      context_tracking: New context tracking susbsystem · 91d1aa43
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Create a new subsystem that probes on kernel boundaries
      to keep track of the transitions between level contexts
      with two basic initial contexts: user or kernel.
      
      This is an abstraction of some RCU code that use such tracking
      to implement its userspace extended quiescent state.
      
      We need to pull this up from RCU into this new level of indirection
      because this tracking is also going to be used to implement an "on
      demand" generic virtual cputime accounting. A necessary step to
      shutdown the tick while still accounting the cputime.

      Make most arch asm/module.h files use asm-generic/module.h · 786d35d4
      David Howells 提交于
      Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela,
      ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version
      into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS.
      
      Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible.
      
      To this end, I've defined three new config bools:
      
       (*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC
      
           Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic
           mod_arch_specific struct.
      
       (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA
      
           Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records.  This causes
           the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be
           defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.
      
       (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL
      
           Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records.  This causes
           the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be
           defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.
      
      Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are
      two arches that do this.
      
      With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced
      with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file.
      
      Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the
      unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.

      x86: Exit RCU extended QS on notify resume · edf55fda
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      do_notify_resume() may be called on irq or exception
      exit. But at that time the exception has already called
      rcu_user_enter() and the irq has already called rcu_irq_exit().
      
      Since it can use RCU read side critical section, we must call
      rcu_user_exit() before doing anything there. Then we must call
      back rcu_user_enter() after this function because we know we are
      going to userspace from there.
      
      This complete support for userspace RCU extended quiescent state
      in x86-64.

      cputime: Make finegrained irqtime accounting generally available · fdf9c356
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      There is no known reason for this option to be unavailable on other
      archs than x86. They just need to call enable_sched_clock_irqtime()
      if they have a sufficiently finegrained clock to make it working.
      
      Move it to the general option and let the user choose between
      it and pure tick based or virtual cputime accounting.
      
      Note that virtual cputime accounting already performs a finegrained
      irqtime accounting. CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING is a kind of middle ground
      between tick and virtual based accounting. So CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING
      and CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING are mutually exclusive choices.

      perf: Add ability to attach user stack dump to sample · c5ebcedb
      Jiri Olsa 提交于
      Introducing PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER sample type bit to trigger the dump
      of the user level stack on sample. The size of the dump is specified by
      sample_stack_user value.
      
      Being able to dump parts of the user stack, starting from the stack
      pointer, will be useful to make a post mortem dwarf CFI based stack
      unwinding.
      
      Added HAVE_PERF_USER_STACK_DUMP config option to determine if the
      architecture provides user stack dump on perf event samples.  This needs
      access to the user stack pointer which is not unified across
      architectures. Enabling this for x86 architecture.

      The information about desired registers will be passed in u64 mask.
      It's up to the architecture to map the registers into the mask bits.
      
      For the x86 arch implementation, both 32 and 64 bit registers bits are

      x86: use generic strncpy_from_user routine · 4ae73f2d
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      The generic strncpy_from_user() is not really optimal, since it is
      designed to work on both little-endian and big-endian.  And on
      little-endian you can simplify much of the logic to find the first zero
      byte, since little-endian arithmetic doesn't have to worry about the
      carry bit propagating into earlier bytes (only later bytes, which we
      don't care about).
      
      But I have patches to make the generic routines use the architecture-
      specific <asm/word-at-a-time.h> infrastructure, so that we can regain
      the little-endian optimizations.  But before we do that, switch over to
      the generic routines to make the patches each do just one well-defined
      thing.

      MCA: delete all remaining traces of microchannel bus support. · bb8187d3
      Paul Gortmaker 提交于
      Hardware with MCA bus is limited to 386 and 486 class machines
      that are now 20+ years old and typically with less than 32MB
      of memory.  A quick search on the internet, and you see that
      even the MCA hobbyist/enthusiast community has lost interest
      in the early 2000 era and never really even moved ahead from
      the 2.4 kernels to the 2.6 series.
      
      This deletes anything remaining related to CONFIG_MCA from core
      kernel code and from the x86 architecture.  There is no point in
      carrying this any further into the future.
      
      One complication to watch for is inadvertently scooping up
      stuff relating to machine check, since there is overlap in
      the TLA name space (e.g. arch/x86/boot/mca.c).

      vfs: make word-at-a-time accesses handle a non-existing page · e419b4cc
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      It turns out that there are more cases than CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC that
      can have holes in the kernel address space: it seems to happen easily
      with Xen, and it looks like the AMD gart64 code will also punch holes
      dynamically.
      
      Actually hitting that case is still very unlikely, so just do the
      access, and take an exception and fix it up for the very unlikely case
      of it being a page-crosser with no next page.
      
      And hey, this abstraction might even help other architectures that have
      other issues with unaligned word accesses than the possible missing next
      page.  IOW, this could do the byte order magic too.
      
      Peter Anvin fixed a thinko in the shifting for the exception case.

      ftrace/x86: Remove the complex ftrace NMI handling code · 4a6d70c9
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      As ftrace function tracing would require modifying code that could
      be executed in NMI context, which is not stopped with stop_machine(),
      ftrace had to do a complex algorithm with various stages of setup
      and memory barriers to make it work.
      
      With the new breakpoint method, this is no longer required. The changes
      to the code can be done without any problem in NMI context, as well as
      without stop machine altogether. Remove the complex code as it is
      no longer needed.
      
      Also, a lot of the notrace annotations could be removed from the
      NMI code as it is now safe to trace them. With the exception of
      do_nmi itself, which does some special work to handle running in
      the debug stack. The breakpoint method can cause NMIs to double
      nest the debug stack if it's not setup properly, and that is done
      in do_nmi(), thus that function must not be traced.
