2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo1-0/+1
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2010-03-29ARM: 6005/1: arm: kprobes: fix register corruption with jprobesMika Westerberg1-1/+9
Current implementation of jprobes allocates empty pt_regs from the stack which is then passed to kprobe_handler() and eventually to singlestep(). Now when instruction being simulated is STMFD (like in normal function prologues without CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER), stores using SP actually write over top of the fabricated pt_regs structure. This can be reproduced for example by using LKDTM module: # modprobe lkdtm # mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug # echo PANIC > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/INT_HW_IRQ_EN after this, it fails with corrupted registers (before the requested crash would occur): lkdtm: Crash point INT_HW_IRQ_EN of type PANIC hit, trigger in 9 rounds lkdtm: Crash point INT_HW_IRQ_EN of type PANIC hit, trigger in 8 rounds Internal error: Oops - undefined instruction: 0 [#1] last sysfs file: /sys/devices/platform/serial8250.0/sleep_timeout Modules linked in: lkdtm CPU: 0 Not tainted (2.6.34-rc2 #69) PC is at irq_desc+0x1638/0xeeb0 LR is at 0x25 pc : [<c050b428>] lr : [<00000025>] psr: c80a0013 sp : ce94bd60 ip : c050b3e8 fp : a0000013 r10: c0aa453c r9 : cf5d4000 r8 : ce9a1822 r7 : c050b424 r6 : 00000025 r5 : c039d8f8 r4 : c050b3e8 r3 : 00000001 r2 : cf4d0440 r1 : c039d8f8 r0 : 00000020 Flags: NZcv IRQs on FIQs on Mode SVC_32 ISA ARM Segment user Control: 10c5387d Table: 8e804019 DAC: 00000015 Process sh (pid: 496, stack limit = 0xce94a2e8) Stack: (0xce94bd60 to 0xce94c000) [...] Code: 000002cd 00000000 00000000 00000001 (dead4ead) ---[ end trace 2b46d5f2b682f370 ]--- Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt This patch allocates enough space (2 * sizeof(struct pt_regs)) from the stack to prevent such corruption.

2009-09-21ARM: 5715/1: Make kprobes unregistration SMP safeFrederic Riss1-2/+17
ARM kprobes use an illegal instruction to trigger kprobes. In the current implementation, there's a race between the unregistration of a kprobe and the illegal instruction exception handler if they run at the same time on different cores. When reading the value of the undefined instruction, the exception handler might get the original legal instruction as just patched concurrently by arch_disarm_kprobe(). When this happen the kprobe handler won't run, and thus the exception handler will oops because it believe it just hit an undefined instruction in kernel space. The following patch synchronizes the code patching in the kprobes unregistration using stop_machine and thus avoids the above race.

2008-07-25kprobes: improve kretprobe scalability with hashed lockingSrinivasa D S1-4/+2
Currently list of kretprobe instances are stored in kretprobe object (as used_instances,free_instances) and in kretprobe hash table. We have one global kretprobe lock to serialise the access to these lists. This causes only one kretprobe handler to execute at a time. Hence affects system performance, particularly on SMP systems and when return probe is set on lot of functions (like on all systemcalls). Solution proposed here gives fine-grain locks that performs better on SMP system compared to present kretprobe implementation. Solution: 1) Instead of having one global lock to protect kretprobe instances present in kretprobe object and kretprobe hash table. We will have two locks, one lock for protecting kretprobe hash table and another lock for kretporbe object. 2) We hold lock present in kretprobe object while we modify kretprobe instance in kretprobe object and we hold per-hash-list lock while modifying kretprobe instances present in that hash list. To prevent deadlock, we never grab a per-hash-list lock while holding a kretprobe lock. 3) We can remove used_instances from struct kretprobe, as we can track used instances of kretprobe instances using kretprobe hash table.

2008-01-26ARM kprobes: core codeAbhishek Sagar1-0/+453
This is a full implementation of Kprobes including Jprobes and Kretprobes support. This ARM implementation does not follow the usual kprobes double- exception model. The traditional model is where the initial kprobes breakpoint calls kprobe_handler(), which returns from exception to execute the instruction in its original context, then immediately re-enters after a second breakpoint (or single-stepping exception) into post_kprobe_handler(), each time the probe is hit.. The ARM implementation only executes one kprobes exception per hit, so no post_kprobe_handler() phase. All side-effects from the kprobe'd instruction are resolved before returning from the initial exception. As a result, all instructions are _always_ effectively boosted regardless of the type of instruction, and even regardless of whether or not there is a post-handler for the probe.
