x86, kmemcheck: Remove double test

2010-08-30T07:19:28+00:00

The opcodes 0x2e and 0x3e are tested for in the first Group 2 line as well. The sematic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // @expression@ expression E; @@ ( * E || ... || E | * E && ... && E ) // Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Reviewed-by: Pekka Enberg Cc: Vegard Nossum LKML-Reference: <1283010066-20935-5-git-send-email-julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

2009-06-15T10:39:59+00:00

This patch moves the CONFIG_X86_64 ifdef out of kmemcheck_opcode_decode() by introducing a version of the function that always returns false for CONFIG_X86_32. Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg Signed-off-by: Vegard Nossum

kmemcheck: add the kmemcheck core

2009-06-13T13:37:30+00:00

General description: kmemcheck is a patch to the linux kernel that detects use of uninitialized memory. It does this by trapping every read and write to memory that was allocated dynamically (e.g. using kmalloc()). If a memory address is read that has not previously been written to, a message is printed to the kernel log. Thanks to Andi Kleen for the set_memory_4k() solution. Andrew Morton suggested documenting the shadow member of struct page.
