Using PTRACE_SINGLESTEP on a child that does an int80 syscall misses the SIGTRAP that should be delivered upon syscall exit.

This is useful for Xen > because it will need only to redefine only the macro to a hypervisor call. I am of the opinion that the above changeset is incomplete, i.e. it missed converting some previous uses of user_mode to user_mode_vm. While most of them could be considered just cosmetical, at least the one in die_nmi doesn't appear to be. Signed-off-by:

Registering a callback handler through register_die_notifier() is obviously primarily intended for use by modules. However, the way these currently get called it is basically impossible for them to actually be used by modules, as there is, on non-PAE configurationes, a good chance (the larger the module, the better) for the system to crash as a result. This is because the callback gets invoked (a) in the page fault path before the top level page table propagation gets carried out (hence a fault to propagate the top level page table entry/entries mapping to module's code/data would nest infinitly) and (b) in the NMI path, where nested faults must absolutely not happen, since otherwise the IRET from the nested fault re-enables NMIs, potentially resulting in nested NMI occurences. Besides the modular aspect, similar problems would even arise for in- kernel consumers of the API if they touched ioremap()ed or vmalloc()ed memory inside their handlers. Signed-off-by: -

Use boot info to start early_printk() at the current row on VGA console, as left by the boot loader. Signed-off-by:

Stas Sergeev authored
The history is that -mm kernels do not work for me for a few months already. The things started from crashing somewhere after starting init, and for the last month - no boot at all, just "Uncompressing... OK, booting kernel", and silence. Early console didn't work too. With the latest releases this degraded into an infinite stream of the "Unknown interrupt or fault" messages. So today my patience ran out and I started to think how can I collect at least some info for the bug-report. Attached is the patch that allows to gather some valueable debug info on the problem by making an early console more useable. I can't properly test the patch, as the kernel still doesn't boot, so I'll explain it in details in a hope someone else can justify the intrusive changes. arch_hooks.h: added prototypes for setup_early_printk() and early_printk(). setup.c: killed wrong setup_early_printk() prototype. Moved setup_early_printk() a bit earlier, as it was not "early enough" to cover the bug I was fighting with. early_printk.c: made it to start printing from the bottom of the screen, otherwise the messages interfere with the ones of the boot-loader, so you can't read them.

In some code I am developing I had occasion to change the type of a variable. This made the value put_user was putting to user space wrong. But the code continued to build cleanly without errors. Introducing a temporary fixes this problem and at least with gcc-3.3.5 does not cause gcc any problems with optimizing out the temporary. gcc-4.x using SSA internally ought to be even better at optimizing out temporaries, so I don't expect a temporary to become a problem. Especially because in all correct cases the types on both sides of the assignment to the temporary are the same. Signed-off-by:

Implement SMP alternatives, i.e. switching at runtime between different code versions for UP and SMP. The code can patch both SMP->UP and UP->SMP. The UP->SMP case is useful for CPU hotplug. With CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG enabled the code switches to UP at boot time and when the number of CPUs goes down to 1, and switches to SMP when the number of CPUs goes up to 2. Without CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG or on non-SMP-capable systems the code is patched once at boot time (if needed) and the tables are released afterwards. The changes in detail: * The current alternatives bits are moved to a separate file, the SMP alternatives code is added there. * The patch adds some new elf sections to the kernel: .smp_altinstructions like .altinstructions, also contains a list of alt_instr structs. .smp_altinstr_replacement like .altinstr_replacement, but also has some space to save original instruction before replaving it. .smp_locks list of pointers to lock prefixes which can be nop'ed out on UP. The first two are used to replace more complex instruction sequences such as spinlocks and semaphores. It would be possible to deal with the lock prefixes with that as well, but by handling them as special case the table sizes become much smaller. * The sections are page-aligned and padded up to page size, so they can be free if they are not needed. * Splitted the code to release init pages to a separate function and use it to release the elf sections if they are unused.

Print stack backtraces in multiple columns, saving screen space. Number of columns is configurable and defaults to one so behavior is backwards-compatible. Also removes the brackets around addresses when printing more that one entry per line so they print as: <address> instead of: [<address>] This helps multiple entries fit better on one line.

We have noticed lockups during boot when stress testing kexec on ppc64. Two cpus would deadlock in scheduler code trying to grab already taken spinlocks. The double_rq_lock code uses the address of the runqueue to order the taking of multiple locks. This address is a per cpu variable: if (rq1 < rq2) { spin_lock(&rq1->lock); spin_lock(&rq2->lock); } else { spin_lock(&rq2->lock); spin_lock(&rq1->lock); } On the other hand, the code in wake_sleeping_dependent uses the cpu id order to grab locks: for_each_cpu_mask(i, sibling_map) spin_lock(&cpu_rq(i)->lock); This means we rely on the address of per cpu data increasing as cpu ids increase. While this will be true for the generic percpu implementation it may not be true for arch specific implementations. One way to solve this is to always take runqueues in cpu id order. To do this we add a cpu variable to the runqueue and check it in the double runqueue locking functions. Signed-off-by:Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Acked-by:
