Use the mutual exclusion provided by the text edit lock in the kprobes code. It allows coherent manipulation of the kernel code by other subsystems. Changelog: Move the kernel_text_lock/unlock out of the for loops. Use text_mutex directly instead of a function. Remove whitespace modifications. (note : kprobes_mutex is always taken outside of text_mutex) Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca> Acked-by: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@in.ibm.com> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <49B14306.2080202@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This is an architecture independant synchronization around kernel text modifications through use of a global mutex. A mutex has been chosen so that kprobes, the main user of this, can sleep during memory allocation between the memory read of the instructions it must replace and the memory write of the breakpoint. Other user of this interface: immediate values. Paravirt and alternatives are always done when SMP is inactive, so there is no need to use locks.

Impact: cleanup, micro-optimization Pre-initialize boot_cpu_data.x86_phys_bits to a reasonable default to remove the use of system_state tests in __virt_addr_valid() and __phys_addr(). Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Rather than relying on the ever-unreliable system_state, add a specific __vmalloc_start_set flag to indicate whether the vmalloc area has meaningful boundaries yet, and use that in x86-32's __phys_addr and __virt_addr_valid.

Impact: cleanup The 64-bit version of init_memory_mapping() uses the last mapped address returned from kernel_physical_mapping_init() whereas the 32-bit version doesn't.

Impact: decrease hangs risks with the graph tracer on slow systems Since the function graph tracer can spend too much time on timer interrupts, it's better now to use the more lightweight local clock. Anyway, the function graph traces are more reliable on a per cpu trace.

The latency tracers (irqsoff, preemptoff, preemptirqsoff, and wakeup) are pretty useless with the default output format. This patch makes them automatically enable the latency format when they are selected. They also record the state of the latency option, and if it was not enabled when selected, they disable it on reset. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
