* [PATCH] Kprobes/IA64: check jprobe break before handlingKeshavamurthy Anil S2005-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Once the jprobe instrumented function returns, it executes a jprobe_break which is a break instruction with __IA64_JPROBE_BREAK value. The current patch checks for this break value, before assuming that jprobe instrumented function just completed. The previous code was not checking for this value and that was a bug.

* [PATCH] Kprobes IA64: cmp ctype unc supportAnil S Keshavamurthy2005-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current Kprobes when patching the original instruction with the break instruction tries to retain the original qualifying predicate(qp), however for cmp.crel.ctype where ctype == unc, which is a special instruction always needs to be executed irrespective of qp. Hence, if the instruction we are patching is of this type, then we should not copy the original qp to the break instruction, this is because we always want the break fault to happen so that we can emulate the instruction.

* [PATCH] Kprobes ia64 cleanupRusty Lynch2005-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A cleanup of the ia64 kprobes implementation such that all of the bundle manipulation logic is concentrated in arch_prepare_kprobe(). With the current design for kprobes, the arch specific code only has a chance to return failure inside the arch_prepare_kprobe() function. This patch moves all of the work that was happening in arch_copy_kprobe() and most of the work that was happening in arch_arm_kprobe() into arch_prepare_kprobe(). By doing this we can add further robustness checks in arch_arm_kprobe() and refuse to insert kprobes that will cause problems.

* [PATCH] Kprobes/IA64: kdebug die notification mechanismAnil S Keshavamurthy2005-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As many of you know that kprobes exist in the main line kernel for various architecture including i386, x86_64, ppc64 and sparc64. Attached patches following this mail are a port of Kprobes and Jprobes for IA64. I have tesed this patches for kprobes and Jprobes and this seems to work fine. I have tested this patch by inserting kprobes on various slots and various templates including various types of branch instructions. I have also tested this patch using the tool http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=111657358022586&w=2 and the kprobes for IA64 works great. Here is list of TODO things and pathes for the same will appear soon. 1) Support kprobes on "mov r1=ip" type of instruction 2) Support Kprobes and Jprobes to exist on the same address 3) Support Return probes 3) Architecture independent cleanup of kprobes This patch adds the kdebug die notification mechanism needed by Kprobes. For break instruction on Branch type slot, imm21 is ignored and value zero is placed in IIM register, hence we need to handle kprobes for switch case zero.

* [PATCH] Move kprobe [dis]arming into arch specific codeRusty Lynch2005-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The architecture independent code of the current kprobes implementation is arming and disarming kprobes at registration time. The problem is that the code is assuming that arming and disarming is a just done by a simple write of some magic value to an address. This is problematic for ia64 where our instructions look more like structures, and we can not insert break points by just doing something like: *p->addr = BREAKPOINT_INSTRUCTION; The following patch to 2.6.12-rc4-mm2 adds two new architecture dependent functions: * void arch_arm_kprobe(struct kprobe *p) * void arch_disarm_kprobe(struct kprobe *p) and then adds the new functions for each of the architectures that already implement kprobes (spar64/ppc64/i386/x86_64). I thought arch_[dis]arm_kprobe was the most descriptive of what was really happening, but each of the architectures already had a disarm_kprobe() function that was really a "disarm and do some other clean-up items as needed when you stumble across a recursive kprobe." So... I took the liberty of changing the code that was calling disarm_kprobe() to call arch_disarm_kprobe(), and then do the cleanup in the block of code dealing with the recursive kprobe case. So far this patch as been tested on i386, x86_64, and ppc64, but still needs to be tested in sparc64.

* [PATCH] x86_64 specific function return probesRusty Lynch2005-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following patch adds the x86_64 architecture specific implementation for function return probes. Function return probes is a mechanism built on top of kprobes that allows a caller to register a handler to be called when a given function exits. For example, to instrument the return path of sys_mkdir: static int sys_mkdir_exit(struct kretprobe_instance *i, struct pt_regs *regs) { printk("sys_mkdir exited\n"); return 0; } static struct kretprobe return_probe = { .handler = sys_mkdir_exit, }; <inside setup function> return_probe.kp.addr = (kprobe_opcode_t *) kallsyms_lookup_name("sys_mkdir"); if (register_kretprobe(&return_probe)) { printk(KERN_DEBUG "Unable to register return probe!\n"); /* do error path */ } <inside cleanup function> unregister_kretprobe(&return_probe); The way this works is that: * At system initialization time, kernel/kprobes.c installs a kprobe on a function called kretprobe_trampoline() that is implemented in the arch/x86_64/kernel/kprobes.c (More on this later) * When a return probe is registered using register_kretprobe(), kernel/kprobes.c will install a kprobe on the first instruction of the targeted function with the pre handler set to arch_prepare_kretprobe() which is implemented in arch/x86_64/kernel/kprobes.c. * arch_prepare_kretprobe() will prepare a kretprobe instance that stores: - nodes for hanging this instance in an empty or free list - a pointer to the return probe - the original return address - a pointer to the stack address With all this stowed away, arch_prepare_kretprobe() then sets the return address for the targeted function to a special trampoline function called kretprobe_trampoline() implemented in arch/x86_64/kernel/kprobes.c * The kprobe completes as normal, with control passing back to the target function that executes as normal, and eventually returns to our trampoline function. * Since a kprobe was installed on kretprobe_trampoline() during system initialization, control passes back to kprobes via the architecture specific function trampoline_probe_handler() which will lookup the instance in an hlist maintained by kernel/kprobes.c, and then call the handler function. * When trampoline_probe_handler() is done, the kprobes infrastructure single steps the original instruction (in this case just a top), and then calls trampoline_post_handler(). trampoline_post_handler() then looks up the instance again, puts the instance back on the free list, and then makes a long jump back to the original return instruction. So to recap, to instrument the exit path of a function this implementation will cause four interruptions: - A breakpoint at the very beginning of the function allowing us to switch out the return address - A single step interruption to execute the original instruction that we replaced with the break instruction (normal kprobe flow) - A breakpoint in the trampoline function where our instrumented function returned to - A single step interruption to execute the original instruction that we replaced with the break instruction (normal kprobe flow) Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] kprobes: function-return probesHien Nguyen2005-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds function-return probes to kprobes for the i386 architecture. This enables you to establish a handler to be run when a function returns. 1. API Two new functions are added to kprobes: int register_kretprobe(struct kretprobe *rp); void unregister_kretprobe(struct kretprobe *rp); 2. Registration and unregistration 2.1 Register To register a function-return probe, the user populates the following fields in a kretprobe object and calls register_kretprobe() with the kretprobe address as an argument: kp.addr - the function's address handler - this function is run after the ret instruction executes, but before control returns to the return address in the caller. maxactive - The maximum number of instances of the probed function that can be active concurrently. For example, if the function is non- recursive and is called with a spinlock or mutex held, maxactive = 1 should be enough. If the function is non-recursive and can never relinquish the CPU (e.g., via a semaphore or preemption), NR_CPUS should be enough. maxactive is used to determine how many kretprobe_instance objects to allocate for this particular probed function. If maxactive <= 0, it is set to a default value (if CONFIG_PREEMPT maxactive=max(10, 2 * NR_CPUS) else maxactive=NR_CPUS) For example: struct kretprobe rp; rp.kp.addr = /* entrypoint address */ rp.handler = /*return probe handler */ rp.maxactive = /* e.g., 1 or NR_CPUS or 0, see the above explanation */ register_kretprobe(&rp); The following field may also be of interest: nmissed - Initialized to zero when the function-return probe is registered, and incremented every time the probed function is entered but there is no kretprobe_instance object available for establishing the function-return probe (i.e., because maxactive was set too low). 2.2 Unregister To unregiter a function-return probe, the user calls unregister_kretprobe() with the same kretprobe object as registered previously. If a probed function is running when the return probe is unregistered, the function will return as expected, but the handler won't be run. 3. Limitations 3.1 This patch supports only the i386 architecture, but patches for x86_64 and ppc64 are anticipated soon. 3.2 Return probes operates by replacing the return address in the stack (or in a known register, such as the lr register for ppc). This may cause __builtin_return_address(0), when invoked from the return-probed function, to return the address of the return-probes trampoline. 3.3 This implementation uses the "Multiprobes at an address" feature in 2.6.12-rc3-mm3. 3.4 Due to a limitation in multi-probes, you cannot currently establish a return probe and a jprobe on the same function. A patch to remove this limitation is being tested. This feature is required by SystemTap (http://sourceware.org/systemtap), and reflects ideas contributed by several SystemTap developers, including Will Cohen and Ananth Mavinakayanahalli.

* [PATCH] x86_64: avoid wasting IRQsNatalie Protasevich2005-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I suggest to change the way IRQs are handed out to PCI devices. Currently, each I/O APIC pin gets associated with an IRQ, no matter if the pin is used or not. It is expected that each pin can potentually be engaged by a device inserted into the corresponding PCI slot. However, this imposes severe limitation on systems that have designs that employ many I/O APICs, only utilizing couple lines of each, such as P64H2 chipset. It is used in ES7000, and currently, there is no way to boot the system with more that 9 I/O APICs. The simple change below allows to boot a system with say 64 (or more) I/O APICs, each providing 1 slot, which otherwise impossible because of the IRQ gaps created for unused lines on each I/O APIC. It does not resolve the problem with number of devices that exceeds number of possible IRQs, but eases up a tension for IRQs on any large system with potentually large number of devices. I only implemented this for the ACPI boot, since if the system is this big and using newer chipsets it is probably (better be!) an ACPI based system :). The change is completely "mechanical" and does not alter any internal structures or interrupt model/implementation. The patch works for both i386 and x86_64 archs.

* [PATCH] x86_64: never block forced SIGSEGVRoland McGrath2005-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the x86_64 version of the signal fix I just posted for i386. This problem was first noticed on PPC and has already been fixed there. But the exact same issue applies to other platforms in the same way. The signal blocking for sa_mask and the handled signal takes place after the handler setup. When the stack is bogus, the handler setup forces a SIGSEGV. But then this will be blocked, and returning to user mode will fault again and iterate. This patch fixes the problem by checking whether signal handler setup failed, and not doing the signal-blocking if so. This copies what was done in the ppc code. I think all architectures' signal handler setup code follows this pattern and needs the change.

* [PATCH] x86_64: fix hpet for systems that don't support legacy replacementjohn stultz2005-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the x86-64 HPET code assumes the entire HPET implementation from the spec is present. This breaks on boxes that do not implement the optional legacy timer replacement functionality portion of the spec. This patch fixes this issue, allowing x86-64 systems that cannot use the HPET for the timer interrupt and RTC to still use the HPET as a time source. I've tested this patch on a system systems without HPET, with HPET but without legacy timer replacement, as well as HPET with legacy timer replacement. This version adds a minor check to cap the HPET counter value in gettimeoffset_hpet to avoid possible time inconsistencies. Please ignore the A2 version I sent to you earlier.

* [PATCH] x86: avoid wasting IRQs for PCI devicesNatalie Protasevich2005-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have submitted the patch for x86_64, this is submission for i386. The patch changes the way IRQs are handed out to PCI devices. Currently, each I/O APIC pin gets associated with an IRQ, no matter if the pin is used or not. This imposes severe limitation on systems that have designs that employ many I/O APICs, only utilizing couple lines of each, such as P64H2 chipset. It is used in ES7000, and currently, there is no way to boot the system with more that 9 I/O APICs. The simple change below allows to boot a system with say 64 (or more) I/O APICs, each providing 1 slot, which otherwise impossible because of the IRQ gaps created for unused lines on each I/O APIC. It does not resolve the problem with number of devices that exceeds number of possible IRQs, but eases up a tension for IRQs on any large system with potentually large number of devices.

* [PATCH] Platform SMIs and their interferance with tsc based delay calibrationVenkatesh Pallipadi2005-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Issue: Current tsc based delay_calibration can result in significant errors in loops_per_jiffy count when the platform events like SMIs (System Management Interrupts that are non-maskable) are present. This could lead to potential kernel panic(). This issue is becoming more visible with 2.6 kernel (as default HZ is 1000) and on platforms with higher SMI handling latencies. During the boot time, SMIs are mostly used by BIOS (for things like legacy keyboard emulation). Description: The psuedocode for current delay calibration with tsc based delay looks like (0) Estimate a value for loops_per_jiffy (1) While (loops_per_jiffy estimate is accurate enough) (2) wait for jiffy transition (jiffy1) (3) Note down current tsc (tsc1) (4) loop until tsc becomes tsc1 + loops_per_jiffy (5) check whether jiffy changed since jiffy1 or not and refine loops_per_jiffy estimate Consider the following cases Case 1: If SMIs happen between (2) and (3) above, we can end up with a loops_per_jiffy value that is too low. This results in shorted delays and kernel can panic () during boot (Mostly at IOAPIC timer initialization timer_irq_works() as we don't have enough timer interrupts in a specified interval). Case 2: If SMIs happen between (3) and (4) above, then we can end up with a loops_per_jiffy value that is too high. And with current i386 code, too high lpj value (greater than 17M) can result in a overflow in delay.c:__const_udelay() again resulting in shorter delay and panic(). Solution: The patch below makes the calibration routine aware of asynchronous events like SMIs. We increase the delay calibration time and also identify any significant errors (greater than 12.5%) in the calibration and notify it to user. Patch below changes both i386 and x86-64 architectures to use this new and improved calibrate_delay_direct() routine.

* [PATCH] use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.shIan Campbell2005-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The attached patch causes the various arch specific install.sh scripts to look for ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel rather than just installkernel (in both /sbin/ and ~/bin/ where the script already did this). This allows you to have e.g. arm-linux-installkernel as a handy way to install on your cross target. It also prevents the script picking up on the host /sbin/installkernel which causes the script to fall through and do the install itself (which is what I actually use myself, with $INSTALL_PATH set). I don't believe it causes back-compatibility problems since calling the host installkernel was never likely to work or be what you wanted when cross compiling anyway. If $CROSS_COMPILE isn't set then nothing changes. I only use ARM and i386 myself but I figured it couldn't hurt to do the whole lot.
