* kbuild: mips use generic asm-offsets.h supportSam Ravnborg2005-09-0915-47/+16
| | | | | | | | | Removed obsolete stuff from arch makefile. mips had a special rule for generating asm-offsets.h so preserved it using an architecture specific hook in top-level Kbuild file. Renamed .h file to asm-offsets.h Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

* kbuild: full dependency check on asm-offsets.hSam Ravnborg2005-09-095-13/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Building asm-offsets.h has been moved to a seperate Kbuild file located in the top-level directory. This allow us to share the functionality across the architectures. The old rules in architecture specific Makefiles will die in subsequent patches. Furhtermore the usual kbuild dependency tracking is now used when deciding to rebuild asm-offsets.s. So we no longer risk to fail a rebuild caused by asm-offsets.c dependencies being touched. With this common rule-set we now force the same name across all architectures. Following patches will fix the rest. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sanitized and fixed floppy dependencies: split the messy dependencies for BLK_DEV_FD by introducing a new symbol (ARCH_MAY_HAVE_PC_FDC), making BLK_DEV_FD depend on that one and taking declarations of ARCH_MAY_HAVE_PC_FDC to arch/*/Kconfig. While we are at it, fixed several obvious cases when BLK_DEV_FD should have been excluded (architectures lacking asm/floppy.h are *not* going to have floppy.c compile, let alone work). If you can come up with better name for that ("this architecture might have working PC-compatible floppy disk controller"), you are more than welcome - just s/ARCH_MAY_HAVE_PC_FDC/your_prefered_name/g in the patch below...

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Intel IOP3xx processors Patch from Adam Brooks The current gettimeofday implementation for the IOP3xx processors reads the contents of the timer interrupt register and does math on the value to figure out exactly what time it is. To do this it multiplies the contents of the timer register with a large constant. The result is then divided by a large constant. Unfortunately the result of the first multiplication is often too large for the register to hold. The solution is to combine the two large constants to a single smaller constant at compile time. Then the timer value can be divided by single smaller constant without any overflow issues.

| * | [PATCH] kprobes: fix handling of simultaneous probe hit/unregisterJim Keniston2005-09-072-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a bug in kprobes's handling of a corner case on i386 and x86_64. On an SMP system, if one CPU unregisters a kprobe just after another CPU hits that probepoint, kprobe_handler() on the latter CPU sees that the kprobe has been unregistered, and attempts to let the CPU continue as if the probepoint hadn't been hit. The bug is that on i386 and x86_64, we were neglecting to set the IP back to the beginning of the probed instruction. This could cause an oops or crash. This bug doesn't exist on ppc64 and ia64, where a breakpoint instruction leaves the IP pointing to the beginning of the instruction. I don't know about sparc64. (Dave, could you please advise?) This fix has been tested on i386 and x86_64 SMP systems. To reproduce the problem, set one CPU to work registering and unregistering a kprobe repeatedly, and another CPU pounding the probepoint in a tight loop.

| * | [PATCH] Kprobes/IA64: fix race when break hits and kprobe not foundKeshavamurthy Anil S2005-09-071-0/+45
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch addresses a potential race condition for a case where Kprobe has been removed right after another CPU has taken a break hit. The way this is addressed here is when the CPU that has taken a break hit does not find its corresponding kprobe, then we check to see if the original instruction got replaced with other than break. If it got replaced with other than break instruction, then we continue to execute from the replaced instruction, else if we find that it is still a break, then we let the kernel handle this, as this might be the break instruction inserted by other than kprobe(may be kernel debugger).

Zero thus means no matches. 2) A match callback can return nonzero to stop the match checking. Bug: The count is incremented after we check for the nonzero return value, so it does not reflect the actual count. We could say this is intended, for some dumb reason, except that it means that a match on the first check returns zero--no matches--if the callback returns nonzero. Attached patch implements the count before calling the callback and thus before potentially short-circuiting.

I have fixed a problem with the ia64 version of build_sched_domains(), but a similar fix still needs to be made to the generic build_sched_domains() in kernel/sched.c. The "dynamic sched domains" functionality has recently been merged into 2.6.13-rcN that sees the dynamic declaration of a cpu-exclusive (a.k.a. "isolated") cpuset and rebuilds the CPU Scheduler sched domains and sched groups to separate away the CPUs in this cpu-exclusive cpuset from the remainder of the non-isolated CPUs. This allows the non-isolated CPUs to completely ignore the isolated CPUs when doing load-balancing. Unfortunately, build_sched_domains() expects that a sched domain will include all the CPUs of each node in the domain, i.e., that no node will belong in both an isolated cpuset and a non-isolated cpuset. Declaring a cpuset that violates this presumption will produce flawed data structures and will oops the kernel. To trigger the problem (on a NUMA system with >1 CPUs per node): cd /dev/cpuset mkdir newcpuset cd newcpuset echo 0 >cpus echo 0 >mems echo 1 >cpu_exclusive I have fixed this shortcoming for ia64 NUMA (with multiple CPUs per node). A similar shortcoming exists in the generic build_sched_domains() (in kernel/sched.c) for NUMA, and that needs to be fixed also. The fix involves dynamically allocating sched_group_nodes[] and sched_group_allnodes[] for each invocation of build_sched_domains(), rather than using global arrays for these structures. Care must be taken to remember kmalloc() addresses so that arch_destroy_sched_domains() can properly kfree() the new dynamic structures.
