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.

getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton

Pull fpu state cleanups from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree streamlines further aspects of FPU handling by eliminating
the prepare_to_copy() complication and moving that logic to
arch_dup_task_struct().It also fixes the FPU dumps in threaded core dumps, removes and old
(and now invalid) assumption plus micro-optimizes the exit path by
avoiding an FPU save for dead tasks."Fixed up trivial add-add conflict in arch/sh/kernel/process.c that came
in because we now do the FPU handling in arch_dup_task_struct() rather
than the legacy (and now gone) prepare_to_copy().* 'x86-fpu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:

x86, xsave: remove thread_has_fpu() bug check in __sanitize_i387_state()

Historical prepare_to_copy() is mostly a no-op, duplicated for majority of
the architectures and the rest following the x86 model of flushing the extended
register state like fpu there.Remove it and use the arch_dup_task_struct() instead.

Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
correctly on ARM:arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to. This is
because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
copy_strings_kernel(). A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
const should be fine.Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.
This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

…it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

The old ctrl in/out routines are non-portable and unsuitable for
cross-platform use. While drivers/sh has already been sanitized, there
is still quite a lot of code that is not. This converts the arch/sh/ bits

This follows the x86 xstate changes and implements a task_xstate slab
cache that is dynamically sized to match one of hard FP/soft FP/FPU-less.This also tidies up and consolidates some of the SH-2A/SH-4 FPU
fragmentation. Now fpu state restorers are commonly defined, with the
init_fpu()/fpu_init() mess reworked to follow the x86 convention.
The fpu_init() register initialization has been replaced by xstate setup
followed by writing out to hardware via the standard restore path.As init_fpu() now performs a slab allocation a secondary lighterweight
restorer is also introduced for the context switch.In the future the DSP state will be rolled in here, too.
More work remains for math emulation and the SH-5 FPU, which presently
uses its own special (UP-only) interfaces.Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt

This adds preliminary support for the SH-4A UBC to the hw-breakpoints API.
Presently only a single channel is implemented, and the ptrace interface
still needs to be converted. This is the first step to cleaning up the
long-standing UBC mess, making the UBC more generally accessible, and
finally making it SMP safe.An additional abstraction will be layered on top of this as with the perf

their own specific UBCs, as many variations exist.Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt

A number of small optimisations to FPU handling, in particular:
- move the task USEDFPU flag from the thread_info flags field (which
is accessed asynchronously to the thread) to a new status field,
which is only accessed by the thread itself. This allows locking to
be removed in most cases, or can be reduced to a preempt_lock().
This mimics the i386 behaviour.- move the modification of regs->sr and thread_info->status flags out
of save_fpu() to __unlazy_fpu(). This gives the compiler a better
chance to optimise things, as well as making save_fpu() symmetrical
with restore_fpu() and init_fpu().- implement prepare_to_copy(), so that when creating a thread, we can
unlazy the FPU prior to copying the thread data structures.Also make sure that the FPU is disabled while in the kernel, in
particular while booting, and for newly created kernel threads,In a very artificial benchmark, the execution time for 2500000
context switches was reduced from 50 to 45 seconds.Signed-off-by: Stuart Menefy

sh port of the sLeAZY-fpu feature currently implemented for some architectures
such us i386.Right now the SH kernel has a 100% lazy fpu behaviour.
This is of course great for applications that have very sporadic or no FPU use.
However for very frequent FPU users... you take an extra trap every context
switch.
The patch below adds a simple heuristic to this code: after 5 consecutive
context switches of FPU use, the lazy behavior is disabled and the context
gets restored every context switch.
After 256 switches, this is reset and the 100% lazy behavior is returned.Tests with LMbench showed no regression.
I saw a little improvement due to the prefetching (~2%).The tests below also show that, with this sLeazy patch, indeed,
the number of FPU exceptions is reduced.
To test this. I hacked the lat_ctx LMBench to use the FPU a little more.sLeasy implementation

Annotate __switch_to() so that the function graph tracer does not try to
trace it. Use __notrace_funcgraph, as opposed to notrace, so that other
tracers can continue to trace __switch_to().The reason that we don't want to trace __switch_to() with the function
graph tracer is because of how the return address stack in task_struct
is implemented. When we enter __switch_to we store the real return
address on prev's ret_stack. When we return from __switch_to() we've
patched the return address on the kernel stack to be
return_to_handler. Calling return_to_handler we do,-> ftrace_return_to_handler()
-> ftrace_pop_return_ftrace()Which tries to pop the real return address from current->ret_stack. The
problem being that we stored the return address on prev->ret_stack, but
current now points to next, and next->ret_stack doesn't contain the
correct return address (and is possibly even empty).Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming

There were a number of issues with the DSP context save/restore code,
mostly left-over relics from when it was introduced on SH3-DSP with
little follow-up testing, resulting in things like task_pt_dspregs()
referencing incorrect state on the stack.This follows the MIPS convention of tracking the DSP state in the
thread_struct and handling the state save/restore in switch_to() and
finish_arch_switch() respectively. The regset interface is also updated,
which allows us to finally be rid of task_pt_dspregs() and the special
cased task_pt_regs().Signed-off-by: Michael Trimarchi
