[PATCH 0/4] [-mm patch] Cleanup add-vmcoreinfo.patch v2

[PATCH 0/4] [-mm patch] Cleanup add-vmcoreinfo.patch v2

[Ken'ichi Ohmichi]

Hi Andrew,

I updated the cleanup patchset for add-vmcoreinfo.patch.
* Cleanup add-vmcoreinfo.patch v1:
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0709.1/0318.html

This patchset (v2) includes a new patch[4/4] for adding a prefix
"VMCOREINFO_" to the vmcoreinfo macros. Other patches ([1/4]-[3/4])
don't have any changes.

Changelog:
  - Add "Add a prefix VMCOREINFO_ to the vmcoreinfo macros" patch.

Patchset:
[1/4] Cleanup the coding style according to Andrew's comments:
  http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2007-August/000522.html
  - vmcoreinfo_append_str() should have suitable __attribute__s so that
    the compiler can check its use.
  - vmcoreinfo_max_size should have size_t.
  - Use get_seconds() instead of xtime.tv_sec.
  - Use init_uts_ns.name.release instead of UTS_RELEASE.

[2/4] Add nodemask_t's size and NR_FREE_PAGES's value to vmcoreinfo_data.
  The dump filetering command 'makedumpfile'(v1.1.6 or before) had assumed
  the above values, and it was not good from the reliability viewpoint.
  So makedumpfile v1.2.0 came to need these values and I created the patch
  to let the kernel output them.
  makedumpfile site:
  https://sourceforge.net/projects/makedumpfile/

[3/4] Use the existing ia64_tpa() instead of asm code.

[4/4] Add a prefix "VMCOREINFO_" to the vmcoreinfo macros.
  Old vmcoreinfo macros were defined as generic names SYMBOL/SIZE/OFFSET
  /LENGTH/CONFIG, and it is impossible to grep for them. So these names
  should be changed. This discussion is the following:
  http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0709.1/0415.html


Thanks

The #define SIZE() should be renamed STRUCT_SIZE() since it's always 
returning the size of the struct with a given name.  This would allow 
TYPEDEF_SIZE() to simply become SIZE() since it need not be used 
exclusively for typedefs.

Thank you for the comment.
That sounds good, I'll post a new patch including it.

Thank you for merging them into linux-2.6.23-rc6-mm1.
Additionally, could you merge the following patches to clean up
add-vmcoreinfo.patch ?

[PATCH 5/4] [-mm patch] Rename macros returning the size.
 The #define SIZE() should be renamed STRUCT_SIZE() since it's always 
 returning the size of the struct with a given name.  This would allow 
 TYPEDEF_SIZE() to simply become SIZE() since it need not be used 
 exclusively for typedefs. This idea is David Rientjes's.
 http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0709.1/1964.html
 
[PATCH 6/4] [-mm patch] use the existing offsetof().
 It is better that offsetof() is used for VMCOREINFO_OFFSET().
 This idea is Joe Perches's.

Hmm, I think adding a s-o-b line for David here isn't quite correct.
When someone reviews a patch and gives a suggestion, you only need to
copy him on the next iteration (and he may ack it or whatever, if he
wants) -- but adding a s-o-b line like that ends up (incorrectly)
denoting that he came between the author-to-git-commit chain ...

Please use %zu and lose all the ugly (unsigned long) casts here.

... and here. Use %zu and lose the casts.

BTW I don't think these macros are such a big win in readability or
code clarity anyway. And I noticed that there are still some open
calls to vmcoreinfo_append_str() in kexec.c (such as for the OS_RELEASE
case) which you haven't macro-ized ... we end up having code that looks
like:

	vmcoreinfo_append_str(...);
	...

	...
	VMCOREINFO_OFFSET(...);
	...

and it's not even obvious (unless you follow on to the definition of the
later macro) that the above two are *exactly* the same. So you could also
consider just losing the macros altogether.

I want to use these macros for calls to vmcoreinfo_append_str(), because
the strings included in each macro ("SIZE(XXX)=", "OFFSET(XXX)=", etc.)
are very important. makedumpfile command reads these strings and gets the
debugging information (structure sizes, field offsets, etc.). If losing
these macros and there is a typo like "OFESET(page.mapping)=", the command
cannot run. To prevent this mistake, these macros are very useful.

For more readability, I think it is good that all the calls are changed
to macros having a prefix "VMCOREINFO_" like the attached patch.

I created a new single add-vmcoreinfo.patch with the following cleanup patches.

* Cleanup patches:
  1. add-vmcore-cleanup-the-coding-style-according-to-andrews-comments.patch
  2. add-vmcore-add-nodemask_ts-size-and-nr_free_pagess-value-to-vmcoreinfo_data.patch
  3. add-vmcore-use-the-existing-ia64_tpa-instead-of-asm-code.patch
  4. add-vmcore-add-a-prefix-vmcoreinfo_-to-the-vmcoreinfo-macros.patch
  5. Re: [PATCH 5/4] [-mm patch] Rename macros returning the size.
