* ftrace: remove function tracing from spinlock debugSteven Rostedt2008-05-23
| | | | | | | | | | The debug functions in spin_lock debugging pollute the output of the function tracer. This patch adds the debug files in the lib director to those that should not be compiled with mcount tracing.

* ftrace: do not profile lib/string.oSteven Rostedt2008-05-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most archs define the string and memory compare functions in assembly. Some do not. But these functions may be used in some archs at early boot up. Since most archs define this code in assembly and they are not usually traced, there's no need to trace them when they are not defined in assembly. This patch removes the -pg from the CFLAGS for lib/string.o. This prevents the string functions use in either vdso or early bootup from crashing the system.

* ftrace: debug smp_processor_id, use notrace preempt disableSteven Rostedt2008-05-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The debug smp_processor_id caused a recursive fault in debugging the irqsoff tracer. The tracer used a smp_processor_id in the ftrace callback, and this function called preempt_disable which also is traced. This caused a recursive fault (stack overload). Since using smp_processor_id without debugging on does not cause faults with the tracer (even when the tracer is wrong), the debug version should not cause a system reboot. This changes the debug_smp_processor_id to use the notrace versions of preempt_disable and enable.

* ftrace: add basic support for gcc profiler instrumentationArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2008-05-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If CONFIG_FTRACE is selected and /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled is set to a non-zero value the ftrace routine will be called everytime we enter a kernel function that is not marked with the "notrace" attribute. The ftrace routine will then call a registered function if a function happens to be registered. [ This code has been highly hacked by Steven Rostedt and Ingo Molnar, so don't blame Arnaldo for all of this ;-) ] Update: It is now possible to register more than one ftrace function. If only one ftrace function is registered, that will be the function that ftrace calls directly. If more than one function is registered, then ftrace will call a function that will loop through the functions to call.

There's exactly one customer: v9fs_parse_options(). I believe it currently can't overflow its buffer, but that's not exactly obvious. The source string is a substing of the mount options. The kernel silently truncates those to PAGE_SIZE bytes, including the terminating zero. See compat_sys_mount() and do_mount(). The destination buffer is obtained from __getname(), which allocates from name_cachep, which is initialized by vfs_caches_init() for size PATH_MAX. We're safe as long as PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE. PATH_MAX is 4096. As far as I know, the smallest PAGE_SIZE is also 4096. Here's a patch that makes the code a bit more obviously correct. It doesn't depend on PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE.

* BKL: revert back to the old spinlock implementationLinus Torvalds2008-05-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The generic semaphore rewrite had a huge performance regression on AIM7 (and potentially other BKL-heavy benchmarks) because the generic semaphores had been rewritten to be simple to understand and fair. The latter, in particular, turns a semaphore-based BKL implementation into a mess of scheduling. The attempt to fix the performance regression failed miserably (see the previous commit 00b41ec2611dc98f87f30753ee00a53db648d662 'Revert "semaphore: fix"'), and so for now the simple and sane approach is to instead just go back to the old spinlock-based BKL implementation that never had any issues like this. This patch also has the advantage of being reported to fix the regression completely according to Yanmin Zhang, unlike the semaphore hack which still left a couple percentage point regression. As a spinlock, the BKL obviously has the potential to be a latency issue, but it's not really any different from any other spinlock in that respect. We do want to get rid of the BKL asap, but that has been the plan for several years. These days, the biggest users are in the tty layer (open/release in particular) and Alan holds out some hope: "tty release is probably a few months away from getting cured - I'm afraid it will almost certainly be the very last user of the BKL in tty to get fixed as it depends on everything else being sanely locked." so while we're not there yet, we do have a plan of action.

* introduce explicit signed/unsigned 64bit divideRoman Zippel2008-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current do_div doesn't explicitly say that it's unsigned and the signed counterpart is missing, which is e.g. needed when dealing with time values. This introduces 64bit signed/unsigned divide functions which also attempts to cleanup the somewhat awkward calling API, which often requires the use of temporary variables for the dividend. To avoid the need for temporary variables everywhere for the remainder, each divide variant also provides a version which doesn't return the remainder. Each architecture can now provide optimized versions of these function, otherwise generic fallback implementations will be used. As an example I provided an alternative for the current x86 divide, which avoids the asm casts and using an union allows gcc to generate better code. It also avoids the upper divde in a few more cases, where the result is known (i.e. upper quotient is zero).

* infrastructure to debug (dynamic) objectsThomas Gleixner2008-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We can see an ever repeating problem pattern with objects of any kind in the kernel: 1) freeing of active objects 2) reinitialization of active objects Both problems can be hard to debug because the crash happens at a point where we have no chance to decode the root cause anymore. One problem spot are kernel timers, where the detection of the problem often happens in interrupt context and usually causes the machine to panic. While working on a timer related bug report I had to hack specialized code into the timer subsystem to get a reasonable hint for the root cause. This debug hack was fine for temporary use, but far from a mergeable solution due to the intrusiveness into the timer code. The code further lacked the ability to detect and report the root cause instantly and keep the system operational. Keeping the system operational is important to get hold of the debug information without special debugging aids like serial consoles and special knowledge of the bug reporter. The problems described above are not restricted to timers, but timers tend to expose it usually in a full system crash. Other objects are less explosive, but the symptoms caused by such mistakes can be even harder to debug. Instead of creating specialized debugging code for the timer subsystem a generic infrastructure is created which allows developers to verify their code and provides an easy to enable debug facility for users in case of trouble. The debugobjects core code keeps track of operations on static and dynamic objects by inserting them into a hashed list and sanity checking them on object operations and provides additional checks whenever kernel memory is freed. The tracked object operations are: - initializing an object - adding an object to a subsystem list - deleting an object from a subsystem list Each operation is sanity checked before the operation is executed and the subsystem specific code can provide a fixup function which allows to prevent the damage of the operation. When the sanity check triggers a warning message and a stack trace is printed. The list of operations can be extended if the need arises. For now it's limited to the requirements of the first user (timers). The core code enqueues the objects into hash buckets. The hash index is generated from the address of the object to simplify the lookup for the check on kfree/vfree. Each bucket has it's own spinlock to avoid contention on a global lock. The debug code can be compiled in without being active. The runtime overhead is minimal and could be optimized by asm alternatives. A kernel command line option enables the debugging code.

* | bitops: remove "optimizations"Thomas Gleixner2008-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The mapsize optimizations which were moved from x86 to the generic code in commit 64970b68d2b3ed32b964b0b30b1b98518fde388e increased the binary size on non x86 architectures. Looking into the real effects of the "optimizations" it turned out that they are not used in find_next_bit() and find_next_zero_bit().

* mempolicy: add bitmap_onto() and bitmap_fold() operationsPaul Jackson2008-04-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following adds two more bitmap operators, bitmap_onto() and bitmap_fold(), with the usual cpumask and nodemask wrappers. The bitmap_onto() operator computes one bitmap relative to another. If the n-th bit in the origin mask is set, then the m-th bit of the destination mask will be set, where m is the position of the n-th set bit in the relative mask. The bitmap_fold() operator folds a bitmap into a second that has bit m set iff the input bitmap has some bit n set, where m == n mod sz, for the specified sz value. There are two substantive changes between this patch and its predecessor bitmap_relative: 1) Renamed bitmap_relative() to be bitmap_onto(). 2) Added bitmap_fold(). The essential motivation for bitmap_onto() is to provide a mechanism for converting a cpuset-relative CPU or Node mask to an absolute mask. Cpuset relative masks are written as if the current task were in a cpuset whose CPUs or Nodes were just the consecutive ones numbered 0..N-1, for some N. The bitmap_onto() operator is provided in anticipation of adding support for the first such cpuset relative mask, by the mbind() and set_mempolicy() system calls, using a planned flag of MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES. These bitmap operators (and their nodemask wrappers, in particular) will be used in code that converts the user specified cpuset relative memory policy to a specific system node numbered policy, given the current mems_allowed of the tasks cpuset. Such cpuset relative mempolicies will address two deficiencies of the existing interface between cpusets and mempolicies: 1) A task cannot at present reliably establish a cpuset relative mempolicy because there is an essential race condition, in that the tasks cpuset may be changed in between the time the task can query its cpuset placement, and the time the task can issue the applicable mbind or set_memplicy system call. 2) A task cannot at present establish what cpuset relative mempolicy it would like to have, if it is in a smaller cpuset than it might have mempolicy preferences for, because the existing interface only allows specifying mempolicies for nodes currently allowed by the cpuset. Cpuset relative mempolicies are useful for tasks that don't distinguish particularly between one CPU or Node and another, but only between how many of each are allowed, and the proper placement of threads and memory pages on the various CPUs and Nodes available. The motivation for the added bitmap_fold() can be seen in the following example. Let's say an application has specified some mempolicies that presume 16 memory nodes, including say a mempolicy that specified MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES (cpuset relative) nodes 12-15. Then lets say that application is crammed into a cpuset that only has 8 memory nodes, 0-7. If one just uses bitmap_onto(), this mempolicy, mapped to that cpuset, would ignore the requested relative nodes above 7, leaving it empty of nodes. That's not good; better to fold the higher nodes down, so that some nodes are included in the resulting mapped mempolicy. In this case, the mempolicy nodes 12-15 are taken modulo 8 (the weight of the mems_allowed of the confining cpuset), resulting in a mempolicy specifying nodes 4-7.

* Remove set_migrateflags()Christoph Lameter2008-04-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Migrate flags must be set on slab creation as agreed upon when the antifrag logic was reviewed. Otherwise some slabs of a slabcache will end up in the unmovable and others in the reclaimable section depending on which flag was active when a new slab page was allocated. This likely slid in somehow when antifrag was merged. Remove it. The buffer_heads are always allocated with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE because the SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT option is set. The set_migrateflags() never had any effect there. Radix tree allocations are not directly reclaimable but they are allocated with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE set on each allocation. We now set SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT on radix tree slab creation making sure that radix tree slabs are consistently placed in the reclaimable section. Radix tree slabs will also be accounted as such. There is then no user left of set_migratepages. So remove it.

* x86, bitops: select the generic bitmap search functionsAlexander van Heukelum2008-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT and GENERIC_FIND_NEXT_BIT in lib/Kconfig, defaulting to off. An arch that wants to use the generic implementation now only has to use a select statement to include them. I added an always-y option (X86_CPU) to arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu and used that to select the generic search functions. This way ARCH=um SUBARCH=i386 automatically picks up the change too, and arch/um/Kconfig.i386 can therefore be simplified a bit. ARCH=um SUBARCH=x86_64 does things differently, but still compiles fine. It seems that a "def_bool y" always wins over a "def_bool n"?

The generic versions of find_first_bit and find_first_zero_bit are implemented in terms of the newly introduced __find_first_bit and __find_first_zero_bit.

In __next_cpu a call is avoided for a 32-bit bitmap. That's it.

For each bitmap size 1...512, for each possible bitmap with one bit set, for each possible offset: find the position of the first bit starting at offset. If you follow ;).

The generic version always returns exactly size. The generic version also uses unsigned long everywhere, while the x86 versions use a mishmash of int, unsigned (int), long and unsigned long.
