* kmemtrace: Rename some functionsLi Zefan2009-07-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So we have: - kmemtrace_print_alloc/free() for kmemtrace default output - kmemtrace_print_alloc/free_user() for binary output used by kmemtrace-user.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's rather confusing that in t_start(), in some cases @pos is incremented, and in some cases it's decremented and then incremented. This patch rewrites t_start() in a much more general way.

* mm/init: cpu_hotplug_init() must be initialized before SLABLinus Torvalds2009-06-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SLAB uses get/put_online_cpus() which use a mutex which is itself only initialized when cpu_hotplug_init() is called. Currently we hang suring boot in SLAB due to doing that too late. Reported by James Bottomley and Sachin Sant (and possibly others). Debugged by Benjamin Herrenschmidt. This just removes the dynamic initialization of the data structures, and replaces it with a static one, avoiding this dependency entirely, and removing one unnecessary special initcall.

Therefore we can return a locked object that can get freed the moment we release the rcu read lock. perf_pin_task_context() then increases the refcount and does an unlock on freed memory. That increased refcount will cause a double free, in case it started out with 0. Ammend this by including the get_ctx() functionality in perf_lock_task_context() (all users already did this later anyway), and return a NULL context when the found one is already dead.

An arch may implement passing of a variable that is unique to the function and can be saved on entering a function and can be tested when exiting the function. Usually the frame pointer can be used for this purpose. This patch also implements this for x86. Where it passes in the stack frame of the parent function, and will test that frame on exit. There was a case in x86_32 with optimize for size (-Os) where, for a few functions, gcc would align the stack frame and place a copy of the return address into it. The function graph tracer modified the copy and not the actual return address. On return from the funtion, it did not go to the tracer hook, but returned to the parent. This broke the function graph tracer, because the return of the parent (where gcc did not do this funky manipulation) returned to the location that the child function was suppose to. This caused strange kernel crashes. This test detected the problem and pointed out where the issue was. This modifies the parameters of one of the functions that the arch specific code calls, so it includes changes to arch code to accommodate the new prototype. Note, I notice that the parsic arch implements its own push_return_trace. This is now a generic function and the ftrace_push_return_trace should be used instead. This patch does not touch that code.

The return address that is located in the stack frame may not be the one used to return to the calling function. This will break the function graph tracer. The function graph tracer replaces the return address with a jump to a hook function that can trace the exit of the function. If it only replaces a copy, then the hook will not be called when the function returns. Worse yet, when the parent function returns, the function graph tracer will return back to the location of the child function which will easily crash the kernel with weird results. To see the problem, when i386 is compiled with -Os we get: c106be03: 57 push %edi c106be04: 8d 7c 24 08 lea 0x8(%esp),%edi c106be08: 83 e4 e0 and $0xffffffe0,%esp c106be0b: ff 77 fc pushl 0xfffffffc(%edi) c106be0e: 55 push %ebp c106be0f: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp c106be11: 57 push %edi c106be12: 56 push %esi c106be13: 53 push %ebx c106be14: 81 ec 8c 00 00 00 sub $0x8c,%esp c106be1a: e8 f5 57 fb ff call c1021614 <mcount> When it is compiled with -O2 instead we get: c10896f0: 55 push %ebp c10896f1: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp c10896f3: 83 ec 28 sub $0x28,%esp c10896f6: 89 5d f4 mov %ebx,0xfffffff4(%ebp) c10896f9: 89 75 f8 mov %esi,0xfffffff8(%ebp) c10896fc: 89 7d fc mov %edi,0xfffffffc(%ebp) c10896ff: e8 d0 08 fa ff call c1029fd4 <mcount> The compile with -Os will align the stack pointer then set up the frame pointer (%ebp), and it copies the return address back into the stack frame. The change to the return address in mcount is done to the copy and not the real place holder of the return address. Then compile with -O2 sets up the frame pointer first, this makes the change to the return address by mcount affect where the function will jump on exit.

This overlap of the page struct was very dangerous and that hack was removed a while ago. But there was a check to make sure the buffer_page never became bigger than the page struct, and would fail the compile if it did. The check was only meaningful when we had the hack. Now that we have separate allocated descriptors for the buffer pages, we can remove this check. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
