2010-01-16kernel.h: add BUILD_BUG_ON_NOT_POWER_OF_2()Roland Dreier
Add BUILD_BUG_ON_NOT_POWER_OF_2() When code relies on a constant being a power of 2: #define FOO 512 /* must be a power of 2 */ it would be nice to be able to do: BUILD_BUG_ON(!is_power_of_2(FOO)); However applying an inline function does not result in a compile-time constant that can be used with BUILD_BUG_ON(), so trying that gives results in: error: bit-field '<anonymous>' width not an integer constant As suggested by akpm, rather than monkeying around with is_power_of_2() and risking gcc warts about constant expressions, just create a macro BUILD_BUG_ON_NOT_POWER_OF_2() to encapsulate this common requirement.

2009-12-11tracing: Add trace_dump_stack()Steven Rostedt
I've been asked a few times about how to find out what is calling some location in the kernel. One way is to use dynamic function tracing and implement the func_stack_trace. But this only finds out who is calling a particular function. It does not tell you who is calling that function and entering a specific if conditional. I have myself implemented a quick version of trace_dump_stack() for this purpose a few times, and just needed it now. This is when I realized that this would be a good tool to have in the kernel like trace_printk(). Using trace_dump_stack() is similar to dump_stack() except that it writes to the trace buffer instead and can be used in critical locations. For example: @@ -5485,8 +5485,12 @@ need_resched_nonpreemptible: if (prev->state && !(preempt_count() & PREEMPT_ACTIVE)) { if (unlikely(signal_pending_state(prev->state, prev))) prev->state = TASK_RUNNING; - else + else { deactivate_task(rq, prev, 1); + trace_printk("Deactivating task %s:%d\n", + prev->comm, prev->pid); + trace_dump_stack(); + } switch_count = &prev->nvcsw; } Produces: <...>-3249 [001] 296.105269: schedule: Deactivating task ntpd:3249 <...>-3249 [001] 296.105270: <stack trace> => schedule => schedule_hrtimeout_range => poll_schedule_timeout => do_select => core_sys_select => sys_select => system_call_fastpath Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Since this is always __ratelimit, this wont help much. This patch changes __ratelimit and printk_ratelimit to print the function name that calls ratelimit. This will pinpoint the responsible function, as long as not several different places call ratelimit with the same ratelimit state at the same time. In that case we catch only one random function that calls ratelimit after the wait period.

2009-09-23BUILD_BUG_ON(): fix it and a couple of bogus uses of itJan Beulich
gcc permitting variable length arrays makes the current construct used for BUILD_BUG_ON() useless, as that doesn't produce any diagnostic if the controlling expression isn't really constant. Instead, this patch makes it so that a bit field gets used here. Consequently, those uses where the condition isn't really constant now also need fixing. Note that in the gfp.h, kmemcheck.h, and virtio_config.h cases MAYBE_BUILD_BUG_ON() really just serves documentation purposes - even if the expression is compile time constant (__builtin_constant_p() yields true), the array is still deemed of variable length by gcc, and hence the whole expression doesn't have the intended effect.

2009-06-25x86: Add sysctl to allow panic on IOCK NMI errorKurt Garloff
This patch introduces a new sysctl: /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_io_nmi which defaults to 0 (off). When enabled, the kernel panics when the kernel receives an NMI caused by an IO error. The IO error triggered NMI indicates a serious system condition, which could result in IO data corruption. Rather than contiuing, panicing and dumping might be a better choice, so one can figure out what's causing the IO error. This could be especially important to companies running IO intensive applications where corruption must be avoided, e.g. a bank's databases.

2009-06-16printk: Add KERN_DEFAULT printk log-levelLinus Torvalds
This adds a KERN_DEFAULT loglevel marker, for when you cannot decide which loglevel you want, and just want to keep an existing printk with the default loglevel. The difference between having KERN_DEFAULT and having no log-level marker at all is two-fold: - having the log-level marker will now force a new-line if the previous printout had not added one (perhaps because it forgot, but perhaps because it expected a continuation) - having a log-level marker is required if you are printing out a message that otherwise itself could perhaps otherwise be mistaken for a log-level.

2009-06-16printk: clean up handling of log-levels and newlinesLinus Torvalds
It used to be that we would only look at the log-level in a printk() after explicit newlines, which can cause annoying problems when the previous printk() did not end with a '\n'. In that case, the log-level marker would be just printed out in the middle of the line, and be seen as just noise rather than change the logging level. This changes things to always look at the log-level in the first bytes of the printout. If a log level marker is found, it is always used as the log-level. Additionally, if no newline existed, one is added (unless the log-level is the explicit KERN_CONT marker, to explicitly show that it's a continuation of a previous line).

2009-04-16dynamic debug: resurrect old pr_debug() semantics as pr_devel()Michael Ellerman
pr_debug() used to produce zero code unless DEBUG was #defined. This is now no longer the case in practice[1]. There are places where it's useful to have debugging printks, but we don't want them to generate any code in production kernels. So add a new macro, pr_devel(), for _devel_opment, to provide the old semantics, ie. if the programmer doesn't explicitly enable debugging, no code is produced. [1]: You can turn CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG off, but it's enabled in at least one distro kernel, so it's not really a solution.

2009-03-24dynamic debug: combine dprintk and dynamic printkJason Baron
This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'. The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface, (an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function, file, module, format string, and line number. for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack': echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control to disable them: echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.

2009-03-12tracing/core: bring back raw trace_printk for dynamic formats stringsFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: fix callsites with dynamic format strings Since its new binary implementation, trace_printk() internally uses static containers for the format strings on each callsites. But the value is assigned once at build time, which means that it can't take dynamic formats. So this patch unearthes the raw trace_printk implementation for the callers that will need trace_printk to be able to carry these dynamic format strings. The trace_printk() macro will use the appropriate implementation for each callsite. Most of the time however, the binary implementation will still be used. The other impact of this patch is that mmiotrace_printk() will use the old implementation because it calls the low level trace_vprintk and we can't guess here whether the format passed in it is dynamic or not. Some parts of this patch have been written by Steven Rostedt (most notably the part that chooses the appropriate implementation for each callsites).

2009-03-09tracing: optimize trace_printk()Ingo Molnar
Impact: micro-optimization trace_printk() does this unconditionally: trace_printk_fmt = fmt; Where trace_printk_fmt is an entry into a global array. This is very SMP-unfriendly. So only write it once per bootup.

2009-03-06tracing/core: drop the old trace_printk() implementation in favour of ↵Frederic Weisbecker
trace_bprintk() Impact: faster and lighter tracing Now that we have trace_bprintk() which is faster and consume lesser memory than trace_printk() and has the same purpose, we can now drop the old implementation in favour of the binary one from trace_bprintk(), which means we move all the implementation of trace_bprintk() to trace_printk(), so the Api doesn't change except that we must now use trace_seq_bprintk() to print the TRACE_PRINT entries. Some changes result of this: - Previously, trace_bprintk depended of a single tracer and couldn't work without. This tracer has been dropped and the whole implementation of trace_printk() (like the module formats management) is now integrated in the tracing core (comes with CONFIG_TRACING), though we keep the file trace_printk (previously trace_bprintk.c) where we can find the module management. Thus we don't overflow trace.c - changes some parts to use trace_seq_bprintk() to print TRACE_PRINT entries. - change a bit trace_printk/trace_vprintk macros to support non-builtin formats constants, and fix 'const' qualifiers warnings. But this is all transparent for developers. - etc... V2: - Rebase against last changes - Fix mispell on the changelog V3: - Rebase against last changes (moving trace_printk() to kernel.h) Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> LKML-Reference: <1236356510-8381-5-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-03-05tracing: add tracing_on/tracing_off to kernel.hSteven Rostedt
Impact: cleanup The functions tracing_start/tracing_stop have been moved to kernel.h. These are not the functions a developer most likely wants to use when they want to insert a place to stop tracing and restart it from user space. tracing_start/tracing_stop was created to work with things like suspend to ram, where even calling smp_processor_id() can crash the system. The tracing_start/tracing_stop was used to stop the tracer from doing anything. These are still light weight functions, but add a bit more overhead to be able to stop the tracers. They also have no interface back to userland. That is, if the kernel calls tracing_stop, userland can not start tracing. What a developer most likely wants to use is tracing_on/tracing_off. These are very light weight functions (simply sets or clears a bit). These functions just stop recording into the ring buffer. The tracers don't even know that this happens except that they would receive NULL from the ring_buffer_lock_reserve function. Also, there's a way for the user land to enable or disable this bit. In debugfs/tracing/tracing_on, a user may echo "0" (same as tracing_off()) or echo "1" (same as tracing_on()) into this file. This becomes handy when a kernel developer is debugging and wants tracing to turn off when it hits an anomaly. Then the developer can examine the trace, and restart tracing if they want to try again (echo 1 > tracing_on). This patch moves the prototypes for tracing_on/tracing_off to kernel.h and comments their use, so that a kernel developer will know how to use them.

2009-02-05printk: introduce printk_once()Ingo Molnar
This pattern shows up frequently in the kernel: static int once = 1; ... if (once) { once = 0; printk(KERN_ERR "message\n"); } ... So add a printk_once() helper macro that reduces this to a single line of: printk_once(KERN_ERR "message\n"); It works analogously to WARN_ONCE() & friends. (We use a macro not an inline because vararg expansion in inlines looks awkward and the macro is simple enough.) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
