Merge Kconfig menu diet patches from Dave Hansen:
"I think the "Kernel Hacking" menu has gotten a bit out of hand. It is
over 120 lines long on my system with everything enabled and options
are scattered around it haphazardly.
http://sr71.net/~dave/linux/kconfig-horror.png
Let's try to introduce some sanity. This set takes that 120 lines
down to 55 and makes it vastly easier to find some things. It's a
start.
This set stands on its own, but there is plenty of room for follow-up
patches. The arch-specific debug options still end up getting stuck
in the top-level "kernel hacking" menu. OPTIMIZE_INLINING, for
instance, could obviously go in to the "compiler options" menu, but
the fact that it is defined in arch/ in a separate Kconfig file keeps
it on its own for the moment.
The Signed-off-by's in here look funky. I changed employers while
working on this set, so I have signoffs from both email addresses"
* emailed patches from Dave Hansen <dave@sr71.net>:
hang and lockup detection menu
kconfig: consolidate printk options
group locking debugging options
consolidate compilation option configs
consolidate runtime testing configs
order memory debugging Kconfig options
consolidate per-arch stack overflow debugging options
Original posting:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20121214184202.F54094D9@kernel.stglabs.ibm.com
Several architectures have similar stack debugging config options.
They all pretty much do the same thing, some with slightly
differing help text.
This patch changes the architectures to instead enable a Kconfig
boolean, and then use that boolean in the generic Kconfig.debug
to present the actual menu option. This removes a bunch of
duplication and adds consistency across arches.

Concentrate code to modify totalram_pages into the mm core, so the arch
memory initialized code doesn't need to take care of it. With these
changes applied, only following functions from mm core modify global
variable totalram_pages: free_bootmem_late(), free_all_bootmem(),
free_all_bootmem_node(), adjust_managed_page_count().
With this patch applied, it will be much more easier for us to keep
totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages in consistence.

Address more review comments from last round of code review.
1) Enhance free_reserved_area() to support poisoning freed memory with
pattern '0'. This could be used to get rid of poison_init_mem()
on ARM64.
2) A previous patch has disabled memory poison for initmem on s390
by mistake, so restore to the original behavior.
3) Remove redundant PAGE_ALIGN() when calling free_reserved_area().

it takes callback from ctx->actor, uses ctx->pos instead of file->f_pos and
calls dir_emit(ctx, ...) instead of filldir(data, ...). It does *not*
update file->f_pos (or look at it, for that matter); iterate_dir() does the

'path.bc[i]' can be asigned by PCI_SLOT() which can '> 10', so sizeof(6

Since 'name' length is 20, it may be memory overflow.
And 'path.bc[i]' is 'unsigned char' for printing, we can be sure the
max length of 'name' must be less than 28.
So simplify thinking, we can use 28 instead of 20 directly, and do not

The logic to detect if the irq stack was already in use with
raw_spin_trylock() is wrong, because it will generate a "trylock failure
on UP" error message with CONFIG_SMP=n and CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=y.
arch_spin_trylock() can't be used either since in the CONFIG_SMP=n case
no atomic protection is given and we are reentrant here. A mutex didn't
worked either and brings more overhead by turning off interrupts.
So, let's use the fastest path for parisc which is the ldcw instruction.
Counting how often the irq stack was used is pretty useless, so just
drop this piece of code.
Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
The get_stack_use_cr30 and get_stack_use_r30 macros allocate a stack
frame for external interrupts and interruptions requiring a stack frame.
They are currently not reentrant in that they save register context
before the stack is set or adjusted.
I have observed a number of system crashes where there was clear
evidence of stack corruption during interrupt processing, and as a
result register corruption. Some interruptions can still occur during
interruption processing, however external interrupts are disabled and
data TLB misses don't occur for absolute accesses. So, it's not entirely
clear what triggers this issue. Also, if an interruption occurs when
Q=0, it is generally not possible to recover as the shadowed registers
are not copied.
The attached patch reworks the get_stack_use_cr30 and get_stack_use_r30
macros to allocate stack before doing register saves. The new code is a
couple of instructions shorter than the old implementation. Thus, it's
an improvement even if it doesn't fully resolve the stack corruption
issue. Based on limited testing, it improves SMP system stability.

Currently, race conditions exist in the handling of TLB interruptions in
entry.S. In particular, dirty bit updates can be lost if an accessed
interruption occurs just after the dirty bit interruption on a different
cpu. Lost dirty bit updates result in user pages not being flushed and
general system instability. This change adds lock and unlock macros to
synchronize all PTE and TLB updates done in entry.S. As a result,
userspace stability is significantly improved.

This patch fixes few build issues which were introduced with the last
irq stack patch, e.g. the combination of stack overflow check and irq
stack.
Furthermore we now do proper locking and change the irq bh handler
to use the irq stack as well.
In /proc/interrupts one now can monitor how huge the irq stack has grown
and how often it was preferred over the kernel stack.
IRQ stacks are now enabled by default just to make sure that we not
overflow the kernel stack by accident.

Default kernel stack size on parisc is 16k. During tests we found that the
kernel stack can easily grow beyond 13k, which leaves 3k left for irq
processing.
This patch adds the possibility to activate an additional stack of 16k per CPU
which is being used during irq processing. This implementation does not yet
uses this irq stack for the irq bh handler.
The assembler code for call_on_stack was heavily cleaned up by John
David Anglin.

Add the CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW config option to enable checks to
detect kernel stack overflows.
Stack overflows can not be detected reliable since we do not want to
introduce too much overhead.
Instead, during irq processing in do_cpu_irq_mask() we check kernel
stack usage of the interrupted kernel process. Kernel threads can be
easily detected by checking the value of space register 7 (sr7) which
is zero when running inside the kernel.
Since THREAD_SIZE is 16k and PAGE_SIZE is 4k, reduce the alignment of
the init thread to the lower value (PAGE_SIZE) in the kernel
vmlinux.ld.S linker script.

Helge and I have found that we have a kernel stack overflow problem
which causes a variety of random failures.
Currently, we re-enable interrupts when returning from an external
interrupt incase we need to schedule or delivery
signals. As a result, a potentially unlimited number of interrupts
can occur while we are running on the kernel
stack. It is very limited in space (currently, 16k). This change
defers enabling interrupts until we have
actually decided to schedule or delivery signals. This only occurs
when we about to return to userspace. This
limits the number of interrupts on the kernel stack to one. In other
cases, interrupts remain disabled until the
final return from interrupt (rfi).

The "b" branch instruction used in the fork_like macro only can handle
17-bit pc-relative offsets.
This fails with an out of range offset with some .config files.
Rewrite to use the "be" instruction which
can branch to any address in a space.

The ifeq operator does not accept globs, so this little bit of code will
never match (unless uname literally prints out "parsic*"). Rewrite to
use a pattern matching operator so that NATIVE is set to 1 on parisc.

Include some documentation about how the parisc gateway page technically
works and how it is used from userspace.
