The section mismatch analysis checks if there are illegal
|
|
|
|
references from one section to another section.
|
|
|
|
Linux will during link or during runtime drop some sections
|
|
|
|
and any use of code/data previously in these sections will
|
|
|
|
most likely result in an oops.
|
|
|
|
In the code functions and variables are annotated with
|
|
|
|
__init, __devinit etc. (see full list in include/linux/init.h)
|
2008-01-30 17:13:23 +07:00
|
|
|
which results in the code/data being placed in specific sections.
|
|
|

The section mismatch analysis is always done after a full
|
|

|
kernel build but enabling this option will in addition
|
2008-01-22 03:31:44 +07:00

do the following:
|

|
|
- Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc

When inlining a function annotated __init in a non-init
|
2008-01-30 17:13:23 +07:00
|

|
function we would lose the section information and thus
|
2008-01-22 03:31:44 +07:00
|
|
|
the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
|
2008-01-30 17:13:23 +07:00
|
|
|
This option tells gcc to inline less but will also
|
2008-01-22 03:31:44 +07:00
|
|
|
result in a larger kernel.
|
|
|
|
- Run the section mismatch analysis for each module/built-in.o

|
|
When we run the section mismatch analysis on vmlinux.o we
|
2008-01-30 17:13:23 +07:00

lose valueble information about where the mismatch was
|
2008-01-22 03:31:44 +07:00
|
|
|
introduced.
|
|
|
|
Running the analysis for each module/built-in.o file
|
|
|
|
will tell where the mismatch happens much closer to the
|
|
|
|
source. The drawback is that we will report the same
|

mismatch at least twice.

This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
|
|
|
|
that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
|
|
|
|
correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
|
|
|
|
not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
|
|
|
|
sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
|
|
|
|
arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
|
|
|
|
deadlock.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.

x86: early boot debugging via FireWire (ohci1394_dma=early)
This patch adds a new configuration option, which adds support for a new
early_param which gets checked in arch/x86/kernel/setup_{32,64}.c:setup_arch()
to decide wether OHCI-1394 FireWire controllers should be initialized and
enabled for physical DMA access to allow remote debugging of early problems
like issues ACPI or other subsystems which are executed very early.
If the config option is not enabled, no code is changed, and if the boot
paramenter is not given, no new code is executed, and independent of that,
all new code is freed after boot, so the config option can be even enabled
in standard, non-debug kernels.
With specialized tools, it is then possible to get debugging information
from machines which have no serial ports (notebooks) such as the printk
buffer contents, or any data which can be referenced from global pointers,
if it is stored below the 4GB limit and even memory dumps of of the physical
RAM region below the 4GB limit can be taken without any cooperation from the
CPU of the host, so the machine can be crashed early, it does not matter.
In the extreme, even kernel debuggers can be accessed in this way. I wrote
a small kgdb module and an accompanying gdb stub for FireWire which allows
to gdb to talk to kgdb using remote remory reads and writes over FireWire.
An version of the gdb stub fore FireWire is able to read all global data
from a system which is running a a normal kernel without any kernel debugger,
without any interruption or support of the system's CPU. That way, e.g. the
task struct and so on can be read and even manipulated when the physical DMA
access is granted.
A HOWTO is included in this patch, in Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt

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.
