2009-03-17dma-debug: add function to dump dma mappingsDavid Woodhouse
This adds a function to dump the DMA mappings that the debugging code is aware of -- either for a single device, or for _all_ devices. This can be useful for debugging -- sticking a call to it in the DMA page fault handler, for example, to see if the faulting address _should_ be mapped or not, and hence work out whether it's IOMMU bugs we're seeing, or driver bugs.

2009-03-17debugobjects: delay free of internal objectsThomas Gleixner
Impact: avoid recursive kfree calls, less slab activity on heavy load debugobjects checks on kfree whether tracked objects are freed. When a tracked object is freed debugobjects frees the internal reference object as well. The debug object slab cache is marked to not recurse into debugobjects when a slab objects is freed, but the recursive call can be problematic versus locking in the memory allocator. Defer the freeing of debug slab objects via schedule_work. The reasons not to use RCU are: 1) rcu makes the data structure larger 2) there is no real need for rcu as nothing references the obj after we freed it 3) under heavy load it is easier to reuse the to be freed objects instead of allocating new objects from the slab. This lowered the slab activity significantly in a heavy load networking test where lots of timers are created/destroyed. The workqueue based delayed free allows us just to put the to be freed objects back into the object pool and reuse them right away.

2009-03-17debugobjects: replace static objects when slab cache becomes availableThomas Gleixner
Impact: refactor/consolidate object management, prepare for delayed free debugobjects allocates static reference objects to track objects which are initialized or activated before the slab cache becomes available. These static reference objects have to be handled seperately in free_object(). The handling of these objects is in the way of implementing a delayed free functionality. The delayed free is required to avoid callbacks into the mm code from debug_check_no_obj_freed(). Replace the static object references with dynamic ones after the slab cache has been initialized. The static objects are now marked initdata. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> LKML-Reference: <200903162049.58058.nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au>

2009-03-12bitmap: fix end condition in bitmap_find_free_regionLinus Torvalds
Guennadi Liakhovetski noticed that the end condition for the loop in bitmap_find_free_region() is wrong, and the "return if error" was also using the wrong conditional that would only trigger if the bitmap was an exact multiple of the allocation size, which is not necessarily the case with dma_alloc_from_coherent(). Such a failure would end up in bitmap_find_free_region() accessing beyond the end of the bitmap.

2009-03-11nlattr: Fix build error with NET offHerbert Xu
We moved the netlink attribute support from net to lib in order for it to be available for general consumption. However, parts of the code (the bits that we don't need :) really depends on NET because the target object is sk_buff. This patch fixes this by wrapping them in CONFIG_NET. Some EXPORTs have been moved to make this work. Tested-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <Geert.Uytterhoeven@sonycom.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

2009-03-10idr: make idr_remove_all() do removal -before- free_layer()Paul E. McKenney
Fix a problem in the IDR system, where an idr_remove_all() hands a data element to call_rcu() (via free_layer()) before making that data element inaccessible to new readers. This is very bad, and results in readers still having a reference to this data element at the end of the grace period. Tests on large machines that concurrently map and unmap user-space memory within the same multithreaded process result in crashes within about five minutes. Applying this patch increases the kernel's longevity to the three-to-eight-hour range. There appear to be other similar problems in idr_get_empty_slot() and sub_remove(), but I fixed the easy one in idr_remove_all() first. It is therefore no surprise that failures still occur.

2009-03-10vsprintf: fix bug in negative value printingFrederic Weisbecker
Sitsofe Wheeler found and bisected that while unifying the vsprintf format decoding in: fef20d9: vsprintf: unify the format decoding layer for its 3 users The sign flag has been dropped out in favour of precise types (ie: LONG/ULONG). But the format helper number() still needs this flag to keep track of the signedness unless it will consider all numbers as unsigned. Also add an explicit cast to int (for %d) while parsing with va_arg() to ensure the highest bit is well extended on the 64 bits number that hosts the value in case of negative values.

2009-03-06vsprintf: unify the format decoding layer for its 3 usersFrederic Weisbecker
An new optimization is making its way to ftrace. Its purpose is to make trace_printk() consuming less memory and be faster. Written by Lai Jiangshan, the approach is to delay the formatting job from tracing time to output time. Currently, a call to trace_printk() will format the whole string and insert it into the ring buffer. Then you can read it on /debug/tracing/trace file. The new implementation stores the address of the format string and the binary parameters into the ring buffer, making the packet more compact and faster to insert. Later, when the user exports the traces, the format string is retrieved with the binary parameters and the formatting job is eventually done. The new implementation rewrites a lot of format decoding bits from vsnprintf() function, making now 3 differents functions to maintain in their duplicated parts of printf format decoding bits. Suggested by Ingo Molnar, this patch tries to factorize the most possible common bits from these functions. The real common part between them is the format decoding. Although they do somewhat similar jobs, their way to export or import the parameters is very different. Thus, only the decoding layer is extracted, unless you see other parts that could be worth factorized. Changes in V2: - Address a suggestion from Linus to group the format_decode() parameters inside a structure. Changes in v3: - Address other cleanups suggested by Ingo and Linus such as passing the printf_spec struct to the format helpers: pointer()/number()/string() Note that this struct is passed by copy and not by address. This is to avoid side effects because these functions often change these values and the changes shoudn't be persistant when a callee helper returns. It would be too risky. - Various cleanups (code alignement, switch/case instead of if/else fountains). - Fix a bug that printed the first format specifier following a %p Changes in v4: - drop unapropriate const qualifier loss while casting fmt to a char * (thanks to Vegard Nossum for having pointed this out).

2009-03-02debug_objects: add boot-parameter toggle to turn object debugging off againKyle McMartin
While trying to debug why my Atom netbook is falling over booting rawhide debug-enabled kernels, I stumbled across the fact that we've been enabling object debugging by default. However, once you default it to on, you've got no way to turn it back off again at runtime. Add a boolean toggle to turn it off. I would just make it an int module_param, however people may already expect the boolean enable behaviour, so just add an analogue for disabling.
