kernel: add panic_on_warn

2014-12-11T01:41:10+00:00

There have been several times where I have had to rebuild a kernel to cause a panic when hitting a WARN() in the code in order to get a crash dump from a system. Sometimes this is easy to do, other times (such as in the case of a remote admin) it is not trivial to send new images to the user. A much easier method would be a switch to change the WARN() over to a panic. This makes debugging easier in that I can now test the actual image the WARN() was seen on and I do not have to engage in remote debugging. This patch adds a panic_on_warn kernel parameter and /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_warn calls panic() in the warn_slowpath_common() path. The function will still print out the location of the warning. An example of the panic_on_warn output: The first line below is from the WARN_ON() to output the WARN_ON()'s location. After that the panic() output is displayed.

do_wait() is a big wait loop, but we set TASK_RUNNING too late; we end up calling potential sleeps before we reset it.

include/linux/kernel.h: rewrite min3, max3 and clamp using min and max

2014-10-10T02:26:03+00:00

It appears that gcc is better at optimising a double call to min and max rather than open coded min3 and max3. This can be observed here: $ cat min-max.c #define min(x, y) ({ \ typeof(x) _min1 = (x); \ typeof(y) _min2 = (y); \ (void) (&_min1 == &_min2); \ _min1 < _min2 ? _min1 : _min2; }) #define min3(x, y, z) ({ \ typeof(x) _min1 = (x); \ typeof(y) _min2 = (y); \ typeof(z) _min3 = (z); \ (void) (&_min1 == &_min2); \ (void) (&_min1 == &_min3); \ _min1 < _min2 ? (_min1 < _min3 ? _min1 : _min3) : \ (_min2 < _min3 ? _min2 : _min3); }) int fmin3(int x, int y, int z) { return min3(x, y, z); } int fmin2(int x, int y, int z) { return min(min(x, y), z); } $ gcc -O2 -o min-max.s -S min-max.c; cat min-max.s .file "min-max.c" .text .p2align 4,,15 .globl fmin3 .type fmin3, @function fmin3: .LFB0: .cfi_startproc cmpl %esi, %edi jl .L5 cmpl %esi, %edx movl %esi, %eax cmovle %edx, %eax ret .p2align 4,,10 .p2align 3 .L5: cmpl %edi, %edx movl %edi, %eax cmovle %edx, %eax ret .cfi_endproc .LFE0: .size fmin3, .-fmin3 .p2align 4,,15 .globl fmin2 .type fmin2, @function fmin2: .LFB1: .cfi_startproc cmpl %edi, %esi movl %edx, %eax cmovle %esi, %edi cmpl %edx, %edi cmovle %edi, %eax ret .cfi_endproc .LFE1: .size fmin2, .-fmin2 .ident "GCC: (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3" .section .note.GNU-stack,"",@progbits fmin3 function, which uses open-coded min3 macro, is compiled into total of ten instructions including a conditional branch, whereas fmin2 function, which uses two calls to min2 macro, is compiled into six instructions with no branches. Similarly, open-coded clamp produces the same code as clamp using min and max macros, but the latter is much shorter: $ cat clamp.c #define clamp(val, min, max) ({ \ typeof(val) __val = (val); \ typeof(min) __min = (min); \ typeof(max) __max = (max); \ (void) (&__val == &__min); \ (void) (&__val == &__max); \ __val = __val < __min ? __min: __val; \ __val > __max ? __max: __val; }) #define min(x, y) ({ \ typeof(x) _min1 = (x); \ typeof(y) _min2 = (y); \ (void) (&_min1 == &_min2); \ _min1 < _min2 ? _min1 : _min2; }) #define max(x, y) ({ \ typeof(x) _max1 = (x); \ typeof(y) _max2 = (y); \ (void) (&_max1 == &_max2); \ _max1 > _max2 ? _max1 : _max2; }) int fclamp(int v, int min, int max) { return clamp(v, min, max); } int fclampmm(int v, int min, int max) { return min(max(v, min), max); } $ gcc -O2 -o clamp.s -S clamp.c; cat clamp.s .file "clamp.c" .text .p2align 4,,15 .globl fclamp .type fclamp, @function fclamp: .LFB0: .cfi_startproc cmpl %edi, %esi movl %edx, %eax cmovge %esi, %edi cmpl %edx, %edi cmovle %edi, %eax ret .cfi_endproc .LFE0: .size fclamp, .-fclamp .p2align 4,,15 .globl fclampmm .type fclampmm, @function fclampmm: .LFB1: .cfi_startproc cmpl %edi, %esi cmovge %esi, %edi cmpl %edi, %edx movl %edi, %eax cmovle %edx, %eax ret .cfi_endproc .LFE1: .size fclampmm, .-fclampmm .ident "GCC: (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3" .section .note.GNU-stack,"",@progbits Linux mpn-glaptop 3.13.0-29-generic #53~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 4 22:06:25 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3 Copyright (C) 2011 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
