2008-09-26kgdb, x86, arm, mips, powerpc: ignore user space single steppingJason Wessel
On the x86 arch, user space single step exceptions should be ignored if they occur in the kernel space, such as ptrace stepping through a system call. First check if it is kgdb that is executing a single step, then ensure it is not an accidental traversal into the user space, while in kgdb, any other time the TIF_SINGLESTEP is set, kgdb should ignore the exception. On x86, arm, mips and powerpc, the kgdb_contthread usage was inconsistent with the way single stepping is implemented in the kgdb core. The arch specific stub should always set the kgdb_cpu_doing_single_step correctly if it is single stepping. This allows kgdb to correctly process an instruction steps if ptrace happens to be requesting an instruction step over a system call. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

2008-08-09[ARM] prevent crashing when too much RAM installedLennert Buytenhek
This patch will truncate and/or ignore memory banks if their kernel direct mappings would (partially) overlap with the vmalloc area or the mappings between the vmalloc area and the address space top, to prevent crashing during early boot if there happens to be more RAM installed than we are expecting. Since the start of the vmalloc area is not at a fixed address (but the vmalloc end address is, via the per-platform VMALLOC_END define), a default area of 128M is reserved for vmalloc mappings, which can be shrunk or enlarged by passing an appropriate vmalloc= command line option as it is done on x86. On a board with a 3:1 user:kernel split, VMALLOC_END at 0xfe000000, two 512M RAM banks and vmalloc=128M (the default), this patch gives: Truncating RAM at 20000000-3fffffff to -35ffffff (vmalloc region overlap). Memory: 512MB 352MB = 864MB total On a board with a 3:1 user:kernel split, VMALLOC_END at 0xfe800000, two 256M RAM banks and vmalloc=768M, this patch gives: Truncating RAM at 00000000-0fffffff to -0e7fffff (vmalloc region overlap).

2008-08-07[ARM] Fix SMP booting with non-zero PHYS_OFFSETRussell King
The existing code tries to get the pmd for the temporary page table by doing: pgd = pgd_alloc(&init_mm); pmd = pmd_offset(pgd, PHYS_OFFSET); Since we have a two level page table, pmd_offset() is a no-op, so this just has a casting effect from a pgd to a pmd - the address argument is unused. So this can't work. Normally, we'd do: pgd = pgd_offset(&init_mm, PHYS_OFFSET); ... pmd = pmd_offset(pgd, PHYS_OFFSET); to get the pmd you want. However, pgd_offset() takes the mm_struct, not the (unattached) pgd we just allocated. So, instead use: pgd = pgd_alloc(&init_mm); pmd = pmd_offset(pgd + pgd_index(PHYS_OFFSET), PHYS_OFFSET); Reported-by: Antti P Miettinen <ananaza@iki.fi> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2008-07-25kprobes: improve kretprobe scalability with hashed lockingSrinivasa D S
Currently list of kretprobe instances are stored in kretprobe object (as used_instances,free_instances) and in kretprobe hash table. We have one global kretprobe lock to serialise the access to these lists. This causes only one kretprobe handler to execute at a time. Hence affects system performance, particularly on SMP systems and when return probe is set on lot of functions (like on all systemcalls). Solution proposed here gives fine-grain locks that performs better on SMP system compared to present kretprobe implementation. Solution: 1) Instead of having one global lock to protect kretprobe instances present in kretprobe object and kretprobe hash table. We will have two locks, one lock for protecting kretprobe hash table and another lock for kretporbe object. 2) We hold lock present in kretprobe object while we modify kretprobe instance in kretprobe object and we hold per-hash-list lock while modifying kretprobe instances present in that hash list. To prevent deadlock, we never grab a per-hash-list lock while holding a kretprobe lock. 3) We can remove used_instances from struct kretprobe, as we can track used instances of kretprobe instances using kretprobe hash table.

2008-07-24PAGE_ALIGN(): correctly handle 64-bit values on 32-bit architecturesAndrea Righi
On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit boundary. For example: u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size); always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB. The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for example): #define PAGE_SHIFT 12 #define PAGE_SIZE (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT) #define PAGE_MASK (~(PAGE_SIZE-1)) ... #define PAGE_ALIGN(addr) (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK) The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary. Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses typeof(addr) for the mask. Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in include/linux/mm.h.

This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things. I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86 machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups. I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype.

2008-07-18nohz: prevent tick stop outside of the idle loopThomas Gleixner
Jack Ren and Eric Miao tracked down the following long standing problem in the NOHZ code: scheduler switch to idle task enable interrupts Window starts here ----> interrupt happens (does not set NEED_RESCHED) irq_exit() stops the tick ----> interrupt happens (does set NEED_RESCHED) return from schedule() cpu_idle(): preempt_disable(); Window ends here The interrupts can happen at any point inside the race window. The first interrupt stops the tick, the second one causes the scheduler to rerun and switch away from idle again and we end up with the tick disabled. The fact that it needs two interrupts where the first one does not set NEED_RESCHED and the second one does made the bug obscure and extremly hard to reproduce and analyse. Kudos to Jack and Eric. Solution: Limit the NOHZ functionality to the idle loop to make sure that we can not run into such a situation ever again. cpu_idle() { preempt_disable(); while(1) { tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(1); <- tell NOHZ code that we are in the idle loop while (!need_resched()) halt(); tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(); <- disables NOHZ mode preempt_enable_no_resched(); schedule(); preempt_disable(); } } In hindsight we should have done this forever, but ... /me grabs a large brown paperbag.

2008-04-29proc: remove proc_root from driversAlexey Dobriyan
Remove proc_root export. Creation and removal works well if parent PDE is supplied as NULL -- it worked always that way. So, one useless export removed and consistency added, some drivers created PDEs with &proc_root as parent but removed them as NULL and so on.

2008-04-29proc: remove proc_busAlexey Dobriyan
Remove proc_bus export and variable itself. Using pathnames works fine and is slightly more understandable and greppable. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-04-28kprobes/arm: fix decoding of arithmetic immediate instructionsLennert Buytenhek
The ARM kprobes arithmetic immediate instruction decoder (space_cccc_001x()) was accidentally zero'ing out not only the Rn and Rd arguments, but the lower nibble of the immediate argument as well -- this patch fixes this.
