Commit 55abb0929e removed the never
used format1 argument of spl_debug_msg(). That in turn resulted
in some deadcode which should be removed since it's now useless.
To avoid conflicts with symbols defined by dependent packages
all debugging symbols have been prefixed with a 'S' for SPL.
Any dependent package needing to integrate with the SPL debug
should include the spl-debug.h header and use the 'S' prefixed
macros. They must also build with DEBUG defined.
To avoid symbol conflicts with dependent packages the debug
header must be split in to several parts. The <sys/debug.h>
header now only contains the Solaris macro's such as ASSERT
and VERIFY. The spl-debug.h header contain the spl specific
debugging infrastructure and should be included by any package
which needs to use the spl logging. Finally the spl-trace.h
header contains internal data structures only used for the log
facility and should not be included by anythign by spl-debug.c.
This way dependent packages can include the standard Solaris
headers without picking up any SPL debug macros. However, if
the dependant package want to integrate with the SPL debugging
subsystem they can then explicitly include spl-debug.h.
Along with this change I have dropped the CHECK_STACK macros
because the upstream Linux kernel now has much better stack
depth checking built in and we don't need this complexity.
Additionally SBUG has been replaced with PANIC and provided as
part of the Solaris macro set. While the Solaris version is
really panic() that conflicts with the Linux kernel so we'll
just have to make due to PANIC. It should rarely be called
directly, the prefered usage would be an ASSERT or VERIFY.
There's lots of change here but this cleanup was overdue.
The prototype for filp_fsync() drop the unused argument 'stuct dentry *'.
I've fixed this by adding the needed autoconf check and moving all of
those filp related functions to file_compat.h. This will simplify
handling any further API changes in the future.
Under linux the proc.h header is for the /proc filesystem, and under
Solaris the proc/h header if for processes. This patch correctly
moves the Linux proc functionality in a linux/proc_compat.h header
and leaves the sys/proc.h for use by Solaris. Minor updates were
required to all the call sites where it was included of course.
While I may prefer to have the system panic on an SBUG and to get
crash dump for analysis. I suspect most peoples systems are not
configured from crash dump and the best thing to so is to simply
halt the thread and print an error to the console. This way they
have a good chance of actually saving the stack trace and debug log.
Using /tmp/ is a preferable default, it can always be overriden
using the module option on a case-by-case basis.
Additionally standardize some log messages based on the same
default log level used by the kernel.
Updated AUTHORS, COPYING, DISCLAIMER, and INSTALL files. Added
standardized headers to all source file to clearly indicate the
copyright, license, and to give credit where credit is due.
When dumping a debug log first check that it is safe to create
a new thread and block waiting for it. If we are in an atomic
context or irqs and disabled it is not safe to sleep and we
must write out of the debug log from the current process.
The cmn_err/vcmn_err functions are layered on top of the debug
system which usually expects a newline at the end. However, there
really doesn't need to be a newline there and there in fact should
not be for the CE_CONT case so let's just drop the warning.
Also we make a half-hearted attempt to handle a leading ! which
means only send it to the syslog not the console. In this case
we just send to the the debug logs and not the console.
The previous credential implementation simply provided the needed types and
a couple of dummy functions needed. This update correctly ties the basic
Solaris credential API in to one of two Linux kernel APIs.
Prior to 2.6.29 the linux kernel embeded all credentials in the task
structure. For these kernels, we pass around the entire task struct as if
it were the credential, then we use the helper functions to extract the
credential related bits.
As of 2.6.29 a new credential type was added which we can and do fairly
cleanly layer on top of. Once again the helper functions nicely hide
the implementation details from all callers.
Three tests were added to the splat test framework to verify basic
correctness. They should be extended as needed when need credential
functions are added.
- Initial SLES testing uncovered a long standing bug in the debug
tracing. The tcd_for_each() macro expected a NULL to terminate
the trace_data[i] array but this was only ever true due to luck.
All trace_data[] iterators are now properly capped by TCD_TYPE_MAX.
- SPLAT_MAJOR 229 conflicted with a 'hvc' device on my SLES system.
Since this was always an arbitrary choice I picked something else.
- The HAVE_PGDAT_LIST case should set pgdat_list_addr to the value stored
at the address of the memory location returned by kallsyms_lookup_name().
