The following patch adds the x86_64 architecture specific implementation for function return probes. Function return probes is a mechanism built on top of kprobes that allows a caller to register a handler to be called when a given function exits. For example, to instrument the return path of sys_mkdir: static int sys_mkdir_exit(struct kretprobe_instance *i, struct pt_regs *regs) { printk("sys_mkdir exited\n"); return 0; } static struct kretprobe return_probe = { .handler = sys_mkdir_exit, }; <inside setup function> return_probe.kp.addr = (kprobe_opcode_t *) kallsyms_lookup_name("sys_mkdir"); if (register_kretprobe(&return_probe)) { printk(KERN_DEBUG "Unable to register return probe!\n"); /* do error path */ } <inside cleanup function> unregister_kretprobe(&return_probe); The way this works is that: * At system initialization time, kernel/kprobes.c installs a kprobe on a function called kretprobe_trampoline() that is implemented in the arch/x86_64/kernel/kprobes.c (More on this later) * When a return probe is registered using register_kretprobe(), kernel/kprobes.c will install a kprobe on the first instruction of the targeted function with the pre handler set to arch_prepare_kretprobe() which is implemented in arch/x86_64/kernel/kprobes.c. * arch_prepare_kretprobe() will prepare a kretprobe instance that stores: - nodes for hanging this instance in an empty or free list - a pointer to the return probe - the original return address - a pointer to the stack address With all this stowed away, arch_prepare_kretprobe() then sets the return address for the targeted function to a special trampoline function called kretprobe_trampoline() implemented in arch/x86_64/kernel/kprobes.c * The kprobe completes as normal, with control passing back to the target function that executes as normal, and eventually returns to our trampoline function. * Since a kprobe was installed on kretprobe_trampoline() during system initialization, control passes back to kprobes via the architecture specific function trampoline_probe_handler() which will lookup the instance in an hlist maintained by kernel/kprobes.c, and then call the handler function. * When trampoline_probe_handler() is done, the kprobes infrastructure single steps the original instruction (in this case just a top), and then calls trampoline_post_handler(). trampoline_post_handler() then looks up the instance again, puts the instance back on the free list, and then makes a long jump back to the original return instruction. So to recap, to instrument the exit path of a function this implementation will cause four interruptions: - A breakpoint at the very beginning of the function allowing us to switch out the return address - A single step interruption to execute the original instruction that we replaced with the break instruction (normal kprobe flow) - A breakpoint in the trampoline function where our instrumented function returned to - A single step interruption to execute the original instruction that we replaced with the break instruction (normal kprobe flow) Signed-off-by:Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by:

This patch adds function-return probes to kprobes for the i386 architecture. This enables you to establish a handler to be run when a function returns. 1. API Two new functions are added to kprobes: int register_kretprobe(struct kretprobe *rp); void unregister_kretprobe(struct kretprobe *rp); 2. Registration and unregistration 2.1 Register To register a function-return probe, the user populates the following fields in a kretprobe object and calls register_kretprobe() with the kretprobe address as an argument: kp.addr - the function's address handler - this function is run after the ret instruction executes, but before control returns to the return address in the caller. maxactive - The maximum number of instances of the probed function that can be active concurrently. For example, if the function is non- recursive and is called with a spinlock or mutex held, maxactive = 1 should be enough. If the function is non-recursive and can never relinquish the CPU (e.g., via a semaphore or preemption), NR_CPUS should be enough. maxactive is used to determine how many kretprobe_instance objects to allocate for this particular probed function. If maxactive <= 0, it is set to a default value (if CONFIG_PREEMPT maxactive=max(10, 2 * NR_CPUS) else maxactive=NR_CPUS) For example: struct kretprobe rp; rp.kp.addr = /* entrypoint address */ rp.handler = /*return probe handler */ rp.maxactive = /* e.g., 1 or NR_CPUS or 0, see the above explanation */ register_kretprobe(&rp); The following field may also be of interest: nmissed - Initialized to zero when the function-return probe is registered, and incremented every time the probed function is entered but there is no kretprobe_instance object available for establishing the function-return probe (i.e., because maxactive was set too low). 2.2 Unregister To unregiter a function-return probe, the user calls unregister_kretprobe() with the same kretprobe object as registered previously. If a probed function is running when the return probe is unregistered, the function will return as expected, but the handler won't be run. 3. Limitations 3.1 This patch supports only the i386 architecture, but patches for x86_64 and ppc64 are anticipated soon. 3.2 Return probes operates by replacing the return address in the stack (or in a known register, such as the lr register for ppc). This may cause __builtin_return_address(0), when invoked from the return-probed function, to return the address of the return-probes trampoline. 3.3 This implementation uses the "Multiprobes at an address" feature in 2.6.12-rc3-mm3. 3.4 Due to a limitation in multi-probes, you cannot currently establish a return probe and a jprobe on the same function. A patch to remove this limitation is being tested. This feature is required by SystemTap (http://sourceware.org/systemtap), and reflects ideas contributed by several SystemTap developers, including Will Cohen and Ananth Mavinakayanahalli.

In kernel/sched.c the return value from preempt_count() is cast to an int. That made sense when preempt_count was defined as different types on is not needed and should go away. The patch removes the cast. In kernel/timer.c the return value from preempt_count() is assigned to a variable of type u32 and then that unsigned value is later compared to preempt_count(). Since preempt_count() returns an int, an int is what should be used to store its return value. Storing the result in an unsigned 32bit integer made a tiny bit of sense back when preempt_count was different types on different archs, but no more - let's not play signed vs unsigned comparison games when we don't have to. The patch modifies the code to use an int to hold the value. While I was around that bit of code I also made two changes to a nearby (related) printk() - I modified it to specify the loglevel explicitly and also broke the line into a few pieces to avoid it being longer than 80 chars and clarified the text a bit.

The preempt_count member of struct thread_info is currently either defined as int, unsigned int or __s32 depending on arch. This patch makes the type of preempt_count an int on all archs. Having preempt_count be an unsigned type prevents the catching of preempt_count < 0 bugs, and using int on some archs and __s32 on others is not exactely "neat" - much nicer when it's just int all over. A previous version of this patch was already ACK'ed by Robert Love, and the only change in this version of the patch compared to the one he ACK'ed is that this one also makes sure the preempt_count member is consistently commented.

Looks like locking can be optimised quite a lot. Increase lock widths slightly so lo_lock is taken fewer times per request. Also it was quite trivial to cover lo_pending with that lock, and remove the atomic requirement. This also makes memory ordering explicitly correct, which is nice (not that I particularly saw any mem ordering bugs). Test was reading 4 250MB files in parallel on ext2-on-tmpfs filesystem (1K block size, 4K page size).

According to include/linux/console.h, CON_CONSDEV flag should be set on the last console specified on the boot command line: 86 #define CON_PRINTBUFFER (1) 87 #define CON_CONSDEV (2) /* Last on the command line */ 88 #define CON_ENABLED (4) 89 #define CON_BOOT (8) This does not currently happen if there is more than one console specified on the boot commandline. Instead, it gets set on the first console on the command line. This can cause problems for things like kdb that look for the CON_CONSDEV flag to see if the console is valid. Additionaly, it doesn't look like CON_CONSDEV is reassigned to the next preferred console at unregister time if the console being unregistered currently has that bit set. Example (from sn2 ia64): elilo vmlinuz root=<dev> console=ttyS0 console=ttySG0 in this case, the flags on ttySG console struct will be 0x4 (should be 0x6). Attached patch against bk fixes both issues for the cases I looked at. It uses selected_console (which gets incremented for each console specified on the command line) as the indicator of which console to set CON_CONSDEV on. When adding the console to the list, if the previous one had CON_CONSDEV set, it masks it out. Tested on ia64 and x86. The problem with the current behavior is it breaks overriding the default from the boot line. In the ia64 case, there may be a global append line defining console=a in elilo.conf. Then you want to boot your kernel, and want to override the default by passing console=b on the boot line. elilo constructs the kernel cmdline by starting with the value of the global append line, then tacks on whatever else you specify, which puts console=b last.

Based on analysis and a patch from Russ Weight <rweight@us.ibm.com> There is a race condition that can occur if an inode is allocated and then released (using iput) during the ->fill_super functions. The race condition is between kswapd and mount. For most filesystems this can only happen in an error path when kswapd is running concurrently. For isofs, however, the error can occur in a more common code path (which is how the bug was found). The logic here is "we want final iput() to free inode *now* instead of letting it sit in cache if fs is going down or had not quite come up". The problem is with kswapd seeing such inodes in the middle of being killed and happily taking over. The clean solution would be to tell kswapd to leave those inodes alone and let our final iput deal with them. I.e. add a new flag (I_FORCED_FREEING), set it before write_inode_now() there and make prune_icache() leave those alone. Signed-off-by:

sys_timer_settime/sys_timer_delete needs to delete k_itimer->real.timer synchronously while holding ->it_lock, which is also locked in posix_timer_fn. This patch removes timer_active/set_timer_inactive which plays with timer_list's internals in favour of using try_to_del_timer_sync(), which was introduced in the previous patch. Signed-off-by:

This patch splits del_timer_sync() into 2 functions. The new one, try_to_del_timer_sync(), returns -1 when it hits executing timer. It can be used in interrupt context, or when the caller hold locks which can prevent completion of the timer's handler. NOTE. Currently it can't be used in interrupt context in UP case, because ->running_timer is used only with CONFIG_SMP. Should the need arise, it is possible to kill #ifdef CONFIG_SMP in set_running_timer(), it is cheap. Signed-off-by:

This patch tries to solve following problems: 1. del_timer_sync() is racy. The timer can be fired again after del_timer_sync have checked all cpus and before it will recheck timer_pending(). 2. It has scalability problems. All cpus are scanned to determine if the timer is running on that cpu. With this patch del_timer_sync is O(1) and no slower than plain del_timer(pending_timer), unless it has to actually wait for completion of the currently running timer. The only restriction is that the recurring timer should not use add_timer_on(). 3. The timers are not serialized wrt to itself. If CPU_0 does mod_timer(jiffies+1) while the timer is currently running on CPU 1, it is quite possible that local interrupt on CPU_0 will start that timer before it finished on CPU_1. 4. The timers locking is suboptimal. __mod_timer() takes 3 locks at once and still requires wmb() in del_timer/run_timers. The new implementation takes 2 locks sequentially and does not need memory barriers. Currently ->base != NULL means that the timer is pending. In that case ->base.lock is used to lock the timer. __mod_timer also takes timer->lock because ->base can be == NULL. This patch uses timer->entry.next != NULL as indication that the timer is pending. So it does __list_del(), entry->next = NULL instead of list_del() when the timer is deleted. The ->base field is used for hashed locking only, it is initialized in init_timer() which sets ->base = per_cpu(tvec_bases). When the tvec_bases.lock is locked, it means that all timers which are tied to this base via timer->base are locked, and the base itself is locked too. So __run_timers/migrate_timers can safely modify all timers which could be found on ->tvX lists (pending timers). When the timer's base is locked, and the timer removed from ->entry list (which means that _run_timers/migrate_timers can't see this timer), it is possible to set timer->base = NULL and drop the lock: the timer remains locked. This patch adds lock_timer_base() helper, which waits for ->base != NULL, locks the ->base, and checks it is still the same. __mod_timer() schedules the timer on the local CPU and changes it's base. However, it does not lock both old and new bases at once. It locks the timer via lock_timer_base(), deletes the timer, sets ->base = NULL, and unlocks old base. Then __mod_timer() locks new_base, sets ->base = new_base, and adds this timer. This simplifies the code, because AB-BA deadlock is not possible. __mod_timer() also ensures that the timer's base is not changed while the timer's handler is running on the old base. __run_timers(), del_timer() do not change ->base anymore, they only clear pending flag. So del_timer_sync() can test timer->base->running_timer == timer to detect whether it is running or not. We don't need timer_list->lock anymore, this patch kills it. We also don't need barriers. del_timer() and __run_timers() used smp_wmb() before clearing timer's pending flag. It was needed because __mod_timer() did not lock old_base if the timer is not pending, so __mod_timer()->list_add() could race with del_timer()->list_del(). With this patch these functions are serialized through base->lock. One problem. TIMER_INITIALIZER can't use per_cpu(tvec_bases). So this patch adds global struct timer_base_s { spinlock_t lock; struct timer_list *running_timer; } __init_timer_base; which is used by TIMER_INITIALIZER. The corresponding fields in tvec_t_base_s struct are replaced by struct timer_base_s t_base. It is indeed ugly. But this can't have scalability problems. The global __init_timer_base.lock is used only when __mod_timer() is called for the first time AND the timer was compile time initialized. After that the timer migrates to the local CPU.

This memory barrier is not needed because the waitqueue will only get waiters on it in the following situations: rq->count has exceeded the threshold - however all manipulations of ->count are performed under the runqueue lock, and so we will correctly pick up any waiter. Memory allocation for the request fails. In this case, there is no additional help provided by the memory barrier. We are guaranteed to eventually wake up waiters because the request allocation mempool guarantees that if the mem allocation for a request fails, there must be some requests in flight. They will wake up waiters when they are retired. Signed-off-by:

blk_queue_tag->real_max_depth was used to optimize out unnecessary allocations/frees on tag resize. However, the whole thing was very broken - tag_map was never allocated to real_max_depth resulting in access beyond the end of the map, bits in [max_depth..real_max_depth] were set when initializing a map and copied when resizing resulting in pre-occupied tags. As the gain of the optimization is very small, well, almost nill, remove the whole thing. Signed-off-by:

I suggest to change the way IRQs are handed out to PCI devices. Currently, each I/O APIC pin gets associated with an IRQ, no matter if the pin is used or not. It is expected that each pin can potentually be engaged by a device inserted into the corresponding PCI slot. However, this imposes severe limitation on systems that have designs that employ many I/O APICs, only utilizing couple lines of each, such as P64H2 chipset. It is used in ES7000, and currently, there is no way to boot the system with more that 9 I/O APICs. The simple change below allows to boot a system with say 64 (or more) I/O APICs, each providing 1 slot, which otherwise impossible because of the IRQ gaps created for unused lines on each I/O APIC. It does not resolve the problem with number of devices that exceeds number of possible IRQs, but eases up a tension for IRQs on any large system with potentually large number of devices. I only implemented this for the ACPI boot, since if the system is this big and using newer chipsets it is probably (better be!) an ACPI based system :). The change is completely "mechanical" and does not alter any internal structures or interrupt model/implementation. The patch works for both i386 and x86_64 archs. It works with MSIs just fine, and should not intervene with implementations like shared vectors, when they get worked out and incorporated. To illustrate, below is the interrupt distribution for 2-cell ES7000 with 20 I/O APICs, and an Ethernet card in the last slot, which should be eth1 and which was not configured because its IRQ exceeded allowable number (it actially turned out huge - 480!): zorro-tb2:~ # cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3 CPU4 CPU5 CPU6 CPU7 0: 65716 30012 30007 30002 30009 30010 30010 30010 IO-APIC-edge timer 4: 373 0 725 280 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge serial 8: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge rtc 9: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level acpi 14: 39 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge ide0 16: 108 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level uhci_hcd:usb1 18: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level uhci_hcd:usb3 19: 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level uhci_hcd:usb2 23: 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level ehci_hcd:usb4 96: 4240 397 18 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level aic7xxx 97: 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level aic7xxx 192: 847 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level eth0 NMI: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 LOC: 273423 274528 272829 274228 274092 273761 273827 273694 ERR: 7 MIS: 0 Even though the system doesn't have that many devices, some don't get enabled only because of IRQ numbering model.

This is the x86_64 version of the signal fix I just posted for i386. This problem was first noticed on PPC and has already been fixed there. But the exact same issue applies to other platforms in the same way. The signal blocking for sa_mask and the handled signal takes place after the handler setup. When the stack is bogus, the handler setup forces a SIGSEGV. But then this will be blocked, and returning to user mode will fault again and iterate. This patch fixes the problem by checking whether signal handler setup failed, and not doing the signal-blocking if so. This copies what was done in the ppc code. I think all architectures' signal handler setup code follows this pattern and needs the change. Signed-off-by:

Currently the x86-64 HPET code assumes the entire HPET implementation from the spec is present. This breaks on boxes that do not implement the optional legacy timer replacement functionality portion of the spec. This patch fixes this issue, allowing x86-64 systems that cannot use the HPET for the timer interrupt and RTC to still use the HPET as a time source. I've tested this patch on a system systems without HPET, with HPET but without legacy timer replacement, as well as HPET with legacy timer replacement. This version adds a minor check to cap the HPET counter value in gettimeoffset_hpet to avoid possible time inconsistencies. Please ignore the A2 version I sent to you earlier. Acked-by:

x86_64's cpu_khz is unsigned int and there is no reason why x86 needs to use unsigned long. So make cpu_khz unsigned int on x86 as well. Signed-off-by:
