      kbuild: move -fno-dwarf2-cfi-asm to powerpc only · d0679c73
      Andi Kleen authored 
      Better dwarf2 unwind information is a good thing, it allows better
debugging with kgdb and crash and helps systemtap.

Commit 00308649 ("Build with
-fno-dwarf2-cfi-asm") disabled some CFI information globally to work
around a module loader bug on powerpc.

But this disables the better unwind tables for all architectures, not just
powerpc.  Move the workaround to powerpc and also add a suitable comment
that's it really a workaround.

This improves dwarf2 unwind tables on x86 at least.

      markup_oops.pl: minor fixes · 59dde385
      Hui Zhu authored 
      1. Fix a little format issue.
2. Check the return of "Getopt::Long::GetOptions".  Output usage and
   exit if it get error.
3. Change $ARGV[$#ARGV] to $ARGV[0].
4. Change the code which get $modulefile from modinfo.  Replace the
   pipeline with `modinfo -F filename $module`.
4. Change usage from "Specify the module directory name" to "Specify the

      markup_oops.pl: add options to improve cross-sompilation environments · 52e13e21
      Hui Zhu authored 
      The markup_oops.pl have 3 troubles to support cross-compiler environment:
1.  It use objdump directly.
2.  It use modinfo to get the message of module.
3.  It use hex function that cannot support 64-bit number in 32-bit arch.

This patch add 3 options to markup_oops.pl:
1. -c CROSS_COMPILE	Specify the prefix used for toolchain.
2. -m MODULE_DIRNAME	Specify the module directory name.
3. Change hex function to Math::BigInt->from_hex.

After this patch, parse the x8664 oops in x86, we can:
cat amd64m | perl ~/kernel/tmp/m.pl -c /home/teawater/kernel/bin/x8664- -m ./e.ko vmlinux

Thanks,
Hui

      scripts: use %_tmppath in "make rpm-pkg" · 880df92f
      John Saalwaechter authored 
      The mkspec script hardcodes "/var/tmp" into the generated rpm spec file's
BuildRoot. The user, however, may have a custom setting for %_tmppath,
which should be used in BuildRoot.  This patch changes mkspec's
BuildRoot output to appropriately use %_tmppath.

      markup_oops.pl: fix for faulting instruction in the first line of a range · 0139f1d9
      Hui Zhu authored 
      I got a "No matching code found" when I use markup_oops.pl parse a error
in a x86_64 module.

cat e.c

int init_module(void)
{
	char	*buf = 0;

	buf[0] = 3;

	return 0;
}

void cleanup_module(void)
{
	//char	*buf = 0;

	//buf[0] = 3;
}

Disassembly of section .modinfo:

This is because the faulting instruction "movb   $0x3,0x0" is the first
line of the range.

In the markup_oops.pl:
main::(./scripts/markup_oops.pl:245):
245:				if (InRange($1, $target)) {
  DB<2> p $line
ffffffffa001b000:	c6 04 25 00 00 00 00 	movb   $0x3,0x0
  DB<3> p $counter
0

It just set $center in next loop. So it cannot get the $center.

And even if $center is set to the right value 0.
if ($center == 0) {
	print "No matching code found \n";
	exit;
}
The first line $center will be 0, so I change the default value to -1.

      scripts: change scripts to use system python instead of env · 94a47083
      Don Zickus authored 
      Just a small change to a couple of scripts to go from

 #!/usr/bin/env python

to

 #!/usr/bin/python

This shouldn't effect anyone, unless they don't install python there.

In preparation for python3, Fedora is doing a big push to change the scripts
to use the system python.  This allows developers to put the python3 in
their path without fear of breaking existing scripts.

Now I am pretty sure anyone using python3 for testing purposes will probably
not run any of the scripts I changed, but Fedora has this automated tool
that checks for this stuff so I thought I would try to push it upstream.

      scripts/kallsyms: suppress build warning · 71d41aed
      Himanshu Chauhan authored 
      Suppress a warn_unused_result warning.

fgets is called as a part of error handling.  It is called just to drop a
line and return immediately.  read_map is reading the file in a loop and
read_symbol reads line by line.  So I think there is no point in using
return value for useful checking.  Other checks like 3 items were returned
or !EOF have already been done.

      Improve kconfig symbol hashing · e66f25d7
      Andi Kleen authored 
      While looking for something else I noticed that the symbol
hash function used by kconfig is quite poor. It doesn't
use any of the standard hash techniques but simply
adds up the string and then uses power of two masking,
which is both known to perform poorly.

The current x86 kconfig has over 7000 symbols.

When I instrumented it showed that the minimum hash chain
length was 16 and a significant number of them was over
30.

It didn't help that the hash table size was only 256 buckets.

This patch increases the hash table size to a larger prime
and switches to a FNV32 hash. I played around with a couple of hash
functions, but that one seemed to perform best with reasonable
hash table sizes.

Increasing the hash table size even further didn't
seem like a good idea, because there are a couple of global
walks which walk the complete hash table.

I also moved the unnamed bucket to 0. It's still the longest
of all the buckets (44 entries), but hopefully it's not
often hit except for the global walk which doesn't care.

The result is a much nicer distribution:
(first column bucket length, second number of buckets with that length)

1: 3505
2: 1236
3: 294
4: 52
5: 3
47: 1		<--- this is the unnamed symbols bucket

There are still some 5+ buckets, but increasing the hash table
even more would be likely not worth it.

This also cleans up the code slightly by removing hard coded
magic numbers.

I didn't notice a big performance difference either way
on my Nehalem system, but I presume it'll help somewhat
on slower systems.
