      recordmcount/MIPS: Fix possible incorrect mcount_loc table entries in modules · 91ad11d7
      由 Alex Smith 提交于 
      On MIPS calls to _mcount in modules generate 2 instructions to load
the _mcount address (and therefore 2 relocations). The mcount_loc
table should only reference the first of these, so the second is
filtered out by checking the relocation offset and ignoring ones that
immediately follow the previous one seen.

However if a module has an _mcount call at offset 0, the second
relocation would not be filtered out due to old_r_offset == 0
being taken to mean that the current relocation is the first one
seen, and both would end up in the mcount_loc table.

This results in ftrace_make_nop() patching both (adjacent)
instructions to branches over the _mcount call sequence like so:

  0xffffffffc08a8000:  04 00 00 10     b       0xffffffffc08a8014
  0xffffffffc08a8004:  04 00 00 10     b       0xffffffffc08a8018
  0xffffffffc08a8008:  2d 08 e0 03     move    at,ra
  ...

The second branch is in the delay slot of the first, which is
defined to be unpredictable - on the platform on which this bug was
encountered, it triggers a reserved instruction exception.

Fix by initializing old_r_offset to ~0 and using that instead of 0
to determine whether the current relocation is the first seen.

      decode_stacktrace: make stack dump output useful again · dbd1abb2
      由 Sasha Levin 提交于 
      Right now when people try to report issues in the kernel they send stack
dumps to eachother, which looks something like this:

  [    6.906437]  [<ffffffff811f0e90>] ? backtrace_test_irq_callback+0x20/0x20
  [    6.907121]  [<ffffffff84388ce8>] dump_stack+0x52/0x7f
  [    6.907640]  [<ffffffff811f0ec8>] backtrace_regression_test+0x38/0x110
  [    6.908281]  [<ffffffff813596a0>] ? proc_create_data+0xa0/0xd0
  [    6.908870]  [<ffffffff870a8040>] ? proc_modules_init+0x22/0x22
  [    6.909480]  [<ffffffff810020c2>] do_one_initcall+0xc2/0x1e0
  [...]

However, most of the text you get is pure garbage.

The only useful thing above is the function name.  Due to the amount of
different kernel code versions and various configurations being used,
the kernel address and the offset into the function are not really
helpful in determining where the problem actually occured.

Too often the result of someone looking at a stack dump is asking the
person who sent it for a translation for one or more 'addr2line'
translations.  Which slows down the entire process of debugging the
issue (and really annoying).

The decode_stacktrace script is an attempt to make the output more
useful and easy to work with by translating all kernel addresses in the
stack dump into line numbers.  Which means that the stack dump would
look like this:

  [  635.148361]  dump_stack (lib/dump_stack.c:52)
  [  635.149127]  warn_slowpath_common (kernel/panic.c:418)
  [  635.150214]  warn_slowpath_null (kernel/panic.c:453)
  [  635.151031]  _oalloc_pages_slowpath+0x6a/0x7d0
  [  635.152171]  ? zone_watermark_ok (mm/page_alloc.c:1728)
  [  635.152988]  ? get_page_from_freelist (mm/page_alloc.c:1939)
  [  635.154766]  __alloc_pages_nodemask (mm/page_alloc.c:2766)

It's pretty obvious why this is better than the previous stack dump
before.

Usage is pretty simple:

        ./decode_stacktrace.sh [vmlinux] [base path]

Where vmlinux is the vmlinux to extract line numbers from and base path
is the path that points to the root of the build tree, for example:

        ./decode_stacktrace.sh vmlinux /home/sasha/linux/ < input.log > output.log

The stack trace should be piped through it (I, for example, just pipe
the output of the serial console of my KVM test box through it).
