* kbuild: Fixup deb-pkg target to generate separate firmware debJonathan McDowell2008-11-091-2/+22
| | | | | | | | | | The below is a simplistic fix for "make deb-pkg"; it splits the firmware out to a linux-firmware-image package and adds an (unversioned) Suggests to the linux package for this firmware.

* Fix incompatibility with versions of Perl less than 5.6.0Jeremy Huntwork2008-10-292-13/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix headers_install.pl and headers_check.pl to be compatible with versions of Perl less than 5.6.0. It has been tested with Perl 5.005_03 and 5.8.8. I realize this may not be an issue for most people, but there will still be some that hit it, I imagine. There are three basic issues: 1. Prior to 5.6.0 open() only used 2 arguments, and the versions of the scripts in 2.6.27.1 use 3. 2. 5.6.0 also introduced the ability to use uninitialized scalar variables as file handles, which the current scripts make use of. 3. Lastly, 5.6.0 also introduced the pragma 'use warnings'. We can use the -w switch and be backwards compatible.

* kbuild: tag with git revision when git describe is missingTrent Piepho2008-10-291-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | setlocalversion used to use an abbreviated git commit sha1 to generate the tag. This was changed in commit d882421f4e08ddf0a94245cdbe516db260aa6f41 "kbuild: change CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO to use a git-describe-ish format" to use git describe to come up with a tag. Which is nice, but git describe sometimes can't describe the revision. Commit 56b2f0706d82535fd8d85503f2dcc0be40c8e55d ("setlocalversion: do not describe if there is nothing to describe") addressed this, but there is still no tag generated. So, generate a plain abbreviated sha1 tag like setlocalversion used to when git describe comes up short.

With the exception of modules, but modules know how to handle that case. With the dynamic ftrace tracer, we need to make sure that it does not try to modify code that no longer exists. The only safe section is .text. This patch changes the recordmcount script to only record the mcount calls in the .text sections.

This works well when ARCH=i386 or ARCH=x86_64 but does not handle the case of ARCH=x86. This patch adds a parameter to the function to pass in the number of bits of the architecture.

But they are displayed in random (perl hash) order. Let's sort the pids by the start time of their first initcall instead. This helps trace module initcalls, where each has a separate pid. bootgraph.pl will show module initcalls during the initramfs; it may also be adapted to show subsequent module initcalls.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If you use KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG (even with empty file) you get broken allmodconfig/allyesconfig; CONFIG_MODULES gets turned off, with obvious massive fallout. Breakage had been introduced when conf_set_all_new_symbols() got used for allmodconfig et.al. What happens is that sym_calc_value(modules_sym) done in conf_read_simple() sets SYMBOL_VALID on both modules_sym and MODULES. When we get to conf_set_all_new_symbols(), we set sym->def[S_DEF_USER] on everything, but it has no effect on sym->curr for the symbols that already have SYMBOL_VALID - these are stuck. Solution: use sym_clear_all_valid() in there. Note that it makes reevaluation of modules_sym redundant - sym_clear_all_valid() will do that itself.

| * tracing/fastboot: add a script to visualize the kernel boot process / timeArjan van de Ven2008-10-141-0/+138
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When optimizing the kernel boot time, it's very valuable to visualize what is going on at which time. In addition, with the fastboot asynchronous initcall level, it's very valuable to see which initcall gets run where and when. This patch adds a script to turn a dmesg into a SVG graph (that can be shown with tools such as InkScape, Gimp or Firefox) and a small change to the initcall code to print the PID of the thread calling the initcall (so that the script can work out the parallelism).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The --globalize-symbols option came out in objcopy version 2.17. If the kernel is being compiled on a system with a lower version of objcopy, then we can not use the globalize / localize trick to link to symbols pointing to local functions. This patch tests the version of objcopy and will only use the trick if the version is greater than or equal to 2.17. Otherwise, if an object has only local functions within a section, it will give a nice warning and recommend the user to upgrade their objcopy. Leaving the symbols unrecorded is not that big of a deal, since the mcount record method changes the actual mcount code to be a simple "ret" without recording registers or anything.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During tests and checks, I've discovered that there were failures to convert mcount callers into nops. Looking deeper into these failures, code that was attempted to be changed was not an mcount caller. The current code only updates if the code being changed is what it expects, but I still investigate any time there is a failure. What was happening is that a weak symbol was being used as a reference for other mcount callers. That weak symbol was also referenced elsewhere so the offsets were using the strong symbol and not the function symbol that it was referenced from. This patch changes the setting up of the mcount_loc section to search for a global function that is not weak. It will pick a local over a weak but if only a weak is found in a section, a warning is printed and the mcount location is not recorded (just to be safe).

This will hold a list of pointers to the mcount relocation for each call site of mcount. For example: objdump -dr init/main.o [...] Disassembly of section .text: 0000000000000000 <do_one_initcall>: 0: 55 push %rbp [...] 000000000000017b <init_post>: 17b: 55 push %rbp 17c: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp 17f: 53 push %rbx 180: 48 83 ec 08 sub $0x8,%rsp 184: e8 00 00 00 00 callq 189 <init_post+0xe> 185: R_X86_64_PC32 mcount+0xfffffffffffffffc [...] We will add a section to point to each function call. .section __mcount_loc,"a",@progbits [...] .quad .text + 0x185 [...] The offset to of the mcount call site in init_post is an offset from the start of the section, and not the start of the function init_post. The mcount relocation is at the call site 0x185 from the start of the .text section. .text + 0x185 == init_post + 0xa We need a way to add this __mcount_loc section in a way that we do not lose the relocations after final link. The .text section here will be attached to all other .text sections after final link and the offsets will be meaningless. We need to keep track of where these .text sections are. To do this, we use the start of the first function in the section. do_one_initcall. We can make a tmp.s file with this function as a reference to the start of the .text section. .section __mcount_loc,"a",@progbits [...] .quad do_one_initcall + 0x185 [...] Then we can compile the tmp.s into a tmp.o gcc -c tmp.s -o tmp.o And link it into back into main.o. ld -r main.o tmp.o -o tmp_main.o mv tmp_main.o main.o But we have a problem. What happens if the first function in a section is not exported, and is a static function. The linker will not let the tmp.o use it. This case exists in main.o as well. Disassembly of section .init.text: 0000000000000000 <set_reset_devices>: 0: 55 push %rbp 1: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp 4: e8 00 00 00 00 callq 9 <set_reset_devices+0x9> 5: R_X86_64_PC32 mcount+0xfffffffffffffffc The first function in .init.text is a static function. 00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices 000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices 0000000000000000 t set_reset_devices The lowercase 't' means that set_reset_devices is local and is not exported. If we simply try to link the tmp.o with the set_reset_devices we end up with two symbols: one local and one global. .section __mcount_loc,"a",@progbits .quad set_reset_devices + 0x10 00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices 000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices 0000000000000000 t set_reset_devices U set_reset_devices We still have an undefined reference to set_reset_devices, and if we try to compile the kernel, we will end up with an undefined reference to set_reset_devices, or even worst, it could be exported someplace else, and then we will have a reference to the wrong location. To handle this case, we make an intermediate step using objcopy. We convert set_reset_devices into a global exported symbol before linking it with tmp.o and set it back afterwards. 00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices 000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices 0000000000000000 T set_reset_devices 00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices 000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices 0000000000000000 T set_reset_devices 00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices 000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices 0000000000000000 t set_reset_devices Now we have a section in main.o called __mcount_loc that we can place somewhere in the kernel using vmlinux.ld.S and access it to convert all these locations that call mcount into nops before starting SMP and thus, eliminating the need to do this with kstop_machine.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to add a flag for all code that is in the drivers/staging/ directory to prevent all other kernel developers from worrying about issues here, and to notify users that the drivers might not be as good as they are normally used to. Based on code from Andreas Gruenbacher and Jeff Mahoney to provide a TAINT flag for the support level of a kernel module in the Novell enterprise kernel release. This is the code that actually modifies the modules, adding the flag to any files in the drivers/staging directory.

| * | | driver core: basic infrastructure for per-module dynamic debug messagesJason Baron2008-10-163-2/+75
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Base infrastructure to enable per-module debug messages. I've introduced CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG, which when enabled centralizes control of debugging statements on a per-module basis in one /proc file, currently, <debugfs>/dynamic_printk/modules. When, CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG, is not set, debugging statements can still be enabled as before, often by defining 'DEBUG' for the proper compilation unit. Thus, this patch set has no affect when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is not set. The infrastructure currently ties into all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls. That is, if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is set, all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls can be dynamically enabled/disabled on a per-module basis. Future plans include extending this functionality to subsystems, that define their own debug levels and flags. Usage: Dynamic debugging is controlled by the debugfs file, <debugfs>/dynamic_printk/modules. This file contains a list of the modules that can be enabled. The format of the file is as follows: <module_name> <enabled=0/1> . . . <module_name> : Name of the module in which the debug call resides <enabled=0/1> : whether the messages are enabled or not For example: snd_hda_intel enabled=0 fixup enabled=1 driver enabled=0 Enable a module: $echo "set enabled=1 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules Disable a module: $echo "set enabled=0 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules Enable all modules: $echo "set enabled=1 all" > dynamic_printk/modules Disable all modules: $echo "set enabled=0 all" > dynamic_printk/modules Finally, passing "dynamic_printk" at the command line enables debugging for all modules. This mode can be turned off via the above disable command.
