| * tracing: Unify arch_syscall_addr() implementationsMike Frysinger2010-02-171-10/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most implementations of arch_syscall_addr() are the same, so create a default version in common code and move the one piece that differs (the syscall table) to asm/syscall.h. New arch ports don't have to waste time copying & pasting this simple function. The s390/sparc versions need to be different, so document why.

| * | ftrace: Remove memory barriers from NMI code when not neededSteven Rostedt2010-02-251-0/+26
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code in stop_machine that modifies the kernel text has a bit of logic to handle the case of NMIs. stop_machine does not prevent NMIs from executing, and if an NMI were to trigger on another CPU as the modifying CPU is changing the NMI text, a GPF could result. To prevent the GPF, the NMI calls ftrace_nmi_enter() which may modify the code first, then any other NMIs will just change the text to the same content which will do no harm. The code that stop_machine called must wait for NMIs to finish while it changes each location in the kernel. That code may also change the text to what the NMI changed it to. The key is that the text will never change content while another CPU is executing it. To make the above work, the call to ftrace_nmi_enter() must also do a smp_mb() as well as atomic_inc(). But for applications like perf that require a high number of NMIs for profiling, this can have a dramatic effect on the system. Not only is it doing a full memory barrier on both nmi_enter() as well as nmi_exit() it is also modifying a global variable with an atomic operation. This kills performance on large SMP machines. Since the memory barriers are only needed when ftrace is in the process of modifying the text (which is seldom), this patch adds a "modifying_code" variable that gets set before stop machine is executed and cleared afterwards. The NMIs will check this variable and store it in a per CPU "save_modifying_code" variable that it will use to check if it needs to do the memory barriers and atomic dec on NMI exit.

That said we don't keep track how the user enabled the breakpoints so when the user requests the dr7 value, we only translate the "enabled" status using the global enabled bits. It means that if the user enabled a breakpoint using the local enabled bit, reading back dr7 will set the global bit and clear the local one. Apps like Wine expect a full dr7 POKEUSER/PEEKUSER match for emulated softwares that implement old reverse engineering protection schemes. We fix that by keeping track of the whole dr7 value given by the user in the thread structure to drop this bug. We'll think about something more proper later. This fixes a 2.6.32 - 2.6.33-x ptrace regression.

| * | hw-breakpoints: Accept breakpoints on NULL addressFrederic Weisbecker2010-02-191-23/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before we had a generic breakpoint API, ptrace was accepting breakpoints on NULL address in x86. The new API refuse them, without given strong reasons. We need to follow the previous behaviour as some userspace apps like Wine need such NULL breakpoints to ensure old emulated software protections are still working.

The kernel debugger cannot use any mutex_lock() calls because it can start the kernel running from an invalid context. A mutex free version of the reservation API needed to get created for the kernel debugger to safely update hw breakpoint reservations. The possibility for a breakpoint reservation to be concurrently processed at the time that kgdb interrupts the system is improbable. Should this corner case occur the end user is warned, and the kernel debugger will prohibit updating the hardware breakpoint reservations. Any time the kernel debugger reserves a hardware breakpoint it will be a system wide reservation.

The hw_breakpoint_handler() now consumes the hw breakpoints that were previously set by kgdb arch specific code. In order for kgdb to work in conjunction with this core API change, kgdb must use some of the low level functions of the hw_breakpoint API to install, uninstall, and deal with hw breakpoint reservations. The kgdb core required a change to call kgdb_disable_hw_debug anytime a slave cpu enters kgdb_wait() in order to keep all the hw breakpoints in sync as well as to prevent hitting a hw breakpoint while kgdb is active. During the architecture specific initialization of kgdb, it will pre-allocate 4 disabled (struct perf event **) structures. Kgdb will use these to manage the capabilities for the 4 hw breakpoint registers, per cpu. Right now the hw_breakpoint API does not have a way to ask how many breakpoints are available, on each CPU so it is possible that the install of a breakpoint might fail when kgdb restores the system to the run state. The intent of this patch is to first get the basic functionality of hw breakpoints working and leave it to the person debugging the kernel to understand what hw breakpoints are in use and what restrictions have been imposed as a result. Breakpoint constraints will be dealt with in a future patch. While atomic, the x86 specific kgdb code will call arch_uninstall_hw_breakpoint() and arch_install_hw_breakpoint() to manage the cpu specific hw breakpoints. The net result of these changes allow kgdb to use the same pool of hw_breakpoints that are used by the perf event API, but neither knows about future reservations for the available hw breakpoint slots.

It causes a big boot delay because the firmware is not available. See http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=126267290920060 It also renders the reload sysfs attribute useless. Fixing this is too intrusive for an -rc5 kernel. Thus I'd like to restore the microcode loading behaviour of kernel 2.6.32.

Irrespective of the other things like apic_id's, total number of logical cpu's, Linux kernel should default to physical mode for this system. The 32-bit kernel does so using the OEM checks for the IBM summit platform. Add a similar OEM platform check for the 64bit kernel too. Otherwise the linux kernel boot can hang on this platform under certain bios/platform settings.

In this case, we hang in an endless loop. This can happen in an x86-32 kernel after processing the last entry in a kernel stacktrace. Just stop the stack frame walking after we encounter an invalid kernel address. This fixes a hard lockup in x86-32.

With this change, we can run into a situation where an irq cleanup interrupt on a cpu can cleanup the vector mappings associated with multiple irqs, of which one of the irq's migration might be still in progress. As such when that irq hits the old cpu, we get the "No IRQ handler" messages. Fix this by checking for the irq_cfg's move_in_progress and if the move is still in progress delay the vector cleanup to another irq cleanup interrupt request (which will happen when the irq starts arriving at the new cpu destination).

This is wasteful because we need to walk through the entire NMI/DEBUG stack before retrieving the interrupted point. We can fix that by just using the frame pointer from the captured regs. It points exactly where we want to start.
