot of that that should go in. Go here:

http://web.tiscali.it/no-redirect-tiscali/blaisorblade/linux/archives/UML/2.6.1-v1/

I've updated all the stuff that was there. You claimed you didn't want some 
patches, now I've organized things so they can be easily excluded. Do *not* 
use the combo.

This are some brief patches descriptions (in the 00-README).
C-03 (trivial, removes smplock.h which went away)
C-04 (sys-i386/fault.c shouldn't even compile for now, as the exception 
handling has had a syntactic change)
G-01 (one-liner for SELinux build, from M A Young)
G-02 (makes /proc/kallsyms work well and cleanups link scripts)

H-01 (consider that for PCAP linking; you claim in Makefile comments kbuild 
doesn't allow to link -lpcap, that show it's possible).
H-02 (when configuration is changed, the whole UML is rebuilt again because 
all files depend on uml-config.h which depends on all configuration. Trivial 
fix).

Module support fix is trivial, and does not depend on anything controversial, 
until you don't enable CONFIG_MODVERSIONS. So apply the patch. I've also 
infos (and some code) about fixing the panic you get on startup with it 
enabled.

The patches you mustn't apply from there are the H-03 and H-04, since H-03 is 
the USER_OBJ thing and the H-04 depends on it (even if is logically 
independent).

the ones below are needed too in addition, to make the x86 kernel
compile again. (the patch also adds those few things still missing for
host-skas3 support to work on x86.)

[uml-devel] uml-patch-2.6.1-1: VFS: Cannot open root device "ubd0" or unknown-block(0, 0)

[Ingo Molnar]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 941 bytes --]


the 2.6.1 UML snapshots do not seem to boot FS images that worked
before:

 NET: Registered protocol family 1
 NET: Registered protocol family 17
 Initializing software serial port version 1
  /dev/ubd/disc0: unknown partition table
 Initializing stdio console driver
 VFS: Cannot open root device "ubd0" or unknown-block(0,0)
 Please append a correct "root=" boot option
 Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

this is with 2.6.1 + uml-patch-2.6.1-1. I've attached the .config. 
Despite the kernel's message, the config has UBD support included:

 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_UBD=y

the ubd symbols are in the kernel:

 $ grep ubd System.map  | grep open
 00017d84 t ubd_open_dev
 00018614 t ubd_open
 00019725 T open_ubd_file

so it ought to work, but doesnt.

same FS image works fine with the older 2.6.0 uml combo patches. Host
kernel version is irrelevant to this problem - tried a number of 2.4 and
2.6 kernels.

	Ingo

ah, found it. This command-line used to work:

 ./linux ubd0=/tmp/uml.img root=/dev/ubd0 mem=64m init=/bin/bash umid=uml1

but now it has to be /dev/ubd/0, not /dev/ubd0.

You shouldn't need any root= any more if you are booting from ubd0.

Actually, I got it from u-m-l-d; it was originally by someone else,
possibly Russell Coker.

Uhm, no.  Applied and builds for me, but doesn't work, insmod
complains about *plenty* of unknown symbols.

G-02-LinkScriptCleanup.patch removes various ksymtab stuff from
common.lds.S (which is in the RODATA #define these days), that one
looks like it could be needed too to make modules work ...

It works for me, maybe either you didn't apply some patch or a make clean 
ARCH=um is needed.

Those repeated sections are harmless, only ugly; the big change is for 
/proc/kallsyms. However, modules worked without that (it helps also for 
modversions, but not completely: with that I get no panic but versions 
mismatch, and I know why).

I've not been very careful in testing separate patches one-by-one. I've tested 
the whole set minus the H-03 and H-04 one, but not together.

No: removing those sections made modules work for me. (behaviour may
depend on the binutils version through ...).

Re: [uml-devel] uml-patch-2.6.0

[James W McMechan]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1501 bytes --]

For a while I had a similar problem where IRQ 14? would
trigger and attempt to add_timer_randomness before the
random driver's _init section had been run so it would go
into one of the infinite segfault loops on a un-initialized
variable, I just added a check on the pointer being
set, and returned if it was not.  This only seems to happen
on faster machines 1G PIII or 1.4G Athlon my 200MHz
Pentium MMXes at home don't show this effect.
I am normally paranoid about un-initialized vars for just
these sort of reasons, it was a pain to track down, but
I had plenty of time on a new years day cross country
flight to hunt for it.

I just fixed it for my use by a simple extra check, not calling it
would of course be better but I did not care where the fast path
was, slow but working is much better than fast and wedged.
I think the base problem is that yet another assumption is being
broken by UML or the random device
or the magic init order is wrong again :(

likely the patch is mangled but here it is.
