      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      ARM: 6005/1: arm: kprobes: fix register corruption with jprobes · 782a0fd1
      Mika Westerberg 提交于
      Current implementation of jprobes allocates empty pt_regs from the
      stack which is then passed to kprobe_handler() and eventually to
      singlestep().  Now when instruction being simulated is STMFD (like
      in normal function prologues without CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER), stores
      using SP actually write over top of the fabricated pt_regs
      structure.
      
      This can be reproduced for example by using LKDTM module:
          # modprobe lkdtm
          # mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
          # echo PANIC > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/INT_HW_IRQ_EN
      
      after this, it fails with corrupted registers (before the requested crash would occur):
      
      lkdtm: Crash point INT_HW_IRQ_EN of type PANIC hit, trigger in 9 rounds
      lkdtm: Crash point INT_HW_IRQ_EN of type PANIC hit, trigger in 8 rounds

      This patch allocates enough space (2 * sizeof(struct pt_regs)) from

      ARM: 5715/1: Make kprobes unregistration SMP safe · 2003b7af
      Frederic Riss 提交于
      ARM kprobes use an illegal instruction to trigger kprobes. In the
      current implementation, there's a race between the unregistration of a
      kprobe and the illegal instruction exception handler if they run at the
      same time on different cores.
      
      When reading the value of the undefined instruction, the exception
      handler might get the original legal instruction as just patched
      concurrently by arch_disarm_kprobe(). When this happen the kprobe
      handler won't run, and thus the exception handler will oops because it
      believe it just hit an undefined instruction in kernel space.
      
      The following patch synchronizes the code patching in the kprobes
      unregistration using stop_machine and thus avoids the above race.

      kprobes: improve kretprobe scalability with hashed locking · ef53d9c5
      Srinivasa D S 提交于
      Currently list of kretprobe instances are stored in kretprobe object (as
      used_instances,free_instances) and in kretprobe hash table.  We have one
      global kretprobe lock to serialise the access to these lists.  This causes
      only one kretprobe handler to execute at a time.  Hence affects system
      performance, particularly on SMP systems and when return probe is set on
      lot of functions (like on all systemcalls).
      
      Solution proposed here gives fine-grain locks that performs better on SMP
      system compared to present kretprobe implementation.
      
      Solution:
      
       1) Instead of having one global lock to protect kretprobe instances
          present in kretprobe object and kretprobe hash table.  We will have
          two locks, one lock for protecting kretprobe hash table and another
          lock for kretporbe object.
      
       2) We hold lock present in kretprobe object while we modify kretprobe
          instance in kretprobe object and we hold per-hash-list lock while
          modifying kretprobe instances present in that hash list.  To prevent
          deadlock, we never grab a per-hash-list lock while holding a kretprobe
          lock.
      
       3) We can remove used_instances from struct kretprobe, as we can
          track used instances of kretprobe instances using kretprobe hash
          table.
      
      Time duration for kernel compilation ("make -j 8") on a 8-way ppc64 system
      with return probes set on all systemcalls looks like this.
