| * x86: add a simple backtrace test moduleArjan van de Ven2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During the work on the x86 32 and 64 bit backtrace code I found it useful to have a simple test module to test a process and irq context backtrace. Since the existing backtrace code was buggy, I figure it might be useful to have such a test module in the kernel so that maybe we can even detect such bugs earlier..

| * x86: kprobes: add kprobes smoke tests that run on bootAnanth N Mavinakayanahalli2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here is a quick and naive smoke test for kprobes. This is intended to just verify if some unrelated change broke the *probes subsystem. It is self contained, architecture agnostic and isn't of any great use by itself. This needs to be built in the kernel and runs a basic set of tests to verify if kprobes, jprobes and kretprobes run fine on the kernel. In case of an error, it'll print out a message with a "BUG" prefix. This is a start; we intend to add more tests to this bucket over time. Thanks to Jim Keniston and Masami Hiramatsu for comments and suggestions. Tested on x86 (32/64) and powerpc.

| * debug: add the end-of-trace marker and the module list toArjan van de Ven2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unlike oopses, WARN_ON() currently does't print the loaded modules list. This makes it harder to take action on certain bug reports. For example, recently there were a set of WARN_ON()s reported in the mac80211 stack, which were just signalling a driver bug. It takes then anther round trip to the bug reporter (if he responds at all) to find out which driver is at fault. Another issue is that, unlike oopses, WARN_ON() doesn't currently printk the helpful "cut here" line, nor the "end of trace" marker. Now that WARN_ON() is out of line, the size increase due to this is minimal and it's worth adding.

| * debug: move WARN_ON() out of lineArjan van de Ven2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A quick grep shows that there are currently 1145 instances of WARN_ON in the kernel. Currently, WARN_ON is pretty much entirely inlined, which makes it hard to enhance it without growing the size of the kernel (and getting Andrew unhappy). This patch build on top of Olof's patch that introduces __WARN, and places the slowpath out of line. It also uses Ingo's suggestion to not use __FUNCTION__ but to use kallsyms to do the lookup; this saves a ton of extra space since gcc doesn't need to store the function string twice now: 3936367 833603 624736 5394706 525112 vmlinux.before 3917508 833603 624736 5375847 520767 vmlinux-slowpath 15Kb savings...

| * spinlock: lockbreak cleanupNick Piggin2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The break_lock data structure and code for spinlocks is quite nasty. Not only does it double the size of a spinlock but it changes locking to a potentially less optimal trylock. Put all of that under CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, and introduce a __raw_spin_is_contended that uses the lock data itself to determine whether there are waiters on the lock, to be used if CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK is not set. Rename need_lockbreak to spin_needbreak, make it use spin_is_contended to decouple it from the spinlock implementation, and make it typesafe (rwlocks do not have any need_lockbreak sites -- why do they even get bloated up with that break_lock then?).

| * time: track accurate idle time with tick_sched.idle_sleeptimeVenki Pallipadi2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current idle time in kstat is based on jiffies and is coarse grained. tick_sched.idle_sleeptime is making some attempt to keep track of idle time in a fine grained manner. But, it is not handling the time spent in interrupts fully. Make tick_sched.idle_sleeptime accurate with respect to time spent on handling interrupts and also add tick_sched.idle_lastupdate, which keeps track of last time when idle_sleeptime was updated. This statistics will be crucial for cpufreq-ondemand governor, which can shed some conservative gaurd band that is uses today while setting the frequency. The ondemand changes that uses the exact idle time is coming soon.

| * NTP: correct inconsistent ntp interval/tick_length usagejohn stultz2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I recently noticed on one of my boxes that when synched with an NTP server, the drift value reported for the system was ~283ppm. While in some cases, clock hardware can be that bad, it struck me as unusual as the system was using the acpi_pm clocksource, which is one of the more trustworthy and accurate clocksources on x86 hardware. I brought up another system and let it sync to the same NTP server, and I noticed a similar 280some ppm drift. In looking at the code, I found that the acpi_pm's constant frequency was being computed correctly at boot-up, however once the system was up, even without the ntp daemon running, the clocksource's frequency was being modified by the clocksource_adjust() function. Digging deeper, I realized that in the code that keeps track of how much the clocksource is skewing from the ntp desired time, we were using different lengths to establish how long an time interval was. The clocksource was being setup with the following interval: NTP_INTERVAL_LENGTH = NSEC_PER_SEC/NTP_INTERVAL_FREQ While the ntp code was using the tick_length_base value: tick_length_base ~= (tick_usec * NSEC_PER_USEC * USER_HZ) /NTP_INTERVAL_FREQ The subtle difference is: (tick_usec * NSEC_PER_USEC * USER_HZ) != NSEC_PER_SEC This difference in calculation was causing the clocksource correction code to apply a correction factor to the clocksource so the two intervals were the same, however this results in the actual frequency of the clocksource to be made incorrect. I believe this difference would affect all clocksources, although to differing degrees depending on the clocksource resolution. The issue was introduced when my HZ free ntp patch landed in 2.6.21-rc1, so my apologies for the mistake, and for not noticing it until now. The following patch, corrects the clocksource's initialization code so it uses the same interval length as the code in ntp.c. After applying this patch, the drift value for the same system went from ~283ppm to only 2.635ppm. I believe this patch to be good, however it does affect all arches and I've only tested on x86, so some caution is advised. I do think it would be a likely candidate for a stable 2.6.24.x release.

As all of the users are expected to be in kernel no unregister function is provided. sysctl_head_next is updated to walk through the list of lists. __register_sysctl_paths is added to add a new sysctl table on a non-default sysctl list.

| * | module: add module taint on ndiswrapperJon Masters2008-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The struct module taints member is supposed to store per-module taint data. The kernel knows about certain specific external modules that will taint the kernel, such as ndiswrapper. Use of ndiswrapper possibly should set the per-module taint in addition to the global kernel taint flag, unless we're arguing not because wrapper module itself is not what actually causes the kernel to be tainted as such?

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the original code use KOBJ_NAME_LEN for built-in module name length, that's defined to 20 in linux/kobject.h, but this is not enough appearntly, many module names are longer than this; #define KOBJ_NAME_LEN 20 another macro is MODULE_NAME_LEN defined in linux/module.h, I think this is enough for module names: #define MODULE_NAME_LEN (64 - sizeof(unsigned long)) Signed-off-by: Denis Cheng <crquan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
| * | module: make module_address_lookup safeRusty Russell2008-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | module_address_lookup releases preemption then returns a pointer into the module space. The only user (kallsyms) copies the result, so just do that under the preempt disable. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
| * | module: better OOPS and lockdep coverage for loading modulesRusty Russell2008-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we put the module in the linked list *before* calling into to, we get the module name and functions in the OOPS (is_module_address can find the module). It also helps lockdep in a similar way. Acked-and-tested-by: Joern Engel <joern@lazybastard.org> Tested-by: Erez Zadok <ezk@cs.sunysb.edu> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

| * | module: wait for dependent modules doing init.Rusty Russell2008-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There have been reports of modules failing to load because the modules they depend on are still loading. This changes the modules to wait for a reasonable length of time in that case. We time out eventually, because there can be module loops or broken modules.

| * | module: Don't report discarded init pages as kernel text.Rusty Russell2008-01-29
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current code could cause a bug in symbol_put_addr() if an arch used kmalloc module text: we might think the symbol belongs to the core kernel. The downside is that this might make backtraces through (discarded) init functions harder to read on some archs, but we already have that issue for modules and noone has complained.
