2010-10-15ftrace: Use objtree for C version of recordmcountSteven Rostedt
The C version of recordmcount is compiled to a binary, which will end up located in the objtree. If the kernel is built with O=path, the srctree will not include the binary recordmcount caller.

2010-10-15ftrace: Do not process kernel/trace/ftrace.o with C recordmcount programSteven Rostedt
The file kernel/trace/ftrace.c references the mcount() call to convert the mcount() callers to nops. But because it references mcount(), the mcount() address is placed in the relocation table. The C version of recordmcount reads the relocation table of all object files, and it will add all references to mcount to the __mcount_loc table that is used to find the places that call mcount() and change the call to a nop. When recordmcount finds the mcount reference in kernel/trace/ftrace.o, it saves that location even though the code is not a call, but references mcount as data. On boot up, when all calls are converted to nops, the code has a safety check to determine what op code it is actually replacing before it replaces it. If that op code at the address does not match, then a warning is printed and the function tracer is disabled. The reference to mcount in ftrace.c, causes this warning to trigger, since the reference is not a call to mcount(). The ftrace.c file is not compiled with the -pg flag, so no calls to mcount() should be expected. This patch simply makes recordmcount.c skip the kernel/trace/ftrace.c file. This was the same solution used by the perl version of recordmcount.

2010-10-15oprofile: fix linker errorsAnand Gadiyar
Commit e9677b3ce (oprofile, ARM: Use oprofile_arch_exit() to cleanup on failure) caused oprofile_perf_exit to be called in the cleanup path of oprofile_perf_init. The __exit tag for oprofile_perf_exit should therefore be dropped. The same has to be done for exit_driverfs as well, as this function is called from oprofile_perf_exit. Else, we get the following two linker errors.

2010-10-14ftrace: Rename config option HAVE_C_MCOUNT_RECORD to HAVE_C_RECORDMCOUNTSteven Rostedt
The config option used by archs to let the build system know that the C version of the recordmcount works for said arch is currently called HAVE_C_MCOUNT_RECORD which enables BUILD_C_RECORDMCOUNT. To be more consistent with the name that all archs may use, it has been renamed to HAVE_C_RECORDMCOUNT. This will be less confusing since we are building a C recordmcount and not a mcount_record.

2010-10-14ftrace: Remove duplicate code for 64 and 32 bit in recordmcount.cSteven Rostedt
The elf reader for recordmcount.c had duplicate functions for both 32 bit and 64 bit elf handling. This was due to the need of using the 32 and 64 bit elf structures. This patch consolidates the two by using macros to define the 32 and 64 bit names in a recordmcount.h file, and then by just defining a RECORD_MCOUNT_64 macro and including recordmcount.h twice we create the funtions for both the 32 bit version as well as the 64 bit version using one code source.

2010-10-14x86: Barf when vmalloc and kmemcheck faults happen in NMIFrederic Weisbecker
In x86, faults exit by executing the iret instruction, which then reenables NMIs if we faulted in NMI context. Then if a fault happens in NMI, another NMI can nest after the fault exits. But we don't yet support nested NMIs because we have only one NMI stack. To prevent from that, check that vmalloc and kmemcheck faults don't happen in this context. Most of the other kernel faults in NMIs can be more easily spotted by finding explicit copy_from,to_user() calls on review.

2010-10-12oprofile: disable write access to oprofilefs while profiler is runningRobert Richter
Oprofile counters are setup when profiling is disabled. Thus, writing to oprofilefs has no immediate effect. Changes are updated only after oprofile is reenabled. To keep userland and kernel states synchronized, we now allow configuration of oprofile only if profiling is disabled. In this case it checks if the profiler is running and then disables write access to oprofilefs by returning -EBUSY. The change should be backward compatible with current oprofile userland daemon.

2010-10-05wait: using uninitialized member of wait queueEvgeny Kuznetsov
The "flags" member of "struct wait_queue_t" is used in several places in the kernel code without beeing initialized by init_wait(). "flags" is used in bitwise operations. If "flags" not initialized then unexpected behaviour may take place. Incorrect flags might used later in code. Added initialization of "wait_queue_t.flags" with zero value into "init_wait". Signed-off-by: Evgeny Kuznetsov <EXT-Eugeny.Kuznetsov@nokia.com> [ The bit we care about does end up being initialized by both prepare_to_wait() and add_to_wait_queue(), so this doesn't seem to cause actual bugs, but is definitely the right thing to do -Linus ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2010-10-05modules: Fix module_bug_list list corruption raceLinus Torvalds
With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it possible to do most of the module loading in parallel. However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling. That code was doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific "module_finalize()" rather than from generic code. Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the module loading lock any more. So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations are now safe. Future fixups: - move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it belongs. - get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules (called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain for other reasons.

2010-10-05xen: do not initialize PV timers on HVM if !xen_have_vector_callbackStefano Stabellini
if !xen_have_vector_callback do not initialize PV timer unconditionally because we still don't know how many cpus are available and if there is more than one we won't be able to receive the timer interrupts on cpu > 0. This patch fixes an hang at boot when Xen does not support vector callbacks and the guest has multiple vcpus.
