- The final step to get rid of auto-rearming posix-timers
posix-timers are currently auto-rearmed by the kernel when the signal
of the timer is ignored so that the timer signal can be delivered once
the corresponding signal is unignored.
This requires to throttle the timer to prevent a DoS by small intervals
and keeps the system pointlessly out of low power states for no value.
This is a long standing non-trivial problem due to the lock order of
posix-timer lock and the sighand lock along with life time issues as
the timer and the sigqueue have different life time rules.
Cure this by:
* Embedding the sigqueue into the timer struct to have the same life
time rules. Aside of that this also avoids the lookup of the timer
in the signal delivery and rearm path as it's just a always valid
container_of() now.
* Queuing ignored timer signals onto a seperate ignored list.
* Moving queued timer signals onto the ignored list when the signal is
switched to SIG_IGN before it could be delivered.
* Walking the ignored list when SIG_IGN is lifted and requeue the
signals to the actual signal lists. This allows the signal delivery
code to rearm the timer.
This also required to consolidate the signal delivery rules so they are
consistent across all situations. With that all self test scenarios
finally succeed.
- Core infrastructure for VFS multigrain timestamping
This is required to allow the kernel to use coarse grained time stamps
by default and switch to fine grained time stamps when inode attributes
are actively observed via getattr().
These changes have been provided to the VFS tree as well, so that the
VFS specific infrastructure could be built on top.
- Cleanup and consolidation of the sleep() infrastructure
* Move all sleep and timeout functions into one file
* Rework udelay() and ndelay() into proper documented inline functions
and replace the hardcoded magic numbers by proper defines.
* Rework the fsleep() implementation to take the reality of the timer
wheel granularity on different HZ values into account. Right now the
boundaries are hard coded time ranges which fail to provide the
requested accuracy on different HZ settings.
* Update documentation for all sleep/timeout related functions and fix
up stale documentation links all over the place
* Fixup a few usage sites
- Rework of timekeeping and adjtimex(2) to prepare for multiple PTP clocks
A system can have multiple PTP clocks which are participating in
seperate and independent PTP clock domains. So far the kernel only
considers the PTP clock which is based on CLOCK TAI relevant as that's
the clock which drives the timekeeping adjustments via the various user
space daemons through adjtimex(2).
The non TAI based clock domains are accessible via the file descriptor
based posix clocks, but their usability is very limited. They can't be
accessed fast as they always go all the way out to the hardware and
they cannot be utilized in the kernel itself.
As Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) gains traction it is required to
provide fast user and kernel space access to these clocks.
The approach taken is to utilize the timekeeping and adjtimex(2)
infrastructure to provide this access in a similar way how the kernel
provides access to clock MONOTONIC, REALTIME etc.
Instead of creating a duplicated infrastructure this rework converts
timekeeping and adjtimex(2) into generic functionality which operates
on pointers to data structures instead of using static variables.
This allows to provide time accessors and adjtimex(2) functionality for
the independent PTP clocks in a subsequent step.
- Consolidate hrtimer initialization
hrtimers are set up by initializing the data structure and then
seperately setting the callback function for historical reasons.
That's an extra unnecessary step and makes Rust support less straight
forward than it should be.
Provide a new set of hrtimer_setup*() functions and convert the core
code and a few usage sites of the less frequently used interfaces over.
The bulk of the htimer_init() to hrtimer_setup() conversion is already
prepared and scheduled for the next merge window.
- Drivers:
* Ensure that the global timekeeping clocksource is utilizing the
cluster 0 timer on MIPS multi-cluster systems.
Otherwise CPUs on different clusters use their cluster specific
clocksource which is not guaranteed to be synchronized with other
clusters.
* Mostly boring cleanups, fixes, improvements and code movement

line which was divided into multiple lines due to race) came from.

specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,

using "boot_delay=N".
|
|

It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset

the "loops per jiffy" value.
|

See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your

system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".

NOTE: Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.

BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY also may cause LOCKUP_DETECTOR to detect

Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
|
|
otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
|
|
enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
|
|
function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
|
|
implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
|
|
enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
|
|
|
|
If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
|
|
pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
|
|
disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is
|
|
turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
|
|
Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
|
|
which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem or procfs.
|
|
Thus, the debugfs or procfs filesystem must first be mounted before
|
|
making use of this feature.
|
|
We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
|
|
file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
|
|
format for each line of the file is:
|
|
|
|
filename:lineno [module]function flags format
|
|
|
|
filename : source file of the debug statement
|
|
lineno : line number of the debug statement
|
|
module : module that contains the debug statement
|
|
function : function that contains the debug statement
|
|
flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
|
|
format : the format used for the debug statement
|
|
|
|
From a live system:
|
|
|
|
nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
|
|
# filename:lineno [module]function flags format
|
|
fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"

|
|
fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
// enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
|
|

|
|
|
|
In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
|
|
related deadlocks before they actually occur.
|
|
|
|
The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
|
|
deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
|
|
participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
|
|
for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
|
|
timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
|
|
theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
|
|
is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
|
|
reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
|
|
makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
|
|
|
|
If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
|
|
observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
|
|
kernel reports nothing.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
|
|
and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
|
|
different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
|
|
the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
|
|
arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their

initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An

example of this would be a struct device which has just been

unregistered.

However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,

the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This

goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.

If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early

on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
|
|
this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
|
|
over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
|
|
specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
|
|
|
|
With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
|
|
firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
|
|
Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
|
|
If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
|
|
all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
|
|
|
|
As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
|
|
devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
|
|
devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
|
|
the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
|
|
|
|
This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
|
|
in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

help
|
|
Enables rustc's `-Coverflow-checks` codegen option.
|
|
|
|
This flag allows you to control the behavior of runtime integer
|
|
overflow. When overflow-checks are enabled, a Rust panic will occur
|
|
on overflow.
|
|
|
|
Note that this will apply to all Rust code, including `core`.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, say Y.

help
|
|
Controls how `build_error!` and `build_assert!` are handled during the build.
|
|
|
|
If calls to them exist in the binary, it may indicate a violated invariant
|
|
or that the optimizer failed to verify the invariant during compilation.
|
|
|
|
This should not happen, thus by default the build is aborted. However,
|
|
as an escape hatch, you can choose Y here to ignore them during build
|
|
and let the check be carried at runtime (with `panic!` being called if
|
|
the check fails).
|
|
|
|
If unsure, say N.

help
|
|
This option enables the KUnit test suite for the int_pow function,
|
|
which performs integer exponentiation. The test suite is designed to
|
|
verify that the implementation of int_pow correctly computes the power
|
|
of a given base raised to a given exponent.
|
|
|
|
Enabling this option will include tests that check various scenarios
|
|
and edge cases to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the exponentiation
|
|
function.
