show_regs() is inherently arch-dependent but it does make sense to print
generic debug information and some archs already do albeit in slightly
different forms. This patch introduces a generic function to print debug
information from show_regs() so that different archs print out the same
information and it's much easier to modify what's printed.show_regs_print_info() prints out the same debug info as dump_stack()
does plus task and thread_info pointers.* Archs which didn't print debug info now do.
alpha, arc, blackfin, c6x, cris, frv, h8300, hexagon, ia64, m32r,
metag, microblaze, mn10300, openrisc, parisc, score, sh64, sparc,
um, xtensa* Already prints debug info. Replaced with show_regs_print_info().
The printed information is superset of what used to be there.arm, arm64, avr32, mips, powerpc, sh32, tile, unicore32, x86
* s390 is special in that it used to print arch-specific information
along with generic debug info. Heiko and Martin think that the
arch-specific extra isn't worth keeping s390 specfic implementation.
Converted to use the generic version.Note that now all archs print the debug info before actual register
dumps.An example BUG() dump follows.

Both dump_stack() and show_stack() are currently implemented by each
architecture. show_stack(NULL, NULL) dumps the backtrace for the
current task as does dump_stack(). On some archs, dump_stack() prints
extra information - pid, utsname and so on - in addition to the
backtrace while the two are identical on other archs.The usages in arch-independent code of the two functions indicate
show_stack(NULL, NULL) should print out bare backtrace while
dump_stack() is used for debugging purposes when something went wrong,
so it does make sense to print additional information on the task which
triggered dump_stack().There's no reason to require archs to implement two separate but mostly
identical functions. It leads to unnecessary subtle information.This patch expands the dummy fallback dump_stack() implementation in
lib/dump_stack.c such that it prints out debug information (taken from
x86) and invokes show_stack(NULL, NULL) and drops arch-specific
dump_stack() implementations in all archs except blackfin. Blackfin's
dump_stack() does something wonky that I don't understand.Debug information can be printed separately by calling
dump_stack_print_info() so that arch-specific dump_stack()
implementation can still emit the same debug information. This is used
in blackfin.This patch brings the following behavior changes.
* On some archs, an extra level in backtrace for show_stack() could be
printed. This is because the top frame was determined in
dump_stack() on those archs while generic dump_stack() can't do that
reliably. It can be compensated by inlining dump_stack() but not
sure whether that'd be necessary.* Most archs didn't use to print debug info on dump_stack(). They do
now.An example WARN dump follows.

...v2: CPU number added to the generic debug info as requested by s390
folks and dropped the s390 specific dump_stack(). This loses %ksp
from the debug message which the maintainers think isn't important
enough to keep the s390-specific dump_stack() implementation.dump_stack_print_info() is moved to kernel/printk.c from
lib/dump_stack.c. Because linkage is per objecct file,
dump_stack_print_info() living in the same lib file as generic
dump_stack() means that archs which implement custom dump_stack()
- at this point, only blackfin - can't use dump_stack_print_info()
as that will bring in the generic version of dump_stack() too. v1

breakage was reported by Fengguang Wu.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

The self-modifying code that updates the TLB handler at start-up has
a subtle ordering requirement: the DTLB handler must be the last thing
changed.What I was seeing was the following:
i) The DTLB handler was updated
ii) The following printk caused a TLB miss and the look-up resulted
in the page containing itlb_vector (0xc0000a00) being bounced from
the TLB.
iii) The subsequent access to itlb_vector caused a TLB miss and reload
of the page containing itlb_vector from the page tables.
iv) But this reload of the page in iii) was being done by the "new"
DTLB-miss handler which resulted (correctly) in the page flags being
set to read-only; the subsequent write-access to itlb_vector thus
resulted in a page (access) fault.This is easily remedied if we ensure that the boot-time DTLB-miss handler
continues running until the very last bit of self-modifying code has been
executed. This patch should ensure that the very last thing updated is the
DTLB-handler itself.Signed-off-by: Jonas Bonn

vmalloc'ed pages are faulted into a process' page tables on demand. In
order to facilitate this, do_page_fault needs to know whether it was
called via a page fault exception or a TLB-miss exception.This patch adds a wrapper around the _x_page_fault_handler entry points
that the TLB-miss exceptions can call into in order to have the relevant
parameter set to satisfy do_page_fault.This fixes a bug and is "good enough" for now. That said, this whole
handling of vmalloc needs to be audited for correctness at some point.Signed-off-by: Jonas Bonn

Pull signal handling cleanups from Al Viro:
"sigaltstack infrastructure + conversion for x86, alpha and um,
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE infrastructure.Note that there are several conflicts between "unify
SS_ONSTACK/SS_DISABLE definitions" and UAPI patches in mainline;
resolution is trivial - just remove definitions of SS_ONSTACK and
SS_DISABLED from arch/*/uapi/asm/signal.h; they are all identical and
include/uapi/linux/signal.h contains the unified variant."Fixed up conflicts as per Al.
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal:
alpha: switch to generic sigaltstack
new helpers: __save_altstack/__compat_save_altstack, switch x86 and um to those
generic compat_sys_sigaltstack()
introduce generic sys_sigaltstack(), switch x86 and um to it
new helper: compat_user_stack_pointer()
new helper: restore_altstack()
unify SS_ONSTACK/SS_DISABLE definitions
new helper: current_user_stack_pointer()
missing user_stack_pointer() instances
Bury the conditionals from kernel_thread/kernel_execve series

All architectures have
CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_THREAD
CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_EXECVE
__ARCH_WANT_SYS_EXECVE
None of them have __ARCH_WANT_KERNEL_EXECVE and there are only two callers
of kernel_execve() (which is a trivial wrapper for do_execve() now) left.
Kill the conditionals and make both callers use do_execve().Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Pull big execve/kernel_thread/fork unification series from Al Viro:
"All architectures are converted to new model. Quite a bit of that
stuff is actually shared with architecture trees; in such cases it's
literally shared branch pulled by both, not a cherry-pick.A lot of ugliness and black magic is gone (-3KLoC total in this one):
- kernel_thread()/kernel_execve()/sys_execve() redesign.
We don't do syscalls from kernel anymore for either kernel_thread()
or kernel_execve():kernel_thread() is essentially clone(2) with callback run before we
return to userland, the callbacks either never return or do
successful do_execve() before returning.kernel_execve() is a wrapper for do_execve() - it doesn't need to
do transition to user mode anymore.As a result kernel_thread() and kernel_execve() are
arch-independent now - they live in kernel/fork.c and fs/exec.c
resp. sys_execve() is also in fs/exec.c and it's completely
architecture-independent.- daemonize() is gone, along with its parts in fs/*.c
- struct pt_regs * is no longer passed to do_fork/copy_process/
copy_thread/do_execve/search_binary_handler/->load_binary/do_coredump.- sys_fork()/sys_vfork()/sys_clone() unified; some architectures
still need wrappers (ones with callee-saved registers not saved in
pt_regs on syscall entry), but the main part of those suckers is in
kernel/fork.c now."* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal: (113 commits)
do_coredump(): get rid of pt_regs argument
print_fatal_signal(): get rid of pt_regs argument

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Lots of activity:211 files changed, 8328 insertions(+), 4116 deletions(-)
most of it on the tooling side.
Main changes:
* ftrace enhancements and fixes from Steve Rostedt.
* uprobes fixes, cleanups and preparation for the ARM port from Oleg
Nesterov.* UAPI fixes, from David Howels - prepares the arch/x86 UAPI
transition* Separate perf tests into multiple objects, one per test, from Jiri
Olsa.* Make hardware event translations available in sysfs, from Jiri
Olsa.* Fixes to /proc/pid/maps parsing, preparatory to supporting data
maps, from Namhyung Kim* Implement ui_progress for GTK, from Namhyung Kim
* Add framework for automated perf_event_attr tests, where tools with
different command line options will be run from a 'perf test', via
python glue, and the perf syscall will be intercepted to verify
that the perf_event_attr fields set by the tool are those expected,
from Jiri Olsa* Add a 'link' method for hists, so that we can have the leader with
buckets for all the entries in all the hists. This new method is
now used in the default 'diff' output, making the sum of the
'baseline' column be 100%, eliminating blind spots.* libtraceevent fixes for compiler warnings trying to make perf it
build on some distros, like fedora 14, 32-bit, some of the warnings
really pointed to real bugs.* Add a browser for 'perf script' and make it available from the
report and annotate browsers. It does filtering to find the
scripts that handle events found in the perf.data file used. From
Feng Tang* perf inject changes to allow showing where a task sleeps, from
Andrew Vagin.* Makefile improvements from Namhyung Kim.
* Add --pre and --post command hooks in 'stat', from Peter Zijlstra.
* Don't stop synthesizing threads when one vanishes, this is for the
existing threads when we start a tool like trace.* Use sched:sched_stat_runtime to provide a thread summary, this
produces the same output as the 'trace summary' subcommand of
tglx's original "trace" tool.* Support interrupted syscalls in 'trace'
* Add an event duration column and filter in 'trace'.
* There are references to the man pages in some tools, so try to
build Documentation when installing, warning the user if that is
not possible, from Borislav Petkov.* Give user better message if precise is not supported, from David
Ahern.* Try to find cross-built objdump path by using the session
environment information in the perf.data file header, from Irina
Tirdea, original patch and idea by Namhyung Kim.* Diplays more output on features check for make V=1, so that one can
figure out what is happening by looking at gcc output, etc. From
Jiri Olsa.* Add on_exit implementation for systems without one, e.g. Android,
from Bernhard Rosenkraenzer.* Only process events for vcpus of interest, helps handling large
number of events, from David Ahern.* Cross compilation fixes for Android, from Irina Tirdea.
* Add documentation on compiling for Android, from Irina Tirdea.
* perf diff improvements from Jiri Olsa.
* Target (task/user/cpu/syswide) handling improvements, from Namhyung
Kim.* Add support in 'trace' for tracing workload given by command line,
from Namhyung Kim.* ... and much more."
