Oleg Nesterov 1a11126bcb tracing: Turn event/id->i_private into call->event.type
event_id_read() is racy, ftrace_event_call can be already freed
by trace_remove_event_call() callers.

Change event_create_dir() to pass "data = call->event.type", this
is all event_id_read() needs. ftrace_event_id_fops no longer needs
tracing_open_generic().

We add the new helper, event_file_data(), to read ->i_private, it
will have more users.

Note: currently ACCESS_ONCE() and "id != 0" check are not needed,
but we are going to change event_remove/rmdir to clear ->i_private.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 102c9323c3 tracing: Add __tracepoint_string() to export string pointers
There are several tracepoints (mostly in RCU), that reference a string
pointer and uses the print format of "%s" to display the string that
exists in the kernel, instead of copying the actual string to the
ring buffer (saves time and ring buffer space).

But this has an issue with userspace tools that read the binary buffers
that has the address of the string but has no access to what the string
itself is. The end result is just output that looks like:

 rcu_dyntick:          ffffffff818adeaa 1 0
 rcu_dyntick:          ffffffff818adeb5 0 140000000000000
 rcu_dyntick:          ffffffff818adeb5 0 140000000000000
 rcu_utilization:      ffffffff8184333b
 rcu_utilization:      ffffffff8184333b

The above is pretty useless when read by the userspace tools. Ideally
we would want something that looks like this:

 rcu_dyntick:          Start 1 0
 rcu_dyntick:          End 0 140000000000000
 rcu_dyntick:          Start 140000000000000 0
 rcu_callback:         rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880037aff710 func=put_cred_rcu 0/4
 rcu_callback:         rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880078961980 func=file_free_rcu 0/5
 rcu_dyntick:          End 0 1

The trace_printk() which also only stores the address of the string
format instead of recording the string into the buffer itself, exports
the mapping of kernel addresses to format strings via the printk_format
file in the debugfs tracing directory.

The tracepoint strings can use this same method and output the format
to the same file and the userspace tools will be able to decipher
the address without any modification.

The tracepoint strings need its own section to save the strings because
the trace_printk section will cause the trace_printk() buffers to be
allocated if anything exists within the section. trace_printk() is only
used for debugging and should never exist in the kernel, we can not use
the trace_printk sections.

Add a new tracepoint_str section that will also be examined by the output
of the printk_format file.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 09d8091c02 tracing: Remove locking trace_types_lock from tracing_reset_all_online_cpus()
Commit a82274151a "tracing: Protect ftrace_trace_arrays list in trace_events.c"
added taking the trace_types_lock mutex in trace_events.c as there were
several locations that needed it for protection. Unfortunately, it also
encapsulated a call to tracing_reset_all_online_cpus() which also takes
the trace_types_lock, causing a deadlock.

This happens when a module has tracepoints and has been traced. When the
module is removed, the trace events module notifier will grab the
trace_types_lock, do a bunch of clean ups, and also clears the buffer
by calling tracing_reset_all_online_cpus. This doesn't happen often
which explains why it wasn't caught right away.

Commit a82274151a was marked for stable, which means this must be
sent to stable too.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 195a8afc7a ftrace: Add check for NULL regs if ops has SAVE_REGS set
If a ftrace ops is registered with the SAVE_REGS flag set, and there's
already a ops registered to one of its functions but without the
SAVE_REGS flag, there's a small race window where the SAVE_REGS ops gets
added to the list of callbacks to call for that function before the
callback trampoline gets set to save the regs.

The problem is, the function is not currently saving regs, which opens
a small race window where the ops that is expecting regs to be passed
to it, wont. This can cause a crash if the callback were to reference
the regs, as the SAVE_REGS guarantees that regs will be set.

To fix this, we add a check in the loop case where it checks if the ops
has the SAVE_REGS flag set, and if so, it will ignore it if regs is
not set.

Oleg Nesterov 649e9c70da tracing: Introduce trace_create_cpu_file() and tracing_get_cpu()
Every "file_operations" used by tracing_init_debugfs_percpu is buggy.
f_op->open/etc does:

	1. struct trace_cpu *tc = inode->i_private;
	   struct trace_array *tr = tc->tr;

	2. trace_array_get(tr) or fail;

	3. do_something(tc);

But tc (and tr) can be already freed before trace_array_get() is called.
And it doesn't matter whether this file is per-cpu or it was created by
init_tracer_debugfs(), free_percpu() or kfree() are equally bad.

Note that even 1. is not safe, the freed memory can be unmapped. But even
if it was safe trace_array_get() can wrongly succeed if we also race with
the next new_instance_create() which can re-allocate the same tr, or tc
was overwritten and ->tr points to the valid tr. In this case 3. uses the
freed/reused memory.

Add the new trivial helper, trace_create_cpu_file() which simply calls
trace_create_file() and encodes "cpu" in "struct inode". Another helper,
tracing_get_cpu() will be used to read cpu_nr-or-RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS.

The patch abuses ->i_cdev to encode the number, it is never used unless
the file is S_ISCHR(). But we could use something else, say, i_bytes or
even ->d_fsdata. In any case this hack is hidden inside these 2 helpers,
it would be trivial to change them if needed.

This patch only changes tracing_init_debugfs_percpu() to use the new
trace_create_cpu_file(), the next patches will change file_operations.

Note: tracing_get_cpu(inode) is always safe but you can't trust the
result unless trace_array_get() was called, without trace_types_lock
which acts as a barrier it can wrongly return RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS.

Oleg Nesterov cd458ba9d5 tracing: Do not (ab)use trace_seq in event_id_read()
event_id_read() has no reason to kmalloc "struct trace_seq"
(more than PAGE_SIZE!), it can use a small buffer instead.

Note: "if (*ppos) return 0" looks strange and even wrong,
simple_read_from_buffer() handles ppos != 0 case corrrectly.

And it seems that almost every user of trace_seq in this file
should be converted too. Unless you use seq_open(), trace_seq
buys nothing compared to the raw buffer, but it needs a bit
more memory and code.

Oleg Nesterov 7710b63995 tracing: Simplify the iteration logic in f_start/f_next
f_next() looks overcomplicated, and it is not strictly correct
even if this doesn't matter.

Say, FORMAT_FIELD_SEPERATOR should not return NULL (means EOF)
if trace_get_fields() returns an empty list, we should simply
advance to FORMAT_PRINTFMT as we do when we find the end of list.

1. Change f_next() to return "struct list_head *" rather than
   "ftrace_event_field *", and change f_show() to do list_entry().

   This simplifies the code a bit, only f_show() needs to know
   about ftrace_event_field, and f_next() can play with ->prev
   directly

2. Change f_next() to not play with ->prev / return inside the
   switch() statement. It can simply set node = head/common_head,
   the prev-or-advance-to-the-next-magic below does all work.

While at it. f_start() looks overcomplicated too. I don't think
*pos == 0 makes sense as a separate case, just change this code
to do "while" instead of "do/while".

The patch also moves f_start() down, close to f_stop(). This is
purely cosmetic, just to make the locking added by the next patch
more clear/visible.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 8f76899339 tracing: Add ref_data to function and fgraph tracer structs
The selftest for function and function graph tracers are defined as
__init, as they are only executed at boot up. The "tracer" structs
that are associated to those tracers are not setup as __init as they
are used after boot. To stop mismatch warnings, those structures
need to be annotated with __ref_data.

Currently, the tracer structures are defined to __read_mostly, as they
do not really change. But in the future they should be converted to
consts, but that will take a little work because they have a "next"
pointer that gets updated when they are registered. That will have to
wait till the next major release.

Linus Torvalds c72bb31691 The majority of the changes here are cleanups for the large changes that
were added to 3.10, which includes several bug fixes that have been
 marked for stable.
 
 As for new features, there were a few, but nothing to write to LWN about.
 These include:
 
 New function trigger called "dump" and "cpudump" that will cause
 ftrace to dump its buffer to the console when the function is called.
 The difference between "dump" and "cpudump" is that "dump" will dump
 the entire contents of the ftrace buffer, where as "cpudump" will only
 dump the contents of the ftrace buffer for the CPU that called the function.
 
 Another small enhancement is a new sysctl switch called "traceoff_on_warning"
 which, when enabled, will disable tracing if any WARN_ON() is triggered.
 This is useful if you want to debug what caused a warning and do not
 want to risk losing your trace data by the ring buffer overwriting the
 data before you can disable it. There's also a kernel command line
 option that will make this enabled at boot up called the same thing.

Merge tag 'trace-3.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull tracing changes from Steven Rostedt:
 "The majority of the changes here are cleanups for the large changes
  that were added to 3.10, which includes several bug fixes that have
  been marked for stable.

  As for new features, there were a few, but nothing to write to LWN
  about.  These include:

  New function trigger called "dump" and "cpudump" that will cause
  ftrace to dump its buffer to the console when the function is called.
  The difference between "dump" and "cpudump" is that "dump" will dump
  the entire contents of the ftrace buffer, where as "cpudump" will only
  dump the contents of the ftrace buffer for the CPU that called the
  function.

  Another small enhancement is a new sysctl switch called
  "traceoff_on_warning" which, when enabled, will disable tracing if any
  WARN_ON() is triggered.  This is useful if you want to debug what
  caused a warning and do not want to risk losing your trace data by the
  ring buffer overwriting the data before you can disable it.  There's
  also a kernel command line option that will make this enabled at boot
  up called the same thing"

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 2a6c24afab tracing: Fix race between deleting buffer and setting events
While analyzing the code, I discovered that there's a potential race between
deleting a trace instance and setting events. There are a few races that can
occur if events are being traced as the buffer is being deleted. Mostly the
problem comes with freeing the descriptor used by the trace event callback.
To prevent problems like this, the events are disabled before the buffer is
deleted. The problem with the current solution is that the event_mutex is let
go between disabling the events and freeing the files, which means that the events
could be enabled again while the freeing takes place.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 8e2e2fa471 tracing: Add trace_array_get/put() to event handling
Commit a695cb5816 "tracing: Prevent deleting instances when they are being read"
tried to fix a race between deleting a trace instance and reading contents
of a trace file. But it wasn't good enough. The following could crash the kernel:

 # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances
 # ( while :; do mkdir foo; rmdir foo; done ) &
 # ( while :; do echo 1 > foo/events/sched/sched_switch 2> /dev/null; done ) &

Luckily this can only be done by root user, but it should be fixed regardless.

The problem is that a delete of the file can happen after the write to the event
is opened, but before the enabling happens.

The solution is to make sure the trace_array is available before succeeding in
opening for write, and incerment the ref counter while opened.

Now the instance can be deleted when the events are writing to the buffer,
but the deletion of the instance will disable all events before the instance
is actually deleted.

tried to fix a race between deleting a trace instance and reading contents
of a trace file. But it wasn't good enough. The following could crash the kernel:

 # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances

Luckily this can only be done by root user, but it should be fixed regardless.

The problem is that a delete of the file can happen after the reader starts
to open the file but before it grabs the trace_types_mutex.

The solution is to validate the trace array before using it. If the trace
array does not exist in the list of trace arrays, then it returns -ENODEV.

There's a possibility that a trace_array could be deleted and a new one
created and the open would open its file instead. But that is very minor as
it will just return the data of the new trace array, it may confuse the user
but it will not crash the system. As this can only be done by root anyway,
the race will only occur if root is deleting what its trying to read at
the same time.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) f1ed7c741f ftrace: Do not run selftest if command line parameter is set
If the kernel command line ftrace filter parameters are set
(ftrace_filter or ftrace_notrace), force the function self test to
pass, with a warning why it was forced.

If the user adds a filter to the kernel command line, it is assumed
that they know what they are doing, and the self test should just not
run instead of failing (which disables function tracing) or clearing
the filter, as that will probably annoy the user.

If the user wants the selftest to run, the message will tell them why
it did not.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 10246fa35d tracing: Use flag buffer_disabled for irqsoff tracer
If the ring buffer is disabled and the irqsoff tracer records a trace it
will clear out its buffer and lose the data it had previously recorded.

Currently there's a callback when writing to the tracing_of file, but if
tracing is disabled via the function tracer trigger, it will not inform
the irqsoff tracer to stop recording.

By using the "mirror" flag (buffer_disabled) in the trace_array, that keeps
track of the status of the trace_array's buffer, it gives the irqsoff
tracer a fast way to know if it should record a new trace or not.
The flag may be a little behind the real state of the buffer, but it
should not affect the trace too much. It's more important for the irqsoff
tracer to be fast.

Tom Zanussi 3baa5e4cf2 tracing: Fix disabling of soft disable
The comment on the soft disable 'disable' case of
__ftrace_event_enable_disable() states that the soft disable bit
should be cleared in that case, but currently only the soft mode bit
is actually cleared.

This essentially leaves the standard non-soft-enable enable/disable
paths as the only way to clear the soft disable flag, but the soft
disable bit should also be cleared when removing a trigger with '!'.

Also, the SOFT_DISABLED bit should never be set if SOFT_MODE is
cleared.

This fixes the above discrepancies.

enable_trace_probe() and disable_trace_probe() should not worry about

function can't race with itself or trace_events.c

And note that this code depended on event_mutex even before 41a7dd420c

kprobe_register() can never race with itself. Otherwise, say, tp->flags
manipulations are racy.

 # ls /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/
enable  filter  j

Notice that the 'i' is missing from the kprobes directory.

The console produces:

"Failed to create system directory kprobes"

This is because kprobes passes in a allocated name for the system
and the ftrace event subsystem saves off that name instead of creating
a duplicate for it. But the kprobes may free the system name making
the pointer to it invalid.

This bug was introduced by 92edca073c "tracing: Use direct field, type
and system names" which switched from using kstrdup() on the system name
in favor of just keeping apointer to it, as the internal ftrace event
system names are static and exist for the life of the computer being booted.

Instead of reverting back to duplicating system names again, we can use
core_kernel_data() to determine if the passed in name was allocated or
static. Then use the MSB of the ref_count to be a flag to keep track if
the name was allocated or not. Then we can still save from having to duplicate
strings that will always exist, but still copy the ones that may be freed.

Add a traceoff_on_warning option in both the kernel command line as well

a warning is hit, the print caused by the warning can flood the trace with
the functions that producing the output for the warning. This can make the
resulting trace useless by either hiding where the bug happened, or worse,
by overflowing the buffer and losing the trace of the bug totally.

Steven Rostedt 1a891cf19c tracing: Add binary '&' filter for events
There are some cases when filtering on a set flag of a field of a tracepoint
is useful. But currently the only filtering commands for numbered fields
is ==, !=, <, <=, >, >=. This does not help when you just want to trace if
a specific flag is set. For example:

 > # sudo trace-cmd record -e brcmfmac:brcmf_dbg -f 'level & 0x40000'
 > disable all
 > enable brcmfmac:brcmf_dbg
 > path = /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/brcmfmac/brcmf_dbg/enable
 > (level & 0x40000)
 > ^
 > parse_error: Invalid operator
 >

When trying to trace brcmf_dbg when level has its 1 << 18 bit set, the
filter fails to perform.

By allowing a binary '&' operation, this gives the user the ability to
test a bit.

Note, a binary '|' is not added, as it doesn't make sense as fields must
be compared to constants (for now), and ORing a constant will always return
true.

Steven Rostedt 7614c3dc74 ftrace: Use schedule_on_each_cpu() as a heavy synchronize_sched()
The function tracer uses preempt_disable/enable_notrace() for
synchronization between reading registered ftrace_ops and unregistering
them.

Most of the ftrace_ops are global permanent structures that do not
require this synchronization. That is, ops may be added and removed from
the hlist but are never freed, and wont hurt if a synchronization is
missed.

But this is not true for dynamically created ftrace_ops or control_ops,
which are used by the perf function tracing.

The problem here is that the function tracer can be used to trace
kernel/user context switches as well as going to and from idle.
Basically, it can be used to trace blind spots of the RCU subsystem.
This means that even though preempt_disable() is done, a
synchronize_sched() will ignore CPUs that haven't made it out of user
space or idle. These can include functions that are being traced just
before entering or exiting the kernel sections.

To implement the RCU synchronization, instead of using
synchronize_sched() the use of schedule_on_each_cpu() is performed. This
means that when a dynamically allocated ftrace_ops, or a control ops is
being unregistered, all CPUs must be touched and execute a ftrace_sync()
stub function via the work queues. This will rip CPUs out from idle or
in dynamic tick mode. This only happens when a user disables perf
function tracing or other dynamically allocated function tracers, but it
allows us to continue to debug RCU and context tracking with function
tracing.

Wang YanQing 238ae93d69 tracing: Fix file mode of free_buffer
Commit 4f271a2a60
(tracing: Add a proc file to stop tracing and free buffer)
implement a method to free up ring buffer in kernel memory
in the release code path of free_buffer's fd.

Then we don't need read/write support for free_buffer,
indeed we just have a dummy write fop, and don't implement read fop.

So the 0200 is more reasonable file mode for free_buffer than
the current file mode 0644.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 90e3c03c3a tracing: Add function probe to trigger a ftrace dump of current CPU trace
Add the "cpudump" command to have the current CPU ftrace buffer dumped
to console if a function is hit. This is useful when debugging a
tripple fault, where you have an idea of a function that is called
just before the tripple fault occurs, and can tell ftrace to dump its
content out to the console before it continues.

This differs from the "dump" command as it only dumps the content of
the ring buffer for the currently executing CPU, and does not show
the contents of the other CPUs.

Format is:

  <function>:cpudump

echo 'bad_address:cpudump' > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter

To remove this:

echo '!bad_address:cpudump' > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter

Yoshihiro YUNOMAE 58e8eedf18 tracing: Fix outputting formats of x86-tsc and counter when use trace_clock
Outputting formats of x86-tsc and counter should be a raw format, but after
applying the patch(2b6080f28c), the format was
changed to nanosec. This is because the global variable trace_clock_id was used.
When we use multiple buffers, clock_id of each sub-buffer should be used. Then,
this patch uses tr->clock_id instead of the global variable trace_clock_id.

[ Basically, this fixes a regression where the multibuffer code changed the
  trace_clock file to update tr->clock_id but the traces still use the old
  global trace_clock_id variable, negating the file's effect. The global
  trace_clock_id variable is obsolete and removed. - SR ]

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) f17a519485 tracing: Use current_uid() for critical time tracing
The irqsoff tracer records the max time that interrupts are disabled.
There are hooks in the assembly code that calls back into the tracer when
interrupts are disabled or enabled.

When they are enabled, the tracer checks if the amount of time they
were disabled is larger than the previous recorded max interrupts off
time. If it is, it creates a snapshot of the currently running trace
to store where the last largest interrupts off time was held and how
it happened.

What happened was entering into the user code, the interrupts were enabled
and a max interrupts off was recorded. The trace buffer was saved along with
various information about the task: comm, pid, uid, priority, etc.

The uid is recorded with task_uid(tsk). But this is a macro that uses rcu_read_lock()
to retrieve the data, and this happened to happen where RCU is blind (user_enter).

As only the preempt and irqs off tracers can have this happen, and they both
only have the tsk == current, if tsk == current, use current_uid() instead of
task_uid(), as current_uid() does not use RCU as only current can change its uid.

This fixes the RCU suspicious splat.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) ca1643186d tracing: Fix crash when ftrace=nop on the kernel command line
If ftrace=<tracer> is on the kernel command line, when that tracer is
registered, it will be initiated by tracing_set_tracer() to execute that
tracer.

The nop tracer is just a stub tracer that is used to have no tracer
enabled. It is assigned at early bootup as it is the default tracer.

But if ftrace=nop is on the kernel command line, the registering of the
nop tracer will call tracing_set_tracer() which will try to execute
the nop tracer. But it expects tr->current_trace to be assigned something
as it usually is assigned to the nop tracer. As it hasn't been assigned
to anything yet, it causes the system to crash.

The simple fix is to move the tr->current_trace = nop before registering
the nop tracer. The functionality is still the same as the nop tracer
doesn't do anything anyway.

This fixes the bug by returning -EBUSY, because the reason
why it fails is that the module is being removed at that time.

 and the new function probes).
 
 He also discovered and fixed some bugs in doing so. When pulling in his

 This also includes a compile fix for some archs that select the ring buffer

 I based this off of the last patch you took from me that fixed the merge

  kprobes up to par with the latest changes to ftrace (multi buffering
  and the new function probes).

  He also discovered and fixed some bugs in doing so.  When pulling in
  his patches, I also found a few minor bugs as well and fixed them.

  This also includes a compile fix for some archs that select the ring
  buffer but not tracing.

  I based this off of the last patch you took from me that fixed the
  merge conflict error, as that was the commit that had all the changes
  I needed for this set of changes."

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 19dd603e45 ftrace: Fix function probe when more than one probe is added
When the first function probe is added and the function tracer
is updated the functions are modified to call the probe.
But when a second function is added, it updates the function
records to have the second function also update, but it fails
to update the actual function itself.

This prevents the second (or third or forth and so on) probes
from having their functions called.

does not need to be registered again when added a new probe.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 23ea9c4dda ftrace: Fix the output of enabled_functions debug file
The enabled_functions debugfs file was created to be able to see
what functions have been modified from nops to calling a tracer.

The current method uses the counter in the function record.
As when a ftrace_ops is registered to a function, its count
increases. But that doesn't mean that the function is actively
being traced. /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled can be set to zero
which would disable it, as well as something can go wrong and
we can think its enabled when only the counter is set.

The record's FTRACE_FL_ENABLED flag is set or cleared when its
function is modified. That is a much more accurate way of knowing
what function is enabled or not.

Both __trace_add_new_event() and __trace_early_add_new_event() do
basically the same thing, except that __trace_add_new_event() does
a little more.

Instead of having duplicate code between the two functions, add
a helper function trace_create_new_event() that both can use.
This will help against having bugs fixed in one function but not
the other.

Masami Hiramatsu 1cf4c0732d tracing: Modify soft-mode only if there's no other referrer
Modify soft-mode flag only if no other soft-mode referrer
(currently only the ftrace triggers) by using a reference
counter in each ftrace_event_file.

Without this fix, adding and removing several different
enable/disable_event triggers on the same event clear
soft-mode bit from the ftrace_event_file. This also
happens with a typo of glob on setting triggers.

e.g.

 # echo vfs_symlink:enable_event:net:netif_rx > set_ftrace_filter
 # cat events/net/netif_rx/enable
 0*
 # echo typo_func:enable_event:net:netif_rx > set_ftrace_filter
 # cat events/net/netif_rx/enable
 0
 # cat set_ftrace_filter
 #### all functions enabled ####
 vfs_symlink:enable_event:net:netif_rx:unlimited

As above, we still have a trigger, but soft-mode is gone.

Masami Hiramatsu 3f2367ba7c ftrace: Cleanup regex_lock and ftrace_lock around hash updating
Cleanup regex_lock and ftrace_lock locking points around
ftrace_ops hash update code.

The new rule is that regex_lock protects ops->*_hash
read-update-write code for each ftrace_ops. Usually,
hash update is done by following sequence.

1. allocate a new local hash and copy the original hash.
2. update the local hash.
3. move(actually, copy) back the local hash to ftrace_ops.
4. update ftrace entries if needed.
5. release the local hash.

This makes regex_lock protect #1-#4, and ftrace_lock
to protect #3, #4 and adding and removing ftrace_ops from the
ftrace_ops_list. The ftrace_lock protects #3 as well because
the move functions update the entries too.

To fix that, this introduces a finer regex_lock for each ftrace_ops.
ftrace_regex_lock is too big of a lock which protects all
filter/notrace_hash operations, but it doesn't need to be a global
lock after supporting multiple ftrace_ops because each ftrace_ops
has its own filter/notrace_hash.

as well.

Masami Hiramatsu a5b85bd155 tracing: Don't succeed if event_enable_func did not register anything
Return 0 instead of the number of activated ftrace function probes if
event_enable_func succeeded and return an error code if it failed or
did not register any functions. But it currently returns the number
of registered functions and if it didn't register anything, it returns 0,
but that is considered success.

This also fixes the return value. As if it succeeds, it returns the
number of functions that were enabled, which is returned back to
the user in ftrace_regex_write (the write() return code). If only
one function is enabled, then the return code of the write is one,
and this can confuse the user program in thinking it only wrote 1
byte.

As the wake up logic for waiters on the buffer has been moved
from the tracing code to the ring buffer, it requires also adding
IRQ_WORK as the wake up code is performed via irq_work.

This fixes compile breakage when a user of the ring buffer is selected
but tracing and irq_work are not.

Linus Torvalds 9e8529afc4 Tracing updates for Linux 3.10
Along with the usual minor fixes and clean ups there are a few major
 changes with this pull request.
 
 1) Multiple buffers for the ftrace facility
 
 This feature has been requested by many people over the last few years.
 I even heard that Google was about to implement it themselves. I finally
 had time and cleaned up the code such that you can now create multiple
 instances of the ftrace buffer and have different events go to different
 buffers. This way, a low frequency event will not be lost in the noise
 of a high frequency event.
 
 Note, currently only events can go to different buffers, the tracers
 (ie. function, function_graph and the latency tracers) still can only
 be written to the main buffer.
 
 2) The function tracer triggers have now been extended.
 
 The function tracer had two triggers. One to enable tracing when a
 function is hit, and one to disable tracing. Now you can record a
 stack trace on a single (or many) function(s), take a snapshot of the
 buffer (copy it to the snapshot buffer), and you can enable or disable
 an event to be traced when a function is hit.
 
 3) A perf clock has been added.
 
 A "perf" clock can be chosen to be used when tracing. This will cause
 ftrace to use the same clock as perf uses, and hopefully this will make
 it easier to interleave the perf and ftrace data for analysis.

Linus Torvalds 0a82a8d132 Revert "block: add missing block_bio_complete() tracepoint"
This reverts commit 3a366e614d.

Wanlong Gao reports that it causes a kernel panic on his machine several
minutes after boot. Reverting it removes the panic.

Jens says:
 "It's not quite clear why that is yet, so I think we should just revert
  the commit for 3.9 final (which I'm assuming is pretty close).

  The wifi is crap at the LSF hotel, so sending this email instead of
  queueing up a revert and pull request."

to return if hlist_empty(call->perf_events).

Note: this is not uprobe-specific, we can change other users too.
