When I run the following .d script with DTrace for Linux:
#!/usr/sbin/dtrace -s
syscall::open:entry
{
#[ustack()] = count();
}
I get many errors of the following kind:
dtrace: error on enabled probe ID 2 (ID 320864: syscall:x64:open:entry): invalid address (0xfffd) in action #2
dtrace: error on enabled probe ID 2 (ID 320864: syscall:x64:open:entry): invalid address (0xfffd) in action #2
dtrace: error on enabled probe ID 2 (ID 320864: syscall:x64:open:entry): invalid address (0xfffd) in action #2
What should I do to fix them?
You should try a later dtrace release. I believe this was fixed - the stack walk code had to keep on being rewritten due to erraticness of compilers, distros and 32 vs 64 bit kernels.

I see the following error running dmesg in my Linux running on a embedded board (Qualcomm RB5). The Linux is built using Yocto.
/ # dmesg
dmesg: klogctl: Operation not permitted
As you see, I'm running as root. I am also aware of the question here. But when I issue the solution given there I get the following error:
/ # echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/dmesg_restrict
sh: write error: Operation not permitted
Any idea how should I get around with it?
I want to reset SRK.
It can also be seen as a Factory Reset of the TPM.
I tried tpm2_clear but it doesn't work.

Is there any way SRK reset?
You're on the right track, tpm2_clear clears the owner hierarchy, that is the SRK and all its child keys.
According to the command specification (sec. 24.6) there are multiple reasons why tpm2_clear could fail.
1. The platform hierarchy is disabled
This error is quite subtle because it is not mentioned explicitly in the command description for TPM2_Clear. By default, TPM2_Clear operates on the platform hierarchy. However, the platform hierarchy can be disabled (phEnable bit clear) via the command TPM2_HierarchyControl:
tpm2_hierarchycontrol -C p phEnable clear
Any future use of the platform hierarchy should result in the return code TPM2_RC_HANDLE = 0x0000010B. However, there is no TPM command to re-enable the platform hierarchy. Architecture specification (Sec 13.3):
When phEnable is CLEAR, a _TPM_Init is required to SET it.
It seems you need to reset your TPM (toggling the hardware reset signal or power off) to re-enable the platform hierarchy.
If this does not solve your problem, see the next potential issue.
2. TPM2_Clear Command is disabled
This is probably not your problem, because it would yield another error (return code TPM_RC_DISABLED = 0x0000120).
The TPM2_Clear command can be disabled (disableClear bit set). This is done via the command TPM2_ClearControl. To enable clearing, call tpm2_clearcontrol -Cp c. Like tpm2_clear, tpm2_clearcontrol requires platform authorization.
Need help debugging shared library with gdb.
I am trying to debug a shared library and in my case it is:
libc-2.23.so
The reason is that I get theese lines in dmesg:

The address where libc-2.23.so is loaded does not change after time stamp 100625.457854 since I ran the command:
$ echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space
In order to be able to load it under gdb.
What I have done so far is that I have established that the segfault always occur on the same offset from the shared librarys loaded address.
I calculated the offset by taking instruction pointer minus load address in python:
ld = ["7f309c2f1000", "7f30db7d2000", "7f0b87e61000", "7f60d590b000", "7f5f87157000", "7ffff71aa000"]
ip = ["7f309c36f44b", "7f30db85044b", "7f0b87edf44b", "7f60d598944b", "7f5f871d544b", "7ffff722844b"]
ld_val = [int(x,16) for x in ld]
ip_val=[int(x,16) for x in ip]
ip_off=[i-s for (i,s) in zip(ip_val,ld_val)]
ip_off
[517195, 517195, 517195, 517195, 517195, 517195]
So using this information I got the offending line from executing:
$ addr2line -e /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.23.so -fCi 0x7e44b
malloc_consolidate
/build/glibc-9tT8Do/glibc-2.23/malloc/malloc.c:4167
Since I run Ubuntu 16.04 I installed the sources by issuing:
$ apt-get source glibc-source
Inspecting the offending line showed that it was just a comment.
malloc.c:4167
/* Slightly streamlined version of consolidation code in free() */
inside function:
static void malloc_consolidate(mstate av)
So I am assuming I am doing something wrong here.
Any pointer on how to capture this "segfault"?
So I am assuming I am doing something wrong here.
You aren't.
The symptoms you are looking at are 99.999% result of heap corruption, and since this is happening in compiz, there is little you can do except file a bug report.
To make a useful bug report, it would help if you could run compiz under Valgrind. Running it under GDB will not help.
I had gdb loaded with the library and breakpoint on line 4167 but no break even if I got a new entry in dmesg.
That means you are debugging the wrong process. Perhaps compiz forks helper processes, and one of them dies?
I'd like to communicate read from my RTC in C code rather than the "hwclock" shell command.
However, when I use i2cdetect, it shows 0x68(which is my RTC slave address) is having the status "UU", which means "Probing was skipped, because this address is currently in use by a driver". And after I tried the i2cget, its givng "could bot set address to 0x68: Device or resource busy".
So I'm thinking if there are some problem in my Linux kernel that will force to read from my RTC all the time, or some other reason.
Thanks
I am assuming that you are using DS-1307 RTC, or one of its variants (because of 0x68 slave address). Check if its driver is loaded by:
$ lsmod | grep rtc
If you seen an entry of rtc_ds1307, (like this -> rtc_ds1307 17394 0 ) in the output of above command then this driver might be in hold of that address.
If the driver is loaded in system then unload it using
$ rmmod rtc-ds1307
EDIT:
(In light of OP's feedback,) Please do the following
1) cat /sys/bus/i2c/devices/3-0068/modalias. This will give you the name of the kernel driver that is keeping this device busy. Copy the driver-name after the colon(:)
OP's output of the command tells us that its ds1337
2) Check if ds1337 is an alias for a driver, using
grep ds1337 /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.alias
Hopefully you will get the following output
alias i2c:ds1337 rtc_ds1307
This confirms our presumption that rtc_ds1307 is infact the driver in hold of the I2C address 0x68.
3) use rmmod rtc_ds1307 to unload the driver.
Note: This will only work if the driver is a Loadable Kernel Module, otherwise you will see the following error:
ERROR: Module rtc_ds1307 does not exist in /proc/modules
In that case you will have to recompile the kernel again with that driver disabled/modularized.
0x68 is being used by some driver,
Disable that driver in kernel source code and recompile source code.
I am trying to implement a virtual mouse driver according to the Essential Linux device Drivers book. There is a user space application, which generates coordinates as well as a kernel module.
See: Virtual mouse driver and userspace application code and also a step by step on how to use this driver.
1.) I compile the code of the user space application and driver.
2.) Next i checked dmesg output and have,
input: Unspecified device as /class/input/input32
Virtual Mouse Driver Initialized
3.) The sysfs node was created properly during initialization (found in /sys/devices/platform/vms/coordinates)
4.) I know that the virtual mouse driver (input32 ) is linked to event5 by checking the following:
$ cat /proc/bus/input/devices
I: Bus=0000 Vendor=0000 Product=0000 Version=0000
N: Name=""
P: Phys=
S: Sysfs=/devices/virtual/input/input32
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=event5
B: EV=5
B: REL=3
5.) Next i attach a GPM server to the event interface: gpm -m /dev/input/event5 -t evdev
6.) Run the user space application to generate random coordinates for virtual mouse and observe generated coordinates using od -x /dev/input/event5.
And nothing happens. Why?
Also here author mentioned that gdm should be stopped, using /etc/init.d/gdm stop, but i get "no such service" when stopping gdm.
Here is my complete script for building and runing virtual mouse:
make -C /usr/src/kernel/2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686/ SUBDIRS=$PWD modules
gcc -o app_userspace app_userspace.c
insmod app.ko
gpm -m /dev/input-event5 -t evdev
./app_userspace
Makefile:
obj-m+=app.o
Kernel version: 2.6.35.6
As i said before i can recieve the result through od, but i received it through your program
echo 9 19 > /sys/devices/platform/virmouse/vmevent
gives:
time 1368284298.207654 type 2 code 0 value 9
time 1368284298.207657 type 2 code 1 value 19
time 1368284298.207662 type 0 code 0 value 0
So now the question is: what is wrong with X11? I would like to stress, that i tried this code under two different distributions Ubuntu 11.04 and Fedora 14.
Maybe this will help: in Xorg.0.log i see the following:
[ 21.022] (II) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring)
[ 272.987] (II) config/udev: Adding input device (/dev/input/event5)
[ 272.987] (II) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring)
[ 666.521] (II) config/udev: Adding input device (/dev/input/event5)
[ 666.521] (II) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring)
I spent a huge amount of time, resolving this issue, and i would like to help other people, who run in this problem. I think some outer X11 features interfered my module work. After disabling GDM it now works fine (runlevel 3). Working code you can find here http://fred-zone.blogspot.ru/2010/01/mouse-linux-kernel-driver.html working distro ubuntu 11.04 (gdm disabled)
Try replacing the below lines of code in the input device driver
set_bit(EV_REL, vms_input_dev->evbit);
set_bit(REL_X, vms_input_dev->relbit);
set_bit(REL_Y, vms_input_dev->relbit);
with
vms_input_dev->name = "Virtual Mouse";
vms_input_dev->phys = "vmd/input0"; // "vmd" is the driver's name
vms_input_dev->id.bustype = BUS_VIRTUAL;
vms_input_dev->id.vendor = 0x0000;
vms_input_dev->id.product = 0x0000;
vms_input_dev->id.version = 0x0000;
vms_input_dev->evbit[0] = BIT_MASK(EV_KEY) | BIT_MASK(EV_REL);
vms_input_dev->keybit[BIT_WORD(BTN_MOUSE)] = BIT_MASK(BTN_LEFT) | BIT_MASK(BTN_RIGHT) | BIT_MASK(BTN_MIDDLE);
vms_input_dev->relbit[0] = BIT_MASK(REL_X) | BIT_MASK(REL_Y);
vms_input_dev->keybit[BIT_WORD(BTN_MOUSE)] |= BIT_MASK(BTN_SIDE) | BIT_MASK(BTN_EXTRA);
vms_input_dev->relbit[0] |= BIT_MASK(REL_WHEEL);
It worked for me on ubuntu 12.04
