2011-05-25lib: consolidate DEBUG_STACK_USAGE optionStephen Boyd
Most arches define CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE exactly the same way. Move it to lib/Kconfig.debug so each arch doesn't have to define it. This obviously makes the option generic, but that's fine because the config is already used in generic code. It's not obvious to me that sysrq-P actually does anything caution by keeping the most inclusive wording.

2011-05-25lib: consolidate DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPSStephen Boyd
DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS is used in lib/cpumask.c as well as in inlcude/linux/cpumask.h and thus it has outgrown its use within x86 and powerpc alone. Any arch with SMP support may want to get some more debugging, so make this option generic.

2011-05-05rcu: Remove conditional compilation for RCU CPU stall warningsPaul E. McKenney
The RCU CPU stall warnings can now be controlled using the rcu_cpu_stall_suppress boot-time parameter or via the same parameter from sysfs. There is therefore no longer any reason to have kernel config parameters for this feature. This commit therefore removes the RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR and RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR_RUNNABLE kernel config parameters. The RCU_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT parameter remains to allow the timeout to be tuned and the RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE parameter remains to allow task-stall information to be suppressed if desired.

2011-04-28watchdog, hung_task_timeout: Add Kconfig configurable defaultJeff Mahoney
This patch allows the default value for sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs to be set at build time. The feature carries virtually no overhead, so it makes sense to keep it enabled. On heavily loaded systems, though, it can end up triggering stack traces when there is no bug other than the system being underprovisioned. We use this patch to keep the hung task facility available but disabled at boot-time. The default of 120 seconds is preserved. As a note, commit e162b39a may have accidentally reverted commit fb822db4, which raised the default from 120 seconds to 480 seconds.

2011-03-22kstrto*: converting strings to integers done (hopefully) rightAlexey Dobriyan
1. simple_strto*() do not contain overflow checks and crufty, libc way to indicate failure. 2. strict_strto*() also do not have overflow checks but the name and comments pretend they do. 3. Both families have only "long long" and "long" variants, but users want strtou8() 4. Both "simple" and "strict" prefixes are wrong: Simple doesn't exactly say what's so simple, strict should not exist because conversion should be strict by default. The solution is to use "k" prefix and add convertors for more types. Enter kstrtoull() kstrtoll() kstrtoul() kstrtol() kstrtouint() kstrtoint() kstrtou64() kstrtos64() kstrtou32() kstrtos32() kstrtou16() kstrtos16() kstrtou8() kstrtos8() Include runtime testsuite (somewhat incomplete) as well. strict_strto*() become deprecated, stubbed to kstrto*() and eventually will be removed altogether. Use kstrto*() in code today! Note: on some archs _kstrtoul() and _kstrtol() are left in tree, even if they'll be unused at runtime. This is temporarily solution, because I don't want to hardcode list of archs where these functions aren't needed. Current solution with sizeof() and __alignof__ at least always works.

2011-03-22kernel/watchdog.c: allow hardlockup to panic by defaultDon Zickus
When a cpu is considered stuck, instead of limping along and just printing a warning, it is sometimes preferred to just panic, let kdump capture the vmcore and reboot. This gets the machine back into a stable state quickly while saving the info that got it into a stuck state to begin with. Add a Kconfig option to allow users to set the hardlockup to panic by default. Also add in a 'nmi_watchdog=nopanic' to override this.

2011-01-20kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERTDavid Rientjes
The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than only small devices. This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they are making should enable it.

2010-12-22x86, nmi_watchdog: Remove ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG and rely on ↵Don Zickus
CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR The x86 arch has shifted its use of the nmi_watchdog from a local implementation to the global one provide by kernel/watchdog.c. This shift has caused a whole bunch of compile problems under different config options. I attempt to simplify things with the patch below. In order to simplify things, I had to come to terms with the meaning of two terms ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG and CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. Basically they mean the same thing, the former on a local level and the latter on a global level. With the old x86 nmi watchdog gone, there is no need to rely on defining the ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG variable because it doesn't make sense any more. x86 will now use the global implementation. The changes below do a few things. First it changes the few places that relied on ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG to use CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC (the former was an alias for the latter anyway, so nothing unusual here). Those pieces of code were relying more on local apic functionality the nmi watchdog functionality, so the change should make sense. Second, I removed the x86 implementation of touch_nmi_watchdog(). It isn't need now, instead x86 will rely on kernel/watchdog.c's implementation. Third, I removed the #define ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG itself from x86. And tweaked the include/linux/nmi.h file to tell users to look for an externally defined touch_nmi_watchdog in the case of ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG _or_ CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. This changes removes some of the ugliness in that file. Finally, I added a Kconfig dependency for CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR that said you can't have ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG _and_ CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. You can only have one nmi_watchdog. Tested with ARCH=i386: allnoconfig, defconfig, allyesconfig, (various broken configs) ARCH=x86_64: allnoconfig, defconfig, allyesconfig, (various broken configs) Hopefully, after this patch I won't get any more compile broken emails. :-) v3: changed a couple of 'linux/nmi.h' -> 'asm/nmi.h' to pick-up correct function prototypes when CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR is not set.

2010-10-26percpu_counter: add debugobj supportTejun Heo
All percpu counters are linked to a global list on initialization and removed from it on destruction. The list is walked during CPU up/down. If a percpu counter is freed without being properly destroyed, the system will oops only on the next CPU up/down making it pretty nasty to track down. This patch adds debugobj support for percpu counters so that such problems can be found easily. As percpu counters don't make sense on stack and can't be statically initialized, debugobj support is pretty simple. It's initialized and activated on counter initialization, and deactivatd and destroyed on counter destruction. With this patch applied, the bug fixed by commit 602586a83b719df0fbd94196a1359ed35aeb2df3 (shmem: put_super must percpu_counter_destroy) triggers the following warning on tmpfs unmount and the system won't oops on the next cpu up/down operation. ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at lib/debugobjects.c:259 debug_print_object+0x5c/0x70() Hardware name: Bochs ODEBUG: free active (active state 0) object type: percpu_counter Modules linked in: Pid: 3999, comm: umount Not tainted 2.6.36-rc2-work+ #5 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81083f7f>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7f/0xc0 [<ffffffff81084076>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x46/0x50 [<ffffffff813b45cc>] debug_print_object+0x5c/0x70 [<ffffffff813b50e5>] debug_check_no_obj_freed+0x125/0x210 [<ffffffff811577d3>] kfree+0xb3/0x2f0 [<ffffffff81132edd>] shmem_put_super+0x1d/0x30 [<ffffffff81162e96>] generic_shutdown_super+0x56/0xe0 [<ffffffff81162f86>] kill_anon_super+0x16/0x60 [<ffffffff81162ff7>] kill_litter_super+0x27/0x30 [<ffffffff81163295>] deactivate_locked_super+0x45/0x60 [<ffffffff81163cfa>] deactivate_super+0x4a/0x70 [<ffffffff8117d446>] mntput_no_expire+0x86/0xe0 [<ffffffff8117df7f>] sys_umount+0x6f/0x360 [<ffffffff8103f01b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b ---[ end trace cce2a341ba3611a7 ]--- Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglxlinutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2010-10-21BKL: introduce CONFIG_BKL.Arnd Bergmann
With all the patches we have queued in the BKL removal tree, only a few dozen modules are left that actually rely on the BKL, and even there are lots of low-hanging fruit. We need to decide what to do about them, this patch illustrates one of the options: Every user of the BKL is marked as 'depends on BKL' in Kconfig, and the CONFIG_BKL becomes a user-visible option. If it gets disabled, no BKL using module can be built any more and the BKL code itself is compiled out. The one exception is file locking, which is practically always enabled and does a 'select BKL' instead. This effectively forces CONFIG_BKL to be enabled until we have solved the fs/lockd mess and can apply the patch that removes the BKL from fs/locks.c. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

2010-08-31tracing/lockdep: Fix dependency of TRACE_IRQFLAGSSteven Rostedt
When CONFIG_IRQSOFF_TRACER is set and CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is not, we get the following error: $ make oldconfig scripts/kconfig/conf --oldconfig arch/x86/Kconfig warning: (IRQSOFF_TRACER && TRACING_SUPPORT && FTRACE && TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT && !ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET) selects TRACE_IRQFLAGS which has unmet direct dependencies (DEBUG_KERNEL && TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT && PROVE_LOCKING) warning: (IRQSOFF_TRACER && TRACING_SUPPORT && FTRACE && TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT && !ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET) selects TRACE_IRQFLAGS which has unmet direct dependencies (DEBUG_KERNEL && TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT && PROVE_LOCKING) This is because IRQSOFF_TRACER selects TRACE_IRQFLAGS but TRACE_IRQFLAGS has PROVE_LOCKING as a dependency. This code is incorrect, and this patch changes the TRACE_IRQFLAGS to be just a simple bool that does not depend or select anything. Instead both IRQSOFF_TRACER and PROVE_LOCKING select it.

2010-08-19rcu: Allow RCU CPU stall warnings to be off at boot, but manually enablablePaul E. McKenney
Currently, if RCU CPU stall warnings are enabled, they are enabled immediately upon boot. They can be manually disabled via /sys (and also re-enabled via /sys), and are automatically disabled upon panic. However, some users need RCU CPU stalls to be disabled at boot time, but to be enabled without rebuilding/rebooting. For example, someone running a real-time application in production might not want the additional latency of RCU CPU stall detection in normal operation, but might need to enable it at any point for fault isolation purposes. This commit therefore provides a new CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR_RUNNABLE kernel configuration parameter that maintains the current behavior (enable at boot) by default, but allows a kernel to be configured with RCU CPU stall detection built into the kernel, but disabled at boot time.

2010-08-19rcu: make CPU stall warning timeout configurablePaul E. McKenney

2010-08-19rcu: define __rcu address space modifier for sparsePaul E. McKenney
This commit provides definitions for the __rcu annotation defined earlier. This annotation permits sparse to check for correct use of RCU-protected pointers. If a pointer that is annotated with __rcu is accessed directly (as opposed to via rcu_dereference(), rcu_assign_pointer(), or one of their variants), sparse can be made to complain. To enable such complaints, use the new default-disabled CONFIG_SPARSE_RCU_POINTER kernel configuration option. Please note that these sparse complaints are intended to be a debugging aid, -not- a code-style-enforcement mechanism. There are special rcu_dereference_protected() and rcu_access_pointer() accessors for use when RCU read-side protection is not required, for example, when no other CPU has access to the data structure in question or while the current CPU hold the update-side lock. This patch also updates a number of docbook comments that were showing their age. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
