2008-10-14ftrace: remove old pointers to mcountSteven Rostedt
When a mcount pointer is recorded into a table, it is used to add or remove calls to mcount (replacing them with nops). If the code is removed via removing a module, the pointers still exist. At modifying the code a check is always made to make sure the code being replaced is the code expected. In-other-words, the code being replaced is compared to what it is expected to be before being replaced. There is a very small chance that the code being replaced just happens to look like code that calls mcount (very small since the call to mcount is relative). To remove this chance, this patch adds ftrace_release to allow module unloading to remove the pointers to mcount within the module. Another change for init calls is made to not trace calls marked with __init. The tracing can not be started until after init is done anyway.

2008-08-12modules: extend initcall_debug functionality to the module loaderArjan van de Ven
The kernel has this really nice facility where if you put "initcall_debug" on the kernel commandline, it'll print which function it's going to execute just before calling an initcall, and then after the call completes it will 1) print if it had an error code 2) checks for a few simple bugs (like leaving irqs off) and 3) print how long the init call took in milliseconds. While trying to optimize the boot speed of my laptop, I have been loving number 3 to figure out what to optimize... ... and then I wished that the same thing was done for module loading. This patch makes the module loader use this exact same functionality; it's a logical extension in my view (since modules are just sort of late binding initcalls anyway) and so far I've found it quite useful in finding where things are too slow in my boot.

2008-07-26Better interface for hooking early initcallsEduard - Gabriel Munteanu
Added early initcall (pre-SMP) support, using an identical interface to that of regular initcalls. Functions called from do_pre_smp_initcalls() could be converted to use this cleaner interface. This is required by CPU hotplug, because early users have to register notifiers before going SMP. One such CPU hotplug user is the relay interface with buffer-only channels, which needs to register such a notifier, to be usable in early code. This in turn is used by kmemtrace.

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.

2008-01-28Introduce new section reference annotations tags: __ref, __refdata, __refconstSam Ravnborg
Today we have the following annotations for functions/data referencing __init/__exit functions / data: __init_refok => for init functions __initdata_refok => for init data __exit_refok => for exit functions There is really no difference between the __init and __exit versions and simplify it and to introduce a shorter annotation the following new annotations are introduced: __ref => for functions (code) that references __*init / __*exit __refdata => for variables __refconst => for const variables Whit this annotation is it more obvious what the annotation is for and there is no longer the arbitary division between __init and __exit code. The mechanishm is the same as before - a special section is created which is made part of the usual sections in the linker script. We will start to see annotations like this: -static struct pci_serial_quirk pci_serial_quirks[] = { +static const struct pci_serial_quirk pci_serial_quirks[] __refconst = { ----------------- -static struct notifier_block __cpuinitdata cpuid_class_cpu_notifier = +static struct notifier_block cpuid_class_cpu_notifier __refdata = ---------------- -static int threshold_cpu_callback(struct notifier_block *nfb, +static int __ref threshold_cpu_callback(struct notifier_block *nfb, [The above is just random samples].

2008-01-28Use separate sections for __dev/__cpu/__mem code/dataSam Ravnborg
Introducing separate sections for __dev* (HOTPLUG), __cpu* (HOTPLUG_CPU) and __mem* (MEMORY_HOTPLUG) allows us to do a much more reliable Section mismatch check in modpost. We are no longer dependent on the actual configuration of for example HOTPLUG. This has the effect that all users see much more Section mismatch warnings than before because they were almost all hidden when HOTPLUG was enabled. The advantage of this is that when building a piece of code then it is much more likely that the Section mismatch errors are spotted and the warnings will be felt less random of nature.

2007-10-10[NETNS]: Move some code into __init section when CONFIG_NET_NS=nPavel Emelyanov
With the net namespaces many code leaved the __init section, thus making the kernel occupy more memory than it did before. Since we have a config option that prohibits the namespace creation, the functions that initialize/finalize some netns stuff are simply not needed and can be freed after the boot. Currently, this is almost not noticeable, since few calls are no longer in __init, but when the namespaces will be merged it will be possible to free more code. I propose to use the __net_init, __net_exit and __net_initdata "attributes" for functions/variables that are not used if the CONFIG_NET_NS is not set to save more space in memory. The exiting functions cannot just reside in the __exit section, as noticed by David, since the init section will have references on it and the compilation will fail due to modpost checks. These references can exist, since the init namespace never dies and the exit callbacks are never called. So I introduce the __exit_refok attribute just like it is already done with the __init_refok.

2007-07-21x86: Support __attribute__((__cold__)) in gcc 4.3Andi Kleen
gcc 4.3 supports a new __attribute__((__cold__)) to mark functions cold. Any path directly leading to a call of this function will be unlikely. And gcc will try to generate smaller code for the function itself. Please use with care. The code generation advantage isn't large and in most cases it is not worth uglifying code with this. This patch marks some common error functions like panic(), printk() as cold. This will longer term make many unlikely()s unnecessary, although we can keep them for now for older compilers. BUG is not marked cold because there is currently no way to tell gcc to mark a inline function told. Also all __init and __exit functions are marked cold. With a non -Os build this will tell the compiler to generate slightly smaller code for them. I think it currently only uses less alignments for labels, but that might change in the future. One disadvantage over *likely() is that they cannot be easily instrumented to verify them. Another drawback is that only the latest gcc 4.3 snapshots support this. Unfortunately we cannot detect this using the preprocessor. This means older snapshots will fail now. I don't think that's a problem because they are unreleased compilers that nobody should be using. gcc also has a __hot__ attribute, but I don't see any sense in using this in the kernel right now. But someday I hope gcc will be able to use more aggressive optimizing for hot functions even in -Os, if that happens it should be added. Includes compile fix from Thomas Gleixner.

2007-02-12[PATCH] Dynamic kernel command-line: commonAlon Bar-Lev
Current implementation stores a static command-line buffer allocated to COMMAND_LINE_SIZE size. Most architectures stores two copies of this buffer, one for future reference and one for parameter parsing. Current kernel command-line size for most architecture is much too small for module parameters, video settings, initramfs paramters and much more. The problem is that setting COMMAND_LINE_SIZE to a grater value, allocates static buffers. In order to allow a greater command-line size, these buffers should be dynamically allocated or marked as init disposable buffers, so unused memory can be released. This patch renames the static saved_command_line variable into boot_command_line adding __initdata attribute, so that it can be disposed after initialization. This rename is required so applications that use saved_command_line will not be affected by this change. It reintroduces saved_command_line as dynamically allocated buffer to match the data in boot_command_line. It also mark secondary command-line buffer as __initdata, and copies it to dynamically allocated static_command_line buffer components may hold reference to it after initialization. This patch is for linux-2.6.20-rc4-mm1 and is divided to target each architecture. I could not check this in any architecture so please forgive me if I got it wrong. The per-architecture modification is very simple, use boot_command_line in place of saved_command_line. The common code is the change into dynamic command-line. This patch: 1. Rename saved_command_line into boot_command_line, mark as init disposable. 2. Add dynamic allocated saved_command_line. 3. Add dynamic allocated static_command_line. 4. During startup copy: boot_command_line into saved_command_line. arch command_line into static_command_line. 5. Parse static_command_line and not arch command_line, so arch command_line may be freed.

2006-10-27[PATCH] drivers: wait for threaded probes between initcall levelsAndrew Morton
The multithreaded-probing code has a problem: after one initcall level (eg, core_initcall) has been processed, we will then start processing the next level (postcore_initcall) while the kernel threads which are handling core_initcall are still executing. This breaks the guarantees which the layered initcalls previously gave us. IOW, we want to be multithreaded _within_ an initcall level, but not between different levels. Fix that up by causing the probing code to wait for all outstanding probes at one level to complete before we start processing the next level.
