      ARC: pt_regs update #3: Remove unused gutter at start of callee_regs · 16f9afe6
      Vineet Gupta 提交于
      This is trickier than prev two:
      
      * context switching code saves kernel mode callee regs in the format of
        struct callee_regs thus needs adjustment. This also reduces the height
        of topmost kernel stack frame by 1 word.
      
      * Since kernel stack unwinder is sensitive to height of topmost kernel
        stack frame, that needs a word of adjustment too.
      
      ptrace needs a bit of updating since pt_regs now diverges from
      user_regs_struct.

      dump_stack: consolidate dump_stack() implementations and unify their behaviors · 196779b9
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Both dump_stack() and show_stack() are currently implemented by each
      architecture.  show_stack(NULL, NULL) dumps the backtrace for the
      current task as does dump_stack().  On some archs, dump_stack() prints
      extra information - pid, utsname and so on - in addition to the
      backtrace while the two are identical on other archs.
      
      The usages in arch-independent code of the two functions indicate
      show_stack(NULL, NULL) should print out bare backtrace while
      dump_stack() is used for debugging purposes when something went wrong,
      so it does make sense to print additional information on the task which
      triggered dump_stack().
      
      There's no reason to require archs to implement two separate but mostly
      identical functions.  It leads to unnecessary subtle information.
      
      This patch expands the dummy fallback dump_stack() implementation in
      lib/dump_stack.c such that it prints out debug information (taken from
      x86) and invokes show_stack(NULL, NULL) and drops arch-specific
      dump_stack() implementations in all archs except blackfin.  Blackfin's
      dump_stack() does something wonky that I don't understand.
      
      Debug information can be printed separately by calling
      dump_stack_print_info() so that arch-specific dump_stack()
      implementation can still emit the same debug information.  This is used
      in blackfin.
      
      This patch brings the following behavior changes.
      
      * On some archs, an extra level in backtrace for show_stack() could be
        printed.  This is because the top frame was determined in
        dump_stack() on those archs while generic dump_stack() can't do that
        reliably.  It can be compensated by inlining dump_stack() but not
        sure whether that'd be necessary.
      
      * Most archs didn't use to print debug info on dump_stack().  They do
        now.
      
      An example WARN dump follows.

      v2: CPU number added to the generic debug info as requested by s390
          folks and dropped the s390 specific dump_stack().  This loses %ksp
          from the debug message which the maintainers think isn't important
          enough to keep the s390-specific dump_stack() implementation.
      
          dump_stack_print_info() is moved to kernel/printk.c from
          lib/dump_stack.c.  Because linkage is per objecct file,
          dump_stack_print_info() living in the same lib file as generic
          dump_stack() means that archs which implement custom dump_stack()
          - at this point, only blackfin - can't use dump_stack_print_info()
          as that will bring in the generic version of dump_stack() too.  v1
          The v1 patch broke build on blackfin due to this issue.  The build
          breakage was reported by Fengguang Wu.
