52baf11922 ftrace: convert ftrace_lock from a spinlock to mutex
Impact: clean up

The older versions of ftrace required doing the ftrace list
search under atomic context. Now all the calls are in non-atomic
context. There is no reason to keep the ftrace_lock as a spinlock.

This patch converts it to a mutex.

f6180773d9 ftrace: add command interface for function selection
Allow for other tracers to add their own commands for function
selection. This interface gives a trace the ability to name a
command for function selection. Right now it is pretty limited
in what it offers, but this is a building step for more features.

The :mod: command is converted to this interface and also serves
as a template for other implementations.

e68746a271 ftrace: enable filtering only when a function is filtered on
Impact: fix to prevent empty set_ftrace_filter and no ftrace output

The function filter is used to only trace a given set of functions.
The filter is enabled when a function name is echoed into the
set_ftrace_filter file. But if the name has a typo and the function
is not found, the filter is enabled, but no function is listed.

This makes a confusing situation where set_ftrace_filter is empty
but no functions ever get enabled for tracing.

For example:

 # cat /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter

  #### all functions enabled ####

 # echo bad_name > set_ftrace_filter
 # cat /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter

 # echo function > current_tracer
 # cat trace

  # tracer: nop
  #
  #           TASK-PID    CPU#    TIMESTAMP  FUNCTION
  #              | |       |          |         |

This patch changes that to only enable filtering if a function
is set to be filtered on. Now, the filter is not enabled if
a bad name is echoed into set_ftrace_filter.

64e7c44061 ftrace: add module command function filter selection
This patch adds a "command" syntax to the function filtering files:

  /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
  /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_notrace

Of the format:  <function>:<command>:<parameter>

The command is optional, and dependent on the command, so are
the parameters.

 echo do_fork > set_ftrace_filter

Will only trace 'do_fork'.

 echo 'sched_*' > set_ftrace_filter

Will only trace functions starting with the letters 'sched_'.

 echo '*:mod:ext3' > set_ftrace_filter

Will trace only the ext3 module functions.

 echo '*write*:mod:ext3' > set_ftrace_notrace

Will prevent the ext3 functions with the letters 'write' in
the name from being traced.

 echo '!*_allocate:mod:ext3' > set_ftrace_filter

Will remove the functions in ext3 that end with the letters
'_allocate' from the ftrace filter.

Although this patch implements the 'command' format, only the
'mod' command is supported. More commands to follow.

9f4801e30a ftrace: break up ftrace_match_records into smaller components
Impact: clean up

ftrace_match_records does a lot of things that other features
can use. This patch breaks up ftrace_match_records and pulls
out ftrace_setup_glob and ftrace_match_record.

ftrace_setup_glob prepares a simple glob expression for use with
ftrace_match_record. ftrace_match_record compares a single record
with a glob type.

Breaking this up will allow for more features to run on individual
records.

7f24b31b01 ftrace: rename ftrace_match to ftrace_match_records
Impact: clean up

ftrace_match is too generic of a name. What it really does is
search all records and matches the records with the given string,
and either sets or unsets the functions to be traced depending
on if the parameter 'enable' is set or not.

This allows us to make another function called ftrace_match that
can be used to test a single record.

265c831cb0 ftrace: add do_for_each_ftrace_rec and while_for_each_ftrace_rec
Impact: clean up

To iterate over all the functions that dynamic trace knows about
it requires two for loops. One to iterate over the pages and the
other to iterate over the records within the page.

There are several duplications of these loops in ftrace.c. This
patch creates the macros do_for_each_ftrace_rec and
while_for_each_ftrace_rec to handle this logic, and removes the
duplicate code.

While making this change, I also discovered and fixed a small
bug that one of the iterations should exit the loop after it found the
record it was searching for. This used a break when it should have
used a goto, since there were two loops it needed to break out
from.  No real harm was done by this bug since it would only continue
to search the other records, and the code was in a slow path anyway.

But when it is empty, it will trace all functions. This can be a bit

45141d4667 ring-buffer: rename label out_unlock to out_reset
Impact: clean up

While reviewing the ring buffer code, I thougth I saw a bug with

	if (!__raw_spin_trylock(&cpu_buffer->lock))
		goto out_unlock;

But I forgot that we use a variable "lock_taken" that is set if
the spinlock is taken, and only unlock it if that variable is set.

To avoid further confusion from other reviewers, this patch
renames the label out_unlock with out_reset, which is the more
appropriate name.

00f62f614b ring_buffer: pahole struct ring_buffer
While fixing some bugs in pahole (built-in.o files were not being
processed due to relocation problems) I found out about these packable
structures:

$ pahole --packable kernel/trace/ring_buffer.o  | grep ring
ring_buffer	72	64	8
ring_buffer_per_cpu	112	104	8

If we take a look at the current layout of struct ring_buffer we can see
that we have two 4 bytes holes.

$ pahole -C ring_buffer kernel/trace/ring_buffer.o
struct ring_buffer {
	unsigned int               pages;           /*     0     4 */
	unsigned int               flags;           /*     4     4 */
	int                        cpus;            /*     8     4 */

	/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

	cpumask_var_t              cpumask;         /*    16     8 */
	atomic_t                   record_disabled; /*    24     4 */

	/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

	struct mutex               mutex;           /*    32    32 */
	/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
	struct ring_buffer_per_cpu * * buffers;     /*    64     8 */

	/* size: 72, cachelines: 2, members: 7 */
	/* sum members: 64, holes: 2, sum holes: 8 */
	/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
};

So, if I ask pahole to reorganize it:

$ pahole -C ring_buffer --reorganize kernel/trace/ring_buffer.o

struct ring_buffer {
	unsigned int               pages;           /*     0     4 */
	unsigned int               flags;           /*     4     4 */
	int                        cpus;            /*     8     4 */
	atomic_t                   record_disabled; /*    12     4 */
	cpumask_var_t              cpumask;         /*    16     8 */
	struct mutex               mutex;           /*    24    32 */
	struct ring_buffer_per_cpu * * buffers;     /*    56     8 */
	/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */

	/* size: 64, cachelines: 1, members: 7 */
};   /* saved 8 bytes and 1 cacheline! */

We get it using just one 64 bytes cacheline.

To see what it did:

$ pahole -C ring_buffer --reorganize --show_reorg_steps \
	kernel/trace/ring_buffer.o | grep \/
/* Moving 'record_disabled' from after 'cpumask' to after 'cpus' */

   memcpy(bpage->data, cpu_buffer->reader_page->page->data + read ... )
2) We need update cpu_buffer->reader_page->read, but
   "cpu_buffer->reader_page += read;" is not right.

  This bug was a typo. The commit->reader_page is a page pointer

b91facc367 tracing/function-graph-tracer: handle the leaf functions from trace_pipe
When one cats the trace file, the leaf functions are printed without brackets:

 function();

whereas in the trace_pipe file we'll see the following:

 function() {
 }

This is because the ring_buffer handling is not the same between those two files.
On the trace file, when an entry is printed, the iterator advanced and then we can
check the next entry.

There is no iterator with trace_pipe, the current entry to print has been peeked
and not consumed. So checking the next entry will still return the current one while
we don't consume it.

This patch introduces a new value for the output callbacks to ask the tracing
core to not consume the current entry after printing it.

We need it because we will have to consume the current entry ourself to check
the next one.

Now the trace_pipe is able to handle well the leaf functions.

78d904b46a ring-buffer: add NMI protection for spinlocks
Impact: prevent deadlock in NMI

The ring buffers are not yet totally lockless with writing to
the buffer. When a writer crosses a page, it grabs a per cpu spinlock
to protect against a reader. The spinlocks taken by a writer are not
to protect against other writers, since a writer can only write to
its own per cpu buffer. The spinlocks protect against readers that
can touch any cpu buffer. The writers are made to be reentrant
with the spinlocks disabling interrupts.

The problem arises when an NMI writes to the buffer, and that write
crosses a page boundary. If it grabs a spinlock, it can be racing
with another writer (since disabling interrupts does not protect
against NMIs) or with a reader on the same CPU. Luckily, most of the
users are not reentrant and protects against this issue. But if a
user of the ring buffer becomes reentrant (which is what the ring
buffers do allow), if the NMI also writes to the ring buffer then
we risk the chance of a deadlock.

This patch moves the ftrace_nmi_enter called by nmi_enter() to the
ring buffer code. It replaces the current ftrace_nmi_enter that is
used by arch specific code to arch_ftrace_nmi_enter and updates
the Kconfig to handle it.

When an NMI is called, it will set a per cpu variable in the ring buffer
code and will clear it when the NMI exits. If a write to the ring buffer
crosses page boundaries inside an NMI, a trylock is used on the spin
lock instead. If the spinlock fails to be acquired, then the entry
is discarded.

This bug appeared in the ftrace work in the RT tree, where event tracing
is reentrant. This workaround solved the deadlocks that appeared there.

1830b52d0d trace: remove deprecated entry->cpu
Impact: fix to prevent developers from using entry->cpu

With the new ring buffer infrastructure, the cpu for the entry is
implicit with which CPU buffer it is on.

The original code use to record the current cpu into the generic
entry header, which can be retrieved by entry->cpu. When the
ring buffer was introduced, the users were convert to use the
the cpu number of which cpu ring buffer was in use (this was passed
to the tracers by the iterator: iter->cpu).

Unfortunately, the cpu item in the entry structure was never removed.
This allowed for developers to use it instead of the proper iter->cpu,
unknowingly, using an uninitialized variable. This was not the fault
of the developers, since it would seem like the logical place to
retrieve the cpu identifier.

This patch removes the cpu item from the entry structure and fixes
all the users that should have been using iter->cpu.

51a763dd84 tracing: Introduce trace_buffer_{lock_reserve,unlock_commit}
Impact: new API

These new functions do what previously was being open coded, reducing
the number of details ftrace plugin writers have to worry about.

It also standardizes the handling of stacktrace, userstacktrace and
other trace options we may introduce in the future.

With this patch, for instance, the blk tracer (and some others already
in the tree) can use the "userstacktrace" /d/tracing/trace_options
facility.

268ccda0cb trace: assign defaults at register_ftrace_event
Impact: simplification of tracers

As all tracers are doing this we might as well do it in
register_ftrace_event and save one branch each time we call these
callbacks.

d9793bd801 trace: judicious error checking of trace_seq results
Impact: bugfix and cleanup

Some callsites were returning either TRACE_ITER_PARTIAL_LINE if the
trace_seq routines (trace_seq_printf, etc) returned 0 meaning its buffer
was full, or zero otherwise.

But...

/* Return values for print_line callback */
enum print_line_t {
        TRACE_TYPE_PARTIAL_LINE = 0,    /* Retry after flushing the seq */
        TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED      = 1,
        TRACE_TYPE_UNHANDLED    = 2     /* Relay to other output functions */
};

In other cases the return value was not being relayed at all.

Most of the time it didn't hurt because the page wasn't get filled, but
for correctness sake, handle the return values everywhere.

229c4ef8ae ftrace: do_each_pid_task() needs rcu lock
"ftrace: use struct pid" commit 978f3a45d9
converted ftrace_pid_trace to "struct pid*".

But we can't use do_each_pid_task() without rcu_read_lock() even if
we know the pid itself can't go away (it was pinned in ftrace_pid_write).
The exiting task can detach itself from this pid at any moment.

The trace_seq and trace_entry are in trace_iterator, where there are
more fields that may be needed by tracers, so just pass the
tracer_iterator as is already the case for struct tracer->print_line.

c4a8e8be2d trace: better manage the context info for events
Impact: make trace_event more convenient for tracers

All tracers (for the moment) that use the struct trace_event want to
have the context info printed before their own output: the pid/cmdline,
cpu, and timestamp.

But some other tracers that want to implement their trace_event
callbacks will not necessary need these information or they may want to
format them as they want.

This patch adds a new default-enabled trace option:
TRACE_ITER_CONTEXT_INFO When disabled through:

echo nocontext-info > /debugfs/tracing/trace_options

The pid, cpu and timestamps headers will not be printed.

IE with the sched_switch tracer with context-info (default):

     bash-2935 [001] 100.356561: 2935:120:S ==> [001]  0:140:R <idle>
   <idle>-0    [000] 100.412804:    0:140:R   + [000] 11:115:S events/0
   <idle>-0    [000] 100.412816:    0:140:R ==> [000] 11:115:R events/0
 events/0-11   [000] 100.412829:   11:115:S ==> [000]  0:140:R <idle>

Without context-info:

 2935:120:S ==> [001]  0:140:R <idle>
    0:140:R   + [000] 11:115:S events/0
    0:140:R ==> [000] 11:115:R events/0
   11:115:S ==> [000]  0:140:R <idle>

A tracer can disable it at runtime by clearing the bit
TRACE_ITER_CONTEXT_INFO in trace_flags.

The print routines were renamed to trace_print_context and
trace_print_lat_context, so that they can be used by tracers if they
want to use them for one of the trace_event callbacks.

Now that we have a working ftrace=<tracer> function, make the boot
tracer get activated by it. This way we can turn it on or off without
recompiling the kernel, as well as keeping the selftests on. The
selftests are disabled whenever a default tracer starts running.
