Subject: bug in tty ldisc and friends
[ Ingo and Andrew, sorry for the repost, but I forgot to Cc LKML and I
also used Alan's old email. ]
I can easily trigger a bug in the tty code by enabling the event tracers.
Attached is the config.
One dump I get is:

I don't know enough about the tty layer to debug it, but looking at the
asm, I found I hit a bug NULL pointer here:
static int pty_chars_in_buffer(struct tty_struct *tty)
{
struct tty_struct *to = tty->link;
int count;
/* We should get the line discipline lock for "tty->link" */
if (!to || !to->ldisc->ops->chars_in_buffer)
return 0;
The to->ldisc is NULL.
I can trigger other weird crashes too that all seem to happen when ldisc
is being modified.
Here's what I did to get some good output:
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops
# echo no_context:traceoff no_context '*tty*' '*pty*' '*ldisc*' > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
The 'no_context:traceoff' will stop tracing when we hit the no_context
function in the fault handler. This prevents us from losing too much data
from the trace.
# echo function > /debug/tracing/current_tracer
# echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/enable
Then I just ssh to the box, and exit over and over, and usually in about 2
to 5 tries it crashes. If you have the box hooked up to a serial port,
you'll see the trace up to the crash.
If you want to add more functions to trace (tracing all fuctions seems to
be too much and does not trigger the race) just append to the file:
# echo new_func >> /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
also, adding ftrace_dump_on_opps to the command line sets it
automatically.
You can scatter trace_printk()'s in the code if you want more info too.
Here's a trace dump I got:

The cryptic '3d..2' is CPU 3, 'd' means interrupts are disabled, 'N' would
mean need resched set (but it is not because it is a '.') and the last is
the preempt count, although the event markers may disable preemption and
report an incorrect preempt count.
