      kprobes: improve kretprobe scalability with hashed locking · ef53d9c5
      Srinivasa D S 提交于
      Currently list of kretprobe instances are stored in kretprobe object (as
      used_instances,free_instances) and in kretprobe hash table.  We have one
      global kretprobe lock to serialise the access to these lists.  This causes
      only one kretprobe handler to execute at a time.  Hence affects system
      performance, particularly on SMP systems and when return probe is set on
      lot of functions (like on all systemcalls).
      
      Solution proposed here gives fine-grain locks that performs better on SMP
      system compared to present kretprobe implementation.
      
      Solution:
      
       1) Instead of having one global lock to protect kretprobe instances
          present in kretprobe object and kretprobe hash table.  We will have
          two locks, one lock for protecting kretprobe hash table and another
          lock for kretporbe object.
      
       2) We hold lock present in kretprobe object while we modify kretprobe
          instance in kretprobe object and we hold per-hash-list lock while
          modifying kretprobe instances present in that hash list.  To prevent
          deadlock, we never grab a per-hash-list lock while holding a kretprobe
          lock.
      
       3) We can remove used_instances from struct kretprobe, as we can
          track used instances of kretprobe instances using kretprobe hash
          table.
      
      Time duration for kernel compilation ("make -j 8") on a 8-way ppc64 system
      with return probes set on all systemcalls looks like this.

      sysdev: Pass the attribute to the low level sysdev show/store function · 4a0b2b4d
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store
      functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated
      by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute
      passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute
      and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things.
      
      I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86
      machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups.
      
      I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype. It's a single
      huge patch to avoid unbisectable sections.
      
      Runtime tested: x86-32, x86-64
      Compiled only: ia64, powerpc
      Not compile tested/only grep converted: sh, arm, avr32

      [S390] Increase default warning stacksize. · c5a37255
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      Compiling a kernel with allmodconfig or allyesconfig results in tons
      of gcc warnings, because the default maximum stacksize from which on
      gcc will emit a warning is just 256 bytes.
      Increase this to 2048, so these warnings don't distract from the real
      warnings that we need to watch at.
