      sysfs: Implement sysfs tagged directory support. · 3ff195b0
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      The problem.  When implementing a network namespace I need to be able
      to have multiple network devices with the same name.  Currently this
      is a problem for /sys/class/net/*, /sys/devices/virtual/net/*, and
      potentially a few other directories of the form /sys/ ... /net/*.
      
      What this patch does is to add an additional tag field to the
      sysfs dirent structure.  For directories that should show different
      contents depending on the context such as /sys/class/net/, and
      /sys/devices/virtual/net/ this tag field is used to specify the
      context in which those directories should be visible.  Effectively
      this is the same as creating multiple distinct directories with
      the same name but internally to sysfs the result is nicer.
      
      I am calling the concept of a single directory that looks like multiple
      directories all at the same path in the filesystem tagged directories.
      
      For the networking namespace the set of directories whose contents I need
      to filter with tags can depend on the presence or absence of hotplug
      hardware or which modules are currently loaded.  Which means I need
      a simple race free way to setup those directories as tagged.
      
      To achieve a reace free design all tagged directories are created
      and managed by sysfs itself.
      
      Users of this interface:
      - define a type in the sysfs_tag_type enumeration.
      - call sysfs_register_ns_types with the type and it's operations
      - sysfs_exit_ns when an individual tag is no longer valid
      
      - Implement mount_ns() which returns the ns of the calling process
        so we can attach it to a sysfs superblock.
      - Implement ktype.namespace() which returns the ns of a syfs kobject.
      
      Everything else is left up to sysfs and the driver layer.
      
      For the network namespace mount_ns and namespace() are essentially
      one line functions, and look to remain that.
      
      Tags are currently represented a const void * pointers as that is
      both generic, prevides enough information for equality comparisons,
      and is trivial to create for current users, as it is just the
      existing namespace pointer.
      
      The work needed in sysfs is more extensive.  At each directory
      or symlink creating I need to check if the directory it is being
      created in is a tagged directory and if so generate the appropriate
      tag to place on the sysfs_dirent.  Likewise at each symlink or
      directory removal I need to check if the sysfs directory it is
      being removed from is a tagged directory and if so figure out
      which tag goes along with the name I am deleting.
      
      Currently only directories which hold kobjects, and
      symlinks are supported.  There is not enough information
      in the current file attribute interfaces to give us anything
      to discriminate on which makes it useless, and there are
      no potential users which makes it an uninteresting problem
      to solve.

      kref: remove kref_set · db1afffa
      NeilBrown 提交于
      Of the three uses of kref_set in the kernel:
      
       One really should be kref_put as the code is letting go of a
          reference,
       Two really should be kref_init because the kref is being
          initialised.
      
      This suggests that making kref_set available encourages bad code.
      So fix the three uses and remove kref_set completely.

      mips,kgdb: kdb low level trap catch and stack trace · 5dd11d5d
      Jason Wessel 提交于
      The only way the debugger can handle a trap in inside rcu_lock,
      notify_die, or atomic_notifier_call_chain without a recursive fault is
      to have a low level "first opportunity handler" do_trap_or_bp() handler.
      
      Generally this will be something the vast majority of folks will not
      need, but for those who need it, it is added as a kernel .config
      option called KGDB_LOW_LEVEL_TRAP.
      
      Also added was a die notification for oops such that kdb can catch an
      oops for analysis.
      
      There appeared to be no obvious way to pass the struct pt_regs from
      the original exception back to the stack back tracer, so a special
      case was added to show_stack() for when kdb is active because you
      generally desire to generally look at the back trace of the original
      exception.

      kgdboc,keyboard: Keyboard driver for kdb with kgdb · ada64e4c
      Jason Wessel 提交于
      This patch adds in the kdb PS/2 keyboard driver.  This was mostly a
      direct port from the original kdb where I cleaned up the code against
      checkpatch.pl and added the glue to stitch it into kgdb.
      
      This patch also enables early kdb debug via kgdbwait and the keyboard.
      
      All the access to configure kdb using either a serial console or the
      keyboard is done via kgdboc.
      
      If you want to use only the keyboard and want to break in early you
      would add to your kernel command arguments:
      
          kgdboc=kbd kgdbwait
      
      If you wanted serial and or the keyboard access you could use:
      
          kgdboc=kbd,ttyS0
      
      You can also configure kgdboc as a kernel module or at run time with
      the sysfs where you can activate and deactivate kgdb.
      
      Turn it on:
          echo kbd,ttyS0 > /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc
      
      Turn it off:
          echo "" > /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc

      kgdb: core changes to support kdb · dcc78711
      Jason Wessel 提交于
      These are the minimum changes to the kgdb core in order to enable an
      API to connect a new front end (kdb) to the debug core.
      
      This patch introduces the dbg_kdb_mode variable controls where the
      user level I/O is routed.  It will be routed to the gdbstub (kgdb) or
      to the kdb front end which is a simple shell available over the kgdboc
      connection.
      
      You can switch back and forth between kdb or the gdb stub mode of
      operation dynamically.  From gdb stub mode you can blindly type
      "$3#33", or from the kdb mode you can enter "kgdb" to switch to the
      gdb stub.
      
      The logic in the debug core depends on kdb to look for the typical gdb
      connection sequences and return immediately with KGDB_PASS_EVENT if a
      gdb serial command sequence is detected.  That should allow a
      reasonably seamless transition between kdb -> gdb without leaving the
      kernel exception state.  The two gdb serial queries that kdb is
      responsible for detecting are the "?" and "qSupported" packets.

      Debugobjects transition check · a5d8e467
      Mathieu Desnoyers 提交于
      Implement a basic state machine checker in the debugobjects.
      
      This state machine checker detects races and inconsistencies within the "active"
      life of a debugobject. The checker only keeps track of the current state; all
      the state machine logic is kept at the object instance level.
      
      The checker works by adding a supplementary "unsigned int astate" field to the
      debug_obj structure. It keeps track of the current "active state" of the object.
      
      The only constraints that are imposed on the states by the debugobjects system
      is that:
      
      - activation of an object sets the current active state to 0,
      - deactivation of an object expects the current active state to be 0.
      
      For the rest of the states, the state mapping is determined by the specific
      object instance. Therefore, the logic keeping track of the state machine is
      within the specialized instance, without any need to know about it at the
      debugobject level.
      
      The current object active state is changed by calling:
      
      debug_object_active_state(addr, descr, expect, next)
      
      where "expect" is the expected state and "next" is the next state to move to if
      the expected state is found. A warning is generated if the expected is not
      found.

      rcu: optionally leave lockdep enabled after RCU lockdep splat · 2b3fc35f
      Lai Jiangshan 提交于
      There is no need to disable lockdep after an RCU lockdep splat,
      so remove the debug_lockdeps_off() from lockdep_rcu_dereference().
      To avoid repeated lockdep splats, use a static variable in the inlined
      rcu_dereference_check() and rcu_dereference_protected() macros so that
      a given instance splats only once, but so that multiple instances can
      be detected per boot.
      
      This is controlled by a new config variable CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY,
      which is disabled by default.  This provides the normal lockdep behavior
      by default, but permits people who want to find multiple RCU-lockdep
      splats per boot to easily do so.

      radix_tree_tag_get() is not as safe as the docs make out [ver #2] · ce82653d
      David Howells 提交于
      radix_tree_tag_get() is not safe to use concurrently with radix_tree_tag_set()
      or radix_tree_tag_clear().  The problem is that the double tag_get() in
      radix_tree_tag_get():
      
      		if (!tag_get(node, tag, offset))
      			saw_unset_tag = 1;
      		if (height == 1) {
      			int ret = tag_get(node, tag, offset);
      
      may see the value change due to the action of set/clear.  RCU is no protection
      against this as no pointers are being changed, no nodes are being replaced
      according to a COW protocol - set/clear alter the node directly.
      
      The documentation in linux/radix-tree.h, however, says that
      radix_tree_tag_get() is an exception to the rule that "any function modifying
      the tree or tags (...) must exclude other modifications, and exclude any
      functions reading the tree".
      
      The problem is that the next statement in radix_tree_tag_get() checks that the
      tag doesn't vary over time:
      
      			BUG_ON(ret && saw_unset_tag);
      
      This has been seen happening in FS-Cache:
      
      	https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-cachefs/2010-April/msg00013.html
      
      To this end, remove the BUG_ON() from radix_tree_tag_get() and note in various
      comments that the value of the tag may change whilst the RCU read lock is held,
      and thus that the return value of radix_tree_tag_get() may not be relied upon
      unless radix_tree_tag_set/clear() and radix_tree_delete() are excluded from
      running concurrently with it.

      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

         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.

      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.

      debugobjects: Section mismatch cleanup · 1fb2f77c
      Henrik Kretzschmar 提交于
      This patch marks two functions, which only get called at
      initialization, as __init.
      
      Here is also interesting, that modpost doesn't catch here the right
      function name.
      
      WARNING: lib/built-in.o(.text+0x585f): Section mismatch in reference
      from the function T.506() to the variable .init.data:obj
      The function T.506() references the variable __initdata obj.
      This is often because T.506 lacks a __initdata annotation or the 
      annotation of obj is wrong.
