32974ad4907cdde6c9de612cd1b2ee0568fb9409 08-Feb-2010 Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> [IA64] Remove COMPAT_IA32 support

This has been broken since May 2008 when Al Viro killed altroot support.
Since nobody has complained, it would appear that there are no users of
this code (A plausible theory since the main OSVs that support ia64 prefer
to use the IA32-EL software emulation).

Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from
the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds.

Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id().

Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id(). In some places it makes more
sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be
addressed by later patches.

Replace TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK with TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK and define
our own set_restore_sigmask() function. This saves the costly
SMP-safe set_bit operation, which we do not need for the sigmask
flag since TIF_SIGPENDING always has to be set too.

The similar check has been added to x86_32(i386) in commit
id 83bd01024b1fdfc41d9b758e5669e80fca72df66.
So we add this check to ia64 and improve it a liitle bit in that
we need to check for stack overflow only when the signal is on stack.

This patch removes some redundant code in the function setup_sigcontext().

The registers ar.ccv,b7,r14,ar.csd,ar.ssd,r2-r3 and r16-r31 are not
restored in restore_sigcontext() when (flags & IA64_SC_FLAG_IN_SYSCALL) is
true. So we don't need to zero those variables in setup_sigcontext().

b488893a390edfe027bae7a46e9af8083e740668 19-Oct-2007 Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> pid namespaces: changes to show virtual ids to user

This is the largest patch in the set. Make all (I hope) the places where
the pid is shown to or get from user operate on the virtual pids.

The idea is:
- all in-kernel data structures must store either struct pid itself
or the pid's global nr, obtained with pid_nr() call;
- when seeking the task from kernel code with the stored id one
should use find_task_by_pid() call that works with global pids;
- when showing pid's numerical value to the user the virtual one
should be used, but however when one shows task's pid outside this
task's namespace the global one is to be used;
- when getting the pid from userspace one need to consider this as
the virtual one and use appropriate task/pid-searching functions.

At the moment, attempting to invoke a signal-handler on the normal
stack is guaranteed to fail if the stack-pointer happens not to be
16-byte aligned. This is because the signal-trampoline will attempt
to store fp-regs with stf.spill instructions, which will trap for
misaligned addresses. This isn't terribly useful behavior. It's
better to just always align the signal frame to the next lower 16-byte
boundary.

69be8f189653cd81aae5a74e26615b12871bb72e 29-Aug-2005 Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> [PATCH] convert signal handling of NODEFER to act like other Unix boxes.

It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is
not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it. I've written a
program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had
several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes,
confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled.

The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows:

1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked.

2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is
still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_
NetBSD 2.0 *).

The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux:

1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of
sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this).

2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being
handled is not blocked.

The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to
the way most Unix boxes work.

Unix boxes that were tested: DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU
3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX.

* NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The
main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like
Linux. So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that
behaves differently here with #2.

446b8831f5acf2076fa58a66286789eb84f3df2c 06-Apr-2005 David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> [IA64] fix ia64 syscall auditing

Attached is a patch against David's audit.17 kernel that adds checks
for the TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT thread flag to the ia64 system call and
signal handling code paths. The patch enables auditing of system
calls set up via fsys_bubble_down, as well as ensuring that
audit_syscall_exit() is called on return from sigreturn.

Neglecting to check for TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT at these points results in
incorrect information in audit_context, causing frequent system panics
when system call auditing is enabled on an ia64 system.

I have tested this patch and have seen no problems with it.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,

3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
