* ftrace: Do not function trace inlined functionsSteven Rostedt2013-01-111-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 45959ee7aa645815a5ce303a0ea1e48a21e67c6a upstream. When gcc inlines a function, it does not mark it with the mcount prologue, which in turn means that inlined functions are not traced by the function tracer. But if CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING is set, then gcc is allowed not to inline a function that is marked inline. Depending on the options and the compiler, a function may or may not be traced by the function tracer, depending on whether gcc decides to inline a function or not. This has caused several problems in the pass becaues gcc is not always consistent with what it decides to inline between different gcc versions. Some places should not be traced (like paravirt native_* functions) and these are mostly marked as inline. When gcc decides not to inline the function, and if that function should not be traced, then the ftrace function tracer will suddenly break when it use to work fine. This becomes even harder to debug when different versions of gcc will not inline that function, making the same kernel and config work for some gcc versions and not work for others. By making all functions marked inline to not be traced will remove the ambiguity that gcc adds when it comes to tracing functions marked inline. All gcc versions will be consistent with what functions are traced and having volatile working code will be removed. Note, only the inline macro when CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING is set needs to have notrace added, as the attribute __always_inline will force the function to be inlined and then not traced.

* sparse: define __must_be_array() for __CHECKER__KOSAKI Motohiro2011-05-251-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit c5e631cf65f ("ARRAY_SIZE: check for type") added __must_be_array(). But sparse can't parse this gcc extention. Now make C=2 makes following sparse errors a lot. kernel/futex.c:2699:25: error: No right hand side of '+'-expression Because __must_be_array() is used for ARRAY_SIZE() macro and it is used very widely.

* compiler-gcc.h: gcc-4.5 needs noclone and noinline on __naked functionsMikael Pettersson2010-06-291-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A __naked function is defined in C but with a body completely implemented by asm(), including any prologue and epilogue. These asm() bodies expect standard calling conventions for parameter passing. Older GCCs implement that correctly, but 4.[56] currently do not, see GCC PR44290. In the Linux kernel this breaks ARM, causing most arch/arm/mm/copypage-*.c modules to get miscompiled, resulting in kernel crashes during bootup. Part of the kernel fix is to augment the __naked function attribute to also imply noinline and noclone. This patch implements that, and has been verified to fix boot failures with gcc-4.5 compiled 2.6.34 and 2.6.35-rc1 kernels. The patch is a no-op with older GCCs.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I wrote some code which is used as compile-time checker, and the code should be elided after compile.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a fix for the following crash observed in 2.6.29-rc3: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/29/150 On ARM it doesn't make sense to trace a naked function because then mcount is called without stack and frame pointer being set up and there is no chance to restore the lr register to the value before mcount was called.

* Sanitize gcc version header includesLinus Torvalds2009-01-021-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - include the gcc version-dependent header files from the generic gcc header file, rather than the other way around (iow: don't make the non-gcc header file have to know about gcc versions) - don't include compiler-gcc4.h for gcc 5 (for whenever it gets released). That's just confusing and made us do odd things in the gcc4 header file (testing that we really had version 4!) - generate the name from the __GNUC__ version directly, rather than having a mess of #if conditionals.

* x86: add optimized inliningIngo Molnar2008-04-261-3/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | add CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y. allow gcc to optimize the kernel image's size by uninlining functions that have been marked 'inline'. Previously gcc was forced by Linux to always-inline these functions via a gcc attribute: #define inline inline __attribute__((always_inline)) Especially when the user has already selected CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y this can make a huge difference in kernel image size (using a standard Fedora .config): text data bss dec hex filename 5613924 562708 3854336 10030968 990f78 vmlinux.before 5486689 562708 3854336 9903733 971e75 vmlinux.after that's a 2.3% text size reduction (!).

* compiler: introduce __used and __maybe_unusedDavid Rientjes2007-05-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | __used is defined to be __attribute__((unused)) for all pre-3.3 gcc compilers to suppress warnings for unused functions because perhaps they are referenced only in inline assembly. It is defined to be __attribute__((used)) for gcc 3.3 and later so that the code is still emitted for such functions. __maybe_unused is defined to be __attribute__((unused)) for both function and variable use if it could possibly be unreferenced due to the evaluation of preprocessor macros. Function prototypes shall be marked with __maybe_unused if the actual definition of the function is dependant on preprocessor macros. No update to compiler-intel.h is necessary because ICC supports both __attribute__((used)) and __attribute__((unused)) as specified by the gcc manual. __attribute_used__ is deprecated and will be removed once all current code is converted to using __used.

* [PATCH] extend the set of "__attribute__" shortcut macrosRobert P. J. Day2007-02-111-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extend the set of "__attribute__" shortcut macros, and remove identical (and now superfluous) definitions from a couple of source files. based on a page at robert love's blog: http://rlove.org/log/2005102601 extend the set of shortcut macros defined in compiler-gcc.h with the following: #define __packed __attribute__((packed)) #define __weak __attribute__((weak)) #define __naked __attribute__((naked)) #define __noreturn __attribute__((noreturn)) #define __pure __attribute__((pure)) #define __aligned(x) __attribute__((aligned(x))) #define __printf(a,b) __attribute__((format(printf,a,b))) Once these are in place, it's up to subsystem maintainers to decide if they want to take advantage of them. there is already a strong precedent for using shortcuts like this in the source tree. The ones that might give people pause are "__aligned" and "__printf", but shortcuts for both of those are already in use, and in some ways very confusingly. note the two very different definitions for a macro named "ALIGNED": drivers/net/sgiseeq.c:#define ALIGNED(x) ((((unsigned long)(x)) + 0xf) & ~(0xf)) drivers/scsi/ultrastor.c:#define ALIGNED(x) __attribute__((aligned(x))) also: include/acpi/platform/acgcc.h: #define ACPI_PRINTF_LIKE(c) __attribute__ ((__format__ (__printf__, c, c+1))) Given the precedent, then, it seems logical to at least standardize on a consistent set of these macros.

* [PATCH] Work around ppc64 compiler bugAnton Blanchard2006-01-101-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the process of optimising our per cpu data code, I found a ppc64 compiler bug that has been around forever. Basically the current RELOC_HIDE can end up trashing r30. Details of the bug can be found at http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25572 This bug is present in all compilers before 4.1. It is masked by the fact that our current per cpu data code is inefficient and causes other loads that end up marking r30 as used. A workaround identified by Alan Modra is to use the =r asm constraint instead of =g.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+17
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
