BUG: headers with BUG/BUG_ON etc. need linux/bug.h

2012-03-04T22:54:34Z

If a header file is making use of BUG, BUG_ON, BUILD_BUG_ON, or any other BUG variant in a static inline (i.e. not in a #define) then that header really should be including and not just expecting it to be implicitly present. We can make this change risk-free, since if the files using these headers didn't have exposure to linux/bug.h already, they would have been causing compile failures/warnings.

locking, kprobes: Annotate the hash locks and kretprobe.lock as raw

2011-09-13T09:11:45Z

The kprobe locks can be taken in atomic context and therefore cannot be preempted on -rt - annotate it. In mainline this change documents the low level nature of the lock - otherwise there's no functional difference. Lockdep and Sparse checking will work as usual.

kprobes: Use text_poke_smp_batch for unoptimizing

2010-12-06T16:59:32Z

Use text_poke_smp_batch() on unoptimization path for reducing the number of stop_machine() issues. If the number of unoptimizing probes is more than MAX_OPTIMIZE_PROBES(=256), kprobes unoptimizes first MAX_OPTIMIZE_PROBES probes and kicks optimizer for remaining probes.

kprobes: Use text_poke_smp_batch for optimizing

2010-12-06T16:59:31Z

Use text_poke_smp_batch() in optimization path for reducing the number of stop_machine() issues. If the number of optimizing probes is more than MAX_OPTIMIZE_PROBES(=256), kprobes optimizes first MAX_OPTIMIZE_PROBES probes and kicks optimizer for remaining probes. Changes in v5: - Use kick_kprobe_optimizer() instead of directly calling schedule_delayed_work(). - Rescheduling optimizer outside of kprobe mutex lock. Changes in v2: - Allocate code buffer and parameters in arch_init_kprobes() instead of using static arraies. - Merge previous max optimization limit patch into this patch. So, this patch introduces upper limit of optimization at once.

kprobes: Jump optimization sysctl interface

2010-02-25T16:49:25Z

Add /proc/sys/debug/kprobes-optimization sysctl which enables and disables kprobes jump optimization on the fly for debugging.

kprobes: Introduce kprobes jump optimization

2010-02-25T16:49:24Z

Introduce kprobes jump optimization arch-independent parts. Kprobes uses breakpoint instruction for interrupting execution flow, on some architectures, it can be replaced by a jump instruction and interruption emulation code. This gains kprobs' performance drastically. To enable this feature, set CONFIG_OPTPROBES=y (default y if the arch supports OPTPROBE). Changes in v9: - Fix a bug to optimize probe when enabling. - Check nearby probes can be optimize/unoptimize when disarming/arming kprobes, instead of registering/unregistering. This will help kprobe-tracer because most of probes on it are usually disabled. Changes in v6: - Cleanup coding style for readability. - Add comments around get/put_online_cpus(). Changes in v5: - Use get_online_cpus()/put_online_cpus() for avoiding text_mutex deadlock.

tracing: remove notrace from __kprobes annotation

2009-09-16T03:51:31Z

When ftrace had issues with NMIs, it was needed to annotate all the areas that kprobes had issues with notrace. Now that ftrace is NMI safe, the functions that limit ftrace from tracing are just a small few. Kprobes is too big of a set for ftrace not to trace. Remove the coupling. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt
