This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking

that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically

|
|
correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
|
|
|
|
not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
|
|
|
|
sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
|
|
|
|
arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
|
|
|
|
deadlock.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
|
|
|
|
related deadlocks before they actually occur.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
|
|
|
|
deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
|
|
|
|
participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
|
|
|
|
for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
|
|
|
|
timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
|
|
|
|
theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
|
|
|
|
is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
|
|
|
|
reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
|
|
|
|
makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
|
|
|
|
observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
|
|
|
|
kernel reports nothing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
|
|
|
|
and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
|
|
|
|
different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
|
|
|
|
the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
|
|
|
|
arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

blackfin architecture
This adds support for the Analog Devices Blackfin processor architecture, and
currently supports the BF533, BF532, BF531, BF537, BF536, BF534, and BF561
(Dual Core) devices, with a variety of development platforms including those
avaliable from Analog Devices (BF533-EZKit, BF533-STAMP, BF537-STAMP,
BF561-EZKIT), and Bluetechnix! Tinyboards.
The Blackfin architecture was jointly developed by Intel and Analog Devices
Inc. (ADI) as the Micro Signal Architecture (MSA) core and introduced it in
December of 2000. Since then ADI has put this core into its Blackfin
processor family of devices. The Blackfin core has the advantages of a clean,
orthogonal,RISC-like microprocessor instruction set. It combines a dual-MAC
(Multiply/Accumulate), state-of-the-art signal processing engine and
single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) multimedia capabilities into a single
instruction-set architecture.
The Blackfin architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the
ADSP-BF53x/BF56x Blackfin Processor Programming Reference
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/download/frsrelease/29/2549/Blackfin_PRM.pdf
The Blackfin processor is already supported by major releases of gcc, and
there are binary and source rpms/tarballs for many architectures at:
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/toolchain/frs There is complete
documentation, including "getting started" guides available at:
http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/ which provides links to the sources and
patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling environment for
bfin-linux-uclibc
This patch, as well as the other patches (toolchain, distribution,
uClibc) are actively supported by Analog Devices Inc, at:
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/
We have tested this on LTP, and our test plan (including pass/fails) can
be found at:
http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=testing_the_linux_kernel

This option determines if the kernel forces gcc to inline the functions

developers have marked 'inline'. Doing so takes away freedom from gcc to

do what it thinks is best, which is desirable for the gcc 3.x series of

compilers. The gcc 4.x series have a rewritten inlining algorithm and

disabling this option will generate a smaller kernel there. Hopefully

this algorithm is so good that allowing gcc4 to make the decision can
|
|
|
|
become the default in the future, until then this option is there to
|
|

test gcc for this.
