If the read loop in trace_buffers_splice_read() keeps failing due to
memory allocation failures without reading even a single page then this
function will keep busy looping.
Remove the risk for that by exiting the function if memory allocation
failures are seen.

The problem is this: tracing_buffers_splice_read() calls
ring_buffer_wait() to wait for data in the ring buffers. The buffers
are not empty so ring_buffer_wait() returns immediately. But
tracing_buffers_splice_read() calls ring_buffer_read_page() with full=1,
meaning it only wants to read a full page. When the full page is not
available, tracing_buffers_splice_read() tries to wait again with
ring_buffer_wait(), which again returns immediately, and so on.
Fix this by adding a "full" argument to ring_buffer_wait() which will
make ring_buffer_wait() wait until the writer has left the reader's
page, i.e. until full-page reads will succeed.

When modifying code, ftrace has several checks to make sure things
are being done correctly. One of them is to make sure any code it
modifies is exactly what it expects it to be before it modifies it.
In order to do so with the new trampoline logic, it must be able
to find out what trampoline a function is hooked to in order to
see if the code that hooks to it is what's expected.
The logic to find the trampoline from a record (accounting descriptor
for a function that is hooked) needs to only look at the "old_hash"
of an ops that is being modified. The old_hash is the list of function
an ops is hooked to before its update. Since a record would only be
pointing to an ops that is being modified if it was already hooked
before.
Currently, it can pick a modified ops based on its new functions it
will be hooked to, and this picks the wrong trampoline and causes
the check to fail, disabling ftrace.

ftrace: squash into ordering of ops for modification
The code that checks for trampolines when modifying function hooks
tests against a modified ops "old_hash". But the ops old_hash pointer
is not being updated before the changes are made, making it possible
to not find the right hash to the callback and possibly causing
ftrace to break in accounting and disable itself.
Have the ops set its old_hash before the modifying takes place.

of the trampoline logic.
The trampoline logic of 3.17 required a descriptor for every function
that is registered to be traced and uses a trampoline. Currently,
only the function graph tracer uses a trampoline, but if you were
to trace all 32,000 (give or take a few thousand) functions with the
function graph tracer, it would create 32,000 descriptors to let us
know that there's a trampoline associated with it. This takes up a bit

The redesign now reuses the ftrace_ops' (what registers the function graph
tracer) hash tables. The hash tables tell ftrace what the tracer
wants to trace or doesn't want to trace. There's two of them: one
that tells us what to trace, the other tells us what not to trace.
If the first one is empty, it means all functions should be traced,
otherwise only the ones that are listed should be. The second hash table
tells us what not to trace, and if it is empty, all functions may be
traced, and if there's any listed, then those should not be traced
even if they exist in the first hash table.
It took a bit of massaging, but now these hashes can be used to
keep track of what has a trampoline and what does not, and allows
the ftrace accounting to work. Now we can trace all functions when using
the function graph trampoline, and avoid needing to create any special
descriptors to hold all the functions that are being traced.

Commit 651e22f270 "ring-buffer: Always reset iterator to reader page"
fixed one bug but in the process caused another one. The reset is to
update the header page, but that fix also changed the way the cached
reads were updated. The cache reads are used to test if an iterator
needs to be updated or not.
A ring buffer iterator, when created, disables writes to the ring buffer
but does not stop other readers or consuming reads from happening.
Although all readers are synchronized via a lock, they are only
synchronized when in the ring buffer functions. Those functions may
be called by any number of readers. The iterator continues down when
its not interrupted by a consuming reader. If a consuming read
occurs, the iterator starts from the beginning of the buffer.
The way the iterator sees that a consuming read has happened since
its last read is by checking the reader "cache". The cache holds the
last counts of the read and the reader page itself.
Commit 651e22f270 changed what was saved by the cache_read when
the rb_iter_reset() occurred, making the iterator never match the cache.
Then if the iterator calls rb_iter_reset(), it will go into an
infinite loop by checking if the cache doesn't match, doing the reset
and retrying, just to see that the cache still doesn't match! Which
should never happen as the reset is suppose to set the cache to the
current value and there's locks that keep a consuming reader from
having access to the data.

Allowing function callbacks to declare their own trampolines requires
that each ftrace_ops that has a trampoline must have some sort of
accounting that keeps track of which ops has a trampoline attached
to a record.
The easy way to solve this was to add a "tramp_hash" that created a
hash entry for every function that a ops uses with a trampoline.
But since we can have literally tens of thousands of functions being
traced, that means we need tens of thousands of descriptors to map
the ops to the function in the hash. This is quite expensive and
can cause enabling and disabling the function graph tracer to take
some time to start and stop. It can take up to several seconds to
disable or enable all functions in the function graph tracer for this
reason.
The better approach albeit more complex, is to keep track of how ops
are being enabled and disabled, and use that along with the counting
of the number of ops attached to records, to determive what ops has
a trampoline attached to a record at enabling and disabling of
tracing.
To do this, the tramp_hash has been replaced with an old_filter_hash
and old_notrace_hash, which get the copy of the ops filter_hash and
notrace_hash respectively. The old hashes is kept until the ops has
been modified or removed and the old hashes are used with the logic
of the accounting to determine the ops that have the trampoline of
a record. The reason this has less of a footprint is due to the trick
that an "empty" hash in the filter_hash means "all functions" and
an empty hash in the notrace hash means "no functions" in the hash.
This is much more efficienct, doesn't have the delay, and takes up
much less memory, as we do not need to map all the functions but
just figure out which functions are mapped at the time it is
enabled or disabled.

Add three new flags for ftrace_ops:
FTRACE_OPS_FL_ADDING
FTRACE_OPS_FL_REMOVING
FTRACE_OPS_FL_MODIFYING
These will be set for the ftrace_ops when they are first added
to the function tracing, being removed from function tracing
or just having their functions changed from function tracing,
respectively.
This will be needed to remove the tramp_hash, which can grow quite
big. The tramp_hash is used to note what functions a ftrace_ops
is using a trampoline for. Denoting which ftrace_ops is being
modified, will allow us to use the ftrace_ops hashes themselves,
which are much smaller as they have a global flag to denote if
a ftrace_ops is tracing all functions, as well as a notrace hash
if the ftrace_ops is tracing all but a few. The tramp_hash just
creates a hash item for every function, which can go into the 10s
of thousands if all functions are using the ftrace_ops trampoline.

ftrace_hash_move() currently frees the old hash that is passed to it
after replacing the pointer with the new hash. Instead of having the
function do that chore, have the caller perform the free.
This lets the ftrace_hash_move() be used a bit more freely, which
is needed for changing the way the trampoline logic is done.

The clean up that adds the helper function ftrace_ops_get_func()
caused the default function to not change when DYNAMIC_FTRACE was not
set and no ftrace_ops were registered. Although static tracing is
not very useful (not having DYNAMIC_FTRACE set), it is still supported
and we don't want to break it.
Clean up the if statement even more to specifically have the default
function call ftrace_stub when no ftrace_ops are registered. This
fixes the small bug for static tracing as well as makes the code a
bit more understandable.

Add the helper function to what the mcount trampoline is to call
for a ftrace_ops function. This helper will be used by arch code
in the future to set up dynamic trampolines. But as this does the
same tests that are performed in choosing what function to call for
the default mcount trampoline, might as well use it to clean up
the existing code.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Instead of using the generic list function for callbacks that
are not recursive, call a new helper function from the mcount
trampoline called ftrace_ops_recur_func() that will do the recursion
checking for the callback.
This eliminates an indirection as well as will help in future code
that will use dynamically allocated trampolines.

Epoll on trace_pipe can sometimes hang in a weird case. If the ring buffer is
empty when we set waiters_pending but an event shows up exactly at that moment
we can miss being woken up by the ring buffers irq work. Since
ring_buffer_empty() is inherently racey we will sometimes think that the buffer
is not empty. So we don't get woken up and we don't think there are any events
even though there were some ready when we added the watch, which makes us hang.
This patch fixes this by making sure that we are actually on the wait list
before we set waiters_pending, and add a memory barrier to make sure
ring_buffer_empty() is going to be correct.

In __ftrace_replace_code(), when converting the call to a nop in a function
it needs to compare against the "curr" (current) value of the ftrace ops, and
not the "new" one. It currently does not affect x86 which is the only arch
to do the trampolines with function graph tracer, but when other archs that do
depend on this code implement the function graph trampoline, it can crash.
Here's an example when ARM uses the trampolines (in the future):

The latest rewrite of ftrace removed the separate ftrace_ops of
the function tracer and the function graph tracer and had them
share the same ftrace_ops. This simplified the accounting by removing
the multiple layers of functions called, where the global_ops func
would call a special list that would iterate over the other ops that
were registered within it (like function and function graph), which
itself was registered to the ftrace ops list of all functions
currently active. If that sounds confusing, the code that implemented
it was also confusing and its removal is a good thing.
The problem with this change was that it assumed that the function
and function graph tracer can never be used at the same time.
This is mostly true, but there is an exception. That is when the
function profiler uses the function graph tracer to profile.
The function profiler can be activated the same time as the function
tracer, and this breaks the assumption and the result is that ftrace
will crash (it detects the error and shuts itself down, it does not
cause a kernel oops).
To solve this issue, a previous change allowed the hash tables
for the functions traced by a ftrace_ops to be a pointer and let
multiple ftrace_ops share the same hash. This allows the function
and function_graph tracer to have separate ftrace_ops, but still
share the hash, which is what is done.
Now the function and function graph tracers have separate ftrace_ops
again, and the function tracer can be run while the function_profile
is active.

Now that a ftrace_hash can be shared by multiple ftrace_ops, they can dec
the rec->flags by more than once (one per those that share the ftrace_hash).
This means that the tramp_hash may not have a hash item when it was added.
For example, if two ftrace_ops share a hash for a ftrace record, and the
first ops has a trampoline, when it adds itself it will set the rec->flags
TRAMP flag and increments its nr_trampolines counter. When the second ops
is added, it must clear that tramp flag but also decrement the other ops
that shares its hash. As the update to the function callbacks has not yet
been performed, the other ops will not have the tramp hash set yet and it
can not be used to know to decrement its nr_trampolines.
Luckily, the tramp_hash does not need to be used. As the ftrace_mutex is
held, a ops with a trampoline to a record during an update of another ops
that shares the record will have its func_hash pointing to it. Since a
trampoline can only be set for a record if only one ops is attached to it,
we can just check if the record has a trampoline (the FTRACE_FL_TRAMP flag
is set) and then find the ops that has this record in its hashes.
Also added some output to help debug when things go wrong.

Currently the top level debug file system function tracer shares its
ftrace_ops with the function graph tracer. This was thought to be fine
because the tracers are not used together, as one can only enable
function or function_graph tracer in the current_tracer file.
But that assumption proved to be incorrect. The function profiler
can use the function graph tracer when function tracing is enabled.
Since all function graph users uses the function tracing ftrace_ops
this causes a conflict and when a user enables both function profiling
as well as the function tracer it will crash ftrace and disable it.
The quick solution so far is to move them as separate ftrace_ops like
it was earlier. The problem though is to synchronize the functions that
are traced because both function and function_graph tracer are limited
by the selections made in the set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace
files.
To handle this, a new structure is made called ftrace_ops_hash. This
structure will now hold the filter_hash and notrace_hash, and the
ftrace_ops will point to this structure. That will allow two ftrace_ops
to share the same hashes.
Since most ftrace_ops do not share the hashes, and to keep allocation
simple, the ftrace_ops structure will include both a pointer to the
ftrace_ops_hash called func_hash, as well as the structure itself,
called local_hash. When the ops are registered, the func_hash pointer
will be initialized to point to the local_hash within the ftrace_ops
structure. Some of the ftrace internal ftrace_ops will be initialized
statically. This will allow for the function and function_graph tracer
to have separate ops but still share the same hash tables that determine
what functions they trace.

rarely ever hit, and requires the user to do something that users rarely
do. It took a few special test cases to even trigger this bug,
and one of them was just one test in the process of finishing up as another
one started.
Both bugs have to do with the ring buffer iterator rb_iter_peek(), but one
is more indirect than the other.
The fist bug fix is simply an increase in the safety net loop counter.
The counter makes sure that the rb_iter_peek() only iterates the number
of times we expect it can, and no more. Well, there was one way it could
iterate one more than we expected, and that caused the ring buffer
to shutdown with a nasty warning. The fix was simply to up that counter by
one.
The other bug has to be with rb_iter_reset() (called by rb_iter_peek()).
This happens when a user reads both the trace_pipe and trace files.
The trace_pipe is a consuming read and does not use the ring buffer
iterator, but the trace file is not a consuming read and does use the
ring buffer iterator. When the trace file is being read, if it detects
that a consuming read occurred, it resets the iterator and starts over.
But the reset code that does this (rb_iter_reset()), checks if the
reader_page is linked to the ring buffer or not, and will look into
the ring buffer itself if it is not. This is wrong, as it should always
try to read the reader page first. Not to mention, the code that looked
into the ring buffer did it wrong, and used the header_page "read" offset
to start reading on that page. That offset is bogus for pages in the
writable ring buffer, and was corrupting the iterator, and it would start
returning bogus events.

ring-buffer: Always reset iterator to reader page
ring-buffer: Up rb_iter_peek() loop count to 3
When performing a consuming read, the ring buffer swaps out a
page from the ring buffer with a empty page and this page that
was swapped out becomes the new reader page. The reader page
is owned by the reader and since it was swapped out of the ring
buffer, writers do not have access to it (there's an exception
to that rule, but it's out of scope for this commit).
When reading the "trace" file, it is a non consuming read, which
means that the data in the ring buffer will not be modified.
When the trace file is opened, a ring buffer iterator is allocated
and writes to the ring buffer are disabled, such that the iterator
will not have issues iterating over the data.
Although the ring buffer disabled writes, it does not disable other
reads, or even consuming reads. If a consuming read happens, then
the iterator is reset and starts reading from the beginning again.

Which was the __trace_find_cmdline() function complaining about the pid
in the event record being negative.
After adding more test cases, this would trigger more often. Strangely
enough, it would never trigger on a single test, but instead would trigger
only when running all the tests. I believe that was the case because it
required one of the tests to be shutting down via delayed instances while
a new test started up.
After spending several days debugging this, I found that it was caused by
the iterator becoming corrupted. Debugging further, I found out why
the iterator became corrupted. It happened with the rb_iter_reset().
As consuming reads may not read the full reader page, and only part
of it, there's a "read" field to know where the last read took place.
The iterator, must also start at the read position. In the rb_iter_reset()
code, if the reader page was disconnected from the ring buffer, the iterator
would start at the head page within the ring buffer (where writes still
happen). But the mistake there was that it still used the "read" field
to start the iterator on the head page, where it should always start
at zero because readers never read from within the ring buffer where
writes occur.
I originally wrote a patch to have it set the iter->head to 0 instead
of iter->head_page->read, but then I questioned why it wasn't always
setting the iter to point to the reader page, as the reader page is
still valid. The list_empty(reader_page->list) just means that it was
successful in swapping out. But the reader_page may still have data.
There was a bug report a long time ago that was not reproducible that
had something about trace_pipe (consuming read) not matching trace
(iterator read). This may explain why that happened.
Anyway, the correct answer to this bug is to always use the reader page
an not reset the iterator to inside the writable ring buffer.

Debugging this bug, which triggers when the rb_iter_peek() loops too
many times (more than 2 times), I discovered there's a case that can
cause that function to legitimately loop 3 times!
rb_iter_peek() is different than rb_buffer_peek() as the rb_buffer_peek()
only deals with the reader page (it's for consuming reads). The
rb_iter_peek() is for traversing the buffer without consuming it, and as
such, it can loop for one more reason. That is, if we hit the end of
the reader page or any page, it will go to the next page and try again.
That is, we have this:
1. iter->head > iter->head_page->page->commit
(rb_inc_iter() which moves the iter to the next page)
try again
2. event = rb_iter_head_event()
event->type_len == RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTEND
rb_advance_iter()
try again
3. read the event.
But we never get to 3, because the count is greater than 2 and we
cause the WARNING and return NULL.
Up the counter to 3.

to the ftrace function callback infrastructure. It's introducing a
way to allow different functions to call directly different trampolines
instead of all calling the same "mcount" one.
The only user of this for now is the function graph tracer, which always
had a different trampoline, but the function tracer trampoline was called
and did basically nothing, and then the function graph tracer trampoline
was called. The difference now, is that the function graph tracer
trampoline can be called directly if a function is only being traced by
the function graph trampoline. If function tracing is also happening on
the same function, the old way is still done.
The accounting for this takes up more memory when function graph tracing
is activated, as it needs to keep track of which functions it uses.
I have a new way that wont take as much memory, but it's not ready yet
for this merge window, and will have to wait for the next one.
Another big change was the removal of the ftrace_start/stop() calls that
were used by the suspend/resume code that stopped function tracing when
entering into suspend and resume paths. The stop of ftrace was done
because there was some function that would crash the system if one called
smp_processor_id()! The stop/start was a big hammer to solve the issue
at the time, which was when ftrace was first introduced into Linux.
Now ftrace has better infrastructure to debug such issues, and I found
the problem function and labeled it with "notrace" and function tracing
can now safely be activated all the way down into the guts of suspend
and resume.
Other changes include clean ups of uprobe code.
Clean up of the trace_seq() code.
And other various small fixes and clean ups to ftrace and tracing.

There's no need to check cloned event's permission once the
parent was already checked.
Also the code is checking 'current' process permissions, which
is not owner process for cloned events, thus could end up with
wrong permission check result.

In the loop of ftrace_save_ops_tramp_hash(), it adds all the recs
to the ops hash if the rec has only one callback attached and the
ops is connected to the rec. It gives a nasty warning and shuts down
ftrace if the rec doesn't have a trampoline set for it. But this
can happen with the following scenario:
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
# echo schedule do_IRQ > set_ftrace_filter
# mkdir instances/foo
# echo schedule > instances/foo/set_ftrace_filter
# echo function_graph > current_function
# echo function > instances/foo/current_function
# echo nop > instances/foo/current_function
The above would then trigger the following warning and disable
ftrace:

The "uptime" trace clock added in:
commit 8aacf017b0
tracing: Add "uptime" trace clock that uses jiffies
has wraparound problems when the system has been up more
than 1 hour 11 minutes and 34 seconds. It converts jiffies
to nanoseconds using:
(u64)jiffies_to_usecs(jiffy) * 1000ULL
but since jiffies_to_usecs() only returns a 32-bit value, it
truncates at 2^32 microseconds. An additional problem on 32-bit
systems is that the argument is "unsigned long", so fixing the
return value only helps until 2^32 jiffies (49.7 days on a HZ=1000
system).
Avoid these problems by using jiffies_64 as our basis, and
not converting to nanoseconds (we do convert to clock_t because
user facing API must not be dependent on internal kernel
HZ values).

Currently, tracing_thresh works only if we specify it before selecting
function_graph tracer. If we do the opposite, tracing_thresh will change
it's value, but it will not be applied.
To fix it, we add update_thresh callback which is called whenever
tracing_thresh is updated and for function_graph tracer we register
handler which reinitializes tracer depending on tracing_thresh.

The code for resizing the trace ring buffers has to run the per-cpu

running the code for the current CPU directly, otherwise calling
schedule_work_on().
At least on RT this could result in the following:

If we just always use schedule_work_on(), there's no need for the
