Commit 7d3cc8b tried to keep bounds.h and asm-offsets.h during make
clean by filtering these out of $(clean-files), but they are listed in
$(targets) and $(always) and thus removed automatically. Introduce a new
$(no-clean-files) variable to really skip such files in Makefile.clean.

Given that absolute paths can be forced by make O=. cscope, change the
default back to relative paths.

Currently looking up a structure definition in TAGS / tags takes one to
one of multiple "static struct X" definitions in arch sources, which makes
it for many structs practically impossible to get to the required header.
This patch changes the order of sources being tagged to first scan
architecture includes, then the top-level include/ directory, and only
then the rest. It also takes into account, that many architectures have
more than one include directory, i.e., not only arch/$ARCH/include, but
also arch/$ARCH/mach-X/include etc.

The markup_oops.pl have 3 troubles to support cross-compiler environment:
1. It use objdump directly.
2. It use modinfo to get the message of module.
3. It use hex function that cannot support 64-bit number in 32-bit arch.
This patch add 3 options to markup_oops.pl:
1. -c CROSS_COMPILE Specify the prefix used for toolchain.
2. -m MODULE_DIRNAME Specify the module directory name.
3. Change hex function to Math::BigInt->from_hex.
After this patch, parse the x8664 oops in x86, we can:

Just a small change to a couple of scripts to go from
#!/usr/bin/env python
to
#!/usr/bin/python
This shouldn't effect anyone, unless they don't install python there.
In preparation for python3, Fedora is doing a big push to change the scripts
to use the system python. This allows developers to put the python3 in
their path without fear of breaking existing scripts.
Now I am pretty sure anyone using python3 for testing purposes will probably
not run any of the scripts I changed, but Fedora has this automated tool
that checks for this stuff so I thought I would try to push it upstream.

Suppress a warn_unused_result warning.
fgets is called as a part of error handling. It is called just to drop a
line and return immediately. read_map is reading the file in a loop and
read_symbol reads line by line. So I think there is no point in using
return value for useful checking. Other checks like 3 items were returned
or !EOF have already been done.

While looking for something else I noticed that the symbol
hash function used by kconfig is quite poor. It doesn't
use any of the standard hash techniques but simply
adds up the string and then uses power of two masking,
which is both known to perform poorly.
The current x86 kconfig has over 7000 symbols.
When I instrumented it showed that the minimum hash chain
length was 16 and a significant number of them was over
30.
It didn't help that the hash table size was only 256 buckets.
This patch increases the hash table size to a larger prime
and switches to a FNV32 hash. I played around with a couple of hash
functions, but that one seemed to perform best with reasonable
hash table sizes.
Increasing the hash table size even further didn't
seem like a good idea, because there are a couple of global
walks which walk the complete hash table.
I also moved the unnamed bucket to 0. It's still the longest
of all the buckets (44 entries), but hopefully it's not
often hit except for the global walk which doesn't care.
The result is a much nicer distribution:
(first column bucket length, second number of buckets with that length)
1: 3505
2: 1236
3: 294
4: 52
5: 3
47: 1 <--- this is the unnamed symbols bucket
There are still some 5+ buckets, but increasing the hash table
even more would be likely not worth it.
This also cleans up the code slightly by removing hard coded
magic numbers.
I didn't notice a big performance difference either way
on my Nehalem system, but I presume it'll help somewhat
on slower systems.

This patch was inspired by the kernel projects page, where an ncurses
replacement for menuconfig was mentioned (by Sam Ravnborg).
Building on menuconfig, this patch implements a more modern look
interface using ncurses and ncurses' satellite libraries (menu, panel,
form). The implementation does not depend on lxdialog, which is
currently distributed with the kernel.

Help text for certain config options is very extensive (the text
includes the names of all other options the option in question depends
on). Long lines are not wrapped, making it impossible to see the list
without scrolling horizontally.
This patch adds some logic which wraps help screen lines at word
boundaries to prevent truncating.
Tested by running
ARCH=powerpc make menuconfig O=/tmp/build
which shows that the long lines are now wrapped, and
ARCH=powerpc make xconfig O=/tmp/build
to demonstrate that it still compiles and operates as expected.

This patch adds support for decoding ARM oopses to scripts/decodecode.
The following things are handled:
- ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE environment variables are respected.
- The Code: in x86 oopses is in bytes, while it is in either words (4
bytes) or halfwords for ARM.
- Some versions of ARM objdump refuse to disassemble instructions
generated by literal constants (".word 0x..."). The workaround is to
strip the object file first.
- The faulting instruction is marked (liked so) in ARM, but <like so>
in x86.
- ARM mnemonics may include characters such as [] which need to be
escaped before being passed to sed for the "<- trapping instruction"
substitution.

The sym_is() compares a symbol in an attempt to automatically skip symbol
prefixes. It does this first by searching the real symbol with the normal
unprefixed symbol. But then it uses the length of the original symbol to
check the end of the substring instead of the length of the symbol it is
looking for. On non-prefixed arches, this is effectively the same thing,
so there is no problem. On prefixed-arches, since this is exceeds by just
one byte, a crash is rare and it is usually a NUL byte anyways. But every
once in a blue moon, you get the right page alignment and it segfaults.
For example, on the Blackfin arch, sym_is() will be called with the real
symbol "___mod_usb_device_table" as "symbol" when looking for the normal
symbol "__mod_usb_device_table" as "name". The substring will thus return
one byte into "symbol" and store it into "match". But then "match" will
be indexed with the length of "symbol" instead of "name" and so we will
exceed the storage. i.e. the code ends up doing:
char foo[] = "abc"; return foo[strlen(foo)+1] == '\0';

When I try to use markup_oops.pl in x86, I always get:
cat 1 | perl markup_oops.pl ./vmlinux
objdump: --start-address: bad number: NaN
No matching code found
This is because in line:
if ($line =~ /EIP is at ([a-zA-Z0-9\_]+)\+0x([0-9a-f]+)\/[a-f0-9]/) {
$function = $1;
$func_offset = $2;
}
$func_offset will get a number like "0x2"
But in follow code:
my $decodestart = Math::BigInt->from_hex("0x$target") -
Math::BigInt->from_hex("0x$func_offset");
It add other ox to ox2. Then this value will be set to NaN.
So I made a small patch to fix it.

In an x86 build with CONFIG_KERNEL_LZMA enabled and dash as sh,
arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.lzma ends with
'\xf0\x7d\x39\x00' (16 bytes) instead of the 4 bytes intended and
the resulting vmlinuz fails to boot. This improves on the
previous behavior, in which the file contained the characters
'-ne ' as well, but not by much.
Previous commits replaced "echo -ne" first with "/bin/echo -ne",
then "printf" in the hope of improving portability, but none of
these commands is guaranteed to support hexadecimal escapes on
POSIX systems. So use the shell to convert from hexadecimal to
octal.
With this change, an LZMA-compressed kernel built with dash as sh
boots correctly again.

This patch series adds generic support for creating and extracting
LZO-compressed kernel images, as well as support for using such images on
the x86 and ARM architectures, and support for creating and using
LZO-compressed initrd and initramfs images.
Russell King said:
: Testing on a Cortex A9 model:
: - lzo decompressor is 65% of the time gzip takes to decompress a kernel
: - lzo kernel is 9% larger than a gzip kernel
:
: which I'm happy to say confirms your figures when comparing the two.
:
: However, when comparing your new gzip code to the old gzip code:
: - new is 99% of the size of the old code
: - new takes 42% of the time to decompress than the old code
:
: What this means is that for a proper comparison, the results get even better:
: - lzo is 7.5% larger than the old gzip'd kernel image
: - lzo takes 28% of the time that the old gzip code took
:
: So the expense seems definitely worth the effort. The only reason I
: can think of ever using gzip would be if you needed the additional
: compression (eg, because you have limited flash to store the image.)
:
: I would argue that the default for ARM should therefore be LZO.
This patch:
The lzo compressor is worse than gzip at compression, but faster at
extraction. Here are some figures for an ARM board I'm working on:
Uncompressed size: 3.24Mo
gzip 1.61Mo 0.72s
lzo 1.75Mo 0.48s
So for a compression ratio that is still relatively close to gzip, it's
much faster to extract, at least in that case.
This part contains:
- Makefile routine to support lzo compression
- Fixes to the existing lzo compressor so that it can be used in
compressed kernels
- wrapper around the existing lzo1x_decompress, as it only extracts one
block at a time, while we need to extract a whole file here
- config dialog for kernel compression

With dynamic function tracer, by default, _mcount is defined as an
"empty" function, it returns directly without any more action . When
enabling it in user-space, it will jump to a real tracing
function(ftrace_caller), and do the real job for us.
Differ from the static function tracer, dynamic function tracer provides
two functions ftrace_make_call()/ftrace_make_nop() to enable/disable the
tracing of some indicated kernel functions(set_ftrace_filter).
In the -v4 version, the implementation of this support is basically the same as
X86 version does: _mcount is implemented as an empty function and ftrace_caller
is implemented as a real tracing function respectively.
But in this version, to support module tracing with the help of
-mlong-calls in arch/mips/Makefile:
MODFLAGS += -mlong-calls.
The stuff becomes a little more complex. We need to cope with two
different type of calling to _mcount.
For the kernel part, the calling to _mcount(result of "objdump -hdr
vmlinux"). is like this:
108: 03e0082d move at,ra
10c: 0c000000 jal 0 <fpcsr_pending>
10c: R_MIPS_26 _mcount
10c: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
10c: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
110: 00020021 nop
For the module with -mlong-calls, it looks like this:
c: 3c030000 lui v1,0x0
c: R_MIPS_HI16 _mcount
c: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
c: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
10: 64630000 daddiu v1,v1,0
10: R_MIPS_LO16 _mcount
10: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
10: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
14: 03e0082d move at,ra
18: 0060f809 jalr v1
In the kernel version, there is only one "_mcount" string for every
kernel function, so, we just need to match this one in mcount_regex of
scripts/recordmcount.pl, but in the module version, we need to choose
one of the two to match. Herein, I choose the first one with
"R_MIPS_HI16 _mcount".
and In the kernel verion, without module tracing support, we just need
to replace "jal _mcount" by "jal ftrace_caller" to do real tracing, and
filter the tracing of some kernel functions via replacing it by a nop
instruction.
but as we have described before, the instruction "jal ftrace_caller" only left
32bit length for the address of ftrace_caller, it will fail when calling from
the module space. so, herein, we must replace something else.
the basic idea is loading the address of ftrace_caller to v1 via changing these
two instructions:
lui v1,0x0
addiu v1,v1,0
If we want to enable the tracing, we need to replace the above instructions to:
lui v1, HI_16BIT_ftrace_caller
addiu v1, v1, LOW_16BIT_ftrace_caller
If we want to stop the tracing of the indicated kernel functions, we
just need to replace the "jalr v1" to a nop instruction. but we need to
replace two instructions and encode the above two instructions
oursevles.
Is there a simpler solution? Yes! Here it is, in this version, we put _mcount
and ftrace_caller together, which means the address of _mcount and
ftrace_caller is the same:
_mcount:
ftrace_caller:
j ftrace_stub
nop
...(do real tracing here)...
ftrace_stub:
jr ra
move ra, at
By default, the kernel functions call _mcount, and then jump to ftrace_stub and
return. and when we want to do real tracing, we just need to remove that "j
ftrace_stub", and it will run through the two "nop" instructions and then do
the real tracing job.
what about filtering job? we just need to do this:
lui v1, hi_16bit_of_mcount <--> b 1f (0x10000004)
addiu v1, v1, low_16bit_of_mcount
move at, ra
jalr v1
nop
1f: (rec->ip + 12)
In linux-mips64, there will be some local symbols, whose name are
prefixed by $L, which need to be filtered. thanks goes to Steven for
writing the mips64-specific function_regex.
In a conclusion, with RISC, things becomes easier with such a "stupid"
trick, RISC is something like K.I.S.S, and also, there are lots of
"simple" tricks in the whole ftrace support, thanks goes to Steven and
the other folks for providing such a wonderful tracing framework!
