This implements a few trace points across events that are deemed interesting. This implements a number of trace points: - The page fault handler / TLB miss - IPC calls - Kernel thread creation The original LTTng patch had the slow-path instrumented, which fails to account for the vast majority of events. In general placing this in the fast-path is not a huge performance hit, as we don't take page faults for kernel addresses. The other bits of interest are some of the other trap handlers, as well as the syscall entry/exit (which is better off being handled through the tracehook API). Most of the other trap handlers are corner cases where alternate means of notification exist, so there is little value in placing extra trace points in these locations. Based on top of the points provided both by the LTTng instrumentation patch as well as the patch shipping in the ST-Linux tree, albeit in a stripped down form.

This fixes a problem in the code which copies the vmalloc portion of the kernel's page table into the current user space page table. The addition of the four level page table code breaks on folded page tables, because the pud level is always present (although folded). This updates the code to use the same style of updates for the pud as is used for the pgd level. Signed-off-by: NStuart Menefy <stuart.menefy@st.com> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

The current kernel behaviour is to reenable interrupts unconditionally when taking a page fault. This patch changes this to only enable them if interrupts were previously enabled. It also fixes a problem seen with this fix in place: the kernel previously flushed the vsyscall page when handling a signal, which is not only unncessary, but caused a possible sleep with interrupts disabled.

The idea is that we want to get rid of the in/out/readb/writeb callbacks from the machvec and replace that with simple inline read and write operations to memory. Fast and simple for most hardware devices (think pci). Some devices require special treatment though - like 16-bit only CF devices - so we need to have some method to hook in callbacks. This patch makes it possible to add a per-device trap generating filter. This way we can get maximum performance of sane hardware - which doesn't need this filter - and crappy hardware works but gets punished by a performance hit. V2 changes things around a bit and replaces io access callbacks with a simple minimum_bus_width value. In the future we can add stride as well.

With the refactored update_mmu_cache() introduced in older kernels, there's no longer any need to take the page_table_lock in this path, so simply drop it completely. Without this, performance degradation is seen on SMP on heavily threaded workloads that don't use the split ptlock, and ultimately we have no reason to contend for the lock in the first place.

The __do_page_fault() fast-path contains a UTLB flush in order to force an ITLB reload, this isn't needed in practice as the ITLB is auto-reloaded from the UTLB anyways, which is already displaced by the manual 'ldtlb' in the update_mmu_cache() path. This provides a measurable speed up in the TLB miss fast-path. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check. Split it into is_global_init() and is_container_init(). A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1. A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace is the init_pid_ns. But rather than check the active pid namespace, compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes. Changelog: 2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1: - Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance and remove dependence on the task_pid(). 2.6.21-mm2-pidns2: - [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc, ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init(). This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a bug rather than force a kernel panic.

We have had complaints where a threaded application is left in a bad state after one of it's threads is killed when we hit a VM: out_of_memory condition. Killing just one of the process threads can leave the application in a bad state, whereas killing the entire process group would allow for the application to restart, or be otherwise handled, and makes it very obvious that something has gone wrong. This change allows the entire process group to be taken down, rather than just the one thread.

This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch. (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280). It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init(). Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other patches for now. Eric's original description: There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init because we give it special properties. Most significantly init must not die. This results in code all over the kernel test ->pid == 1. Introduce is_init to capture this case. With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are looking for only the first process on the system, not some other process that has pid == 1. Signed-off-by: NEric W.

Make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ for a number of architectures which don't support write only in hardware. While looking at this, I noticed that some architectures which do not support write only mappings already take the exact same approach. For example, in arch/alpha/mm/fault.c: " if (cause < 0) { if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_EXEC)) goto bad_area; } else if (!cause) { /* Allow reads even for write-only mappings */ if (!(vma->vm_flags & (VM_READ | VM_WRITE))) goto bad_area; } else { if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE)) goto bad_area; } " Thus, this patch brings other architectures which do not support write only mappings in-line and consistent with the rest. I've verified the patch on ia64, x86_64 and x86. Additional discussion: Several architectures, including x86, can not support write-only mappings. The pte for x86 reserves a single bit for protection and its two states are read only or read/write. Thus, write only is not supported in h/w. Currently, if i 'mmap' a page write-only, the first read attempt on that page creates a page fault and will SEGV. That check is enforced in arch/blah/mm/fault.c. However, if i first write that page it will fault in and the pte will be set to read/write. Thus, any subsequent reads to the page will succeed. It is this inconsistency in behavior that this patch is attempting to address. Furthermore, if the page is swapped out, and then brought back the first read will also cause a SEGV. Thus, any arbitrary read on a page can potentially result in a SEGV. According to the SuSv3 spec, "if the application requests only PROT_WRITE, the implementation may also allow read access." Also as mentioned, some archtectures, such as alpha, shown above already take the approach that i am suggesting. The counter-argument to this raised by Arjan, is that the kernel is enforcing the write only mapping the best it can given the h/w limitations. This is true, however Alan Cox, and myself would argue that the inconsitency in behavior, that is applications can sometimes work/sometimes fails is highly undesireable. If you read through the thread, i think people, came to an agreement on the last patch i posted, as nobody has objected to it...

Currently when making changes to control registers, we typically need some time for changes to take effect (8 nops, generally). However, for sh4a we simply need to do an icbi.. This is a simple patch for implementing a general purpose ctrl_barrier() which functions as a control register write barrier. There's some additional documentation in the patch itself, but it's pretty self explanatory. There were also some places where we were not doing the barrier, which didn't seem to have any adverse effects on legacy parts, but certainly did on sh4a. It's safer to have the barrier in place for legacy parts as well in these cases, though this does make flush_tlb_all() more expensive (by an order of 8 nops). We can ifdef around the flush_tlb_all() case for now if it's clear that all legacy parts won't have a problem with this. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
