2006-12-30[PATCH] change WARN_ON back to "BUG: at ..."Ingo Molnar
WARN_ON() ever triggering is a kernel bug. Do not try to paper over this fact by suggesting to the user that this is 'only' a warning, as the following recent commit does: commit 30e25b71e725b150585e17888b130e3324f8cf7c Author: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Date: Fri Dec 8 02:36:24 2006 -0800 [PATCH] Fix generic WARN_ON message A warning is a warning, not a BUG. ( it might make sense to rename BUG() to CRASH() and BUG_ON() to CRASH_ON(), but that does not change the fact that WARN_ON() signals a kernel bug. ) i and others objected to this change during lkml review: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=116115160710533&w=2 still the change slipped upstream - grumble :) Also, use the standard "BUG: " format to make it easier to grep logs and to make it easier to google for kernel bugs.

2006-12-08[PATCH] Generic BUG implementationJeremy Fitzhardinge
This patch adds common handling for kernel BUGs, for use by architectures as they wish. The code is derived from arch/powerpc. The advantages of having common BUG handling are: - consistent BUG reporting across architectures - shared implementation of out-of-line file/line data - implement CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE consistently This means that in inline impact of BUG is just the illegal instruction itself, which is an improvement for i386 and x86-64. A BUG is represented in the instruction stream as an illegal instruction, which has file/line information associated with it. This extra information is stored in the __bug_table section in the ELF file. When the kernel gets an illegal instruction, it first confirms it might possibly be from a BUG (ie, in kernel mode, the right illegal instruction). It then calls report_bug(). This searches __bug_table for a matching instruction pointer, and if found, prints the corresponding file/line information. If report_bug() determines that it wasn't a BUG which caused the trap, it returns BUG_TRAP_TYPE_NONE. Some architectures (powerpc) implement WARN using the same mechanism; if the illegal instruction was the result of a WARN, then report_bug(Q) returns CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE; otherwise it returns BUG_TRAP_TYPE_BUG. lib/bug.c keeps a list of loaded modules which can be searched for __bug_table entries. The architecture must call module_bug_finalize()/module_bug_cleanup() from its corresponding module_finalize/cleanup functions. Unsetting CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE will reduce the kernel size by some amount. At the very least, filename and line information will not be recorded for each but, but architectures may decide to store no extra information per BUG at all. Unfortunately, gcc doesn't have a general way to mark an asm() as noreturn, so architectures will generally have to include an infinite loop (or similar) in the BUG code, so that gcc knows execution won't continue beyond that point. gcc does have a __builtin_trap() operator which may be useful to achieve the same effect, unfortunately it cannot be used to actually implement the BUG itself, because there's no way to get the instruction's address for use in generating the __bug_table entry.

2006-10-20[PATCH] Fix warnings for WARN_ON if CONFIG_BUG is disabledRalf Baechle
In most cases the return value of WARN_ON() is ignored. If the generic definition for the !CONFIG_BUG case is used this will result in a warning: CC kernel/sched.o In file included from include/linux/bio.h:25, from include/linux/blkdev.h:14, from kernel/sched.c:39: include/linux/ioprio.h: In function ‘task_ioprio’: include/linux/ioprio.h:50: warning: statement with no effect kernel/sched.c: In function ‘context_switch’: kernel/sched.c:1834: warning: statement with no effect Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Cc: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-10-06[PATCH] Fix WARN_ON / WARN_ON_ONCE regressionAndrew Morton
Tim and Ananiev report that the recent WARN_ON_ONCE changes cause increased cache misses with the tbench workload. Apparently due to the access to the newly-added static variable. Rearrange the code so that we don't touch that variable unless the warning is going to trigger. Also rework the logic so that the static variable starts out at zero, so we can move it into bss. It would seem logical to mark the static variable as __read_mostly too. But it would be wrong, because that would put it back into the vmlinux image, and the kernel will never read from this variable in normal operation anyway. Unless the compiler or hardware go and do some prefetching on us? For some reason this patch shrinks softirq.o text by 40 bytes.

2006-09-29[PATCH] Let WARN_ON/WARN_ON_ONCE return the conditionHerbert Xu
Letting WARN_ON/WARN_ON_ONCE return the condition means that you could do if (WARN_ON(blah)) { handle_impossible_case } Rather than if (unlikely(blah)) { WARN_ON(1) handle_impossible_case } I checked all the newly added WARN_ON_ONCE users and none of them test the return status so we can still change it.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
