- Fix depmod invocation on RPM %post-installation. (Nick Alcock)

- Force dtrace_ctf.ko to be loaded whenever dtrace.ko is. (Nick Alcock)
- Missing file. (Kris Van Hees)
- - sched-tick SDT probe. - FBT probe point discovery and probe
creation. - Moving code around for the kernel pseudo-module handling
since it gets used by both the SDT code and the FBT code. (Kris Van
Hees)
- Add argument description info for SDT probes. (Kris Van Hees)
- Implement refcount handling in DTrace modules to ensure that they
cannot be unloaded while probes are enabled. (Kris Van Hees)
- New DTrace option DTRACEOPT_QUIETRESIZE, and accordingly-boosted
DTRACEOPT_MAX. (Nick Alcock)
- Changed from using mutex_is_locked() to a new mutex_owned(), in
support of the Solaris MUTEX_HELD() macro. The former was merely
testing whether the mutex was locked, whereas the real test needed here
is whether the mutex is held by the current thread. (Kris Van Hees)
- Make all allocations that are allowed to fail atomic, and surpress
warnings about out-of-memory conditions, since they are not harmful.
Also, do not allow DTrace allocations to access the emergency pools.
(Kris Van Hees)
- Fix signed division and modulo operations in DIF. Ensure that SDT
probe points are patched with a NOP sequence at boot time. Remove
debugging output during SDT registration. (Kris Van Hees)
- Forgot to commit the changes to the header file. (Kris Van Hees)
- The idr_empty() macro is no longer needed. (Kris Van Hees)
- Fix for incorrect handling of BUFSIZE = 0. The handling of
aggregations was flawed in that even without any ECBs with aggregation,
the code logic was assuming there was at least one aggregation (the
sentinel in the IDR). The handling of the aggregations IDR in the
DTrace state has been updated to use an explicit counter because the IDR
functionality does not provide us with an API function to determine the
amount of elements in the IDR. (Kris Van Hees)
- Initial values for min and max aggregate functions were incorrectly
set to be UINT64 values rather than INT64 values, causing the initial
minimum value to be -1, and the initial maximum value to be 0.
Corrected to be INT64 values. (Kris Van Hees)
- Ensure that the trap handler is regisstered only once. Register with
first use, (Kris Van Hees)
- Ensure that the die notifier hook is installed whenever DTrace is
enabled, since page fault and general protection fault handling depends
on it, and that is needed for safe memory access support in DTrace.
(Kris Van Hees)
- Support for page fault and general protection fault detection for
DTrace, to ensure that DTrace memory access faults are non-fatal. (Kris
Van Hees)
- SDT implementation (core kernel support for providing a list of static
probe points for the kernel pseudo-module, dtrace SDT meta-provider
support, ...). Also, new script (dtrace_sdt.sh) to extract locations of
SDT probe points in the core kernel. (Kris Van Hees)
- Enable processing the SDT probe point info at boot time (before SMP is
actually enabled), if DTrace SDT support has been enabled (built-in or
as module). For now, provide some verbose info on the probe points
getting resolved. (Kris Van Hees)
- Fix resolving addresses of relocation records for SDT probe points.
The addresses were being calculated based on the wrong starting point
(_stext whereas it ought to be _text), and the base was not taken into
account. Fixed the writing of NOPs in the location of the probe point
calls, since the existing case was causing kernel paging faults. Made
the add_nops() function in alternative.c non-static so it can be used in
sdt_register. Use add_nops() to select the most appropriate NOP sequence
for replacing the probe point call, and write the NOPs using
text_poke(). (Kris Van Hees)
- Fixed the allocation of cyclics that was the cuase for some obscure
crashes during the testsuite execution. Problem was that cyclics were
being allocated in chunks, with a new array being allocated as
(prev-size + chink-size), and then the old entries being copied over.
However, because the hrtimer struct is embedded in the cyclic struct,
this meant that hrtimer structs were being moved outside the hrtimer
code. (Kris Van Hees)
- Handle the case where regs (during cyclic processing) is NULL. This
indicates a bug but with this code change we'll survive that case and
simply not have meaningful PC and UPC values as argument to the probe,
which is better than a full scale OOPS due to NULL pointer dereference.
(Kris Van Hees)
- Removed dead code (was #if 0 ... #endif). Cleaned up ;; -> ;. (Kris
Van Hees)
- Implementation for tracing stub-based system calls. Due to the need
for specialized code handling (mainly passing in a pt_regs structure as
one of the arguments), some syscalls are called through a stub in
assembly code. We duplicate the stub cdode in dtrace_stubs_x86_64.S, but
instead of calling the actual syscall implementation code call our own
syscall-specific handler, which ensures that entry and return probes are
called as enabled, and then call the underlying implementation directly
for handling the syscall. (Kris Van Hees)
- Stacktrace dumping has been moved to the GPL-licensed dtrace_os.c
because it depends on a symbol that is exported as GPL-only.
Functionality in dtrace_isa that requires stacktrace dumping can now use
dtrace_stacktrace(). (Kris Van Hees)
- Fix porting issues from 2.6.32 to 2.6.39. Disable stub_* based
syscalls (for now). (Kris Van Hees)
- Move cyclic.h into include/linux. (Nick Alcock)
- Finish GPL/CDDL splitting work. (Nick Alcock)
- Set MODULE_LICENSE to CDDL. (Nick Alcock)
- CDDL copyrights for everything needing it. (Nick Alcock)
- Initial commit of DTrace. (Nick Alcock)
