Wh
This commit adds memory operations on UML under !MMU environment.
Some part of the original UML code relying on CONFIG_MMU are excluded
from compilation when !CONFIG_MMU. Additionally, generic functions such as
uaccess, futex, memcpy/strnlen/strncpy can be used as user- and
kernel-space share the
This splits the memory, process related code with common and MMU
specific parts in order to avoid ifdefs in .c file and duplication
between MMU and !MMU.

As userspace on UML/!MMU also need to configure %fs register when it is
running to correctly access thread structure, host syscalls implemented
in os-Linux drivers may be puzzled when they are called. Thus it has to
configure %fs register via arch_prctl(SET_FS) on every host syscalls.

The file arch/x86/um/asm/module.h is equivalent to the definition of
asm-generic. Thus this commit cleans up to use it.

This commit updates the behavior of signal handling under !MMU
environment. It adds the alignment code for signal frame as the frame
is used in userspace as-is.
It also adds the follow up routine for SIGSEGV as a signal delivery runs
in the same stack frame while we have to avoid endless SIGSEGV.
This commit introduces an entry point of syscall interface for !MMU
mode. It uses an entry function, __kernel_vsyscall, a kernel-wide global
symbol accessible from any locations.
Although it isn't in the scope of this commit, it can be also exposed
via vdso image which is directly accessible from
This commit tries to display MMU/!MMU mode from the output of uname(2)
so that users can distinguish which mode of UML is running right now.

This commit adds syscall hook with seccomp.
Using seccomp raises SIGSYS to UML process, which is captured in the
(UML) kernel, then jumps to the syscall entry point, __kernel_vsyscall,
to hook the original syscall instructions.
The SIGSYS signal is raised upon the execution from uml_reserved and
Since ptrace facility isn't used under !MMU of UML, there is different
code path to invoke processes/threads; there are no external process
used, and need to properly configure some of registers (fs segment
register for TLS, etc) on every context switch, etc.
Signals aren't delivered in non-ptrace
This is a series of patches of nommu arch addition to UML. It would
be nice to ask comments/opinions on this.
There are still several limitations/issues which we already found;
here is the list of those issues.
- memory mapped by loadable modules are not distinguished from
userspace memory.
-
This commit adds an initial documentation for !MMU mode of UML.

As UML supports CONFIG_MMU=n case, it has to use an alternate ELF
loader, FDPIC ELF loader. In this commit, we added necessary
definitions in the arch, as UML has not been used so far. It also
updates Kconfig file to use BINFMT_ELF_FDPIC under !MMU environment.

On !MMU mode, the address of vdso is accessible from userspace. This
commit implements the entry point by pointing a block of page address.
This commit also add memory permission configuration of vdso page to be
executable.
