From 99e8c5a3b875a34d894a711c9a3669858d6adf45 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Date: Thu, 17 Dec 2009 01:33:54 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] hw-breakpoints: Fix hardware breakpoints -> perf events dependency The kbuild's select command doesn't propagate through the config dependencies. Hence the current rules of hardware breakpoint's config can't ensure perf can never be disabled under us. We have: config X86 selects HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS config HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS select PERF_EVENTS config PERF_EVENTS [...] x86 will select the breakpoints but that won't propagate to perf events. The user can still disable the latter, but it is necessary for the breakpoints. What we need is: - x86 selects HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS and PERF_EVENTS - HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS depends on PERF_EVENTS so that we ensure PERF_EVENTS is enabled and frozen for x86. This fixes the following kind of build errors: In file included from arch/x86/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:31: include/linux/hw_breakpoint.h: In function 'hw_breakpoint_addr': include/linux/hw_breakpoint.h:39: error: 'struct perf_event' has no member named 'attr' v2: Select also ANON_INODES from x86, required for perf Reported-by: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com> Reported-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz> Reported-by: Andrew Randrianasulu <randrik_a@yahoo.com> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Cc: K.Prasad <prasad@linux.vnet.ibm.com> LKML-Reference: <1261010034-7786-1-git-send-regression-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> --- arch/Kconfig | 4 +--- arch/x86/Kconfig | 2 ++ 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/Kconfig b/arch/Kconfig index d82875820a15..9d055b4f0585 100644 --- a/arch/Kconfig +++ b/arch/Kconfig @@ -135,9 +135,7 @@ config HAVE_DEFAULT_NO_SPIN_MUTEXES config HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT bool - depends on HAVE_PERF_EVENTS - select ANON_INODES - select PERF_EVENTS + depends on PERF_EVENTS config HAVE_USER_RETURN_NOTIFIER bool diff --git a/arch/x86/Kconfig b/arch/x86/Kconfig index 3b2a5aca4edb..55298e891571 100644 --- a/arch/x86/Kconfig +++ b/arch/x86/Kconfig @@ -50,6 +50,8 @@ config X86 select HAVE_KERNEL_BZIP2 select HAVE_KERNEL_LZMA select HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT + select PERF_EVENTS + select ANON_INODES select HAVE_ARCH_KMEMCHECK select HAVE_USER_RETURN_NOTIFIER -- GitLab
