As there's two struct ring_buffers in the kernel, it causes some confusion.
The other one being the perf ring buffer. It was agreed upon that as neither
of the ring buffers are generic enough to be used globally, they should be
renamed as:
perf's ring_buffer -> perf_buffer
ftrace's ring_buffer -> trace_buffer
This implements the changes to the ring buffer that ftrace uses.

As we are working to remove the generic "ring_buffer" name that is used by
both tracing and perf, the ring_buffer name for tracing will be renamed to
trace_buffer, and perf's ring buffer will be renamed to perf_buffer.
As there already exists a trace_buffer that is used by the trace_arrays, it
needs to be first renamed to array_buffer.

If lockdown is disabling tracing on boot up, it prevents the tracing files
from even bering created. But when that happens, there's several places that
will give a warning that the files were not created as that is usually a
sign of a bug.
Add in strategic locations where a check is made to see if tracing is
disabled by lockdown, and if it is, do not go further, and fail silently
(but print that tracing is disabled by lockdown, without doing a WARN_ON()).

This patch implements the feature that the tracing_max_latency file,
e.g. /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_max_latency will receive
notifications through the fsnotify framework when a new latency is
available.
One particularly interesting use of this facility is when enabling
threshold tracing, through /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_thresh,
together with the preempt/irqsoff tracers. This makes it possible to
implement a user space program that can, with equal probability,
obtain traces of latencies that occur immediately after each other in
spite of the fact that the preempt/irqsoff tracers operate in overwrite
mode.
This facility works with the hwlat, preempt/irqsoff, and wakeup
tracers.
The tracers may call the latency_fsnotify() from places such as
__schedule() or do_idle(); this makes it impossible to call
queue_work() directly without risking a deadlock. The same would
happen with a softirq, kernel thread or tasklet. For this reason we
use the irq_work mechanism to call queue_work().
This patch creates a new workqueue. The reason for doing this is that
I wanted to use the WQ_UNBOUND and WQ_HIGHPRI flags. My thinking was
that WQ_UNBOUND might help with the latency in some important cases.
If we use:
queue_work(system_highpri_wq, &tr->fsnotify_work);
then the work will (almost) always execute on the same CPU but if we are
unlucky that CPU could be too busy while there could be another CPU in
the system that would be able to process the work soon enough.
queue_work_on() could be used to queue the work on another CPU but it
seems difficult to select the right CPU.

It caught the process in the middle of trace_access_unlock(). There is
no loop. So, it must be looping in the caller tracing_read_pipe()
via the "waitagain" label.
Crashdump analyze uncovered that iter->seq was completely zeroed
at this point, including iter->seq.seq.size. It means that
print_trace_line() was never able to print anything and
there was no forward progress.
The culprit seems to be in the code:
/* reset all but tr, trace, and overruns */
memset(&iter->seq, 0,
sizeof(struct trace_iterator) -
offsetof(struct trace_iterator, seq));
It was added by the commit 53d0aa7730 ("ftrace:
add logic to record overruns"). It was v2.6.27-rc1.
It was the time when iter->seq looked like:
struct trace_seq {
unsigned char buffer[PAGE_SIZE];
unsigned int len;
};
There was no "size" variable and zeroing was perfectly fine.
The solution is to reinitialize the structure after or without
zeroing.

Added various checks on open tracefs calls to see if tracefs is in lockdown
mode, and if so, to return -EPERM.
Note, the event format files (which are basically standard on all machines)
as well as the enabled_functions file (which shows what is currently being
traced) are not lockde down. Perhaps they should be, but it seems counter
intuitive to lockdown information to help you know if the system has been
modified.

Currently, most files in the tracefs directory test if tracing_disabled is
set. If so, it should return -ENODEV. The tracing_disabled is called when
tracing is found to be broken. Originally it was done in case the ring
buffer was found to be corrupted, and we wanted to prevent reading it from
crashing the kernel. But it's also called if a tracing selftest fails on
boot. It's a one way switch. That is, once it is triggered, tracing is
disabled until reboot.
As most tracefs files can also be used by instances in the tracefs
directory, they need to be carefully done. Each instance has a trace_array
associated to it, and when the instance is removed, the trace_array is
freed. But if an instance is opened with a reference to the trace_array,
then it requires looking up the trace_array to get its ref counter (as there
could be a race with it being deleted and the open itself). Once it is
found, a reference is added to prevent the instance from being removed (and
the trace_array associated with it freed).
Combine the two checks (tracing_disabled and trace_array_get()) into a
single helper function. This will also make it easier to add lockdown to
tracefs later.

Instead of having the trace events system open call open code the taking of

As instances may have different tracers available, we need to look at the
trace_array descriptor that shows the list of the available tracers for the
instance. But there's a race between opening the file and an admin
deleting the instance. The trace_array_get() needs to be called before
accessing the trace_array.

Add immediate string parameter (\"string") support to

This feature looks odd, but imagine that you put a probe
on a code to trace some string data. If the code is
compiled into 2 instructions and 1 instruction has a
string on memory but other has no string since it is
optimized out. In that case, you can not fold those into
one event, even if ftrace supported multiple probes on
one event. With this feature, you can set a dummy string
like foo=\"(optimized)":string instead of something
like foo=+0(+0(%bp)):string.

The rcu_dereference_raw_notrace() API name is confusing. It is equivalent
to rcu_dereference_raw() except that it also does sparse pointer checking.
There are only a few users of rcu_dereference_raw_notrace(). This patches
renames all of them to be rcu_dereference_raw_check() with the "_check()"
indicating sparse checking.

Here is the "big" driver core and debugfs changes for 5.3-rc1
It's a lot of different patches, all across the tree due to some api
changes and lots of debugfs cleanups. Because of this, there is going
to be some merge issues with your tree at the moment, I'll follow up
with the expected resolutions to make it easier for you.
Other than the debugfs cleanups, in this set of changes we have:
- bus iteration function cleanups (will cause build warnings
with s390 and coresight drivers in your tree)
- scripts/get_abi.pl tool to display and parse Documentation/ABI
entries in a simple way
- cleanups to Documenatation/ABI/ entries to make them parse
easier due to typos and other minor things
- default_attrs use for some ktype users
- driver model documentation file conversions to .rst
- compressed firmware file loading
- deferred probe fixes
All of these have been in linux-next for a while, with a bunch of merge
issues that Stephen has been patient with me for. Other than the merge
issues, functionality is working properly in linux-next :)

Support user-space dereference syntax for probe event arguments
to dereference the data-structure or array in user-space.
The syntax is just adding 'u' before an offset value.
+|-u<OFFSET>(<FETCHARG>)
e.g. +u8(%ax), +u0(+0(%si))
For example, if you probe do_sched_setscheduler(pid, policy,
param) and record param->sched_priority, you can add new
probe as below;
p do_sched_setscheduler priority=+u0($arg3)
Note that kprobe event provides this and it doesn't change the
dereference method automatically because we do not know whether
the given address is in userspace or kernel on some archs.
So as same as "ustring", this is an option for user, who has to
carefully choose the dereference method.

Add "ustring" type for fetching user-space string from kprobe event.
User can specify ustring type at uprobe event, and it is same as
"string" for uprobe.
Note that probe-event provides this option but it doesn't choose the
correct type automatically since we have not way to decide the address
is in user-space or not on some arch (and on some other arch, you can
fetch the string by "string" type). So user must carefully check the
target code (e.g. if you see __user on the target variable) and
use this new type.

Starting with GCC 9, -Warray-bounds detects cases when memset is called
starting on a member of a struct but the size to be cleared ends up
writing over further members.
Such a call happens in the trace code to clear, at once, all members
after and including `seq` on struct trace_iterator:
In function 'memset',
inlined from 'ftrace_dump' at kernel/trace/trace.c:8914:3:
./include/linux/string.h:344:9: warning: '__builtin_memset' offset
[8505, 8560] from the object at 'iter' is out of the bounds of
referenced subobject 'seq' with type 'struct trace_seq' at offset
4368 [-Warray-bounds]
344 | return __builtin_memset(p, c, size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In order to avoid GCC complaining about it, we compute the address
ourselves by adding the offsetof distance instead of referring
directly to the member.
Since there are two places doing this clear (trace.c and trace_kdb.c),
take the chance to move the workaround into a single place in
the internal header.

CONFIG_FTRACE_STARTUP_TEST gets enabled and that takes time so the

Depending on what the what test gets called from init_trace_selftests()
it stays minutes in the loop.

Automatic const char[] variables cause unnecessary code
generation. For example, the this_mod variable leads to
3f04: 48 b8 5f 5f 74 68 69 73 5f 6d movabs $0x6d5f736968745f5f,%rax # __this_m
3f0e: 4c 8d 44 24 02 lea 0x2(%rsp),%r8
3f13: 48 8d 7c 24 10 lea 0x10(%rsp),%rdi
3f18: 48 89 44 24 02 mov %rax,0x2(%rsp)
3f1d: 4c 89 e9 mov %r13,%rcx
3f20: b8 65 00 00 00 mov $0x65,%eax # e
3f25: 48 c7 c2 00 00 00 00 mov $0x0,%rdx
3f28: R_X86_64_32S .rodata.str1.1+0x18d
3f2c: be 48 00 00 00 mov $0x48,%esi
3f31: c7 44 24 0a 6f 64 75 6c movl $0x6c75646f,0xa(%rsp) # odul
3f39: 66 89 44 24 0e mov %ax,0xe(%rsp)
i.e., the string gets built on the stack at runtime. Similar code can be
found for the other instances I'm replacing here. Putting the string
in .rodata reduces the combined .text+.rodata size and saves time and
stack space at runtime.
The simplest fix, and what I've done for the this_mod case, is to just
make the variable static.
However, for the "<faulted>" case where the same string is used twice,
that prevents the linker from merging those two literals, so instead use
a macro - that also keeps the two instances automatically in
sync (instead of only the compile-time strlen expression).
Finally, for the two runs of spaces, it turns out that the "build
these strings on the stack" is not the worst part of what gcc does -
it turns print_func_help_header_irq() into "if (tgid) { /*
print_event_info + five seq_printf calls */ } else { /* print
event_info + another five seq_printf */}". Taking inspiration from a
suggestion from Al Viro, use %.*s to make snprintf either stop after
the first two spaces or print the whole string. As a bonus, the
seq_printfs now fit on single lines (at least, they are not longer
than the existing ones in the function just above), making it easier
to see that the ascii art lines up.

Pull stack trace updates from Ingo Molnar:
"So Thomas looked at the stacktrace code recently and noticed a few
weirdnesses, and we all know how such stories of crummy kernel code
meeting German engineering perfection end: a 45-patch series to clean
it all up! :-)
Here's the changes in Thomas's words:
'Struct stack_trace is a sinkhole for input and output parameters
which is largely pointless for most usage sites. In fact if embedded
into other data structures it creates indirections and extra storage
overhead for no benefit.
Looking at all usage sites makes it clear that they just require an
interface which is based on a storage array. That array is either on
stack, global or embedded into some other data structure.
Some of the stack depot usage sites are outright wrong, but
fortunately the wrongness just causes more stack being used for
nothing and does not have functional impact.
Another oddity is the inconsistent termination of the stack trace
with ULONG_MAX. It's pointless as the number of entries is what
determines the length of the stored trace. In fact quite some call
sites remove the ULONG_MAX marker afterwards with or without nasty
comments about it. Not all architectures do that and those which do,
do it inconsistenly either conditional on nr_entries == 0 or
unconditionally.
The following series cleans that up by:
1) Removing the ULONG_MAX termination in the architecture code
2) Removing the ULONG_MAX fixups at the call sites
3) Providing plain storage array based interfaces for stacktrace
and stackdepot.
4) Cleaning up the mess at the callsites including some related
cleanups.
5) Removing the struct stack_trace based interfaces
This is not changing the struct stack_trace interfaces at the
architecture level, but it removes the exposure to the generic
code'"

The per cpu stack trace buffer usage pattern is odd at best. The buffer has
place for 512 stack trace entries on 64-bit and 1024 on 32-bit. When
interrupts or exceptions nest after the per cpu buffer was acquired the
stacktrace length is hardcoded to 8 entries. 512/1024 stack trace entries
in kernel stacks are unrealistic so the buffer is a complete waste.
Split the buffer into 4 nest levels, which are 128/256 entries per
level. This allows nesting contexts (interrupts, exceptions) to utilize the
cpu buffer for stack retrieval and avoids the fixed length allocation along
with the conditional execution pathes.

trace: Fix preempt_enable_no_resched() abuse
tracing: Fix a memory leak by early error exit in trace_pid_write()
tracing: Fix buffer_ref pipe ops
In trace_pid_write(), the buffer for trace parser is allocated through
kmalloc() in trace_parser_get_init(). Later on, after the buffer is used,
it is then freed through kfree() in trace_parser_put(). However, it is
possible that trace_pid_write() is terminated due to unexpected errors,
e.g., ENOMEM. In that case, the allocated buffer will not be freed, which
is a memory leak bug.
To fix this issue, free the allocated buffer when an error is encountered.

This fixes multiple issues in buffer_pipe_buf_ops:
- The ->steal() handler must not return zero unless the pipe buffer has
the only reference to the page. But generic_pipe_buf_steal() assumes
that every reference to the pipe is tracked by the page's refcount,
which isn't true for these buffers - buffer_pipe_buf_get(), which
duplicates a buffer, doesn't touch the page's refcount.
Fix it by using generic_pipe_buf_nosteal(), which refuses every
attempted theft. It should be easy to actually support ->steal, but the
only current users of pipe_buf_steal() are the virtio console and FUSE,
and they also only use it as an optimization. So it's probably not worth
the effort.
- The ->get() and ->release() handlers can be invoked concurrently on pipe
buffers backed by the same struct buffer_ref. Make them safe against
concurrency by using refcount_t.
- The pointers stored in ->private were only zeroed out when the last
reference to the buffer_ref was dropped. As far as I know, this
shouldn't be necessary anyway, but if we do it, let's always do it.

Merge page ref overflow branch.
Jann Horn reported that he can overflow the page ref count with
sufficient memory (and a filesystem that is intentionally extremely
slow).
Admittedly it's not exactly easy. To have more than four billion
references to a page requires a minimum of 32GB of kernel memory just
for the pointers to the pages, much less any metadata to keep track of
those pointers. Jann needed a total of 140GB of memory and a specially
crafted filesystem that leaves all reads pending (in order to not ever
free the page references and just keep adding more).
Still, we have a fairly straightforward way to limit the two obvious
user-controllable sources of page references: direct-IO like page
references gotten through get_user_pages(), and the splice pipe page
duplication. So let's just do that.
* branch page-refs:
fs: prevent page refcount overflow in pipe_buf_get
mm: prevent get_user_pages() from overflowing page refcount
mm: add 'try_get_page()' helper function
mm: make page ref count overflow check tighter and more explicit
Change pipe_buf_get() to return a bool indicating whether it succeeded
in raising the refcount of the page (if the thing in the pipe is a page).
This removes another mechanism for overflowing the page refcount. All
callers converted to handle a failure.

As each instance has their own error_log file, it makes more sense that the
instances show the errors of their own instead of all error_logs having the
same data. Make it that the errors show up in the instance error_log file
that the error happens in. If no instance trace_array is available, then
NULL can be passed in which will create the error in the top level instance
(the one at the top of the tracefs directory).

Introduce a new ftrace file, tracing/error_log, for ftrace commands to
log errors. This is useful for allowing more complex commands such as
hist trigger and kprobe_event commands to point out specifically where
something may have gone wrong without forcing them to resort to more
ad hoc methods such as tacking error messages onto existing output
files.
To log a tracing error, call the event_log_err() function, passing it
a location string describing where it came from e.g. kprobe_events or
system:event, the command that caused the error, an array of static
error strings describing errors and an index within that array which
describes the specific error, along with the position to place the
error caret.
Reading the log displays the last (currently) 8 errors logged in the
following format:
[timestamp] <loc>: error: <static error text>
Command: <command that caused the error>
^
Memory for the error log isn't allocated unless there has been a trace
event error, and the error log can be cleared and have its memory
freed by writing the empty string in truncation mode to it:
# echo > tracing/error_log.

Ftrace provides the feature “instances” that provides the capability to
create multiple Ftrace ring buffers. However, currently these buffers
are created/accessed via userspace only. The kernel APIs providing these
features are not exported, hence cannot be used by other kernel
components.
This patch aims to extend this infrastructure to provide the
flexibility to create/log/remove/ enable-disable existing trace events
to these buffers from within the kernel.

"This contains a series of last minute clean ups, small fixes and error
checks"

tracing: kdb: Fix ftdump to not sleep
trace/probes: Remove kernel doc style from non kernel doc comment
tracing/probes: Make reserved_field_names static
As reported back in 2016-11 [1], the "ftdump" kdb command triggers a
BUG for "sleeping function called from invalid context".
kdb's "ftdump" command wants to call ring_buffer_read_prepare() in
atomic context. A very simple solution for this is to add allocation
flags to ring_buffer_read_prepare() so kdb can call it without
triggering the allocation error. This patch does that.
Note that in the original email thread about this, it was suggested
that perhaps the solution for kdb was to either preallocate the buffer
ahead of time or create our own iterator. I'm hoping that this
alternative of adding allocation flags to ring_buffer_read_prepare()
can be considered since it means I don't need to duplicate more of the
core trace code into "trace_kdb.c" (for either creating my own
iterator or re-preparing a ring allocator whose memory was already
allocated).
NOTE: another option for kdb is to actually figure out how to make it
reuse the existing ftrace_dump() function and totally eliminate the
duplication. This sounds very appealing and actually works (the "sr
z" command can be seen to properly dump the ftrace buffer). The
downside here is that ftrace_dump() fully consumes the trace buffer.
Unless that is changed I'd rather not use it because it means "ftdump
| grep xyz" won't be very useful to search the ftrace buffer since it
will throw away the whole trace on the first grep. A future patch to
dump only the last few lines of the buffer will also be hard to
implement.

Before setting tr->cond_snapshot, it must be NULL before it can be updated.
It can go to NULL when a trace event hist trigger is created or removed, and
can only be modified under the max_lock spin lock. But because it can only
be set to something other than NULL under both the max_lock spin lock as
well as the trace_types_lock, we can perform the check if it is not NULL
only under the trace_types_lock and fail out without having to grab the
max_lock spin lock.
This is very subtle, and deserves a comment.

Add a 'trace(synthetic_event_name, params)' alternative to
synthetic_event_name(params).
Currently, the syntax used for generating synthetic events is to
invoke synthetic_event_name(params) i.e. use the synthetic event name
as a function call.
Users requested a new form that more explicitly shows that the
synthetic event is in effect being traced. In this version, a new
'trace()' keyword is used, and the synthetic event name is passed in
as the first argument.
In addition, for the sake of consistency with other actions, change
the documention to emphasize the trace() form over the function-call
form, which remains documented as equivalent.

Add support for hist:handlerXXX($var).snapshot(), which will take a
snapshot of the current trace buffer whenever handlerXXX is hit.
As a first user, this also adds snapshot() action support for the
onmax() handler i.e. hist:onmax($var).snapshot().
Also, the hist trigger key printing is moved into a separate function
so the snapshot() action can print a histogram key outside the
histogram display - add and use hist_trigger_print_key() for that
purpose.

Currently, tracing snapshots are context-free - they capture the ring
buffer contents at the time the tracing_snapshot() function was
invoked, and nothing else. Additionally, they're always taken
unconditionally - the calling code can decide whether or not to take a
snapshot, but the data used to make that decision is kept separately
from the snapshot itself.
This change adds the ability to associate with each trace instance
some user data, along with an 'update' function that can use that data
to determine whether or not to actually take a snapshot. The update
function can then update that data along with any other state (as part
of the data presumably), if warranted.
Because snapshots are 'global' per-instance, only one user can enable
and use a conditional snapshot for any given trace instance. To
enable a conditional snapshot (see details in the function and data
structure comments), the user calls tracing_snapshot_cond_enable().
Similarly, to disable a conditional snapshot and free it up for other
users, tracing_snapshot_cond_disable() should be called.
To actually initiate a conditional snapshot, tracing_snapshot_cond()
should be called. tracing_snapshot_cond() will invoke the update()
callback, allowing the user to decide whether or not to actually take
the snapshot and update the user-defined data associated with the
snapshot. If the callback returns 'true', tracing_snapshot_cond()
will then actually take the snapshot and return.
This scheme allows for flexibility in snapshot implementations - for
example, by implementing slightly different update() callbacks,
snapshots can be taken in situations where the user is only interested
in taking a snapshot when a new maximum in hit versus when a value
changes in any way at all. Future patches will demonstrate both
cases.

Currently, the onmatch action data binds the onmatch action to data
related to synthetic event generation. Since we want to allow the
onmatch handler to potentially invoke a different action, and because
we expect other handlers to generate synthetic events, we need to
separate the data related to these two functions.
Also rename the onmatch data to something more descriptive, and create

There's an error path that can call kfree(iter->trace) after the iter->trace

constant length is used to index into the string. This is error prone as the
hard coded numbers have to match the size of the constants. Instead, use the
len returned from str_has_prefix() and remove the open coded string length
sizes.

There are several instances of strncmp(str, "const", 123), where 123 is the
strlen of the const string to check if "const" is the prefix of str. But
this can be error prone. Use str_has_prefix() instead.

Use dyn_event framework for synthetic events. This shows
synthetic events on "tracing/dynamic_events" file in addition
to tracing/synthetic_events interface.
User can also define new events via tracing/dynamic_events
with "s:" prefix. So, the new syntax is below;
s:[synthetic/]EVENT_NAME TYPE ARG; [TYPE ARG;]...
To remove events via tracing/dynamic_events, you can use
"-:" prefix as same as other events.

After running several tests, it appears that having the reader wait till
half the buffer is full before starting to read (and causing its own events
to fill up the ring buffer constantly), works well. It keeps trace-cmd (the

Instead of just waiting for a page to be full before waking up a pending
reader, allow the reader to pass in a "percentage" of pages that have
content before waking up a reader. This should help keep the process of

Add array type support for probe events.
This allows user to get arraied types from memory address.
The array type syntax is
TYPE[N]
Where TYPE is one of types (u8/16/32/64,s8/16/32/64,
x8/16/32/64, symbol, string) and N is a fixed value less
than 64.
The string array type is a bit different from other types. For
other base types, <base-type>[1] is equal to <base-type>
(e.g. +0(%di):x32[1] is same as +0(%di):x32.) But string[1] is not
equal to string. The string type itself represents "char array",
but string array type represents "char * array". So, for example,
+0(%di):string[1] is equal to +0(+0(%di)):string.

Userspace Statically Defined Tracepoints[1] are dtrace style markers
inside userspace applications. Applications like PostgreSQL, MySQL,
Pthread, Perl, Python, Java, Ruby, Node.js, libvirt, QEMU, glib etc
have these markers embedded in them. These markers are added by developer
at important places in the code. Each marker source expands to a single
nop instruction in the compiled code but there may be additional
overhead for computing the marker arguments which expands to couple of
instructions. In case the overhead is more, execution of it can be
omitted by runtime if() condition when no one is tracing on the marker:
if (reference_counter > 0) {
Execute marker instructions;
}
Default value of reference counter is 0. Tracer has to increment the
reference counter before tracing on a marker and decrement it when
done with the tracing.
Implement the reference counter logic in core uprobe. User will be
able to use it from trace_uprobe as well as from kernel module. New
trace_uprobe definition with reference counter will now be:
<path>:<offset>[(ref_ctr_offset)]
where ref_ctr_offset is an optional field. For kernel module, new
variant of uprobe_register() has been introduced:
uprobe_register_refctr(inode, offset, ref_ctr_offset, consumer)
No new variant for uprobe_unregister() because it's assumed to have
only one reference counter for one uprobe.
[1] https://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/UserSpaceProbeImplementation
Note: 'reference counter' is called as 'semaphore' in original Dtrace
(or Systemtap, bcc and even in ELF) documentation and code. But the
term 'semaphore' is misleading in this context. This is just a counter
used to hold number of tracers tracing on a marker. This is not really
used for any synchronization. So we are calling it a 'reference counter'
in kernel / perf code.

- Restructure of lockdep and latency tracers
This is the biggest change. Joel Fernandes restructured the hooks
from irqs and preemption disabling and enabling. He got rid of
a lot of the preprocessor #ifdef mess that they caused.
He turned both lockdep and the latency tracers to use trace events
inserted in the preempt/irqs disabling paths. But unfortunately,
these started to cause issues in corner cases. Thus, parts of the
code was reverted back to where lockde and the latency tracers
just get called directly (without using the trace events).
But because the original change cleaned up the code very nicely
we kept that, as well as the trace events for preempt and irqs
disabling, but they are limited to not being called in NMIs.
- Have trace events use SRCU for "rcu idle" calls. This was required
for the preempt/irqs off trace events. But it also had to not
allow them to be called in NMI context. Waiting till Paul makes
an NMI safe SRCU API.
- New notrace SRCU API to allow trace events to use SRCU.
- Addition of mcount-nop option support
- SPDX headers replacing GPL templates.
- Various other fixes and clean ups.
- Some fixes are marked for stable, but were not fully tested
before the merge window opened.

Currently, when one echo's in 1 into tracing_on, the current tracer's

lead to strange side effects. One being that if the hwlat tracer is enabled,
and someone does "echo 1 > tracing_on" into tracing_on, the hwlat tracer's
start() function is called again which will recreate another kernel thread,
and make it unable to remove the old one.

Maintain the tracing on/off setting of the ring_buffer when switching
to the trace buffer snapshot.
Taking a snapshot is done by swapping the backup ring buffer
(max_tr_buffer). But since the tracing on/off setting is defined
by the ring buffer, when swapping it, the tracing on/off setting
can also be changed. This causes a strange result like below:
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on
1
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 0 > tracing_on
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on
0
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 > snapshot
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on
1
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 > snapshot
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on
0
We don't touch tracing_on, but snapshot changes tracing_on
setting each time. This is an anomaly, because user doesn't know
that each "ring_buffer" stores its own tracing-enable state and
the snapshot is done by swapping ring buffers.

From kernel v4.13 onwards, during which TGID was introduced, tracing
with systrace on all Android kernels will break (most Android kernels
have been on 4.9 with Android patches, so this issues hasn't been seen
yet). From v4.13 onwards things will break.
The chrome browser's tracing tools also embed the systrace viewer which
uses the legacy TGID format and updates to that are known to be
difficult to make.
Considering this, I suggest we make this change to the upstream kernel
and backport it to all Android kernels. I believe this feature is merged
recently enough into the upstream kernel that it shouldn't be a problem.
Also logically, IMO it makes more sense to group the TGID with the
TASK-PID and the CPU after these.

The commit 719f6a7040 ("printk: Use the main logbuf in NMI
when logbuf_lock is available") brought back the possible deadlocks
in printk() and NMI.
The check of logbuf_lock is done only in printk_nmi_enter() to prevent
mixed output. But another CPU might take the lock later, enter NMI, and:
+ Both NMIs might be serialized by yet another lock, for example,
the one in nmi_cpu_backtrace().
+ The other CPU might get stopped in NMI, see smp_send_stop()
in panic().
The only safe solution is to use trylock when storing the message
into the main log-buffer. It might cause reordering when some lines
go to the main lock buffer directly and others are delayed via
the per-CPU buffer. It means that it is not useful in general.
This patch replaces the problematic NMI deferred context with NMI
direct context. It can be used to mark a code that might produce
many messages in NMI and the risk of losing them is more critical
than problems with eventual reordering.
The context is then used when dumping trace buffers on oops. It was
the primary motivation for the original fix. Also the reordering is
even smaller issue there because some traces have their own time stamps.
Finally, nmi_cpu_backtrace() need not longer be serialized because
it will always us the per-CPU buffers again.

the same type of triggers (including histograms) that the trace events use.
Had to create a ftrace_event_register() function that will become the

triggers are enabled:
event_trigger_write() {
event_trigger_regex_write() {
trigger_process_regex() {
for p in trigger_commands {
p->func(); /* trigger_snapshot_cmd->func */
event_trigger_callback() {

trace_event_trigger_enable_disable() {
trace_event_enable_disable() {
call->class->reg();
Without the reg() function, the trigger code will call a NULL pointer and
crash the system.
