[RFC PATCH] Address spaces as independent objects

From: Jeff Dike
Date: Fri Feb 15 2008 - 12:31:15 EST

Below is a patch which allows address spaces to be created,
manipulated, and destroyed independently of processes.

The additions are
two system calls, new_mm and switch_mm
/proc/<pid>/mm
PTRACE_SWITCH_MM

new_mm() returns a file descriptor referencing a new address space
which is a copy of the current one.

switch_mm(fd, save_regs, new_regs, ip, sp) switches the current
process to the address space referenced by fd. If save_regs is
non-NULL, then the current registers are saved there. It must be a
userspace pointer that's valid in the current address space. If
new_regs is non-NULL, the registers are restored from there. It must
be a userspace pointer valid in the new address space. If new_regs is
NULL, then ip and sp will be used to initialize the instruction
pointer and stack pointer, respectively.

Opening /proc/<pid>/mm gives you a descriptor referencing the address
space of the given process. If you are switching temporarily to
another address space and want to come back to the current one, then
you need to open /proc/self/mm and use that descriptor to return.

PTRACE_SWITCH_MM takes a file descriptor in data and makes the child
process switch to the address space referenced by it.

If you're familiar with UML, you'll recognize this stuff as what's in
the host SKAS3 patch, except with a different interface.

The purpose behind this is to allow UML to run more efficiently. With
this patch, plus a PTRACE_GETSIGINFO extension, I get kernel build
performance in the 82% - 83% range compared to native on i386.

Internal interface changes - I made some previously static functions
global:
dup_mm - address space duplication
getreg, putreg, getreg32, putreg32 - save and restore process
register state

The guts of this are in mm/mmfs.c, which implements a little
filesystem sitting behind /proc/<pid>/mm and new_mm().

Architecture support is there for 32 and 64-bit x86 and 32 bit compat
on 64-bit.

I want this to go into mainline, so I'd like to see it take a spin in
-mm during 2.6.24 and then go into 2.6.25 if there no major problems
with it.

TODO -
The architecture support needs work
Register saving and restoring should include the FP registers
Need to add /proc/<pid>/task/mm

In order to play with this, you'll need either this patch, which is
a rolled-up patch containing both host and guest support:

http://marc.info/?l=user-mode-linux-devel&m=120223043225099&q=raw

or this broken-out series, of which the patch below is number 7:
http://marc.info/?l=user-mode-linux-devel&m=120223042625081&q=raw
http://marc.info/?l=user-mode-linux-devel&m=120223044925151&q=raw

http://marc.info/?l=user-mode-linux-devel&m=120223005624238&q=raw

These are against 2.6.24. Build both host and guest from this tree.

Host get_mm and switch_mm

This is the new_mm, switch_mm, and /proc/<pid>/mm implementation for
32- and 64-bit x86 and UML, plus 32-bit support on 64-bit x86.
