* kprobes: remove redundant config checkAbhishek Sagar2008-07-25

* kprobes: improve kretprobe scalability with hashed lockingSrinivasa D S2008-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently list of kretprobe instances are stored in kretprobe object (as used_instances,free_instances) and in kretprobe hash table. We have one global kretprobe lock to serialise the access to these lists. This causes only one kretprobe handler to execute at a time. Hence affects system performance, particularly on SMP systems and when return probe is set on lot of functions (like on all systemcalls). Solution proposed here gives fine-grain locks that performs better on SMP system compared to present kretprobe implementation. Solution: 1) Instead of having one global lock to protect kretprobe instances present in kretprobe object and kretprobe hash table. We will have two locks, one lock for protecting kretprobe hash table and another lock for kretporbe object. 2) We hold lock present in kretprobe object while we modify kretprobe instance in kretprobe object and we hold per-hash-list lock while modifying kretprobe instances present in that hash list. To prevent deadlock, we never grab a per-hash-list lock while holding a kretprobe lock. 3) We can remove used_instances from struct kretprobe, as we can track used instances of kretprobe instances using kretprobe hash table.

* inflate: refactor inflate malloc codeThomas Petazzoni2008-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Inflate requires some dynamic memory allocation very early in the boot process and this is provided with a set of four functions: malloc/free/gzip_mark/gzip_release. The old inflate code used a mark/release strategy rather than implement free. This new version instead keeps a count on the number of outstanding allocations and when it hits zero, it resets the malloc arena. This allows removing all the mark and release implementations and unifying all the malloc/free implementations. The architecture-dependent code must define two addresses: - free_mem_ptr, the address of the beginning of the area in which allocations should be made - free_mem_end_ptr, the address of the end of the area in which allocations should be made. If set to 0, then no check is made on the number of allocations, it just grows as much as needed The architecture-dependent code can also provide an arch_decomp_wdog() function call. This function will be called several times during the decompression process, and allow to notify the watchdog that the system is still running. If an architecture provides such a call, then it must define ARCH_HAS_DECOMP_WDOG so that the generic inflate code calls arch_decomp_wdog(). Work initially done by Matt Mackall, updated to a recent version of the kernel and improved by me.

* lib: allow memparse() to accept a NULL and ignorable second parmRobert P. J. Day2008-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extend memparse() to allow the caller to use a NULL second parameter, which would represent no interest in returning the address of the end of the parsed string. In numerous cases, callers invoke memparse() to parse a possibly-suffixed string (such as "64K" or "2G" or whatever) and define a character pointer to accept the end pointer being returned by memparse() even though they have no interest in it and promptly throw it away. This (backward-compatible) enhancement allows callers to use NULL in the cases where they just don't care about getting back that end pointer.

* find dynamic stack allocations in checkstack.plEric Sandeen2008-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, checkstack.pl only looks for fixed subtractions from the stack pointer. However, things like this: void function(int size) { char stackbuster[size << 2]; ... are certainly worth pointing out, I think. This could perhaps be done more cleanly, and the following patch only adds "dynamic" REs for x86 and x86_64, but it works: 0x00b0 crypto_cbc_decrypt_inplace [cbc]: Dynamic (%rax) 0x00ad crypto_pcbc_decrypt_inplace [pcbc]: Dynamic (%rax) 0x02f6 crypto_pcbc_encrypt_inplace [pcbc]: Dynamic (%rax) 0x036c _crypto_xcbc_digest_setkey [xcbc]: Dynamic (%rax) ...

* locking: add typecheck on irqsave and friends for correct flagsSteven Rostedt2008-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There haave been several areas in the kernel where an int has been used for flags in local_irq_save() and friends instead of a long. This can cause some hard to debug problems on some architectures. This patch adds a typecheck inside the irqsave and restore functions to flag these cases.
