This patch adds the latency tracer infrastructure. This patch does not add anything that will select and turn it on, but will be used by later patches. If it were to be compiled, it would add the following files to the debugfs: The root tracing directory: /debugfs/tracing/ This patch also adds the following files: available_tracers list of available tracers. Currently no tracers are available. Looking into this file only shows "none" which is used to unregister all tracers. current_tracer The trace that is currently active. Empty on start up. To switch to a tracer simply echo one of the tracers that are listed in available_tracers: example: (used with later patches) echo function > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer To disable the tracer: echo disable > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer tracing_enabled echoing "1" into this file starts the ftrace function tracing (if sysctl kernel.ftrace_enabled=1) echoing "0" turns it off. latency_trace This file is readonly and holds the result of the trace. trace This file outputs a easier to read version of the trace. iter_ctrl Controls the way the output of traces look. So far there's two controls: echoing in "symonly" will only show the kallsyms variables without the addresses (if kallsyms was configured) echoing in "verbose" will change the output to show a lot more data, but not very easy to understand by humans. echoing in "nosymonly" turns off symonly. echoing in "noverbose" turns off verbose.

If CONFIG_FTRACE is selected and /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled is set to a non-zero value the ftrace routine will be called everytime we enter a kernel function that is not marked with the "notrace" attribute. The ftrace routine will then call a registered function if a function happens to be registered. [ This code has been highly hacked by Steven Rostedt and Ingo Molnar, so don't blame Arnaldo for all of this ;-) ] Update: It is now possible to register more than one ftrace function. If only one ftrace function is registered, that will be the function that ftrace calls directly. If more than one function is registered, then ftrace will call a function that will loop through the functions to call. Signed-off-by:

Mark with "notrace" functions in core code that should not be traced. The "notrace" attribute will prevent gcc from adding a call to ftrace on the annotated funtions. Signed-off-by:

Add the notrace annotations to the vsyscall functions - there we are not in kernel context yet, so the tracer function cannot (and must not) be called. Signed-off-by:

notrace signals that a function should not be traced. Most of the time this is used by tracers to annotate code that cannot be traced - it's in a volatile state (such as in user vdso context or NMI context) or it's in the tracer internals. Signed-off-by:

The tracer may need to call preempt_enable and disable functions for time keeping and such. The trace gets ugly when we see these functions show up for all traces. To make the output cleaner this patch adds preempt_enable_notrace and preempt_disable_notrace to be used by tracer (and debugging) functions. Signed-off-by:

The tracer wants to be able to convert the state number into a user visible character. This patch pulls that conversion string out the scheduler into the header. This way if it were to ever change, other parts of the kernel will know. Signed-off-by:

When we fully commit to returning back to kernel mode from a trap, zero out the regs->magic value to prevent false positives during stack backtraces. Signed-off-by:David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The offset to the pt_regs area was wrong, so we weren't looking at the right location for the magic cookie. A trap frame is composed of a "struct sparc_stackf" then a "struct pt_regs", the code was using "struct reg_window" instead of "struct sparc_stackf". Signed-off-by: -

Because of the silly way I set up the initial stack for new kernel threads, there is a loop at the top of the stack. To fix this, properly add another stack frame that is copied from the parent and terminate it in the child by setting the frame pointer in that frame to zero. Signed-off-by: -

Unless there will be any objection here, I suggest consider the following patch which simply removes the code for the -DI_WISH_WORLD_WERE_PERFECT in the three methods which use it. The compilation errors we get when using -DI_WISH_WORLD_WERE_PERFECT show that this code was not built and not used for really a long time. Signed-off-by:

If previous window was above representable values of u16, strange things will happen if undo with the truncated value is called for. Alternatively, this could be fixed by some max trickery but that would limit undoing high-speed undos. Adds 16-bit hole but there isn't anything to fill it with. Signed-off-by:

Here the local hexbuf is a duplicate of global const char hex_asc from lib/hexdump.c, except the hex letters' cases: const char hexbuf[] = "0123456789ABCDEF"; const char hex_asc[] = "0123456789abcdef"; and here to print HW addresses, the hex cases are not significant. Thanks to Harvey Harrison to introduce the hex_asc_hi/hex_asc_lo helpers. Signed-off-by:

According to David Monro, at least with Natsemi Saturn chips the cassini driver has some trouble with ipv6 checksums. Until we have more information about what's going on here, only use the chip checksums for ipv4. This workaround was suggested and tested by David. Update version and release date. Signed-off-by:

We are seeing an issue with TCP in handling an ICMP frag needed message that is received after net.ipv4.tcp_retries1 retransmits. The default value of retries1 is 3. So if the path mtu changes and ICMP frag needed is lost for the first 3 retransmits or if it gets delayed until 3 retransmits are done, TCP doesn't update MSS correctly and continues to retransmit the orginal message until it timesout after tcp_retries2 retransmits. I am seeing this issue even with the latest 2.6.25.4 kernel. In tcp_retransmit_timer(), when retransmits counter exceeds tcp_retries1 value, the dst cache entry of the socket is reset. At this time, if we receive an ICMP frag needed message, the dst entry gets updated with the new MTU, but the TCP sockets dst_cache entry remains NULL. So the next time when we try to retransmit after the ICMP frag needed is received, tcp_retransmit_skb() gets called. Here the cur_mss value is calculated at the start of the routine with a NULL sk_dst_cache. Instead we should call tcp_current_mss after the rebuild_header that caches the dst entry with the updated mtu. Also the rebuild_header should be called before tcp_fragment so that skb is fragmented if the mss goes down. Signed-off-by:
