Steven Rostedt 4b3e3d2284 tracing: limit the number of loops the ring buffer self test can make
Impact: prevent deadlock if ring buffer gets corrupted

This patch adds a paranoid check to make sure the ring buffer consumer
does not go into an infinite loop. Since the ring buffer has been set
to read only, the consumer should not loop for more than the ring buffer
size. A check is added to make sure the consumer does not loop more than
the ring buffer size.

Steven Rostedt 0c5119c1e6 tracing: disable tracing while testing ring buffer
Impact: fix to prevent hard lockup on self tests

If one of the tracers are broken and is constantly filling the ring
buffer while the test of the ring buffer is running, it will hang
the box. The reason is that the test is a consumer that will not
stop till the ring buffer is empty. But if the tracer is broken and
is constantly producing input to the buffer, this test will never
end. The result is a lockup of the box.

This happened when KALLSYMS was not defined and the dynamic ftrace
test constantly filled the ring buffer, because the filter failed
and all functions were being traced. Something was being called
that constantly filled the buffer.

Frederic Weisbecker 1c80025a49 tracing/ftrace: change the type of the init() callback
Impact: extend the ->init() method with the ability to fail

This bring a way to know if the initialization of a tracer successed.
A tracer must return 0 on success and a traditional error (ie:
-ENOMEM) if it fails.

If a tracer fails to init, it is free to print a detailed warn. The
tracing api will not and switch to a new tracer will just return the
error from the init callback.

Note: this will be used for the return tracer.

Impact: fix lockdep disabling itself when function tracing is enabled

The raw_local_irq_saves used in ftrace is causing problems with

itself with a warning)

The raw ops here are not needed, and the normal local_irq_save is fine.

Steven Rostedt 80e5ea4506 ftrace: add tracer called branch
Impact: added new branch tracer

Currently the tracing of branch profiling (unlikelys and likelys hit)
is only activated by the iter_ctrl. This patch adds a tracer called
"branch" that will just trace the branch profiling. The advantage
of adding this tracer is that it can be added to the ftrace selftests
on startup.

Steven Rostedt 769c48eb25 ftrace: force pass of preemptoff selftest
Impact: preemptoff not tested in selftest

Due to the BKL not being preemptable anymore, the selftest of the
preemptoff code can not be tested. It requires that it is called
with preemption enabled, but since the BKL is held, that is no
longer the case.

This patch simply skips those tests if it detects that the context
is not preemptable. The following will now show up in the tests:

Testing tracer preemptoff: can not test ... force PASSED
Testing tracer preemptirqsoff: can not test ... force PASSED

When the BKL is removed, or it becomes preemptable once again, then
the tests will be performed.

Steven Rostedt dd0e545f06 ftrace: printk formatting infrastructure
This patch adds a feature that can help kernel developers debug their
code using ftrace.

  int ftrace_printk(const char *fmt, ...);

This records into the ftrace buffer using printf formatting. The entry
size in the buffers are still a fixed length. A new type has been added
that allows for more entries to be used for a single recording.

The start of the print is still the same as the other entries.

It returns the number of characters written to the ftrace buffer.

For example:

Having a module with the following code:

static int __init ftrace_print_test(void)
{
        ftrace_printk("jiffies are %ld\n", jiffies);
        return 0;
}

Gives me:

  insmod-5441  3...1 7569us : ftrace_print_test: jiffies are 4296626666

for the latency_trace file and:

          insmod-5441  [03]  1959.370498: ftrace_print_test jiffies are 4296626666

for the trace file.

Note: Only the infrastructure should go into the kernel. It is to help
facilitate debugging for other kernel developers. Calls to ftrace_printk
is not intended to be left in the kernel, and should be frowned upon just
like scattering printks around in the code.

But having this easily at your fingertips helps the debugging go faster
and bugs be solved quicker.

Maybe later on, we can hook this with markers and have their printf format
be sucked into ftrace output.

Steven Rostedt 19384c0314 ftrace: limit use of check pages
The check_pages function is called often enough that it can cause problems
with trace outputs or even bringing the system to a halt.

This patch limits the check_pages to the places that are most likely to
have problems. The check is made at the flip between the global array and
the max save array, as well as when the size of the buffers changes and
the self tests.

This patch also removes the BUG_ON from check_pages and replaces it with
a WARN_ON and disabling of the tracer.

With the adding of the configuration changes in the Makefile to prevent
tracing of functions in the ftrace code, all tracing of all the ftrace

we can add the "-pg" flag to the compilation of that function and the
