This correctly hooks the VSX dump into Roland McGrath core file
infrastructure. It adds the VSX dump information as an additional elf
note in the core file (after talking more to the tool chain/gdb guys).
This also ensures the formats are consistent between signals, ptrace
and core files.

This makes the SPE register data appear in ELF core dumps, using the
new n_type value NT_PPC_SPE (0x101). This new note type is not used
by any consumers of core files yet, but support can be added. I don't
even have any hardware with SPE capabilities, so I've never seen such
a note. But this demonstrates how simple it is to export register
information in core dumps when the user_regset style is used for the
low-level code.

This makes ELF core dumps of 32-bit processes include a new
note type NT_386_TLS (0x200) giving the contents of the TLS
slots in struct user_desc format. This lets post mortem
examination figure out what the segment registers mean like
the debugger does with get_thread_area on a live process.

include/asm-powerpc/elf.h has 6 entries in ARCH_DLINFO. fs/binfmt_elf.c
has 14 unconditional NEW_AUX_ENT entries and 2 conditional NEW_AUX_ENT
entries. So in the worst case, saved_auxv does not get an AT_NULL entry at
the end.
The saved_auxv array must be terminated with an AT_NULL entry. Make the
size of mm_struct->saved_auxv arch dependend, based on the number of
ARCH_DLINFO entries.

Update dump_task_altivec() (which has so far never been put to use) so that
it dumps the Altivec/VMX registers (VR[0] - VR[31], VSCR and VRSAVE) in the
same format as the ptrace get_vrregs(), and add the appropriate glue
typedef and #defines to make it work.
A new note type of NT_PPC_VMX was chosen to be 0x100 (arbitrarily) because
it allows the low range values to be used for more generic purposes and
0x100 seems an adequate starting point for PowerPC extensions.

To start with, arch_notes_size() etc. is a little too ambiguous a name for
my liking, so change the function names to be more explicit.
Calling through macros is ugly, especially with hidden parameters, so don't
do that, call the routines directly.
Use ARCH_HAVE_EXTRA_ELF_NOTES as the only flag, and based on it decide
whether we want the extern declarations or the empty versions.
Since we have empty routines, actually use them in the coredump code to
save a few #ifdefs.
We want to change the handling of foffset so that the write routine updates
foffset as it goes, instead of using file->f_pos (so that writing to a pipe
works). So pass foffset to the write routine, and for now just set it to
file->f_pos at the end of writing.
It should also be possible for the write routine to fail, so change it to
return int and treat a non-zero return as failure.

COMPAT_VDSO
Some versions of libc can't deal with a VDSO which doesn't have its
ELF headers matching its mapped address. COMPAT_VDSO maps the VDSO at
a specific system-wide fixed address. Previously this was all done at
build time, on the grounds that the fixed VDSO address is always at
the top of the address space. However, a hypervisor may reserve some
of that address space, pushing the fixmap address down.
This patch does the adjustment dynamically at runtime, depending on
the runtime location of the VDSO fixmap.
[ Patch has been through several hands: Jan Beulich wrote the orignal
version; Zach reworked it, and Jeremy converted it to relocate phdrs
as well as sections. ]

This patch adds SPU elf notes to the coredump. It creates a separate note
for each of /regs, /fpcr, /lslr, /decr, /decr_status, /mem, /signal1,
/signal1_type, /signal2, /signal2_type, /event_mask, /event_status,
/mbox_info, /ibox_info, /wbox_info, /dma_info, /proxydma_info, /object-id.
A new macro, ARCH_HAVE_EXTRA_NOTES, was created for architectures to
specify they have extra elf core notes.
A new macro, ELF_CORE_EXTRA_NOTES_SIZE, was created so the size of the
additional notes could be calculated and added to the notes phdr entry.
A new macro, ELF_CORE_WRITE_EXTRA_NOTES, was created so the new notes
would be written after the existing notes.
The SPU coredump code resides in spufs. Stub functions are provided in the
kernel which are hooked into the spufs code which does the actual work via
register_arch_coredump_calls().
A new set of __spufs_<file>_read/get() functions was provided to allow the
coredump code to read from the spufs files without having to lock the
SPU context for each file read from.

The size of auxiliary vector is fixed at 42 in linux/sched.h. But it isn't
very obvious when looking at linux/elf.h. This patch adds AT_VECTOR_SIZE
so that we can change it if necessary when a new vector is added.
Because of include file ordering problems, doing this necessitated the
extraction of the AT_* symbols into a standalone header file.

On some platforms, you'll want to support READ_IMPLIES_EXEC differently
depending on personality (e.g, native binary vs. x86 binary).
This supports that (and makes the code more readable while at it) by
replacing the old architecture-specific fixed LEGACY_BINARIES macro
define with a architecture-specific "elf_read_implies_exec_binary()"
helper function.
For now, x86 is the only user, and sets the "read implies exec" bit for
legacy apps. ia64 and x86-64 are likely to want to do their own thing.

A patch to parse the elf binaries for a PT_GNU_STACK section to set the stack
non-executable if possible. Most parts have been shamelessly stolen from
Ingo Molnar's more ambitious stackshield
http://people.redhat.com/mingo/exec-shield/exec-shield-2.6.4-C9
The toolchain has meanwhile support for marking the binaries with a
PT_GNU_STACK section wwithout x bit as needed.
If no such section is found, we leave the stack to whatever the arch defaults
to. If there is one, we explicitly disabled the VM_EXEC bit if no x bit is
found, otherwise explicitly enable.

gdb really needs some way to know the AT_SYSINFO_EHDR value for a process
being debugged or for the dead process described by a core file. Without
this value, it can't find the information necessary to show backtraces of
threads waiting in system calls. There are any number of ways this
information could be made available. Here is one solution that provides
more debugging information in a clean and general fashion.
I've added access to the AT_* values passed to a process for third parties
to examine for debugging purposes. The same data passed on the stack at
startup is made available in /proc/PID/auxv and is written in an NT_AUXV
note in core dumps. (Both of these are consistent with what Solaris does
using the same names.)
Here are two different patches that implement the same thing differently.
The first patch uses a ref-counted data structure to copy the aux vector
and shares among forked mm's until they exec and get a new one. The second
patch avoids the complexity of that data structure by simply expanding the
mm_struct with space to hold a copy of the data. Both patches work
correctly; I have examined the new /proc/PID/auxv file and core dumps.
I hope you will consider including one of these patches, or at least some
way of getting at this information from the debugger. I am certainly open
to other suggestions on implementing this feature, and to suggestions on
alternative interfaces for getting the AT_SYSINFO_EHDR value cleanly.

This fills in the ELF EI_OSABI field. This doesn't matter for most
architectures, but PA-RISC uses the Linux flavour of the ABI (since HPUX
uses the None flavour).

This patch adds an AT_SECURE auxv entry to pass a boolean flag indicating
whether "secure mode" should be enabled (i.e. sanitize the environment,
initial descriptors, etc) and allows each security module to specify the
flag value via a new hook.
New userland can then simply obey this flag when present rather than
applying other methods of deciding (sample patch for glibc-2.3.2 can be
found at http://www.cs.utah.edu/~sds/glibc-secureexec.patch).
This change enables security modules like SELinux to request secure mode
upon changes to other security attributes (e.g. capabilities,
roles/domains, etc) in addition to uid/gid changes or even to completely
override the legacy logic.
The legacy decision algorithm is preserved in the default hook functions
for the dummy and capability security modules.
Credit for the idea of adding an AT_SECURE auxv entry goes to Roland
McGrath.

There is a _lot_ of stuff in linux/elf.h that shouldn't be there.
This moves the arch-specific stuff in linux/elf.h into the corresponding

This creates the full debugging input for the vsyscall page as a DSO,
allowing for debuggers and exception handlers to correctly handle the

These are used for the new in-kernel module loader (actually not all the
relocation types are used right now, but are included for completeness).
Only the EM_CYGNUS_V850 macro, which is in a global namespace, is added
to <linux/elf.h>; the relocation types, which are private to the v850,
are added to <asm-v850/elf.h>. [Perhaps some other archs can do a
similar split, to reduce the bloat in <linux/elf.h>]

Add s390 elf relocations.

This cset allows ARM modules to work again. The solution was
suggested by Andi Kleen.
We shrink the available user space size by 16MB, thereby opening up
a window in virtual memory space between user space and the kernel
direct mapped RAM. We place modules into this space, and, since the
kernel image is always at the bottom of kernel direct mapped RAM, we
can be assured that any 24-bit PC relocations (which have a range
of +/- 32MB) will always be able to reach the kernel.

elf.h simply doesn't need sched.h

This is an implementation of the in-kernel module loader extending
the try_inc_mod_count() primitive and making its use compulsory.
This has the benifit of simplicity, and similarity to the existing
scheme. To reduce the cost of the constant increments and
decrements, reference counters are lockless and per-cpu.
Eliminated (coming in following patches):
o Modversions
o Module parameters
o kallsyms
o EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL and MODULE_LICENCE checks
o DEVICE_TABLE support.
New features:
o Typesafe symbol_get/symbol_put
o Single "insert this module" syscall interface allows trivial userspace.
o Raceless loading and unloading
You will need the trivial replacement module utilities from:

This is the second iteration of thread-aware coredumps.
Changes:
- Ulrich Drepper has reviewed the data structures and checked actual
coredumps via readelf - everything looks fine and according to the spec.
- a serious bug has been fixed in the thread-state dumping code - it was
still based on the 2.4 assumption that the task struct points to the
kernel stack - it's task->thread_info in 2.5. This bug caused bogus
register info to be filled in for threads.
- properly wait for all threads that share the same MM to serialize with
the coredumping thread. This is CLONE_VM based, not tied to
CLONE_THREAD and/or signal semantics, ie. old-style (or different-style)
threaded apps will be properly stopped as well.
The locking might look a bit complex, but i wanted to keep the
__exit_mm() overhead as low as possible. It's not quite trivial to get
these bits right, because 'sharing the MM' is detached from signals
semantics, so we cannot rely on broadcast-kill catching all threads. So
zap_threads() iterates through every thread and zaps those which were
left out. (There's a minimal race left in where a newly forked child
might escape the attention of zap_threads() - this race is fixed by the
OOM fixes in the mmap-speedup patch.)
- fill_psinfo() is now called with the thread group leader, for the
coredump to get 'process' state.
- initialize the elf_thread_status structure with zeroes.
the IA64 ELF bits are not included, yet, to reduce complexity of the
patch. The patch has been tested on x86 UP and SMP.
