Commit a82274151a "tracing: Protect ftrace_trace_arrays list in trace_events.c"
added taking the trace_types_lock mutex in trace_events.c as there were
several locations that needed it for protection. Unfortunately, it also
encapsulated a call to tracing_reset_all_online_cpus() which also takes
the trace_types_lock, causing a deadlock.
This happens when a module has tracepoints and has been traced. When the
module is removed, the trace events module notifier will grab the
trace_types_lock, do a bunch of clean ups, and also clears the buffer
by calling tracing_reset_all_online_cpus. This doesn't happen often
which explains why it wasn't caught right away.
Commit a82274151a was marked for stable, which means this must be
sent to stable too.

If a ftrace ops is registered with the SAVE_REGS flag set, and there's
already a ops registered to one of its functions but without the
SAVE_REGS flag, there's a small race window where the SAVE_REGS ops gets
added to the list of callbacks to call for that function before the
callback trampoline gets set to save the regs.
The problem is, the function is not currently saving regs, which opens
a small race window where the ops that is expecting regs to be passed
to it, wont. This can cause a crash if the callback were to reference
the regs, as the SAVE_REGS guarantees that regs will be set.
To fix this, we add a check in the loop case where it checks if the ops
has the SAVE_REGS flag set, and if so, it will ignore it if regs is
not set.

After the previous changes trace_array_cpu->trace_cpu and
trace_array->trace_cpu becomes write-only. Remove these members
and kill "struct trace_cpu" as well.
As a side effect this also removes memset(per_cpu_memory, 0).
It was not needed, alloc_percpu() returns zero-filled memory.

Every "file_operations" used by tracing_init_debugfs_percpu is buggy.
f_op->open/etc does:
1. struct trace_cpu *tc = inode->i_private;
struct trace_array *tr = tc->tr;
2. trace_array_get(tr) or fail;
3. do_something(tc);
But tc (and tr) can be already freed before trace_array_get() is called.
And it doesn't matter whether this file is per-cpu or it was created by
init_tracer_debugfs(), free_percpu() or kfree() are equally bad.
Note that even 1. is not safe, the freed memory can be unmapped. But even
if it was safe trace_array_get() can wrongly succeed if we also race with
the next new_instance_create() which can re-allocate the same tr, or tc
was overwritten and ->tr points to the valid tr. In this case 3. uses the
freed/reused memory.
Add the new trivial helper, trace_create_cpu_file() which simply calls
trace_create_file() and encodes "cpu" in "struct inode". Another helper,
tracing_get_cpu() will be used to read cpu_nr-or-RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS.
The patch abuses ->i_cdev to encode the number, it is never used unless
the file is S_ISCHR(). But we could use something else, say, i_bytes or
even ->d_fsdata. In any case this hack is hidden inside these 2 helpers,
it would be trivial to change them if needed.
This patch only changes tracing_init_debugfs_percpu() to use the new
trace_create_cpu_file(), the next patches will change file_operations.
Note: tracing_get_cpu(inode) is always safe but you can't trust the
result unless trace_array_get() was called, without trace_types_lock
which acts as a barrier it can wrongly return RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS.

event_id_read() has no reason to kmalloc "struct trace_seq"
(more than PAGE_SIZE!), it can use a small buffer instead.
Note: "if (*ppos) return 0" looks strange and even wrong,
simple_read_from_buffer() handles ppos != 0 case corrrectly.
And it seems that almost every user of trace_seq in this file
should be converted too. Unless you use seq_open(), trace_seq
buys nothing compared to the raw buffer, but it needs a bit
more memory and code.

f_next() looks overcomplicated, and it is not strictly correct
even if this doesn't matter.
Say, FORMAT_FIELD_SEPERATOR should not return NULL (means EOF)
if trace_get_fields() returns an empty list, we should simply
advance to FORMAT_PRINTFMT as we do when we find the end of list.
1. Change f_next() to return "struct list_head *" rather than
"ftrace_event_field *", and change f_show() to do list_entry().
This simplifies the code a bit, only f_show() needs to know
about ftrace_event_field, and f_next() can play with ->prev
directly
2. Change f_next() to not play with ->prev / return inside the
switch() statement. It can simply set node = head/common_head,
the prev-or-advance-to-the-next-magic below does all work.
While at it. f_start() looks overcomplicated too. I don't think
*pos == 0 makes sense as a separate case, just change this code
to do "while" instead of "do/while".
The patch also moves f_start() down, close to f_stop(). This is
purely cosmetic, just to make the locking added by the next patch
more clear/visible.

The selftest for function and function graph tracers are defined as
__init, as they are only executed at boot up. The "tracer" structs
that are associated to those tracers are not setup as __init as they
are used after boot. To stop mismatch warnings, those structures
need to be annotated with __ref_data.
Currently, the tracer structures are defined to __read_mostly, as they
do not really change. But in the future they should be converted to
consts, but that will take a little work because they have a "next"
pointer that gets updated when they are registered. That will have to
wait till the next major release.

Here are some driver core patches for 3.11-rc2. They aren't really
bugfixes, but a bunch of new helper macros for drivers to properly
create attribute groups, which drivers and subsystems need to fix up a
ton of race issues with incorrectly creating sysfs files (binary and
normal) after userspace has been told that the device is present.
Also here is the ability to create binary files as attribute groups, to
solve that race condition, which was impossible to do before this, so
that's my fault the drivers were broken.
The majority of the .c changes is indenting and moving code around a
bit. It affects no existing code, but allows the large backlog of 70+
patches that I already have created to start flowing into the different
subtrees, instead of having to live in my driver-core tree, causing
merge nightmares in linux-next for the next few months.
These were finalized too late for the -rc1 merge window, which is why
they were didn't make that pull request, testing and review from others
didn't happen until a few weeks ago, and then there's the whole
distraction of the past few days, which prevented these from getting to
you sooner, sorry about that.
Oh, and there's a bugfix for the documentation build warning in here as
well. All of these have been in linux-next this week, with no reported
problems.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in
the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include)
that don't really have a specific maintainer.

Prevent automatic system suspend from happening during system
shutdown by making try_to_suspend() check system_state and return
immediately if it is not SYSTEM_RUNNING.
This prevents the following breakage from happening (scenario from
Zhang Yanmin):
Kernel starts shutdown and calls all device driver's shutdown
callback. When a driver's shutdown is called, the last wakelock is
released and suspend-to-ram starts. However, as some driver's shut
down callbacks already shut down devices and disabled runtime pm,
the suspend-to-ram calls driver's suspend callback without noticing
that device is already off and causes crash.

task_cgroup_path_from_hierarchy() was added for the planned new users
and none of the currently planned users wants to know about multiple
hierarchies. This patch drops the multiple hierarchy part and makes
it always return the path in the first non-dummy hierarchy.
As unified hierarchy will always have id 1, this is guaranteed to
return the path for the unified hierarchy if mounted; otherwise, it
will return the path from the hierarchy which happens to occupy the
lowest hierarchy id, which will usually be the first hierarchy mounted
after boot.

David reported that the HRTICK sched feature was borken; which was enough
motivation for me to finally fix it ;-)
We should not allow hrtimer code to do softirq wakeups while holding scheduler
locks. The hrtimer code only needs this when we accidentally try to program an
expired time. We don't much care about those anyway since we have the regular
tick to fall back to.

On ARM systems the dummy clockevent is registered with the cpu
hotplug notifier chain before any other per-cpu clockevent. This
has the side-effect of causing the dummy clockevent to be
registered first in every hotplug sequence. Because the dummy is
first, we'll try to turn the broadcast source on but the code in
tick_device_uses_broadcast() assumes the broadcast source is in
periodic mode and calls tick_broadcast_start_periodic()
unconditionally.
On boot this isn't a problem because we typically haven't
switched into oneshot mode yet (if at all). During hotplug, if
the broadcast source isn't in periodic mode we'll replace the
broadcast oneshot handler with the broadcast periodic handler and
start emulating oneshot mode when we shouldn't. Due to the way
the broadcast oneshot handler programs the next_event it's
possible for it to contain KTIME_MAX and cause us to hang the
system when the periodic handler tries to program the next tick.
Fix this by using the appropriate function to start the broadcast
source.

Paul was quick to explain that due to preemptible RCU we cannot call
rcu_read_unlock() while holding scheduler (or nested) locks when part
of the read side critical section was preemptible.
Therefore solve it by making the entire RCU read side non-preemptible.
Also pull out the retry from under the non-preempt to play nice with RT.

Currently when the child context for inherited events is
created, it's based on the pmu object of the first event
of the parent context.
This is wrong for the following scenario:
- HW context having HW and SW event
- HW event got removed (closed)
- SW event stays in HW context as the only event
and its pmu is used to clone the child context
The issue starts when the cpu context object is touched
based on the pmu context object (__get_cpu_context). In
this case the HW context will work with SW cpu context
ending up with following WARN below.
Fixing this by using parent context pmu object to clone
from child context.

were added to 3.10, which includes several bug fixes that have been
marked for stable.
As for new features, there were a few, but nothing to write to LWN about.
These include:
New function trigger called "dump" and "cpudump" that will cause
ftrace to dump its buffer to the console when the function is called.
The difference between "dump" and "cpudump" is that "dump" will dump
the entire contents of the ftrace buffer, where as "cpudump" will only
dump the contents of the ftrace buffer for the CPU that called the function.
Another small enhancement is a new sysctl switch called "traceoff_on_warning"
which, when enabled, will disable tracing if any WARN_ON() is triggered.
This is useful if you want to debug what caused a warning and do not
want to risk losing your trace data by the ring buffer overwriting the
data before you can disable it. There's also a kernel command line
option that will make this enabled at boot up called the same thing.

As for new features, there were a few, but nothing to write to LWN
about. These include:
New function trigger called "dump" and "cpudump" that will cause
ftrace to dump its buffer to the console when the function is called.
The difference between "dump" and "cpudump" is that "dump" will dump
the entire contents of the ftrace buffer, where as "cpudump" will only
dump the contents of the ftrace buffer for the CPU that called the
function.
Another small enhancement is a new sysctl switch called
"traceoff_on_warning" which, when enabled, will disable tracing if any
WARN_ON() is triggered. This is useful if you want to debug what
caused a warning and do not want to risk losing your trace data by the
ring buffer overwriting the data before you can disable it. There's
also a kernel command line option that will make this enabled at boot
up called the same thing"
