Provide proper kprobes fault handling, if a user-specified pre/post handlers tries to access user address space, through copy_from_user(), get_user() etc. The user-specified fault handler gets called only if the fault occurs while executing user-specified handlers. In such a case user-specified handler is allowed to fix it first, later if the user-specifed fault handler does not fix it, we try to fix it by calling fix_exception(). The user-specified handler will not be called if the fault happens when single stepping the original instruction, instead we reset the current probe and allow the system page fault handler to fix it up.

When kretprobe probes the schedule() function, if the probed process exits then schedule() will never return, so some kretprobe instances will never be recycled. In this patch the parent process will recycle retprobe instances of the probed function and there will be no memory leak of kretprobe instances.

In normal operation, kretprobe makes a target function return to trampoline code. A kprobe (called trampoline_probe) has been inserted in the trampoline code. When the kernel hits this kprobe, it calls kretprobe's handler and it returns to the original return address. Kretprobe-booster removes the trampoline_probe. It allows the trampoline code to call kretprobe's handler directly instead of invoking kprobe. The trampoline code returns to the original return address.

Current kprobe copies the original instruction at the probe point and replaces it with a breakpoint instruction (int3). When the kernel hits the probe point, kprobe handler is invoked. And the copied instruction is single-step executed on the copied buffer (not on the original address) by kprobe. After that, the kprobe checks registers and modify it (if need) as if the instructions was executed on the original address. My proposal is based on the fact there are many instructions which do NOT require the register modification after the single-step execution. When the copied instruction is a kind of them, kprobe just jumps back to the next instruction after single-step execution. If so, why don't we execute those instructions directly? With kprobe-booster patch, kprobes will execute a copied instruction directly and (if need) jump back to original code. This direct execution is executed when the kprobe don't have both post_handler and break_handler, and the copied instruction can be executed directly. I sorted instructions which can be executed directly or not; - Call instructions are NG(can not be executed directly). We should correct the return address pushed into top of stack. - Indirect instructions except for absolute indirect-jumps are NG. Those instructions changes EIP randomly. We should check EIP and correct it. - Instructions that change EIP beyond the range of the instruction buffer are NG. - Instructions that change EIP to tail 5 bytes of the instruction buffer (it is the size of a jump instruction). We must write a jump instruction which backs to original kernel code in the instruction buffer. - Break point instruction is NG. We should not touch EIP and pass to other handlers. - Absolute direct/indirect jumps are OK.- Conditional Jumps are NG. - Halt and software-interruptions are NG. Because it will stay on the instruction buffer of kprobes. - Prefixes are NG. - Unknown/reserved opcode is NG. - Other 1 byte instructions are OK. But those instructions need a jump back code. - 2 bytes instructions are mapped sparsely. So, in this release, this patch don't boost those instructions. >From Intel's IA-32 opcode map described in IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual Vol.2 B, I determined that following opcodes are not boostable. - 0FH (2byte escape) - 70H - 7FH (Jump on condition) - 9AH (Call) and 9CH (Pushf) - C0H-C1H (Grp 2: includes reserved opcode) - C6H-C7H (Grp11: includes reserved opcode) - CCH-CEH (Software-interrupt) - D0H-D3H (Grp2: includes reserved opcode) - D6H (Reserved) - D8H-DFH (Coprocessor) - E0H-E3H (loop/conditional jump) - E8H (Call) - F0H-F3H (Prefixes and reserved) - F4H (Halt) - F6H-F7H (Grp3: includes reserved opcode) - FEH-FFH(Grp4,5: includes reserved opcode) Kprobe-booster checks whether target instruction can be boosted (can be executed directly) at arch_copy_kprobe() function. If the target instruction can be boosted, it clears "boostable" flag. If not, it sets "boostable" flag -1. This is disabled status. In resume_execution() function, If "boostable" flag is cleared, kprobe-booster measures the size of the target instruction and sets "boostable" flag 1. In kprobe_handler(), kprobe checks the "boostable" flag. If the flag is 1, it resets current kprobe and executes instruction buffer directly instead of single stepping. When unregistering a boosted kprobe, it calls synchronize_sched() after "int3" is removed. So we can ensure followings after the synchronize_sched() called. - interrupt handlers are finished on all CPUs. - instruction buffer is not executed on all CPUs. And we can release the boosted kprobe safely. And also, on preemptible kernel, the booster is not enabled where the kernel preemption is enabled. So, there are no preempted threads on the instruction buffer. The description of kretprobe-booster: ==================================== In the normal operation, kretprobe make a target function return to trampoline code. And a kprobe (called trampoline_probe) have been inserted at the trampoline code. When the kernel hits this kprobe, it calls kretprobe's handler and it returns to original return address. Kretprobe-booster patch removes the trampoline_probe. It allows the trampoline code to call kretprobe's handler directly instead of invoking kprobe. And tranpoline code returns to original return address. This new trampoline code stores and restores registers, so the kretprobe handler is still able to access those registers. Current kprobe has about 1.3 usec/probe(*) overhead, and kprobe-booster patch reduces it to 0.6 usec/probe(*). Also current kretprobe has about 2.0 usec/probe(*) overhead. Kprobe-booster patch reduces it to 1.3 usec/probe(*), and the combination of both kprobe-booster patch and kretprobe-booster patch reduces it to 0.9 usec/probe(*). I expect the combination of both patches can reduce half of a probing overhead. Performance numbers strongly depend on the processor model. Andrew Morton wrote: > These preempt tricks look rather nasty. Can you please describe what the > problem is, precisely? And how this code avoids it? Perhaps we can find > something cleaner. The problem is how to remove the copied instructions of the kprobe *safely* on the preemptable kernel (CONFIG_PREEMPT=y). Kprobes basically executes the following actions; (1)int3 (2)preempt_disable() (3)kprobe_prehandler() (4)copied instructioin(single step) (5)kprobe_posthandler() (6)preempt_enable() (7)return to the original code During the execution of copied instruction, preemption is disabled (from step (2) to (6)). When unregistering the probes, Kprobe waits for RCU quiescent state by using synchronize_sched() after removing int3 instruction. Thus we can ensure the copied instruction is not executed. On the other hand, kprobe-booster executes the following actions; (1)int3 (2)preempt_disable() (3)kprobe_prehandler() (4)preempt_enable() <-- this one is added by my patch (5)copied instruction(direct execution) (6)jmp back to the original code The problem is that we have no way to prevent preemption on step (5) or (6). We cannot call preempt_disable() after step (6), because there are no rooms to do that. Thus, some other processes may be preempted at step(5) or (6) on preemptable kernel. And I couldn't find the easy way to ensure that other processes' stack do *not* have the address of them. (I thought some way to do that, but those are very costly.) So currently, I simply boost the kprobe only when the probe point is already preemption disabled. > Also, the patch adds a preempt_enable() but I don't see a corresponding > preempt_disable(). Am I missing something? It is corresponding to the preempt_disable() in the top of kprobe_handler(). I copied the code of kprobe_handler() here: static int __kprobes kprobe_handler(struct pt_regs *regs) { struct kprobe *p; int ret = 0; kprobe_opcode_t *addr = NULL; unsigned long *lp; struct kprobe_ctlblk *kcb; /* * We don't want to be preempted for the entire * duration of kprobe processing */ preempt_disable(); <-- HERE kcb = get_kprobe_ctlblk(); Signed-off-by: NMasami Hiramatsu <hiramatu@sdl.hitachi.co.jp> Cc: Prasanna S Panchamukhi <prasanna@in.ibm.com> Cc: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@in.ibm.com> Cc: Anil S Keshavamurthy <anil.s.keshavamurthy@intel.com> Cc: David S.

Almost all users of the table addresses from the EFI system table want physical addresses. So rather than doing the pa->va->pa conversion, just keep physical addresses in struct efi. This fixes a DMI bug: the efi structure contained the physical SMBIOS address on x86 but the virtual address on ia64, so dmi_scan_machine() used ioremap() on a virtual address on ia64. This is essentially the same as an earlier patch by Matt Tolentino: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112130292316281&w=2 except that this changes all table addresses, not just ACPI addresses. Matt's original patch was backed out because it caused MCAs on HP sx1000 systems. That problem is resolved by the ioremap() attribute checking added for ia64.

dmi_scan_machine() tries to ioremap 0x10000 (64K) bytes, even though it only looks at the first 32 bytes or so. If the SMBIOS table is near the end of a memory region, the ioremap() may fail when it shouldn't. This is in the efi_enabled path, so it really only affects ia64 at the moment.

Enable DMI table parsing on ia64. Andi Kleen has a patch in his x86_64 tree which enables the use of i386 dmi_scan.c on x86_64. dmi_scan.c functions are being used by the drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c driver for autodetecting the ports or memory spaces where the IPMI controllers may be found. This patch adds equivalent changes for ia64 as to what is in the x86_64 tree. In addition, I reworked the DMI detection, such that on EFI-capable systems, it uses the efi.smbios pointer to find the table, rather than brute-force searching from 0xF0000. On non-EFI systems, it continues the brute-force search. My test system, an Intel S870BN4 'Tiger4', aka Dell PowerEdge 7250, with latest BIOS, does not list the IPMI controller in the ACPI namespace, nor does it have an ACPI SPMI table. Also note, currently shipping Dell x8xx EM64T servers don't have these either, so DMI is the only method for obtaining the address of the IPMI controller.

Currently /proc/iomem exports physical memory also apart from io device memory. But on i386, it truncates any memory more than 4GB. This leads to problems for kexec/kdump. Kexec reads /proc/iomem to determine the system memory layout and prepares a memory map based on that and passes it to the kernel being kexeced. Given the fact that memory more than 4GB has been truncated, new kernel never gets to see and use that memory. Kdump also reads /proc/iomem to determine the physical memory layout of the system and encodes this informaiton in ELF headers. After a crash new kernel parses these ELF headers being used by previous kernel and vmcore is prepared accordingly. As memory more than 4GB has been truncated, kdump never sees that memory and never prepares ELF headers for it. Hence vmcore is truncated and limited to 4GB even if there is more physical memory in the system. This patch exports memory more than 4GB through /proc/iomem on i386.

"In some cases, especially on modern laptops with a lot of PCI and cardbus bridges, we're unable to assign correct secondary/subordinate bus numbers to all cardbus bridges due to BIOS limitations unless we are using "pci=assign-busses" boot option." -- Ivan Kokshaysky (from a patch comment) Without it, Cardbus cards inserted are never seen by PCI because the parent PCI-PCI Bridge of the Cardbus bridge will not pass and translate Type 1 PCI configuration cycles correctly and the system will fail to find and initialise the PCI devices in the system. Reference: PCI-PCI Bridges: PCI Configuration Cycles and PCI Bus Numbering: http://www.science.unitn.it/~fiorella/guidelinux/tlk/node72.html The reason for this is that: ``All PCI busses located behind a PCI-PCI bridge must reside between the secondary bus number and the subordinate bus number (inclusive).'' "pci=assign-busses" makes pcibios_assign_all_busses return 1 and this turns on PCI renumbering during PCI probing. Alan suggested to use DMI automatically set assign-busses on problem systems. The only question for me was where to put it. I put it directly before scanning PCI bus into pcibios_scan_root() because it's called from legacy, acpi and numa and so it can be one place for all systems and configurations which may need it. AMD64 Laptops are also affected and fixed by assign-busses, and the code is also incuded from arch/x86_64/pci/ that place will also work for x86_64 kernels, I only ifdef'-ed the x86-only Laptop in this example. Affected and known or assumed to be fixed with it are (found by googling): * ASUS Z71V and L3s * Samsung X20 * Compaq R3140us and all Compaq R3000 series laptops with TI1620 Controller, also Compaq R4000 series (from a kernel.org bugreport) * HP zv5000z (AMD64 3700+, known that fixup_parent_subordinate_busnr fixes it) * HP zv5200z * IBM ThinkPad 240 * An IBM ThinkPad (1.8 GHz Pentium M) debugged by Pavel Machek gives the correspondig message which detects the possible problem. * MSI S260 / Medion SIM 2100 MD 95600 The patch also expands the "try pci=assign-busses" warning so testers will help us to update the DMI table.

However, it's pretty clear that the e820 entries are there for a reason. Probably they are a hack by the BIOS maintainers to keep Windows from stomping/moving that region, exactly because they want to keep the bridge where it is (or, it's actually for the BIOS itself - the BIOS tables are a horrid mess, and BIOS engineers are pretty hacky people: they'll add random entries to make their own broken algorithms do the "right thing"). > Starting from 2.6.13, kernel tries to resolve that sort of conflicts, > so that prefetch window of the bridge and the framebuffer memory behind > it get moved to 0x10000000. I think we could (and probably should) solve this another way: consider the ACPI "reserved regions" from the e820 map exactly the same way that we do other ACPI hints - they should restrict _new_ allocations, but not impact stuff we figure out on our own. Basically, right now we assign _unassigned_ resources at "fs_initcall" time. If we were to add in the e820 "reserved region" stuff before that (but after we've done PCI discovery), we'd probably do the right thing. Right now we do the e820 reserved regions very early indeed: we call "register_memory()" from setup_arch(). We could move at least part of it (the part that registers the resources) down a bit. Here's a test-patch. I'm not saying we should absolutely do this, but it might be interesting to try... Cc: "Antonino A.

I moved it to a separate function which is safer. This avoids problems with the linker reordering them and the less useful PCI config space access methods taking priority over the better ones.

When we stop allocating percpu memory for not-possible CPUs we must not touch the percpu data for not-possible CPUs at all. The correct way of doing this is to test cpu_possible() or to use for_each_cpu(). This patch is a kernel-wide sweep of all instances of NR_CPUS. I found very few instances of this bug, if any. But the patch converts lots of open-coded test to use the preferred helper macros.

Attempt to fix the problem wherein people's oops reports scroll off the screen due to repeated oopsing or to oopses on other CPUs. If this happens the user can reboot with the `pause_on_oops=<seconds>' option. It will allow the first oopsing CPU to print an oops record just a single time. Second oopsing attempts, or oopses on other CPUs will cause those CPUs to enter a tight loop until the specified number of seconds have elapsed. The patch implements the infrastructure generically in the expectation that architectures other than x86 will find it useful.
