tracing: Prevent kernel oops with corrupted buffer

2010-01-25T20:11:53Z

If the contents of the ftrace ring buffer gets corrupted and the trace file is read, it could create a kernel oops (usualy just killing the user task thread). This is caused by the checking of the pid in the buffer. If the pid is negative, it still references the cmdline cache array, which could point to an invalid address. The simple fix is to test for negative PIDs. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracing: Fix setting tracer specific options

2009-12-22T03:35:16Z

The function __set_tracer_option() takes as its last parameter a "neg" value. If set it should negate the value of the option. The trace_options_write() passed the value written to the file which is what the new value needs to be set as. But since this is not the negative, it never sets the value.

tracing: Fix return of trace_dump_stack()

2009-12-15T07:36:11Z

The trace_dump_stack() returned a value for a void function. Also, added the missing stub for trace_dump_stack() when tracing is not configured. Reported-by: Ingo Molnar LKML-Reference: <20091214162713.GA31060@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

locking: Convert raw_spinlock to arch_spinlock

2009-12-14T22:55:32Z

The raw_spin* namespace was taken by lockdep for the architecture specific implementations. raw_spin_* would be the ideal name space for the spinlocks which are not converted to sleeping locks in preempt-rt. Linus suggested to convert the raw_ to arch_ locks and cleanup the name space instead of using an artifical name like core_spin, atomic_spin or whatever No functional change.
