      recordmcount/MIPS: Fix possible incorrect mcount_loc table entries in modules · 91ad11d7
      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
      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).
