Pull RCU, perf, and scheduler fixes from Ingo Molnar.
The RCU fix is a revert for an optimization that could cause deadlocks.
One of the scheduler commits (164c33c6ad "sched: Fix fork() error path
to not crash") is correct but not complete (some architectures like Tile
are not covered yet) - the resulting additional fixes are still WIP and
Ingo did not want to delay these pending fixes. See this thread on

The new_pages list head in the cpu_buffer is not initialized. When
adding pages to the ring buffer, if the memory allocation fails in
ring_buffer_resize, the clean up handler tries to free up the allocated
pages from all the cpu buffers. The panic is caused by referencing the
uninitialized new_pages list head.
Initializing the new_pages list head in rb_allocate_cpu_buffer fixes
this.

Dave Jones reported a kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3474! triggered
by splice_shrink_spd() called from vmsplice_to_pipe()
commit 35f3d14dbb (pipe: add support for shrinking and growing pipes)
added capability to adjust pipe->buffers.
Problem is some paths don't hold pipe mutex and assume pipe->buffers
doesn't change for their duration.
Fix this by adding nr_pages_max field in struct splice_pipe_desc, and
use it in place of pipe->buffers where appropriate.
splice_shrink_spd() loses its struct pipe_inode_info argument.

A recent update to have tracing_on/off() only affect the ftrace ring
buffers instead of all ring buffers had a cut and paste error.
The tracing_off() did the exact same thing as tracing_on() and
would not actually turn off tracing. Unfortunately, tracing_off()
is more important to be working than tracing_on() as this is a key
development tool, as it lets the developer turn off tracing as soon
as a problem is discovered. It is also used by panic and oops code.
This bug also breaks the 'echo func:traceoff > set_ftrace_filter'

Pull user-space probe instrumentation from Ingo Molnar:
"The uprobes code originates from SystemTap and has been used for years
in Fedora and RHEL kernels. This version is much rewritten, reviews
from PeterZ, Oleg and myself shaped the end result.
This tree includes uprobes support in 'perf probe' - but SystemTap
(and other tools) can take advantage of user probe points as well.
Sample usage of uprobes via perf, for example to profile malloc()
calls without modifying user-space binaries.
First boot a new kernel with CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT=y enabled.
If you don't know which function you want to probe you can pick one
from 'perf top' or can get a list all functions that can be probed
within libc (binaries can be specified as well):
$ perf probe -F -x /lib/libc.so.6
To probe libc's malloc():
$ perf probe -x /lib64/libc.so.6 malloc
Added new event:
probe_libc:malloc (on 0x7eac0)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 1
Make use of it to create a call graph (as the flat profile is going to
look very boring):
$ perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -gR make

The core uprobes design is fairly straightforward: uprobes probe
points register themselves at (inode:offset) addresses of
libraries/binaries, after which all existing (or new) vmas that map
that address will have a software breakpoint injected at that address.
vmas are COW-ed to preserve original content. The probe points are
kept in an rbtree.
If user-space executes the probed inode:offset instruction address
then an event is generated which can be recovered from the regular
perf event channels and mmap-ed ring-buffer.
Multiple probes at the same address are supported, they create a
dynamic callback list of event consumers.
The basic model is further complicated by the XOL speedup: the
original instruction that is probed is copied (in an architecture
specific fashion) and executed out of line when the probe triggers.
The XOL area is a single vma per process, with a fixed number of
entries (which limits probe execution parallelism).
The API: uprobes are installed/removed via
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events, the API is integrated to
align with the kprobes interface as much as possible, but is separate
to it.
Injecting a probe point is privileged operation, which can be relaxed
by setting perf_paranoid to -1.
You can use multiple probes as well and mix them with kprobes and
regular PMU events or tracepoints, when instrumenting a task."
Fix up trivial conflicts in mm/memory.c due to previous cleanup of
unmap_single_vma().

Pull an ftrace ring-buffer fix from Steve Rostedt:
* fix kernel crash when changing the size of the ring-buffer on
boxes where possible_cpus != online_cpus.
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
On some machines the number of possible CPUS is not the same as the
number of CPUs that is on the machine. Ftrace uses possible_cpus to
update the tracing structures but the ring buffer only allocates
per cpu buffers for online CPUs when they come up.
When the wakeup tracer was enabled in such a case, the ftrace code
enabled all possible cpu buffers, but the code in ring_buffer_resize()
did not check to see if the buffer in question was allocated. Since
boot up CPUs did not match possible CPUs it caused the following
crash:

This happens with the latency tracer as the ftrace code updates the
saved max buffer via its cpumask and not with a global setting.
Adding a check in ring_buffer_resize() to make sure the buffer being resized
exists, fixes the problem.

The function tracer will enable the -pg option with gcc, which requires
that frame pointers. When FRAME_POINTER is defined in the kernel config
it adds the gcc option -fno-omit-frame-pointer which causes some problems
on some architectures. For those architectures, the FRAME_POINTER select
was not set.
When FUNCTION_TRACER was selected on these architectures that can not have
-fno-omit-frame-pointer, the -pg option is still set. But when
FRAME_POINTER is not selected, the kernel config would add the gcc option
-fomit-frame-pointer. Adding this option is incompatible with -pg
even on archs that do not need frame pointers with -pg.
The answer to this was to just not add either -fno-omit-frame-pointer
or -fomit-frame-pointer on these archs that want function tracing
but do not set FRAME_POINTER.
As it turns out, for archs that require frame pointers for function
tracing, the same can be used. If gcc requires frame pointers with
-pg, it will simply add it. The best thing to do is not select FRAME_POINTER
when function tracing is selected, and let gcc add it if needed.
Only add the -fno-omit-frame-pointer when something else selects
FRAME_POINTER, but do not add -fomit-frame-pointer if function tracing
is selected.

To remove duplicate code, have the ftrace arch_ftrace_update_code()

Rename __ftrace_modify_code() to ftrace_modify_all_code() and make
it global for all archs to use. This will remove the duplication
of code, as archs that can modify code without stop_machine()
can use it directly outside of the stop_machine() call.

ftrace_location() is passed an addr, and returns 1 if the addr is
on a ftrace nop (or caller to ftrace_caller), and 0 otherwise.
To let kprobes know if it should move a breakpoint or not, it
must return the actual addr that is the start of the ftrace nop.
This way a kprobe placed on the location of a ftrace nop, can
instead be placed on the instruction after the nop. Even if the
probe addr is on the second or later byte of the nop, it can
simply be moved forward.

Both ftrace_location() and ftrace_text_reserved() do basically the same thing.
They search to see if an address is in the ftace table (contains an address
that may change from nop to call ftrace_caller). The difference is
that ftrace_location() searches a single address, but ftrace_text_reserved()
searches a range.
This also makes the ftrace_text_reserved() faster as it now uses a bsearch()
instead of linearly searching all the addresses within a page.
Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com>
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
As all records in a page of the ftrace table are sorted, we can
speed up the search algorithm by checking if the address to look for
falls in between the first and last record ip on the page.
This speeds up both the ftrace_location() and ftrace_text_reserved()
algorithms, as it can skip full pages when the search address is
not in them.

helper functions.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Instead of just sorting the ip's of the functions per ftrace page,
sort the entire list before adding them to the ftrace pages.
This will allow the bsearch algorithm to be sped up as it can
also sort by pages, not just records within a page.

According to Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt:
tracing_cpumask:
This is a mask that lets the user only trace
on specified CPUS. The format is a hex string
representing the CPUS.
The tracing_cpumask currently doesn't affect the tracing state of
per-CPU ring buffers.
This patch enables/disables CPU recording as its corresponding bit in
tracing_cpumask is set/unset.

When the ring buffer does its consistency test on itself, it
removes the head page, runs the tests, and then adds it back
to what the "head_page" pointer was. But because the head_page
pointer may lack behind the real head page (held by the link
list pointer). The reset may be incorrect.
Instead, if the head_page exists (it does not on first allocation)
reset it back to the real head page before running the consistency
tests. Then it will be put back to its original location after
the tests are complete.

There use to be ring buffer integrity checks after updating the
size of the ring buffer. But now that the ring buffer can modify
the size while the system is running, the integrity checks were
removed, as they require the ring buffer to be disabed to perform
the check.
Move the integrity check to the reading of the ring buffer via the
iterator reads (the "trace" file). As reading via an iterator requires
disabling the ring buffer, it is a perfect place to have it.
If the ring buffer happens to be disabled when updating the size,
we still perform the integrity check.

This patch adds the capability to add new pages to a ring buffer
atomically while write operations are going on. This makes it possible
to expand the ring buffer size without reinitializing the ring buffer.
The new pages are attached between the head page and its previous page.

This patch adds the capability to remove pages from a ring buffer
without destroying any existing data in it.
This is done by removing the pages after the tail page. This makes sure
that first all the empty pages in the ring buffer are removed. If the
head page is one in the list of pages to be removed, then the page after
the removed ones is made the head page. This removes the oldest data
from the ring buffer and keeps the latest data around to be read.
To do this in a non-racey manner, tracing is stopped for a very short
time while the pages to be removed are identified and unlinked from the
ring buffer. The pages are freed after the tracing is restarted to
minimize the time needed to stop tracing.
The context in which the pages from the per-cpu ring buffer are removed
runs on the respective CPU. This minimizes the events not traced to only
NMI trace contexts.

On gcc 4.5 the function tracing_mark_write() would give a warning
of page2 being uninitialized. This is due to a bug in gcc because
the logic prevents page2 from being used uninitialized, and
gcc 4.6+ does not complain (correctly).
Instead of adding a "unitialized" around page2, which could show
a bug later on, I combined page1 and page2 into an array map_pages[].
This binds the two and the two are modified according to nr_pages
(what gcc 4.5 seems to ignore). This no longer gives a warning with
gcc 4.5 nor with gcc 4.6.

With the adding of function tracing event to perf, it caused a
side effect that produces the following warning when enabling all
events in ftrace:
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/enable
[console]
event trace: Could not enable event function
This is because when enabling all events via the debugfs system
it ignores events that do not have a ->reg() function assigned.
This was to skip over the ftrace internal events (as they are
not TRACE_EVENTs). But as the ftrace function event now has
a ->reg() function attached to it for use with perf, it is no
longer ignored.
Worse yet, this ->reg() function is being called when it should
not be. It returns an error and causes the above warning to
be printed.
By adding a new event_call flag (TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE)
and have all ftrace internel event structures have it set,
setting the events/enable will no longe try to incorrectly enable
the function event and does not warn.

The ftrace_disable_cpu() and ftrace_enable_cpu() functions were
needed back before the ring buffer was lockless. Now that the
ring buffer is lockless (and has been for some time), these functions
serve no purpose, and unnecessarily slow down operations of the tracer.

It's appropriate to use __seq_open_private interface to open

Add a debugfs entry under per_cpu/ folder for each cpu called
buffer_size_kb to control the ring buffer size for each CPU
independently.
If the global file buffer_size_kb is used to set size, the individual
ring buffers will be adjusted to the given size. The buffer_size_kb will
report the common size to maintain backward compatibility.
If the buffer_size_kb file under the per_cpu/ directory is used to
change buffer size for a specific CPU, only the size of the respective
ring buffer is updated. When tracing/buffer_size_kb is read, it reports
'X' to indicate that sizes of per_cpu ring buffers are not equivalent.

Currently, trace_printk() uses a single buffer to write into
to calculate the size and format needed to save the trace. To
do this safely in an SMP environment, a spin_lock() is taken
to only allow one writer at a time to the buffer. But this could
also affect what is being traced, and add synchronization that
would not be there otherwise.
Ideally, using percpu buffers would be useful, but since trace_printk()
is only used in development, having per cpu buffers for something
never used is a waste of space. Thus, the use of the trace_bprintk()
format section is changed to be used for static fmts as well as dynamic ones.
Then at boot up, we can check if the section that holds the trace_printk
formats is non-empty, and if it does contain something, then we
know a trace_printk() has been added to the kernel. At this time
the trace_printk per cpu buffers are allocated. A check is also
done at module load time in case a module is added that contains a
trace_printk().
Once the buffers are allocated, they are never freed. If you use
a trace_printk() then you should know what you are doing.
A buffer is made for each type of context:
normal
softirq
irq
nmi
The context is checked and the appropriate buffer is used.
This allows for totally lockless usage of trace_printk(),
and they no longer even disable interrupts.

While debugging a latency with someone on IRC (mirage335) on #linux-rt (OFTC),
we discovered that the stacktrace output of the latency tracers
(preemptirqsoff) was empty.
This bug was caused by the creation of the dynamic length stack trace
again (like commit 12b5da3 "tracing: Fix ent_size in trace output" was).
This bug is caused by the latency tracers requiring the next event
to determine the time between the current event and the next. But by
grabbing the next event, the iter->ent_size is set to the next event
instead of the current one. As the stacktrace event is the last event,
this makes the ent_size zero and causes nothing to be printed for
the stack trace. The dynamic stacktrace uses the ent_size to determine
how much of the stack can be printed. The ent_size of zero means
no stack.
The simple fix is to save the iter->ent_size before finding the next event.
Note, mirage335 asked to remain anonymous from LKML and git, so I will
not add the Reported-by and Tested-by tags, even though he did report
the issue and tested the fix.

The change to make tracing_on affect only the ftrace ring buffer, caused
a bug where it wont affect any ring buffer. The problem was that the buffer
of the trace_array was passed to the write function and not the trace array
itself.
The trace_array can change the buffer when running a latency tracer. If this
happens, then the buffer being disabled may not be the buffer currently used
by ftrace. This will cause the tracing_on file to become useless.
The simple fix is to pass the trace_array to the write function instead of
the buffer. Then the actual buffer may be changed.

I still need to send a few checkpoint/restore patches. I've been
wobbly about merging them because I'm wobbly about the overall
prospects for success of the project. But after speaking with Pavel
