Add the bitfield API which can be used to annotate bitfields in structs and get rid of false positive reports. According to Al Viro, the syntax we were using (putting #ifdef inside macro arguments) was not valid C. He also suggested using begin/end markers instead, which is what we do now.

2009-06-15kmemcheck: add opcode self-testing at bootVegard Nossum
We've had some troubles in the past with weird instructions. This patch adds a self-test framework which can be used to verify that a certain set of opcodes are decoded correctly. Of course, the opcodes which are not tested can still give the wrong results. In short, this is just a safeguard to catch unintentional changes in the opcode decoder. It does not mean that errors can't still occur! [rebased for mainline inclusion] Signed-off-by: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com>

2009-06-15kmemcheck: add mm functionsVegard Nossum
With kmemcheck enabled, the slab allocator needs to do this: 1. Tell kmemcheck to allocate the shadow memory which stores the status of each byte in the allocation proper, e.g. whether it is initialized or uninitialized. 2. Tell kmemcheck which parts of memory that should be marked uninitialized. There are actually a few more states, such as "not yet allocated" and "recently freed". If a slab cache is set up using the SLAB_NOTRACK flag, it will never return memory that can take page faults because of kmemcheck. If a slab cache is NOT set up using the SLAB_NOTRACK flag, callers can still request memory with the __GFP_NOTRACK flag. This does not prevent the page faults from occuring, however, but marks the object in question as being initialized so that no warnings will ever be produced for this object. In addition to (and in contrast to) __GFP_NOTRACK, the __GFP_NOTRACK_FALSE_POSITIVE flag indicates that the allocation should not be tracked _because_ it would produce a false positive. Their values are identical, but need not be so in the future (for example, we could now enable/disable false positives with a config option).

2009-06-15x86: add hooks for kmemcheckVegard Nossum
The hooks that we modify are: - Page fault handler (to handle kmemcheck faults) - Debug exception handler (to hide pages after single-stepping the instruction that caused the page fault) Also redefine memset() to use the optimized version if kmemcheck is enabled. (Thanks to Pekka Enberg for minimizing the impact on the page fault handler.) As kmemcheck doesn't handle MMX/SSE instructions (yet), we also disable the optimized xor code, and rely instead on the generic C implementation in order to avoid false-positive warnings.

2009-06-13kmemcheck: add the kmemcheck coreVegard Nossum
General description: kmemcheck is a patch to the linux kernel that detects use of uninitialized memory. It does this by trapping every read and write to memory that was allocated dynamically (e.g. using kmalloc()). If a memory address is read that has not previously been written to, a message is printed to the kernel log. Thanks to Andi Kleen for the set_memory_4k() solution. Andrew Morton suggested documenting the shadow member of struct page.

2009-06-13tasklets: new tasklet scheduling functionVegard Nossum
Rationale: kmemcheck needs to be able to schedule a tasklet without touching any dynamically allocated memory _at_ _all_ (since that would lead to a recursive page fault). This tasklet is used for writing the error reports to the kernel log. The new scheduling function avoids touching any other tasklets by inserting the new tasklist as the head of the "tasklet_hi" list instead of on the tail. Also don't wake up the softirq thread lest the scheduler access some tracked memory and we go down with a recursive page fault. In this case, we'd better just wait for the maximum time of 1/HZ for the message to appear. Signed-off-by: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com>

2009-06-12x86: add save_stack_trace_bp() for tracing from a specific stack frameVegard Nossum
This will help kmemcheck (and possibly other debugging tools) since we can now simply pass regs->bp to the stack tracer instead of specifying the number of stack frames to skip, which is unreliable if gcc decides to inline functions, etc. Note that this makes the API incomplete for other architectures, but I expect that those can be updated lazily, e.g. when they need it.

2009-06-11nilfs2: correct exclusion control in nilfs_remount functionRyusuke Konishi
nilfs_remount() changes mount state of a superblock instance. Even though nilfs accesses other superblock instances during mount or remount, the mount state was not properly protected in nilfs_remount(). Moreover, nilfs_remount() has a lock order reversal problem; nilfs_get_sb() holds: 1. bdev->bd_mount_sem 2. sb->s_umount (sget acquires) and nilfs_remount() holds: 1. sb->s_umount (locked by the caller in vfs) 2. bdev->bd_mount_sem To avoid these problems, this patch divides a semaphore protecting super block instances from nilfs->ns_sem, and applies it to the mount state protection in nilfs_remount(). With this change, bd_mount_sem use is removed from nilfs_remount() and the lock order reversal will be resolved. And the new rw-semaphore, nilfs->ns_super_sem will properly protect the mount state except the modification from nilfs_error function.

This simplifies the test function passed on the remaining sget() callsite in nilfs. Instead of checking mount type (i.e. ro-mount/rw-mount/snapshot mount) in the test function passed to sget(), this patch first looks up the nilfs_sb_info struct which the given mount type matches, and then acquires the super block instance holding the nilfs_sb_info.

2009-06-11remove the call to ->write_super in __sync_filesystemChristoph Hellwig
Now that all filesystems provide ->sync_fs methods we can change __sync_filesystem to only call ->sync_fs. This gives us a clear separation between periodic writeouts which are driven by ->write_super and data integrity syncs that go through ->sync_fs. (modulo file_fsync which is also going away) Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

The call to ->write_super from __sync_filesystem will go away, so make sure nilfs2 performs the same actions from inside ->sync_fs. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
