2009-06-15kmemcheck: add opcode self-testing at bootVegard Nossum4-17/+85
We've had some troubles in the past with weird instructions. This patch adds a self-test framework which can be used to verify that a certain set of opcodes are decoded correctly. Of course, the opcodes which are not tested can still give the wrong results. In short, this is just a safeguard to catch unintentional changes in the opcode decoder. It does not mean that errors can't still occur! [rebased for mainline inclusion] Signed-off-by: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com>

2009-06-15kmemcheck: make kconfig accessible for other architecturesPekka Enberg2-88/+1
The Kconfig options of kmemcheck are hidden under arch/x86 which makes porting to other architectures harder. To fix that, move the Kconfig bits to lib/Kconfig.kmemcheck and introduce a CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_KMEMCHECK config option that architectures can define.

2009-06-15kmemcheck: don't track page tablesVegard Nossum3-8/+10

2009-06-15kmemcheck: add DMA hooksVegard Nossum1-0/+2

2009-06-15kmemcheck: add mm functionsVegard Nossum1-1/+1
With kmemcheck enabled, the slab allocator needs to do this: 1. Tell kmemcheck to allocate the shadow memory which stores the status of each byte in the allocation proper, e.g. whether it is initialized or uninitialized. 2. Tell kmemcheck which parts of memory that should be marked uninitialized. There are actually a few more states, such as "not yet allocated" and "recently freed". If a slab cache is set up using the SLAB_NOTRACK flag, it will never return memory that can take page faults because of kmemcheck. If a slab cache is NOT set up using the SLAB_NOTRACK flag, callers can still request memory with the __GFP_NOTRACK flag. This does not prevent the page faults from occuring, however, but marks the object in question as being initialized so that no warnings will ever be produced for this object. In addition to (and in contrast to) __GFP_NOTRACK, the __GFP_NOTRACK_FALSE_POSITIVE flag indicates that the allocation should not be tracked _because_ it would produce a false positive. Their values are identical, but need not be so in the future (for example, we could now enable/disable false positives with a config option). Parts of this patch were contributed by Pekka Enberg but merged for atomicity.

2009-06-15x86: add hooks for kmemcheckVegard Nossum8-5/+66
The hooks that we modify are: - Page fault handler (to handle kmemcheck faults) - Debug exception handler (to hide pages after single-stepping the instruction that caused the page fault) Also redefine memset() to use the optimized version if kmemcheck is enabled. (Thanks to Pekka Enberg for minimizing the impact on the page fault handler.) As kmemcheck doesn't handle MMX/SSE instructions (yet), we also disable the optimized xor code, and rely instead on the generic C implementation in order to avoid false-positive warnings.

2009-06-13kmemcheck: add the kmemcheck coreVegard Nossum15-2/+1266
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.

2009-06-13x86: add save_stack_trace_bp() for tracing from a specific stack frameVegard Nossum1-0/+7
This will help kmemcheck (and possibly other debugging tools) since we can now simply pass regs->bp to the stack tracer instead of specifying the number of stack frames to skip, which is unreliable if gcc decides to inline functions, etc. Note that this makes the API incomplete for other architectures, but I expect that those can be updated lazily, e.g. when they need it.

2009-06-12PM core: rename suspend and resume functionsAlan Stern1-7/+7
This patch (as1241) renames a bunch of functions in the PM core. Rather than go through a boring list of name changes, suffice it to say that in the end we have a bunch of pairs of functions: device_resume_noirq dpm_resume_noirq device_resume dpm_resume device_complete dpm_complete device_suspend_noirq dpm_suspend_noirq device_suspend dpm_suspend device_prepare dpm_prepare in which device_X does the X operation on a single device and dpm_X invokes device_X for all devices in the dpm_list. In addition, the old dpm_power_up and device_resume_noirq have been combined into a single function (dpm_resume_noirq). Lastly, dpm_suspend_start and dpm_resume_end are the renamed versions of the former top-level device_suspend and device_resume routines.

2009-06-12PM: Rename device_power_down/up()Magnus Damm1-4/+4
Rename the functions performing "_noirq" dev_pm_ops operations from device_power_down() and device_power_up() to device_suspend_noirq() and device_resume_noirq(). The new function names are chosen to show that the functions are responsible for calling the _noirq() versions to finalize the suspend/resume operation. The current function names do not perform power down/up anymore so the names may be misleading. Global function renames: - device_power_down() -> device_suspend_noirq() - device_power_up() -> device_resume_noirq() Static function renames: - suspend_device_noirq() -> __device_suspend_noirq() - resume_device_noirq() -> __device_resume_noirq() Signed-off-by: Magnus Damm <damm@igel.co.jp> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Acked-by: Len Brown <lenb@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2009-06-12lguest: optimize by coding restore_flags and irq_enable in assembler.Rusty Russell3-30/+74
The downside of the last patch which made restore_flags and irq_enable check interrupts is that they are now too big to be patched directly into the callsites, so the C versions are always used. But the C versions go via PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK which saves all the registers. In fact, we don't need any registers in the fast path, so we can do better than this if we actually code them in assembler. The results are in the noise, but since it's about the same amount of code, it's worth applying. 1GB Guest->Host: input(suppressed),output(suppressed) Before: Seconds: 0:16.53 Packets: 377268,753673 Interrupts: 22461,24297 Notifications: 1(5245),21303(732370) Net IRQs triggered: 377023(245),42578(711095) After: Seconds: 0:16.48 Packets: 377289,753673 Interrupts: 22281,24465 Notifications: 1(5245),21296(732377) Net IRQs triggered: 377060(229),42564(711109) Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2009-06-12lguest: improve interrupt handling, speed up stream networkingRusty Russell3-8/+16
lguest never checked for pending interrupts when enabling interrupts, and things still worked. However, it makes a significant difference to TCP performance, so it's time we fixed it by introducing a pending_irq flag and checking it on irq_restore and irq_enable. These two routines are now too big to patch into the 8/10 bytes patch space, so we drop that code. Note: The high latency on interrupt delivery had a very curious effect: once everything else was optimized, networking without GSO was faster than networking with GSO, since more interrupts were sent and hence a greater chance of one getting through to the Guest! Note2: (Almost) Closing the same loophole for iret doesn't have any measurable effect, so I'm leaving that patch for the moment.

2009-06-12lguest: clean up lguest_init_IRQRusty Russell1-5/+4
Copy from arch/x86/kernel/irqinit_32.c: we don't use the vectors beyond LGUEST_IRQS (if any), but we might as well set them all. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2009-06-12module: cleanup FIXME comments about trimming exception table entries.Rusty Russell1-2/+0
Everyone cut and paste this comment from my original one. We now do it generically, so cut the comments. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Amerigo Wang <amwang@redhat.com>
2009-06-12module: merge module_alloc() finallyAmerigo Wang2-10/+6
As Christoph Hellwig suggested, module_alloc() actually can be unified for i386 and x86_64 (of course, also UML). Signed-off-by: WANG Cong <amwang@redhat.com> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Cc: 'Ingo Molnar' <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2009-06-12x86 module: merge the rest functions with macrosAmerigo Wang4-224/+161
Merge the rest functions together, with proper preprocessing directives. Finally remove module_{32|64}.c. Signed-off-by: WANG Cong <amwang@redhat.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
