      uml: kernels on {i386,x86_64} produce bad coredumps · 13e165ba
      Paul Pluzhnikov 提交于
      One of our users reported that when a user-level program SIGSEGVs under
      UML kernel, the resulting core dump is not very usable.
      
      I have reproduced that with the latest kernel:
      
        make ARCH=um defconfig; make ARCH=um
      
      Run the resulting kernel, then "inside" run this program:
      
      #include <pthread.h>
      
      void *fn(void *p)
      {
       abort();
      }
      
      int main()
      {
       pthread_t tid;
       pthread_create(&tid, 0, fn, 0);
       pthread_join(tid, 0);
       return 0;
      }
      
      Analyze the coredump with GDB. Here is what you'll see:
      
      sudo gdb -q -ex 'set solib-absolute-prefix ../root_fs' -ex 'file ../root_fs/var/tmp/mt-abort' -ex 'core ../root_fs/var/tmp/core.762'

      Examining the core shows that NT_PRSTATUS notes for all threads other than
      the one that crashed are zeroed out.
      
      I believe this is happening because neither ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS nor
      task_pt_regs are defined under ARCH=um, and so elf_core_copy_task_regs()
      becomes a no-op.
      
      Attached patch fixes this for SUBARCH={x86_64,i386}.

      UML: Fix compiler warning due to missing task_struct declaration · 4cb3ca7c
      Jan Kiszka 提交于
      We can't pull in linux/sched.h due to circular dependency, so just
      forward-declare the struct.
      
      This fixes the following warning:
      
        CC      arch/um/sys-i386/elfcore.o
      In file included from /data/linux-2.6/include/linux/elf.h:8,

      arch/um/sys-i386/asm/elf.h:78: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want
      
      I guess not many people build against i386 hosts anymore, so this
      remained widely unnoticed.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      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.

      elf coredump: add extended numbering support · 8d9032bb
      Daisuke HATAYAMA 提交于
      The current ELF dumper implementation can produce broken corefiles if
      program headers exceed 65535.  This number is determined by the number of
      vmas which the process have.  In particular, some extreme programs may use
      more than 65535 vmas.  (If you google max_map_count, you can find some
      users facing this problem.) This kind of program never be able to generate
      correct coredumps.
      
      This patch implements ``extended numbering'' that uses sh_info field of
      the first section header instead of e_phnum field in order to represent
      upto 4294967295 vmas.
      
      This is supported by
      AMD64-ABI(http://www.x86-64.org/documentation.html) and
      Solaris(http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1984/).
      Of course, we are preparing patches for gdb and binutils.

      elf coredump: replace ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* macros by functions · 1fcccbac
      Daisuke HATAYAMA 提交于
      elf_core_dump() and elf_fdpic_core_dump() use #ifdef and the corresponding
      macro for hiding _multiline_ logics in functions.  This patch removes
      #ifdef and replaces ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* by corresponding functions.  For
      architectures not implemeonting ELF_CORE_EXTRA_*, we use weak functions in
      order to reduce a range of modification.
      
      This cleanup is for my next patches, but I think this cleanup itself is
      worth doing regardless of my firnal purpose.
