Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in v2.6.32, but we still have the old and disabled ptrace-BTS, as Linus noticed it not so long ago. It's buggy: TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is trampling all over that MSR without regard for other uses (perf) and doesn't provide the flexibility needed for perf either. Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts was never used and ptrace-block-step can be implemented using a much simpler approach. So axe all 3000 lines of it. That includes the *locked_memory*() APIs in mm/mlock.c as well.

The branch profiling creates very complex code for each if statement, to the point that gcc has trouble even analyzing something as simple as if (count > 5) count = 5; This then means that causing an error on code that gcc cannot analyze for copy_from_user() and co is not very productive. This patch excludes the strict copy checks in the case of branch profiling being enabled.

IOMMU_LEAK, GART's own feature, dumps the used IOMMU entries when IOMMU entries is full, which might be useful to find a bad driver that eats IOMMU entries. DMA_API_DEBUG provides the similar feature, debug_dma_dump_mappings, and it's better than GART's IOMMU_LEAK feature. GART's IOMMU_LEAK feature doesn't say who uses IOMMU entries so it's hard to find a bad driver. This patch reimplements the GART's IOMMU_LEAK feature by using DMA_API_DEBUG.

CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is now supported by x86, powerpc, sparc64, and s390. This patch implements it for the rest of the architectures by filling the pages with poison byte patterns after free_pages() and verifying the poison patterns before alloc_pages(). This generic one cannot detect invalid page accesses immediately but invalid read access may cause invalid dereference by poisoned memory and invalid write access can be detected after a long delay.

CONFIG_MMIOTRACE and CONFIG_MMIOTRACE_TEST were selectable directly under the Kernel hacking / debugging menu in the kernel configuration system. They were present only for x86 and x86_64. Other tracers that use the ftrace tracing framework are in their own sub-menu. This patch moves the mmiotrace configuration options there. Since the Kconfig file, where the tracer menu is, is not architecture specific, HAVE_MMIOTRACE_SUPPORT is introduced and provided only by x86/x86_64. CONFIG_MMIOTRACE now depends on it.

The x86/Voyager subarch used to have this distinction between 'x86 SMP support' and 'Voyager SMP support': config X86_SMP bool depends on SMP && ((X86_32 && !X86_VOYAGER) || X86_64) This is a pointless distinction - Voyager can (and already does) use smp_ops to implement various SMP quirks it has - and it can be extended more to cover all the specialities of Voyager.

* Introduce a new PER_CPU macro called "EARLY_PER_CPU". This is used by some per_cpu variables that are initialized and accessed before there are per_cpu areas allocated. ["Early" in respect to per_cpu variables is "earlier than the per_cpu areas have been setup".] This patchset adds these new macros: DEFINE_EARLY_PER_CPU(_type, _name, _initvalue) EXPORT_EARLY_PER_CPU_SYMBOL(_name) DECLARE_EARLY_PER_CPU(_type, _name) early_per_cpu_ptr(_name) early_per_cpu_map(_name, _idx) early_per_cpu(_name, _cpu) The DEFINE macro defines the per_cpu variable as well as the early map and pointer. It also initializes the per_cpu variable and map elements to "_initvalue". The early_* macros provide access to the initial map (usually setup during system init) and the early pointer. This pointer is initialized to point to the early map but is then NULL'ed when the actual per_cpu areas are setup. After that the per_cpu variable is the correct access to the variable. The early_per_cpu() macro is not very efficient but does show how to access the variable if you have a function that can be called both "early" and "late". It tests the early ptr to be NULL, and if not then it's still valid. Otherwise, the per_cpu variable is used instead: #define early_per_cpu(_name, _cpu) \ (early_per_cpu_ptr(_name) ? \ early_per_cpu_ptr(_name)[_cpu] : \ per_cpu(_name, _cpu)) A better method is to actually check the pointer manually. In the case below, numa_set_node can be called both "early" and "late": void __cpuinit numa_set_node(int cpu, int node) { int *cpu_to_node_map = early_per_cpu_ptr(x86_cpu_to_node_map); if (cpu_to_node_map) cpu_to_node_map[cpu] = node; else per_cpu(x86_cpu_to_node_map, cpu) = node; } * Add a flag "arch_provides_topology_pointers" that indicates pointers to topology cpumask_t maps are available. Otherwise, use the function returning the cpumask_t value. This is useful if cpumask_t set size is very large to avoid copying data on to/off of the stack. * The coverage of CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS has been increased while the non-debug case has been optimized a bit. * Remove an unreferenced compiler warning in drivers/base/topology.c * Clean up #ifdef in setup.c For inclusion into sched-devel/latest tree.

here is a patch that makes mmiotrace work almost well within the tracing framework. The patch applies on top of my previous patch. I have my own output formatting in place now. Summary of changes: - fix the NULL dereference that was due to not calling tracing_reset() - add print_line() callback into struct tracer - implement print_line() for mmiotrace, producing up-to-spec text - add my output header, but that is not really called in the right place - rewrote the main structs in mmiotrace - added two new trace entry types: TRACE_MMIO_RW and TRACE_MMIO_MAP - made some functions in trace.c non-static - check current==NULL in tracing_generic_entry_update() - fix(?) comparison in trace_seq_printf() Things seem to work fine except a few issues. Markers (text lines injected into mmiotrace log) are missing, I did not feel hacking them in before we have variable length entries. My output header is printed only for 'trace' file, but not 'trace_pipe'. For some reason, despite my quick fix, iter->trace is NULL in print_trace_line() when called from 'trace_pipe' file, which means I don't get proper output formatting. I only tried by loading nouveau.ko, which just detects the card, and that is traced fine. I didn't try further. Map, two reads and unmap. Works perfectly. I am missing the information about overflows, I'd prefer to have a counter for lost events. I didn't try, but I guess currently there is no way of knowning when it overflows? So, not too far from being fully operational, it seems :-) And looking at the diffstat, there also is some 700-900 lines of user space code that just became obsolete.

Mmiotrace is a tool for trapping memory mapped IO (MMIO) accesses within the kernel. It is used for debugging and especially for reverse engineering evil binary drivers. Mmiotrace works by wrapping the ioremap family of kernel functions and marking the returned pages as not present. Access to the IO memory triggers a page fault, which will be handled by mmiotrace's custom page fault handler. This will single-step the faulted instruction with the MMIO page marked as present. Access logs are directed to user space via relay and debug_fs. This page fault approach is necessary, because binary drivers have readl/writel etc. calls inlined and therefore extremely difficult to trap with with e.g. kprobes. This patch depends on the custom page fault handlers patch. Signed-off-by: NPekka Paalanen <pq@iki.fi> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
