2011-10-31arm: convert core files from module.h to export.hPaul Gortmaker
Many of the core ARM kernel files are not modules, but just including module.h for exporting symbols. Now these files can use the lighter footprint export.h for this role. There are probably lots more, but ARM files of mach-* and plat-* don't get coverage via a simple yesconfig build. They will have to be cleaned up and tested via using their respective configs.

2011-01-15ARM: fix /proc/$PID/stack on SMPRussell King
Rabin Vincent reports: | On SMP, this BUG() in save_stack_trace_tsk() can be easily triggered | from user space by reading /proc/$PID/stack, where $PID is any pid but | the current process: | | if (tsk != current) { | #ifdef CONFIG_SMP | /* | * What guarantees do we have here that 'tsk' | * is not running on another CPU? | */ | BUG(); | #else Fix this by replacing the BUG() with an entry to terminate the stack trace, returning an empty trace - I'd rather not expose the dwarf unwinder to a volatile stack of a running thread.

2010-11-07ARM: 6468/1: backtrace: fix calculation of thread stack baseWill Deacon
When unwinding stack frames we must take care not to unwind areas of memory that lie outside of the known extent of the stack. This patch fixes an incorrect calculation of the stack base where THREAD_SIZE is added to the stack pointer after it has already been aligned to this value. Since the ALIGN macro performs this addition internally, we end up overshooting the base by 8k.

2009-07-21[ARM] 5613/1: implement CALLER_ADDRESSxUwe Kleine-König
From: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de> As __builtin_return_address(n) doesn't work for ARM with n > 0, the kernel needs its own implementation. This fixes many warnings saying: warning: unsupported argument to '__builtin_return_address' The new methods and walk_stackframe must not be instrumented because CALLER_ADDRESSx is used in the various tracers and tracing the tracer is a bad idea. What's currently missing is an implementation using unwind tables. This is not fatal though, it's just that the tracers don't get enough information to be really useful. Note that if both ARM_UNWIND and FRAME_POINTER are enabled, walk_stackframe uses unwind information. So in this case the same implementation is used as when FRAME_POINTER is disabled.

2009-02-12[ARM] 5382/1: unwind: Reorganise the stacktrace supportCatalin Marinas
This patch changes the walk_stacktrace and its callers for easier integration of stack unwinding. The arch/arm/kernel/stacktrace.h file is also moved to arch/arm/include/asm/stacktrace.h.

2007-05-30[ARM] Fix stacktrace FP range checkingRussell King
Fix an oops in the stacktrace code, caused by improper range checking. We subtract 12 off 'fp' before testing to see if it's below the low bound. However, if 'fp' were zero before, it becomes a very large positive number, causing this test to succeed where it should fail. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
