2008-10-16checkpatch: report the real first line of all suspect indentsAndy Whitcroft
We are currently only reporting syspect indents if the conditional is modified but the indent missmatch could be generated by the body changing, make sure we catch both. Also only report the first line of the body, and more importantly make sure we report the raw copy of the line. Finally report the indent levels to make it easier to understand what is wrong.

2008-10-16driver core: basic infrastructure for per-module dynamic debug messagesJason Baron
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.

2008-10-14tracing/fastboot: add a script to visualize the kernel boot process / timeArjan van de Ven
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).

2008-10-14ftrace: objcopy version test for local symbolsSteven Rostedt
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.

2008-10-14ftrace: handle weak symbol functionsSteven Rostedt
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).

2008-10-14ftrace: create __mcount_loc sectionSteven Rostedt
This patch creates a section in the kernel called "__mcount_loc". 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.

2008-10-13Automatic MODULE_ALIAS() for DMI match tables.David Woodhouse
This makes modpost handle MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(dmi, xxxx). I had to change the string pointers in the match table to char arrays, and picked a size of 79 bytes almost at random -- do we need to make it bigger than that? I was a bit concerned about the 'bloat' this introduces into the match tables, but they should all be __initdata so it shouldn't matter too much. (Actually, modpost does go through the relocations and look at most of them; it wouldn't be impossible to make it handle string pointers -- but doesn't seem to be worth the effort, since they're __initdata).

I think the problem comes from "markers: fix duplicate modpost entry" (commit d35cb360c29956510b2fe1a953bd4968536f7216) Especially : - add_marker(mod, marker, fmt); + if (!mod->skip) + add_marker(mod, marker, fmt); } return; fail: Here is a fix that should take care if this problem.

Commit f072181e6403b0fe2e2aa800a005497b748fd284 ("kconfig: drop the ""trying to assign nonexistent symbol" warning") simply dropped the warnings, but it does a little more than that, it also marks the current .config as needed saving, so add this back.

2008-09-29kconfig: fix silentoldconfigzippel@linux-m68k.org
Recent changes to oldconfig have mixed up the silentoldconfig handling, so this fixes that by clearly separating that special mode, e.g. KCONFIG_NOSILENTUPDATE is only relevant here, the .config is written as needed. This will also properly close Bug 11230. Signed-off-by: Roman Zippel <zippel@linux-m68k.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-08-26selinux: add support for installing a dummy policy (v2)Serge E. Hallyn
In August 2006 I posted a patch generating a minimal SELinux policy. This week, David P. Quigley posted an updated version of that as a patch against the kernel. It also had nice logic for auto-installing the policy. Following is David's original patch intro (preserved especially bc it has stats on the generated policies): se interested in the changes there were only two significant changes. The first is that the iteration through the list of classes used NULL as a sentinel value. The problem with this is that the class_to_string array actually has NULL entries in its table as place holders for the user space object classes. The second change was that it would seem at some point the initial sids table was NULL terminated. This is no longer the case so that iteration has to be done on array length instead of looking for NULL. Some statistics on the policy that it generates: The policy consists of 523 lines which contain no blank lines. Of those 523 lines 453 of them are class, permission, and initial sid definitions. These lines are usually little to no concern to the policy developer since they will not be adding object classes or permissions. Of the remaining 70 lines there is one type, one role, and one user statement. The remaining lines are broken into three portions. The first group are TE allow rules which make up 29 of the remaining lines, the second is assignment of labels to the initial sids which consist of 27 lines, and file system labeling statements which are the remaining 11. In addition to the policy.conf generated there is a single file_contexts file containing two lines which labels the entire system with base_t. This policy generates a policy.23 binary that is 7920 bytes. (then a few versions later...): The new policy is 587 lines (stripped of blank lines) with 476 of those lines being the boilerplate that I mentioned last time. The remaining 111 lines have the 3 lines for type, user, and role, 70 lines for the allow rules (one for each object class including user space object classes), 27 lines to assign types to the initial sids, and 11 lines for file system labeling. The policy binary is 9194 bytes. Changelog: Aug 26: Added Documentation/SELinux.txt Aug 26: Incorporated a set of comments by Stephen Smalley: 1. auto-setup SELINUXTYPE=dummy 2. don't auto-install if selinux is enabled with non-dummy policy 3. don't re-compute policy version 4. /sbin/setfiles not /usr/sbin/setfiles Aug 22: As per JMorris comments, made sure make distclean cleans up the mdp directory. Removed a check for file_contexts which is now created in the same file as the check, making it superfluous.
