When attempting to compile test11-pre2, I get the following compile
error.

arch/i386/mm/mm.o: In function `do_page_fault':
arch/i386/mm/mm.o(.text+0x781): undefined reference to `bust_spinlocks'

Did you actually try this?  You are moving bust_spinlocks above the
'extern spinlock_t' declarations intended for it.

My solution was to move the 'extern spinlock_t ...' also :)

Re: test11-pre2 compile error undefined reference to `bust_spinlocks' WHAT?!

[George Anzinger]

The notion of releasing a spin lock by initializing it seems IMHO, on
the face of it, way off.  Firstly the protected area is no longer
protected which could lead to undefined errors/ crashes and secondly,
any future use of spinlocks to control preemption could have a lot of
trouble with this, principally because the locker is unknown.

In the case at hand, it would seem that an unlocked path to the console
is a more correct answer that gives the system a far better chance of
actually remaining viable.

Normally it would be, but these are NMI and panic messages.  The system
is pretty dead at that point, getting the message out is deemed more
important than maintaining the spinlock.  BTW, bust_spinlocks is not my
idea, please direct any queries to Andrew Morton.  I just fixed a link
error.

Does bust_spinlocks() muck up the preemptive kernel's spinlock
counting?  Would you prefer spin_trylock()/spin_unlock()?
It doesn't matter - if we call bust_spinlocks() the kernel is
known to be dead meat and there is a fsck in your near future.

We are still trying to find out why kumon@fujitsu's 8-way is
crashing on the test10-pre5 sched.c.  Looks like it's fixed
in test11-pre2 but we want to know _why_ it's fixed.  And at
present each time he hits the bug, his printk() deadlocks.

So bust_spinlocks() is a RAS feature :)  A very important one -
it's terrible when your one-in-a-trillion bug happens and there
are no diagnostics.

It's a work-in-progress.  There are a lot of things which
can cause printk to deadlock:

- console_lock
- timerlist_lock
- global_irq_lock (console code does global_cli)
- log_wait.lock
- tasklist_lock (printk does wake_up) (*)
- runqueue_lock (printk does wake_up)

I'll be proposing a better patch for this in a few days.

(*) Keith: this explains why you can't do a printk() in
__wake_up_common: printk calls wake_up().  Duh.

Hmm.  I would like to suggest we look at non locking variants of
things. i.e. Data structure version changing with swap.

Well, actually this fails just as badly as the locker is not unlocking
and the preemption counts are task local... BUT, see below.

I agree, this is why, in the preemption patch, we have an "unlocked"
printk.  Attached is the relevant portion of the preemption patch for
test9.

I think it still suffers from the console lock, but it is a bit further
down the road.

The patch also illustrates why I am looking for a way to pass var args
to the next function down the line.  If I had this the patch would be
WAY simple and would not duplicate the body of printf.

It was inside an ifdef.  Apologies.

This patch against test11-pre2 moves it to fault.c.
