      ftrace: Fix up trampoline accounting with looping on hash ops · bce0b6c5
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored 
      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.

      ftrace: Update all ftrace_ops for a ftrace_hash_ops update · 84261912
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored 
      When updating what an ftrace_ops traces, if it is registered (that is,
actively tracing), and that ftrace_ops uses the shared global_ops
local_hash, then we need to update all tracers that are active and
also share the global_ops' ftrace_hash_ops.

      ftrace: Allow ftrace_ops to use the hashes from other ops · 33b7f99c
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored 
      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.
