The section mismatch analysis is always performed after a full

|
additional steps to occur:
|
|
|
|
|
- Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc commands.
|
|
|
|
|
When inlining a function annotated with __init in a non-init
|
|
|
|
|
function, we would lose the section information and thus
|
2008-01-22 04:31:44 +08:00
|
|
|
the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
|
2011-04-17 12:08:48 +08:00
|
|
|
This option tells gcc to inline less (but it does result in
|
|
|
|
|
a larger kernel).
|
|
|
|
|
- Run the section mismatch analysis for each module/built-in.o file.
|
|
|
|
|
When we run the section mismatch analysis on vmlinux.o, we
|
2008-01-30 18:13:23 +08:00
|
|
|
lose valueble information about where the mismatch was
|
2008-01-22 04:31:44 +08:00
|
|
|
introduced.
|
|
|
|
|
Running the analysis for each module/built-in.o file
|
2011-04-17 12:08:48 +08:00
|
|
|
tells where the mismatch happens much closer to the
|
|
|
|
|
source. The drawback is that the same mismatch is
|
|
|
|
|
reported at least twice.
|
|

When a hung task is detected, the kernel will print the

current stack trace (which you should report), but the

task will stay in uninterruptible state. If lockdep is

This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
|
|
|
|
|
that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
|
|
|
|
|
correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
|
|
|
|
|
not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
|
|
|
|
|
sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
|
|
|
|
|
arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
|
|
|
|
|
deadlock.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
|
|
|
|
|
related deadlocks before they actually occur.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
|
|
|
|
|
deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
|
|
|
|
|
participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
|
|
|
|
|
for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
|
|
|
|
|
timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
|
|
|
|
|
theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
|
|
|
|
|
is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
|
|
|
|
|
reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
|
|
|
|
|
makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
|
|
|
|
|
observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
|
|
|
|
|
kernel reports nothing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
|
|
|
|
|
and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
|
|
|
|
|
different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
|
|
|
|
|
the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
|
|
|
|
|
arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

Also includes rbtree invariant checks.

rbtree: add prio tree and interval tree tests
Patch 1 implements support for interval trees, on top of the augmented
rbtree API. It also adds synthetic tests to compare the performance of
interval trees vs prio trees. Short answers is that interval trees are
slightly faster (~25%) on insert/erase, and much faster (~2.4 - 3x)
on search. It is debatable how realistic the synthetic test is, and I have
not made such measurements yet, but my impression is that interval trees
would still come out faster.
Patch 2 uses a preprocessor template to make the interval tree generic,
and uses it as a replacement for the vma prio_tree.
Patch 3 takes the other prio_tree user, kmemleak, and converts it to use
a basic rbtree. We don't actually need the augmented rbtree support here
because the intervals are always non-overlapping.
Patch 4 removes the now-unused prio tree library.
Patch 5 proposes an additional optimization to rb_erase_augmented, now
providing it as an inline function so that the augmented callbacks can be
inlined in. This provides an additional 5-10% performance improvement
for the interval tree insert/erase benchmark. There is a maintainance cost
as it exposes augmented rbtree users to some of the rbtree library internals;
however I think this cost shouldn't be too high as I expect the augmented
rbtree will always have much less users than the base rbtree.
I should probably add a quick summary of why I think it makes sense to
replace prio trees with augmented rbtree based interval trees now. One of
the drivers is that we need augmented rbtrees for Rik's vma gap finding
code, and once you have them, it just makes sense to use them for interval
trees as well, as this is the simpler and more well known algorithm. prio
trees, in comparison, seem *too* clever: they impose an additional 'heap'
constraint on the tree, which they use to guarantee a faster worst-case
complexity of O(k+log N) for stabbing queries in a well-balanced prio
tree, vs O(k*log N) for interval trees (where k=number of matches,
N=number of intervals). Now this sounds great, but in practice prio trees
don't realize this theorical benefit. First, the additional constraint
makes them harder to update, so that the kernel implementation has to
simplify things by balancing them like a radix tree, which is not always
ideal. Second, the fact that there are both index and heap properties
makes both tree manipulation and search more complex, which results in a
higher multiplicative time constant. As it turns out, the simple interval
tree algorithm ends up running faster than the more clever prio tree.
This patch:
Add two test modules:
- prio_tree_test measures the performance of lib/prio_tree.c, both for
insertion/removal and for stabbing searches
- interval_tree_test measures the performance of a library of equivalent
functionality, built using the augmented rbtree support.
In order to support the second test module, lib/interval_tree.c is
introduced. It is kept separate from the interval_tree_test main file
for two reasons: first we don't want to provide an unfair advantage
over prio_tree_test by having everything in a single compilation unit,
and second there is the possibility that the interval tree functionality
could get some non-test users in kernel over time.

x86: early boot debugging via FireWire (ohci1394_dma=early)
This patch adds a new configuration option, which adds support for a new
early_param which gets checked in arch/x86/kernel/setup_{32,64}.c:setup_arch()
to decide wether OHCI-1394 FireWire controllers should be initialized and
enabled for physical DMA access to allow remote debugging of early problems
like issues ACPI or other subsystems which are executed very early.
If the config option is not enabled, no code is changed, and if the boot
paramenter is not given, no new code is executed, and independent of that,
all new code is freed after boot, so the config option can be even enabled
in standard, non-debug kernels.
With specialized tools, it is then possible to get debugging information
from machines which have no serial ports (notebooks) such as the printk
buffer contents, or any data which can be referenced from global pointers,
if it is stored below the 4GB limit and even memory dumps of of the physical
RAM region below the 4GB limit can be taken without any cooperation from the
CPU of the host, so the machine can be crashed early, it does not matter.
In the extreme, even kernel debuggers can be accessed in this way. I wrote
a small kgdb module and an accompanying gdb stub for FireWire which allows
to gdb to talk to kgdb using remote remory reads and writes over FireWire.
An version of the gdb stub fore FireWire is able to read all global data
from a system which is running a a normal kernel without any kernel debugger,
without any interruption or support of the system's CPU. That way, e.g. the
task struct and so on can be read and even manipulated when the physical DMA
access is granted.

If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
|
|
|
|
|
on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
|
|
|
|
|
this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
|
|
|
|
|
over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
|
|
|
|
|
specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
|
|
|
|
|
firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
|
|
|
|
|
Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
|
|
|
|
|
all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
|
|
|
|
|
devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
|
|
|
|
|
devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
|
|
|
|
|
the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
|
|
|
|
|
in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

docsrc: build Documentation/ sources
Currently source files in the Documentation/ sub-dir can easily bit-rot
since they are not generally buildable, either because they are hidden in
text files or because there are no Makefile rules for them. This needs to
be fixed so that the source files remain usable and good examples of code
instead of bad examples.
Add the ability to build source files that are in the Documentation/ dir.
Add to Kconfig as "BUILD_DOCSRC" config symbol.
Use "CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC=1 make ..." to build objects from the
Documentation/ sources. Or enable BUILD_DOCSRC in the *config system.
However, this symbol depends on HEADERS_CHECK since the header files need
to be installed (for userspace builds).

driver core: basic infrastructure for per-module dynamic debug messages
Base infrastructure to enable per-module debug messages.
I've introduced CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG, which when enabled centralizes
control of debugging statements on a per-module basis in one /proc file,
currently, <debugfs>/dynamic_printk/modules. When, CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG,
is not set, debugging statements can still be enabled as before, often by
defining 'DEBUG' for the proper compilation unit. Thus, this patch set has no
affect when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is not set.
The infrastructure currently ties into all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls. That
is, if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is set, all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls
can be dynamically enabled/disabled on a per-module basis.
Future plans include extending this functionality to subsystems, that define
their own debug levels and flags.
Usage:
Dynamic debugging is controlled by the debugfs file,
<debugfs>/dynamic_printk/modules. This file contains a list of the modules that
can be enabled. The format of the file is as follows:
<module_name> <enabled=0/1>
.
.
.
<module_name> : Name of the module in which the debug call resides
<enabled=0/1> : whether the messages are enabled or not
For example:
snd_hda_intel enabled=0
fixup enabled=1
driver enabled=0
Enable a module:
$echo "set enabled=1 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules
Disable a module:
$echo "set enabled=0 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules
Enable all modules:
$echo "set enabled=1 all" > dynamic_printk/modules
Disable all modules:
$echo "set enabled=0 all" > dynamic_printk/modules
Finally, passing "dynamic_printk" at the command line enables
debugging for all modules. This mode can be turned off via the above
