While debugging latencies in the RT kernel, I found that it would be nice
to be able to filter away functions from the trace than just to filter
on functions.
I added a new interface to the debugfs tracing directory called
set_ftrace_notrace
When dynamic frace is enabled, this lets you filter away functions that will
not be recorded in the trace. It is similar to adding 'notrace' to those
functions but by doing it without recompiling the kernel.
Here's how set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace interact. Remember, if
set_ftrace_filter is set, it removes all functions from the trace execpt for
those listed in the set_ftrace_filter. set_ftrace_notrace will prevent those
functions from being traced.
If you were to set one function in both set_ftrace_filter and
set_ftrace_notrace and that function was the same, then you would end up
with an empty trace.
the set of functions to trace is:
set_ftrace_filter == empty then
all functions not in set_ftrace_notrace
else
set of the set_ftrace_filter and not in set of set_ftrace_notrace.

Based on Roland's patch. This approach was suggested by Austin Clements
from the very beginning, and then by Linus.
As Austin pointed out, the execing task can be killed by SI_TIMER signal
because exec flushes the signal handlers, but doesn't discard the pending
signals generated by posix timers. Perhaps not a bug, but people find this
surprising. See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10460

(Updated with a common max-stack-used checker that knows about
the canary, as suggested by Joe Perches)
Use a canary at the end of the stack to clearly indicate
at oops time whether the stack has ever overflowed.
This is a very simple implementation with a couple of
drawbacks:
1) a thread may legitimately use exactly up to the last
word on the stack
-- but the chances of doing this and then oopsing later seem slim
2) it's possible that the stack usage isn't dense enough
that the canary location could get skipped over
-- but the worst that happens is that we don't flag the overrun
-- though this happens fairly often in my testing :(
With the code in place, an intentionally-bloated stack oops might
do:
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff8103f84cc680

... unless the stack overrun is so bad that it corrupts some other

fix a bug noticed and fixed by pageexec@freemail.hu.
if built with -fstack-protector-all then we'll have canary checks built
into the __switch_to() function. That does not work well with the
canary-switching code there: while we already use the %rsp of the
new task, we still call __switch_to() whith the previous task's canary
value in the PDA, hence the __switch_to() ssp prologue instructions
will store the previous canary. Then we update the PDA and upon return
from __switch_to() the canary check triggers and we panic.
so update the canary after we have called __switch_to(), where we are
at the same stackframe level as the last stackframe of the next
(and now freshly current) task.
Note: this means that we call __switch_to() [and its sub-functions]
still with the old canary, but that is not a problem, both the previous
and the next task has a high-quality canary. The only (mostly academic)
disadvantage is that the canary of one task may leak onto the stack of
another task, increasing the risk of information leaks, were an attacker
able to read the stack of specific tasks (but not that of others).
To solve this we'll have to reorganize the way we switch tasks, and move
the PDA setting into the switch_to() assembly code. That will happen in
another patch.

The map size counter passed into, and back out of, sanitize_e820_map(),
was an eight bit type (char or u8), as derived from its origins in
legacy BIOS E820 structures. This patch changes that type to an 'int',
to allow this sanitize routine to also be used on larger maps (larger
than the 256 count that fits in a char). The legacy BIOS E820 interface
of course does not change; that remains at 8 bits for this count, holding
up to E820MAX == 128 entries. But the kernel internals can handle more
when those additional memory map entries are passed from the BIOS via
EFI interfaces.

Extend internal boot time memory tables to allow for up to
three entries per node, which may be larger than the 128 E820MAX
entries handled by the legacy BIOS E820 interface. The EFI
interface, if present, is capable of passing memory map
entries for these larger node counts.
This patch requires an earlier patch that rewrote code depending
on these array sizes from using E820MAX explicitly to size loops,
to instead using ARRAY_SIZE() of the applicable array.
Another patch following this one will provide the code to pick
up additional memory entries passed via the EFI interface from
the BIOS and insert them in the following, now enlarged, arrays.

This patch is motivated by a subsequent patch which will allow for more
memory map entries on EFI supported systems than can be passed via the x86
legacy BIOS E820 interface. The legacy interface is limited to E820MAX ==
128 memory entries, and that "E820MAX" manifest constant was used as the
size for several arrays and loops over those arrays.
The primary change in this patch is to change code loop sizes over those
arrays from using the constant E820MAX, to using the ARRAY_SIZE() macro
evaluated for the array being looped. That way, a subsequent patch can
change the size of some of these arrays, without breaking this code.
This patch also adds a parameter to the sanitize_e820_map() routine,
which had an implicit size for the array passed it of E820MAX entries.
This new parameter explicitly passes the size of said array. Once again,
this will allow a subsequent patch to change that array size for some
calls to sanitize_e820_map() without breaking the code.
As part of enhancing the sanitize_e820_map() interface this way, I further
combined the unnecessarily distinct x86_32 and x86_64 declarations for
this routine into a single, commonly used, declaration.
This patch in itself should make no difference to the resulting kernel
binary.

The use of #defines with '##' pre-processor concatenation is a useful
way to form several symbol names with a common pattern. But when there
is just a single name obtained from that #define, it's just obfuscation.
Better to just write the plain symbol name, as is.
The following patch is a result of my wasting ten minutes looking through
the kernel to figure out what 'PB_migrate_end' meant, and forgetting what
I came to do, by the time I figured out that the #define PB_range macro

- early_param("mem", ...) parsing is moved from
setup_32.c to e820_32.c.
- setup_memory_map() and finish_e820_parsing() are
factored out from setup_arch(), and declarations
are added to e820_32.h.
- print_memory_map() is made static and removed from
e820_32.h.
- user_defined_memmap is marked as __initdata.

"I notice that none of the current softirq routines use the data element
passed to them."
and the situation hasn't changed since them. So it appears we can safely
remove that extra argument to save 128 (54) bytes of kernel data (text).
