2009-08-31sh: unwinder: Fix up uninitialized variable warnings on sh2a build.Paul Mundt
A couple of these popped up on the sh2a build, causing build failures. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2009-08-22sh: unwinder: cacheline align slab cache objects.Paul Mundt
The CIE and FDE structs are big enough and accessed regularly enough in certain configurations to make cacheline alignment useful. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2009-08-21sh: Handle the DWARF op, DW_CFA_undefinedMatt Fleming
Allow a DWARF register to have an undefined value. When applied to the DWARF return address register this lets lets us label a function as having no direct caller, e.g. kernel_thread_helper(). Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming <matt@console-pimps.org>
2009-08-21sh: Fix bug calculating the end of the FDE instructionsMatt Fleming
The 'end' member of struct dwarf_fde denotes one byte past the end of the CFA instruction stream for an FDE. The value of 'end' was being calcualted incorrectly, it was being set too high. This resulted in dwarf_cfa_execute_insns() interpreting data past the end of valid instructions, thus causing all sorts of weird crashes. Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming <matt@console-pimps.org>
2009-08-21sh: unwinder: Introduce UNWINDER_BUG() and UNWINDER_BUG_ON()Matt Fleming
We can't assume that if we execute the unwinder code and the unwinder was already running that it has faulted. Clearly two kernel threads can invoke the unwinder at the same time and may be running simultaneously. The previous approach used BUG() and BUG_ON() in the unwinder code to detect whether the unwinder was incapable of unwinding the stack, and that the next available unwinder should be used instead. A better approach is to explicitly invoke a trap handler to switch unwinders when the current unwinder cannot continue. Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming <matt@console-pimps.org>
2009-08-21sh: unwinder: Set the flags for DW_CFA_val_offset ops as DWARF_VAL_OFFSETMatt Fleming
The handling of DW_CFA_val_offset ops was incorrectly using the DWARF_REG_OFFSET flag but the register's value cannot be calculated using the DWARF_REG_OFFSET method. Create a new flag to indicate that a different method must be used to calculate the register's value even though there is no implementation for DWARF_VAL_OFFSET yet; it's mainly just a place holder.

2009-08-21sh: unwinder: Fix memory leak and create our own kmem cacheMatt Fleming
Plug a memory leak in dwarf_unwinder_dump() where we didn't free the memory that we had previously allocated for the DWARF frames and DWARF registers. Now is also a opportune time to implement our own mempool and kmem cache. It's a good idea to have a certain number of frame and register objects in reserve at all times, so that we are guaranteed to have our allocation satisfied even when memory is scarce. Since we have pools to allocate from we can implement the registers for each frame as a linked list as opposed to a sparsely populated array. Whilst it's true that the lookup time for a linked list is larger than for arrays, there's only usually a maximum of 8 registers per frame. So the overhead isn't that much of a concern.

2009-08-17sh: unwinder: Move initialization to early_initcall() and tidy up locking.Paul Mundt
This moves the initialization over to an early_initcall(). This fixes up some lockdep interaction issues. At the same time, kill off some superfluous locking in the init path. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2009-08-16sh: Add support for DWARF GNU extensionsMatt Fleming
Also, remove the "fix" to DW_CFA_def_cfa_register where we reset the frame's cfa_offset to 0. This action is incorrect when handling DW_CFA_def_cfa_register as the DWARF spec specifically states that the previous contents of cfa_offset should be used with the new register. The reason that I thought cfa_offset should be reset to 0 was because it was being assigned a bogus value prior to executing the DW_CFA_def_cfa_register op. It turns out that the bogus cfa_offset value came from interpreting .cfi_escape pseudo-ops (those used by the GNU extensions) as CFA_DW_def_cfa ops.

2009-08-16sh: Try again at getting the initial return address for an unwindMatt Fleming
The previous hack for calculating the return address for the first frame we unwind (dwarf_unwinder_dump) didn't always work. The problem was that it assumed once it read the rule for calculating the return address, there would be no new rules for calculating it. This isn't true because the way in which the CFA is calculated can change as you progress through a function and the return address is figured out using the CFA. Therefore, the way to calculate the return address can change. So, instead of using some offset from the beginning of dwarf_unwind_stack which is just a flakey approach, and instead of executing instructions from the FDE until the return address is setup, we now figure out the pc in dwarf_unwind_stack() just before we call dwarf_cfa_execute_insns().

2009-08-15sh: Set the cfa_offset to 0 if we see a DW_CFA_def_cfa_register opMatt Fleming
The way that the CFA is calculated can change as we progress through a function. If we see a DW_CFA_def_cfa_register op we need to reset the frame's cfa_offset value which may have been previously setup.

2009-08-14sh: unwinder: Convert frame allocations to GFP_ATOMIC.Paul Mundt
save_stack_trace_tsk() and friends can be called from atomic context (as triggered by latencytop), and subsequently hit two problematic allocation points that were using GFP_KERNEL (these were dwarf_unwind_stack() and dwarf_frame_alloc_regs()). Convert these over to GFP_ATOMIC and get latencytop working with the DWARF unwinder. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2009-08-14sh: Delete DWARF_ARCH_UNWIND_OFFSETMatt Fleming
Trying to figure out the best value for DWARF_ARCH_UNWIND_OFFSET is tricky at best. Various things can change the size (and offset from the beginning of the function) of the prologue. Notably, turning on ftrace adds calls to mcount at the beginning of functions, thereby pushing the prologue further into the function. So replace DWARF_ARCH_UNWIND_OFFSET with some code that continues to execute CFA instructions until the value of return address register is defined. This is safe to do because we know that the return address must have been pushed onto the frame before our first function call; we just can't figure out where at compile-time.

2009-08-14sh: unwinder: Restore put_unaligned() for an unaligned destination.Paul Mundt
The destination address might be unaligned, so set it with put_unaligned() for safety. This restores the previous behaviour, albeit through the proper API. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2009-08-14sh: unwinder: Fix up usage of unaligned accessors.Paul Mundt
This was using internal symbols for unaligned accesses, bypassing the exposed interface for variable sized safe accesses. This converts all of the __get_unaligned_cpuXX() users over to get_unaligned() directly, relying on the cast to select the proper internal routine. Additionally, the __put_unaligned_cpuXX() case is superfluous given that the destination address is aligned in all of the current cases, so just drop that outright. Furthermore, this switches to the asm/unaligned.h header instead of the asm-generic version, which was silently bypassing the SH-4A optimized unaligned ops.

2009-08-14sh: dwarf unwinder support.Matt Fleming
This is a first cut at a generic DWARF unwinder for the kernel. It's still lacking DWARF64 support and the DWARF expression support hasn't been tested very well but it is generating proper stacktraces on SH for WARN_ON() and NULL dereferences.
