[PATCH 0/3] wchan: Fix ORC support and leaky fallback

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

This attempts to solve the issues from the discussion
here[1]. Specifically:

1) wchan has been broken under ORC, seen as a failure to stack walk
   resulting in _usually_ a 0 value, since ee9f8fce9964 (v4.14).

2) wchan leaking raw addresses since 152c432b128c (v5.12).

Based on what I can see in the stack walking code, the fix should be
safe. Jann may have more thoughts, but from what I can see, the walker
pins the stack, decodes only a single step, etc.

I'd like Josh's review of Qi Zheng's patch, though. :)

It's also not clear to me what impact this had on kernel/sched/fair.c:
it would have also been seeing 0s, so this may be fixing a bug there too.

Thanks!
