      mm/init: Add 'rodata=off' boot cmdline parameter to disable read-only kernel mappings · d2aa1aca
      Kees Cook 提交于
      It may be useful to debug writes to the readonly sections of memory,
      so provide a cmdline "rodata=off" to allow for this. This can be
      expanded in the future to support "log" and "write" modes, but that
      will need to be architecture-specific.
      
      This also makes KDB software breakpoints more usable, as read-only
      mappings can now be disabled on any kernel.

      debug: prevent entering debug mode on panic/exception. · 5516fd7b
      Colin Cross 提交于
      On non-developer devices, kgdb prevents the device from rebooting
      after a panic.
      
      Incase of panics and exceptions, to allow the device to reboot, prevent
      entering debug mode to avoid getting stuck waiting for the user to
      interact with debugger.
      
      To avoid entering the debugger on panic/exception without any extra
      configuration, panic_timeout is being used which can be set via
      /proc/sys/kernel/panic at run time and CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT sets the
      default value.
      
      Setting panic_timeout indicates that the user requested machine to
      perform unattended reboot after panic. We dont want to get stuck waiting
      for the user input incase of panic.

      kdb: Provide forward search at more prompt · fb6daa75
      Daniel Thompson 提交于
      Currently kdb allows the output of comamnds to be filtered using the
      | grep feature. This is useful but does not permit the output emitted
      shortly after a string match to be examined without wading through the
      entire unfiltered output of the command. Such a feature is particularly
      useful to navigate function traces because these traces often have a
      useful trigger string *before* the point of interest.
      
      This patch reuses the existing filtering logic to introduce a simple
      forward search to kdb that can be triggered from the more prompt.

      kdb: Fix a prompt management bug when using | grep · ab08e464
      Daniel Thompson 提交于
      Currently when the "| grep" feature is used to filter the output of a
      command then the prompt is not displayed for the subsequent command.
      Likewise any characters typed by the user are also not echoed to the
      display. This rather disconcerting problem eventually corrects itself
      when the user presses Enter and the kdb_grepping_flag is cleared as
      kdb_parse() tries to make sense of whatever they typed.
      
      This patch resolves the problem by moving the clearing of this flag
      from the middle of command processing to the beginning.

      kdb: Remove stack dump when entering kgdb due to NMI · 54543881
      Daniel Thompson 提交于
      Issuing a stack dump feels ergonomically wrong when entering due to NMI.
      
      Entering due to NMI is normally a reaction to a user request, either the
      NMI button on a server or a "magic knock" on a UART. Therefore the
      backtrace behaviour on entry due to NMI should be like SysRq-g (no stack
      dump) rather than like oops.
      
      Note also that the stack dump does not offer any information that
      cannot be trivial retrieved using the 'bt' command.

      kdb: Avoid printing KERN_ levels to consoles · f7d4ca8b
      Daniel Thompson 提交于
      Currently when kdb traps printk messages then the raw log level prefix
      (consisting of '\001' followed by a numeral) does not get stripped off
      before the message is issued to the various I/O handlers supported by
      kdb. This causes annoying visual noise as well as causing problems
      grepping for ^. It is also a change of behaviour compared to normal usage
      of printk() usage. For example <SysRq>-h ends up with different output to
      that of kdb's "sr h".
      
      This patch addresses the problem by stripping log levels from messages
      before they are issued to the I/O handlers. printk() which can also
      act as an i/o handler in some cases is special cased; if the caller
      provided a log level then the prefix will be preserved when sent to
      printk().
      
      The addition of non-printable characters to the output of kdb commands is a
      regression, albeit and extremely elderly one, introduced by commit
      04d2c8c8 ("printk: convert the format for KERN_<LEVEL> to a 2 byte
      pattern"). Note also that this patch does *not* restore the original
      behaviour from v3.5. Instead it makes printk() from within a kdb command
      display the message without any prefix (i.e. like printk() normally does).

      There was a follow on replacement patch against the prior

        * Replace NR_CPUS with CONFIG_NR_CPUS to tell checkpatch that we
          really want a static limit.

      mm: per-thread vma caching · 615d6e87
      Davidlohr Bueso 提交于
      This patch is a continuation of efforts trying to optimize find_vma(),
      avoiding potentially expensive rbtree walks to locate a vma upon faults.
      The original approach (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/1/410), where the
      largest vma was also cached, ended up being too specific and random,
      thus further comparison with other approaches were needed.  There are
      two things to consider when dealing with this, the cache hit rate and
      the latency of find_vma().  Improving the hit-rate does not necessarily
      translate in finding the vma any faster, as the overhead of any fancy
      caching schemes can be too high to consider.
      
      We currently cache the last used vma for the whole address space, which
      provides a nice optimization, reducing the total cycles in find_vma() by
      up to 250%, for workloads with good locality.  On the other hand, this
      simple scheme is pretty much useless for workloads with poor locality.
      Analyzing ebizzy runs shows that, no matter how many threads are
      running, the mmap_cache hit rate is less than 2%, and in many situations
      below 1%.
      
      The proposed approach is to replace this scheme with a small per-thread
      cache, maximizing hit rates at a very low maintenance cost.
      Invalidations are performed by simply bumping up a 32-bit sequence
      number.  The only expensive operation is in the rare case of a seq
      number overflow, where all caches that share the same address space are
      flushed.  Upon a miss, the proposed replacement policy is based on the
      page number that contains the virtual address in question.  Concretely,
      the following results are seen on an 80 core, 8 socket x86-64 box:
      
      1) System bootup: Most programs are single threaded, so the per-thread
         scheme does improve ~50% hit rate by just adding a few more slots to
         the cache.
      
      +----------------+----------+------------------+
      | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
      +----------------+----------+------------------+
      | baseline       | 50.61%   | 19.90            |
      | patched        | 73.45%   | 13.58            |
      +----------------+----------+------------------+
      
      2) Kernel build: This one is already pretty good with the current
         approach as we're dealing with good locality.
      
      +----------------+----------+------------------+
      | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
      +----------------+----------+------------------+
      | baseline       | 75.28%   | 11.03            |
      | patched        | 88.09%   | 9.31             |
      +----------------+----------+------------------+
      
      3) Oracle 11g Data Mining (4k pages): Similar to the kernel build workload.
      
      +----------------+----------+------------------+
      | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
      +----------------+----------+------------------+
      | baseline       | 70.66%   | 17.14            |
      | patched        | 91.15%   | 12.57            |
      +----------------+----------+------------------+
      
      4) Ebizzy: There's a fair amount of variation from run to run, but this
         approach always shows nearly perfect hit rates, while baseline is just
         about non-existent.  The amounts of cycles can fluctuate between
         anywhere from ~60 to ~116 for the baseline scheme, but this approach
         reduces it considerably.  For instance, with 80 threads:
      
      +----------------+----------+------------------+
      | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
      +----------------+----------+------------------+
      | baseline       | 1.06%    | 91.54            |
      | patched        | 99.97%   | 14.18            |
