Here is a quick and naive smoke test for kprobes. This is intended to just verify if some unrelated change broke the *probes subsystem. It is self contained, architecture agnostic and isn't of any great use by itself. This needs to be built in the kernel and runs a basic set of tests to verify if kprobes, jprobes and kretprobes run fine on the kernel. In case of an error, it'll print out a message with a "BUG" prefix. This is a start; we intend to add more tests to this bucket over time. Thanks to Jim Keniston and Masami Hiramatsu for comments and suggestions. Tested on x86 (32/64) and powerpc.

Unlike oopses, WARN_ON() currently does't print the loaded modules list. This makes it harder to take action on certain bug reports. For example, recently there were a set of WARN_ON()s reported in the mac80211 stack, which were just signalling a driver bug. It takes then anther round trip to the bug reporter (if he responds at all) to find out which driver is at fault. Another issue is that, unlike oopses, WARN_ON() doesn't currently printk the helpful "cut here" line, nor the "end of trace" marker. Now that WARN_ON() is out of line, the size increase due to this is minimal and it's worth adding.

A quick grep shows that there are currently 1145 instances of WARN_ON in the kernel. Currently, WARN_ON is pretty much entirely inlined, which makes it hard to enhance it without growing the size of the kernel (and getting Andrew unhappy). This patch build on top of Olof's patch that introduces __WARN, and places the slowpath out of line. It also uses Ingo's suggestion to not use __FUNCTION__ but to use kallsyms to do the lookup; this saves a ton of extra space since gcc doesn't need to store the function string twice now: 3936367 833603 624736 5394706 525112 vmlinux.before 3917508 833603 624736 5375847 520767 vmlinux-slowpath 15Kb savings...

The break_lock data structure and code for spinlocks is quite nasty. Not only does it double the size of a spinlock but it changes locking to a potentially less optimal trylock. Put all of that under CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, and introduce a __raw_spin_is_contended that uses the lock data itself to determine whether there are waiters on the lock, to be used if CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK is not set. Rename need_lockbreak to spin_needbreak, make it use spin_is_contended to decouple it from the spinlock implementation, and make it typesafe (rwlocks do not have any need_lockbreak sites -- why do they even get bloated up with that break_lock then?).

We have a lot of code which differs only by the naming of specific members of structures that contain registers. In order to enable additional unifications, this patch drops the e- or r- size prefix from the register names in struct pt_regs, and drops the x- prefixes for segment registers on the 32-bit side.

Current idle time in kstat is based on jiffies and is coarse grained. tick_sched.idle_sleeptime is making some attempt to keep track of idle time in a fine grained manner. But, it is not handling the time spent in interrupts fully. Make tick_sched.idle_sleeptime accurate with respect to time spent on handling interrupts and also add tick_sched.idle_lastupdate, which keeps track of last time when idle_sleeptime was updated. This statistics will be crucial for cpufreq-ondemand governor, which can shed some conservative gaurd band that is uses today while setting the frequency. The ondemand changes that uses the exact idle time is coming soon.

I recently noticed on one of my boxes that when synched with an NTP server, the drift value reported for the system was ~283ppm. While in some cases, clock hardware can be that bad, it struck me as unusual as the system was using the acpi_pm clocksource, which is one of the more trustworthy and accurate clocksources on x86 hardware. I brought up another system and let it sync to the same NTP server, and I noticed a similar 280some ppm drift. In looking at the code, I found that the acpi_pm's constant frequency was being computed correctly at boot-up, however once the system was up, even without the ntp daemon running, the clocksource's frequency was being modified by the clocksource_adjust() function. Digging deeper, I realized that in the code that keeps track of how much the clocksource is skewing from the ntp desired time, we were using different lengths to establish how long an time interval was. The clocksource was being setup with the following interval: NTP_INTERVAL_LENGTH = NSEC_PER_SEC/NTP_INTERVAL_FREQ While the ntp code was using the tick_length_base value: tick_length_base ~= (tick_usec * NSEC_PER_USEC * USER_HZ) /NTP_INTERVAL_FREQ The subtle difference is: (tick_usec * NSEC_PER_USEC * USER_HZ) != NSEC_PER_SEC This difference in calculation was causing the clocksource correction code to apply a correction factor to the clocksource so the two intervals were the same, however this results in the actual frequency of the clocksource to be made incorrect. I believe this difference would affect all clocksources, although to differing degrees depending on the clocksource resolution. The issue was introduced when my HZ free ntp patch landed in 2.6.21-rc1, so my apologies for the mistake, and for not noticing it until now. The following patch, corrects the clocksource's initialization code so it uses the same interval length as the code in ntp.c. After applying this patch, the drift value for the same system went from ~283ppm to only 2.635ppm. I believe this patch to be good, however it does affect all arches and I've only tested on x86, so some caution is advised. I do think it would be a likely candidate for a stable 2.6.24.x release.

This patch implements the basic infrastructure for per namespace sysctls. A list of lists of sysctl headers is added, allowing each namespace to have it's own list of sysctl headers. Each list of sysctl headers has a lookup function to find the first sysctl header in the list, allowing the lists to have a per namespace instance. register_sysct_root is added to tell sysctl.c about additional lists of sysctl_headers. As all of the users are expected to be in kernel no unregister function is provided. sysctl_head_next is updated to walk through the list of lists. __register_sysctl_paths is added to add a new sysctl table on a non-default sysctl list. The only intrusive part of this patch is propagating the information to decided which list of sysctls to use for sysctl_check_table. Signed-off-by: NEric W.

There are a number of modules that register a sysctl table somewhere deeply nested in the sysctl hierarchy, such as fs/nfs, fs/xfs, dev/cdrom, etc. They all specify several dummy ctl_tables for the path name. This patch implements register_sysctl_path that takes an additional path name, and makes up dummy sysctl nodes for each component. This patch was originally written by Olaf Kirch and brought to my attention and reworked some by Olaf Hering. I have changed a few additional things so the bugs are mine. After converting all of the easy callers Olaf Hering observed allyesconfig ARCH=i386, the patch reduces the final binary size by 9369 bytes. .text +897 .data -7008 text data bss dec hex filename 26959310 4045899 4718592 35723801 2211a19 ../vmlinux-vanilla 26960207 4038891 4718592 35717690 221023a ../O-allyesconfig/vmlinux So this change is both a space savings and a code simplification.
