      Revert "endian: #define __BYTE_ORDER" · 13da9e20
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This reverts commit b3b77c8c, which was
      also totally broken (see commit 0d2daf5c that reverted the crc32
      version of it).  As reported by Stephen Rothwell, it causes problems on
      big-endian machines:
      
      > In file included from fs/jfs/jfs_types.h:33,
      >                  from fs/jfs/jfs_incore.h:26,

      > fs/jfs/endian24.h:36:101: warning: "__LITTLE_ENDIAN" is not defined
      
      The kernel has never had that crazy "__BYTE_ORDER == __LITTLE_ENDIAN"
      model.  It's not how we do things, and it isn't how we _should_ do
      things.  So don't go there.

      driver core: add devname module aliases to allow module on-demand auto-loading · 578454ff
      Kay Sievers 提交于
      This adds:
        alias: devname:<name>
      to some common kernel modules, which will allow the on-demand loading
      of the kernel module when the device node is accessed.
      
      Ideally all these modules would be compiled-in, but distros seems too
      much in love with their modularization that we need to cover the common
      cases with this new facility. It will allow us to remove a bunch of pretty
      useless init scripts and modprobes from init scripts.
      
      The static device node aliases will be carried in the module itself. The
      program depmod will extract this information to a file in the module directory:
        $ cat /lib/modules/2.6.34-00650-g537b60d1-dirty/modules.devname
        # Device nodes to trigger on-demand module loading.
        microcode cpu/microcode c10:184
        fuse fuse c10:229
        ppp_generic ppp c108:0
        tun net/tun c10:200
        dm_mod mapper/control c10:235
      
      Udev will pick up the depmod created file on startup and create all the
      static device nodes which the kernel modules specify, so that these modules
      get automatically loaded when the device node is accessed:
        $ /sbin/udevd --debug
        ...
        static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/cpu/microcode' c10:184
        static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/fuse' c10:229
        static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/ppp' c108:0
        static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/net/tun' c10:200
        static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/mapper/control' c10:235
        udev_rules_apply_static_dev_perms: chmod '/dev/net/tun' 0666
        udev_rules_apply_static_dev_perms: chmod '/dev/fuse' 0666
      
      A few device nodes are switched to statically allocated numbers, to allow
      the static nodes to work. This might also useful for systems which still run
      a plain static /dev, which is completely unsafe to use with any dynamic minor
      numbers.
      
      Note:
      The devname aliases must be limited to the *common* and *single*instance*
      device nodes, like the misc devices, and never be used for conceptually limited
      systems like the loop devices, which should rather get fixed properly and get a
      control node for losetup to talk to, instead of creating a random number of
      device nodes in advance, regardless if they are ever used.
      
      This facility is to hide the mess distros are creating with too modualized
      kernels, and just to hide that these modules are not compiled-in, and not to
      paper-over broken concepts. Thanks! :)

      If the kernel debugger was configured, attached and started with

      x86,kgdb: Implement early hardware breakpoint debugging · 031acd8c
      Jason Wessel 提交于
      It is not possible to use the hw_breakpoint.c API prior to mm_init(),
      but it is possible to use hardware breakpoints with the kernel
      debugger.
      
      Prior to smp_init() it is possible to simply write to the dr registers
      of the boot cpu directly.  This can be used up until the
      kgdb_arch_late() is invoked, at which point the standard hw_breakpoint.c
      API will get used.

      x86, kgdb, init: Add early and late debug states · 0b4b3827
      Jason Wessel 提交于
      The kernel debugger can operate well before mm_init(), but the x86
      hardware breakpoint code which uses the perf api requires that the
      kernel allocators are initialized.
      
      This means the kernel debug core needs to provide an optional arch
      specific call back to allow the initialization functions to run after
      the kernel has been further initialized.
      
      The kdb shell already had a similar restriction with an early
      initialization and late initialization.  The kdb_init() was moved into
      the debug core's version of the late init which is called
      dbg_late_init();

      x86,kgdb: Add low level debug hook · f503b5ae
      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 triple fault is
      to have a low level "first opportunity handler" in the int3 exception
      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.

      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.
