* [PATCH] Kprobes: Incorrect handling of probes on ret/lret instructionPrasanna S Panchamukhi2005-05-052-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Kprobes could not handle the insertion of a probe on the ret/lret instruction and used to oops after single stepping since kprobes was modifying eip/rip incorrectly. Adjustment of eip/rip is not required after single stepping in case of ret/lret instruction, because eip/rip points to the correct location after execution of the ret/lret instruction. This patch fixes the above problem. Signed-off-by: Prasanna S Panchamukhi <prasanna@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] uml: s390 preparation, sighandler interface abstractionBodo Stroesser2005-05-053-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | s390 passes parameters in registers. So the only safe way to find out the address of signal context, error-address and error-type (trap_no), which are passed to signal handlers as parameters, is to declare these parameters. So I inserted an subarch-specific macro which holds the declaration of parameters for signal handlers.

* [PATCH] uml: s390 preparation, checksumming done in arch codeBodo Stroesser2005-05-055-59/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Checksum handling largely depends on the subarch. Thus, I renamed i386 arch_csum_partial in arch/um/sys-i386/checksum.S back to csum_partial, removed csum_partial from arch/um/kernel/checksum.c and shifted EXPORT_SYMBOL(csum_partial) to arch/um/sys-i386/ksyms.c. Then, csum_partial_copy_to and csum_partial_copy_from were shifted from arch/um/kernel/checksum.c to arch/um/include/sysdep-i386/checksum.h and inserted in the calling functions csum_partial_copy_from_user() and csum_and_copy_to_user(). Now, arch/um/kernel/checksum.c is empty and removed.

* [PATCH] uml: Fix SIGWINCH relayingJeff Dike2005-05-058-7/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes SIGWINCH work again, and fixes a couple of SIGWINCH-associated crashes. First, the sigio thread disables SIGWINCH because all hell breaks loose if it ever gets one and tries to call the signal handling code. Second, there was a problem with deferencing tty structs after they were freed. The SIGWINCH support for a tty wasn't being turned off or freed after the tty went away.

* [PATCH] uml: S390 preparation, abstract host page fault dataBodo Stroesser2005-05-0521-107/+263
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes the arch-specific fault/trap-infos from thread and skas-regs. It adds a new struct faultinfo, that is arch-specific defined in sysdep/faultinfo.h. The structure is inserted in thread.arch and thread.regs.skas and thread.regs.tt Now, segv and other trap-handlers can copy the contents from regs.X.faultinfo to thread.arch.faultinfo with one simple assignment. Also, the number of macros necessary is reduced to FAULT_ADDRESS(struct faultinfo) extracts the faulting address from faultinfo FAULT_WRITE(struct faultinfo) extracts the "is_write" flag SEGV_IS_FIXABLE(struct faultinfo) is true for the fixable segvs, i.e. (TRAP == 14) on i386 UPT_FAULTINFO(regs) result is (struct faultinfo *) to the faultinfo in regs->skas.faultinfo GET_FAULTINFO_FROM_SC(struct faultinfo, struct sigcontext *) copies the relevant parts of the sigcontext to struct faultinfo. On SIGSEGV, call user_signal() instead of handle_segv(), if the architecture provides the information needed in PTRACE_FAULTINFO, or if PTRACE_FAULTINFO is missing, because segv-stub will provide the info. The benefit of the change is, that in case of a non-fixable SIGSEGV, we can give user processes a SIGSEGV, instead of possibly looping on pagefault handling. Since handle_segv() sikked arch_fixup() implicitly by passing ip==0 to segv(), I changed segv() to call arch_fixup() only, if !is_user.

* [PATCH] uml: start cross-build support : mk_user_constantsAl Viro2005-05-055-9/+158
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Beginning of cross-build fixes. Instead of expecting that mk_user_constants (compiled and executed on the build box) will see the sizeof, etc. for target box, we do what every architecture already does for asm-offsets. Namely, have user-offsets.c compiled *for* *target* into user-offsets.s and sed it into the header with relevant constants. We don't need to reinvent any wheels - all tools are already there. This patch deals with mk_user_constants. It doesn't assume any relationship between target and build environment anymore - we pick all defines we need from user-offsets.h. Later patches will deal with the rest of mk_... helpers in the same way.

* [PATCH] x86_64: make string func definition work as intendedPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2005-05-053-20/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In include/asm-x86_64/string.h there are such comments: /* Use C out of line version for memcmp */ #define memcmp __builtin_memcmp int memcmp(const void * cs,const void * ct,size_t count); This would mean that if the compiler does not decide to use __builtin_memcmp, it emits a call to memcmp to be satisfied by the C out-of-line version in lib/string.c. What happens is that after preprocessing, in lib/string.i you may find the definition of "__builtin_strcmp". Actually, by accident, in the object you will find the definition of strcmp and such (maybe a trick intended to redirect calls to __builtin_memcmp to the default memcmp when the definition is not expanded); however, this particular case is not a documented feature as far as I can see. Also, the EXPORT_SYMBOL does not work, so it's duplicated in the arch. I simply added some #undef to lib/string.c and removed the (now duplicated) exports in x86-64 and UML/x86_64 subarchs (the second ones are introduced by another patch I just posted for -mm).

I can't use it verbatim because it depends on a special vmalloc-like area for modules, which for now (maybe that's to fix, I guess not) UML/x86-64 has not.

* [PATCH] x86 stack initialisation fixAlexander Nyberg2005-05-051-6/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The recent change fix-crash-in-entrys-restore_all.patch childregs->esp = esp; p->thread.esp = (unsigned long) childregs; - p->thread.esp0 = (unsigned long) (childregs+1); + p->thread.esp0 = (unsigned long) (childregs+1) - 8; p->thread.eip = (unsigned long) ret_from_fork; introduces an inconsistency between esp and esp0 before the task is run the first time. esp0 is no longer the actual start of the stack, but 8 bytes off. This shows itself clearly in a scenario when a ptracer that is set to also ptrace eventual children traces program1 which then clones thread1. Now the ptracer wants to modify the registers of thread1. The x86 ptrace implementation bases it's knowledge about saved user-space registers upon p->thread.esp0. But this will be a few bytes off causing certain writes to the kernel stack to overwrite a saved kernel function address making the kernel when actually running thread1 jump out into user-space. Very spectacular. The testcase I've used is: /* start with strace -f ./a.out */ #include <pthread.h> #include <stdio.h> void *do_thread(void *p) { for (;;); } int main() { pthread_t one; pthread_create(&one, NULL, &do_thread, NULL); for (;;); return 0; } So, my solution is to instead of just adjusting esp0 that creates an inconsitent state I adjust where the user-space registers are saved with -8 bytes. This gives us the wanted extra bytes on the start of the stack and esp0 is now correct. This solves the issues I saw from the original testcase from Mateusz Berezecki and has survived testing here. I think this should go into -mm a round or two first however as there might be some cruft around depending on pt_regs lying on the start of the stack. That however would have broken with the first change too! It's actually a 2-line diff but I had to move the comment of why the -8 bytes are there a few lines up.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the p_nodepda and p_subnodepda pointers from the pda_s structure. And then define a new per-cpu pointer to the nodepda and export it so that it can be accessed by kernel modules.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - pfm_context_load(): change return value from EINVAL to EBUSY when context is already loaded. - pfm_check_task_state(): pass test if context state is MASKED. It is safe to give access on PFM_CTX_MASKED because the PMU state (PMD) is stable and saved in software state. This helps multiplexing programs such as the example given in libpfm-3.1.

| | * [IA64] perfmon & PAL_HALT againStephane Eranian2005-05-032-3/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The pmu_active test is based on the values of PSR.up. THIS IS THE PROBLEM as it does not take into account the lazy restore logic which is as follow (simplified): context switch out: save PMDs clear psr.up release ownership context switch in: if (ctx->last_cpu == smp_processor_id() && ctx->cpu_activation == cpu_activation) { set psr.up return } restore PMD restore PMC ctx->last_cpu = smp_processor_id(); ctx->activation = ++cpu_activation; set psr.up The key here is that on context switch out, we clear psr.up and on context switch in we check if nobody else used the PMU on that processor since last time we came. In that case, we assume the PMD/PMC are ours and we simply reactivate. The Caliper problem is that between the moment we context switch out and the moment we come back, nobody effectively used the PMU BUT the processor went idle. Normally this would have no incidence but PAL_HALT does alter the PMU registers. In default_idle(), the test on psr.up is not strong enough to cover this case and we go into PAL which trashed the PMU resgisters. When we come back we falsely assume that this is our state yet it is corrupted. Very nasty indeed. To avoid the problem it is necessary to forbid going to PAL_HALT as soon as perfmon installs some valid state in the PMU registers. This happens with an application attaches a context to a thread or CPU. It is not enough to check the psr/dcr bits. Hence I propose the attached patch. It adds a callback in process.c to modify the condition to enter PAL on idle. Basically, now it is conditional to pal_halt=1 AND perfmon saying it is okay.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jack Steiner uncovered some opportunities for improvement in the MCA recovery code. 1) Set bsp to save registers on the kernel stack. 2) Disable interrupts while in the MCA recovery code. 3) Change the way the user process is killed, to avoid a panic in schedule. Testing shows that these changes make the recovery code much more reliable with the 2.6.12 kernel. Signed-off-by: Russ Anderson <rja@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
