[PATCH] NOMMU: make SYSV SHM nattch work correctly

Make the SYSV SHM nattch counter work correctly by forcing multiple VMAs to
be produced to represent MAP_SHARED segments, even if they overlap exactly.

Using this test program:

http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/doshm.c

Run as:

doshm sysv

I can see nattch going from one before the patch:

That's +1 to nattch for each shmat() made.

[PATCH] uclinux: fix mmap() of directory for nommu case

I was playing with blackfin when i hit a neat bug ... doing an open() on a
directory and then passing that fd to mmap() would cause the kernel to hang

after poking into the code a bit more, i found that
mm/nommu.c:validate_mmap_request() checks the length and if it is 0, just
returns the address ... this is in stark contrast to mmu's
mm/mmap.c:do_mmap_pgoff() where it returns -EINVAL for 0 length requests ...
i then noticed that some other parts of the logic is out of date between the
two funcs, so perhaps that's the easy fix ?

[PATCH] NOMMU: Make futexes work under NOMMU conditions

Make futexes work under NOMMU conditions.

This can be tested by running this in one shell:

#define SYSERROR(X, Y) \
do { if ((long)(X) == -1L) { perror(Y); exit(1); }} while(0)

int main()
{
int shmid, tmp, *f, n;

shmid = shmget(23, 4, IPC_CREAT|0666);
SYSERROR(shmid, "shmget");

f = shmat(shmid, NULL, 0);
SYSERROR(f, "shmat");

n = *f;
printf("WAIT: %p{%x}\n", f, n);
tmp = futex(f, FUTEX_WAIT, n, NULL, NULL, 0);
SYSERROR(tmp, "futex");
printf("WAITED: %d\n", tmp);

tmp = shmdt(f);
SYSERROR(tmp, "shmdt");

exit(0);
}

And then this in the other shell:

#define SYSERROR(X, Y) \
do { if ((long)(X) == -1L) { perror(Y); exit(1); }} while(0)

int main()
{
int shmid, tmp, *f;

shmid = shmget(23, 4, IPC_CREAT|0666);
SYSERROR(shmid, "shmget");

f = shmat(shmid, NULL, 0);
SYSERROR(f, "shmat");

(*f)++;
printf("WAKE: %p{%x}\n", f, *f);
tmp = futex(f, FUTEX_WAKE, 1, NULL, NULL, 0);
SYSERROR(tmp, "futex");
printf("WOKE: %d\n", tmp);

tmp = shmdt(f);
SYSERROR(tmp, "shmdt");

exit(0);
}

The first program will set up a SYSV IPC SHM segment and wait on a futex in it
for the number at the start to change. The program will increment that number
and wake the first program up. This leads to output of the form:

SHELL 1 SHELL 2
======================= =======================
# /dowait
WAIT: 0xc32ac000{0}
# /dowake
WAKE: 0xc32ac000{1}
WAITED: 0 WOKE: 1

[PATCH] NOMMU: Make mremap() partially work for NOMMU kernels

Make mremap() partially work for NOMMU kernels. It may resize a VMA provided
that it doesn't exceed the size of the slab object in which the storage is
allocated that the VMA refers to. Shareable VMAs may not be resized.

Moving VMAs (as permitted by MREMAP_MAYMOVE) is not currently supported.

This patch also makes use of the fact that the VMA list is now ordered to cut
it short when possible.

[PATCH] NOMMU: Permit ptrace to ignore non-PROT_WRITE VMAs in NOMMU mode

Permit ptrace to modify a section that's non-shared but is marked
unwritable, such as is obtained by mapping the text segment of an ELF-FDPIC
executable binary with into a binary that's being ptraced[*].

[*] Under NOMMU conditions ptrace causes read-only MAP_PRIVATE mmaps to become
totally private copies because if a private mapping was actually shared
then the debugging setting breakpoints in it would potentially crash
other processes.

This is done by using the VM_MAYWRITE flag rather than the VM_WRITE flag
when deciding whether to permit a write.

Without this patch a debugger can't set breakpoints in the mapped text
sections of executables that are mapped read-only private, even if the
mmap() syscall has taken a private copy because PT_PTRACED is set.

In addition, VM_MAYREAD is used instead of VM_READ for similar reasons.
