  • deac93df2   lib: Correct printk %pF to work on all architectures ... Browse Code »

    It was introduced by "vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer
    formats" in commit 0fe1ef24f7bd0020f29ffe287dfdb9ead33ca0b2. However,
    the current way its coded doesn't work on parisc64. For two reasons: 1)
    parisc isn't in the #ifdef and 2) parisc has a different format for
    function descriptors

    Make dereference_function_descriptor() more accommodating by allowing
    architecture overrides. I put the three overrides (for parisc64, ppc64
    and ia64) in arch/kernel/module.c because that's where the kernel
    internal linker which knows how to deal with function descriptors sits.

  • a3b81113f   remove support for un-needed _extratext section ... Browse Code »

    When passing a zero address to kallsyms_lookup(), the kernel thought it was
    a valid kernel address, even if it is not. This is because is_ksym_addr()
    called is_kernel_extratext() and checked against labels that don't exist on
    many archs (which default as zero). Since PPC was the only kernel which
    defines _extra_text, (in 2005), and no longer needs it, this patch removes
    _extra_text support.

  • d0aaff979   [PATCH] Kprobes: prevent possible race conditions generic ... Browse Code »

    There are possible race conditions if probes are placed on routines within the
    kprobes files and routines used by the kprobes. For example if you put probe
    on get_kprobe() routines, the system can hang while inserting probes on any
    routine such as do_fork(). Because while inserting probes on do_fork(),
    register_kprobes() routine grabs the kprobes spin lock and executes
    get_kprobe() routine and to handle probe of get_kprobe(), kprobes_handler()
    gets executed and tries to grab kprobes spin lock, and spins forever. This
    patch avoids such possible race conditions by preventing probes on routines
    within the kprobes file and routines used by kprobes.

    I have modified the patches as per Andi Kleen's suggestion to move kprobes
    routines and other routines used by kprobes to a seperate section
    .kprobes.text.

    Also moved page fault and exception handlers, general protection fault to
    .kprobes.text section.

    These patches have been tested on i386, x86_64 and ppc64 architectures, also
    compiled on ia64 and sparc64 architectures.

  • a940199f2   [PATCH] x86_64: Some cleanup in setup64.c ... Browse Code »

    Minor cleanup.

    Move things into their include files, remove obsolete includes, fix
    indentation, remove obsolete special cases etc.

    I also added the per cpu section to asm-generic/sections.h and fixed
    init/main.c to use it.

  • 075d6eb16   [PATCH] ppc32: platform-specific functions missing from kallsyms. ... Browse Code »

    The PPC32 kernel puts platform-specific functions into separate sections so
    that unneeded parts of it can be freed when we've booted and actually
    worked out what we're running on today.

    This makes kallsyms ignore those functions, because they're not between
    _[se]text or _[se]inittext. Rather than teaching kallsyms about the
    various pmac/chrp/etc sections, this patch adds '_[se]extratext' markers
    for kallsyms.

    Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
