lib: introduce common method to convert hex digits

2010-05-25T15:07:05+00:00

hex_to_bin() is a little method which converts hex digit to its actual value. There are plenty of places where such functionality is needed.

printk_ratelimited(): fix uninitialized spinlock

2010-05-25T15:07:03+00:00

ratelimit_state initialization of printk_ratelimited() seems broken. This fixes it by using DEFINE_RATELIMIT_STATE() to initialize spinlock properly. Signed-off-by: OGAWA Hirofumi Cc: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kernel.h: add pr_warn for symmetry to dev_warn, netdev_warn

2010-05-25T15:07:03+00:00

The current logging macros are pr_, dev_, netdev_, and netif_. pr_ uses warning, the other use warn. Standardize these logging macros a bit more by adding pr_warn and pr_warn_ratelimited. Right now, there are: $ for level in emerg alert crit err warn warning notice info ; do \ for prefix in pr dev netdev netif ; do \ echo -n "${prefix}_${level}: `git grep -w "${prefix}_${level}" | wc -l` " ; \ done ; \ echo ; \ done pr_emerg: 45 dev_emerg: 4 netdev_emerg: 1 netif_emerg: 4 pr_alert: 24 dev_alert: 36 netdev_alert: 1 netif_alert: 6 pr_crit: 24 dev_crit: 22 netdev_crit: 1 netif_crit: 4 pr_err: 2013 dev_err: 8467 netdev_err: 267 netif_err: 240 pr_warn: 0 dev_warn: 1818 netdev_warn: 126 netif_warn: 23 pr_warning: 773 dev_warning: 0 netdev_warning: 0 netif_warning: 0 pr_notice: 148 dev_notice: 111 netdev_notice: 9 netif_notice: 3 pr_info: 1717 dev_info: 3007 netdev_info: 101 netif_info: 85 Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kernel-wide: replace USHORT_MAX, SHORT_MAX and SHORT_MIN with USHRT_MAX, SHRT_MAX and SHRT_MIN

2010-05-25T15:07:02+00:00

- C99 knows about USHRT_MAX/SHRT_MAX/SHRT_MIN, not USHORT_MAX/SHORT_MAX/SHORT_MIN. - Make SHRT_MIN of type s16, not int, for consistency.

tracing: Dump either the oops's cpu source or all cpus buffers

2010-04-21T21:11:42+00:00

The ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter, sysctl and sysrq let one dump every cpu buffers when an oops or panic happens. It's nice when you have few cpus but it may take ages if have many, plus you miss the real origin of the problem in all the cpu traces. Sometimes, all you need is to dump the cpu buffer that triggered the opps, most of the time it is our main interest. This patch modifies ftrace_dump_on_oops to handle this choice. The ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter, when it comes alone, has the same behaviour than before. But ftrace_dump_on_oops=orig_cpu will only dump the buffer of the cpu that oops'ed. Similarly, sysctl kernel.ftrace_dump_on_oops=1 and echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops keep their previous behaviour. But setting 2 jumps into cpu origin dump mode. v2: Fix double setup v3: Fix spelling issues reported by Randy Dunlap v4: Also update __ftrace_dump in the selftests Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker Acked-by: David S.
