- TLS - complete
- pid/tid mangling - complete
- thread area - complete
- futexes - complete with issues
- clone() extension - complete with some possible minor issues
- mq*/timer*/clock* stuff - complete but untested and the mq* stuff is
disabled when not build as part of the kernel with native FreeBSD mq*
support (module support for this will come later)
Tested with:
- linux-firefox - works, tested
- linux-opera - works, tested
- linux-realplay - doesnt work, issue with futexes
- linux-skype - doesnt work, issue with futexes
- linux-rt2-demo - works, tested
- linux-acroread - doesnt work, unknown reason (coredump) and sometimes
issue with futexes
- various unix utilities in linux-base-gentoo3 and linux-base-fc4:
everything tried worked
On amd64 not everything is supported like on i386, the catchup is planned for
later when the remaining bugs in the new functions are fixed.
To test this new stuff, you have to run
sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16
to switch back use
sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.4.2
Don't switch while running a linux program, strange things may or may not
happen.

This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except

o Introduce private types for use in linux syscalls for two reasons:
1. establish type independence for ease in porting and,
2. provide a visual queue as to which syscalls have proper
prototypes to further cleanup the i386/alpha split.
Linuxulator types are prefixed by 'l_'. void and char have not
been "virtualized".
o Provide dummy functions for all syscalls and remove dummy functions
or implementations of truely obsolete syscalls.
o Sanitize the shm*, sem* and msg* syscalls.
o Make a first attempt to implement the linux_sysctl syscall. At this
time it only returns one MIB (KERN_VERSION), but most importantly,
it tells us when we need to add additional sysctls :-)
o Bump the kenel version up to 2.4.2 (this is not the same as the
KERN_VERSION MIB, BTW).
o Implement new syscalls, of which most are specific to i386. Our
syscall table is now up to date with Linux 2.4.2. Some highlights:
- Implement the 32-bit uid_t and gid_t bases syscalls.
- Implement a couple of 64-bit file size/offset bases syscalls.
o Fix or improve numerous syscalls and prototypes.
o Reduce style(9) violations while I'm here. Especially indentation
inconsistencies within the same file are addressed. Re-indenting
did not obfuscate actual changes to the extend that it could not
be combined.
NOTE: I spend some time testing these changes and found that if there
were regressions, they were not caused by these changes AFAICT.
It was observed that installing a RH 7.1 runtime environment
did make matters worse. Hangs and/or reboots have been observed
with and without these changes, so when it failed to make life
better in cases it doesn't look like it made it worse.
Replace the a.out emulation of 'struct linker_set' with something
a little more flexible. <sys/linker_set.h> now provides macros for
accessing elements and completely hides the implementation.
The linker_set.h macros have been on the back burner in various
forms since 1998 and has ideas and code from Mike Smith (SET_FOREACH()),
John Polstra (ELF clue) and myself (cleaned up API and the conversion
of the rest of the kernel to use it).
The macros declare a strongly typed set. They return elements with the
type that you declare the set with, rather than a generic void *.
For ELF, we use the magic ld symbols (__start_<setname> and
__stop_<setname>). Thanks to Richard Henderson <rth@redhat.com> for the
trick about how to force ld to provide them for kld's.
For a.out, we use the old linker_set struct.
NOTE: the item lists are no longer null terminated. This is why
the code impact is high in certain areas.
The runtime linker has a new method to find the linker set
boundaries depending on which backend format is in use.
linker sets are still module/kld unfriendly and should never be used
for anything that may be modular one day.

process is on the alternate stack or not. For compatibility
with sigstack(2) state is being updated if such is needed.
We now determine whether the process is on the alternate
stack by looking at its stack pointer. This allows a process
to siglongjmp from a signal handler on the alternate stack
to the place of the sigsetjmp on the normal stack. When
maintaining state, this would have invalidated the state
information and causing a subsequent signal to be delivered
on the normal stack instead of the alternate stack.

Do some cleanups and improve style while here.

linux's "extramask" field. This field contains the upper 32-bits of
the sigset. extramask sits behind a linux_fpstate struct, which I've
defined primarily for padding purposes.
While we're here, define LINUX_NSIG in terms of LINUX_NBPW (32) and
LINUX_NSIG_WORDS (2).
This fixes problems where threaded apps would accumulate a large
number of zombies. This was happening because the exit signal resides
in the upper 32-bits of the sigset and was never getting unmasked by
the manager thread after the first child exited.

Without this patch, an SA_SIGINFO style handler can be installed by a linux
app, but if the handler accesses its sip argument, it will get a garbage
pointer and likely segfault.
We currently supply a valid pointer, but its contents are mainly
garbage. Filling this in properly is future work.

Marcel). Due to time constraints, I'm going to space them out over a
few days.
This fixes two problems with linux_sigaltstack()
o ss == 0 is perfectly valid use, so do not fail in this case.
o Fix flag handling:
- Our SS_DISABLE is 4, linux's is 2, so we need conversion routines.
These conversion routines will be needed by linux_rt_sendsig()
and linux_rt_sigreturn (forthcoming), so they are not static.
- Linux's flag 0 historically meant SS_ONSTACK according to a comment
in their linux/kernel/signal.c file.
Among other things, this fixes a warning from Sun's JDK 1.3:

program running under linux emulation, the script binary is checked for

(i.e. the FreeBSD binary) will be run instead of the linux binary.
For example, #!/bin/sh, thus breaking out of linux compatibility mode.
This solves a number of problems people have had installing linux
software on FreeBSD boxes.
Other modules can register and unregister ioctl handlers to extend the
ioctls known by the Linuxulator. A recent application is the vmware
port. The Linuxulator itself uses the new interface to register its
handlers as well. Handlers for the following types of ioctls have been
defined:
cdrom
console (=keyboard and VT handling)
socket
sound
termio
All ioctl related defines and declarations have been moved to a new
file (linux_ioctl.h), except for the pluggable ioctl handler interface
definition.
While there, cleanup linux.h some more.
linux.h and linux_ioctl.[ch] have been made to conform to style(9) as
much as possible.

-----------------------------
The compatibility code and/or emulators have been updated:
iBCS2 now mostly uses the older syscalls. SVR4 now properly
handles all signals. This has been achieved by using the
new sigset_t throughout the emulator. The Linuxulator has
been severely updated. Internally the new Linux sigset_t is
made the default. These are then mapped to and from the
new FreeBSD sigset_t.
Also, rt_sigsuspend has been implemented in the Linuxulator.
Implementing this syscall basicly caused all this sigset_t
changing in the first place and the syscall has been used
throughout the change as a means for testing. It basicly is
too much work to undo the implementation so that it can
later be added again.
A special note on the use of sv_sigtbl and sv_sigsize in
struct sysentvec:
Every signal larger than sv_sigsize is not translated and is
passed on to the signal handler unmodified. Signals in the
range 1 upto and including sv_sigsize are translated.
The rationale is that only the system defined signals need to
be translated.
The emulators also have been updated so that the translation
tables are only indexed for valid (system defined) signals.
This change also fixes the translation bug already in the
SVR4 emulator.

And as long as we're here, rename some unimplemeted syscalls (linux_phys ->
linux_umount2, linux_vm86 -> linux_vm86old, linux_new_vm86 -> linux_vm86).
Change prototype for linux_newuname from `struct linux_newuname_t *' into

linux_misc.c.
functions use the new sigset_t and sigaction_t which allows support for more
than 32 signals. Only the lower 32 signals are supported for now.
linux_rt_sigaction, linux_sigaction and linux_signal use linux_do_sigaction
to do the actual work. That way unnecessary redundancy is avoided. The same
has been done for linux_rt_sigprocmask and linux_sigprocmask. They call
linux_do_sigprocmask to do the actual work.
The linux syscalls translate the arguments first before invoking the
FreeBSD native syscalls.
