2007-05-08Kprobes: The ON/OFF knob thru debugfsAnanth N Mavinakayanahalli
This patch provides a debugfs knob to turn kprobes on/off o A new file /debug/kprobes/enabled indicates if kprobes is enabled or not (default enabled) o Echoing 0 to this file will disarm all installed probes o Any new probe registration when disabled will register the probe but not arm it. A message will be printed out in such a case. o When a value 1 is echoed to the file, all probes (including ones registered in the intervening period) will be enabled o Unregistration will happen irrespective of whether probes are globally enabled or not. o Update Documentation/kprobes.txt to reflect these changes. While there also update the doc to make it current. We are also looking at providing sysrq key support to tie to the disabling feature provided by this patch.

2007-05-08Kprobes: print details of kretprobe on assertion failureAnanth N Mavinakayanahalli
In certain cases like when the real return address can't be found or when the number of tracked calls to a kretprobed function is less than the number of returns, we may not be able to find the correct return address after processing a kretprobe. Currently we just do a BUG_ON, but no information is provided about the actual failing kretprobe. Print out details of the kretprobe before calling BUG().

2007-05-08move die notifier handling to common codeChristoph Hellwig
This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code. Previous various architectures had exactly the same code for it. Note that the new code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place) arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's declared and used at. avr32 used to pass slightly less information through this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

2007-05-08Fixes and cleanups for earlyprintk aka boot consoleGerd Hoffmann
The console subsystem already has an idea of a boot console, using the CON_BOOT flag. The implementation has some flaws though. The major problem is that presence of a boot console makes register_console() ignore any other console devices (unless explicitly specified on the kernel command line). This patch fixes the console selection code to *not* consider a boot console a full-featured one, so the first non-boot console registering will become the default console instead. This way the unregister call for the boot console in the register_console() function actually triggers and the handover from the boot console to the real console device works smoothly. Added a printk for the handover, so you know which console device the output goes to when the boot console stops printing messages. The disable_early_printk() call is obsolete with that patch, explicitly disabling the early console isn't needed any more as it works automagically with that patch. I've walked through the tree, dropped all disable_early_printk() instances found below arch/ and tagged the consoles with CON_BOOT if needed. The code is tested on x86, sh (thanks to Paul) and mips (thanks to Ralf). Changes to last version: Rediffed against -rc3, adapted to mips cleanups by Ralf, fixed "udbg-immortal" cmd line arg on powerpc.

2007-05-07serial: define FIXED_PORT flag for serial_coreDavid Gibson
At present, the serial core always allows setserial in userspace to change the port address, irq and base clock of any serial port. That makes sense for legacy ISA ports, but not for (say) embedded ns16550 compatible serial ports at peculiar addresses. In these cases, the kernel code configuring the ports must know exactly where they are, and their clocking arrangements (which can be unusual on embedded boards). It doesn't make sense for userspace to change these settings. Therefore, this patch defines a UPF_FIXED_PORT flag for the uart_port structure. If this flag is set when the serial port is configured, any attempts to alter the port's type, io address, irq or base clock with setserial are ignored. In addition this patch uses the new flag for on-chip serial ports probed in arch/powerpc/kernel/legacy_serial.c, and for other hard-wired serial ports probed by drivers/serial/of_serial.c.

2007-04-13[POWERPC] ibmebus: change probe/remove interface from using loc-code to DT pathJoachim Fenkes
In some cases, multiple OFDT nodes might share the same location code, so the location code is not a unique identifier for an OFDT node. Changed the ibmebus probe/remove interface to use the DT path of the device node instead of the location code. The DT path must be written into probe/remove right as it would appear in the "devspec" attribute of the ebus device: relative to the DT root, with a leading slash and without a trailing slash. One trailing newline will not hurt; multiple newlines will (like perl's chomp()). Example: Add a device "/proc/device-tree/foo@12345678" to ibmebus like this: echo /foo@12345678 > /sys/bus/ibmebus/probe Remove the device like this: echo /foo@12345678 > /sys/bus/ibmebus/remove Signed-off-by: Joachim Fenkes <fenkes@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-04-13[POWERPC] Make tlb flush batch use lazy MMU modeBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The current tlb flush code on powerpc 64 bits has a subtle race since we lost the page table lock due to the possible faulting in of new PTEs after a previous one has been removed but before the corresponding hash entry has been evicted, which can leads to all sort of fatal problems. This patch reworks the batch code completely. It doesn't use the mmu_gather stuff anymore. Instead, we use the lazy mmu hooks that were added by the paravirt code. They have the nice property that the enter/leave lazy mmu mode pair is always fully contained by the PTE lock for a given range of PTEs. Thus we can guarantee that all batches are flushed on a given CPU before it drops that lock. We also generalize batching for any PTE update that require a flush. Batching is now enabled on a CPU by arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() and disabled by arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode(). The code epects that this is always contained within a PTE lock section so no preemption can happen and no PTE insertion in that range from another CPU. When batching is enabled on a CPU, every PTE updates that need a hash flush will use the batch for that flush.

2007-04-13[POWERPC] DMA 4GB boundary protectionJake Moilanen
There are many adapters which cannot handle DMAing across any 4 GB boundary. For instance, the latest Emulex adapters. This normally is not an issue as firmware gives dma-windows under 4gigs. However, some of the new System-P boxes have dma-windows above 4gigs, and this present a problem. During initialization of the IOMMU tables, the last entry at each 4GB boundary is marked as used. Thus no mappings can cross the boundary. If a table ends at a 4GB boundary, the entry is not marked as used. A boot option to remove this 4GB protection is given w/ protect4gb=off. This exposes the potential issue for driver and hardware development purposes.
