core: fix typo in percpu read_mostly section

2014-07-01T20:45:22Z

This fixes a typo that named the read_mostly section of percpu as readmostly. It works fine with SMP because the linker script specifies .data..percpu..readmostly. However, UP kernel builds don't have percpu sections defined and the non-percpu version of the section is called data..read_mostly, so .data..readmostly will float around and may break things unexpectedly. Looking at the original change that introduced data..percpu..readmostly (commit c957ef2c59e952803766ddc22e89981ab534606f), it looks like this was the original intention. Tested: Built UP kernel and confirmed the sections got merged. - Before the patch: $ objdump -h vmlinux.o | grep '\.data\.\.read.*mostly' 38 .data..read_mostly 00004418 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00431ac0 2**6 50 .data..readmostly 00000014 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00444000 2**3 - After the patch: $ objdump -h vmlinux.o | grep '\.data\.\.read.*mostly' 38 .data..read_mostly 00004438 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00431ac0 2**6 Signed-off-by: Zhengyu He Signed-off-by: Filipe Brandenburger Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

ARM: align cpu_method_of_table naming

2014-05-20T19:24:41Z

In preparation to have common linker section definitions, align the cpu_method_of_table with the other definitions for the naming and ending with a blank struct.

kprobes: Ensure blacklist data is aligned

2014-05-07T19:04:57Z

ARC Linux (not supporting native unaligned access) was failing to boot because __start_kprobe_blacklist was not aligned. This was because per generated vmlinux.lds it was emitted right next to .rodata with strings etc hence could be randomly unaligned. Fix that by ensuring a word alignment. While 4 would suffice for 32bit arches and problem at hand, it is probably better to put 8. | Path: (null) CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper Not tainted | 3.15.0-rc3-next-20140430 #2 | task: 8f044000 ti: 8f01e000 task.ti: 8f01e000 | | [ECR ]: 0x00230400 => Misaligned r/w from 0x800fb0d3 | [EFA ]: 0x800fb0d3 | [BLINK ]: do_one_initcall+0x86/0x1bc | [ERET ]: init_kprobes+0x52/0x120 Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta Cc: Cc: Cc: Cc: Cc: Cc: Cc: Cc: Cc: Cc: Cc: Cc: Cc: Cc: anton Kolesov Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/5361DB14.7010406@synopsys.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

kprobes: Introduce NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() macro to maintain kprobes blacklist

2014-04-24T08:02:56Z

Introduce NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() macro which builds a kprobes blacklist at kernel build time. The usage of this macro is similar to EXPORT_SYMBOL(), placed after the function definition: NOKPROBE_SYMBOL(function); Since this macro will inhibit inlining of static/inline functions, this patch also introduces a nokprobe_inline macro for static/inline functions. In this case, we must use NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() for the inline function caller. When CONFIG_KPROBES=y, the macro stores the given function address in the "_kprobe_blacklist" section. Since the data structures are not fully initialized by the macro (because there is no "size" information), those are re-initialized at boot time by using kallsyms.
