2013-05-01linkage.h: fix build breakage due to symbol prefix handlingJames Hogan1-5/+2
Al's commit e1b5bb6d1236 ("consolidate cond_syscall and SYSCALL_ALIAS declarations") broke the build on blackfin and metag due to the following code: #ifndef SYMBOL_NAME #ifdef CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX #define SYMBOL_NAME(x) CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX ## x #else #define SYMBOL_NAME(x) x #endif #endif #define __SYMBOL_NAME(x) __stringify(SYMBOL_NAME(x)) __stringify literally stringifies CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX ##x, so you get lines like this in kernel/sys_ni.s: .weak CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIXsys_quotactl .set CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIXsys_quotactl,CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIXsys_ni_syscall The patches in Rusty's modules-next tree such as "CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX: cleanup." cleans up the whole mess around symbol prefixes, so this patch just attempts to fix the build in the meantime. The intermediate definition of SYMBOL_NAME above isn't used and is incorrect when CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is defined as CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is a quoted string literal, so define __SYMBOL_NAME directly depending on CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX.

2009-09-21kbuild: Don't define ALIGN and ENTRY when preprocessing linker scripts.Tim Abbott1-0/+2
Adding a reference to <linux/linkage.h> to x86's <asm/cache.h> causes the x86 linker script to have syntax errors, because the ALIGN and ENTRY keywords get redefined to the assembly implementations of those. One could fix this by adjusting the include structure, but I think any solution based on that approach would be fragile. Currently, it is impossible when writing a header to do something different for assembly files and linker scripts, even though there are clearly cases where one wants them to define macros differently for the two (ENTRY being an excellent example). So I think the right solution here is to introduce a new preprocessor definition, called LINKER_SCRIPT that is set along with __ASSEMBLY__ for linker scripts, and to use that to not define ALIGN and ENTRY in linker scripts. I suspect we'll find other uses for this mechanism in the future. Signed-off-by: Tim Abbott <tabbott@ksplice.com> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2009-06-26Add new macros for page-aligned data and bss sections.Tim Abbott1-0/+9
This patch is preparation for replacing most uses of ".bss.page_aligned" and ".data.page_aligned" in the kernel with macros, so that the section name can later be changed without having to touch a lot of the kernel. The long-term goal here is to be able to change the kernel's magic section names to those that are compatible with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections. This requires renaming all magic sections with names of the form ".data.foo".

2008-07-08build: add __page_aligned_data and __page_aligned_bssJeremy Fitzhardinge1-0/+4
Making a variable page-aligned by using __attribute__((section(".data.page_aligned"))) is fragile because if sizeof(variable) is not also a multiple of page size, it leaves variables in the remainder of the section unaligned. This patch introduces two new qualifiers, __page_aligned_data and __page_aligned_bss to set the section *and* the alignment of variables. This makes page-aligned variables more robust because the linker will make sure they're aligned properly. Unfortunately it requires *all* page-aligned data to use these macros...

2008-04-11Fix "$(AS) -traditional" compile breakage caused by asmlinkage_protectHeiko Carstens1-0/+3
git commit 54a015104136974262afa4b8ddd943ea70dec8a2 ("asmlinkage_protect replaces prevent_tail_call") causes this build failure on s390: AS arch/s390/kernel/entry64.o In file included from arch/s390/kernel/entry64.S:14: include/linux/linkage.h:34: error: syntax error in macro parameter list make[1]: *** [arch/s390/kernel/entry64.o] Error 1 make: *** [arch/s390/kernel] Error 2 and some other architectures. The reason is that some architectures add the "-traditional" flag to the invocation of $(AS), which disables variadic macro argument support. So just surround the new define with an #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__ to prevent any side effects on asm code.

2008-04-10Add commentary about the new "asmlinkage_protect()" macroLinus Torvalds1-0/+13
It's really a pretty ugly thing to need, and some day it will hopefully be obviated by teaching gcc about the magic calling conventions for the low-level system call code, but in the meantime we can at least add big honking comments about why we need these insane and strange macros. I took my comments from my version of the macro, but I ended up deciding to just pick Roland's version of the actual code instead (with his prettier syntax that uses vararg macros). Thus the previous two commits that actually implement it. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-04-10asmlinkage_protect replaces prevent_tail_callRoland McGrath1-2/+2
The prevent_tail_call() macro works around the problem of the compiler clobbering argument words on the stack, which for asmlinkage functions is the caller's (user's) struct pt_regs. The tail/sibling-call optimization is not the only way that the compiler can decide to use stack argument words as scratch space, which we have to prevent. Other optimizations can do it too. Until we have new compiler support to make "asmlinkage" binding on the compiler's own use of the stack argument frame, we have work around all the manifestations of this issue that crop up. More cases seem to be prevented by also keeping the incoming argument variables live at the end of the function. This makes their original stack slots attractive places to leave those variables, so the compiler tends not clobber them for something else. It's still no guarantee, but it handles some observed cases that prevent_tail_call() did not.

2006-09-26[PATCH] x86: error_code is not safe for kprobesPrasanna S.P1-1/+5
This patch moves the entry.S:error_entry to .kprobes.text section, since code marked unsafe for kprobes jumps directly to entry.S::error_entry, that must be marked unsafe as well. This patch also moves all the ".previous.text" asm directives to ".previous" for kprobes section. AK: Following a similar i386 patch from Chuck Ebbert AK: Also merged Jeremy's fix in. +From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> KPROBE_ENTRY does a .section .kprobes.text, and expects its users to do a .previous at the end of the function. Unfortunately, if any code within the function switches sections, for example .fixup, then the .previous ends up putting all subsequent code into .fixup. Worse, any subsequent .fixup code gets intermingled with the code its supposed to be fixing (which is also in .fixup). It's surprising this didn't cause more havok. The fix is to use .pushsection/.popsection, so this stuff nests properly. A further cleanup would be to get rid of all .section/.previous pairs, since they're inherently fragile. +From: Chuck Ebbert <76306.1226@compuserve.com> Because code marked unsafe for kprobes jumps directly to entry.S::error_code, that must be marked unsafe as well. The easiest way to do that is to move the page fault entry point to just before error_code and let it inherit the same section. Also moved all the ".previous" asm directives for kprobes sections to column 1 and removed ".text" from them.

2005-09-07[PATCH] Kprobes: prevent possible race conditions genericPrasanna S Panchamukhi1-0/+7
There are possible race conditions if probes are placed on routines within the kprobes files and routines used by the kprobes. For example if you put probe on get_kprobe() routines, the system can hang while inserting probes on any routine such as do_fork(). Because while inserting probes on do_fork(), register_kprobes() routine grabs the kprobes spin lock and executes get_kprobe() routine and to handle probe of get_kprobe(), kprobes_handler() gets executed and tries to grab kprobes spin lock, and spins forever. This patch avoids such possible race conditions by preventing probes on routines within the kprobes file and routines used by kprobes. I have modified the patches as per Andi Kleen's suggestion to move kprobes routines and other routines used by kprobes to a seperate section .kprobes.text. Also moved page fault and exception handlers, general protection fault to .kprobes.text section. These patches have been tested on i386, x86_64 and ppc64 architectures, also compiled on ia64 and sparc64 architectures.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
