      tracing: Update stack trace skipping for ORC unwinder · 2ee5b92a
      Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored
      
      
      With the addition of ORC unwinder and FRAME POINTER unwinder, the stack
      trace skipping requirements have changed.
      
      I went through the tracing stack trace dumps with ORC and with frame
      pointers and recalculated the proper values.

      ftrace, orc, x86: Handle ftrace dynamically allocated trampolines · 6be7fa3c
      Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored
      
      
      The function tracer can create a dynamically allocated trampoline that is
      called by the function mcount or fentry hook that is used to call the
      function callback that is registered. The problem is that the orc undwinder
      will bail if it encounters one of these trampolines. This breaks the stack
      trace of function callbacks, which include the stack tracer and setting the
      stack trace for individual functions.
      
      Since these dynamic trampolines are basically copies of the static ftrace
      trampolines defined in ftrace_*.S, we do not need to create new orc entries
      for the dynamic trampolines. Finding the return address on the stack will be
      identical as the functions that were copied to create the dynamic
      trampolines. When encountering a ftrace dynamic trampoline, we can just use
      the orc entry of the ftrace static function that was copied for that
      trampoline.

      x86/ftrace: Fix ORC unwinding from ftrace handlers · e2ac83d7
      Josh Poimboeuf authored
      
      
      Steven Rostedt discovered that the ftrace stack tracer is broken when
      it's used with the ORC unwinder.  The problem is that objtool is
      instructed by the Makefile to ignore the ftrace_64.S code, so it doesn't
      generate any ORC data for it.
      
      Fix it by making the asm code objtool-friendly:
      
      - Objtool doesn't like the fact that save_mcount_regs pushes RBP at the
        beginning, but it's never restored (directly, at least).  So just skip
        the original RBP push, which is only needed for frame pointers anyway.
      
      - Annotate some functions as normal callable functions with
        ENTRY/ENDPROC.
      
      - Add an empty unwind hint to return_to_handler().  The return address
        isn't on the stack, so there's nothing ORC can do there.  It will just
        punt in the unlikely case it tries to unwind from that code.
      
      With all that fixed, remove the OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD Makefile
      annotation so objtool can read the file.

      mm, page_vma_mapped: Drop faulty pointer arithmetics in check_pte() · 0d665e7b
      Kirill A. Shutemov authored
      
      
      Tetsuo reported random crashes under memory pressure on 32-bit x86
      system and tracked down to change that introduced
      page_vma_mapped_walk().
      
      The root cause of the issue is the faulty pointer math in check_pte().
      As ->pte may point to an arbitrary page we have to check that they are
      belong to the section before doing math. Otherwise it may lead to weird
      results.
      
      It wasn't noticed until now as mem_map[] is virtually contiguous on
      flatmem or vmemmap sparsemem. Pointer arithmetic just works against all
      'struct page' pointers. But with classic sparsemem, it doesn't because
      each section memap is allocated separately and so consecutive pfns
      crossing two sections might have struct pages at completely unrelated
      addresses.
      
      Let's restructure code a bit and replace pointer arithmetic with
      operations on pfns.

      alpha/PCI: Fix noname IRQ level detection · 86be8993
      Lorenzo Pieralisi authored
      The conversion of the alpha architecture PCI host bridge legacy IRQ
      mapping/swizzling to the new PCI host bridge map/swizzle hooks carried
      out through:
      
      commit 0e4c2eeb ("alpha/PCI: Replace pci_fixup_irqs() call with
      host bridge IRQ mapping hooks")
      
      implies that IRQ for devices are now allocated through pci_assign_irq()
      function in pci_device_probe() that is called when a driver matching a
      device is found in order to probe the device through the device driver.
      
      Alpha noname platforms required IRQ level programming to be executed
      in sio_fixup_irq_levels(), that is called in noname_init_pci(), a
      platform hook called within a subsys_initcall.
      
      In noname_init_pci(), present IRQs are detected through
      sio_collect_irq_levels() that check the struct pci_dev->irq number
      to detect if an IRQ has been allocated for the device.
      
      By the time sio_collect_irq_levels() is called, some devices may still
      have not a matching driver loaded to match them (eg loadable module)
      therefore their IRQ allocation is still pending - which means that
      sio_collect_irq_levels() does not programme the correct IRQ level for
      those devices, causing their IRQ handling to be broken when the device
      driver is actually loaded and the device is probed.
      
      Fix the issue by adding code in the noname map_irq() function
      (noname_map_irq()) that, whilst mapping/swizzling the IRQ line, it also
      ensures that the correct IRQ level programming is executed at platform
      level, fixing the issue.
