2008-02-03Add HAVE_KPROBESMathieu Desnoyers9-1/+12
Linus: On the per-architecture side, I do think it would be better to *not* have internal architecture knowledge in a generic file, and as such a line like depends on X86_32 || IA64 || PPC || S390 || SPARC64 || X86_64 || AVR32 really shouldn't exist in a file like kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation. It would be much better to do depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES in that generic file, and then architectures that do support it would just have a bool ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES default y in *their* architecture files. That would seem to be much more logical, and is readable both for arch maintainers *and* for people who have no clue - and don't care - about which architecture is supposed to support which interface... Changelog: Actually, I know I gave this as the magic incantation, but now that I see it, I realize that I should have told you to just use config KPROBES_SUPPORT def_bool y instead, which is a bit denser. We seem to use both kinds of syntax for these things, but this is really what "def_bool" is there for... - Use HAVE_KPROBES - Use a select - Yet another update : Moving to HAVE_* now. - Update ARM for kprobes support.

2008-02-03Create arch/KconfigMathieu Desnoyers2-0/+5
Puts the content of arch/Kconfig in the "General setup" menu. Linus: > Should it come with a re-duplication of it's content into each > architecture, which was the case previously ? The oprofile and kprobes > menu entries were litteraly cut and pasted from one architecture to > another. Should we put its content in init/Kconfig then ? I don't think it's a good idea to go back to making it per-architecture, although that extensive "depends on <list-of-archiectures-here>" might indicate that there certainly is room for cleanup there. And I don't think it's wrong keeping it in kernel/Kconfig.xyz per se, I just think it's wrong to (a) lump the code together when it really doesn't necessarily need to and (b) show it to users as some kind of choice that is tied together (whether it then has common code or not). On the per-architecture side, I do think it would be better to *not* have internal architecture knowledge in a generic file, and as such a line like depends on X86_32 || IA64 || PPC || S390 || SPARC64 || X86_64 || AVR32 really shouldn't exist in a file like kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation. It would be much better to do depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES in that generic file, and then architectures that do support it would just have a bool ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES default y in *their* architecture files. That would seem to be much more logical, and is readable both for arch maintainers *and* for people who have no clue - and don't care - about which architecture is supposed to support which interface... Sam Ravnborg: Stuff it into a new file: arch/Kconfig We can then extend this file to include all the 'trailing' Kconfig things that are anyway equal for all ARCHs. But it should be kept clean - so if we introduce such a file then we should use ARCH_HAS_whatever in the arch specific Kconfig files to enable stuff that is not shared. [...] The above suggestion is actually not exactly the best way to do it... First the naming.. A quick grep shows following usage today (in Kconfig files) ARCH_HAS 51 ARCH_SUPPORTS 4 HAVE_ARCH 7 ARCH_HAS is the clear winner. In the common Kconfig file do: config FOO depends on ARCH_HAS_FOO bool "bla bla" config ARCH_HAS_FOO def_bool n In the arch specific Kconfig file in a suitable place do: config SUITABLE_OPTION select ARCH_HAS_FOO The naming of ARCH_HAS_ is fixed and shall be: ARCH_HAS_<config option it will enable> Only a single line added pr. architecture. And we will end up with a (maybe even commented) list of trivial selects. - Yet another update : Moving to HAVE_* now.

2008-02-03Fix ARM to play nicely with generic Instrumentation menuMathieu Desnoyers3-64/+19
The conflicting commit for move-kconfiginstrumentation-to-arch-kconfig-and-init-kconfig.patch is the ARM fix from Linus : commit 38ad9aebe70dc72df08851bbd1620d89329129ba He just seemed to agree that my approach (just putting the missing ARM config options in arch/arm/Kconfig) works too. The main advantage it has is that it is smaller, does not need a cleanup in the future and does not break the following patches unnecessarily. It's just been discussed here http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/15/267 However, Linus might prefer to stay with his own patch and I would totally understand it that late in the release cycle. Therefore I submit this for the next release cycle.

2008-02-03kconfig: ignore select of unknown symbolSam Ravnborg1-6/+3
We have had warnings for a long time about select of unknow symbol but the warnings does not really makes sense since we may select a symbol that is relevant and defined in one arch but not in another arch. And as long as we do not use a common set of Kconfig files for all archs lets just ignore this case. Previously we have used this to find bad uses of select but we need a more relaible method to do so. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Roman Zippel <zippel@linux-m68k.org>

2008-02-03Remove __INIT_REFOK and __INITDATA_REFOKRalf Baechle1-3/+0
Commit 312b1485fb509c9bc32eda28ad29537896658cb8 made __INIT_REFOK expand into .section .section ".ref.text", "ax". Since the assembler doesn't tolerate stuttering in the source that broke all MIPS builds. Since with this change Sam downgraded __INIT_REFOK to just a backward compat thing and there being only a single use in the MIPS arch code the best solution is to delete both of __INIT_REFOK and __INITDATA_REFOK (which was equally broken) being unused anyway these can be deleted.

2008-02-03fix writev regression: pan hanging unkillable and un-straceableNick Piggin1-2/+6
Frederik Himpe reported an unkillable and un-straceable pan process. Zero length iovecs can go into an infinite loop in writev, because the iovec iterator does not always advance over them. The sequence required to trigger this is not trivial. I think it requires that a zero-length iovec be followed by a non-zero-length iovec which causes a pagefault in the atomic usercopy. This causes the writev code to drop back into single-segment copy mode, which then tries to copy the 0 bytes of the zero-length iovec; a zero length copy looks like a failure though, so it loops. Put a test into iov_iter_advance to catch zero-length iovecs. We could just put the test in the fallback path, but I feel it is more robust to skip over zero-length iovecs throughout the code (iovec iterator may be used in filesystems too, so it should be robust).
