Revision ff497452636f4687e517964817b7e2bd99f4b44b authored by Linus Torvalds on 30 August 2013, 00:02:48 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 30 August 2013, 00:02:48 UTC
Pull workqueue fix from Tejun Heo: "This contains one fix which could lead to system-wide lockup on !PREEMPT kernels. It's very late in the cycle but this definitely is a -stable material. The problem is that workqueue worker tasks may process unlimited number of work items back-to-back without every yielding inbetween. This usually isn't noticeable but a work item which re-queues itself waiting for someone else to do something can deadlock with stop_machine. stop_machine will ensure nothing else happens on all other cpus and the requeueing work item will reqeueue itself indefinitely without ever yielding and thus preventing the CPU from entering stop_machine. Kudos to Jamie Liu for spotting and diagnosing the problem. This can be trivially fixed by adding cond_resched() after processing each work item" * 'for-3.11-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: workqueue: cond_resched() after processing each work item
mksysmap
#!/bin/sh -x
# Based on the vmlinux file create the System.map file
# System.map is used by module-init tools and some debugging
# tools to retrieve the actual addresses of symbols in the kernel.
#
# Usage
# mksysmap vmlinux System.map
#####
# Generate System.map (actual filename passed as second argument)
# $NM produces the following output:
# f0081e80 T alloc_vfsmnt
# The second row specify the type of the symbol:
# A = Absolute
# B = Uninitialised data (.bss)
# C = Common symbol
# D = Initialised data
# G = Initialised data for small objects
# I = Indirect reference to another symbol
# N = Debugging symbol
# R = Read only
# S = Uninitialised data for small objects
# T = Text code symbol
# U = Undefined symbol
# V = Weak symbol
# W = Weak symbol
# Corresponding small letters are local symbols
# For System.map filter away:
# a - local absolute symbols
# U - undefined global symbols
# N - debugging symbols
# w - local weak symbols
# readprofile starts reading symbols when _stext is found, and
# continue until it finds a symbol which is not either of 'T', 't',
# 'W' or 'w'. __crc_ are 'A' and placed in the middle
# so we just ignore them to let readprofile continue to work.
# (At least sparc64 has __crc_ in the middle).
$NM -n $1 | grep -v '\( [aNUw] \)\|\(__crc_\)\|\( \$[adt]\)' > $2
