2017-09-29x86/stacktrace: Avoid recording save_stack_trace() wrappersVlastimil Babka
The save_stack_trace() and save_stack_trace_tsk() wrappers of __save_stack_trace() add themselves to the call stack, and thus appear in the recorded stacktraces. This is redundant and wasteful when we have limited space to record the useful part of the backtrace with e.g. page_owner functionality. Fix this by making sure __save_stack_trace() is noinline (which matches the current gcc decision) and bumping the skip in the wrappers (save_stack_trace_tsk() only when called for the current task). This is similar to what was done for arm in 3683f44c42e9 ("ARM: stacktrace: avoid listing stacktrace functions in stacktrace") and is pending for arm64. Also make sure that __save_stack_trace_reliable() doesn't get this problem in the future by marking it __always_inline (which matches current gcc decision), per Josh Poimboeuf.

2017-03-08stacktrace/x86: add function for detecting reliable stack tracesJosh Poimboeuf
For live patching and possibly other use cases, a stack trace is only useful if it can be assured that it's completely reliable. Add a new save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable() function to achieve that. Note that if the target task isn't the current task, and the target task is allowed to run, then it could be writing the stack while the unwinder is reading it, resulting in possible corruption. So the caller of save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable() must ensure that the task is either 'current' or inactive. save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable() relies on the x86 unwinder's detection of pt_regs on the stack. If the pt_regs are not user-mode registers from a syscall, then they indicate an in-kernel interrupt or exception (e.g. preemption or a page fault), in which case the stack is considered unreliable due to the nature of frame pointers. It also relies on the x86 unwinder's detection of other issues, such as: - corrupted stack data - stack grows the wrong way - stack walk doesn't reach the bottom - user didn't provide a large enough entries array Such issues are reported by checking unwind_error() and !unwind_done(). Also add CONFIG_HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE so arch-independent code can determine at build time whether the function is implemented.

2016-09-15x86/dumpstack: Add get_stack_info() interfaceJosh Poimboeuf
valid_stack_ptr() is buggy: it assumes that all stacks are of size THREAD_SIZE, which is not true for exception stacks. So the walk_stack() callbacks will need to know the location of the beginning of the stack as well as the end. Another issue is that in general the various features of a stack (type, size, next stack pointer, description string) are scattered around in various places throughout the stack dump code. Encapsulate all that information in a single place with a new stack_info struct and a get_stack_info() interface.

2016-07-14x86/kernel: Audit and remove any unnecessary uses of module.hPaul Gortmaker
Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends. That changed when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file. This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig. The advantage in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers; adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what headers we are effectively using. Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each obj-y/bool instance for the presence of either and replace as needed. Build testing revealed some implicit header usage that was fixed up accordingly. Note that some bool/obj-y instances remain since module.h is the header for some exception table entry stuff, and for things like __init_or_module (code that is tossed when MODULES=n).

2011-03-18x86, dumpstack: Correct stack dump info when frame pointer is availableNamhyung Kim
Current stack dump code scans entire stack and check each entry contains a pointer to kernel code. If CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y it could mark whether the pointer is valid or not based on value of the frame pointer. Invalid entries could be preceded by '?' sign. However this was not going to happen because scan start point was always higher than the frame pointer so that they could not meet. Commit 9c0729dc8062 ("x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack tracing routines") delayed bp acquisition point, so the bp was read in lower frame, thus all of the entries were marked invalid. This patch fixes this by reverting above commit while retaining stack_frame() helper as suggested by Frederic Weisbecker. End result looks like below: before: [ 3.508329] Call Trace: [ 3.508551] [<ffffffff814f35c9>] ? panic+0x91/0x199 [ 3.508662] [<ffffffff814f3739>] ? printk+0x68/0x6a [ 3.508770] [<ffffffff81a981b2>] ? mount_block_root+0x257/0x26e [ 3.508876] [<ffffffff81a9821f>] ? mount_root+0x56/0x5a [ 3.508975] [<ffffffff81a98393>] ? prepare_namespace+0x170/0x1a9 [ 3.509216] [<ffffffff81a9772b>] ? kernel_init+0x1d2/0x1e2 [ 3.509335] [<ffffffff81003894>] ? kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10 [ 3.509442] [<ffffffff814f6880>] ? restore_args+0x0/0x30 [ 3.509542] [<ffffffff81a97559>] ? kernel_init+0x0/0x1e2 [ 3.509641] [<ffffffff81003890>] ? kernel_thread_helper+0x0/0x10 after: [ 3.522991] Call Trace: [ 3.523351] [<ffffffff814f35b9>] panic+0x91/0x199 [ 3.523468] [<ffffffff814f3729>] ? printk+0x68/0x6a [ 3.523576] [<ffffffff81a981b2>] mount_block_root+0x257/0x26e [ 3.523681] [<ffffffff81a9821f>] mount_root+0x56/0x5a [ 3.523780] [<ffffffff81a98393>] prepare_namespace+0x170/0x1a9 [ 3.523885] [<ffffffff81a9772b>] kernel_init+0x1d2/0x1e2 [ 3.523987] [<ffffffff81003894>] kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10 [ 3.524228] [<ffffffff814f6880>] ? restore_args+0x0/0x30 [ 3.524345] [<ffffffff81a97559>] ? kernel_init+0x0/0x1e2 [ 3.524445] [<ffffffff81003890>] ? kernel_thread_helper+0x0/0x10 -v5: * fix build breakage with oprofile -v4: * use 0 instead of regs->bp * separate out printk changes -v3: * apply comment from Frederic * add a couple of printk fixes Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@gmail.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Soren Sandmann <ssp@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com> LKML-Reference: <1300416006-3163-1-git-send-email-namhyung@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2010-11-18x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack tracing routinesSoeren Sandmann Pedersen
The various stack tracing routines take a 'bp' argument in which the caller is supposed to provide the base pointer to use, or 0 if doesn't have one. Since bp is garbage whenever CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not defined, this means all callers in principle should either always pass 0, or be conditional on CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER. However, there are only really three use cases for stack tracing: (a) Trace the current task, including IRQ stack if any (b) Trace the current task, but skip IRQ stack (c) Trace some other task In all cases, if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not defined, bp should just be 0. If it _is_ defined, then - in case (a) bp should be gotten directly from the CPU's register, so the caller should pass NULL for regs, - in case (b) the caller should should pass the IRQ registers to dump_trace(), - in case (c) bp should be gotten from the top of the task's stack, so the caller should pass NULL for regs. Hence, the bp argument is not necessary because the combination of task and regs is sufficient to determine an appropriate value for bp. This patch introduces a new inline function stack_frame(task, regs) that computes the desired bp. This function is then called from the two versions of dump_stack().

2009-12-17perf events, x86/stacktrace: Make stack walking optionalFrederic Weisbecker
The current print_context_stack helper that does the stack walking job is good for usual stacktraces as it walks through all the stack and reports even addresses that look unreliable, which is nice when we don't have frame pointers for example. But we have users like perf that only require reliable stacktraces, and those may want a more adapted stack walker, so lets make this function a callback in stacktrace_ops that users can tune for their needs.

Currently, there is no way for print_stack_trace() to determine whether a given stack trace entry was deemed reliable or not, simply because save_stack_trace() does not record this information. (Perhaps needless to say, this makes the saved stack traces A LOT harder to read, and probably with no other benefits, since debugging features that use save_stack_trace() most likely also require frame pointers, etc.) This patch reverts to the old behaviour of only recording the reliable trace entries for saved stack traces.

Additionally: - fix up comment formatting in scx200_32.c - Remove a credit from myself in setup_64.c from a time when we had no SCM - remove longwinded history from tsc_32.c which can be figured out from git.
