This makes i386 use the generic BUG machinery. There are no functional changes from the old i386 implementation. The main advantage in using the generic BUG machinery for i386 is that the inlined overhead of BUG is just the ud2a instruction; the file+line(+function) information are no longer inlined into the instruction stream. This reduces cache pollution, and makes disassembly work properly.

i386 port of the sLeAZY-fpu feature. Chuck reports that this gives him a +/- 0.4% improvement on his simple benchmark x86_64 description follows: Right now the kernel on x86-64 has a 100% lazy fpu behavior: after *every* context switch a trap is taken for the first FPU use to restore the FPU context lazily. This is of course great for applications that have very sporadic or no FPU use (since then you avoid doing the expensive save/restore all the time). However for very frequent FPU users... you take an extra trap every context switch. The patch below adds a simple heuristic to this code: After 5 consecutive context switches of FPU use, the lazy behavior is disabled and the context gets restored every context switch. If the app indeed uses the FPU, the trap is avoided. (the chance of the 6th time slice using FPU after the previous 5 having done so are quite high obviously). After 256 switches, this is reset and lazy behavior is returned (until there are 5 consecutive ones again). The reason for this is to give apps that do longer bursts of FPU use still the lazy behavior back after some time.

This patch removes the default_ldt[] array, as it has been unused since iBCS stopped being supported. This means it is now possible to actually set an empty LDT segment. In order to deal with this, the set_ldt_desc/load_LDT pair has been replaced with a single set_ldt() operation which is responsible for both setting up the LDT descriptor in the GDT, and reloading the LDT register. If there are no LDT entries, the LDT register is loaded with a NULL descriptor.

When showing the stack backtrace, make sure that we never accept not only an unchanging frame pointer, but also a frame pointer that moves back down the stack frame. It must always grow up (toward older stack frames). I doubt this has triggered, but a subtly corrupt stack with extremely unlucky contents could cause us to loop forever on a bogus endless frame pointer chain. This review was triggered by much worse problems happening in some of the other stack unwinding code. Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Sometimes, bug reports come in where we've had an oops, and the only record we have is what the reporter saw on screen shortly before the system locked up completely. Unfortunatly, syslog only prints lines beginning with KERN_EMERG to the console, so some lines get lost.

The implementation comes from Zach's [RFC, PATCH 10/24] i386 Vmi descriptor changes: Descriptor and trap table cleanups. Add cleanly written accessors for IDT and GDT gates so the subarch may override them. Note that this allows the hypervisor to transparently tweak the DPL of the descriptors as well as the RPL of segments in those descriptors, with no unnecessary kernel code modification. It also allows the hypervisor implementation of the VMI to tweak the gates, allowing for custom exception frames or extra layers of indirection above the guest fault / IRQ handlers.

To quote Alan Cox: The default Linux behaviour on an NMI of either memory or unknown is to continue operation. For many environments such as scientific computing it is preferable that the box is taken out and the error dealt with than an uncorrected parity/ECC error get propogated. A small number of systems do generate NMI's for bizarre random reasons such as power management so the default is unchanged. In other respects the new proc/sys entry works like the existing panic controls already in that directory. This is separate to the edac support - EDAC allows supported chipsets to handle ECC errors well, this change allows unsupported cases to at least panic rather than cause problems further down the line.

This patch cleans up the NMI interrupt path. Instead of being gated by if the 'nmi callback' is set, the interrupt handler now calls everyone who is registered on the die_chain and additionally checks the nmi watchdog, reseting it if enabled.

The unwinder fallback logic still had potential for falling through to the legacy stack trace code without printing an indication (at once serving as a separator) of this. Further, the stack pointer retrieval for the fallback should be as restrictive as possible (in order to avoid having the legacy stack tracer try to access invalid memory). The patch tightens that, but this could certainly be further improved. Also making the call_trace command line option now conditional upon CONFIG_STACK_UNWIND (as it's meaningless otherwise).

Previously the message was "Fatal exception: panic_on_oops", as introduced in a recent patch whith removed a somewhat dangerous call to ssleep() in the panic_on_oops path. However, Paul Mackerras suggested that this was somewhat confusing, leadind people to believe that it was panic_on_oops that was the root cause of the fatal exception. On his suggestion, this patch changes the message to simply "Fatal exception". A suitable oops message should already have been displayed.

由 Horms 提交于
This patch is part of an effort to unify the panic_on_oops behaviour across all architectures that implement it. It was pointed out to me by Andi Kleen that if an oops has occured in interrupt context, then calling sleep() in the oops path will only cause a panic, and that it would be really better for it not to be in the path at all. This patch removes the ssleep() call and reworks the console message accordinly. I have a slght concern that the resulting console message is too long, feedback welcome. For powerpc it also unifies the 32bit and 64bit behaviour. Fror x86_64, this patch only updates the console message, as ssleep() is already not present.
