2009-01-06scripts: script from kerneloops.org to pretty print oops dumpsArjan van de Ven
We're struggling all the time to figure out where the code came from that oopsed.. The script below (a adaption from a script used by kerneloops.org) can help developers quite a bit, at least for non-module cases. It works and looks like this: [/home/arjan/linux]$ dmesg | perl scripts/markup_oops.pl vmlinux { struct agp_memory *memory; memory = agp_allocate_memory(agp_bridge, pg_count, type); c055c10f: 89 c2 mov %eax,%edx if (memory == NULL) c055c111: 74 19 je c055c12c <agp_allocate_memory_wrap+0x30> /* This function must only be called when current_controller != NULL */ static void agp_insert_into_pool(struct agp_memory * temp) { struct agp_memory *prev; prev = agp_fe.current_controller->pool; c055c113: a1 ec dc 8f c0 mov 0xc08fdcec,%eax *c055c118: 8b 40 10 mov 0x10(%eax),%eax <----- faulting instruction if (prev != NULL) { c055c11b: 85 c0 test %eax,%eax c055c11d: 74 05 je c055c124 <agp_allocate_memory_wrap+0x28> prev->prev = temp; c055c11f: 89 50 04 mov %edx,0x4(%eax) temp->next = prev; c055c122: 89 02 mov %eax,(%edx) } agp_fe.current_controller->pool = temp; c055c124: a1 ec dc 8f c0 mov 0xc08fdcec,%eax c055c129: 89 50 10 mov %edx,0x10(%eax) if (memory == NULL) return NULL; agp_insert_into_pool(memory); so in this case, we faulted while dereferencing agp_fe.current_controller pointer, and we get to see exactly which function and line it affects... Personally I find this very useful, and I can see value for having this script in the kernel for more-than-just-me to use. Caveats: * It only works for oopses not-in-modules * It only works nicely for kernels compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO * It's not very fast. * It only works on x86 Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-12-19allow stripping of generated symbols under CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALLJan Beulich
Building upon parts of the module stripping patch, this patch introduces similar stripping for vmlinux when CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL=y. Using CONFIG_KALLSYMS_STRIP_GENERATED reduces the overhead of CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL from 245k/310k to 65k/80k for the (i386/x86-64) kernels I tested with. The patch also does away with the need to special case the kallsyms- internal symbols by making them available even in the first linking stage. While it is a generated file, the patch includes the changes to scripts/genksyms/keywords.c_shipped, as I'm unsure what the procedure here is.

2008-12-19kbuild: strip generated symbols from *.koJan Beulich
This patch changes the way __crc_ symbols are being resolved from using ld to do so to using the assembler, thus allowing these symbols to be marked local (the linker creates then as global ones) and hence allow stripping (for modules) or ignoring (for vmlinux) them. While at this, also strip other generated symbols during module installation. One potentially debatable point is the handling of the flags passeed to gcc when translating the intermediate assembly file into an object: passing $(c_flags) unchanged doesn't work as gcc passes --gdwarf2 to gas whenever is sees any -g* option, even for -g0, and despite the fact that the compiler would have already produced all necessary debug info in the C->assembly translation phase. I took the approach of just filtering out all -g* options, but an alternative to such negative filtering might be to have a positive filter which might, in the ideal case allow just all the -Wa,* options to pass through.

2008-12-03genksyms: allow to ignore symbol checksum changesAndreas Gruenbacher
This adds an "override" keyword for use in *.symvers / *.symref files. When a symbol is overridden, the symbol's old definition will be used for computing checksums instead of the new one, preserving the previous checksum. (Genksyms will still warn about the change.) This is meant to allow distributions to hide minor actual as well as fake ABI changes. (For example, when extra type information becomes available because additional headers are included, this may change checksums even though none of the types used have actully changed.) This approach also allows to get rid of "#ifdef __GENKSYMS__" hacks in the code, which are currently used in some vendor kernels to work around checksum changes.

2008-12-03genksyms: track symbol checksum changesAndreas Gruenbacher
Sometimes it is preferable to avoid changes of exported symbol checksums (to avoid breaking externally provided modules). When a checksum change occurs, it can be hard to figure out what caused this change: underlying types may have changed, or additional type information may simply have become available at the point where a symbol is exported. Add a new --reference option to genksyms which allows it to report why checksums change, based on the type information dumps it creates with the --dump-types flag. Genksyms will read in such a dump from a previous run, and report which symbols have changed (and why). The behavior can be controlled for an entire build as follows: If KBUILD_SYMTYPES is set, genksyms uses --dump-types to produce *.symtypes dump files. If any *.symref files exist, those will be used as the reference to check against. If KBUILD_PRESERVE is set, checksum changes will fail the build.

2008-12-03kbuild: fix -I option expansion with O=... buildsSam Ravnborg
When adding extra -I options with O=... we could end up in a situation where there were no parameters to -I. So we had a commandline that looked like this: ... -I -Wall ... This had the undesired side effect that gcc assumed "-Wall" was a path to look for include files so this options was effectively ignored. This happens only when we build the generated module.mod.c files as part of the final modules builds and is as such harmless with current kbuild. This bug was exposed when we rearranged the options to gcc. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
