Impact: add new tracing plugin which can trace full (entry+exit) function calls This tracer uses the low level function return ftrace plugin to measure the execution time of the kernel functions. The first field is the caller of the function, the second is the measured function, and the last one is the execution time in nanoseconds. - v3: - HAVE_FUNCTION_RET_TRACER have been added. Each arch that support ftrace return should enable it. - ftrace_return_stub becomes ftrace_stub. - CONFIG_FUNCTION_RET_TRACER depends now on CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER - Return traces printing can be used for other tracers on trace.c - Adapt to the new tracing API (no more ctrl_update callback) - Correct the check of "disabled" during insertion. - Minor changes...

Impact: add infrastructure for function-return tracing Add low level support for ftrace return tracing. This plug-in stores return addresses on the thread_info structure of the current task. The index of the current return address is initialized when the task is the first one (init) and when a process forks (the child). It is not needed when a task does a sys_execve because after this syscall, it still needs to return on the kernel functions it called. Note that the code of return_to_handler has been suggested by Steven Rostedt as almost all of the ideas of improvements in this V3. For purpose of security, arch/x86/kernel/process_32.c is not traced because __switch_to() changes the current task during its execution. That could cause inconsistency in the stored return address of this function even if I didn't have any crash after testing with tracing on this function enabled.

This patch replaces most of the BUG_ONs in the ring_buffer code with RB_WARN_ON variants. It adds some more variants as needed for the replacement. This lets the buffer die nicely and still warn the user. One BUG_ON remains in the code, and that is because it detects a bad pointer passed in by the calling function, and not a bug by the ring buffer code itself.

Impact: stop ftrace_special from recursion The ftrace_special is used to help debug areas of the kernel. Because of this, if it is put in certain locations, the fact that it allows recursion can become a problem if the kernel developer using does not realize that. This patch changes ftrace_special to not allow recursion into itself to make it more robust. It also changes from preempt disable interrupts disable to prevent any loss of trace entries.

Impact: removal of unnecessary looping The lockless part of the ring buffer allows for reentry into the code from interrupts. A timestamp is taken, a test is preformed and if it detects that an interrupt occurred that did tracing, it tries again. The problem arises if the timestamp code itself causes a trace. The detection will detect this and loop again. The difference between this and an interrupt doing tracing, is that this will fail every time, and cause an infinite loop. Currently, we test if the loop happens 1000 times, and if so, it will produce a warning and disable the ring buffer. The problem with this approach is that it makes it difficult to perform some types of tracing (tracing the timestamp code itself). Each trace entry has a delta timestamp from the previous entry. If a trace entry is reserved but and interrupt occurs and traces before the previous entry is commited, the delta timestamp for that entry will be zero. This actually makes sense in terms of tracing, because the interrupt entry happened before the preempted entry was commited, so one may consider the two happening at the same time. The order is still preserved in the buffer. With this idea, instead of trying to get a new timestamp if an interrupt made it in between the timestamp and the test, the entry could simply make the delta zero and continue. This will prevent interrupts or tracers in the timer code from causing the above loop. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

Impact: fix for bug on resize This patch addresses the bug found here: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11996 When ftrace converted to the new unified trace buffer, the resizing of the buffer was not protected as much as it was originally. If tracing is performed while the resize occurs, then the buffer can be corrupted. This patch disables all ftrace buffer modifications before a resize takes place.

This patch reverts the following three commits which convert libata to use block layer tagging. 43a49cbd e013e13b 2fca5ccf Although using block layer tagging is the right direction, due to the tight coupling among tag number, data structure allocation and hardware command slot allocation, libata doesn't work correctly with the current conversion. The biggest problem is guaranteeing that tag 0 is always used for non-NCQ commands. Due to the way blk-tag is implemented and how SCSI starts and finishes requests, such guarantee can't be made. I'm not sure whether this would actually break any low level driver but it doesn't look like a good idea to break such assumption given the frailty of ATA controllers. So, for the time being, keep using the old dumb in-libata qc allocation.

The "Exclude staging drivers" question is there so that we don't build staging drivers for allyesconfig or allnoconfig settings, but it's very irritating when you've already said "no" to staging drivers earlier. There is absolutely no point in declining twice - once you've declined the staging drivers, you're done. So make the second question depend on the first question having been answered in the affirmative. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Commit 8d7c4203 "nfsd: fix failure to set eof in readdir in some situations" introduced a bug: on a directory in an exported ext3 filesystem with dir_index unset, a READDIR will only return about 250 entries, even if the directory was larger. Bisected it back to this commit; reverting it fixes the problem. It turns out that in this case ext3 reads a block at a time, then returns from readdir, which means we can end up with buf.full==0 but with more entries in the directory still to be read. Before 8d7c4203 (but after c002a6c7 "Optimise NFS readdir hack slightly"), this would cause us to return the READDIR result immediately, but with the eof bit unset. That could cause a performance regression (because the client would need more roundtrips to the server to read the whole directory), but no loss in correctness, since the cleared eof bit caused the client to send another readdir. After 8d7c4203, the setting of the eof bit made this a correctness problem. So, move nfserr_eof into the loop and remove the buf.full check so that we loop until buf.used==0. The following seems to do the right thing and reduces the network traffic since we don't return a READDIR result until the buffer is full. Tested on an empty directory & large directory; eof is properly sent and there are no more short buffers.

Previously I assumed that the receive queues of candidates don't change during the GC. This is only half true, nothing can be received from the queues (see comment in unix_gc()), but buffers could be added through the other half of the socket pair, which may still have file descriptors referring to it. This can result in inc_inflight_move_tail() erronously increasing the "inflight" counter for a unix socket for which dec_inflight() wasn't previously called. This in turn can trigger the "BUG_ON(total_refs < inflight_refs)" in a later garbage collection run. Fix this by only manipulating the "inflight" counter for sockets which are candidates themselves. Duplicating the file references in unix_attach_fds() is also needed to prevent a socket becoming a candidate for GC while the skb that contains it is not yet queued.

Currently, all existing users of cnt32_to_63() are fine since the CPU architectures where it is used don't do read access reordering, and user mode preemption is disabled already. It is nevertheless a good idea to better elaborate usage requirements wrt preemption, and use an explicit memory barrier on SMP to avoid different CPUs accessing the counter value in the wrong order. On UP a simple compiler barrier is sufficient.

Fix the __pfn_to_page(pfn) macro so that it doesn't evaluate its argument twice in the CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y case, because 'pfn' may be a result of a funtion call having side effects. For example, the hibernation code applies pfn_to_page(pfn) to the result of a function returning the pfn corresponding to the next set bit in a bitmap and the current bit position is modified on each call. This leads to "interesting" failures for CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y due to the current behavior of __pfn_to_page(pfn). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
