Frederic Weisbecker 4a2b8dda3f tracing/function-graph-tracer: fix a regression while suspend to disk
Impact: fix a crash while kernel image restore

When the function graph tracer is running and while suspend to disk, some racy
and dangerous things happen against this tracer.

The current task will save its registers including the stack pointer which
contains the return address hooked by the tracer. But the current task will
continue to enter other functions after that to save the memory, and then
it will store other return addresses, and finally loose the old depth which
matches the return address saved in the old stack (during the registers saving).

So on image restore, the code will return to wrong addresses.
And there are other things: on restore, the task will have it's "current"
pointer overwritten during registers restoring....switching from one task to
another... That would be insane to try to trace function graphs at these
stages.

This patch makes the function graph tracer listening on power events, making
it's tracing disabled for the current task (the one that performs the
hibernation work) while suspend/resume to disk, making the tracing safe
during hibernation.

Steven Rostedt 0ee6b6cf5b trace: stop all recording to ring buffer on ftrace_dump
Impact: limit ftrace dump output

Currently ftrace_dump only calls ftrace_kill that is a fast way
to prevent the function tracer functions from being called (just sets
a flag and clears the function to call, nothing else). It is better
to also turn off any recording to the ring buffers as well.

		cpu_buffer->commit_page->commit =
			cpu_buffer->commit_page->write;
	......
}

when "if (RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, next_page == reader_page))", ring_buffer
is disabled, but some reserved buffers may haven't been committed.
we need reset struct buffer_page.write.

when "if (unlikely(next_page == cpu_buffer->commit_page))", ring_buffer
is still available, we should not corrupt it.

Steven Rostedt 428aee1460 trace: print ftrace_dump at KERN_EMERG log level
Impact: fix to print out ftrace_dump when expected

I was debugging a hard race condition to only find out that
after I hit the race, my log level was not at level to show
KERN_INFO. The time it took to trigger the race was wasted because
I did not capture the trace.

Since ftrace_dump is only called from kernel oops (and only when
it is set in the kernel command line to do so), or when a
developer adds it to their own local tree, the log level of
the print should be at KERN_EMERG to make sure the print appears.

ftrace_dump is not called by a normal user setup, and will not
add extra unwanted print out to the console. There is no reason
it should be at KERN_INFO.

Frederic Weisbecker e1d8aa9f1d tracing: add a new workqueue tracer
Impact: new tracer

The workqueue tracer provides some statistical informations
about each cpu workqueue thread such as the number of the
works inserted and executed since their creation. It can help
to evaluate the amount of work each of them have to perform.
For example it can help a developer to decide whether he should
choose a per cpu workqueue instead of a singlethreaded one.

It only traces statistical informations for now but it will probably later
provide event tracing too.

Such a tracer could help too, and be improved, to help rt priority sorted
workqueue development.

To have a snapshot of the workqueues state at any time, just do

cat /debugfs/tracing/trace_stat/workqueues

Ie:

  1    125        125       reiserfs/1

Frederic Weisbecker 002bb86d8d tracing/ftrace: separate events tracing and stats tracing engine
Impact: tracing's Api change

Currently, the stat tracing depends on the events tracing.
When you switch to a new tracer, the stats files of the previous tracer
will disappear. But it's more scalable to separate those two engines.
This way, we can keep the stat files of one or several tracers when we
want, without bothering of multiple tracer stat files or tracer switching.

To build/destroys its stats files, a tracer just have to call
register_stat_tracer/unregister_stat_tracer everytimes it wants to.

IA64 dynamic ftrace support.
The original _mcount stub for each function is like:
	alloc r40=ar.pfs,12,8,0
	mov r43=r0;;
	mov r42=b0
	mov r41=r1
	nop.i 0x0
	br.call.sptk.many b0 = _mcount;;

The patch convert it to below for nop:
	[MII] nop.m 0x0
	mov r3=ip
	nop.i 0x0
	[MLX] nop.m 0x0
	nop.x 0x0;;
This isn't completely nop, as there is one instuction 'mov r3=ip', but
it should be light and harmless for code follow it.

And below is for call
	[MII] nop.m 0x0
	mov r3=ip
	nop.i 0x0
	[MLX] nop.m 0x0
	brl.many .;;
In this way, only one instruction is changed to convert code between nop
and call. This should meet dyn-ftrace's requirement.
But this requires CPU support brl instruction, so dyn-ftrace isn't
supported for old Itanium system. Assume there are quite few such old

Pekka Paalanen 173ed24ee2 mmiotrace: count events lost due to not recording
Impact: enhances lost events counting in mmiotrace

The tracing framework, or the ring buffer facility it uses, has a switch
to stop recording data. When recording is off, the trace events will be
lost. The framework does not count these, so mmiotrace has to count them
itself.

Pekka Paalanen fe6f90e57f trace: mmiotrace to the tracer menu in Kconfig
Impact: cosmetic change in Kconfig menu layout

This patch was originally suggested by Peter Zijlstra, but seems it
was forgotten.

CONFIG_MMIOTRACE and CONFIG_MMIOTRACE_TEST were selectable
directly under the Kernel hacking / debugging menu in the kernel
configuration system. They were present only for x86 and x86_64.

Other tracers that use the ftrace tracing framework are in their own
sub-menu. This patch moves the mmiotrace configuration options there.
Since the Kconfig file, where the tracer menu is, is not architecture
specific, HAVE_MMIOTRACE_SUPPORT is introduced and provided only by
x86/x86_64. CONFIG_MMIOTRACE now depends on it.

Pekka Paalanen 5d2ad3316e doc: mmiotrace.txt, buffer size control change
Impact: prevents confusing the user when buffer size is inadequate

The tracing framework offers a resizeable buffer, which mmiotrace uses
to record events. If the buffer is full, the following events will be
lost. Events should not be lost, so the documentation instructs the user
to increase the buffer size. The buffer size is set via a debugfs file.

Mmiotrace documentation was not updated the same time the debugfs file
was changed. The old file was tracing/trace_entries and first contained
the number of entries the buffer had space for, per cpu. Nowadays this
file is replaced with the file tracing/buffer_size_kb, which tells the
amount of memory reserved for the buffer, per cpu, in kilobytes.

Previously, a flag had to be toggled via the debugfs file
tracing/tracing_enabled when the buffer size was changed. This is no
longer necessary.

The mmiotrace documentation is updated to reflect the current state of
the tracing framework.

Frederic Weisbecker 034939b65a tracing/ftrace: handle more than one stat file per tracer
Impact: new API for tracers

Make the stat tracing API reentrant. And also provide the new directory
/debugfs/tracing/trace_stat which will contain all the stat files for the
current active tracer.

Now a tracer will, if desired, want to provide a zero terminated array of
tracer_stat structures.
Each one contains the callbacks necessary for one stat file.
It have to provide at least a name for its stat file, an iterator with
stat_start/start_next callback and an output callback for one stat entry.

Also adapt the branch tracer to this new API.
We create two files "all" and "annotated" inside the /debugfs/tracing/trace_stat
directory, making the both stats simultaneously available instead of needing
to change an option to switch from one stat file to another.

The output of these stats haven't changed.

Changes in v2:

_ Apply the previous memory leak fix (rebase against tip/master)

Changes in v3:

_ Merge the patch that adapted the branch tracer to this Api in this patch to
  not break the kernel build.

Takashi Sato c4be0c1dc4 filesystem freeze: add error handling of write_super_lockfs/unlockfs
Currently, ext3 in mainline Linux doesn't have the freeze feature which
suspends write requests.  So, we cannot take a backup which keeps the
filesystem's consistency with the storage device's features (snapshot and
replication) while it is mounted.

In many case, a commercial filesystem (e.g.  VxFS) has the freeze feature
and it would be used to get the consistent backup.

If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it
without a commercial filesystem.

So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature.
I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps.
1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl.
2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot
   with the storage device's feature.
3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl.
4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume
   or the snapshot.

This patch:

VFS:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that they can return an error.
Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation
freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion.

ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed,
and unlockfs always returns 0.

reiserfs:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.

Due to commit 2831fe6f9c, "driver core:

longer be called from atomic contexts.

We now defer it until after config ROM probing.  This requires changes
to the bus manager code because this may use a device before it was
probed.
