      tracing: Dump either the oops's cpu source or all cpus buffers · cecbca96
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      The ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter, sysctl and sysrq let one
      dump every cpu buffers when an oops or panic happens.
      
      It's nice when you have few cpus but it may take ages if have many,
      plus you miss the real origin of the problem in all the cpu traces.
      
      Sometimes, all you need is to dump the cpu buffer that triggered the
      opps, most of the time it is our main interest.
      
      This patch modifies ftrace_dump_on_oops to handle this choice.
      
      The ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter, when it comes alone, has
      the same behaviour than before. But ftrace_dump_on_oops=orig_cpu
      will only dump the buffer of the cpu that oops'ed.
      
      Similarly, sysctl kernel.ftrace_dump_on_oops=1 and
      echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops keep their previous
      behaviour. But setting 2 jumps into cpu origin dump mode.
      
      v2: Fix double setup
      v3: Fix spelling issues reported by Randy Dunlap
      v4: Also update __ftrace_dump in the selftests

      kernel.h: add BUILD_BUG_ON_NOT_POWER_OF_2() · cc8ef6eb
      Roland Dreier 提交于
      Add BUILD_BUG_ON_NOT_POWER_OF_2()
      
      When code relies on a constant being a power of 2:
      
      	#define FOO	512	/* must be a power of 2 */
      
      it would be nice to be able to do:
      
      	BUILD_BUG_ON(!is_power_of_2(FOO));
      
      However applying an inline function does not result in a compile-time
      constant that can be used with BUILD_BUG_ON(), so trying that gives
      results in:
      
      	error: bit-field '<anonymous>' width not an integer constant
      
      As suggested by akpm, rather than monkeying around with is_power_of_2()
      and risking gcc warts about constant expressions, just create a macro
      BUILD_BUG_ON_NOT_POWER_OF_2() to encapsulate this common requirement.

      tracing: Add trace_dump_stack() · 03889384
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      I've been asked a few times about how to find out what is calling
      some location in the kernel. One way is to use dynamic function tracing
      and implement the func_stack_trace. But this only finds out who is
      calling a particular function. It does not tell you who is calling
      that function and entering a specific if conditional.
      
      I have myself implemented a quick version of trace_dump_stack() for
      this purpose a few times, and just needed it now. This is when I realized
      that this would be a good tool to have in the kernel like trace_printk().
      
      Using trace_dump_stack() is similar to dump_stack() except that it
      writes to the trace buffer instead and can be used in critical locations.
      
      For example:
      
      @@ -5485,8 +5485,12 @@ need_resched_nonpreemptible:
       	if (prev->state && !(preempt_count() & PREEMPT_ACTIVE)) {
       		if (unlikely(signal_pending_state(prev->state, prev)))
       			prev->state = TASK_RUNNING;
      -		else
      +		else {
       			deactivate_task(rq, prev, 1);
      +			trace_printk("Deactivating task %s:%d\n",
      +				     prev->comm, prev->pid);
      +			trace_dump_stack();
      +		}
       		switch_count = &prev->nvcsw;

      ratelimit: Make suppressed output messages more useful · 5c828713
      Christian Borntraeger 提交于
      Today I got:
      
        [39648.224782] Registered led device: iwl-phy0::TX
        [40676.545099] __ratelimit: 246 callbacks suppressed
        [40676.545103] abcdef[23675]: segfault at 0 ...
      
      as you can see the ratelimit message contains a function prefix.
      Since this is always __ratelimit, this wont help much.
      
      This patch changes __ratelimit and printk_ratelimit to print the
      function name that calls ratelimit.
      
      This will pinpoint the responsible function, as long as not several
      different places call ratelimit with the same ratelimit state at
      the same time. In that case we catch only one random function that
      calls ratelimit after the wait period.

      x86: Add sysctl to allow panic on IOCK NMI error · 5211a242
      Kurt Garloff 提交于
      This patch introduces a new sysctl:
      
          /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_io_nmi
      
      which defaults to 0 (off).
      
      When enabled, the kernel panics when the kernel receives an NMI
      caused by an IO error.
      
      The IO error triggered NMI indicates a serious system
      condition, which could result in IO data corruption. Rather
      than contiuing, panicing and dumping might be a better choice,
      so one can figure out what's causing the IO error.
      
      This could be especially important to companies running IO
      intensive applications where corruption must be avoided, e.g. a
      bank's databases.

      printk: Add KERN_DEFAULT printk log-level · e28d7137
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This adds a KERN_DEFAULT loglevel marker, for when you cannot decide
      which loglevel you want, and just want to keep an existing printk
      with the default loglevel.
      
      The difference between having KERN_DEFAULT and having no log-level
      marker at all is two-fold:
      
       - having the log-level marker will now force a new-line if the
         previous printout had not added one (perhaps because it forgot,
         but perhaps because it expected a continuation)
      
       - having a log-level marker is required if you are printing out a
         message that otherwise itself could perhaps otherwise be mistaken
         for a log-level.

      printk: clean up handling of log-levels and newlines · 5fd29d6c
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      It used to be that we would only look at the log-level in a printk()
      after explicit newlines, which can cause annoying problems when the
      previous printk() did not end with a '\n'. In that case, the log-level
      marker would be just printed out in the middle of the line, and be
      seen as just noise rather than change the logging level.
      
      This changes things to always look at the log-level in the first
      bytes of the printout. If a log level marker is found, it is always
      used as the log-level. Additionally, if no newline existed, one is
      added (unless the log-level is the explicit KERN_CONT marker, to
      explicitly show that it's a continuation of a previous line).

      Many developers use "/debug/" or "/debugfs/" or "/sys/kernel/debug/"
      directory name to mount debugfs filesystem for ftrace according to
      ./Documentation/tracers/ftrace.txt file.
      
      And, three directory names(ex:/debug/, /debugfs/, /sys/kernel/debug/) is
      existed in kernel source like ftrace, DRM, Wireless, Documentation,
      Network[sky2]files to mount debugfs filesystem.
      
      debugfs means debug filesystem for debugging easy to use by greg kroah
      hartman. "/sys/kernel/debug/" name is suitable as directory name
      of debugfs filesystem.

      tracing/core: bring back raw trace_printk for dynamic formats strings · 48ead020
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Impact: fix callsites with dynamic format strings
      
      Since its new binary implementation, trace_printk() internally uses static
      containers for the format strings on each callsites. But the value is
      assigned once at build time, which means that it can't take dynamic
      formats.
      
      So this patch unearthes the raw trace_printk implementation for the callers
      that will need trace_printk to be able to carry these dynamic format
      strings. The trace_printk() macro will use the appropriate implementation
      for each callsite. Most of the time however, the binary implementation will
      still be used.
      
      The other impact of this patch is that mmiotrace_printk() will use the old
      implementation because it calls the low level trace_vprintk and we can't
      guess here whether the format passed in it is dynamic or not.
      
      Some parts of this patch have been written by Steven Rostedt (most notably
      the part that chooses the appropriate implementation for each callsites).
