      [PATCH] Kprobes: Make kprobe modules more portable · 3a872d89
      Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli 提交于
      In an effort to make kprobe modules more portable, here is a patch that:
      
      o Introduces the "symbol_name" field to struct kprobe.
        The symbol->address resolution now happens in the kernel in an
        architecture agnostic manner. 64-bit powerpc users no longer have
        to specify the ".symbols"
      o Introduces the "offset" field to struct kprobe to allow a user to
        specify an offset into a symbol.
      o The legacy mechanism of specifying the kprobe.addr is still supported.
        However, if both the kprobe.addr and kprobe.symbol_name are specified,
        probe registration fails with an -EINVAL.
      o The symbol resolution code uses kallsyms_lookup_name(). So
        CONFIG_KPROBES now depends on CONFIG_KALLSYMS
      o Apparantly kprobe modules were the only legitimate out-of-tree user of
        the kallsyms_lookup_name() EXPORT. Now that the symbol resolution
        happens in-kernel, remove the EXPORT as suggested by Christoph Hellwig
      o Modify tcp_probe.c that uses the kprobe interface so as to make it
        work on multiple platforms (in its earlier form, the code wouldn't
        work, say, on powerpc)

      [POWERPC] Support for "weird" MPICs and fixup mpc7448_hpc2 · 7233593b
      Zang Roy-r61911 提交于
      This adds a new hardware information table for mpic. This enables
      the mpic code to deal with mpic controllers with different register
      layouts and hardware behaviours.
      
      This introduces CONFIG_MPIC_WEIRD.  For boards with non standard mpic
      controllers, select CONFIG_MPIC_WEIRD and add its hardware information
      in the mpic_infos[] array.
      
      TSI108/109 PIC takes the first index of weird hardware information
      table.  :)  The table can be extended. The Tsi108/109 PIC looks like
      standard OpenPIC but, in fact, is different in register mapping and
      behavior.
      
      The patch does not affect the behavior of standard mpic.  If
      CONFIG_MPIC_WEIRD is not defined, the code is essentially identical to
      the current code.
      
      [benh@kernel.crashing.org:
      This patch is a slightly cleaned up version of Zang Roy's support for
      the TSI108 MPIC variant. It also fixes up MPC7448_hpc2 to use the new
      version of the type macros and changes the way MPIC is selected in
      Kconfig to better match what is done for other system devices.

      powerpc: Use correct sequence for putting CPU into nap mode · f39224a8
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      We weren't using the recommended sequence for putting the CPU into
      nap mode.  When I changed the idle loop, for some reason 7447A cpus
      started hanging when we put them into nap mode.  Changing to the
      recommended sequence fixes that.
      
      The complexity here is that the recommended sequence is a loop that
      keeps putting the cpu back into nap mode.  Clearly we need some way
      to break out of the loop when an interrupt (external interrupt,
      decrementer, performance monitor) occurs.  Here we use a bit in
      the thread_info struct to indicate that we need this, and the exception
      entry code notices this and arranges for the exception to return
      to the value in the link register, thus breaking out of the loop.
      We use a new `local_flags' field in the thread_info which we can
      alter without needing to use an atomic update sequence.
      
      The PPC970 has the same recommended sequence, so we do the same thing
      there too.
      
      This also fixes a bug in the kernel stack overflow handling code on
      32-bit, since it was causing a value that we needed in a register to
      get trashed.

      [PATCH] Configurable NODES_SHIFT · c80d79d7
      Yasunori Goto 提交于
      Current implementations define NODES_SHIFT in include/asm-xxx/numnodes.h for
      each arch.  Its definition is sometimes configurable.  Indeed, ia64 defines 5
      NODES_SHIFT values in the current git tree.  But it looks a bit messy.
      
      SGI-SN2(ia64) system requires 1024 nodes, and the number of nodes already has
      been changeable by config.  Suitable node's number may be changed in the
      future even if it is other architecture.  So, I wrote configurable node's
      number.
      
      This patch set defines just default value for each arch which needs multi
      nodes except ia64.  But, it is easy to change to configurable if necessary.
      
      On ia64 the number of nodes can be already configured in generic ia64 and SN2
      config.  But, NODES_SHIFT is defined for DIG64 and HP'S machine too.  So, I
      changed it so that all platforms can be configured via CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT.  It
      would be simpler.

      powerpc: Implement accurate task and CPU time accounting · c6622f63
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This implements accurate task and cpu time accounting for 64-bit
      powerpc kernels.  Instead of accounting a whole jiffy of time to a
      task on a timer interrupt because that task happened to be running at
      the time, we now account time in units of timebase ticks according to
      the actual time spent by the task in user mode and kernel mode.  We
      also count the time spent processing hardware and software interrupts
      accurately.  This is conditional on CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING.  If
      that is not set, we do tick-based approximate accounting as before.
      
      To get this accurate information, we read either the PURR (processor
      utilization of resources register) on POWER5 machines, or the timebase
      on other machines on
      
      * each entry to the kernel from usermode
      * each exit to usermode
      * transitions between process context, hard irq context and soft irq
        context in kernel mode
      * context switches.
      
      On POWER5 systems with shared-processor logical partitioning we also
      read both the PURR and the timebase at each timer interrupt and
      context switch in order to determine how much time has been taken by
      the hypervisor to run other partitions ("steal" time).  Unfortunately,
      since we need values of the PURR on both threads at the same time to
      accurately calculate the steal time, and since we can only calculate
      steal time on a per-core basis, the apportioning of the steal time
      between idle time (time which we ceded to the hypervisor in the idle
      loop) and actual stolen time is somewhat approximate at the moment.
      
      This is all based quite heavily on what s390 does, and it uses the
      generic interfaces that were added by the s390 developers,
      i.e. account_system_time(), account_user_time(), etc.
      
      This patch doesn't add any new interfaces between the kernel and
      userspace, and doesn't change the units in which time is reported to
      userspace by things such as /proc/stat, /proc/<pid>/stat, getrusage(),
      times(), etc.  Internally the various task and cpu times are stored in
      timebase units, but they are converted to USER_HZ units (1/100th of a
      second) when reported to userspace.  Some precision is therefore lost
      but there should not be any accumulating error, since the internal
      accumulation is at full precision.
