      tracing: Remove comparing of NULL to va_list in trace_array_vprintk() · f2942487
      Carsten Emde authored 
      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 c13d2f7c and
re-installs the original mark_printk() mechanism.

      tracing: Fix function graph trace_pipe to properly display failed entries · be1eca39
      Jiri Olsa authored 
      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.

      tracing: Add full state to trace_seq · d184b31c
      Johannes Berg authored 
      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.

      tracing: Buffer the output of seq_file in case of filled buffer · a63ce5b3
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      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();

      tracing: Add pipe_close interface · c521efd1
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      An ftrace plugin can add a pipe_open interface when the user opens
trace_pipe. But if the plugin allocates something within the pipe_open
it can not free it because there exists no pipe_close. The hook to
the trace file open has a corresponding close. The closing of the
trace_pipe file should also have a corresponding close.

      x86, apic: Enable lapic nmi watchdog on AMD Family 11h · 7d1849af
      Mikael Pettersson authored 
      The x86 lapic nmi watchdog does not recognize AMD Family 11h,
resulting in:

  NMI watchdog: CPU not supported

As far as I can see from available documentation (the BKDM),
family 11h looks identical to family 10h as far as the PMU
is concerned.

Extending the check to accept family 11h results in:

  Testing NMI watchdog ... OK.

I've been running with this change on a Turion X2 Ultra ZM-82
laptop for a couple of weeks now without problems.

      GFS2: Fix glock refcount issues · 26bb7505
      Steven Whitehouse authored 
      This patch fixes some ref counting issues. Firstly by moving
the point at which we drop the ref count after a dlm lock
operation has completed we ensure that we never call
gfs2_glock_hold() on a lock with a zero ref count.

Secondly, by using atomic_dec_and_lock() in gfs2_glock_put()
we ensure that at no time will a glock with zero ref count
appear on the lru_list. That means that we can remove the
check for this in our shrinker (which was racy).

      GFS2: drop rindex glock to refresh rindex list · 9ae3c6de
      Benjamin Marzinski authored 
      When a gfs2 filesystem is grown, it needs to rebuild the rindex list to be able
to use the new space.  gfs2 does this when the rindex is marked not uptodate,
which happens when the rindex glock is dropped.  However, on a single node
setup, there is never any reason to drop the rindex glock, so gfs2 never
invalidates the the rindex. This patch makes gfs2 automatically drop the
rindex glock after filesystem grows, so it can refresh the rindex list.

      GFS2: Tag all metadata with jid · 0ab7d13f
      Steven Whitehouse authored 
      There are two spare field in the header common to all GFS2
metadata. One is just the right size to fit a journal id
in it, and this patch updates the journal code so that each
time a metadata block is modified, we tag it with the journal
id of the node which is performing the modification.

The reason for this is that it should make it much easier to
debug issues which arise if we can tell which node was the
last to modify a particular metadata block.

Since the field is updated before the block is written into
the journal, each journal should only contain metadata which
is tagged with its own journal id. The one exception to this
is the journal header block, which might have a different node's
id in it, if that journal was recovered by another node in the
cluster.

Thus each journal will contain a record of which nodes recovered
it, via the journal header.

The other field in the metadata header could potentially be
used to hold information about what kind of operation was
performed, but for the time being we just zero it on each
transaction so that if we use it for that in future, we'll
know that the information (where it exists) is reliable.

I did consider using the other field to hold the journal
sequence number, however since in GFS2's journaling we write
the modified data into the journal and not the original
data, this gives no information as to what action caused the
modification, so I think we can probably come up with a better
use for those 64 bits in the future.
