oprofile, x86: Fix nmi-unsafe callgraph support
Current oprofile's x86 callgraph support may trigger page faults throwing the BUG_ON(in_nmi()) message below. This patch fixes this by using the same nmi-safe copy-from-user code as in perf. ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at .../arch/x86/kernel/traps.c:436! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP last sysfs file: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0a.0/0000:07:00.0/0000:08:04.0/net/eth0/broadcast CPU 5 Modules linked in: Pid: 8611, comm: opcontrol Not tainted 2.6.39-00007-gfe47ae7 #1 Advanced Micro Device Anaheim/Anaheim RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff813e8e35>] [<ffffffff813e8e35>] do_nmi+0x22/0x1ee RSP: 0000:ffff88042fd47f28 EFLAGS: 00010002 RAX: ffff88042c0a7fd8 RBX: 0000000000000001 RCX: 00000000c0000101 RDX: 00000000ffff8804 RSI: ffffffffffffffff RDI: ffff88042fd47f58 RBP: ffff88042fd47f48 R08: 0000000000000004 R09: 0000000000001484 R10: 0000000000000001 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffff88042fd47f58 R13: 0000000000000000 R14: ffff88042fd47d98 R15: 0000000000000020 FS: 00007fca25e56700(0000) GS:ffff88042fd40000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000000074 CR3: 000000042d28b000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process opcontrol (pid: 8611, threadinfo ffff88042c0a6000, task ffff88042c532310) Stack: 0000000000000000 0000000000000001 ffff88042c0a7fd8 0000000000000000 ffff88042fd47de8 ffffffff813e897a 0000000000000020 ffff88042fd47d98 0000000000000000 ffff88042c0a7fd8 ffff88042fd47de8 0000000000000074 Call Trace: <NMI> [<ffffffff813e897a>] nmi+0x1a/0x20 [<ffffffff813f08ab>] ? bad_to_user+0x25/0x771 <<EOE>> Code: ff 59 5b 41 5c 41 5d c9 c3 55 65 48 8b 04 25 88 b5 00 00 48 89 e5 41 55 41 54 49 89 fc 53 48 83 ec 08 f6 80 47 e0 ff ff 04 74 04 <0f> 0b eb fe 81 80 44 e0 ff ff 00 00 01 04 65 ff 04 25 c4 0f 01 RIP [<ffffffff813e8e35>] do_nmi+0x22/0x1ee RSP <ffff88042fd47f28> ---[ end trace ed6752185092104b ]--- Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt Pid: 8611, comm: opcontrol Tainted: G D 2.6.39-00007-gfe47ae7 #1 Call Trace: <NMI> [<ffffffff813e5e0a>] panic+0x8c/0x188 [<ffffffff813e915c>] oops_end+0x81/0x8e [<ffffffff8100403d>] die+0x55/0x5e [<ffffffff813e8c45>] do_trap+0x11c/0x12b [<ffffffff810023c8>] do_invalid_op+0x91/0x9a [<ffffffff813e8e35>] ? do_nmi+0x22/0x1ee [<ffffffff8131e6fa>] ? oprofile_add_sample+0x83/0x95 [<ffffffff81321670>] ? op_amd_check_ctrs+0x4f/0x2cf [<ffffffff813ee4d5>] invalid_op+0x15/0x20 [<ffffffff813e8e35>] ? do_nmi+0x22/0x1ee [<ffffffff813e8e7a>] ? do_nmi+0x67/0x1ee [<ffffffff813e897a>] nmi+0x1a/0x20 [<ffffffff813f08ab>] ? bad_to_user+0x25/0x771 <<EOE>> Cc: John Lumby <johnlumby@hotmail.com> Cc: Maynard Johnson <maynardj@us.ibm.com> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> # .37+ Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>
