x86, percpu: Add 'percpu_read_stable()' interface for cacheable accesses This is very useful for some common things like 'get_current()' and 'get_thread_info()', which can be used multiple times in a function, and where the result is cacheable. tj: Added the magical undocumented "P" modifier to UP __percpu_arg() to force gcc to dereference the pointer value passed in via the "p" input constraint. Without this, percpu_read_stable() returns the address of the percpu variable. Also added comment explaining the difference between percpu_read() and percpu_read_stable().

sched: INIT_PREEMPT_COUNT Pull the initial preempt_count value into a single definition site. Maintainers for: alpha, ia64 and m68k, please have a look, your arch code is funny. The header magic is a bit odd, but similar to the KERNEL_DS one, CPP waits with expanding these macros until the INIT_THREAD_INFO macro itself is expanded, which is in arch/*/kernel/init_task.c where we've already included sched.h so we're good.

x86/paravirt: flush pending mmu updates on context switch Impact: allow preemption during lazy mmu updates If we're in lazy mmu mode when context switching, leave lazy mmu mode, but remember the task's state in TIF_LAZY_MMU_UPDATES. When we resume the task, check this flag and re-enter lazy mmu mode if its set. This sets things up for allowing lazy mmu mode while preemptible, though that won't actually be active until the next change.

x86: uaccess: introduce try and catch framework Impact: introduce new uaccess exception handling framework Introduce {get|put}_user_try and {get|put}_user_catch as new uaccess exception handling framework. {get|put}_user_try begins exception block and {get|put}_user_catch(err) ends the block and gets err if an exception occured in {get|put}_user_ex() in the block. The exception is stored thread_info->uaccess_err. The example usage of this framework is below; int func() { int err = 0; get_user_try { get_user_ex(...); get_user_ex(...); : } get_user_catch(err); return err; } Note: get_user_ex() is not clear the value when an exception occurs, it's different from the behavior of __get_user(), but I think it doesn't matter.

x86: change thread_info's flag field back to 32 bits Impact: pack struct thread_info more tightly Change x86_64's thread_info 'flags' field back to __u32. This was changed to 'unsigned long' when the thread_info*.h for i386 and x86_64 were merged. Change it back. We can do this as only 27 bits of 'flags' are actually used. This change actually packs down thread_info by 64 bits: 32 bits are saved by the smaller flags, and 32 bits are saved by the following 'mm_segment_t field' becoming naturally 64-bit aligned.

tracing/function-return-tracer: store return stack into task_struct and allocate it dynamically Impact: use deeper function tracing depth safely Some tests showed that function return tracing needed a more deeper depth of function calls. But it could be unsafe to store these return addresses to the stack. So these arrays will now be allocated dynamically into task_struct of current only when the tracer is activated. Typical scheme when tracer is activated: - allocate a return stack for each task in global list. - fork: allocate the return stack for the newly created task - exit: free return stack of current - idle init: same as fork I chose a default depth of 50. I don't have overruns anymore. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

tracing/function-return-tracer: add the overrun field Impact: help to find the better depth of trace We decided to arbitrary define the depth of function return trace as "20". Perhaps this is not enough. To help finding an optimal depth, we measure now the overrun: the number of functions that have been missed for the current thread. By default this is not displayed, we have to do set a particular flag on the return tracer: echo overrun > /debug/tracing/trace_options And the overrun will be printed on the right. As the trace shows below, the current 20 depth is not enough. update_wall_time+0x37f/0x8c0 -> update_xtime_cache (345 ns) (Overruns: 2838) update_wall_time+0x384/0x8c0 -> clocksource_get_next (1141 ns) (Overruns: 2838) do_timer+0x23/0x100 -> update_wall_time (3882 ns) (Overruns: 2838) tick_do_update_jiffies64+0xbf/0x160 -> do_timer (5339 ns) (Overruns: 2838) tick_sched_timer+0x6a/0xf0 -> tick_do_update_jiffies64 (7209 ns) (Overruns: 2838) vgacon_set_cursor_size+0x98/0x120 -> native_io_delay (2613 ns) (Overruns: 274) vgacon_cursor+0x16e/0x1d0 -> vgacon_set_cursor_size (33151 ns) (Overruns: 274) set_cursor+0x5f/0x80 -> vgacon_cursor (36432 ns) (Overruns: 274) con_flush_chars+0x34/0x40 -> set_cursor (38790 ns) (Overruns: 274) release_console_sem+0x1ec/0x230 -> up (721 ns) (Overruns: 274) release_console_sem+0x225/0x230 -> wake_up_klogd (316 ns) (Overruns: 274) con_flush_chars+0x39/0x40 -> release_console_sem (2996 ns) (Overruns: 274) con_write+0x22/0x30 -> con_flush_chars (46067 ns) (Overruns: 274) n_tty_write+0x1cc/0x360 -> con_write (292670 ns) (Overruns: 274) smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x2a/0x90 -> native_apic_mem_write (330 ns) (Overruns: 274) irq_enter+0x17/0x70 -> idle_cpu (413 ns) (Overruns: 274) smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x2f/0x90 -> irq_enter (1525 ns) (Overruns: 274) ktime_get_ts+0x40/0x70 -> getnstimeofday (465 ns) (Overruns: 274) ktime_get_ts+0x60/0x70 -> set_normalized_timespec (436 ns) (Overruns: 274) ktime_get+0x16/0x30 -> ktime_get_ts (2501 ns) (Overruns: 274) hrtimer_interrupt+0x77/0x1a0 -> ktime_get (3439 ns) (Overruns: 274) Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

tracing, x86: add low level support for ftrace return tracing Impact: add infrastructure for function-return tracing Add low level support for ftrace return tracing. This plug-in stores return addresses on the thread_info structure of the current task. The index of the current return address is initialized when the task is the first one (init) and when a process forks (the child). It is not needed when a task does a sys_execve because after this syscall, it still needs to return on the kernel functions it called. Note that the code of return_to_handler has been suggested by Steven Rostedt as almost all of the ideas of improvements in this V3. For purpose of security, arch/x86/kernel/process_32.c is not traced because __switch_to() changes the current task during its execution. That could cause inconsistency in the stored return address of this function even if I didn't have any crash after testing with tracing on this function enabled.
