We re-named 'DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG' to 'DYNAMIC_DEBUG' in 2.6.30.... 'PRINTK_DEBUG' as pointed out never existed. So, it appears to be extraneous, and should be removed. thanks for pointing it out.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The feature needs some more work because the notfier which is used to check for pending allocations is called before the device drivers ->remove() function. Therefore this feature reports false positives. A real fix for this issue is to introduce a new notifier event which sent _after_ the driver has deinitialized itself. That will done for the next kernel version.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit f520360d93cdc37de5d972dac4bf3bdef6a7f6a7. Tetsuo Handa, running a kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y and CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH=/sbin/hotplug, has been hitting RCU detected CPU stalls: it's been spinning in the loop where do_execve() counts up the args (but why wasn't fixup_exception working? dunno). The recent change, switching kobject_uevent_env() from UMH_WAIT_EXEC to UMH_NO_WAIT, is broken: the exec uses args on the local stack here, and an env which is kfreed as soon as call_usermodehelper() returns. It very much needs to wait for the exec to be done. An alternative would be to keep the UMH_NO_WAIT, and complicate the code to allocate and free these resources correctly? but no, as GregKH pointed out when making the commit, CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH="" is a much better optimization - though some distros are still saying /sbin/hotplug in their .config, yet with no such binary in their initrd or their root.

* lockdep: warn about lockdep disabling after kernel taintFrederic Weisbecker2009-04-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: provide useful missing info for developers Kernel taint can occur in several situations such as warnings, load of prorietary or staging modules, bad page, etc... But when such taint happens, a developer might still be working on the kernel, expecting that lockdep is still enabled. But a taint disables lockdep without ever warning about it. Such a kernel behaviour doesn't really help for kernel development. This patch adds this missing warning. Since the taint is done most of the time after the main message that explain the real source issue, it seems safe to warn about it inside add_taint() so that it appears at last, without hurting the main information. v2: Use a generic helper to disable lockdep instead of an open coded xchg().

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.

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>

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.

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).

This patch attaches unique ID to each css and provides following. - css_lookup(subsys, id) returns pointer to struct cgroup_subysys_state of id. - css_get_next(subsys, id, rootid, depth, foundid) returns the next css under "root" by scanning When cgroup_subsys->use_id is set, an id for css is maintained. The cgroup framework only parepares - css_id of root css for subsys - id is automatically attached at creation of css. - id is *not* freed automatically. Because the cgroup framework don't know lifetime of cgroup_subsys_state. free_css_id() function is provided. This must be called by subsys. There are several reasons to develop this. - Saving space .... For example, memcg's swap_cgroup is array of pointers to cgroup. But it is not necessary to be very fast. By replacing pointers(8bytes per ent) to ID (2byes per ent), we can reduce much amount of memory usage. - Scanning without lock. CSS_ID provides "scan id under this ROOT" function. By this, scanning css under root can be written without locks. ex) do { rcu_read_lock(); next = cgroup_get_next(subsys, id, root, &found); /* check sanity of next here */ css_tryget(); rcu_read_unlock(); id = found + 1 } while(...) Characteristics: - Each css has unique ID under subsys. - Lifetime of ID is controlled by subsys. - css ID contains "ID" and "Depth in hierarchy" and stack of hierarchy - Allowed ID is 1-65535, ID 0 is UNUSED ID. Design Choices: - scan-by-ID v.s. scan-by-tree-walk. As /proc's pid scan does, scan-by-ID is robust when scanning is done by following kind of routine. scan -> rest a while(release a lock) -> conitunue from interrupted memcg's hierarchical reclaim does this. - When subsys->use_id is set, # of css in the system is limited to 65535.
