| * ftrace/recordmcount: mcount address adjustmentMartin Schwidefsky2011-05-171-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce mcount_adjust{,_32,_64} to the C implementation of recordmcount analog to $mcount_adjust in the perl script. The adjustment is added to the address of the relocations against the mcount symbol. If this adjustment is done by recordmcount at compile time the ftrace_call_adjust function can be turned into a nop.

| * ftrace/recordmcount: Add helper function get_sym_str_and_relp()Steven Rostedt2011-05-171-30/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code to get the symbol, string, and relp pointers in the two functions sift_rel_mcount() and nop_mcount() are identical and also non-trivial. Moving this duplicate code into a single helper function makes the code easier to read and more maintainable.

| * ftrace/x86: Do not trace .discard.text sectionSteven Rostedt2011-05-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The section called .discard.text has tracing attached to it and is currently ignored by ftrace. But it does include a call to the mcount stub. Adding a notrace to the code keeps gcc from adding the useless mcount caller to it.

| * ftrace: Avoid recording mcount on .init sections directlySteven Rostedt2011-05-171-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The init and exit sections should not be traced and adding a call to mcount to them is a waste of text and instruction cache. Have the macro section attributes include notrace to ignore these functions for tracing from the build.

| * kbuild/recordmcount: Add RECORDMCOUNT_WARN to warn about mcount callersSteven Rostedt2011-05-172-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When mcount is called in a section that ftrace will not modify it into a nop, we want to warn about this. But not warn about this always. Now if the user builds the kernel with the option RECORDMCOUNT_WARN=1 then the build will warn about mcount callers that are ignored and will just waste execution time.

| * ftrace/recordmcount: Add warning logic to warn on mcount not recordedSteven Rostedt2011-05-172-13/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's some sections that should not have mcount recorded and should not have modifications to the that code. But currently they waste some time by calling mcount anyway (which simply returns). As the real answer should be to either whitelist the section or have gcc ignore it fully. This change adds a option to recordmcount to warn when it finds a section that is ignored by ftrace but still contains mcount callers. This is not on by default as developers may not know if the section should be completely ignored or added to the whitelist.

| * ftrace/recordmcount: Make ignored mcount calls into nops at compile timeSteven Rostedt2011-05-172-6/+116
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are sections that are ignored by ftrace for the function tracing because the text is in a section that can be removed without notice. The mcount calls in these sections are ignored and ftrace never sees them. The downside of this is that the functions in these sections still call mcount. Although the mcount function is defined in assembly simply as a return, this added overhead is unnecessary. The solution is to convert these callers into nops at compile time. A better solution is to add 'notrace' to the section markers, but as new sections come up all the time, it would be nice that they are delt with when they are created. Later patches will deal with finding these sections and doing the proper solution. Thanks to H. Peter Anvin for giving me the right nops to use for x86. Cc: "H.

In principle we could remove the alignment-testing VM_BUG_ON() for architectures that don't have CMPXCHG_LOCAL, but leaving it in means that new code will tend not to break x86 even if it is introduced on another platform, and it's low cost to require alignment.

The function task_exit_notify() is called with (task_exit_notifier) .rwsem set and then calls sync_buffer() which locks buffer_mutex. In sync_start() the buffer_mutex was set to prevent notifier functions to be started before sync_start() is finished. But when registering the notifier, (task_exit_notifier).rwsem is locked too, but now in different order than in sync_buffer(). In theory this causes a locking dependency, what does not occur in practice since task_exit_notify() is always called after the notifier is registered which means the lock is already released. However, after checking the notifier functions it turned out the buffer_mutex in sync_start() is unnecessary. This is because sync_buffer() may be called from the notifiers even if sync_start() did not finish yet, the buffers are already allocated but empty. No need to protect this with the mutex. So we fix this theoretical locking dependency by removing buffer_mutex in sync_start(). This is similar to the implementation before commit: 750d857 oprofile: fix crash when accessing freed task structs which introduced the locking dependency.

What the comment failed to mention was that interrupts needed to be disabled to keep interrupts from preempting the modifying of the code and then executing the code that was partially modified.

Not all callers test the return value of irq_set_irq_wake(), but those that do take != 0 to mean error as far as I can see, so they should be fine. I guess those that don't test actually should, but that's a different issue.

The cpu which brought up the new cpu waits for the cpu_online bit and when it observes it, it sets the cpu_active bit for this cpu. The cpu_active bit is the relevant one for the scheduler to consider the cpu as a viable target. With forced threaded interrupt handlers which imply forced threaded softirqs we observed the following race: cpu 0 cpu 1 bringup(cpu1); set_cpu_online(smp_processor_id(), true); local_irq_enable(); while (!cpu_online(cpu1)); timer_interrupt() -> wake_up(softirq_thread_cpu1); -> enqueue_on(softirq_thread_cpu1, cpu0); ^^^^ cpu_notify(CPU_ONLINE, cpu1); -> sched_cpu_active(cpu1) -> set_cpu_active((cpu1, true); When an interrupt happens before the cpu_active bit is set by the cpu which brought up the newly onlined cpu, then the scheduler refuses to enqueue the woken thread which is bound to that newly onlined cpu on that newly onlined cpu due to the not yet set cpu_active bit and selects a fallback runqueue. Not really an expected and desirable behaviour. So far this has only been observed with forced hard/softirq threading, but in theory this could happen without forced threaded hard/softirqs as well. It's probably unobservable as it would take a massive interrupt storm on the newly onlined cpu which causes the softirq loop to wake up the softirq thread and an even longer delay of the cpu which waits for the cpu_online bit.
