      tracing: use union for multi-usages field · ee000b7f
      Lai Jiangshan authored 
      Impact: cleanup

struct dyn_ftrace::ip has different usages in his lifecycle,
we use union for it. And also for struct dyn_ftrace::flags.

      ftrace: show virtual PID · cc59c9e8
      Lai Jiangshan authored 
      Impact: fix PID output under namespaces

When current namespace is not the global namespace,
pid read from set_ftrace_pid is no correct.

 # ~/newpid_namespace_run bash
 # echo $$
 1
 # echo 1 > set_ftrace_pid
 # cat set_ftrace_pid
 3756

Since we write virtual PID to set_ftrace_pid, we need get
virtual PID when we read it.

      function-graph: add option for include sleep times · be6f164a
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      Impact: give user a choice to show times spent while sleeping

The user may want to see the time a function spent sleeping.
This patch adds the trace option "sleep-time" to allow that.
The "sleep-time" option is default on.

 echo sleep-time > /debug/tracing/trace_options

produces:

 ------------------------------------------
 2)  avahi-d-3428  =>    <idle>-0
 ------------------------------------------

 2)               |      finish_task_switch() {
 2)   0.621 us    |        _spin_unlock_irq();
 2)   2.202 us    |      }
 2) ! 1002.197 us |    }
 2) ! 1003.521 us |  }

where as,

 echo nosleep-time > /debug/tracing/trace_options

produces:

 0)    <idle>-0    =>  yum-upd-3416
 ------------------------------------------

 0)               |              finish_task_switch() {

      function-graph: ignore times across schedule · 8aef2d28
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      Impact: more accurate timings

The current method of function graph tracing does not take into
account the time spent when a task is not running. This shows functions
that call schedule have increased costs:

 3) + 18.664 us   |      }
 ------------------------------------------
 3)    <idle>-0    =>  kblockd-123
 ------------------------------------------

 3)               |      finish_task_switch() {
 3)   1.441 us    |        _spin_unlock_irq();
 3)   3.966 us    |      }
 3) ! 2959.433 us |    }
 3) ! 2961.465 us |  }

This patch uses the tracepoint in the scheduling context switch to
account for time that has elapsed while a task is scheduled out.
Now we see:

 ------------------------------------------
 3)    <idle>-0    =>  edac-po-1067
 ------------------------------------------

 3)               |      finish_task_switch() {
 3)   0.685 us    |        _spin_unlock_irq();
 3)   2.331 us    |      }
 3) + 41.439 us   |    }
 3) + 42.663 us   |  }

      function-graph: prevent more than one tracer registering · 05ce5818
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      Impact: prevent crash due to multiple function graph tracers

The function graph tracer can currently only handle a single tracer
being registered. If another tracer registers with the function
graph tracer it can crash the system.

      tracing: fix memory leak in trace_stat · 09833521
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      If the function profiler does not have any items recorded and one were
to cat the function stat file, the kernel would take a BUG with a NULL
pointer dereference.

Looking further into this, I found that returning NULL from stat_start
did not stop the stat logic, and would later call stat_next. This breaks
from the way seq_file works, so I looked into fixing the stat code.

This is where I noticed that the last next_entry is never freed.
It is allocated, and if the stat_next returns NULL, the code breaks out
of the loop, unlocks the mutex and exits. We never link the next_entry
nor do we free it. Thus it is a real memory leak.

This patch rearranges the code a bit to not only fix the memory leak,
but also to act more like seq_file where nothing is printed if there
is nothing to print. That is, stat_start returns NULL.

      tracing: Fix TRACING_SUPPORT dependency for PPC32 · 45b95608
      Anton Vorontsov authored 
      commit 40ada30f ("tracing: clean up menu"),
despite the "clean up" in its purpose, introduced a behavioural
change for Kconfig symbols: we no longer able to select tracing
support on PPC32 (because IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT isn't yet implemented).

The IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT is not mandatory for most tracers, tracing core
has a special case for platforms w/o irqflags (which, by the way, has
become useless as of the commit above).

Though according to Ingo Molnar, there was periodic build failures on
weird, unmaintained architectures that had no irqflags-tracing support
and hence didn't know the raw_irqs_save/restore primitives. Thus we'd
better not enable irqflags-less tracing for all architectures.

This patch restores the old behaviour for PPC32, and thus brings the
tracing back. Other architectures can either add themselves to the
exception list or (better) implement TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT.

      tracing/ftrace: check if debugfs is registered before creating files · 3e1f60b8
      Frederic Weisbecker authored 
      Impact: fix a crash with ftrace={nop,boot} parameter

If the nop or initcall tracers are launched as boot tracers,
they will attempt to create their option directory and files.
But these tracers are registered very early and then assigned
as "boot tracers" very early if asked to.

Since they do this before debugfs has been registered (core initcall),
a crash is triggered.

Another early tracers could also come later. So we fix it by
checking if debugfs is initialized before creating the root
tracing directory.

      debugfs: function to know if debugfs is initialized · c0f92ba9
      Frederic Weisbecker authored 
      Impact: add new debugfs API

With ftrace, some tracers are registered in early initcalls
and attempt to create files on the debugfs filesystem.
Depending on when they are activated, they can try to create their
file at any time. Some checks can be done on the tracing area
but providing a helper to know if debugfs is registered make it
really more easy.

      tracing: keep the tracing buffer after self-test failure · 0cf53ff6

      Instead of using ftrace_dump_on_oops, it's far more convenient
to have the trace leading up to a self-test failure available
in /debug/tracing/trace.

      tracing/function-graph-tracer: prevent hangs during self-tests · cf586b61
      Frederic Weisbecker authored 
      Impact: detect tracing related hangs

Sometimes, with some configs, the function graph tracer can make
the timer interrupt too much slow, hanging the kernel in an endless
loop of timer interrupts servicing.

As suggested by Ingo, this patch brings a watchdog which stops the
selftest after a defined number of functions traced, definitely
disabling this tracer.

For those who want to debug the cause of the function graph trace
hang, you can pass the ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter to dump
the traces after this hang detection.

      tracing/ring-buffer: don't annotate rb_cpu_notify with __cpuinit · 09c9e84d
      Frederic Weisbecker authored 
      Impact: remove a section warning

CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH raises the following warning on -tip:

  WARNING: kernel/trace/built-in.o(.text+0x5bc5): Section mismatch in
  reference from the function ring_buffer_alloc() to the function
  .cpuinit.text:rb_cpu_notify()
  The function ring_buffer_alloc() references
  the function __cpuinit rb_cpu_notify().

This is actually harmless. The code in the ring buffer don't build
rb_cpu_notify and other cpu hotplug stuffs when !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
so we have no risk to reference freed memory here (it would even
be harmless if we unconditionally build it because register_cpu_notifier
would do nothing when !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.

But since ring_buffer_alloc() can be called everytime, we don't want it
to be annotated with __cpuinit so we drop the __cpuinit from
rb_cpu_notify.

This is not a waste of memory because it is only defined and used on
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.
