um: Replace ASSEMBLY with ASSEMBLER in the usermode headers

2025-07-22T15:12:45Z

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__ automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel. This can be very confusing when switching between userspace and kernelspace coding, so let's standardize on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers now. This is a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i" statement).

um: Re-evaluate thread flags repeatedly

2025-07-11T06:49:02Z

The thread flags may change during their processing. For example a task_work can queue a new signal to be sent. This signal should be delivered before returning to usespace again. Evaluate the flags repeatedly similar to other architectures.

um: move thread info into task

2024-11-12T13:50:31Z

This selects the THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK option for UM and changes the way that the current task is discovered. This is trivial though, as UML already tracks the current task in cpu_tasks[] and this can be used to retrieve it. Also remove the signal handler code that copies the thread information into the IRQ stack. It is obsolete now, which also means that the mentioned race condition cannot happen anymore.

um: remove auxiliary FP registers

2024-10-10T10:10:30Z

We do not need the extra save/restore of the FP registers when getting the fault information. This was originally added in commit 2f56debd77a8 ("uml: fix FP register corruption") but at that time the code was not saving/restoring the FP registers when switching to userspace. This was fixed in commit fbfe9c847edf ("um: Save FPU registers between task switches") and since then the auxiliary registers have not been useful.

ptrace/um: Replace PT_DTRACE with TIF_SINGLESTEP

2022-05-11T19:33:33Z

User mode linux is the last user of the PT_DTRACE flag. Using the flag to indicate single stepping is a little confusing and worse changing tsk->ptrace without locking could potentionally cause problems. So use a thread info flag with a better name instead of flag in tsk->ptrace. Remove the definition PT_DTRACE as uml is the last user.

um: remove set_fs

2021-12-22T16:56:56Z

Remove address space overrides using set_fs() for User Mode Linux. Note that just like the existing kernel access case of the uaccess routines the new nofault kernel handlers do not actually have any exception handling. This is probably broken, but not change to the status quo. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

Construct init thread stack in the linker script rather than by union

2018-01-09T23:21:02Z

Construct the init thread stack in the linker script rather than doing it by means of a union so that ia64's init_task.c can be got rid of. The following symbols are then made available from INIT_TASK_DATA() linker script macro: init_thread_union init_stack INIT_TASK_DATA() also expands the region to THREAD_SIZE to accommodate the size of the init stack. init_thread_union is given its own section so that it can be placed into the stack space in the right order. I'm assuming that the ia64 ordering is correct and that the task_struct is first and the thread_info second.
