      ptrace_signal subroutine · 18c98b65
      Roland McGrath 提交于
      This breaks out the ptrace handling from get_signal_to_deliver into a
      new subroutine.  The actual code there doesn't change, and it gets
      inlined into nearly identical compiled code.  This makes the function
      substantially shorter and thus easier to read, and it nicely isolates
      the ptrace magic.

      cgroup: fix a race condition in manipulating tsk->cg_list · 0e04388f
      Li Zefan 提交于
      When I ran a test program to fork mass processes and at the same time
      'cat /cgroup/tasks', I got the following oops:
      
        ------------[ cut here ]------------

        Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!
      
      After digging into the code and debugging, I finlly found out a race
      situation:
      
      				do_exit()
      				  ->cgroup_exit()
      				    ->if (!list_empty(&tsk->cg_list))
      				        list_del(&tsk->cg_list);
      
        cgroup_iter_start()
          ->cgroup_enable_task_cg_list()
            ->list_add(&tsk->cg_list, ..);
      
      In this case the list won't be deleted though the process has exited.
      
      We got two bug reports in the past, which seem to be the same bug as
      this one:
      	http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/5/332
      	http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/17/224
      
      Actually sometimes I got oops on list_del, sometimes oops on list_add.
      And I can change my test program a bit to trigger other oops.
      
      The patch has been tested both on x86_32 and x86_64.

      kgdb: always use icache flush for sw breakpoints · 1a9a3e76
      Jason Wessel 提交于
      On the ppc 4xx architecture the instruction cache must be flushed as
      well as the data cache.  This patch just makes it generic for all
      architectures where CACHE_FLUSH_IS_SAFE is set to 1.

      kgdb: fix SMP NMI kgdb_handle_exception exit race · 56fb7093
      Jason Wessel 提交于
      Fix the problem of protecting the kgdb handle_exception exit
      which had an NMI race condition, while trying to restore
      normal system operation.
      
      There was a small window after the master processor sets cpu_in_debug
      to zero but before it has set kgdb_active to zero where a
      non-master processor in an SMP system could receive an NMI and
      re-enter the kgdb_wait() loop.
      
      As long as the master processor sets the cpu_in_debug before sending
      the cpu roundup the cpu_in_debug variable can also be used to guard
      against the race condition.
      
      The kgdb_wait() function no longer needs to check
      kgdb_active because it is done in the arch specific code
      and handled along with the nmi traps at the low level.
      This also allows kgdb_wait() to exit correctly if it was
      entered for some unknown reason due to a spurious NMI that
      could not be handled by the arch specific code.

      kgdb: fix several kgdb regressions · 737a460f
      Jason Wessel 提交于
      kgdb core fixes:
      - Check to see that mm->mmap_cache is not null before calling
        flush_cache_range(), else on arch=ARM it will cause a fatal
        fault.
      
      - Breakpoints should only be restored if they are in the BP_ACTIVE
        state.
      
      - Fix a typo in comments to "kgdb_register_io_module"
      
      x86 kgdb fixes:
      - Fix the x86 arch handler such that on a kill or detach that the
        appropriate cleanup on the single stepping flags gets run.
      
      - Add in the DIE_NMIWATCHDOG call for x86_64
      
      - Touch the nmi watchdog before returning the system to normal
        operation after performing any kind of kgdb operation, else
        the possibility exists to trigger the watchdog.

      kgdb: fix optional arch functions and probe_kernel_* · b4b8ac52
      Jason Wessel 提交于
      Fix two regressions dealing with the kgdb core.
      
      1) kgdb_skipexception and kgdb_post_primary_code are optional
      functions that are only required on archs that need special exception
      fixups.
      
      2) The kernel address space scope must be set on any probe_kernel_*
      function or archs such as ARCH=arm will not allow access to the kernel
      memory space.  As an example, it is required to allow the full kernel
      address space is when you the kernel debugger to inspect a system
      call.
