When adding the EXPORT_SYMBOL to some of the tracing API, I accidently
used EXPORT_SYMBOL instead of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. This patch fixes
that mistake.

In the swap page ring buffer code that is used by the ftrace splice code,

Currently, when the ring buffer writer overflows the buffer and must
write over non consumed data, we increment the overrun counter by
reading the entries on the page we are about to overwrite. This reads
the entries one by one.
This is not very effecient. This patch adds another entry counter
into each buffer page descriptor that keeps track of the number of
entries on the page. Now on overwrite, the overrun counter simply
needs to add the number of entries that is on the page it is about
to overwrite.

The entries counter in cpu buffer is not atomic. It can be updated by
other interrupts or from another CPU (readers).
But making entries into "atomic_t" causes an atomic operation that can
hurt performance. Instead we convert it to a local_t that will increment
a counter with a local CPU atomic operation (if the arch supports it).
Instead of fighting with readers and overwrites that decrement the counter,
I added a "read" counter. Every time a reader reads an entry it is
incremented.
We already have a overrun counter and with that, the entries counter and
the read counter, we can calculate the total number of entries in the
buffer with:
(entries - overrun) - read
As long as the total number of entries in the ring buffer is less than
the word size, this will work. But since the entries counter was previously
a long, this is no different than what we had before.
Thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing out in the first version that
atomic_t does not replace unsigned long. I switched to atomic_long_t
even though it is signed. A negative count is most likely a bug.

This patch adds stats to the ftrace ring buffers:
# cat /debugfs/tracing/per_cpu/cpu0/stats
entries: 42360
overrun: 30509326
commit overrun: 0
nmi dropped: 0
Where entries are the total number of data entries in the buffer.
overrun is the number of entries not consumed and were overwritten by
the writer.
commit overrun is the number of entries dropped due to nested writers
wrapping the buffer before the initial writer finished the commit.
nmi dropped is the number of entries dropped due to the ring buffer
lock being held when an nmi was going to write to the ring buffer.
Note, this field will be meaningless and will go away when the ring
buffer becomes lockless.

The WARN_ON in the ring buffer when a commit is preempted and the
buffer is filled by preceding writes can happen in normal operations.
The WARN_ON makes it look like a bug, not to mention, because
it does not stop tracing and calls printk which can also recurse, this
is prone to deadlock (the WARN_ON is not in a position to recurse).
This patch removes the WARN_ON and replaces it with a counter that
can be retrieved by a tracer. This counter is called commit_overrun.
While at it, I added a nmi_dropped counter to count any time an NMI entry
is dropped because the NMI could not take the spinlock.

as reported by Sachin Sant against linux-next:
kernel/built-in.o: In function `__do_softirq':
(.text+0x1c680): undefined reference to `__tracepoint_softirq_entry'
This happens because the definitions of the softirq tracepoints were moved
from kernel/softirq.c to kernel/irq/handle.c. Since s390 doesn't support
generic hardirqs handle.c doesn't get compiled and the definitions are
missing.

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.

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.

* change function names to clear_* from set_*: in reality we only clear
and restore page presence, and never unconditionally set present.
Using clear_*({true, false}, ...) is therefore more honest than
set_*({false, true}, ...)
* upgrade presence storage to pteval_t: doing user-space tracing will
require saving and manipulation of the _PAGE_PROTNONE bit, in addition
to the existing _PAGE_PRESENT changes, and having multiple bools stored
and passed around does not seem optimal

Splice works with pages, it is much more effecient to use an entire
page than to copy bits over several pages.
Using logdev to trace the internals of the splice mechanism, I was
able to see that splice can be very aggressive. When tracing is
occurring, and the reader caught up to the writer, and the writer
is on the reader page, the reader will copy what is there into the
splice page. Splice may iterate over several pages and if the
writer is still writing to the page, the reader will keep copying
bits to new pages to pass to userspace.
This patch changes it to only pass data to userspace if the page
is full (the writer has left the page). This has a small side effect
that splice can not read a partial page, and must wait for the
page to fill. This should not be an issue. If tracing has stopped,
then a use of "read" will still read all of the page.

ftrace_dump is used for printing out the contents of the ftrace ring buffer
to the console on failure. Currently it uses a spinlock to synchronize
the output from multiple failures on different CPUs. This spin lock
currently is a normal spinlock and can cause issues with lockdep and
lock tracing.
This patch converts it to raw since it is for error handling only.

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.

With modules being able to add trace events, and the max trace event
counter is 16 bits (65536) we can overflow the counter easily
with a simple while loop adding and removing modules that contain
trace events.
This patch links together the registered trace events and on overflow
searches for available trace event ids. It will still fail if
over 65536 events are registered, but considering that a typical
kernel only has 22000 functions, 65000 events should be sufficient.

In case a module uses the TRACE_EVENT macro for creating automated
events in ftrace, it may choose to use a different file name
than the defined system name, or choose to use a different path than
the default "include/trace/events" include path.
If this is done, then before including trace/define_trace.h the
header would define either "TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE" for the file
name or "TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH" for the include path.
If it does not define these, then the define_trace.h defines them
instead. If define trace defines them, then define_trace.h should
also undefine them before exiting. To do this a macro is used
to note this:
#ifndef TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE
# define TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE TRACE_SYSTEM
# define UNDEF_TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE
#endif
[...]
#ifdef UNDEF_TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE
# undef TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE
# undef UNDEF_TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE
#endif
The UNDEF_TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE acts as a CPP variable to know to undef
the TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE before leaving define_trace.h.
Unfortunately, due to cut and paste errors, the macros between
FILE and PATH got mixed up.

The events exported by TRACE_EVENT are automated and are guaranteed

The internal ftrace structures on the other hand are more manually

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

task is waking up, we can see the wakeup_task before wakeup_cpu is

This patch provides the support for dynamic size strings on
event tracing.
The key concept is to use a structure with an ending char array field of
undefined size and use such ability to allocate the minimal size on the
ring buffer to make one or more string entries fit inside, as opposite
to a fixed length strings with upper bound.
The strings themselves are represented using fields which have an offset
value from the beginning of the entry.
This patch provides three new macros:
__string(item, src)
This one declares a string to the structure inside TP_STRUCT__entry.
You need to provide the name of the string field and the source that will
be copied inside.
This will also add the dynamic size of the string needed for the ring
buffer entry allocation.
A stack allocated structure is used to temporarily store the offset
of each strings, avoiding double calls to strlen() on each event
insertion.
__get_str(field)
This one will give you a pointer to the string you have created. This
is an abstract helper to resolve the absolute address given the field
name which is a relative address from the beginning of the trace_structure.
__assign_str(dst, src)
Use this macro to automatically perform the string copy from src to
dst. src must be a variable to assign and dst is the name of a __string
field.
Example on how to use it:
TRACE_EVENT(my_event,
TP_PROTO(char *src1, char *src2),
TP_ARGS(src1, src2),
TP_STRUCT__entry(
__string(str1, src1)
__string(str2, src2)
),
TP_fast_assign(
__assign_str(str1, src1);
__assign_str(str2, src2);
),
TP_printk("%s %s", __get_str(src1), __get_str(src2))
)
Of course you can mix-up any __field or __array inside this
TRACE_EVENT. The position of the __string or __assign_str
doesn't matter.
Changes in v2:
Address the suggestion of Steven Rostedt: drop the opening_string() macro
and redefine __ending_string() to get the size of the string to be copied
instead of overwritting the whole ring buffer allocation.
Changes in v3:
Address other suggestions of Steven Rostedt and Peter Zijlstra with
some changes: drop the __ending_string and the need to have only one
string field.
Use offsets instead of absolute addresses.

On boot up, to save memory, ftrace allocates the minimum buffer
which is two pages. Ftrace also goes through a series of tests
(when configured) on boot up. These tests can fill up a page within
a single interrupt.
The ring buffer also has a WARN_ON when it detects that the buffer was
completely filled within a single commit (other commits are allowed to
be nested).
Combine the small buffer on start up, with the tests that can fill more
than a single page within an interrupt, this can trigger the WARN_ON.
This patch makes the WARN_ON only happen when the ring buffer consists
of more than two pages.

Suppose we would like to trace all tasks named '123', but this
will fail:
# echo 'parent_comm == 123' > events/sched/sched_process_fork/filter
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
Don't guess the type of the filter pred in filter_parse(), but instead
we check it in __filter_add_pred().

If writing subsys->filter returns EINVAL or ENOSPC, the original
filters in subsys/ and subsys/events/ will be removed. This is
definitely wrong.

The startup tests for the event tracer also runs with the function
tracer enabled. The "wakeup" version of the trace commit was used
which can grab spinlocks. If a task was preempted by an NMI
that called a function being traced, it could deadlock due to the
function tracer trying to grab the same lock.
Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for pointing out where the bug was.

Althought using the irq level (hardirq_count, softirq_count and in_nmi)
was nice to detect bad recursion right away, but since the counters are
not atomically updated with respect to the interrupts, the function tracer
might trigger the test from an interrupt handler before the hardirq_count
is updated. This will trigger a false warning.
This patch converts the recursive detection to a simple counter.
If the depth is greater than 16 then the recursive detection will trigger.
16 is more than enough for any nested interrupts.

The ring_buffer_event_discard is not tied to ring_buffer_lock_reserve.
It can be called inside or outside the reserve/commit. Even if it
is called inside the reserve/commit the commit part must also be called.
Only ring_buffer_discard_commit can be used as a replacement for
ring_buffer_unlock_commit.
This patch removes the trace_recursive_unlock from ring_buffer_event_discard
since it would be the wrong place to do so.

The recursive tests to detect same level recursion in the ring buffers
did not account for the hard/softirq_counts to be shifted. Thus the
numbers could be larger than then mask to be tested.
This patch includes the shift for the calculation of the irq depth.

Due to a cut and paste error, the trace_seq_putc had a semicolon
after the prototype but before the stub function when tracing is
disabled.

The late_initcall calls a helper function instead of the proper
init event selftest function.
This update may have been lost due to conflicting merges.

Currently we have two configs: EVENT_TRACING and EVENT_TRACER.
All tracers enable EVENT_TRACING. The EVENT_TRACER is only a
convenience to enable the EVENT_TRACING when no other tracers
are enabled.
The names EVENT_TRACER and EVENT_TRACING are too similar and confusing.
This patch renames EVENT_TRACER to ENABLE_EVENT_TRACING to be more
appropriate to what it actually does, as well as add a comment in
the help menu to explain the option's purpose.

During testing we often use randconfig to test various kernels.
The current configuration set up does not give an easy way to disable
all tracing with a single config. The case where randconfig would
test all tracing disabled is very unlikely.
This patch adds a config option to enable or disable all tracing.
It is hooked into the tracing menu just like other submenus are done.
[ Impact: allow randconfig to easily produce all traces disabled ]
