2009-02-05generic swap(): don't return a value from swap()Peter Zijlstra1-1/+2

2008-11-15Add 'pr_fmt()' format modifier to pr_xyz macros.Martin Schwidefsky1-19/+23
A common reason for device drivers to implement their own printk macros is the lack of a printk prefix with the standard pr_xyz macros. Introduce a pr_fmt() macro that is applied for every pr_xyz macro to the format string. The most common use of the pr_fmt macro would be to add the name of the device driver to all pr_xyz messages in a source file.

2008-10-16Make the taint flags reliableAndi Kleen1-12/+13
It's somewhat unlikely that it happens, but right now a race window between interrupts or machine checks or oopses could corrupt the tainted bitmap because it is modified in a non atomic fashion. Convert the taint variable to an unsigned long and use only atomic bit operations on it. Unfortunately this means the intvec sysctl functions cannot be used on it anymore. It turned out the taint sysctl handler could actually be simplified a bit (since it only increases capabilities) so this patch actually removes code.

2008-10-16driver core: basic infrastructure for per-module dynamic debug messagesJason Baron1-1/+6
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 disable command.

2008-10-11Staging: add TAINT_CRAP for all drivers/staging codeGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
We need to add a flag for all code that is in the drivers/staging/ directory to prevent all other kernel developers from worrying about issues here, and to notify users that the drivers might not be as good as they are normally used to. Based on code from Andreas Gruenbacher and Jeff Mahoney to provide a TAINT flag for the support level of a kernel module in the Novell enterprise kernel release. This is the kernel portion of this feature, the ability for the flag to be set needs to be done in the build process and will happen in a follow-up patch.

2008-09-23Introduce FW_BUG, FW_WARN and FW_INFO to consistenly tell users about BIOS bugsThomas Renninger1-0/+24
The idea is to add this to printk after the severity: printk(KERN_ERR FW_BUG "This is not our fault, BIOS developer: fix it by simply add ...\n"); If a Firmware issue should be hidden, because it is work-arounded, but you still want to see something popping up e.g. for info only: printk(KERN_INFO FW_INFO "This is done stupid, we can handle it, but it should better be avoided in future\n"); or on the Linuxfirmwarekit to tell vendors that they did something stupid or wrong without bothering the user: printk(KERN_INFO FW_BUG "This is done stupid, we can handle it, but it should better be avoided in future\n"); Some use cases: - If a user sees a [Firmware Bug] message in the kernel he should first update the BIOS before wasting time with debugging and submiting on old firmware code to mailing lists. - The linuxfirmwarekit (http://www.linuxfirmwarekit.org) tries to detect firmware bugs. It currently is doing that in userspace which results in: - Huge test scripts that could be a one liner in the kernel - A lot of BIOS bugs are already absorbed by the kernel What do we need such a stupid linuxfirmwarekit for? - Vendors: Can test their BIOSes for Linux compatibility. There will be the time when vendors realize that the test utils on Linux are more strict and using them increases the qualitity and stability of their products. - Vendors: Can easily fix up their BIOSes and be more Linux compatible by: dmesg |grep "Firmware Bug" and send the result to their BIOS developer colleagues who should know what the messages are about and how to fix them, without the need of studying kernel code. - Distributions: can do a first automated HW/BIOS checks. This can then be done without the need of asking kernel developers who need to dig down the code and explain the details. Certification can/will just be rejected until dmesg |grep "Firmware Bug" is empty. - Thus this can be used as an instrument to enforce cleaner BIOS code. Currently every stupid Windows ACPI bug is re-implemented in Linux which is a rather unfortunate situation. We already have the power to avoid this in e.g. memory or cpu hot-plug ACPI implementations, because Linux certification is a must for most vendors in the server area. Working towards being able to do that in the laptop area (vendors are starting to look at Linux here also and will use this tool) is the goal. At least provide them a tool to make it as easy for this guys (e.g. not needing to browse kernel code) as possible. - The ordinary Linux user: can go into the next shop, boots the firmwarekit on his most preferred machines. He chooses one without BIOS bugs. Unsupported HW is ok, he likes to try out latest projects which might support them or likes to dig on it on his own, but he hates to workaround broken BIOSes like hell. I double checked with the firmwarekit. There they have: So the mapping generally is (also depending on how likely the BIOS is to blame, this could sometimes be difficult): FW_INFO = INFO FW_WARN = WARN FW_BUG = FAIL For more info about the linuxfirmwarekit and why this is needed can be found here: http://www.linuxfirmwarekit.org While severity matches with the firmwarekit, it might be tricky to hide messages from the user. E.g. we recently found out that on HP BIOSes negative temperatures are returned, which seem to indicate that the thermal zone is invalid. We can work around that gracefully by ignoring the thermal zone and we do not want to bother the ordinary user with a frightening message: Firmware Bug: thermal management absolutely broken but want to hide it from the user. But in the linuxfirmwarekit this should be shown as a real show stopper (the temperatures could really be wrong, broken thermal management is one of the worst things that can happen and the BIOS guys of the machine must implement this properly). It is intended to do that (hide it from the user with KERN_INFO msg, but still print it as a BIOS bug) by: printk(KERN_INFO FW_BUG "Negativ temperature values detected. Try to workarounded, BIOS must get fixed\n"); Hope that works out..., no idea how to better hide it as printk is the only way to easily provide this functionality.

2008-04-29Taint kernel after WARN_ON(condition)Nur Hussein1-0/+1
The kernel is sent to tainted within the warn_on_slowpath() function, and whenever a warning occurs the new taint flag 'W' is set. This is useful to know if a warning occurred before a BUG by preserving the warning as a flag in the taint state. This does not work on architectures where WARN_ON has its own definition. These archs are: 1. s390 2. superh 3. avr32 4. parisc The maintainers of these architectures have been added in the Cc: list in this email to alert them to the situation. The documentation in oops-tracing.txt has been updated to include the new flag.

2008-04-20driver core: Convert debug functions declared inline __attribute__((format ↵Joe Perches1-4/+2
(printf,x,y) to statement expression macros When DEBUG is not defined, pr_debug and dev_dbg and some other local debugging functions are specified as: "inline __attribute__((format (printf, x, y)))" This is done to validate printk arguments when not debugging. Converting these functions to macros or statement expressions "do { if (0) printk(fmt, ##arg); } while (0)" or "({ if (0) printk(fmt, ##arg); 0; }) makes at least gcc 4.2.2 produce smaller objects. This has the additional benefit of allowing the optimizer to avoid calling functions like print_mac that might have been arguments to the printk. defconfig x86 current: $ size vmlinux text data bss dec hex filename 4716770 474560 618496 5809826 58a6a2 vmlinux all converted: (More patches follow) $ size vmlinux text data bss dec hex filename 4716642 474560 618496 5809698 58a622 vmlinux Even kernel/sched.o, which doesn't even use these functions, becomes smaller.

2008-02-08Add new string functions strict_strto* and convert kernel params to use themYi Yang1-0/+4
Currently, for every sysfs node, the callers will be responsible for implementing store operation, so many many callers are doing duplicate things to validate input, they have the same mistakes because they are calling simple_strtol/ul/ll/uul, especially for module params, they are just numeric, but you can echo such values as 0x1234xxx, 07777888 and 1234aaa, for these cases, module params store operation just ignores succesive invalid char and converts prefix part to a numeric although input is acctually invalid. This patch tries to fix the aforementioned issues and implements strict_strtox serial functions, kernel/params.c uses them to strictly validate input, so module params will reject such values as 0x1234xxxx and returns an error: write error: Invalid argument Any modules which export numeric sysfs node can use strict_strtox instead of simple_strtox to reject any invalid input.
