Andreas Dilger b72e53f8bb kconfig.debug: clarify CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO help text
The following patch adds some extra clarification to the CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO
Kconfig help text.  The current text is mostly a recursive definition and
doesn't really say much of anything.  When I first read this I thought it
was going to enable extra verbosity in debug messages or something, but it
is only enabling the "gcc -g" compile option in the Makefile.

Akinobu Mita 1df49008f4 [PATCH] fault injection: split up stacktrace filter Kconfig option
There is no prompt for CONFIG_STACKTRACE, so FAULT_INJECTION cannot be
selected without LOCKDEP enabled.  (found by Paolo 'Blaisorblade'
Giarrusso)

In order to fix such broken Kconfig dependency, this patch splits up the
stacktrace filter support for fault injection by new Kconfig option, which
enables to use fault injection on the architecture which doesn't have
general stacktrace support.

Akinobu Mita 329409aeda [PATCH] fault injection: stacktrace filtering
This patch provides stacktrace filtering feature.

The stacktrace filter allows failing only for the caller you are
interested in.

For example someone may want to inject kmalloc() failures into
only e100 module. they want to inject not only direct kmalloc() call,
but also indirect allocation, too.

- e100_poll --> netif_receive_skb --> packet_rcv_spkt --> skb_clone
  --> kmem_cache_alloc

This patch enables to detect function calls like this by stacktrace
and inject failures. The script Documentaion/fault-injection/failmodule.sh
helps it.

The range of text section of loaded e100 is expected to be
[/sys/module/e100/sections/.text, /sys/module/e100/sections/.exit.text)

So failmodule.sh stores these values into /debug/failslab/address-start
and /debug/failslab/address-end. The maximum stacktrace depth is specified
by /debug/failslab/stacktrace-depth.

Please see the example that demonstrates how to inject slab allocation
failures only for a specific module
in Documentation/fault-injection/fault-injection.txt

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 91768d6c2b [PATCH] Generic BUG for i386
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.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 7664c5a1da [PATCH] Generic BUG implementation
This patch adds common handling for kernel BUGs, for use by architectures as
they wish.  The code is derived from arch/powerpc.

The advantages of having common BUG handling are:
 - consistent BUG reporting across architectures
 - shared implementation of out-of-line file/line data
 - implement CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE consistently

This means that in inline impact of BUG is just the illegal instruction
itself, which is an improvement for i386 and x86-64.

A BUG is represented in the instruction stream as an illegal instruction,
which has file/line information associated with it.  This extra information is
stored in the __bug_table section in the ELF file.

When the kernel gets an illegal instruction, it first confirms it might
possibly be from a BUG (ie, in kernel mode, the right illegal instruction).
It then calls report_bug().  This searches __bug_table for a matching
instruction pointer, and if found, prints the corresponding file/line
information.  If report_bug() determines that it wasn't a BUG which caused the
trap, it returns BUG_TRAP_TYPE_NONE.

Some architectures (powerpc) implement WARN using the same mechanism; if the
illegal instruction was the result of a WARN, then report_bug(Q) returns
CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE; otherwise it returns BUG_TRAP_TYPE_BUG.

lib/bug.c keeps a list of loaded modules which can be searched for __bug_table
entries.  The architecture must call
module_bug_finalize()/module_bug_cleanup() from its corresponding
module_finalize/cleanup functions.

Unsetting CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE will reduce the kernel size by some amount.
At the very least, filename and line information will not be recorded for each
but, but architectures may decide to store no extra information per BUG at
all.

Unfortunately, gcc doesn't have a general way to mark an asm() as noreturn, so
architectures will generally have to include an infinite loop (or similar) in
the BUG code, so that gcc knows execution won't continue beyond that point.
gcc does have a __builtin_trap() operator which may be useful to achieve the
same effect, unfortunately it cannot be used to actually implement the BUG
itself, because there's no way to get the instruction's address for use in
generating the __bug_table entry.

Ankita Garg 8bb31b9d53 [PATCH] Linux Kernel Dump Test Module
A simple module to test Linux Kernel Dump mechanism.  This module uses
jprobes to install/activate pre-defined crash points.  At different crash
points, various types of crashing scenarios are created like a BUG(),
panic(), exception, recursive loop and stack overflow.  The user can
activate a crash point with specific type by providing parameters at the
time of module insertion.  Please see the file header for usage
information.  The module is based on the Linux Kernel Dump Test Tool by
Fernando <http://lkdtt.sourceforge.net>.

This module could be merged with mainline. Jprobes is used here so that the
context in which crash point is hit, could be maintained. This implements
all the crash points as done by LKDTT except the one in the middle of
tasklet_action().

Haavard Skinnemoen 5f97f7f940 [PATCH] avr32 architecture
This adds support for the Atmel AVR32 architecture as well as the AT32AP7000
CPU and the AT32STK1000 development board.

AVR32 is a new high-performance 32-bit RISC microprocessor core, designed for
cost-sensitive embedded applications, with particular emphasis on low power
consumption and high code density.  The AVR32 architecture is not binary
compatible with earlier 8-bit AVR architectures.

The AVR32 architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the
AVR32 Architecture Manual, available from

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32000.pdf

The Atmel AT32AP7000 is the first CPU implementing the AVR32 architecture.  It
features a 7-stage pipeline, 16KB instruction and data caches and a full
Memory Management Unit.  It also comes with a large set of integrated
peripherals, many of which are shared with the AT91 ARM-based controllers from

Ingo Molnar fbb9ce9530 [PATCH] lockdep: core
Do 'make oldconfig' and accept all the defaults for new config options -
reboot into the kernel and if everything goes well it should boot up fine and
you should have /proc/lockdep and /proc/lockdep_stats files.

Typically if the lock validator finds some problem it will print out
voluminous debug output that begins with "BUG: ..." and which syslog output
can be used by kernel developers to figure out the precise locking scenario.

What does the lock validator do?  It "observes" and maps all locking rules as
they occur dynamically (as triggered by the kernel's natural use of spinlocks,
rwlocks, mutexes and rwsems).  Whenever the lock validator subsystem detects a
new locking scenario, it validates this new rule against the existing set of
rules.  If this new rule is consistent with the existing set of rules then the
new rule is added transparently and the kernel continues as normal.  If the
new rule could create a deadlock scenario then this condition is printed out.

When determining validity of locking, all possible "deadlock scenarios" are
considered: assuming arbitrary number of CPUs, arbitrary irq context and task
context constellations, running arbitrary combinations of all the existing
locking scenarios.  In a typical system this means millions of separate
scenarios.  This is why we call it a "locking correctness" validator - for all
rules that are observed the lock validator proves it with mathematical
certainty that a deadlock could not occur (assuming that the lock validator
implementation itself is correct and its internal data structures are not
corrupted by some other kernel subsystem).  [see more details and conditionals
of this statement in include/linux/lockdep.h and
Documentation/lockdep-design.txt]

Furthermore, this "all possible scenarios" property of the validator also
enables the finding of complex, highly unlikely multi-CPU multi-context races
via single single-context rules, increasing the likelyhood of finding bugs
drastically.  In practical terms: the lock validator already found a bug in
the upstream kernel that could only occur on systems with 3 or more CPUs, and
which needed 3 very unlikely code sequences to occur at once on the 3 CPUs.
That bug was found and reported on a single-CPU system (!).  So in essence a
race will be found "piecemail-wise", triggering all the necessary components
for the race, without having to reproduce the race scenario itself!  In its
short existence the lock validator found and reported many bugs before they
actually caused a real deadlock.

To further increase the efficiency of the validator, the mapping is not per
"lock instance", but per "lock-class".  For example, all struct inode objects
in the kernel have inode->inotify_mutex.  If there are 10,000 inodes cached,
then there are 10,000 lock objects.  But ->inotify_mutex is a single "lock
type", and all locking activities that occur against ->inotify_mutex are
"unified" into this single lock-class.  The advantage of the lock-class
approach is that all historical ->inotify_mutex uses are mapped into a single
(and as narrow as possible) set of locking rules - regardless of how many
different tasks or inode structures it took to build this set of rules.  The
set of rules persist during the lifetime of the kernel.

To see the rough magnitude of checking that the lock validator does, here's a
portion of /proc/lockdep_stats, fresh after bootup:

 lock-classes:                            694 [max: 2048]
 direct dependencies:                  1598 [max: 8192]
 indirect dependencies:               17896
 all direct dependencies:             16206
 dependency chains:                    1910 [max: 8192]
 in-hardirq chains:                      17
 in-softirq chains:                     105
 in-process chains:                    1065
 stack-trace entries:                 38761 [max: 131072]
 combined max dependencies:         2033928
 hardirq-safe locks:                     24
 hardirq-unsafe locks:                  176
 softirq-safe locks:                     53
 softirq-unsafe locks:                  137
 irq-safe locks:                         59
 irq-unsafe locks:                      176

The lock validator has observed 1598 actual single-thread locking patterns,
and has validated all possible 2033928 distinct locking scenarios.

More details about the design of the lock validator can be found in
Documentation/lockdep-design.txt, which can also found at:

Temporarily add EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL and EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL_GPL.  These
will be used as a transition measure for symbols that aren't used in the
kernel and are on the way out.  When a module uses such a symbol, a warning
is printk'd at modprobe time.

The main reason for removing unused exports is size: eacho export takes
roughly between 100 and 150 bytes of kernel space in the binary.  This
patch gives users the option to immediately get this size gain via a config
option.

DEBUG_MUTEX flag is on by default in current kernel configuration.

During performance testing, we saw mutex debug functions like
mutex_debug_check_no_locks_freed (called by kfree()) is expensive as it
goes through a global list of memory areas with mutex lock and do the
checking.  For benchmarks such as Volanomark and Hackbench, we have seen
more than 40% drop in performance on some platforms.  We suggest to set
DEBUG_MUTEX off by default.  Or at least do that later when we feel that
the mutex changes in the current code have stabilized.
