1f5a6b4541 tracing: make testing syscall events a separate configuration
Parag noticed that the number of event tests has increased tremendously:

grep "Testing event" dmesg.31rc9 |wc -l
100

grep "Testing event" dmesg.31git |wc -l
1172

This is due to the testing of every syscall event when ftrace self
test is enabled. This adds a bit more time to kernel boot up and can
affect development by slowing down the time it takes between reboots.

This option makes the testing of the syscall events into a separate
config, to still be able to test most of ftrace internals at boot up
but not have to wait for all the syscall events to be tested.

The syscall event testing only tests the enabling and disabling of
the trace point, since the syscalls are not executed. What really needs
to be done is to somehow have a userspace tool test the syscall tracepoints
as well.

4e5292ea1a tracing: use the new trace_entries.h to create format files
This patch changes the way the format files in

  debugfs/tracing/events/ftrace/*/format

are created. It uses the new trace_entries.h file to automate the
creation of the format files to ensure that they are always in sync
with the actual structures. This is the same methodology used to
create the format files for the TRACE_EVENT macro.

This also updates the filter creation that was built on the creation
of the format files.

48659d3119 tracing: move tgid out of generic entry and into userstack
The userstack trace required the recording of the tgid entry.
Unfortunately, it was added to the generic entry where it wasted
4 bytes of every entry and was only used by one entry.

This patch moves it out of the generic field and moves it into the
only user (userstack_entry).

e77405ad80 tracing: pass around ring buffer instead of tracer
The latency tracers (irqsoff and wakeup) can swap trace buffers
on the fly. If an event is happening and has reserved data on one of
the buffers, and the latency tracer swaps the global buffer with the
max buffer, the result is that the event may commit the data to the
wrong buffer.

This patch changes the API to the trace recording to be recieve the
buffer that was used to reserve a commit. Then this buffer can be passed
in to the commit.

we add @filter_type which is an enum value.

This prepares for later patches, so we can specifically assign

but we may want it to be treated as a string when doing filting.

e1c7e2a6e6 tracing/events: Don't increment @pos in s_start()
While testing syscall tracepoints posted by Jason, I found 3 entries
were missing when reading available_events. The output size of
available_events is < 4 pages, which means we lost 1 entry per page.

The cause is, it's wrong to increment @pos in s_start().

Actually there's another bug here -- reading avaiable_events/set_events
can race with module unload:

  # cat available_events               |
      s_start()                        |
      s_stop()                         |
                                       | # rmmod foo.ko
      s_start()                        |
        call = list_entry(m->private)  |

@call might be freed and accessing it will lead to crash.

Add a helper function __ftrace_set_clr_event(), and replace some
ftrace_set_clr_event() calls with this helper, thus we don't need any

As a side effect, this patch fixes an issue in self tests code, which is
similar to the one fixed in commit d6bf81ef0f

It's a small issue and won't cause any bug in fact, but we should do things

d6bf81ef0f tracing: append ":*" to internal setting of system events
The system enabling of events uses the same code as the set_event file.
It passes in the name of the system to the parser and that will enable
all the events that has that system as a name.

The problem is that it will also enable events with the same name as the
system.

If you have system name foo, and system name bar, but within the system
bar, there exists an event called foo. By setting the system name foo,
you will also be enabling the event foo in the system bar. This is not
an expected result.

The solution is to pass in "foo:*", which will only enable the system
foo and not events called foo.

8ae79a138e tracing: add hierarchical enabling of events
With the current event directory, you can only enable individual events.
The file debugfs/tracing/set_event is used to be able to enable or
disable several events at once. But that can still be awkward.

This patch adds hierarchical enabling of events. That is, each directory
in debugfs/tracing/events has an "enable" file. This file can enable
or disable all events within the directory and below.

 # echo 1 > /debugfs/tracing/events/enable

will enable all events.

 # echo 1 > /debugfs/tracing/events/sched/enable

will enable all events in the sched subsystem.

 # echo 1 > /debugfs/tracing/events/enable
 # echo 0 > /debugfs/tracing/events/irq/enable

will enable all events, but then disable just the irq subsystem events.

When reading one of these enable files, there are four results:

 0 - all events this file affects are disabled
 1 - all events this file affects are enabled
 X - there is a mixture of events enabled and disabled
 ? - this file does not affect any event

9456f0fa6d tracing: reset ring buffer when removing modules with events
Li Zefan found that there's a race using the event ids of events and
modules. When a module is loaded, an event id is incremented. We only
have 16 bits for event ids (65536) and there is a possible (but highly
unlikely) race that we could load and unload a module that registers
events so many times that the event id counter overflows.

When it overflows, it then restarts and goes looking for available
ids. An id is available if it was added by a module and released.

The race is if you have one module add an id, and then is removed.
Another module loaded can use that same event id. But if the old module
still had events in the ring buffer, the new module's call back would
get bogus data.  At best (and most likely) the output would just be
garbage. But if the module for some reason used pointers (not recommended)
then this could potentially crash.

The safest thing to do is just reset the ring buffer if a module that
registered events is removed.

the ftrace_events list is not "const", and concurrent access needs to be

This patch thus fixes races between loading/unloding modules and read

8b37256210 tracing/filters: a better event parser
Replace the current event parser hack with a better one.  Filters are
no longer specified predicate by predicate, but all at once and can
use parens and any of the following operators:

numeric fields:

==, !=, <, <=, >, >=

string fields:

==, !=

predicates can be combined with the logical operators:

&&, ||

examples:

"common_preempt_count > 4" > filter

"((sig >= 10 && sig < 15) || sig == 17) && comm != bash" > filter

If there was an error, the erroneous string along with an error
message can be seen by looking at the filter e.g.:

((sig >= 10 && sig < 15) || dsig == 17) && comm != bash
^
parse_error: Field not found

Currently the caret for an error always appears at the beginning of
the filter; a real position should be used, but the error message
should be useful even without it.

To clear a filter, '0' can be written to the filter file.

Filters can also be set or cleared for a complete subsystem by writing
the same filter as would be written to an individual event to the
filter file at the root of the subsytem.  Note however, that if any
event in the subsystem lacks a field specified in the filter being
set, the set will fail and all filters in the subsytem are
automatically cleared.  This change from the previous version was made
because using only the fields that happen to exist for a given event
would most likely result in a meaningless filter.

Because the logical operators are now implemented as predicates, the
maximum number of predicates in a filter was increased from 8 to 16.

a118e4d140 tracing/filters: distinguish between signed and unsigned fields
The new filter comparison ops need to be able to distinguish between
signed and unsigned field types, so add an is_signed flag/param to the
event field struct/trace_define_fields().  Also define a simple macro,
is_signed_type() to determine the signedness at compile time, used in the
trace macros.  If the is_signed_type() macro won't work with a specific
type, a new slightly modified version of TRACE_FIELD() called
TRACE_FIELD_SIGN(), allows the signedness to be set explicitly.

701970b3a8 tracing/events: make modules have their own file_operations structure
For proper module reference counting, the file_operations that modules use
must have the "owner" field set to the module. Unfortunately, the trace events
use share file_operations. The same file_operations are used by all both
kernel core and all modules.

This patch makes the modules allocate their own file_operations and
copies the functions from the core kernel. This allows those file
operations to be owned by the module.

Care is taken to free this code on module unload.

Thanks to Greg KH for reminding me that file_operations must be owned
by the module to have reference counting take place.

75db37d2f4 tracing: add size checks for exported ftrace internal structures
The events exported by TRACE_EVENT are automated and are guaranteed
to be correct when used.

The internal ftrace structures on the other hand are more manually
exported. These require the ftrace maintainer to make sure they
are up to date.

This patch adds a size check to help flag when a type changes in
an internal ftrace data structure, and the update needs to be reflected
in the export.

If a export is incorrect, then the only harm is that the user space
tools will not know how to correctly read the internal structures of
ftrace.

89ec0dee9e tracing: increase size of number of possible events
With the new event tracing registration, we must increase the number
of events that can be registered. Currently the type field is only
one byte, which leaves us only 256 possible events.

Since we do not save the CPU number in the tracer anymore (it is determined
by the per cpu ring buffer that is used) we have an extra byte to use.

This patch increases the size of type from 1 byte (256 events) to
2 bytes (65,536 events).

It also adds a WARN_ON_ONCE if we exceed that limit.
