kallsyms: make KSYM_NAME_LEN include space for trailing '\0'

2007-07-17T17:23:03+00:00

KSYM_NAME_LEN is peculiar in that it does not include the space for the
trailing '\0', forcing all users to use KSYM_NAME_LEN + 1 when allocating
buffer.  This is nonsense and error-prone.  Moreover, when the caller
forgets that it's very likely to subtly bite back by corrupting the stack
because the last position of the buffer is always cleared to zero.

This patch increments KSYM_NAME_LEN by one and updates code accordingly.

* off-by-one bug in asm-powerpc/kprobes.h::kprobe_lookup_name() macro
  is fixed.

* Where MODULE_NAME_LEN and KSYM_NAME_LEN were used together,
  MODULE_NAME_LEN was treated as if it didn't include space for the
  trailing '\0'.  Fix it.

Fix race between cat /proc/slab_allocators and rmmod

2007-05-08T18:15:08+00:00

Same story as with cat /proc/*/wchan race vs rmmod race, only
/proc/slab_allocators want more info than just symbol name.

Fix race between cat /proc/*/wchan and rmmod et al

2007-05-08T18:15:08+00:00

kallsyms_lookup() can go iterating over modules list unprotected which is OK
for emergency situations (oops), but not OK for regular stuff like
/proc/*/wchan.

Introduce lookup_symbol_name()/lookup_module_symbol_name() which copy symbol
name into caller-supplied buffer or return -ERANGE.  All copying is done with
module_mutex held, so...

Extend print_symbol capability

2007-04-30T23:40:39+00:00

Today's print_symbol function dumps a kernel symbol with printk.  This
patch extends the functionality of kallsyms.c so that the symbol lookup
function may be used without the printk.  This is useful for modules that
want to dump symbols elsewhere, for example, to debugfs.  I intend to use
the new function call in the GFS2 file system (which will be a separate
patch).

[PATCH] Create kallsyms_lookup_size_offset()

2006-10-03T15:03:41+00:00

Some uses of kallsyms_lookup() do not need to find out the name of a symbol
and its module's name it belongs.  This is specially true in arch specific
code, which needs to unwind the stack to show the back trace during oops
(mips is an example).  In this specific case, we just need to retreive the
function's size and the offset of the active intruction inside it.

Adds a new entry "kallsyms_lookup_size_offset()" This new entry does
exactly the same as kallsyms_lookup() but does not require any buffers to
store any names.

It returns 0 if it fails otherwise 1.

[PATCH] lockdep: add print_ip_sym()

2006-07-03T22:27:00+00:00

Provide a common print_ip_sym() function that prints the passed instruction
pointer as well as the symbol belonging to it.  Avoids adding a bunch of
#ifdef CONFIG_64BIT in order to get the printk format right on 32/64 bit
platforms.

[PATCH] lockdep: special s390 print_symbol() version

2006-07-03T22:26:58+00:00

Have a special version of print_symbol() for s390 which clears the most
significant bit of addr before calling __print_symbol().  This seems to be
better than checking/changing each place in the kernel that saves an
instruction pointer.

Without this the output would look like:

hardirqs last  enabled at (30907): [<80018c6a>] 0x80018c6a
