Jeff Dike 1d7173baf2 [PATCH] uml: implement soft interrupts
This patch implements soft interrupts.  Interrupt enabling and disabling no
longer map to sigprocmask.  Rather, a flag is set indicating whether
interrupts may be handled.  If a signal comes in and interrupts are marked as
OK, then it is handled normally.  If interrupts are marked as off, then the
signal handler simply returns after noting that a signal needs handling.  When
interrupts are enabled later on, this pending signals flag is checked, and the
IRQ handlers are called at that point.

The point of this is to reduce the cost of local_irq_save et al, since they
are very much more common than the signals that they are enabling and
disabling.  Soft interrupts produce a speed-up of ~25% on a kernel build.

Subtleties -

    UML uses sigsetjmp/siglongjmp to switch contexts.  sigsetjmp has been
    wrapped in a save_flags-like macro which remembers the interrupt state at
    setjmp time, and restores it when it is longjmp-ed back to.

    The enable_signals function has to loop because the IRQ handler
    disables interrupts before returning.  enable_signals has to return with
    signals enabled, and signals may come in between the disabling and the
    return to enable_signals.  So, it loops for as long as there are pending
    signals, ensuring that signals are enabled when it finally returns, and
    that there are no pending signals that need to be dealt with.

Gennady Sharapov abaf69773d [PATCH] uml: move libc-dependent skas process handling
The serial UML OS-abstraction layer patch (um/kernel/skas dir).

This moves all systemcalls from skas/process.c file under os-Linux dir and
join skas/process.c and skas/process_kern.c files.

Bodo Stroesser 2c332a2513 [PATCH] uml: change interface to boot_timer_handler
Current implementation of boot_timer_handler isn't usable for s390.  So I
changed its name to do_boot_timer_handler, taking (struct sigcontext *)sc as
argument.  do_boot_timer_handler is called from new boot_timer_handler() in
arch/um/os-Linux/signal.c, which uses the same mechanisms as other signal
handler to find out sigcontext pointer.

Bodo Stroesser 51a6b0c59a [PATCH] uml: s390 preparation, sighandler interface abstraction
s390 passes parameters in registers.  So the only safe way to find out the
address of signal context, error-address and error-type (trap_no), which are
passed to signal handlers as parameters, is to declare these parameters.

So I inserted an subarch-specific macro which holds the declaration of
parameters for signal handlers.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
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.

Let it rip!
