7b60f3d876 ftrace: Dynamically create the probe ftrace_ops for the trace_array
In order to eventually have each trace_array instance have its own unique
set of function probes (triggers), the trace array needs to hold the ops and
the filters for the probes.

This is the first step to accomplish this. Instead of having the private
data of the probe ops point to the trace_array, create a separate list that
the trace_array holds. There's only one private_data for a probe, we need
one per trace_array. The probe ftrace_ops will be dynamically created for
each instance, instead of being static.

b5f081b563 tracing: Pass the trace_array into ftrace_probe_ops functions
Pass the trace_array associated to a ftrace_probe_ops into the probe_ops
func(), init() and free() functions. The trace_array is the descriptor that
describes a tracing instance. This will help create the infrastructure that
will allow having function probes unique to tracing instances.

04ec7bb642 tracing: Have the trace_array hold the list of registered func probes
Add a link list to the trace_array to hold func probes that are registered.
Currently, all function probes are the same for all instances as it was
before, that is, only the top level trace_array holds the function probes.
But this lays the ground work to have function probes be attached to
individual instances, and having the event trigger only affect events in the
given instance. But that work is still to be done.

eee8ded131 ftrace: Have the function probes call their own function
Now that the function probes have their own ftrace_ops, there's no reason to
continue using the ftrace_func_hash to find which probe to call in the
function callback. The ops that is passed in to the function callback is
part of the probe_ops to call.

1a48df0041 ftrace: Remove data field from ftrace_func_probe structure
No users of the function probes uses the data field anymore. Remove it, and
change the init function to take a void *data parameter instead of a
void **data, because the init will just get the data that the registering
function was received, and there's no state after it is called.

The other functions for ftrace_probe_ops still take the data parameter, but
it will currently only be passed NULL. It will stay as a parameter for
future data to be passed to these functions.

41794f1907 ftrace: Added ftrace_func_mapper for function probe triggers
In order to move the ops to the function probes directly, they need a way to
map function ips to their own data without depending on the infrastructure
of the function probes, as the data field will be going away.

New helper functions are added that are based on the ftrace_hash code.
ftrace_func_mapper functions are there to let the probes map ips to their
data. These can be allocated by the probe ops, and referenced in the
function callbacks.

1a41442864 tracing/fgraph: Have wakeup and irqsoff tracers ignore graph functions too
Currently both the wakeup and irqsoff traces do not handle set_graph_notrace
well. The ftrace infrastructure will ignore the return paths of all
functions leaving them hanging without an end:

  # echo '*spin*' > set_graph_notrace
  # cat trace
  [...]
          _raw_spin_lock() {
            preempt_count_add() {
            do_raw_spin_lock() {
          update_rq_clock();

Where the '*spin*' functions should have looked like this:

          _raw_spin_lock() {
            preempt_count_add();
            do_raw_spin_lock();
          }
          update_rq_clock();

Instead, have the wakeup and irqsoff tracers ignore the functions that are
set by the set_graph_notrace like the function_graph tracer does. Move
the logic in the function_graph tracer into a header to allow wakeup and
irqsoff tracers to use it as well.

was to avoid the stack tracing that trace_buffer_unlock_commit() could do.

e7c15cd8a1 tracing: Added hardware latency tracer
The hardware latency tracer has been in the PREEMPT_RT patch for some time.
It is used to detect possible SMIs or any other hardware interruptions that
the kernel is unaware of. Note, NMIs may also be detected, but that may be
good to note as well.

The logic is pretty simple. It simply creates a thread that spins on a
single CPU for a specified amount of time (width) within a periodic window
(window). These numbers may be adjusted by their cooresponding names in

   /sys/kernel/tracing/hwlat_detector/

The defaults are window = 1000000 us (1 second)
                 width  =  500000 us (1/2 second)

The loop consists of:

	t1 = trace_clock_local();
	t2 = trace_clock_local();

Where trace_clock_local() is a variant of sched_clock().

The difference of t2 - t1 is recorded as the "inner" timestamp and also the
timestamp  t1 - prev_t2 is recorded as the "outer" timestamp. If either of
these differences are greater than the time denoted in
/sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_thresh then it records the event.

When this tracer is started, and tracing_thresh is zero, it changes to the
default threshold of 10 us.

The hwlat tracer in the PREEMPT_RT patch was originally written by
Jon Masters. I have modified it quite a bit and turned it into a
tracer.

Currently ftrace_graph_ent{,_entry} and ftrace_graph_ret{,_entry} struct

As these data are recorded so frequently, those paddings waste

for each architecture, just to remove the extra padding using 'packed'
attribute.

  ftrace_graph_ent_entry:  24 -> 20
  ftrace_graph_ret_entry:  48 -> 44

Also I moved the 'overrun' field in struct ftrace_graph_ret to minimize
the padding in the middle.

501c237525 ftrace: Move toplevel init out of ftrace_init_tracefs()
Commit 345ddcc882 ("ftrace: Have set_ftrace_pid use the bitmap like events

the top level updating with an if conditional, as the top level only gets
updated at boot up. Unfortunately, this triggers section mismatch errors as
the init functions are called from a function that can be called later, and
the section mismatch logic is unaware of the if conditional that would
prevent it from happening at run time.

To make everyone happy, create a separate ftrace_init_tracefs_toplevel()
routine that only gets called by init functions, and this will be what calls
other init functions for the toplevel directory.

0fc1b09ff1 tracing: Use temp buffer when filtering events
Filtering of events requires the data to be written to the ring buffer
before it can be decided to filter or not. This is because the parameters of
the filter are based on the result that is written to the ring buffer and
not on the parameters that are passed into the trace functions.

The ftrace ring buffer is optimized for writing into the ring buffer and
committing. The discard procedure used when filtering decides the event
should be discarded is much more heavy weight. Thus, using a temporary
filter when filtering events can speed things up drastically.

Without a temp buffer we have:

 # trace-cmd start -p nop
 # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
       0.790706626 seconds time elapsed ( +-  0.71% )

 # trace-cmd start -e all
 # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
       1.566904059 seconds time elapsed ( +-  0.27% )

 # trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count==20'
 # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
       1.690598511 seconds time elapsed ( +-  0.19% )

 # trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count!=20'
 # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
       1.707486364 seconds time elapsed ( +-  0.30% )

The first run above is without any tracing, just to get a based figure.
hackbench takes ~0.79 seconds to run on the system.

The second run enables tracing all events where nothing is filtered. This
increases the time by 100% and hackbench takes 1.57 seconds to run.

The third run filters all events where the preempt count will equal "20"
(this should never happen) thus all events are discarded. This takes 1.69
seconds to run. This is 10% slower than just committing the events!

The last run enables all events and filters where the filter will commit all
events, and this takes 1.70 seconds to run. The filtering overhead is
approximately 10%. Thus, the discard and commit of an event from the ring
buffer may be about the same time.

With this patch, the numbers change:

 # trace-cmd start -p nop
 # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
       0.778233033 seconds time elapsed ( +-  0.38% )

 # trace-cmd start -e all
 # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
       1.582102692 seconds time elapsed ( +-  0.28% )

 # trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count==20'
 # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
       1.309230710 seconds time elapsed ( +-  0.22% )

 # trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count!=20'
 # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
       1.786001924 seconds time elapsed ( +-  0.20% )

The first run is again the base with no tracing.

The second run is all tracing with no filtering. It is a little slower, but
that may be well within the noise.

The third run shows that discarding all events only took 1.3 seconds. This
is a speed up of 23%! The discard is much faster than even the commit.

The one downside is shown in the last run. Events that are not discarded by
the filter will take longer to add, this is due to the extra copy of the
event.

The function filter_check_discard() is small and only called by one user,
its code can be folded into that one caller and make the code a bit less

db1388b4ff tracing: Add support for named triggers
Named triggers are sets of triggers that share a common set of trigger
data.  An example of functionality that could benefit from this type
of capability would be a set of inlined probes that would each
contribute event counts, for example, to a shared counter data
structure.

The first named trigger registered with a given name owns the common
trigger data that the others subsequently registered with the same
name will reference.  The functions defined here allow users to add,
delete, and find named triggers.

It also adds functions to pause and unpause named triggers; since
named triggers act upon common data, they should also be paused and
unpaused as a group.

d0bad49bb0 tracing: Add enable_hist/disable_hist triggers
Similar to enable_event/disable_event triggers, these triggers enable
and disable the aggregation of events into maps rather than enabling
and disabling their writing into the trace buffer.

They can be used to automatically start and stop hist triggers based
on a matching filter condition.

If there's a paused hist trigger on system:event, the following would
start it when the filter condition was hit:

  # echo enable_hist:system:event [ if filter] > event/trigger

And the following would disable a running system:event hist trigger:

  # echo disable_hist:system:event [ if filter] > event/trigger

See Documentation/trace/events.txt for real examples.

7ef224d1d0 tracing: Add 'hist' event trigger command
'hist' triggers allow users to continually aggregate trace events,
which can then be viewed afterwards by simply reading a 'hist' file
containing the aggregation in a human-readable format.

The basic idea is very simple and boils down to a mechanism whereby
trace events, rather than being exhaustively dumped in raw form and
viewed directly, are automatically 'compressed' into meaningful tables
completely defined by the user.

This is done strictly via single-line command-line commands and
without the aid of any kind of programming language or interpreter.

A surprising number of typical use cases can be accomplished by users
via this simple mechanism.  In fact, a large number of the tasks that
users typically do using the more complicated script-based tracing
tools, at least during the initial stages of an investigation, can be
accomplished by simply specifying a set of keys and values to be used
in the creation of a hash table.

The Linux kernel trace event subsystem happens to provide an extensive
list of keys and values ready-made for such a purpose in the form of
the event format files associated with each trace event.  By simply
consulting the format file for field names of interest and by plugging
them into the hist trigger command, users can create an endless number
of useful aggregations to help with investigating various properties
of the system.  See Documentation/trace/events.txt for examples.

hist triggers are implemented on top of the existing event trigger
infrastructure, and as such are consistent with the existing triggers
from a user's perspective as well.

The basic syntax follows the existing trigger syntax.  Users start an
aggregation by writing a 'hist' trigger to the event of interest's
trigger file:

  # echo hist:keys=xxx [ if filter] > event/trigger

Once a hist trigger has been set up, by default it continually
aggregates every matching event into a hash table using the event key
and a value field named 'hitcount'.

To view the aggregation at any point in time, simply read the 'hist'
file in the same directory as the 'trigger' file:

  # cat event/hist

The detailed syntax provides additional options for user control, and
is described exhaustively in Documentation/trace/events.txt and in the
virtual tracing/README file in the tracing subsystem.

c37775d578 tracing: Add infrastructure to allow set_event_pid to follow children
Add the infrastructure needed to have the PIDs in set_event_pid to
automatically add PIDs of the children of the tasks that have their PIDs in
set_event_pid. This will also remove PIDs from set_event_pid when a task
exits

This is implemented by adding hooks into the fork and exit tracepoints. On
fork, the PIDs are added to the list, and on exit, they are removed.

Add a new option called event_fork that when set, PIDs in set_event_pid will
automatically get their children PIDs added when they fork, as well as any
task that exits will have its PID removed from set_event_pid.

This works for instances as well.

f4d34a87e9 tracing: Use pid bitmap instead of a pid array for set_event_pid
In order to add the ability to let tasks that are filtered by the events
have their children also be traced on fork (and then not traced on exit),
convert the array into a pid bitmask. Most of the time the number of pids is
only 32768 pids or a 4k bitmask, which is the same size as the default list
currently is, and that list could grow if more pids are listed.

This also greatly simplifies the code.

a5863dae84 tracing: Add needs_rec flag to event triggers
Add a new needs_rec flag for triggers that require unconditional
access to trace records in order to function.

Normally a trigger requires access to the contents of a trace record
only if it has a filter associated with it (since filters need the
contents of a record in order to make a filtering decision).  Some
types of triggers, such as 'hist' triggers, require access to trace
record contents independent of the presence of filters, so add a new
flag for those triggers.
