Subject: [PATCH] UML - Stack usage reduction
Date: Wed, 09 Aug 2006 14:15:30 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200608091815.k79IFW3W005315@ccure.user-mode-linux.org> (raw)
The KSTK_* macros used an inordinate amount of stack. In order to
overcome an impedance mismatch between their interface, which just
returns a single register value, and the interface of get_thread_regs,
which took a full pt_regs, the implementation created an on-stack
pt_regs, filled it in, and returned one field. do_task_stat calls
KSTK_* twice, resulting in two local pt_regs, blowing out the stack.
This patch changes the interface (and name) of get_thread_regs to just
return a single register from a jmp_buf.
The include of archsetjmp.h" in registers.h to get the definition of
jmp_buf exposed a bogus include of <setjmp.h> in start_up.c.
<setjmp.h> shouldn't be used anywhere any more since UML uses the
klibc setjmp/longjmp.
