* tracing: make CALLER_ADDRx overwriteableUwe Kleine-Koenig2009-03-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current definition of CALLER_ADDRx isn't suitable for all platforms. E.g. for ARM __builtin_return_address(N) doesn't work for N > 0 and AFAIK for powerpc there are no frame pointers needed to have a working __builtin_return_address. This patch allows defining the CALLER_ADDRx macros in <asm/ftrace.h> and let these take precedence. Because now <asm/ftrace.h> is included unconditionally in <linux/ftrace.h> all archs that don't already had this include get an empty one for free.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Right now nobody cares, but the suspend/resume code will eventually want to suspend device interrupts without suspending the timer, and will depend on this flag to know.

Commit e7b14036 removes the targetted disabled CPU from the cpu_online_map after calls to migrate_platform_irqs and fixup_irqs. Paul McKenney states that the reasoning behind the patch was to prevent irq handlers from running on CPUs marked offline because: RCU happily ignores CPUs that don't have their bits set in cpu_online_map, so if there are RCU read-side critical sections in the irq handlers being run, RCU will ignore them. If the other CPUs were running, they might sequence through the RCU state machine, which could result in data structures being yanked out from under those irq handlers, which in turn could result in oopses or worse. Unfortunately, both ia64 functions above look at cpu_online_map to find a new CPU to migrate interrupts onto. This means we can potentially migrate an interrupt off ourself back to... ourself. Uh oh. This causes an oops when we finally try to process pending interrupts on the CPU we want to disable. The oops results from calling __do_IRQ with a NULL pt_regs: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference (address 0000000000000040) Call Trace: [<a000000100016930>] show_stack+0x50/0xa0 sp=e0000009c922fa00 bsp=e0000009c92214d0 [<a0000001000171a0>] show_regs+0x820/0x860 sp=e0000009c922fbd0 bsp=e0000009c9221478 [<a00000010003c700>] die+0x1a0/0x2e0 sp=e0000009c922fbd0 bsp=e0000009c9221438 [<a0000001006e92f0>] ia64_do_page_fault+0x950/0xa80 sp=e0000009c922fbd0 bsp=e0000009c92213d8 [<a00000010000c7a0>] ia64_native_leave_kernel+0x0/0x270 sp=e0000009c922fc60 bsp=e0000009c92213d8 [<a0000001000ecdb0>] profile_tick+0xd0/0x1c0 sp=e0000009c922fe30 bsp=e0000009c9221398 [<a00000010003bb90>] timer_interrupt+0x170/0x3e0 sp=e0000009c922fe30 bsp=e0000009c9221330 [<a00000010013a800>] handle_IRQ_event+0x80/0x120 sp=e0000009c922fe30 bsp=e0000009c92212f8 [<a00000010013aa00>] __do_IRQ+0x160/0x4a0 sp=e0000009c922fe30 bsp=e0000009c9221290 [<a000000100012290>] ia64_process_pending_intr+0x2b0/0x360 sp=e0000009c922fe30 bsp=e0000009c9221208 [<a0000001000112d0>] fixup_irqs+0xf0/0x2a0 sp=e0000009c922fe30 bsp=e0000009c92211a8 [<a00000010005bd80>] __cpu_disable+0x140/0x240 sp=e0000009c922fe30 bsp=e0000009c9221168 [<a0000001006c5870>] take_cpu_down+0x50/0xa0 sp=e0000009c922fe30 bsp=e0000009c9221148 [<a000000100122610>] stop_cpu+0xd0/0x200 sp=e0000009c922fe30 bsp=e0000009c92210f0 [<a0000001000e0440>] kthread+0xc0/0x140 sp=e0000009c922fe30 bsp=e0000009c92210c8 [<a000000100014ab0>] kernel_thread_helper+0xd0/0x100 sp=e0000009c922fe30 bsp=e0000009c92210a0 [<a00000010000a4c0>] start_kernel_thread+0x20/0x40 sp=e0000009c922fe30 bsp=e0000009c92210a0 I don't like this revert because it is fragile. ia64 is getting lucky because we seem to only ever process timer interrupts in this path, but if we ever race with an IPI here, we definitely use RCU and have the potential of hitting an oops that Paul describes above. Patching ia64's timer_interrupt() to check for NULL pt_regs is insufficient though, as we still hit the above oops. As a short term solution, I do think that this revert is the right answer. The revert hold up under repeated testing (24+ hour test runs) with this setup: - 8-way rx6600 - randomly toggling CPU online/offline state every 2 seconds - running CPU exercisers, memory hog, disk exercisers, and network stressors - average system load around ~160 In the long term, we really need to figure out why we set pt_regs = NULL in ia64_process_pending_intr(). If it turns out that it is unnecessary to do so, then we could safely re-introduce e7b14036 (along with some other logic to be smarter about migrating interrupts). One final note: x86 also removes the disabled CPU from cpu_online_map and then re-enables interrupts for 1ms, presumably to handle any pending interrupts: arch/x86/kernel/irq_32.c (and irq_64.c): cpu_disable_common: [remove cpu from cpu_online_map] fixup_irqs(): for_each_irq: [break CPU affinities] local_irq_enable(); mdelay(1); local_irq_disable(); So they are doing implicitly what ia64 is doing explicitly.

The modifying of code with NMIs allows all NMIs to modify the code if it is about to run. This prevents a modifier on one CPU from modifying code running in NMI context on another CPU. The modifying is done through stop_machine, so only NMIs must be considered. But if the write causes the page fault handler to produce a warning, the print can slow it down enough that as soon as it is done it will take another NMI before going back to the process context. The new NMI will perform the write again causing another print and this will hang the box. This patch turns off the writing as soon as a failure is detected and does not wait for it to be turned off by the process context.

But this defeats the point of CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA. This patch converts the kernel code to writable before ftrace modifies the text, and converts it back to read only afterward. The kernel text is converted to read/write, stop_machine is called to modify the code, then the kernel text is converted back to read only. The original version used SYSTEM_STATE to determine when it was OK or not to change the code to rw or ro. Andrew Morton pointed out that using SYSTEM_STATE is a bad idea since there is no guarantee to what its state will actually be. Instead, I moved the check into the set_kernel_text_* functions themselves, and use a local variable to determine when it is OK to change the kernel text RW permissions.

The fix, suggested by Linus, is to not try to 'clone' the reference protection of a huge-page, but to use the standard (and permissive) page protection bits of KERNPG_TABLE. The 'cloning' makes sense for the ptes but it's a confused and incorrect concept at the page table level - because the pagetable entry is a set of all ptes and hence cannot 'clone' any single protection attribute - the ptes can be any mixture of protections. With the permissive KERNPG_TABLE, even if the pte protections get changed after this point (due to ftrace doing code-patching or other similar activities like kprobes), the resulting combined protections will still be correct and the pte's restrictive (or permissive) protections will control it. Also update the comment. This bug was there for a long time but has not caused visible problems before as it needs a rather large read-only area to trigger. Steve possibly hacked his kernel with some really large arrays or so. Anyway, the bug is definitely worth fixing. [ Huang Ying also experienced problems in this area when writing the EFI code, but the real bug in split_large_page() was not realized back then. ] Reported-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Reported-by: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Acked-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

When an edge triggered interrupt is requested, the gpio_irq_set_type method is called which currently switches the given IRQ descriptor between two struct irq_chip instances: orion_gpio_irq_level_chip and orion_gpio_irq_edge_chip. This happens via __setup_irq() which also calls irq_chip_set_defaults() to assign default methods to uninitialized ones. The problem is that irq_chip_set_defaults() is called before the irq_chip reference is switched, leaving the new irq_chip (orion_gpio_irq_edge_chip in this case) with uninitialized methods such as chip->startup() causing a kernel oops. Many solutions are possible, such as making irq_chip_set_defaults() global and calling it from gpio_irq_set_type(), or calling __irq_set_trigger() before irq_chip_set_defaults() in __setup_irq(). But those require modifications to the generic IRQ code which might have adverse effect on other architectures, and that would still be a fragile arrangement. Manually copying the missing methods from within gpio_irq_set_type() would be really ugly and it would break again the day new methods with automatic defaults are added. A better solution is to have a single irq_chip instance which can deal with both edge and level triggered interrupts. It is also a good idea to switch the IRQ handler instead, as the edge IRQ handler allows for one edge IRQ event to be queued as the IRQ is actually masked only when that second IRQ is received, at which point the hardware can queue an additional IRQ event, making edge triggered interrupts a bit more reliable.
