drivers/misc/lkdtm.c: fix race when crashpoint is hit multiple times before checking count

2011-06-28T01:00:13+00:00

We observed the crash point count going negative in cases where the crash point is hit multiple times before the check of "count == 0" is done. Because of this we never call lkdtm_do_action(). This patch just adds a spinlock to protect count. Reported-by: Tapan Dhimant Signed-off-by: Josh Hunt Acked-by: Ankita Garg Cc: Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

lkdtm: prefix enum constants

2010-10-26T23:52:14+00:00

Prefix cname and ctype constants with CN/CT_. This is especially for the conflict on BUG which causes a build break if arch defines it as a inline function, i.e. MIPS. Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Cc: Ankita Garg Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

lkdtm: use generic_file_llseek in debugfs

2010-09-16T08:33:09+00:00

When the default llseek behavior gets changed to not allowing seek, all file operations that rely on the current behaviour need to use an explicit .llseek operation. The files that lkdtm uses in debugfs are regular files and they get read using simple_read_from_buffer, so generic_file_llseek is the right operation. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

param: remove unnecessary writable charp

2010-08-11T13:34:27+00:00

sysfs-writable charp arguments need to be locked against modification (since the old ones may be kfreed underneath us). String arguments are much simpler, so use them for small strings (eg. IFNAMSIZ). lkdtm only uses the parameters at module initialization time, so there's not much point making them writable.

lktdm: add support for hardlockup, softlockup and hung task crashes

2010-05-27T16:12:54+00:00

This adds three new types of kernel "crashes" in the lkdtm driver to trigger hardlockups, softlockups and task hung states at will. The first two are useful to test the new generic lockup detector and check its further regressions. The latter one is a bonus to check the hung task detector regressions even though it's not currently in rework.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32+00:00

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.

lkdtm: add debugfs access and loosen KPROBE ties

2010-03-06T19:26:32+00:00

Add adds a debugfs interface and additional failure modes to LKDTM to provide similar functionality to the provoke-crash driver submitted here: http://lwn.net/Articles/371208/ Crashes can now be induced either through module parameters (as before) or through the debugfs interface as in provoke-crash. The patch also provides a new "direct" interface, where KPROBES are not used, i.e., the crash is invoked directly upon write to the debugfs file. When built without KPROBES configured, only this mode is available. Signed-off-by: Simon Kagstrom Cc: M. Mohan Kumar Cc: Americo Wang Cc: David Woodhouse Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: "Eric W.
