* fs/proc/kcore.c: Add bounce buffer for ktext dataJiri Olsa2016-09-201-1/+6

* x86/fpu, sched: Dynamically allocate 'struct fpu'Dave Hansen2015-07-181-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The FPU rewrite removed the dynamic allocations of 'struct fpu'. But, this potentially wastes massive amounts of memory (2k per task on systems that do not have AVX-512 for instance). Instead of having a separate slab, this patch just appends the space that we need to the 'task_struct' which we dynamically allocate already. This saves from doing an extra slab allocation at fork(). The only real downside here is that we have to stick everything and the end of the task_struct. But, I think the BUILD_BUG_ON()s I stuck in there should keep that from being too fragile.

* fs/proc/kcore.c: don't add modules range to kcore if it's equal to vmcore rangeBaoquan He2014-10-101-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On some ARCHs modules range is eauql to vmalloc range. E.g on i686 "#define MODULES_VADDR VMALLOC_START" "#define MODULES_END VMALLOC_END" This will cause 2 duplicate program segments in /proc/kcore, and no flag to indicate they are different. This is confusing. And usually people who need check the elf header or read the content of kcore will check memory ranges. Two program segments which are the same are unnecessary. So check if the modules range is equal to vmalloc range. If so, just skip adding the modules range.

* fs/proc: don't use module_init for non-modular core codePaul Gortmaker2014-01-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PROC_FS is a bool, so this code is either present or absent. It will never be modular, so using module_init as an alias for __initcall is rather misleading. Fix this up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that would be ugly at best. Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one of the priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets mapped onto device_initcall, our use of fs_initcall (which makes sense for fs code) will thus change these registrations from level 6-device to level 5-fs (i.e. slightly earlier). However no observable impact of that small difference has been observed during testing, or is expected. Also note that this change uncovers a missing semicolon bug in the registration of vmcore_init as an initcall.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 34aacb2920 ("procfs: Use generic_file_llseek in /proc/kcore") broke seeking on /proc/kcore. This changes it back to use default_llseek in order to restore the original behavior. The problem with generic_file_llseek is that it only allows seeks up to inode->i_sb->s_maxbytes, which is 2GB-1 on procfs, where the memory file offset values in the /proc/kcore PT_LOAD segments may exceed or start beyond that offset value. A similar revert was made for /proc/vmcore.

* | include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-301-0/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit 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 allmodconfig 8. 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> pointed out that vmemmap range is not included in KCORE_RAM, KCORE_VMALLOC .... This adds KCORE_VMEMMAP if SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is used. By this, vmemmap can be readable via /proc/kcore Because it's not vmalloc area, vread/vwrite cannot be used. But the range is static against the memory layout, this patch handles vmemmap area by the same scheme with physical memory. This patch assumes SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP range is not in VMALLOC range. It's correct now.

* kcore: use registerd physmem informationKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2009-09-231-12/+167
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For /proc/kcore, each arch registers its memory range by kclist_add(). In usual, - range of physical memory - range of vmalloc area - text, etc... are registered but "range of physical memory" has some troubles. It doesn't updated at memory hotplug and it tend to include unnecessary memory holes. Now, /proc/iomem (kernel/resource.c) includes required physical memory range information and it's properly updated at memory hotplug. Then, it's good to avoid using its own code(duplicating information) and to rebuild kclist for physical memory based on /proc/iomem.

* kcore: register text area in generic wayKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2009-09-231-1/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some 64bit arch has special segment for mapping kernel text. It should be entried to /proc/kcore in addtion to direct-linear-map, vmalloc area. This patch unifies KCORE_TEXT entry scattered under x86 and ia64. I'm not familiar with other archs (mips has its own even after this patch) but range of [_stext ..._end) is a valid area of text and it's not in direct-map area, defining CONFIG_ARCH_PROC_KCORE_TEXT is only a necessary thing to do. Note: I left mips as it is now.

* kcore: add kclist typesKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2009-09-231-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Presently, kclist_add() only eats start address and size as its arguments. Considering to make kclist dynamically reconfigulable, it's necessary to know which kclists are for System RAM and which are not. This patch add kclist types as KCORE_RAM KCORE_VMALLOC KCORE_TEXT KCORE_OTHER This "type" is used in a patch following this for detecting KCORE_RAM.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patchset is for /proc/kcore. With this, - many per-arch hooks are removed. - /proc/kcore will know really valid physical memory area. - /proc/kcore will be aware of memory hotplug. - /proc/kcore will be architecture independent i.e. if an arch supports CONFIG_MMU, it can use /proc/kcore. (if the arch uses usual memory layout.) This patch: /proc/kcore uses its own list handling codes. It's better to use generic list codes. No changes in logic. just clean up.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
