ea2c68a08f tracing: Simplify test for function_graph tracing start point
In the function graph tracer, a calling function is to be traced
only when it is enabled through the set_graph_function file,
or when it is nested in an enabled function.

Current code uses TSK_TRACE_FL_GRAPH to test whether it is nested
or not. Looking at the code, we can get this:
(trace->depth > 0) <==> (TSK_TRACE_FL_GRAPH is set)

trace->depth is more explicit to tell that it is nested.
So we use trace->depth directly and simplify the code.

No functionality is changed.
TSK_TRACE_FL_GRAPH is not removed yet, it is left for future usage.

3c05d74827 ring-buffer: Check for end of page in iterator
If the iterator comes to an empty page for some reason, or if
the page is emptied by a consuming read. The iterator code currently
does not check if the iterator is pass the contents, and may
return a false entry.

This patch adds a check to the ring buffer iterator to test if the
current page has been completely read and sets the iterator to the
next page if necessary.

492a74f421 ring-buffer: Check if ring buffer iterator has stale data
Usually reads of the ring buffer is performed by a single task.
There are two types of reads from the ring buffer.

One is a consuming read which will consume the entry that was read
and the next read will be the entry that follows.

The other is an iterator that will let the user read the contents of
the ring buffer without modifying it. When an iterator is allocated,
writes to the ring buffer are disabled to protect the iterator.

The problem exists when consuming reads happen while an iterator is
allocated. Specifically, the kind of read that swaps out an entire
page (used by splice) and replaces it with a new read. If the iterator
is on the page that is swapped out, then the next read may read
from this swapped out page and return garbage.

This patch adds a check when reading the iterator to make sure that
the iterator contents are still valid. If a consuming read has taken
place, the iterator is reset.

74bf4076f2 tracing: Prevent kernel oops with corrupted buffer
If the contents of the ftrace ring buffer gets corrupted and the trace
file is read, it could create a kernel oops (usualy just killing the user
task thread). This is caused by the checking of the pid in the buffer.
If the pid is negative, it still references the cmdline cache array,
which could point to an invalid address.

The simple fix is to test for negative PIDs.

24a53652e3 tracing: Drop the tr check from the graph tracing path
Each time we save a function entry from the function graph
tracer, we check if the trace array is set, which is wasteful
because it is set anyway before we start the tracer. All we need
is to ensure we have good read and write orderings. When we set
the trace array, we just need to guarantee it to be visible
before starting tracing.

0e1ff5d72a ring-buffer: Add rb_list_head() wrapper around new reader page next field
If the very unlikely case happens where the writer moves the head by one
between where the head page is read and where the new reader page
is assigned _and_ the writer then writes and wraps the entire ring buffer
so that the head page is back to what was originally read as the head page,
the page to be swapped will have a corrupted next pointer.

Simple solution is to wrap the assignment of the next pointer with a
rb_list_head().

5ded3dc6a3 ring-buffer: Wrap a list.next reference with rb_list_head()
This reference at the end of rb_get_reader_page() was causing off-by-one
writes to the prev pointer of the page after the reader page when that
page is the head page, and therefore the reader page has the RB_PAGE_HEAD
flag in its list.next pointer. This eventually results in a GPF in a
subsequent call to rb_set_head_page() (usually from rb_get_reader_page())
when that prev pointer is dereferenced. The dereferenced register would
characteristically have an address that appears shifted left by one byte
(eg, ffxxxxxxxxxxxxyy instead of ffffxxxxxxxxxxxx) due to being written at
an address one byte too high.

7e53bd42d1 tracing: Consolidate protection of reader access to the ring buffer
At the beginning, access to the ring buffer was fully serialized
by trace_types_lock. Patch d7350c3f45 gives more freedom to readers,
and patch b04cc6b1f6 adds code to protect trace_pipe and cpu#/trace_pipe.

But actually it is not enough, ring buffer readers are not always
read-only, they may consume data.

This patch makes accesses to trace, trace_pipe, trace_pipe_raw
cpu#/trace, cpu#/trace_pipe and cpu#/trace_pipe_raw serialized.
And removes tracing_reader_cpumask which is used to protect trace_pipe.

Details:

Ring buffer serializes readers, but it is low level protection.
The validity of the events (which returns by ring_buffer_peek() ..etc)
are not protected by ring buffer.

The content of events may become garbage if we allow another process to consume
these events concurrently:
  A) the page of the consumed events may become a normal page
     (not reader page) in ring buffer, and this page will be rewritten
     by the events producer.
  B) The page of the consumed events may become a page for splice_read,
     and this page will be returned to system.

This patch adds trace_access_lock() and trace_access_unlock() primitives.

These primitives allow multi process access to different cpu ring buffers
concurrently.

These primitives don't distinguish read-only and read-consume access.
Multi read-only access is also serialized.

And we don't use these primitives when we open files,
we only use them when we read files.

0fa0edaf32 tracing: Remove show_format and related macros from TRACE_EVENT
The previous patches added the use of print_fmt string and changes
the trace_define_field() function to also create the fields and
format output for the event format files.

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
5857201	1355780	9336808	16549789	 fc879d	vmlinux
5884589	1351684	9337896	16574169	 fce6d9	vmlinux-orig

The above shows the size of the vmlinux after this patch set
compared to the vmlinux-orig which is before the patch set.

This saves us 27k on text, 1k on bss and adds just 4k of data.

The total savings of 24k in size.

5a65e95622 tracing: Use defined fields and print_fmt to print formats
The calls ftrace_format_##call() and ftrace_define_fields_##call()
are almost duplicate in functionality. With the addition of the
print_fmt in previous patches, these two functions can be merged

The trace_define_field() defines the fields and links them into
the struct ftrace_event_call. The previous patches introduced
the print_fmt field and this can now be used with the trace_define_field()
to create the event format file fields and print_fmt field.

The struct ftrace_event_call->fields are used to print the fields
The struct ftrace_event_call->print_fmt is used to print
the "print fmt: XXXXXXXXXXX" line.

07b139c8c8 perf events: Remove CONFIG_EVENT_PROFILE
Quoted from Ingo:

| This reminds me - i think we should eliminate CONFIG_EVENT_PROFILE -
| it's an unnecessary Kconfig complication. If both PERF_EVENTS and
| EVENT_TRACING is enabled we should expose generic tracepoints.
|
| Nor is it limited to event 'profiling', so it has become a misnomer as
| well.

c757bea93b tracing: Fix setting tracer specific options
The function __set_tracer_option() takes as its last parameter a
"neg" value. If set it should negate the value of the option.

The trace_options_write() passed the value written to the file
which is what the new value needs to be set as. But since this
is not the negative, it never sets the value.

61c1917f47 perf events, x86/stacktrace: Make stack walking optional
The current print_context_stack helper that does the stack
walking job is good for usual stacktraces as it walks through
all the stack and reports even addresses that look unreliable,
which is nice when we don't have frame pointers for example.

But we have users like perf that only require reliable
stacktraces, and those may want a more adapted stack walker, so
lets make this function a callback in stacktrace_ops that users
can tune for their needs.

Check new event/group name is same syntax as a C symbol. In other
words, checking the name is as like as other tracepoint events.

This can prevent user to create an event with useless name (e.g.
foo|bar, foo*bar).

Use a generic trace_event_raw_init() function for all event's raw_init

of these.
This shrinks the kernel code:

raw_init can't be removed, because ftrace events and kprobe events
use different raw_init callbacks. Though it's possible to totally
remove raw_init, I choose to leave it as it is for now.

cc51a0fca6 tracing: Add stack trace to irqsoff tracer
The irqsoff and friends tracers help in finding causes of latency in the
kernel. The also work with the function tracer to show what was happening
when interrupts or preemption are disabled. But the function tracer has
a bit of an overhead and can cause exagerated readings.

Currently, when tracing with /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled = 0, where the
function tracer is disabled, the information that is provided can end up
being useless. For example, a 2 and a half millisecond latency only showed:

 # tracer: preemptirqsoff
 #
 # preemptirqsoff latency trace v1.1.5 on 2.6.32
 # --------------------------------------------------------------------
 # latency: 2463 us, #4/4, CPU#2 | (M:preempt VP:0, KP:0, SP:0 HP:0 #P:4)

 hackbenc-4242    2...1. 2466us : trace_preempt_on <-remove_wait_queue

The above lets us know that hackbench with pid 2463 grabbed a spin lock
somewhere and enabled preemption at remove_wait_queue. This helps a little
but where this actually happened is not informative.

This patch adds the stack dump to the end of the irqsoff tracer. This provides
the following output:

 hackbenc-4242    2d....    0us!: trace_hardirqs_off <-_spin_lock_irqsave
 hackbenc-4242    2...1. 2463us+: _spin_unlock_irqrestore <-remove_wait_queue
 hackbenc-4242    2...1. 2466us : trace_preempt_on <-remove_wait_queue

  => _spin_unlock_irqrestore
  => remove_wait_queue
  => free_poll_entry
  => poll_freewait
  => do_sys_poll
  => sys_poll
  => system_call_fastpath

Now we see that the culprit of this latency was the free_poll_entry code.

03889384ce tracing: Add trace_dump_stack()
I've been asked a few times about how to find out what is calling
some location in the kernel. One way is to use dynamic function tracing
and implement the func_stack_trace. But this only finds out who is
calling a particular function. It does not tell you who is calling
that function and entering a specific if conditional.

I have myself implemented a quick version of trace_dump_stack() for
this purpose a few times, and just needed it now. This is when I realized
that this would be a good tool to have in the kernel like trace_printk().

Using trace_dump_stack() is similar to dump_stack() except that it
writes to the trace buffer instead and can be used in critical locations.

For example:

@@ -5485,8 +5485,12 @@ need_resched_nonpreemptible:
 	if (prev->state && !(preempt_count() & PREEMPT_ACTIVE)) {
 		if (unlikely(signal_pending_state(prev->state, prev)))
 			prev->state = TASK_RUNNING;
-		else
+		else {
 			deactivate_task(rq, prev, 1);
+			trace_printk("Deactivating task %s:%d\n",
+				     prev->comm, prev->pid);
+			trace_dump_stack();
+		}
 		switch_count = &prev->nvcsw;
 	}

Produces:

           <...>-3249  [001]   296.105269: schedule: Deactivating task ntpd:3249

dd7f594357 ring-buffer: Move resize integrity check under reader lock
While using an application that does splice on the ftrace ring
buffer at start up, I triggered an integrity check failure.

Looking into this, I discovered that resizing the buffer performs
an integrity check after the buffer is resized. This check unfortunately
is preformed after it releases the reader lock. If a reader is
reading the buffer it may cause the integrity check to trigger a
false failure.

This patch simply moves the integrity checker under the protection
of the ring buffer reader lock.

184210154b ring-buffer: Use sync sched protection on ring buffer resizing
There was a comment in the ring buffer code that says the calling
layers should prevent tracing or reading of the ring buffer while
resizing. I have discovered that the tracers do not honor this
arrangement.

This patch moves the disabling and synchronizing the ring buffer to
a higher layer during resizing. This guarantees that no writes
are occurring while the resize takes place.

strstrip returns a pointer to the first non space character, but the

strstrip is now must_check and therefor we get the correct warning:

We are really not interested in leading whitespace here.

f2942487ff tracing: Remove comparing of NULL to va_list in trace_array_vprintk()
Olof Johansson stated the following:

  Comparing a va_list with NULL is bogus. It's supposed to be treated like
  an opaque type and only be manipulated with va_* accessors.

Olof noticed that this code broke the ARM builds:

    kernel/trace/trace.c: In function 'trace_array_vprintk':
    kernel/trace/trace.c:1364: error: invalid operands to binary == (have 'va_list' and 'void *')
    kernel/trace/trace.c: In function 'tracing_mark_write':
    kernel/trace/trace.c:3349: error: incompatible type for argument 3 of 'trace_vprintk'

This patch partly reverts c13d2f7c32 and
re-installs the original mark_printk() mechanism.

be1eca3931 tracing: Fix function graph trace_pipe to properly display failed entries
There is a case where the graph tracer might get confused and omits
displaying of a single record.  This applies mostly with the trace_pipe
since it is unlikely that the trace_seq buffer will overflow with the
trace file.

As the function_graph tracer goes through the trace entries keeping a
pointer to the current record:

current ->  func1 ENTRY
            func2 ENTRY
            func2 RETURN
            func1 RETURN

When an function ENTRY is encountered, it moves the pointer to the
next entry to check if the function is a nested or leaf function.

            func1 ENTRY
current ->  func2 ENTRY
            func2 RETURN
            func1 RETURN

If the rest of the writing of the function fills the trace_seq buffer,
then the trace_pipe read will ignore this entry. The next read will
Now start at the current location, but the first entry (func1) will
be discarded.

This patch keeps a copy of the current entry in the iterator private
storage and will keep track of when the trace_seq buffer fills. When
the trace_seq buffer fills, it will reuse the copy of the entry in the
next iteration.

[
  This patch has been largely modified by Steven Rostedt in order to
  clean it up and simplify it. The original idea and concept was from
  Jirka and for that, this patch will go under his name to give him
  the credit he deserves. But because this was modify by Steven Rostedt
  anything wrong with the patch should be blamed on Steven.

d184b31c0e tracing: Add full state to trace_seq
The trace_seq buffer might fill up, and right now one needs to check the
return value of each printf into the buffer to check for that.

Instead, have the buffer keep track of whether it is full or not, and
reject more input if it is full or would have overflowed with an input
that wasn't added.

a63ce5b306 tracing: Buffer the output of seq_file in case of filled buffer
If the seq_read fills the buffer it will call s_start again on the next
itertation with the same position. This causes a problem with the
function_graph tracer because it consumes the iteration in order to
determine leaf functions.

What happens is that the iterator stores the entry, and the function
graph plugin will look at the next entry. If that next entry is a return
of the same function and task, then the function is a leaf and the
function_graph plugin calls ring_buffer_read which moves the ring buffer
iterator forward (the trace iterator still points to the function start
entry).

The copying of the trace_seq to the seq_file buffer will fail if the
seq_file buffer is full. The seq_read will not show this entry.
The next read by userspace will cause seq_read to again call s_start
which will reuse the trace iterator entry (the function start entry).
But the function return entry was already consumed. The function graph
plugin will think that this entry is a nested function and not a leaf.

To solve this, the trace code now checks the return status of the
seq_printf (trace_print_seq). If the writing to the seq_file buffer
fails, we set a flag in the iterator (leftover) and we do not reset
the trace_seq buffer. On the next call to s_start, we check the leftover
flag, and if it is set, we just reuse the trace_seq buffer and do not
call into the plugin print functions.

Before this patch:

 2)               |      fput() {
 2)               |        __fput() {
 2)   0.550 us    |          inotify_inode_queue_event();
 2)               |          __fsnotify_parent() {
 2)   0.540 us    |          inotify_dentry_parent_queue_event();

After the patch:

 2)               |      fput() {
 2)               |        __fput() {
 2)   0.550 us    |          inotify_inode_queue_event();
 2)   0.548 us    |          __fsnotify_parent();
 2)   0.540 us    |          inotify_dentry_parent_queue_event();

822a696111 tracing/kprobes: Fix field creation's bad error handling
When we define the common event fields in kprobe, we invert the error
handling and return immediately in case of success. Then we omit
to define specific kprobes fields (ip and nargs), and specific
kretprobes fields (func, ret_ip, nargs). And we only define them
when we fail to create common fields.

The most visible consequence is that we can't create filter for
k(ret)probes specific fields.

This patch re-invert the success/error handling to fix it.

struct perf_event::event callback was called when a breakpoint

ba8665d7dd trace_kprobes: Fix a memory leak bug and check kstrdup() return value
Fix a memory leak case in create_trace_probe(). When an argument
is too long (> MAX_ARGSTR_LEN), it just jumps to error path. In
that case tp->args[i].name is not released.
This also fixes a bug to check kstrdup()'s return value.

dd1853c3f4 hw-breakpoints: Use struct perf_event_attr to define kernel breakpoints
Kernel breakpoints are created using functions in which we pass
breakpoint parameters as individual variables: address, length
and type.

Although it fits well for x86, this just does not scale across
architectures that may support this api later as these may have
more or different needs. Pass in a perf_event_attr structure
instead because it is meant to evolve as much as possible into
a generic hardware breakpoint parameter structure.

7ac0743404 ring-buffer-benchmark: Add parameters to set produce/consumer priorities
Running the ring-buffer-benchmark's threads at the lowest priority may
work well for keeping it in the background, but it is not appropriate
for the benchmarks.

This patch adds 4 parameters to the module:

  consumer_fifo
  consumer_nice
  producer_fifo
  producer_nice

By default the consumer and producer still run at nice +19.

If the *_fifo options are set, they will override the *_nice values.

 modprobe ring_buffer_benchmark consumer_nice=0 producer_fifo=10

The above will set the consumer thread to a nice value of 0, and
the producer thread to a RT SCHED_FIFO priority of 10.

Note, this patch also fixes a bug where calling set_user_nice on the
consumer thread would oops the kernel when the parameter "disable_reader"
is set.

ce71b9df88 tracing: Use the perf recursion protection from trace event
When we commit a trace to perf, we first check if we are
recursing in the same buffer so that we don't mess-up the buffer
with a recursing trace. But later on, we do the same check from
perf to avoid commit recursion. The recursion check is desired
early before we touch the buffer but we want to do this check
only once.

Then export the recursion protection from perf and use it from
the trace events before submitting a trace.

Where trace_clock_local is 40% of the tracing, and the time for recording
a trace according to ring_buffer_benchmark is 210ns. After converting
the interrupts to preemption disabling we have from perf top:

               53.00 -  0.7% : tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick

Where trace_clock_local drops from 40% to only taking 4% of the total time.
The trace time also goes from 210ns down to 179ns (31ns).

I talked with Peter Zijlstra about the impact that sched_clock may have
without having interrupts disabled, and he told me that if a timer interrupt
comes in, sched_clock may report a wrong time.

Balancing a seldom incorrect timestamp with a 15% performance boost, I'll
take the performance boost.

a6f0eb6adc ring-buffer: Add multiple iterations between benchmark timestamps
The ring_buffer_benchmark does a gettimeofday after every write to the
ring buffer in its measurements. This adds the overhead of the call
to gettimeofday to the measurements and does not give an accurate picture
of the length of time it takes to record a trace.

This was first noticed with perf top:

               25.00 -  0.4% : _spin_unlock_irq

And the length of each write to the ring buffer measured at 310ns.

This patch adds a new module parameter called "write_interval" which is
defaulted to 50. This is the number of writes performed between
timestamps. After this patch perf top shows:

do_gettimeofday dropped from 13% usage to a mere 0.4%! (using the default
50 interval)  The measurement for each timestamp went from 310ns to 210ns.
That's 100ns (1/3rd) overhead that the gettimeofday call was introducing.

24f1e32c60 hw-breakpoints: Rewrite the hw-breakpoints layer on top of perf events
This patch rebase the implementation of the breakpoints API on top of
perf events instances.

Each breakpoints are now perf events that handle the
register scheduling, thread/cpu attachment, etc..

The new layering is now made as follows:

       ptrace       kgdb      ftrace   perf syscall
          \          |          /         /
           \         |         /         /
                                        /
            Core breakpoint API        /
                                      /
                     |               /
                     |              /

              Breakpoints perf events

                     |
                     |

               Breakpoints PMU ---- Debug Register constraints handling
                                    (Part of core breakpoint API)
                     |
                     |

             Hardware debug registers

Reasons of this rewrite:

- Use the centralized/optimized pmu registers scheduling,
  implying an easier arch integration
- More powerful register handling: perf attributes (pinned/flexible
  events, exclusive/non-exclusive, tunable period, etc...)

Impact:

- New perf ABI: the hardware breakpoints counters
- Ptrace breakpoints setting remains tricky and still needs some per
  thread breakpoints references.

Todo (in the order):

- Support breakpoints perf counter events for perf tools (ie: implement
  perf_bpcounter_event())
- Support from perf tools

Changes in v2:

- Follow the perf "event " rename
- The ptrace regression have been fixed (ptrace breakpoint perf events
  weren't released when a task ended)
- Drop the struct hw_breakpoint and store generic fields in
  perf_event_attr.
- Separate core and arch specific headers, drop
  asm-generic/hw_breakpoint.h and create linux/hw_breakpoint.h
- Use new generic len/type for breakpoint
- Handle off case: when breakpoints api is not supported by an arch

Changes in v3:

- Fix broken CONFIG_KVM, we need to propagate the breakpoint api
  changes to kvm when we exit the guest and restore the bp registers
  to the host.

Changes in v4:

- Drop the hw_breakpoint_restore() stub as it is only used by KVM
- EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL hw_breakpoint_restore() as KVM can be built as a
  module
- Restore the breakpoints unconditionally on kvm guest exit:
  TIF_DEBUG_THREAD doesn't anymore cover every cases of running
  breakpoints and vcpu->arch.switch_db_regs might not always be
  set when the guest used debug registers.
  (Waiting for a reliable optimization)

Changes in v5:

- Split-up the asm-generic/hw-breakpoint.h moving to
  linux/hw_breakpoint.h into a separate patch
- Optimize the breakpoints restoring while switching from kvm guest
  to host. We only want to restore the state if we have active
  breakpoints to the host, otherwise we don't care about messed-up
  address registers.
- Add asm/hw_breakpoint.h to Kbuild
- Fix bad breakpoint type in trace_selftest.c

Changes in v6:

- Fix wrong header inclusion in trace.h (triggered a build
  error with CONFIG_FTRACE_SELFTEST

444a2a3bcd tracing, perf_events: Protect the buffer from recursion in perf
While tracing using events with perf, if one enables the
lockdep:lock_acquire event, it will infect every other perf
trace events.

Basically, you can enable whatever set of trace events through
perf but if this event is part of the set, the only result we
can get is a long list of lock_acquire events of rcu read lock,
and only that.

This is because of a recursion inside perf.

1) When a trace event is triggered, it will fill a per cpu
   buffer and submit it to perf.

2) Perf will commit this event but will also protect some data
   using rcu_read_lock

3) A recursion appears: rcu_read_lock triggers a lock_acquire
   event that will fill the per cpu event and then submit the
   buffer to perf.

4) Perf detects a recursion and ignores it

5) Perf continues its work on the previous event, but its buffer
   has been overwritten by the lock_acquire event, it has then
   been turned into a lock_acquire event of rcu read lock

Such scenario also happens with lock_release with
rcu_read_unlock().

We could turn the rcu_read_lock() into __rcu_read_lock() to drop
the lock debugging from perf fast path, but that would make us
lose the rcu debugging and that doesn't prevent from other
possible kind of recursion from perf in the future.

This patch adds a recursion protection based on a counter on the
perf trace per cpu buffers to solve the problem.

-v2: Fixed lost whitespace, added reviewed-by tag

3e69533b51 tracing: Fix trace_seq_printf() return value
trace_seq_printf() return value is a little ambiguous. It
currently returns the length of the space available in the
buffer. printf usually returns the amount written. This is not
adequate here, because:

  trace_seq_printf(s, "");

is perfectly legal, and returning 0 would indicate that it
failed.

We can always see the amount written by looking at the before
and after values of s->len. This is not quite the same use as
printf. We only care if the string was successfully written to
the buffer or not.

Make trace_seq_printf() return 0 if the trace oversizes the
buffer's free space, 1 otherwise.

We are using strncpy in the wrong way to copy the ftrace_graph_filter

c44fc77084 tracing: Move syscalls metadata handling from arch to core
Most of the syscalls metadata processing is done from arch.
But these operations are mostly generic accross archs. Especially now
that we have a common variable name that expresses the number of
syscalls supported by an arch: NR_syscalls, the only remaining bits
that need to reside in arch is the syscall nr to addr translation.

v2: Compare syscalls symbols only after the "sys" prefix so that we
    avoid spurious mismatches with archs that have syscalls wrappers,
    in which case syscalls symbols have "SyS" prefixed aliases.

5cb084bb1f tracing: Enable records during the module load
I was debuging some module using "function" and "function_graph"
tracers and noticed, that if you load module after you enabled
tracing, the module's hooks will convert only to NOP instructions.

The attached patch enables modules' hooks if there's function trace
allready on, thus allowing to trace module functions.

Add $ prefix to the special variables(e.g. sa, rv) of kprobe-tracer.
This resolves consistency issues between kprobe_events and perf-kprobe.

The main goal is to avoid conflicts between local variable names of
probed functions, used by perf probe, and special variables used
in the kprobe event creation interface (stack values, etc...) and
also available from perf probe.

ie: we don't want rv (return value) to conflict with a local variable
named rv in a probed function.

Since 2.6.31 now has request-based device-mapper, it's useful to have

This patch adds a tracepoint for request-remapping, trace_block_rq_remap().

f9ac5a69ed kmemtrace: Fix up tracer registration
Commit ddc1637af2 ("kmemtrace: Print
binary output only if 'bin' option is set") ended up inverting the
error detection logic. register_tracer() returns 0 on success,
which this change caused to treat as an error, resulting in:

[    0.132000] Warning: could not register the kmem tracer

as well as bailing out of the initcall with an error value. This
restores the old logic.

33974093c0 tracing: Fix infinite recursion in ftrace_update_pid_func()
When CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST is enabled
__ftrace_trace_function contains the current trace function, not
ftrace_trace_function.

In ftrace_update_pid_func() we currently incorrectly assign the
value of ftrace_trace_function to __ftrace_trace_funcion before
returning.

Without this patch it is possible to execute an infinite recursion
whereby ftrace_test_stop_func() calls __ftrace_trace_function,
which was assigned ftrace_test_stop_func() in
ftrace_update_pid_func().

1889d20922 tracing/filters: Provide basic regex support
This patch provides basic support for regular expressions in filters.

It supports the following types of regexp:

- *match_beginning
- *match_middle*
- match_end*
- !don't match

Example:
	cd /debug/tracing/events/bkl/lock_kernel
	echo 'file == "*reiserfs*"' > filter
	echo 1 > enable

           gedit-4941  [000]   457.735437: lock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/reiserfs/namei.c:334 reiserfs_lookup()
     sync_supers-227   [001]   461.379985: lock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/reiserfs/super.c:69 reiserfs_sync_fs()
     sync_supers-227   [000]   461.383096: lock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/reiserfs/journal.c:1069 flush_commit_list()
      reiserfs/1-1369  [001]   461.479885: lock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/reiserfs/journal.c:3509 flush_async_commits()

Every string is now handled as a regexp in the filter framework, which
helps to factorize the code for handling both simple strings and
regexp comparisons.

(The regexp parsing code has been wildly cherry picked from ftrace.c
written by Steve.)

v2: Simplify the whole and drop the filter_regex file

cdd6c482c9 perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events
Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!

In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.

Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.

All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)

The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.

Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.

User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)

This patch has been generated via the following script:

  FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')

  sed -i \
    -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
    -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
    -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
    -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
    -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
    $FILES

  for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
    M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
    mv $N $M
  done

  FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)

  sed -i \
    -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
    -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
    -e 's/counter/event/g' \
    -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
    $FILES

... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.

Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.

( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
  with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
  over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
  in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
  better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
  instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

89f19f04dc sched: Fix raciness in runqueue_is_locked()
runqueue_is_locked() is unavoidably racy due to a poor interface design.
It does

	cpu = get_cpu()
	ret = some_perpcu_thing(cpu);
	put_cpu(cpu);
	return ret;

Its return value is unreliable.

Fix.

6161352142 tracing, perf: Convert the power tracer into an event tracer
This patch converts the existing power tracer into an event tracer,
so that power events (C states and frequency changes) can be
tracked via "perf".

This also removes the perl script that was used to demo the tracer;
its functionality is being replaced entirely with timechart.

20ab4425a7 tracing: Allocate the ftrace event profile buffer dynamically
Currently the trace event profile buffer is allocated in the stack. But
this may be too much for the stack, as the events can have large
statically defined field size and can also grow with dynamic arrays.

Allocate two per cpu buffer for all profiled events. The first cpu
buffer is used to host every non-nmi context traces. It is protected
by disabling the interrupts while writing and committing the trace.

The second buffer is reserved for nmi. So that there is no race between
them and the first buffer.

The whole write/commit section is rcu protected because we release
these buffers while deactivating the last profiling trace event.

v2: Move the buffers from trace_event to be global, as pointed by
    Steven Rostedt.

v3: Fix the syscall events to handle the profiling buffer races
    by disabling interrupts, now that the buffers are globals.

5a0d9050db tracing/kprobes: Disable kprobe events by default after creation
Disable newly created kprobe events by default, not to disturb
another user using ftrace. "Disturb" means when someone is using
ftrace and another user tries to use perf-tools, (in near
future) if he defines new kprobe event via perf-tools, then new
events will mess up the frace buffer. Fix this to allow proper
and transparent kprobes events concurrent usage between ftrace
users and perf users.

(and my x86 foo ain't great).  So after pounding out support for
the Blackfin arch, start documenting the requirements/details.

1f5a6b4541 tracing: make testing syscall events a separate configuration
Parag noticed that the number of event tests has increased tremendously:

grep "Testing event" dmesg.31rc9 |wc -l
100

grep "Testing event" dmesg.31git |wc -l
1172

This is due to the testing of every syscall event when ftrace self
test is enabled. This adds a bit more time to kernel boot up and can
affect development by slowing down the time it takes between reboots.

This option makes the testing of the syscall events into a separate
config, to still be able to test most of ftrace internals at boot up
but not have to wait for all the syscall events to be tested.

The syscall event testing only tests the enabling and disabling of
the trace point, since the syscalls are not executed. What really needs
to be done is to somehow have a userspace tool test the syscall tracepoints
as well.

08a4081617 ring-buffer: typecast cmpxchg to fix PowerPC warning
The cmpxchg used by PowerPC does the following:

  ({									 \
     __typeof__(*(ptr)) _o_ = (o);					 \
     __typeof__(*(ptr)) _n_ = (n);					 \
     (__typeof__(*(ptr))) __cmpxchg((ptr), (unsigned long)_o_,		 \
				    (unsigned long)_n_, sizeof(*(ptr))); \
  })

This does a type check of *ptr to both o and n.

Unfortunately, the code in ring-buffer.c assigns longs to pointers
and pointers to longs and causes a warning on PowerPC:

ring_buffer.c: In function 'rb_head_page_set':
ring_buffer.c:704: warning: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast
ring_buffer.c:704: warning: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast
ring_buffer.c: In function 'rb_head_page_replace':
ring_buffer.c:797: warning: initialization makes integer from pointer without a cast

This patch adds the typecasts inside cmpxchg to annotate that a long is
being cast to a pointer and a pointer is being casted to a long and this
removes the PowerPC warnings.

0a1c49db8d tracing: use macros to create internal ftrace entry ring buffer structures
The entries used by ftrace internal code (plugins) currently have their
formats manually exported to userspace. That is, the format files in
debugfs/tracing/events/ftrace/*/format are currently created by hand.
This is a maintenance nightmare, and can easily become out of sync
with what is actually shown.

This patch uses the methodology of the TRACE_EVENT macros to build
the structures so that their formats can be automated and this
will keep the structures in sync with what users can see.

This patch only changes the way the structures are created. Further
patches will build off of this to automate the format files.

478142c39c tracing: do not grab lock in wakeup latency function tracing
The wakeup tracer, when enabled, has its own function tracer.
It only traces the functions on the CPU where the task it is following
is on. If a task is woken on one CPU but then migrates to another CPU
before it wakes up, the latency tracer will then start tracing functions
on the other CPU.

To find which CPU the task is on, the wakeup function tracer performs
a task_cpu(wakeup_task). But to make sure the task does not disappear
it grabs the wakeup_lock, which is also taken when the task wakes up.
By taking this lock, the function tracer does not need to worry about
the task being freed as it checks its cpu.

Jan Blunck found a problem with this approach on his 32 CPU box. When
a task is being traced by the wakeup tracer, all functions take this
lock. That means that on all 32 CPUs, each function call is taking
this one lock to see if the task is on that CPU. This lock has just
serialized all functions on all 32 CPUs. Needless to say, this caused
major issues on that box. It would even lockup.

This patch changes the wakeup latency to insert a probe on the migrate task
tracepoint. When a task changes its CPU that it will run on, the
probe will take note. Now the wakeup function tracer no longer needs
to take the lock. It only compares the current CPU with a variable that
holds the current CPU the task is on. We don't worry about races since
it is OK to add or miss a function trace.

d8eeb2d3b2 ring-buffer: consolidate interface of rb_buffer_peek()
rb_buffer_peek() operates with struct ring_buffer_per_cpu *cpu_buffer
only. Thus, instead of passing variables buffer and cpu it is better
to use cpu_buffer directly. This also reduces the risk of races since

on the fly. If an event is happening and has reserved data on one of

wrong buffer.

2f26ebd549 tracing: use timestamp to determine start of latency traces
Currently the latency tracers reset the ring buffer. Unfortunately
if a commit is in process (due to a trace event), this can corrupt
the ring buffer. When this happens, the ring buffer will detect
the corruption and then permanently disable the ring buffer.

The bug does not crash the system, but it does prevent further tracing
after the bug is hit.

Instead of reseting the trace buffers, the timestamp of the start of
the trace is used instead. The buffers will still contain the previous
data, but the output will not count any data that is before the
timestamp of the trace.

Note, this only affects the static trace output (trace) and not the
runtime trace output (trace_pipe). The runtime trace output does not
make sense for the latency tracers anyway.

76f0d07376 tracing: remove users of tracing_reset
The function tracing_reset is deprecated for outside use of trace.c.

The new function to reset the the buffers is tracing_reset_online_cpus.

The reason for this is that resetting the buffers while the event
trace points are active can corrupt the buffers, because they may
be writing at the time of reset. The tracing_reset_online_cpus disables
writes and waits for current writers to finish.

This patch replaces all users of tracing_reset except for the latency
tracers. Those changes require more work and will be removed in the

077c5407cd ring-buffer: disable all cpu buffers when one finds a problem
Currently the way RB_WARN_ON works, is to disable either the current
CPU buffer or all CPU buffers, depending on whether a ring_buffer or
ring_buffer_per_cpu struct was passed into the macro.

Most users of the RB_WARN_ON pass in the CPU buffer, so only the one
CPU buffer gets disabled but the rest are still active. This may
confuse users even though a warning is sent to the console.

This patch changes the macro to disable the entire buffer even if
the CPU buffer is passed in.

a1863c212b ring-buffer: do not count discarded events
The latency tracers report the number of items in the trace buffer.
This uses the ring buffer data to calculate this. Because discarded
events are also counted, the numbers do not match the number of items
that are printed. The ring buffer also adds a "padding" item to the
end of each buffer page which also gets counted as a discarded item.

This patch decrements the counter to the page entries on a discard.
This allows us to ignore discarded entries while reading the buffer.

Decrementing the counter is still safe since it can only happen while
the committing flag is still set.

7e9391cfed ring-buffer: fix ring_buffer_read crossing pages
When the ring buffer uses an iterator (static read mode, not on the
fly reading), when it crosses a page boundery, it will skip the first
entry on the next page. The reason is that the last entry of a page
is usually padding if the page is not full. The padding will not be
returned to the user.

The problem arises on ring_buffer_read because it also increments the
iterator. Because both the read and peek use the same rb_iter_peek,
the rb_iter_peak will return the padding but also increment to the next
item. This is because the ring_buffer_peek will not incerment it
itself.

The ring_buffer_read will increment it again and then call rb_iter_peek
again to get the next item. But that will be the second item, not the
first one on the page.

The reason this never showed up before, is because the ftrace utility
always calls ring_buffer_peek first and only uses ring_buffer_read
to increment to the next item. The ring_buffer_peek will always keep
the pointer to a valid item and not padding. This just hid the bug.

ff50d99136 tracing: Kprobe tracer assigns new event ids for each event
Assign new event ids for each kprobes event. This doesn't clear
ring_buffer when unregistering each kprobe event. Thus, if you mind
'Unknown event' messages, clear the buffer manually after changing
kprobe events.

413d37d1eb tracing: Add kprobe-based event tracer
Add kprobes-based event tracer on ftrace.

This tracer is similar to the events tracer which is based on Tracepoint
infrastructure. Instead of Tracepoint, this tracer is based on kprobes
(kprobe and kretprobe). It probes anywhere where kprobes can probe(this
 means, all functions body except for __kprobes functions).

Similar to the events tracer, this tracer doesn't need to be activated
via current_tracer, instead of that, just set probe points via
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events. And you can set filters on each
probe events via /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/<EVENT>/filter.

This tracer supports following probe arguments for each probe.

  %REG  : Fetch register REG
  sN    : Fetch Nth entry of stack (N >= 0)
  sa    : Fetch stack address.
  @ADDR : Fetch memory at ADDR (ADDR should be in kernel)
  @SYM[+|-offs] : Fetch memory at SYM +|- offs (SYM should be a data symbol)
  aN    : Fetch function argument. (N >= 0)
  rv    : Fetch return value.
  ra    : Fetch return address.
  +|-offs(FETCHARG) : fetch memory at FETCHARG +|- offs address.

See Documentation/trace/kprobetrace.txt in the next patch for details.

Changes from v13:
 - Support 'sa' for stack address.
 - Use call->data instead of container_of() macro.

Changes from v13:
 - Define remove_subsystem_dir() always (revirt a2ca5e03), because
   trace_remove_event_call() uses it.
 - Modify syscall tracer because of ftrace_event_call change.

cd0980fc8a tracing: Check invalid syscall nr while tracing syscalls
Most arch syscall_get_nr() implementations returns -1 if the syscall
number is not valid.  Accessing the bit field without a check might
result in a kernel oops (at least I saw it on s390 for ftrace selftest).

Before this change, this problem did not occur, because the invalid
syscall number (-1) caused syscall_nr_to_meta() to return NULL.

There are at least two scenarios where syscall_get_nr() can return -1:

1. For example, ptrace stores an invalid syscall number, and thus,
   tracing code resets it.
   (see do_syscall_trace_enter in arch/s390/kernel/ptrace.c)

2. The syscall_regfunc() (kernel/tracepoint.c) sets the
   TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE (now: TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT) flag for all threads
   which include kernel threads.
   However, the ftrace selftest triggers a kernel oops when testing
   syscall trace points:
      - The kernel thread is started as ususal (do_fork()),
      - tracing code sets TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE,
      - the ret_from_fork() function is triggered and starts
	ftrace_syscall_exit() with an invalid syscall number.

To avoid these scenarios, I suggest to check the syscall_nr.

For instance, the ftrace selftest fails for s390 (with config option
CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS set) and produces the following kernel oops.

Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference at virtual kernel address 2000000000

87a342f5db tracing/filters: Support filtering for char * strings
Usually, char * entries are dangerous in traces because the string
can be released whereas a pointer to it can still wait to be read from
the ring buffer.

But sometimes we can assume it's safe, like in case of RO data
(eg: __file__ or __line__, used in bkl trace event). If these RO data
are in a module and so is the call to the trace event, then it's safe,
because the ring buffer will be flushed once this module get unloaded.

To allow char * to be treated as a string:

	TRACE_EVENT(...,

		TP_STRUCT__entry(
			__field_ext(const char *, name, FILTER_PTR_STRING)
			...
		)

		...
	);

The filtering will not dereference "char *" unless the developer
explicitly sets FILTER_PTR_STR in __field_ext.

The type of a field is stored as a string in @type, and here
we add @filter_type which is an enum value.

This prepares for later patches, so we can specifically assign
different @filter_type for the same @type.

For example normally a "char *" field is treated as a ptr,
but we may want it to be treated as a string when doing filting.

e6971969c3 tracing/syscalls: Fix fields format for enter events
The "format" file of a trace event is originally for parsers to
parse ftrace binary output.

But the "format" file of a syscall event can only be used by
perfcounter, because it describes the format of struct
syscall_enter_record not struct syscall_trace_enter.

To fix this, we remove struct syscall_enter_record, and then
struct syscall_trace_enter will be used by both perf profile
and ftrace.

If one filter item (for set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace) is being

#include <fcntl.h>

        char *file = argv[1];

        if (-1 == (fd = open(file, O_WRONLY))) {
                perror("open failed");
                return -1;
        }

        for(i = 0; i < (argc - 2); i++) {
                int len = strlen(argv[2+i]);
                int cnt, off = 0;

                while(len) {
                        cnt = write(fd, argv[2+i] + off, len);
                        len -= cnt;
                        off += cnt;
                }
        }

        close(fd);
        return 0;
}

ba8b3a40ba tracing/syscalls: Fix to print parameter types
When syscall tracing was implemented as a tracer,
"syscall_arg_type" trace option could be set to enable the
display of syscall parameter types.

Now this option is gone since it's no longer a tracer, but the
code is still there but dead.

So we remove dead code and re-enable the printing of paramete
types via the verbose option:

  # echo verbose > trace_options
  # echo syscalls > set_event
  # cat trace

        bash-3331  [000]    95.348937: sys_fcntl64 -> 0x1

39cbb602b5 Remove double removal of blktrace directory
commit fd51d251e4
Author: Stefan Raspl <raspl@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Date:   Tue May 19 09:59:08 2009 +0200

    blktrace: remove debugfs entries on bad path

added in an explicit invocation of debugfs_remove for bt->dir, in
blk_remove_buf_file_callback we are also getting the directory removed. On
occasion I am seeing memory corruption that I have bisected down to
this commit. [The testing involves a (long) series of I/O benchmarks
with blktrace invoked around the actual runs.] I believe that this
committed patch is correct, but the problem actually lies in the code
in blk_remove_buf_file_callback.

With this patch I am able to consistently get complete runs whereas
previously I could not get a single run to complete.

The first part of the patch simply moves the debugfs_remove below the
relay_close: the relay_close call will remove files under bt->dir, and
so we should not remove the directory until all the files we created
have been removed. (Note: This is not sufficient to fix the problem -
the file system code has ref counts on the directoy, so our invocation
does not cause the directory to actually be removed. Nonetheless, we
should not rely upon that feature.)

ID: 39
format:
	field:unsigned short common_type;	offset:0;	size:2;

	field:unsigned char common_preempt_count;	offset:3;	size:1;
	field:int common_pid;	offset:4;	size:4;
	field:int common_tgid;	offset:8;	size:4;

	field:pid_t pid;	offset:12;	size:8;
	field:struct sched_param * param;	offset:20;	size:8;

7770841e63 tracing: Rename set_tracer_flags()'s local variable trace_flags
set_tracer_flags() have a local variable named trace_flags which has
the same name than a global one in the same scope.
This leads to confusion, using tracer_flags should be better by its
meaning.

f413cdb80c perf_counter: Fix/complete ftrace event records sampling
This patch implements the kernel side support for ftrace event
record sampling.

A new counter sampling attribute is added:

   PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD

which requests ftrace events record sampling. In this case
if a PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT counter is active and a tracepoint
fires, we emit the tracepoint binary record to the
perfcounter event buffer, as a sample.

Result, after setting PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD attribute from perf
record:

 perf record -f -F 1 -a -e workqueue:workqueue_execution
 perf report -D

 0x21e18 [0x48]: event: 9
 .
 . ... raw event: size 72 bytes

.
0x21e18 [0x48]: PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE (IP, 1): 10: 0xffffffff8100c7d0 period: 33

The raw ftrace binary record starts at offset 0020.

Translation:

 struct trace_entry {
	type		= 0x2b = 43;
	flags		= 1;
	preempt_count	= 2;
	pid		= 0xa = 10;
	tgid		= 0xa = 10;
 }

 thread_comm = "events/1"
 thread_pid  = 0xa = 10;
 func	    = 0xffffffff8131b1e0 = flush_to_ldisc()

What will come next?

 - Userspace support ('perf trace'), 'flight data recorder' mode
   for perf trace, etc.

 - The unconditional copy from the profiling callback brings
   some costs however if someone wants no such sampling to
   occur, and needs to be fixed in the future. For that we need
   to have an instant access to the perf counter attribute.
   This is a matter of a flag to add in the struct ftrace_event.

 - Take care of the events recursivity! Don't ever try to record
   a lock event for example, it seems some locking is used in
   the profiling fast path and lead to a tracing recursivity.
   That will be fixed using raw spinlock or recursivity
   protection.

 - [...]

 - Profit! :-)

469535a598 ring-buffer: Fix advance of reader in rb_buffer_peek()
When calling rb_buffer_peek() from ring_buffer_consume() and a
padding event is returned, the function rb_advance_reader() is
called twice. This may lead to missing samples or under high
workloads to the warning below. This patch fixes this. If a padding
event is returned by rb_buffer_peek() it will be consumed by the
calling function now.

Also, I simplified some code in ring_buffer_consume().

    debug_locks: set oops_in_progress if we will log messages.

    Otherwise lock debugging messages on runqueue locks can deadlock the
    system due to the wakeups performed by printk().

Will permanently set oops_in_progress on any lockdep failure.
When this triggers it will cause any read from the ring buffer to
permanently disable the ring buffer (not to mention no locking of
printk).

This patch removes the check. It keeps the print in NMI which makes
sense. This is probably OK, since the ring buffer should not cause
something to set oops_in_progress anyway.

74e7ff8c50 tracing: Fix missing function_graph events when we splice_read from trace_pipe
About a half events are missing when we splice_read
from trace_pipe. They are unexpectedly consumed because we ignore
the TRACE_TYPE_NO_CONSUME return value used by the function graph
tracer when it needs to consume the events by itself to walk on
the ring buffer.

The same problem appears with ftrace_dump()

Example of an output before this patch:

1)               |      ktime_get_real() {
1)   2.846 us    |          read_hpet();
1)   4.558 us    |        }
1)   6.195 us    |      }

After this patch:

0)               |      ktime_get_real() {
0)               |        getnstimeofday() {
0)   1.960 us    |          read_hpet();
0)   3.597 us    |        }

38ceb592fc tracing: Fix invalid function_graph entry
When print_graph_entry() computes a function call entry event, it needs
to also check the next entry to guess if it matches the return event of
the current function entry.
In order to look at this next event, it needs to consume the current
entry before going ahead in the ring buffer.

However, if the current event that gets consumed is the last one in the
ring buffer head page, the ring_buffer may reuse the page for writers.
The consumed entry will then become invalid because of possible
racy overwriting.

Me must then handle this entry by making a copy of it.

The fix also applies on 2.6.30

 # echo 0 > ksym_trace_filter

- fix the return value of ksym_trace_filter_write() when we want to

  for example:
  # echo global_trace:rw- > /debug/tracing/ksym_trace_filter
  # echo global_trace:--- > /debug/tracing/ksym_trace_filter
  -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
  # cat /debug/tracing/ksym_trace_filter
  #
  We want to clear 'global_trace' in ksym_trace_filter, it complain
  with "Invalid argument", but the operation is successful

- the "r--" access types is not allowed, but ksym_trace_filter file think
  it OK
  for example:
  # echo ksym_tracer_mutex:r-- > ksym_trace_filter
  -bash: echo: write error: Resource temporarily unavailable
  # dmesg
  ksym_tracer request failed. Try again later!!

in the buffer, they are exported via debugfs/tracing/printk_formats.
This is used by utilities that read the ring buffer in binary format.
It helps the utilities map the address of the format in the binary
buffer to what the printf format looks like.

Unfortunately, the way the output code works, it exports the address
of the pointer to the format address, and not the format address
itself. This makes the file totally useless in trying to figure
out what format string a binary address belongs to.

1f9963cbb0 tracing/filters: improve subsystem filter
Currently a subsystem filter should be applicable to all events
under the subsystem, and if it failed, all the event filters
will be cleared. Those behaviors make subsys filter much less
useful:

  # echo 'vec == 1' > irq/softirq_entry/filter
  # echo 'irq == 5' > irq/filter
  bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
  # cat irq/softirq_entry/filter
  none

I'd expect it set the filter for irq_handler_entry/exit, and
not touch softirq_entry/exit.

The basic idea is, try to see if the filter can be applied
to which events, and then just apply to the those events:

  # echo 'vec == 1' > softirq_entry/filter
  # echo 'irq == 5' > filter
  # cat irq_handler_entry/filter
  irq == 5
  # cat softirq_entry/filter
  vec == 1

Changelog for v2:
- do some cleanups to address Frederic's comments.

7d536cb3fb tracing/events: record the size of dynamic arrays
When a dynamic array is defined, we add __data_loc_foo in
trace_entry to record the offset of the array, but the
size of the array is not recorded, which causes 2 problems:

- the event filter just compares the first 2 chars of the strings.

- parsers can't parse dynamic arrays.

So we encode the size of each dynamic array in the higher 16 bits
of __data_loc_foo, while the offset is in lower 16 bits.

04aef32d39 tracing/function: Fix the return value of ftrace_trace_onoff_callback()
ftrace_trace_onoff_callback() will return an error even if we do the
right operation, for example:

 # echo _spin_*:traceon:10 > set_ftrace_filter
 -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
 # cat set_ftrace_filter
 #### all functions enabled ####
 _spin_trylock_bh:traceon:count=10
 _spin_unlock_irq:traceon:count=10
 _spin_unlock_bh:traceon:count=10
 _spin_lock_irq:traceon:count=10
 _spin_unlock:traceon:count=10
 _spin_trylock:traceon:count=10
 _spin_unlock_irqrestore:traceon:count=10
 _spin_lock_irqsave:traceon:count=10
 _spin_lock_bh:traceon:count=10
 _spin_lock:traceon:count=10

We want to set _spin_*:traceon:10 to set_ftrace_filter, it complains
with "Invalid argument", but the operation is successful.

This is because ftrace_process_regex() returns the number of functions that
matched the pattern. If the number is not 0, this value is returned
by ftrace_regex_write() whereas we want to return the number of bytes
virtually written.
Also the file offset pointer is not updated in this case.

If the number of matched functions is lower than the number of bytes written
by the user, this results to a reprocessing of the string given by the user with
a lower size, leading to a malformed ftrace regex and then a -EINVAL returned.

So, this patch fixes it by returning 0 if no error occured.
The fix also applies on 2.6.30

77ae365eca ring-buffer: make lockless
This patch converts the ring buffers into a completely lockless
buffer recording system. The read side still takes locks since
we still serialize readers. But the writers are the ones that
must be lockless (those can happen in NMIs).

The main change is to the "head_page" pointer. We write to the
tail, and read from the head. The "head_page" pointer in the cpu
buffer is now just a reference to where to look. The real head
page is now kept in the head_page->list->prev->next pointer.
That is, in the list head of the previous page we set flags.

The list pages are allocated to be aligned such that the lowest
significant bits are always zero pointing to the list. This gives
us play to put in flags to their pointers.

bit 0: set when the page is a head page
bit 1: set when the writer is moving the page (for overwrite mode)

cmpxchg is used to update the pointer.

When the writer wraps the buffer and the tail meets the head,
in overwrite mode, the writer must move the head page forward.
It first uses cmpxchg to change the pointer flag from 1 to 2.
Once this is done, the reader on another CPU will not take the
page from the buffer.

The writers need to protect against interrupts (we don't bother with
disabling interrupts because NMIs are allowed to write too).

After the writer sets the pointer flag to 2, it takes care to
manage interrupts coming in. This is discribed in detail within the
comments of the code.

 Changes in version 2:
  - Let reader reset entries value of header page.
  - Fix tail page passing commit page on reader page test.

3adc54fa82 ring-buffer: make the buffer a true circular link list
This patch changes the ring buffer data pages from using a link list
head pointer, to making each buffer page point to another buffer page
and never back to a "head".

This makes the handling of the ring buffer less complex, since the
traversing of the ring buffer pages no longer needs to account for the
head pointer.

This change also is needed to make the ring buffer lockless.

[
  Changes in version 2:

  - Added change that Lai Jiangshan mentioned.

  From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com>
  Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2009 11:25:48 +0800
  LKML-Reference: <4A30793C.6090208@cn.fujitsu.com>

  I'm not sure whether these 4 lines:
	bpage = list_entry(pages.next, struct buffer_page, list);
	list_del_init(&bpage->list);
	cpu_buffer->pages = &bpage->list;

	list_splice(&pages, cpu_buffer->pages);
  equal to these 2 lines:
 	cpu_buffer->pages = pages.next;
 	list_del(&pages);

  If there are equivalent, I think the second one
  are simpler. It may be not a really necessarily cleanup.

  What I asked is: if there are equivalent, could you use these two line:
 	cpu_buffer->pages = pages.next;
	list_del(&pages);
]

ddc1637af2 kmemtrace: Print binary output only if 'bin' option is set
Currently by default the output of kmemtrace is binary format instead
of human-readable output.

This patch makes the following changes:

  - We'll see human-readable output by default
  - We'll see binary output if 'bin' option is set

Note: you may probably need to explicitly disable context-info binary
      output:

	# echo 0 > options/context-info
	# echo 1 > options/bin
	# cat trace_pipe

v2:
- use %pF to print call_site

e1af3aec3e tracing: Fix trace_print_seq()
We will lose something if trace_seq->buffer[0] is 0, because the copy length
is calculated by strlen() in seq_puts(), so using seq_write() instead of
seq_puts().

There have a example:
after reboot:

 # echo kmemtrace > current_tracer
 # echo 0 > options/kmem_minimalistic
 # cat trace
 # tracer: kmemtrace
 #
 #

Nothing is exported, because the first byte of trace_seq->buffer[ ]
is KMEMTRACE_USER_ALLOC.

( the value of KMEMTRACE_USER_ALLOC is zero, seeing
  kmemtrace_print_alloc_user() in kernel/trace/kmemtrace.c)

1155de47cd ring-buffer: Make it generally available
In hunting down the cause for the hwlat_detector ring buffer spew in
my failed -next builds it became obvious that folks are now treating
ring_buffer as something that is generic independent of tracing and thus,
suitable for public driver consumption.

Given that there are only a few minor areas in ring_buffer that have any
reliance on CONFIG_TRACING or CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER, provide stubs for
those and make it generally available.

694ce0a544 ftrace: Don't manipulate @pos in t_start()
It's rather confusing that in t_start(), in some cases @pos is

Thus we fix a bug that if ftrace_filtered == 1, functions have tracer
hooks won't be printed, because the branch is always unreachable:

	if (!p)

e1c7e2a6e6 tracing/events: Don't increment @pos in s_start()
While testing syscall tracepoints posted by Jason, I found 3 entries
were missing when reading available_events. The output size of
available_events is < 4 pages, which means we lost 1 entry per page.

The cause is, it's wrong to increment @pos in s_start().

Actually there's another bug here -- reading avaiable_events/set_events
can race with module unload:

  # cat available_events               |
      s_start()                        |
      s_stop()                         |
                                       | # rmmod foo.ko
      s_start()                        |
        call = list_entry(m->private)  |

@call might be freed and accessing it will lead to crash.

c85a17e226 tracing/urgent: fix unbalanced ftrace_start_up
Perfcounter reports the following stats for a wide system
profiling:

 #
 # (2364 samples)
 #
 # Overhead  Symbol
 # ........  ......
 #
    15.40%  [k] mwait_idle_with_hints
     8.29%  [k] read_hpet
     5.75%  [k] ftrace_caller
     3.60%  [k] ftrace_call
     [...]

This snapshot has been taken while neither the function tracer nor
the function graph tracer was running.
With dynamic ftrace, such results show a wrong ftrace behaviour
because all calls to ftrace_caller or ftrace_graph_caller (the patched
calls to mcount) are supposed to be patched into nop if none of those
tracers are running.

The problem occurs after the first run of the function tracer. Once we
launch it a second time, the callsites will never be nopped back,
unless you set custom filters.
For example it happens during the self tests at boot time.
The function tracer selftest runs, and then the dynamic tracing is
tested too. After that, the callsites are left un-nopped.

This is because the reset callback of the function tracer tries to
unregister two ftrace callbacks in once: the common function tracer
and the function tracer with stack backtrace, regardless of which
one is currently in use.
It then creates an unbalance on ftrace_start_up value which is expected
to be zero when the last ftrace callback is unregistered. When it
reaches zero, the FTRACE_DISABLE_CALLS is set on the next ftrace
command, triggering the patching into nop. But since it becomes
unbalanced, ie becomes lower than zero, if the kernel functions
are patched again (as in every further function tracer runs), they
won't ever be nopped back.

Note that ftrace_call and ftrace_graph_call are still patched back
to ftrace_stub in the off case, but not the callers of ftrace_call
and ftrace_graph_caller. It means that the tracing is well deactivated
but we waste a useless call into every kernel function.

This patch just unregisters the right ftrace_ops for the function
tracer on its reset callback and ignores the other one which is
not registered, fixing the unbalance. The problem also happens
is .30

71e308a239 function-graph: add stack frame test
In case gcc does something funny with the stack frames, or the return
from function code, we would like to detect that.

An arch may implement passing of a variable that is unique to the
function and can be saved on entering a function and can be tested
when exiting the function. Usually the frame pointer can be used for
this purpose.

This patch also implements this for x86. Where it passes in the stack
frame of the parent function, and will test that frame on exit.

There was a case in x86_32 with optimize for size (-Os) where, for a
few functions, gcc would align the stack frame and place a copy of the
return address into it. The function graph tracer modified the copy and
not the actual return address. On return from the funtion, it did not go
to the tracer hook, but returned to the parent. This broke the function
graph tracer, because the return of the parent (where gcc did not do
this funky manipulation) returned to the location that the child function
was suppose to. This caused strange kernel crashes.

This test detected the problem and pointed out where the issue was.

This modifies the parameters of one of the functions that the arch
specific code calls, so it includes changes to arch code to accommodate
the new prototype.

Note, I notice that the parsic arch implements its own push_return_trace.
This is now a generic function and the ftrace_push_return_trace should be
used instead. This patch does not touch that code.

eb4a03780d function-graph: disable when both x86_32 and optimize for size are configured
On x86_32, when optimize for size is set, gcc may align the frame pointer
and make a copy of the the return address inside the stack frame.
The return address that is located in the stack frame may not be
the one used to return to the calling function. This will break the
function graph tracer.

The function graph tracer replaces the return address with a jump to a hook
function that can trace the exit of the function. If it only replaces
a copy, then the hook will not be called when the function returns.
Worse yet, when the parent function returns, the function graph tracer
will return back to the location of the child function which will
easily crash the kernel with weird results.

To see the problem, when i386 is compiled with -Os we get:

c106be03:       57                      push   %edi
c106be04:       8d 7c 24 08             lea    0x8(%esp),%edi
c106be08:       83 e4 e0                and    $0xffffffe0,%esp
c106be0b:       ff 77 fc                pushl  0xfffffffc(%edi)
c106be0e:       55                      push   %ebp
c106be0f:       89 e5                   mov    %esp,%ebp
c106be11:       57                      push   %edi
c106be12:       56                      push   %esi
c106be13:       53                      push   %ebx
c106be14:       81 ec 8c 00 00 00       sub    $0x8c,%esp
c106be1a:       e8 f5 57 fb ff          call   c1021614 <mcount>

When it is compiled with -O2 instead we get:

c10896f0:       55                      push   %ebp
c10896f1:       89 e5                   mov    %esp,%ebp
c10896f3:       83 ec 28                sub    $0x28,%esp
c10896f6:       89 5d f4                mov    %ebx,0xfffffff4(%ebp)
c10896f9:       89 75 f8                mov    %esi,0xfffffff8(%ebp)
c10896fc:       89 7d fc                mov    %edi,0xfffffffc(%ebp)
c10896ff:       e8 d0 08 fa ff          call   c1029fd4 <mcount>

The compile with -Os will align the stack pointer then set up the
frame pointer (%ebp), and it copies the return address back into
the stack frame. The change to the return address in mcount is done
to the copy and not the real place holder of the return address.

Then compile with -O2 sets up the frame pointer first, this makes
the change to the return address by mcount affect where the function
will jump on exit.

4b221f0313 ring-buffer: have benchmark test print to trace buffer
Currently the output of the ring buffer benchmark/test prints to
the console. This test runs for ten seconds every ten seconds and
ouputs the result after every iteration. This needlessly fills up
the logs.

This patch makes the ring buffer benchmark/test print to the ftrace
buffer using trace_printk. To view the test results, you must examine

8d707e8eb4 ring-buffer: do not grab locks in nmi
If ftrace_dump_on_oops is set, and an NMI detects a lockup, then it
will need to read from the ring buffer. But the read side of the
ring buffer still takes locks. This patch adds a check on the read
side that if it is in an NMI, then it will disable the ring buffer
and not take any locks.

Reads can still happen on a disabled ring buffer.

5f78abeebb ring-buffer: check for less than two in size allocation
The ring buffer must have at least two pages allocated for the
reader page swap to work.

The page count check will miss the case of a zero size passed in.
Even though a zero size ring buffer would probably fail an allocation,
making the min size check for less than two instead of equal to one makes
the code a bit more robust.

0dcd4d6c3e ring-buffer: remove useless compile check for buffer_page size
The original version of the ring buffer had a hack to map the
page struct that held the pages of the buffer to also be the structure
that the ring buffer would keep the pages in a link list.

This overlap of the page struct was very dangerous and that hack was
removed a while ago.

But there was a check to make sure the buffer_page never became bigger
than the page struct, and would fail the compile if it did. The
check was only meaningful when we had the hack. Now that we have separate
allocated descriptors for the buffer pages, we can remove this check.

by PAGE_SIZE - BUF_PAGE_SIZE, when we already have a macro

the rest of the page (this is done for debugging), then we break

00e95830a4 tracing/filters: fix race between filter setting and module unload
Module unload is protected by event_mutex, while setting filter is
protected by filter_mutex. This leads to the race:

echo 'bar == 0 || bar == 10' \    |
		> sample/filter   |
                                  |  insmod sample.ko
  add_pred("bar == 0")            |
    -> n_preds == 1               |
  add_pred("bar == 100")          |
    -> n_preds == 2               |
                                  |  rmmod sample.ko
                                  |  insmod sample.ko
  add_pred("&&")                  |
    -> n_preds == 1 (should be 3) |

Now event->filter->preds is corrupted. An then when filter_match_preds()
is called, the WARN_ON() in it will be triggered.

To avoid the race, we remove filter_mutex, and replace it with event_mutex.

fa7439531d ring-buffer: use commit counters for commit pointer accounting
The ring buffer is made up of three sets of pointers.

The head page pointer, which points to the next page for the reader to
get.

The commit pointer and commit index, which points to the page and index
of the last committed write respectively.

The tail pointer and tail index, which points to the page and the index
of the last reserved data respectively (non committed).

The commit pointer is only moved forward by the outer most writer.
If a nested writer comes in, it will not move the pointer forward.

The current implementation has a flaw. It assumes that the outer most
writer successfully reserved data. There's a small race window where
the outer most writer could find the tail pointer, but a nested
writer could come in (via interrupt) and move the tail forward, and
even the commit forward.

The outer writer would not realized the commit moved forward and the
accounting will break.

This patch changes the design to use counters in the per cpu buffers
to keep track of commits. The counters are incremented at the start
of the commit, and decremented at the end. If the end commit counter
is 1, then it moves the commit pointers. A loop is made to check for
races between checking and moving the commit pointers. Only the outer
commit should move the pointers anyway.

The test of knowing if a reserve is equal to the last commit update
is still needed to know for time keeping. The time code is much less
racey than the commit updates.

This change not only solves the mentioned race, but also makes the
code simpler.

  ring-buffer: prevent adding write in discarded area

The ring buffer may now add discarded events when a write passes
the end of a buffer page. Before, a discarded event was only added
when the tracer deliberately created one. The ring buffer benchmark
test does not handle discarded events when it reads the buffer and
fails when it encounters one.

Also fix the increment for large data entries (luckily, the test did
not add any yet).

And, three directory names(ex:/debug/, /debugfs/, /sys/kernel/debug/) is
existed in kernel source like ftrace, DRM, Wireless, Documentation,
Network[sky2]files to mount debugfs filesystem.

debugfs means debug filesystem for debugging easy to use by greg kroah

of debugfs filesystem.

c7b0930857 ring-buffer: prevent adding write in discarded area
This a very tight race where an interrupt could come in and not
have enough data to put into the end of a buffer page, and that
it would fail to write and need to go to the next page.

But if this happened when another writer was about to reserver
their data, and that writer has smaller data to reserve, then
it could succeed even though the interrupt moved the tail page.

To pervent that, if we fail to store data, and by subtracting the
amount we reserved we still have room for smaller data, we need
to fill that space with "discarded" data.

TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define tracepoints. Doing so adds

  - binary tracing without printf overhead
  - structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events
  - trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins
  - user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions
  ...

Cons:

  - no dev_t info for the output of plug, unplug_timer and unplug_io events.
    no dev_t info for getrq and sleeprq events if bio == NULL.
    no dev_t info for rq_abort,...,rq_requeue events if rq->rq_disk == NULL.

    This is mainly because we can't get the deivce from a request queue.
    But this may change in the future.

  - A packet command is converted to a string in TP_assign, not TP_print.
    While blktrace do the convertion just before output.

    Since pc requests should be rather rare, this is not a big issue.

  - In blktrace, an event can have 2 different print formats, but a TRACE_EVENT
    has a unique format, which means we have some unused data in a trace entry.

    The overhead is minimized by using __dynamic_array() instead of __array().

I've benchmarked the ioctl blktrace vs the splice based TRACE_EVENT tracing:

      dd                   dd + ioctl blktrace       dd + TRACE_EVENT (splice)
1     7.36s, 42.7 MB/s     7.50s, 42.0 MB/s          7.41s, 42.5 MB/s
2     7.43s, 42.3 MB/s     7.48s, 42.1 MB/s          7.43s, 42.4 MB/s
3     7.38s, 42.6 MB/s     7.45s, 42.2 MB/s          7.41s, 42.5 MB/s

So the overhead of tracing is very small, and no regression when using
those trace events vs blktrace.

And the binary output of TRACE_EVENT is much smaller than blktrace:

 # ls -l -h
 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.8M 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.0
 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 195K 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.1

The ring buffer is a generic structure, and can be used outside of
ftrace. If ftrace traces within the use of the ring buffer, it can produce
false positives with lockdep.

This patch passes in a static lock key into the allocation of the ring
buffer, so that different ring buffers will have their own lock class.

563af16c30 tracing: add annotation to what type of stack trace is recorded
The current method of printing out a stack trace is to add a new line
and print out the trace:

    yum-updatesd-3120  [002]   573.691303:
 => do_softirq
 => irq_exit
 => smp_apic_timer_interrupt
 => apic_timer_interrupt

This looks a bit awkward, and if we have both stack and user stack traces
running, it would be nice to have a title to tell them apart, although
it is easy to tell by the output.

This patch adds an annotation to the start of the stack traces:

 => user_path_at

f11b3f4e29 tracing/events: fix output format of kernel stack
According to "events/ftrace/kernel_stack/format", output format of
kernel stack should use "=>" instead of "<=".

The second problem is that we shouldn't skip the first entry in the stack,
although it seems to be duplicated when used in the "function" tracer,
but events also use it. If we skip the first one, we will drop the topmost
entry of the stack.

The last problem is that if the last entry is ULONG_MAX(0xffffffff), we should
drop it, otherwise it will print a NULL name line.

The last entry in the stack_dump_trace is ULONG_MAX, which is not
a valid entry, but max_stack_trace.nr_entries has accounted for it.
So when printing the header, we should decrease it by one.
Before fix, print as following, for example:

	Depth    Size   Location    (53 entries)	<--- should be 52
	-----    ----   --------
  0)     3264     108   update_wall_time+0x4d5/0x9a0

 51)       80      80   syscall_call+0x7/0xb

ea05b57cc1 ring-buffer: discard timestamps that are at the start of the buffer
Every buffer page in the ring buffer includes its own time stamp.
When an event is recorded to the ring buffer with a delta time greater
than what can be held in the event header, a time stamp event is created.

If the the create timestamp falls over to the next buffer page, it is
redundant because the buffer page holds a full time stamp. This patch
will try to discard the time stamp when it falls to the start of the
next page.

This change also fixes a issues with disarding events. If most events are
discarded, timestamps will start to creep into the ring buffer. If we
do not discard the timestamps then they can fill up the ring buffer over
time and waste space.

This change will keep time stamps from filling up over another page. If
something is recorded in the buffer page, and the rest is filtered, then
the time stamps can only fill up to the end of the page.

a202355640 ring-buffer: fix bug in ring_buffer_discard_commit
There's a bug in ring_buffer_discard_commit.  The wrong
pointer is being compared in order to check if the event
can be freed from the buffer rather than discarded
(i.e. marked as PAD).

I noticed this when I was working on duration filtering.
The bug is not deadly - it just results in lots of wasted
space in the buffer.  All filtered events are left in
the buffer and marked as discarded, rather than being
removed from the buffer to make space for other events.

Unfortunately, when I fixed this bug, I got errors doing a
filtered function trace.  Multiple TIME_EXTEND
events pile up in the buffer, and trigger the
following loop overage warning in rb_iter_peek():

again:
	...
	if (RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, ++nr_loops > 10))
		return NULL;

I'm not sure what the best way is to fix this. I don't
know if I should extend the loop threshhold, or if I should
make the test more complex (ignore TIME_EXTEND
events), or just get rid of this loop check completely.

Note that if I implement a workaround for this, then I
see another problem from rb_advance_iter().  I haven't
tracked that one down yet.

In general, it seems like the case of removing filtered
events has not been working properly, and so some assumptions
about buffer invariant conditions need to be revisited.

Here's the patch for the simple fix:

Compare correct pointer for checking if an event can be
freed rather than left as discarded in the buffer.

82310a3272 function-graph: enable the stack after initialization of other variables
The function graph tracer checks if the task_struct has ret_stack defined
to know if it is OK or not to use it. The initialization is done for
all tasks by one process, but the idle tasks use the same initialization
used by new tasks.

If an interrupt happens on an idle task that just had the ret_stack
created, but before the rest of the initialization took place, then
we can corrupt the return address of the functions.

This patch moves the setting of the task_struct's ret_stack to after
the other variables have been initialized.

179c498ae2 function-graph: only allocate init tasks if it was not already done
When the function graph tracer is enabled, it calls the initialization
needed for the init tasks that would be called on all created tasks.

The problem is that this is called every time the function graph tracer
is enabled, and the ret_stack is allocated for the idle tasks each time.
Thus, the old ret_stack is lost and a memory leak is created.

This is also dangerous because if an interrupt happened on another CPU
with the init task and the ret_stack is replaced, we then lose all the
return pointers for the interrupt, and a crash would take place.

0f6ce3de4e ftrace: do not profile functions when disabled
A race was found that if one were to enable and disable the function
profiler repeatedly, then the system can panic. This was because a profiled
function may be preempted just before disabling interrupts. While
the profiler is disabled and then reenabled, the preempted function
could start again, and access the hash as it is being initialized.

This just adds a check in the irq disabled part to check if the profiler
is enabled, and if it is not then it will just exit.

When the system is disabled, the profile_enabled variable is cleared
before calling the unregistering of the function profiler. This
unregistering calls stop machine which also acts as a synchronize schedule.

  - a source string should be available, but we may just know the string size

We introduce __dynamic_array() to break those limitations, and __string()
becomes a wrapper of it. As a side effect, now __get_str() can be used
in TP_fast_assign but not only TP_print.

Take XFS for example, we have the string length in the dirent, but the
string itself is not NULL-terminated, so __dynamic_array() can be used:

TRACE_EVENT(xfs_dir2,
	TP_PROTO(struct xfs_da_args *args),
	TP_ARGS(args),

	TP_STRUCT__entry(
		__field(int, namelen)
		__dynamic_array(char, name, args->namelen + 1)
		...
	),

	TP_fast_assign(
		char *name = __get_str(name);

		if (args->namelen)
			memcpy(name, args->name, args->namelen);
		name[args->namelen] = '\0';

		__entry->namelen = args->namelen;
	),

	TP_printk("name %.*s namelen %d",
		  __entry->namelen ? __get_str(name) : NULL
		  __entry->namelen)
);

897f17a653 tracing: combine the default tracers into one config
Both event tracer and sched switch plugin are selected by default
by all generic tracers. But if no generic tracer is enabled, their options
appear. But ether one of them will select the other, thus it only
makes sense to have the default tracers be selected by one option.

5e0a093910 tracing: fix config options to not show when automatically selected
There are two options that are selected by all tracers, but we want
to have those options available when no tracer is selected. These are

 The event tracer and sched switch tracer.

The are enabled by all tracers, but if a tracer is not selected we want
the options to appear. All tracers including them select TRACING.
Thus what we would like to do is:

  config EVENT_TRACER
	bool "prompt"
	depends on TRACING
	select TRACING

But that gives us a bug in the kbuild system since we just created a
circular dependency. We only want the prompt to show when TRACING is off.

This patch adds GENERIC_TRACER that all tracers will select instead of
TRACING. The two options (sched switch and event tracer) will select
TRACING directly and depend on !GENERIC_TRACER. This solves the cicular
dependency.

2af15d6a44 ftrace: add kernel command line function filtering
When using ftrace=function on the command line to trace functions
on boot up, one can not filter out functions that are commonly called.

This patch adds two new ftrace command line commands.

  ftrace_notrace=function-list
  ftrace_filter=function-list

Where function-list is a comma separated list of functions to filter.
The ftrace_notrace will make the functions listed not be included
in the function tracing, and ftrace_filter will only trace the functions
listed.

These two act the same as the debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_notrace and
debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter respectively.

The simple glob expressions that are allowed by the filter files can also
be used by the command line interface.

	ftrace_notrace=rcu*,*lock,*spin*

Will not trace any function that starts with rcu, ends with lock, or has
the word spin in it.

Note, if the self tests are enabled, they may interfere with the filtering
set by the command lines.

b3dd7ba7d8 tracing/stat: change dummpy_cmp() to return -1

8f184f2730 tracing/stat: replace linked list by an rbtree for sorting
When the stat tracing framework prepares the entries from a tracer
to output them to the user, it starts by computing a linear sort
through a linked list to give the entries ordered by relevance
to the user.

This is quite ugly and causes a small latency when we begin to
read the file.

This patch changes that by turning the linked list into a red-black
tree. Athough the whole iteration using the start and next tracer
callbacks while opening the file remain the same, it is now much
more fast and scalable.

The rbtree guarantees O(log(n)) insertions whereas a linked
list with linear sorting brought us a O(n) despair. Now the
(visible) latency has disapeared.

TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define tracepoints.
Doing so adds these new capabilities to the tracepoints:

  - zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing
  - binary tracing without printf overhead
  - structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events
  - trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins
  - user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions

Then, this patch converts DEFINE_TRACE to TRACE_EVENT in workqueue related
tracepoints.

be74b73a57 tracing: add __print_flags for events
Developers have been asking for the ability in the ftrace event tracer
to display names of bits in a flags variable.

Instead of printing out c2, it would be easier to read FOO|BAR|GOO,
assuming that FOO is bit 1, BAR is bit 6 and GOO is bit 7.

Some examples where this would be useful are the state flags in a context
switch, kmalloc flags, and even permision flags in accessing files.

[
  v2 changes include:

  Frederic Weisbecker's idea of using a mask instead of bits,
  thus we can output GFP_KERNEL instead of GPF_WAIT|GFP_IO|GFP_FS.

  Li Zefan's idea of allowing the caller of __print_flags to add their
  own delimiter (or no delimiter) where we can get for file permissions
  rwx instead of r|w|x.

4f5359685a tracing: add trace_event_read_lock()
I found that there is nothing to protect event_hash in
ftrace_find_event(). Rcu protects the event hashlist
but not the event itself while we use it after its extraction
through ftrace_find_event().

This lack of a proper locking in this spot opens a race
window between any event dereferencing and module removal.

Eg:

--Task A--

print_trace_line(trace) {
  event = find_ftrace_event(trace)

--Task B--

trace_module_remove_events(mod) {
  list_trace_events_module(ev, mod) {
    unregister_ftrace_event(ev->event) {
      hlist_del(ev->event->node)
        list_del(....)
    }
  }
}
|--> module removed, the event has been dropped

--Task A--

  event->print(trace); // Dereferencing freed memory

If the event retrieved belongs to a module and this module
is concurrently removed, we may end up dereferencing a data
from a freed module.

RCU could solve this, but it would add latency to the kernel and
forbid tracers output callbacks to call any sleepable code.
So this fix converts 'trace_event_mutex' to a read/write semaphore,
and adds trace_event_read_lock() to protect ftrace_find_event().

5537937696 ftrace: fix check for return value of register_module_notifier in event_trace_init
register_module_notifier() returns zero in the success case.
So fix the inverted fail case check in trace events modules
handler.

[ Impact: fix spurious warning on ftrace initialization]

fd51d251e4 blktrace: remove debugfs entries on bad path
debugfs directory entries for devices are not removed on some
of the failure pathes in do_blk_trace_setup().
One way to reproduce is to start blktrace on multiple devices
with insufficient Vmalloc space: Devices will fail with
a message like this:

	BLKTRACESETUP(2) /dev/sdu failed: 5/Input/output error

If so, the respective entries in debugfs
(e.g. /sys/kernel/debug/block/sdu) will remain and subsequent
attempts to start blktrace on the respective devices will not
succeed due to existing directories.

1ec7c4849c tracing: stop stack trace on first empty entry
The stack tracer stores eight entries in the ring buffer when an event
traces the stack. The output outputs all eight entries regardless of
how many entries were recorded.

This patch breaks out of the loop when a null entry is discovered.

[ Impact: only print the stack that is recorded ]

168b6b1d05 ring-buffer: move code around to remove some branches
This is a bit of micro-optimizations. But since the ring buffer is used
in tracing every function call, it is an extreme hot path. Every nanosecond
counts.

This change shows over 5% improvement in the ring-buffer-benchmark.

[ Impact: more efficient code ]

88eb012536 ring-buffer: use internal time stamp function
The ring_buffer_time_stamp that is exported adds a little more overhead
than is needed for using it internally. This patch adds an internal
timestamp function that can be inlined (a single line function)
and used internally for the ring buffer.
