2009-06-12module: trim exception table on init free.Rusty Russell1-1/+20
It's theoretically possible that there are exception table entries which point into the (freed) init text of modules. These could cause future problems if other modules get loaded into that memory and cause an exception as we'd see the wrong fixup. The only case I know of is kvm-intel.ko (when CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=n). Amerigo fixed this long-standing FIXME in the x86 version, but this patch is more general. This implements trim_init_extable(); most archs are simple since they use the standard lib/extable.c sort code. Alpha and IA64 use relative addresses in their fixups, so thier trimming is a slight variation. Sparc32 is unique; it doesn't seem to define ARCH_HAS_SORT_EXTABLE, yet it defines its own sort_extable() which overrides the one in lib. It doesn't sort, so we have to mark deleted entries instead of actually trimming them.

2009-06-07dma-debug: change hash_bucket_find from first-fit to best-fitJoerg Roedel1-4/+39
Some device drivers map the same physical address multiple times to a dma address. Without an IOMMU this results in the same dma address being put into the dma-debug hash multiple times. With a first-fit match in hash_bucket_find() this function may return the wrong dma_debug_entry. This can result in false positive warnings. This patch fixes it by changing the first-fit behavior of hash_bucket_find() into a best-fit algorithm.

DMA-mapping.txt says that debug_dma_sync_sg family must be called with the _same_ one you passed into the dma_map_sg call, it should _NOT_ be the 'count' value _returned_ from the dma_map_sg call. debug_dma_sync_sg_for_cpu and debug_dma_sync_sg_for_device can't handle this properly; they need to use the sg_mapped_ents in struct dma_debug_entry as debug_dma_unmap_sg() does.

debug_dma_map_sg() and debug_dma_unmap_sg() use length in struct scatterlist while debug_dma_sync_sg_for_cpu() and debug_dma_sync_sg_for_device() use dma_length. This causes bugs warnings on some IOMMU implementations since these values are not same; the length doesn't represent the dma length.

2009-04-29vsprintf: introduce %pf format specifierFrederic Weisbecker1-6/+13
A printf format specifier which would allow us to print a pure function name has been suggested by Andrew Morton a couple of months ago. The current %pF is very convenient to print a function symbol, but often we only want to print the name of the function, without its asm offset. That's what %pf does in this patch. The lowecase f has been chosen for its intuitive meaning of a 'weak kind of %pF'. The support for this new format would be welcome by the tracing code where the need to print pure function names is often needed. This is also true for other parts of the kernel: $ git-grep -E "kallsyms_lookup\(.+?\)" arch/blackfin/kernel/traps.c: symname = kallsyms_lookup(address, &symsize, &offset, &modname, namebuf); arch/powerpc/xmon/xmon.c: name = kallsyms_lookup(pc, &size, &offset, NULL, tmpstr); arch/sh/kernel/cpu/sh5/unwind.c: sym = kallsyms_lookup(pc, NULL, &offset, NULL, namebuf); arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup((unsigned long) syscall, NULL, NULL, NULL, str); kernel/kprobes.c: sym = kallsyms_lookup((unsigned long)p->addr, NULL, kernel/lockdep.c: return kallsyms_lookup((unsigned long)key, NULL, NULL, NULL, str); kernel/trace/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str); kernel/trace/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str); kernel/trace/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup((unsigned long)rec->ops->func, NULL, NULL, NULL, str); kernel/trace/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str); kernel/trace/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str); kernel/trace/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, &modname, str); kernel/trace/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup(*ptr, NULL, NULL, NULL, str); kernel/trace/trace_functions.c: kallsyms_lookup(ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str); kernel/trace/trace_output.c: kallsyms_lookup(address, NULL, NULL, NULL, str); Changes in v2: - Add the explanation of the %pf role for vsnprintf() and bstr_printf() - Change the comments by dropping the "asm offset" notion and only define the %pf against the actual function offset notion.

The feature needs some more work because the notfier which is used to check for pending allocations is called before the device drivers ->remove() function. Therefore this feature reports false positives. A real fix for this issue is to introduce a new notifier event which sent _after_ the driver has deinitialized itself.

2009-04-16Revert "kobject: don't block for each kobject_uevent".Hugh Dickins1-1/+1
This reverts commit f520360d93cdc37de5d972dac4bf3bdef6a7f6a7. Tetsuo Handa, running a kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y and CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH=/sbin/hotplug, has been hitting RCU detected CPU stalls: it's been spinning in the loop where do_execve() counts up the args (but why wasn't fixup_exception working? dunno). The recent change, switching kobject_uevent_env() from UMH_WAIT_EXEC to UMH_NO_WAIT, is broken: the exec uses args on the local stack here, and an env which is kfreed as soon as call_usermodehelper() returns. It very much needs to wait for the exec to be done. An alternative would be to keep the UMH_NO_WAIT, and complicate the code to allocate and free these resources correctly? but no, as GregKH pointed out when making the commit, CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH="" is a much better optimization - though some distros are still saying /sbin/hotplug in their .config, yet with no such binary in their initrd or their root.

2009-04-12lockdep: warn about lockdep disabling after kernel taintFrederic Weisbecker1-1/+1
Impact: provide useful missing info for developers Kernel taint can occur in several situations such as warnings, load of prorietary or staging modules, bad page, etc... But when such taint happens, a developer might still be working on the kernel, expecting that lockdep is still enabled. But a taint disables lockdep without ever warning about it. Such a kernel behaviour doesn't really help for kernel development. This patch adds this missing warning. Since the taint is done most of the time after the main message that explain the real source issue, it seems safe to warn about it inside add_taint() so that it appears at last, without hurting the main information. v2: Use a generic helper to disable lockdep instead of an open coded xchg().

2009-04-08printk: add support of hh length modifier for printkZhaolei1-5/+32
Impact: new feature, extend vsprintf format strings hh is used as length modifier for signed char or unsigned char. It is supported by glibc, we add kernel support now.

2009-04-08swiotlb: change swiotlb_bus_to[phys,virt] prototypesBecky Bruce1-5/+5
Add a hwdev argument that is needed on some architectures in order to access a per-device offset that is taken into account when producing a physical address (also needed to get from bus address to virtual address because the physical address is an intermediate step). Also make swiotlb_bus_to_virt weak so architectures can override it.

2009-04-08swiotlb: use swiotlb_sync_single instead of duplicating codeBecky Bruce1-18/+12
Right now both swiotlb_sync_single_range and swiotlb_sync_sg were duplicating the code in swiotlb_sync_single. Just call it instead. Also rearrange the sync_single code for readability. Note that the swiotlb_sync_sg code was previously doing a complicated comparison to determine if an addresses needed to be unmapped where a simple is_swiotlb_buffer() call would have sufficed.

Previously, swiotlb_unmap_page and swiotlb_unmap_sg were duplicating very similar code. Refactor that code into a new unmap_single and unmap_single use do_unmap_single.
