      tracing/events: move trace point headers into include/trace/events · ad8d75ff
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Impact: clean up
      
      Create a sub directory in include/trace called events to keep the
      trace point headers in their own separate directory. Only headers that
      declare trace points should be defined in this directory.

      tracing: create automated trace defines · a8d154b0
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      This patch lowers the number of places a developer must modify to add
      new tracepoints. The current method to add a new tracepoint
      into an existing system is to write the trace point macro in the
      trace header with one of the macros TRACE_EVENT, TRACE_FORMAT or
      DECLARE_TRACE, then they must add the same named item into the C file
      with the macro DEFINE_TRACE(name) and then add the trace point.
      
      This change cuts out the needing to add the DEFINE_TRACE(name).
      Every file that uses the tracepoint must still include the trace/<type>.h
      file, but the one C file must also add a define before the including
      of that file.
      
       #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
       #include <trace/mytrace.h>
      
      This will cause the trace/mytrace.h file to also produce the C code
      necessary to implement the trace point.
      
      Note, if more than one trace/<type>.h is used to create the C code
      it is best to list them all together.
      
       #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
       #include <trace/foo.h>
       #include <trace/bar.h>
       #include <trace/fido.h>
      
      Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers and Christoph Hellwig for coming up with
      the cleaner solution of the define above the includes over my first
      design to have the C code include a "special" header.
      
      This patch converts sched, irq and lockdep and skb to use this new
      method.

      memdup_user(): introduce · 610a77e0
      Li Zefan 提交于
      I notice there are many places doing copy_from_user() which follows
      kmalloc():
      
              dst = kmalloc(len, GFP_KERNEL);
              if (!dst)
                      return -ENOMEM;
              if (copy_from_user(dst, src, len)) {
      		kfree(dst);
      		return -EFAULT
      	}
      
      memdup_user() is a wrapper of the above code.  With this new function, we
      don't have to write 'len' twice, which can lead to typos/mistakes.  It
      also produces smaller code and kernel text.
      
      A quick grep shows 250+ places where memdup_user() *may* be used.  I'll
      prepare a patchset to do this conversion.

      [PATCH] kmemdup: introduce · 1a2f67b4
      Alexey Dobriyan 提交于
      One of idiomatic ways to duplicate a region of memory is
      
      	dst = kmalloc(len, GFP_KERNEL);
      	if (!dst)
      		return -ENOMEM;
      	memcpy(dst, src, len);
      
      which is neat code except a programmer needs to write size twice.  Which
      sometimes leads to mistakes.  If len passed to kmalloc is smaller that len
      passed to memcpy, it's straight overwrite-beyond-end.  If len passed to
      memcpy is smaller than len passed to kmalloc, it's either a) legit
      behaviour ;-), or b) cloned buffer will contain garbage in second half.
      
      Slight trolling of commit lists shows several duplications bugs
      done exactly because of diverged lenghts:
      
      	Linux:
      		[CRYPTO]: Fix memcpy/memset args.
      		[PATCH] memcpy/memset fixes
      	OpenBSD:
      		kerberosV/src/lib/asn1: der_copy.c:1.4
      
      If programmer is given only one place to play with lengths, I believe, such
      mistakes could be avoided.
      
      With kmemdup, the snippet above will be rewritten as:
      
      	dst = kmemdup(src, len, GFP_KERNEL);
      	if (!dst)
      		return -ENOMEM;
      
      This also leads to smaller code (kzalloc effect). Quick grep shows
      200+ places where kmemdup() can be used.

      compile-time constant size.  Please note that the patch increases kernel
      text slightly (~200 bytes for defconfig on x86).
