<title>mm: allow VM_FAULT_RETRY for multiple times</title>

<content type='text'>
The idea comes from a discussion between Linus and Andrea [1].

Before this patch we only allow a page fault to retry once.  We achieved
this by clearing the FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY flag when doing
handle_mm_fault() the second time.  This was majorly used to avoid
unexpected starvation of the system by looping over forever to handle the
page fault on a single page.  However that should hardly happen, and after
all for each code path to return a VM_FAULT_RETRY we'll first wait for a
condition (during which time we should possibly yield the cpu) to happen
before VM_FAULT_RETRY is really returned.

This patch removes the restriction by keeping the FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY
flag when we receive VM_FAULT_RETRY.  It means that the page fault handler
now can retry the page fault for multiple times if necessary without the
need to generate another page fault event.  Meanwhile we still keep the
FAULT_FLAG_TRIED flag so page fault handler can still identify whether a
page fault is the first attempt or not.

Then we'll have these combinations of fault flags (only considering
ALLOW_RETRY flag and TRIED flag):

  - ALLOW_RETRY and !TRIED:  this means the page fault allows to
                             retry, and this is the first try

  - ALLOW_RETRY and TRIED:   this means the page fault allows to
                             retry, and this is not the first try

  - !ALLOW_RETRY and !TRIED: this means the page fault does not allow
                             to retry at all

  - !ALLOW_RETRY and TRIED:  this is forbidden and should never be used

In existing code we have multiple places that has taken special care of
the first condition above by checking against (fault_flags &amp;
FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY).  This patch introduces a simple helper to detect
the first retry of a page fault by checking against both (fault_flags &amp;
FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY) and !(fault_flag &amp; FAULT_FLAG_TRIED) because now
even the 2nd try will have the ALLOW_RETRY set, then use that helper in
all existing special paths.  One example is in __lock_page_or_retry(), now
we'll drop the mmap_sem only in the first attempt of page fault and we'll
keep it in follow up retries, so old locking behavior will be retained.

This will be a nice enhancement for current code [2] at the same time a
supporting material for the future userfaultfd-writeprotect work, since in
that work there will always be an explicit userfault writeprotect retry
for protected pages, and if that cannot resolve the page fault (e.g., when
userfaultfd-writeprotect is used in conjunction with swapped pages) then
we'll possibly need a 3rd retry of the page fault.  It might also benefit
other potential users who will have similar requirement like userfault
write-protection.

GUP code is not touched yet and will be covered in follow up patch.

Although there're tons of arch-specific page fault handlers, most of them
are still sharing the same initial value of the page fault flags.  Say,
merely all of the page fault handlers would allow the fault to be retried,
and they also allow the fault to respond to SIGKILL.

Let's define a default value for the fault flags to replace those initial
page fault flags that were copied over.  With this, it'll be far easier to
introduce new fault flag that can be used by all the architectures instead
of touching all the archs.

In external or inf-cpu time-travel mode, ndelay/udelay currently
just waste CPU time since the simulation time doesn't advance.
Implement them properly in this case.

Note that the "if (time_travel_mode == ...)" parts compile out
if CONFIG_UML_TIME_TRAVEL_SUPPORT isn't set, time_travel_mode is
defined to TT_MODE_OFF in that case.

This implements synchronized time-travel mode which - using a special
application on a unix socket - lets multiple machines take part in a
time-travelling simulation together.

The protocol for the unix domain socket is defined in the new file
include/uapi/linux/um_timetravel.h.

<title>um: time-travel: Rewrite as an event scheduler</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4b786e24ca80a492736b359b3d1a8d07612a78e5</id>
<content type='text'>
Instead of tracking all the various timer configurations,
modify the time-travel mode to have an event scheduler and
use a timer event on the scheduler to handle the different
timer configurations.

This doesn't change the function right now, but it prepares
the code for having different kinds of events in the future
(i.e. interrupts coming from other devices that are part of
co-simulation.)

While at it, also move time_travel_sleep() to time.c to
reduce the externally visible API surface.

Also, we really should mark time-travel as incompatible with
SMP, even if UML doesn't support SMP yet.

Finally, I noticed a bug while developing this - if we move
time forward due to consuming time while reading the clock,
we might move across the next event and that would cause us
to go backward in time when we then handle that event. Fix
that by invoking the whole event machine in this case, but
in order to simplify this, make reading the clock only cost
something when interrupts are not disabled. Otherwise, we'd
have to hook into the interrupt delivery machinery etc. and
that's somewhat intrusive.

This file isn't really shared, it's only used on the kernel side,
not on the user side. Remove the include from the user-side and
move the file to a better place.

While at it, rename it to time-internal.h, it's not really just
timers but all kinds of things related to timekeeping.

<title>um: Fix overlapping ELF segments when statically linked</title>

<content type='text'>
When statically linked, the .text section in UML kernels is not page
aligned, causing it to share a page with the executable headers. As
.text and the executable headers have different permissions, this causes
the kernel to wish to map the same page twice (once as headers with r--
permissions, once as .text with r-x permissions), causing a segfault,
and a nasty message printed to the host kernel's dmesg:

"Uhuuh, elf segment at 0000000060000000 requested but the memory is
mapped already"

By aligning the .text to a page boundary (as in the dynamically linked
version in dyn.lds.S), there is no such overlap, and the kernel runs
correctly.

console_drivers is kind of (semi-)private variable to the console code.
Direct use of it make us stuck with it being exported here and there.
Reduce use of console_drivers by replacing it with for_each_console().

Conversion rule is:

	unlocked_ioctl	=&gt; proc_ioctl

	xxx		=&gt; proc_xxx
