      alpha: get_current(): don't add zero to current_thread_info()->task · 06f11f37
      Andrew Morton 提交于
      A nasty compile error:
      
      In file included from security/keys/internal.h:16,
                       from security/keys/sysctl.c:14:
      include/linux/key-ui.h: In function 'key_permission':
      include/linux/key-ui.h:51: error: invalid use of undefined type 'struct task_struct'
      
      apparently the compiler has decided that it needs to know sizeof(task_struct)
      so that it can add zero to a task_struct* (which is rather dumb of it).
      
      Getting task_struct in scope in these deeply-nested headers is scary-looking,
      so let's just remove the "+ 0".

      markers: use synchronize_sched() · 6496968e
      Mathieu Desnoyers 提交于
      Markers do not mix well with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU because it uses
      preempt_disable/enable() and not rcu_read_lock/unlock for minimal
      intrusiveness.  We would need call_sched and sched_barrier primitives.
      
      Currently, the modification (connection and disconnection) of probes
      from markers requires changes to the data structure done in RCU-style :
      a new data structure is created, the pointer is changed atomically, a
      quiescent state is reached and then the old data structure is freed.
      
      The quiescent state is reached once all the currently running
      preempt_disable regions are done running.  We use the call_rcu mechanism
      to execute kfree() after such quiescent state has been reached.
      However, the new CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU version of call_rcu and rcu_barrier
      does not guarantee that all preempt_disable code regions have finished,
      hence the race.
      
      The "proper" way to do this is to use rcu_read_lock/unlock, but we don't
      want to use it to minimize intrusiveness on the traced system.  (we do
      not want the marker code to call into much of the OS code, because it
      would quickly restrict what can and cannot be instrumented, such as the
      scheduler).
      
      The temporary fix, until we get call_rcu_sched and rcu_barrier_sched in
      mainline, is to use synchronize_sched before each call_rcu calls, so we
      wait for the quiescent state in the system call code path.  It will slow
      down batch marker enable/disable, but will make sure the race is gone.

      vmcoreinfo: add the symbol "phys_base" · 629c8b4c
      Ken'ichi Ohmichi 提交于
      Fix the problem that makedumpfile sometimes fails on x86_64 machine.
      
      This patch adds the symbol "phys_base" to a vmcoreinfo data.  The
      vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump
      filtering.  makedumpfile (dump filtering command) gets it to distinguish
      unnecessary pages, and makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile.
      
      On x86_64 kernel which compiled with CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x0 and
      CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, makedumpfile fails like the following:
      
       # makedumpfile -d31 /proc/vmcore dumpfile
       The kernel version is not supported.
       The created dumpfile may be incomplete.
       _exclude_free_page: Can't get next online node.
      
       makedumpfile Failed.
       #
      
      The cause is the lack of the symbol "phys_base" in a vmcoreinfo data.
      If the symbol "phys_base" does not exist, makedumpfile considers an
      x86_64 kernel as non relocatable.  As the result, makedumpfile
      misunderstands the physical address where the kernel is loaded, and it
      cannot translate a kernel virtual address to physical address correctly.
      
      To fix this problem, this patch adds the symbol "phys_base" to a
      vmcoreinfo data.
