2017-03-08stacktrace/x86: add function for detecting reliable stack tracesJosh Poimboeuf1-2/+10
For live patching and possibly other use cases, a stack trace is only useful if it can be assured that it's completely reliable. Add a new save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable() function to achieve that. Note that if the target task isn't the current task, and the target task is allowed to run, then it could be writing the stack while the unwinder is reading it, resulting in possible corruption. So the caller of save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable() must ensure that the task is either 'current' or inactive. save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable() relies on the x86 unwinder's detection of pt_regs on the stack. If the pt_regs are not user-mode registers from a syscall, then they indicate an in-kernel interrupt or exception (e.g. preemption or a page fault), in which case the stack is considered unreliable due to the nature of frame pointers. It also relies on the x86 unwinder's detection of other issues, such as: - corrupted stack data - stack grows the wrong way - stack walk doesn't reach the bottom - user didn't provide a large enough entries array Such issues are reported by checking unwind_error() and !unwind_done(). Also add CONFIG_HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE so arch-independent code can determine at build time whether the function is implemented.

2017-02-08stacktrace, lockdep: Fix address, newline uglinessOmar Sandoval1-8/+4
Since KERN_CONT became meaningful again, lockdep stack traces have had annoying extra newlines, like this: [ 5.561122] -> #1 (B){+.+...}: [ 5.561528] [ 5.561532] [<ffffffff810d8873>] lock_acquire+0xc3/0x210 [ 5.562178] [ 5.562181] [<ffffffff816f6414>] mutex_lock_nested+0x74/0x6d0 [ 5.562861] [ 5.562880] [<ffffffffa01aa3c3>] init_btrfs_fs+0x21/0x196 [btrfs] [ 5.563717] [ 5.563721] [<ffffffff81000472>] do_one_initcall+0x52/0x1b0 [ 5.564554] [ 5.564559] [<ffffffff811a3af6>] do_init_module+0x5f/0x209 [ 5.565357] [ 5.565361] [<ffffffff81122f4d>] load_module+0x218d/0x2b80 [ 5.566020] [ 5.566021] [<ffffffff81123beb>] SyS_finit_module+0xeb/0x120 [ 5.566694] [ 5.566696] [<ffffffff816fd241>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x1f/0xc2 That's happening because each printk() call now gets printed on its own line, and we do a separate call to print the spaces before the symbol. Fix it by doing the printk() directly instead of using the print_ip_sym() helper. Additionally, the symbol address isn't very helpful, so let's get rid of that, too. The final result looks like this: [ 5.194518] -> #1 (B){+.+...}: [ 5.195002] lock_acquire+0xc3/0x210 [ 5.195439] mutex_lock_nested+0x74/0x6d0 [ 5.196491] do_one_initcall+0x52/0x1b0 [ 5.196939] do_init_module+0x5f/0x209 [ 5.197355] load_module+0x218d/0x2b80 [ 5.197792] SyS_finit_module+0xeb/0x120 [ 5.198251] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x1f/0xc2 Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: kernel-team@fb.com Fixes: 4bcc595ccd80 ("printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing continuation lines") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/43b4e114724b2bdb0308fa86cb33aa07d3d67fad.1486510315.git.osandov@fb.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
2014-12-13stacktrace: introduce snprint_stack_trace for buffer outputJoonsoo Kim1-0/+32
Current stacktrace only have the function for console output. page_owner that will be introduced in following patch needs to print the output of stacktrace into the buffer for our own output format so so new function, snprint_stack_trace(), is needed.

2011-10-31kernel: Map most files to use export.h instead of module.hPaul Gortmaker1-1/+1
The changed files were only including linux/module.h for the EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure, and nothing else. Revector them onto the isolated export header for faster compile times. Nothing to see here but a whole lot of instances of: -#include <linux/module.h> +#include <linux/export.h> This commit is only changing the kernel dir; next targets will probably be mm, fs, the arch dirs, etc. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>

2008-05-24stacktrace: don't crash on invalid stack trace structsJohannes Berg1-0/+3
This patch makes the stacktrace printout code \warn when the entries pointer is unset rather than crashing when trying to access it in an attempt to make it a bit more robust. I was saving a stacktrace into an skb and forgot to copy it across skb copies... I have since fixed the code, but it would have been easier had the kernel not crashed in an interrupt.
