2009-09-19tracing, perf: Convert the power tracer into an event tracerArjan van de Ven
This patch converts the existing power tracer into an event tracer, so that power events (C states and frequency changes) can be tracked via "perf". This also removes the perl script that was used to demo the tracer; its functionality is being replaced entirely with timechart.

2009-09-15sparc: Kill PROM console driver.David S. Miller
Many years ago when this driver was written, it had a use, but these days it's nothing but trouble and distributions should not enable it in any situation. Pretty much every console device a sparc machine could see has a bonafide real driver, making the PROM console hack unnecessary. If any new device shows up, we should write a driver instead of depending upon this crutch to save us. We've been able to take care of this even when no chip documentation exists (sunxvr500, sunxvr2500) so there are no excuses. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-08-21kconfig: add missing dependency of conf to localyesconfigSteven Rostedt
There's a dependency missing. $ make localyesconfig HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep HOSTCC scripts/basic/docproc HOSTCC scripts/basic/hash using config: '/boot/config-2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.x86_64' /bin/sh: line 8: scripts/kconfig/conf: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [localyesconfig] Error 127 make: *** [localyesconfig] Error 2 Thus the script failed to run. But the sed command that converts the '=m' to '=y' still ran. This gives us a distro config with all modules converted to built in! The missing dependency was for conf for localyesconfig. This dependency was already set for localmodconfig. Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-08-18kconfig: test if a .config already existsSteven Rostedt
If one were to run localmodconfig or localyesconfig without having a .config already in the file, then the end of the process would give a warning when it tries to move the old .config to .config.old.

2009-08-18kconfig: make local .config default for streamline_configSteven Rostedt

2009-08-18kconfig: search for a config to base the local(mod|yes)config onSteven Rostedt
Instead of using the .config in the local directory. This patch changes streamline_config.pl to search various locations for a config. Here's the list and order of search: /proc/config.gz /boot/vmlinuz-`uname -r` vmlinux # local to the directory /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/kernel/configs.ko kernel/configs.ko kernel/configs.o .config Once it finds a file that contains a config (it checks if the binary objects have configs first) it then uses it to create the .config with minimum modules needed.

2009-08-18kconfig: have extract-ikconfig read ELF filesSteven Rostedt
It would be nice to use extract-ikconfig to find the congfig.gz in either vmlinux (not vmlinuz) or configs.ko. This patch changes the script to also be able to read ELF files directly. [ Impact: find config.gz in vmlinux and configs.ko ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2009-08-18kconfig: enable CONFIG_IKCONFIG from streamline_config.plSteven Rostedt
Ingo Molnar suggested that the streamline_config.pl should enable CONFIG_IKCONFIG to keep the current config in the kernel. Then we can use scripts/extract-ikconfig to find the current modules. This patch changes streamline_config.pl to check if CONFIG_IKCONFIG is not set, and if it is not, it enables it to be a module.

2009-08-18kconfig: do not warn about modules built inSteven Rostedt
The streamline_config.pl finds all the configs that are needed to compile the currently loaded modules. After it creates the .config file, it tests to make sure all the configs that are needed were set. It only looks at the configs that are modules, it does not look at the builtin configs. This causes unnecessary warnings about modules not being covered. Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-08-18kconfig: streamline_config.pl do not stop with no dependsSteven Rostedt
If a config does not have a prompt, it must be selected. streamline_config.pl keeps track of all configs that select other configs. If a config that does not have a prompt needs to be set to enable a current module, it will include all configs that select it. Note, streamline_config.pl does not enable modules that are not already enabled. It only keeps enabled those that were enabled and might be needed to compile the current modules. The code to find the selects of a config is after the code that adds the depends. But if a config needed selects but had no dependencies, it would not be set. Because the code would stop before getting to the select. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-08-18kconfig: add make localyesconfig optionSteven Rostedt
This adds the option localyesconfig to make. This is similar to localmodconfig, but after it removes unnecessary modules it runs sed -i s/=m/=y/ on the .config file. It then runs "make silentoldconfig" to fix any wholes that were created by the conversion of modules to core. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-08-18kconfig: make localmodconfig to run streamline_config.plSteven Rostedt
Running the streamline_config.pl script manually can still be confusing for some users. This patch adds the localmodconfig option. This will automatically run streamline_config.pl on the current .config and then run "make silentoldconfig" to fix any wholes that might have been created. $ make localmodconfig This will remove any module configurations in .config that are not needed to compile the modules that are loaded. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-08-18kconfig: add streamline_config.pl to scriptsSteven Rostedt
streamline_config.pl is a very powerful tool. For those that install a kernel to a new box using the config file from the distribution know that it can take forever to compile the kernel. Making a custom config file that will still boot your box, but bring down the compile time of the kernel can be quit painful, and to ask someone that reported a bug to do this can be a large burdon since that person may not even know how to build a kernel. This script will perform "lsmod" to find all the modules loaded on the current running system. It will read all the Makefiles to map which CONFIG enables a module. It will read the Kconfig files to find the dependencies and selects that may be needed to support a CONFIG. Finally, it reads the .config file and removes any module "=m" that is not needed to enable the currently loaded modules. The output goes to standard out. Here's a way to run the script. From the Linux directory that holds a distribution .config. $ scripts/kconfig/streamline_config.pl arch/x86/Kconfig > config-sl $ mv .config config-save $ mv config-sl .config $ make oldconfig Now you have a .config that will still build all your modules, but also take much less time to build the kernel.

2009-08-07tracing: Fix recordmcount.pl to handle sections with only weak functionsSteven Rostedt
Roland Dreier found that a section that contained only a weak function in one of the staging drivers and this caused recordmcount.pl to spit out a warning and fail. Although it is strange that a driver would have a weak function, and this function only be used in one place, it should not be something to make recordmcount.pl fail. This patch fixes the issue in a simple manner: if only weak functions exist in a section, then that section will not be recorded.

Well we tracked it down and it is powerpc64 specific. Seems that in drivers/hwmon/lm93.c there's a function called: LM93_IN_FROM_REG() But PPC64 has function descriptors and the real function names (the ones you see in objdump) start with a '.'. Thus this in objdump you have: Disassembly of section .text: 0000000000000000 <.LM93_IN_FROM_REG>: 0: 7c 08 02 a6 mflr r0 4: fb 81 ff e0 std r28,-32(r1) The function name used is .LM93_IN_FROM_REG. But gcc considers symbols that start with ".L" as a special symbol that is used inside the assembly stage. The nm passed into recordmcount uses the --synthetic option which shows the ".L" symbols (my runs outside of the build did not include the --synthetic option, so my older patch worked). We see the function as a local. Now to capture all the locations that use "mcount" we need to have a reference to link into the object file a list of mcount callers. We need a reference that will not disappear. We try to use a global function and if that does not work, we use a local function as a reference. But to relink the section back into the object, we need to make it global. In this case, we run objcopy using --globalize-symbol and --localize-symbol to convert the symbol into a global symbol, link the mcount list, then convert it back to a local symbol. This works great except for this case. .L* symbols can not be converted into a global symbol, and the mcount section referencing it will remain unresolved.

2009-07-23ftrace: Only update $offset when we update $ref_funcMatt Fleming
The value of $offset should be the offset of $ref_func from the beginning of the object file. Therefore, we should set both variables together. This fixes a bug I was hitting on sh where $offset (which is used to calcualte the addends for the __mcount_loc entries) was being set multiple times and didn't correspond to $ref_func's offset in the object file. The addends in __mcount_loc were calculated incorrectly, resulting in ftrace dynamically modifying addresses that weren't mcount call sites.

2009-06-30fbdev: work around old compiler bugStephen Rothwell
When building with a 4.1.x compiler on powerpc64 (at least) we get this error: drivers/video/logo/logo_linux_mono.c:81: error: logo_linux_mono causes a section type conflict This was introduced by commit ae52bb2384f721562f15f719de1acb8e934733cb ("fbdev: move logo externs to header file"). This is a partial revert of that commit sufficient to not hit the compiler bug. Also convert _clut arrays from __initconst to __initdata. Sam said: Al analysed this some time ago. When we say something is const then _sometimes_ gcc annotate the section as const(?) - sometimes not. So if we have two variables/functions annotated __*const and gcc decides to annotate the section const only in one case we get a section type conflict.

2009-06-20kernel-doc: fix param matching for array paramsRandy Dunlap
Fix function actual parameter vs. kernel-doc description matching so that a warning is not printed when it should not be: Warning(include/linux/etherdevice.h:199): Excess function parameter 'addr' description in 'is_etherdev_addr' Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2009-06-20kernel-doc: ignore kmemcheck_bitfield_begin/endRandy Dunlap
Teach kernel-doc to ignore kmemcheck_bitfield_{begin,end} sugar so that it won't generate warnings like this: Warning(include/net/sock.h:297): No description found for parameter 'kmemcheck_bitfield_begin(flags)' Warning(include/net/sock.h:297): No description found for parameter 'kmemcheck_bitfield_end(flags)' Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

2009-06-18gcov: add gcov profiling infrastructurePeter Oberparleiter
Enable the use of GCC's coverage testing tool gcov [1] with the Linux kernel. gcov may be useful for: * debugging (has this code been reached at all?) * test improvement (how do I change my test to cover these lines?) * minimizing kernel configurations (do I need this option if the associated code is never run?) The profiling patch incorporates the following changes: * change kbuild to include profiling flags * provide functions needed by profiling code * present profiling data as files in debugfs Note that on some architectures, enabling gcc's profiling option "-fprofile-arcs" for the entire kernel may trigger compile/link/ run-time problems, some of which are caused by toolchain bugs and others which require adjustment of architecture code. For this reason profiling the entire kernel is initially restricted to those architectures for which it is known to work without changes. This restriction can be lifted once an architecture has been tested and found compatible with gcc's profiling. Profiling of single files or directories is still available on all platforms (see config help text).
