Add a warning in case a debug store context is not removed before the task it is attached to is freed. Remove the old warning at thread exit. It is too early. Declare the debug store context field in thread_struct unconditionally. Remove ds_copy_thread() and ds_exit_thread() and do the work directly in process*.c. Signed-off-by:

Allocate the trace_iterator for the hw-branch-tracer selftest on the heap. Signed-off-by:
-
Markus Metzger authored
The hw-branch-tracer uses debug store functions from an on_each_cpu() context, which is simply wrong since the functions may sleep. Add _noirq variants for most functions, which may be called with interrupts disabled. Separate per-cpu and per-task tracing and allow per-cpu tracing to be controlled from any cpu. Make the hw-branch-tracer use the new debug store interface, synchronize with hotplug cpu event using get/put_online_cpus(), and remove the unnecessary spinlock. Make the ptrace bts and the ds selftest code use the new interface. Defer the ds selftest. Signed-off-by:

Per-task branch tracing installs a debug store context with the traced task. This immediately results in the branch trace control bits to be cleared for the next context switch of that task, if not set before. Either per-cpu or per-task tracing are allowed at the same time. An active per-cpu tracing would be disabled even if the per-task tracing request is rejected and the task debug store context removed. Check the tracing type (per-cpu or per-task) before installing a task debug store context. Signed-off-by:

In order to stop branch tracing for a running task, we need to first clear the branch tracing control bits before we may free the tracing buffer. If the traced task is running, the cpu might still trace that task after the branch trace control bits have cleared. Wait until the traced task has been scheduled out before proceeding. A similar problem affects the task debug store context. We first remove the context, then we need to wait until the task has been scheduled out before we can free the context memory. Reviewed-by:

When a ptraced task is unlinked, we need to stop branch tracing for that task. Since the unlink is called with interrupts disabled, and we need interrupts enabled to stop branch tracing, we defer the work. Collect all branch tracing related stuff in a branch tracing context. Reviewed-by:

Add a function to wait until some other task has been switched out at least once. This differs from wait_task_inactive() subtly, in that the latter will wait until the task has left the CPU. Signed-off-by:

Markus Metzger authored
When the bts tracer is removed while the traced task is running, the write to clear the bts tracer pointer races with context switch code. Read the tracer once during a context switch. When a new tracer is installed, the bts tracer is set in the ds context before the tracer is initialized in order to claim the context for that tracer. This may result in write accesses using an uninitialized trace configuration when scheduling timestamps have been requested. Store active tracing flags separately and only set active flags after the tracing configuration has been initialized. Reviewed-by:

This makes the defautl ext3 data ordering mode (when no explicit ordering is set) configurable, so as to allow people to default to 'data=writeback' and get the resulting latency improvements. This is a non-issue if a filesystem has been explicitly set to some ordering (with 'tune2fs'). Signed-off-by:

There are various bits of code here that are unfinished and instead of being harmless either confuse or spew stuff into the logs at higher than debug level. They can and should go away. Also remove the bogus use of tty->lowlatency. We fixed the need for this hack long ago (with the flip buffer rewrite) but people keep copying it into drivers. Signed-off-by:

mxser_check_modem_status is called with tty parameter, so the reference should be increased by callers already -- for ioctl syscall it is held whole time gap since open to close, for interrupt, the reference count is increased in the irq handler. There is no tty_kref_put in that function, so this also fixes a refcounting bug. Signed-off-by:
