When developing the Kprobes arch code for ARM, I ran across some code found in x86 and s390 Kprobes arch code which I didn't consider as good as it could be. Once I figured out what the code was doing, I changed the code for ARM Kprobes to work the way I felt was more appropriate. I've tested the code this way in ARM for about a year and would like to push the same change to the other affected architectures. The code in question is in kprobe_exceptions_notify() which does: ==== /* kprobe_running() needs smp_processor_id() */ preempt_disable(); if (kprobe_running() && kprobe_fault_handler(args->regs, args->trapnr)) ret = NOTIFY_STOP; preempt_enable(); ==== For the moment, ignore the code having the preempt_disable()/ preempt_enable() pair in it. The problem is that kprobe_running() needs to call smp_processor_id() which will assert if preemption is enabled. That sanity check by smp_processor_id() makes perfect sense since calling it with preemption enabled would return an unreliable result. But the function kprobe_exceptions_notify() can be called from a context where preemption could be enabled. If that happens, the assertion in smp_processor_id() happens and we're dead. So what the original author did (speculation on my part!) is put in the preempt_disable()/preempt_enable() pair to simply defeat the check. Once I figured out what was going on, I considered this an inappropriate approach. If kprobe_exceptions_notify() is called from a preemptible context, we can't be in a kprobe processing context at that time anyways since kprobes requires preemption to already be disabled, so just check for preemption enabled, and if so, blow out before ever calling kprobe_running(). I wrote the ARM kprobe code like this: ==== /* To be potentially processing a kprobe fault and to * trust the result from kprobe_running(), we have * be non-preemptible. */ if (!preemptible() && kprobe_running() && kprobe_fault_handler(args->regs, args->trapnr)) ret = NOTIFY_STOP; ==== The above code has been working fine for ARM Kprobes for a year. So I changed the x86 code (2.6.24-rc6) to be the same way and ran the Systemtap tests on that kernel. As on ARM, Systemtap on x86 comes up with the same test results either way, so it's a neutral external functional change (as expected). This issue has been discussed previously on linux-arm-kernel and the Systemtap mailing lists.

Trivial unification of Makefiles for the x86 specific library part. Linking order is slightly modified but should be harmless. Tested doing a defconfig build before and after and saw no build changes. It adds almost as many lines as it deletes - bacause I broke a few lines up fo readability in the Makefile. Signed-off-by:

Combine the 32 and 64 bit specific Makefiles in one file. While doing so link order was (almost) preserved on 32 bit but on 64 bit link order changed a lot. Patch was checked with defconfig + allyesconfig builds. The same .o files were linked in these configurations. To keep readability of the Makefiles a few Kconfig symbols was added/modified and it was checked that they were not used anywhere else. Signed-off-by:

On recommendation from Andi Kleen share a few more options between 32 and 64 bit builds. A defconfig build for i386 did not show any difference in size of text and data.

Unify the 32 and 64 bit specific Makefiles. The unification was simplest to do in one step although the readability of the patch suffers a bit from this. Noteworthy remarks on the unification: - The 64 bit cpu stuff should be moved to Makefile_32.cpu but I did not feel confident doing it due to subtle differences - The use of cflags-y were abandoned since we have seen one bug where we did wrong due to missing assignment to KBUILD_CFLAGS. The cc-option marcro uses KBUILD_CFLAGS. - The "No need to remake" line are deleted. It caused "make -B" to fail - For 64 bit the sub architecture stuff is not used. - The way head64.o is specified could be nicer - but it awaits the introduction of head32.o (which seems like a win to introduce for readability) - Patch is checkpatch clean Patch is tested by doing a defconfig build for i386 and x86_64 and in both cases monitoring that only relevant files were recompiled when applying the patch.

Collapse the separate if blocks/gotos with if/else blocks this unifies the duplication of the check for a breakpoint instruction race with another cpu.

First step towards unifying these files. - Checkpatch trailing whitespace fixes - Checkpatch indentation of switch statement fixes - Checkpatch single statement ifs need no braces fixes - Checkpatch consistent spacing after comma fixes - Introduce defines for pagefault error bits from X86_64 and add useful comment from X86_32. Use these defines in X86_32 where obvious. - Unify comments between 32|64 bit - Small ifdef movement for CONFIG_KPROBES in notify_page_fault() - Introduce X86_64 only case statement No Functional Changes.
