2008-04-19[PATCH] r/o bind mounts: debugging for missed callsDave Hansen
There have been a few oopses caused by 'struct file's with NULL f_vfsmnts. There was also a set of potentially missed mnt_want_write()s from dentry_open() calls. This patch provides a very simple debugging framework to catch these kinds of bugs. It will WARN_ON() them, but should stop us from having any oopses or mnt_writer count imbalances. I'm quite convinced that this is a good thing because it found bugs in the stuff I was working on as soon as I wrote it. [hch: made it conditional on a debug option.

2008-04-17kgdb: add kgdb internal test suiteJason Wessel
This patch adds regression tests for testing the kgdb core and arch specific implementation. The kgdb test suite is designed to be built into the kernel and not as a module because it uses a number of low level kernel and kgdb primitives which should not be exported externally. The kgdb test suite is designed as a KGDB I/O module which simulates the communications that a debugger would have with kgdb. The tests are broken up in to a line by line and referenced here as a "get" which is kgdb requesting input and "put" which is kgdb sending a response. The kgdb suite can be invoked from the kernel command line arguments system or executed dynamically at run time. The test suite uses the variable "kgdbts" to obtain the information about which tests to run and to configure the verbosity level. The following are the various characters you can use with the kgdbts= line: When using the "kgdbts=" you only choose one of the following core test types: A = Run all the core tests silently V1 = Run all the core tests with minimal output V2 = Run all the core tests in debug mode You can also specify optional tests: N## = Go to sleep with interrupts of for ## seconds to test the HW NMI watchdog F## = Break at do_fork for ## iterations S## = Break at sys_open for ## iterations NOTE: that the do_fork and sys_open tests are mutually exclusive. To invoke the kgdb test suite from boot you use a kernel start argument as follows: kgdbts=V1 kgdbwait Or if you wanted to perform the NMI test for 6 seconds and do_fork test for 100 forks, you could use: kgdbts=V1N6F100 kgdbwait The test suite can also be invoked at run time with: echo kgdbts=V1N6F100 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts Or as another example: echo kgdbts=V2 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts When developing a new kgdb arch specific implementation or using these tests for the purpose of regression testing, several invocations are required. 1) Boot with the test suite enabled by using the kernel arguments "kgdbts=V1F100 kgdbwait" ## If kgdb arch specific implementation has NMI use "kgdbts=V1N6F100 2) After the system boot run the basic test. echo kgdbts=V1 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts 3) Run the concurrency tests. It is best to use n+1 while loops where n is the number of cpus you have in your system. The example below uses only two loops. ## This tests break points on sys_open while [ 1 ] ; do find / > /dev/null 2>&1 ; done & while [ 1 ] ; do find / > /dev/null 2>&1 ; done & echo kgdbts=V1S10000 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts fg # and hit control-c fg # and hit control-c ## This tests break points on do_fork while [ 1 ] ; do date > /dev/null ; done & while [ 1 ] ; do date > /dev/null ; done & echo kgdbts=V1F1000 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts fg # and hit control-c Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-04-15[LMB] Restructure allocation loops to avoid unsigned underflowPaul Mackerras
There is a potential bug in __lmb_alloc_base where we subtract `size' from the base address of a reserved region without checking whether the subtraction could wrap around and produce a very large unsigned value. In fact it probably isn't possible to hit the bug in practice since it would only occur in the situation where we can't satisfy the allocation request and there is a reserved region starting at 0. This fixes the potential bug by breaking out of the loop when we get to the point where the base of the reserved region is less than the size requested. This also restructures the loop to be a bit easier to follow. The same logic got copied into lmb_alloc_nid_unreserved, so this makes a similar change there. Here the bug is more likely to be hit because the outer loop (in lmb_alloc_nid) goes through the memory regions in increasing order rather than decreasing order as __lmb_alloc_base does, and we are therefore more likely to hit the case where we are testing against a reserved region with a base address of 0.

2008-04-15[LMB] Fix some whitespace and other formatting issues, use pr_debugPaul Mackerras
This makes no semantic changes. It fixes the whitespace and formatting a bit, gets rid of a local DBG macro and uses the equivalent pr_debug instead, and restructures one while loop that had a function call and assignment in the condition to be a bit more readable. Some comments about functions being called with relocation disabled were also removed as they would just be confusing to most readers now that the code is in lib/.

2008-04-15[LMB] Add lmb_alloc_nid()David S. Miller
A variant of lmb_alloc() that tries to allocate memory on a specified NUMA node 'nid' but falls back to normal lmb_alloc() if that fails. The caller provides a 'nid_range' function pointer which assists the allocator. It is given args 'start', 'end', and pointer to integer 'this_nid'. It places at 'this_nid' the NUMA node id that corresponds to 'start', and returns the end address within 'start' to 'end' at which memory assosciated with 'nid' ends. This callback allows a platform to use lmb_alloc_nid() in just about any context, even ones in which early_pfn_to_nid() might not be working yet. This function will be used by the NUMA setup code on sparc64, and also it can be used by powerpc, replacing it's hand crafted "careful_allocation()" function in arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c If x86 ever converts it's NUMA support over to using the LMB helpers, it can use this too as it has something entirely similar.

These messages are a regression compared with 2.6.24, which did not flood the syslog with them. The actual underlying problem was introduced in 2.6.23, when somebody made the string parsing no longer accept nul-terminated strings as a valid input to store_uevent(). Eg. "add\0" was valid prior to 2.6.23, where the code regressed to require "add" without the '\0'. This patch fixes the 2.6.23 / 2.6.24 regressions, by having the code once again tolerate the trailing '\0', if present. According to GregKH, this mainly affects older Ubuntu systems, such as the one I have here that requires this fix.

It appears that 64-bit PCI resources cannot possibly ever have worked on x86-32 even when the RESOURCES_64BIT config option was set, because any driver that tried to [pci_]ioremap() the resource would have been unable to do so because the high 32 bits would have been silently dropped on the floor by the ioremap() routines that only used "unsigned long".

2008-02-13[LMB]: Fix bug in __lmb_alloc_base().David S. Miller
We need to check lmb_add_region() for errors, it can run out of regions etc. Also, the size needs to be padded to the given alignment or else the lmb.reserved regions don't get expanded and instead we get tons of holes and eventually run out of regions prematurely.

2008-02-09x86: trivial printk optimizationsDenys Vlasenko
In arch/x86/boot/printf.c gets rid of unused tail of digits: const char *digits = "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"; (we are using 0-9a-f only) Uses smaller/faster lowercasing (by ORing with 0x20) if we know that we work on numbers/digits. Makes strtoul smaller, and also we are getting rid of static const char small_digits[] = "0123456789abcdefx"; static const char large_digits[] = "0123456789ABCDEFX"; since this works equally well: static const char digits[16] = "0123456789ABCDEF"; Size savings: $ size vmlinux.org vmlinux text data bss dec hex filename 877320 112252 90112 1079684 107984 vmlinux.org 877048 112252 90112 1079412 107874 vmlinux It may be also a tiny bit faster because code has less branches now, but I doubt it is measurable.

2008-02-08lib/scatterlist.o needed by a module only - link it in unconditionallyGuennadi Liakhovetski
lib/scatterlist.c is needed by drivers/media/video/videobuf-dma-sg.c, and we would like to be able to use the latter without PCI too, for example, on PXA270 ARM CPU. It is then possible to create a configuration with CONFIG_BLOCK=n, where only module code will need scatterlist.c. Therefore it must be in obj-y.
