ARC: stack unwinding: avoid indefinite looping

2020-11-10T11:37:33+00:00

commit 328d2168ca524d501fc4b133d6be076142bd305c upstream.

Currently stack unwinder is a while(1) loop which relies on the dwarf
unwinder to signal termination, which in turn relies on dwarf info to do
so. This in theory could cause an infinite loop if the dwarf info was
somehow messed up or the register contents were etc.

This fix thus detects the excessive looping and breaks the loop.

arc: do not use __print_symbol()

2017-12-20T20:41:43+00:00

__print_symbol() uses extra stack space to sprintf() symbol
information and then to feed that buffer to printk()

  char buffer[KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN];

  sprint_symbol(buffer, address);
  printk(fmt, buffer);

Replace __print_symbol() with a direct printk("%pS") call.

sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to

2017-03-02T07:42:34+00:00

We are going to split  out of , which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder  file that just
maps to  to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

arc: unwind: warn only once if DW2_UNWIND is disabled

2016-06-28T05:41:44+00:00

If CONFIG_ARC_DW2_UNWIND is disabled every time arc_unwind_core()
gets called following message gets printed in debug console:
----------------->8---------------
CONFIG_ARC_DW2_UNWIND needs to be enabled
----------------->8---------------

That message makes sense if user indeed wants to see a backtrace or
get nice function call-graphs in perf but what if user disabled
unwinder for the purpose? Why pollute his debug console?

So instead we'll warn user about possibly missing feature once and
let him decide if that was what he or she really wanted.

ARC: stack unwinder to bail if PC is not kernel mode

2015-06-19T12:39:29+00:00

Currently, it doesn't invoke the callback but continues to unwind

Also while at it - simplify the code a bit

ARC: Fix KSTK_ESP()

2015-02-27T05:18:23+00:00

/proc//maps currently don't annotate stack vma with "[stack]"
This is because KSTK_ESP ie expected to return usermode SP of tsk while
currently it returns the kernel mode SP of a sleeping tsk.

While the fix is trivial, we also need to adjust the ARC kernel stack
unwinder to not use KSTK_SP and friends any more.
