dynamic_debug: add jump label support

2016-08-04T12:50:07Z

Although dynamic debug is often only used for debug builds, sometimes its enabled for production builds as well. Minimize its impact by using jump labels. This reduces the text section by 7000+ bytes in the kernel image below. It does increase data, but this should only be referenced when changing the direction of the branches, and hence usually not in cache. text data bss dec hex filename 8194852 4879776 925696 14000324 d5a0c4 vmlinux.pre 8187337 4960224 925696 14073257 d6bda9 vmlinux.post Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/d165b465e8c89bc582d973758d40be44c33f018b.1467837322.git.jbaron@akamai.com Signed-off-by: Jason Baron Cc: "David S.

A _lot_ of ->write() instances were open-coding it; some are converted to memdup_user_nul(), a lot more remain... Signed-off-by: Al Viro

lib/dynamic_debug.c: use kstrdup_const

module: add extra argument for parse_params() callback

2015-05-20T07:25:24Z

This adds an extra argument onto parse_params() to be used as a way to make the unused callback a bit more useful and generic by allowing the caller to pass on a data structure of its choice. An example use case is to allow us to easily make module parameters for every module which we will do next. @ parse @ identifier name, args, params, num, level_min, level_max; identifier unknown, param, val, doing; type s16; @@ extern char *parse_args(const char *name, char *args, const struct kernel_param *params, unsigned num, s16 level_min, s16 level_max, + void *arg, int (*unknown)(char *param, char *val, const char *doing + , void *arg )); @ parse_mod @ identifier name, args, params, num, level_min, level_max; identifier unknown, param, val, doing; type s16; @@ char *parse_args(const char *name, char *args, const struct kernel_param *params, unsigned num, s16 level_min, s16 level_max, + void *arg, int (*unknown)(char *param, char *val, const char *doing + , void *arg )) { ... } @ parse_args_found @ expression R, E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6; identifier func; @@ ( R = parse_args(E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6, + NULL, func); | R = parse_args(E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6, + NULL, &func); | R = parse_args(E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6, + NULL, NULL); | parse_args(E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6, + NULL, func); | parse_args(E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6, + NULL, &func); | parse_args(E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6, + NULL, NULL); ) @ parse_args_unused depends on parse_args_found @ identifier parse_args_found.func; @@ int func(char *param, char *val, const char *unused + , void *arg ) { ... } @ mod_unused depends on parse_args_found @ identifier parse_args_found.func; expression A1, A2, A3; @@ - func(A1, A2, A3); + func(A1, A2, A3, NULL); Generated-by: Coccinelle SmPL Cc: cocci@systeme.lip6.fr Cc: Tejun Heo Cc: Arjan van de Ven Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Rusty Russell Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Felipe Contreras Cc: Ewan Milne Cc: Jean Delvare Cc: Hannes Reinecke Cc: Jani Nikula Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Reviewed-by: Tejun Heo Acked-by: Rusty Russell Signed-off-by: Luis R.

lib/dynamic_debug.c: use seq_open_private() instead of seq_open()

2014-10-14T00:18:14Z

Using seq_open_private() removes boilerplate code from ddebug_proc_open(). The resultant code is shorter and easier to follow. This patch does not change any functionality. Signed-off-by: Rob Jones Acked-by: Jason Baron Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

net: print net_device reg_state in netdev_* unless it's registered

2014-07-21T03:38:43Z

This way we'll always know in what status the device is, unless it's running normally (i.e. NETDEV_REGISTERED). Also, emit a warning once in case of a bad reg_state. CC: "David S.
