This adds a function to dump the DMA mappings that the debugging code is
aware of -- either for a single device, or for _all_ devices.
This can be useful for debugging -- sticking a call to it in the DMA
page fault handler, for example, to see if the faulting address _should_
be mapped or not, and hence work out whether it's IOMMU bugs we're
seeing, or driver bugs.

Impact: avoid recursive kfree calls, less slab activity on heavy load
debugobjects checks on kfree whether tracked objects are freed. When a
tracked object is freed debugobjects frees the internal reference
object as well. The debug object slab cache is marked to not recurse
into debugobjects when a slab objects is freed, but the recursive call
can be problematic versus locking in the memory allocator.
Defer the freeing of debug slab objects via schedule_work. The reasons
not to use RCU are:
1) rcu makes the data structure larger
2) there is no real need for rcu as nothing references the obj after
we freed it
3) under heavy load it is easier to reuse the to be freed objects instead
of allocating new objects from the slab. This lowered the slab activity
significantly in a heavy load networking test where lots of timers are
created/destroyed. The workqueue based delayed free allows us just to
put the to be freed objects back into the object pool and reuse them
right away.

Impact: refactor/consolidate object management, prepare for delayed free
debugobjects allocates static reference objects to track objects which
are initialized or activated before the slab cache becomes
available. These static reference objects have to be handled
seperately in free_object(). The handling of these objects is in the
way of implementing a delayed free functionality. The delayed free is
required to avoid callbacks into the mm code from
debug_check_no_obj_freed().
Replace the static object references with dynamic ones after the slab
cache has been initialized. The static objects are now marked initdata.

Guennadi Liakhovetski noticed that the end condition for the loop in
bitmap_find_free_region() is wrong, and the "return if error" was also
using the wrong conditional that would only trigger if the bitmap was an
exact multiple of the allocation size, which is not necessarily the case
with dma_alloc_from_coherent().
Such a failure would end up in bitmap_find_free_region() accessing
beyond the end of the bitmap.

We moved the netlink attribute support from net to lib in order
for it to be available for general consumption. However, parts
of the code (the bits that we don't need :) really depends on
NET because the target object is sk_buff.
This patch fixes this by wrapping them in CONFIG_NET.
Some EXPORTs have been moved to make this work.

Fix a problem in the IDR system, where an idr_remove_all() hands a data
element to call_rcu() (via free_layer()) before making that data element
inaccessible to new readers. This is very bad, and results in readers
still having a reference to this data element at the end of the grace
period.
Tests on large machines that concurrently map and unmap user-space memory
within the same multithreaded process result in crashes within about five
minutes. Applying this patch increases the kernel's longevity to the
three-to-eight-hour range.
There appear to be other similar problems in idr_get_empty_slot() and
sub_remove(), but I fixed the easy one in idr_remove_all() first. It is
therefore no surprise that failures still occur.

Sitsofe Wheeler found and bisected that while unifying the
vsprintf format decoding in:
fef20d9: vsprintf: unify the format decoding layer for its 3 users
The sign flag has been dropped out in favour of
precise types (ie: LONG/ULONG).
But the format helper number() still needs this flag to keep track of
the signedness unless it will consider all numbers as unsigned.
Also add an explicit cast to int (for %d) while parsing with va_arg()
to ensure the highest bit is well extended on the 64 bits number that
hosts the value in case of negative values.

'tracing/textedit' into tracing/core
|
|
|
|
An new optimization is making its way to ftrace. Its purpose is to
make trace_printk() consuming less memory and be faster.
Written by Lai Jiangshan, the approach is to delay the formatting
job from tracing time to output time.
Currently, a call to trace_printk() will format the whole string and
insert it into the ring buffer. Then you can read it on /debug/tracing/trace
file.
The new implementation stores the address of the format string and
the binary parameters into the ring buffer, making the packet more compact
and faster to insert.
Later, when the user exports the traces, the format string is retrieved
with the binary parameters and the formatting job is eventually done.
The new implementation rewrites a lot of format decoding bits from
vsnprintf() function, making now 3 differents functions to maintain
in their duplicated parts of printf format decoding bits.
Suggested by Ingo Molnar, this patch tries to factorize the most
possible common bits from these functions.
The real common part between them is the format decoding. Although
they do somewhat similar jobs, their way to export or import the parameters
is very different. Thus, only the decoding layer is extracted, unless you see
other parts that could be worth factorized.
Changes in V2:
- Address a suggestion from Linus to group the format_decode() parameters inside
a structure.
Changes in v3:
- Address other cleanups suggested by Ingo and Linus such as passing the
printf_spec struct to the format helpers: pointer()/number()/string()
Note that this struct is passed by copy and not by address. This is to
avoid side effects because these functions often change these values and the
changes shoudn't be persistant when a callee helper returns.
It would be too risky.
- Various cleanups (code alignement, switch/case instead of if/else fountains).
- Fix a bug that printed the first format specifier following a %p
Changes in v4:
- drop unapropriate const qualifier loss while casting fmt to a char *
(thanks to Vegard Nossum for having pointed this out).

'x86/setup-lzma', 'x86/signal' and 'x86/urgent' into x86/core
|

While trying to debug why my Atom netbook is falling over booting
rawhide debug-enabled kernels, I stumbled across the fact that we've
been enabling object debugging by default. However, once you default it
to on, you've got no way to turn it back off again at runtime.
Add a boolean toggle to turn it off. I would just make it an int
module_param, however people may already expect the boolean enable
behaviour, so just add an analogue for disabling.
