2011-05-23watchdog: Change the default timeout and configure nmi watchdog period based ↵Mandeep Singh Baines
on watchdog_thresh Before the conversion of the NMI watchdog to perf event, the watchdog timeout was 5 seconds. Now it is 60 seconds. For my particular application, netbooks, 5 seconds was a better timeout. With a short timeout, we catch faults earlier and are able to send back a panic. With a 60 second timeout, the user is unlikely to wait and will instead hit the power button, causing us to lose the panic info. This change configures the NMI period to watchdog_thresh and sets the softlockup_thresh to watchdog_thresh * 2. In addition, watchdog_thresh was reduced to 10 seconds as suggested by Ingo Molnar.

2011-05-23watchdog: Disable watchdog when thresh is zeroMandeep Singh Baines
This restores the previous behavior of softlock_thresh. Currently, setting watchdog_thresh to zero causes the watchdog kthreads to consume a lot of CPU. In addition, the logic of proc_dowatchdog_thresh and proc_dowatchdog_enabled has been factored into proc_dowatchdog.

2011-05-23watchdog: Fix rounding bug in get_sample_period()Mandeep Singh Baines
In get_sample_period(), softlockup_thresh is integer divided by 5 before the multiplication by NSEC_PER_SEC. This results in softlockup_thresh being rounded down to the nearest integer multiple of 5. For example, a softlockup_thresh of 4 rounds down to 0.

2011-05-20sanitize <linux/prefetch.h> usageLinus Torvalds
Commit e66eed651fd1 ("list: remove prefetching from regular list iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h, which uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather obscure header file dependency. So this fixes things up a bit, using grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]') grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]') to guide us in finding files that either need <linux/prefetch.h> inclusion, or have it despite not needing it. There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets many core ones.

2011-05-20extable, core_kernel_data(): Make sure all archs define _sdataSteven Rostedt
A new utility function (core_kernel_data()) is used to determine if a passed in address is part of core kernel data or not. It may or may not return true for RO data, but this utility must work for RW data. Thus both _sdata and _edata must be defined and continuous, without .init sections that may later be freed and replaced by volatile memory (memory that can be freed). This utility function is used to determine if data is safe from ever being freed. Thus it should return true for all RW global data that is not in a module or has been allocated, or false otherwise. Also change core_kernel_data() back to the more precise _sdata condition and document the function.

2011-05-19clockevents: Provide interface to reconfigure an active clock event deviceThomas Gleixner
Some ARM SoCs have clock event devices which have their frequency modified due to frequency scaling. Provide an interface which allows to reconfigure an active device.

2011-05-19module: Use binary search in lookup_symbol()Alessio Igor Bogani
The function is_exported() with its helper function lookup_symbol() are used to verify if a provided symbol is effectively exported by the kernel or by the modules. Now that both have their symbols sorted we can replace a linear search with a binary search which provide a considerably speed-up.

2011-05-19module: undo module RONX protection correctly.Jan Glauber
While debugging I stumbled over two problems in the code that protects module pages. First issue is that disabling the protection before freeing init or unload of a module is not symmetric with the enablement. For instance, if pages are set to RO the page range from module_core to module_core + core_ro_size is protected. If a module is unloaded the page range from module_core to module_core + core_size is set back to RW. So pages that were not set to RO are also changed to RW. This is not critical but IMHO it should be symmetric. Second issue is that while set_memory_rw & set_memory_ro are used for RO/RW changes only set_memory_nx is involved for NX/X. One would await that the inverse function is called when the NX protection should be removed, which is not the case here, unless I'm missing something.

2011-05-19module: deal with alignment issues in built-in module versionsDmitry Torokhov
On m68k natural alignment is 2-byte boundary but we are trying to align structures in __modver section on sizeof(void *) boundary. This causes trouble when we try to access elements in this section in array-like fashion when create "version" attributes for built-in modules. Moreover, as DaveM said, we can't reliably put structures into independent objects, put them into a special section, and then expect array access over them (via the section boundaries) after linking the objects together to just "work" due to variable alignment choices in different situations. The only solution that seems to work reliably is to make an array of plain pointers to the objects in question and put those pointers in the special section.

2011-05-18ftrace: Modify ftrace_set_filter/notrace to take opsSteven Rostedt
Since users of the function tracer can now pick and choose which functions they want to trace agnostically from other users of the function tracer, we need to pass the ops struct to the ftrace_set_filter() functions. The functions ftrace_set_global_filter() and ftrace_set_global_notrace() is added to keep the old filter functions which are used to modify the generic function tracers. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-05-18ftrace: Allow dynamically allocated function tracersSteven Rostedt
Now that functions may be selected individually, it only makes sense that we should allow dynamically allocated trace structures to be traced. This will allow perf to allocate a ftrace_ops structure at runtime and use it to pick and choose which functions that structure will trace. Note, a dynamically allocated ftrace_ops will always be called indirectly instead of being called directly from the mcount in entry.S. This is because there's no safe way to prevent mcount from being preempted before calling the function, unless we modify every entry.S to do so (not likely). Thus, dynamically allocated functions will now be called by the ftrace_ops_list_func() that loops through the ops that are allocated if there are more than one op allocated at a time. This loop is protected with a preempt_disable. To determine if an ftrace_ops structure is allocated or not, a new util function was added to the kernel/extable.c called core_kernel_data(), which returns 1 if the address is between _sdata and _edata.

2011-05-18ftrace: Implement separate user function filteringSteven Rostedt
ftrace_ops that are registered to trace functions can now be agnostic to each other in respect to what functions they trace. Each ops has their own hash of the functions they want to trace and a hash to what they do not want to trace. A empty hash for the functions they want to trace denotes all functions should be traced that are not in the notrace hash. Cc: Paul E.

2011-05-18ftrace: Have global_ops store the functions that are to be tracedSteven Rostedt

2011-05-18ftrace: Add enabled_functions fileSteven Rostedt

2011-05-18ftrace: Use counters to enable functions to traceSteven Rostedt
Every function has its own record that stores the instruction pointer and flags for the function to be traced. There are only two flags: enabled and free. The enabled flag states that tracing for the function has been enabled (actively traced), and the free flag states that the record no longer points to a function and can be used by new functions (loaded modules). These flags are now moved to the MSB of the flags (actually just the top 32bits). The rest of the bits (30 bits) are now used as a ref counter. Everytime a tracer register functions to trace, those functions will have its counter incremented. When tracing is enabled, to determine if a function should be traced, the counter is examined, and if it is non-zero it is set to trace. When a ftrace_ops is registered to trace functions, its hashes are examined. If the ftrace_ops filter_hash count is zero, then all functions are set to be traced, otherwise only the functions in the hash are to be traced. The exception to this is if a function is also in the ftrace_ops notrace_hash. Then that function's counter is not incremented for this ftrace_ops. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
