2016-05-21T00:58:30Z

samples/kprobes: add a new module parameter

2016-05-21T00:58:30Z

Add a new module parameter which can be used as the symbol name. Without this patch, we can only test the "_do_fork" function with this kernel module. With this patch, the module becomes more flexible; we can test any functions with this module with # insmod kprobe_example.ko symbol="xxx" Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1463535417-29637-1-git-send-email-shijie.huang@arm.com Signed-off-by: Huang Shijie Cc: Petr Mladek Cc: Steve Capper Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kprobes: add the "tls" argument for j_do_fork

2016-05-21T00:58:30Z

Commit 3033f14ab78c ("clone: support passing tls argument via C rather than pt_regs magic") added the tls argument for _do_fork(). This patch adds the "tls" argument for j_do_fork to make it match _do_fork().

The most interesting thing (IMO) this time around is some beginning infrastructural work to allow documents to be written using restructured text. Maybe someday, in a galaxy far far away, we'll be able to eliminate the DocBook dependency and have a much better integrated set of kernel docs. Someday.

[media] samples: v4l: from Documentation to samples directory

2016-05-09T21:34:37Z

With the new autoksyms support, we can run into a situation where the v4l pci skeleton module is the only one using some exported symbols that get dropped because they are never referenced by the kernel otherwise, causing a build problem: ERROR: "vb2_dma_contig_memops" [Documentation/video4linux/v4l2-pci-skeleton.ko] undefined! ERROR: "vb2_dma_contig_init_ctx_attrs" [Documentation/video4linux/v4l2-pci-skeleton.ko] undefined! ERROR: "v4l2_match_dv_timings" [Documentation/video4linux/v4l2-pci-skeleton.ko] undefined! ERROR: "v4l2_find_dv_timings_cap" [Documentation/video4linux/v4l2-pci-skeleton.ko] undefined! ERROR: "v4l2_valid_dv_timings" [Documentation/video4linux/v4l2-pci-skeleton.ko] undefined!

Specifically, we do look in the samples directory for users of symbols, but not the Documentation directory. This solves the build problem by moving the connector sample into the same directory as the other samples.

samples/bpf: add 'pointer to packet' tests

2016-05-06T20:01:54Z

parse_simple.c - packet parser exapmle with single length check that filters out udp packets for port 9 parse_varlen.c - variable length parser that understand multiple vlan headers, ipip, ipip6 and ip options to filter out udp or tcp packets on port 9. The packet is parsed layer by layer with multitple length checks. parse_ldabs.c - classic style of packet parsing using LD_ABS instruction. Same functionality as parse_simple. simple = 24.1Mpps per core varlen = 22.7Mpps ldabs = 21.4Mpps Parser with LD_ABS instructions is slower than full direct access parser which does more packet accesses and checks. These examples demonstrate the choice bpf program authors can make between flexibility of the parser vs speed. Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
