Mike Travis 65c0118453 cpumask: Replace cpumask_of_cpu with cpumask_of_cpu_ptr
* This patch replaces the dangerous lvalue version of cpumask_of_cpu
    with new cpumask_of_cpu_ptr macros.  These are patterned after the
    node_to_cpumask_ptr macros.

    In general terms, if there is a cpumask_of_cpu_map[] then a pointer to
    the cpumask_of_cpu_map[cpu] entry is used.  The cpumask_of_cpu_map
    is provided when there is a large NR_CPUS count, reducing
    greatly the amount of code generated and stack space used for
    cpumask_of_cpu().  The pointer to the cpumask_t value is needed for
    calling set_cpus_allowed_ptr() to reduce the amount of stack space
    needed to pass the cpumask_t value.

    If there isn't a cpumask_of_cpu_map[], then a temporary variable is
    declared and filled in with value from cpumask_of_cpu(cpu) as well as
    a pointer variable pointing to this temporary variable.  Afterwards,
    the pointer is used to reference the cpumask value.  The compiler
    will optimize out the extra dereference through the pointer as well
    as the stack space used for the pointer, resulting in identical code.

    A good example of the orthogonal usages is in net/sunrpc/svc.c:

	case SVC_POOL_PERCPU:
	{
		unsigned int cpu = m->pool_to[pidx];
		cpumask_of_cpu_ptr(cpumask, cpu);

		*oldmask = current->cpus_allowed;
		set_cpus_allowed_ptr(current, cpumask);
		return 1;
	}
	case SVC_POOL_PERNODE:
	{
		unsigned int node = m->pool_to[pidx];
		node_to_cpumask_ptr(nodecpumask, node);

		*oldmask = current->cpus_allowed;
		set_cpus_allowed_ptr(current, nodecpumask);
		return 1;
	}

Steven Rostedt 1e01cb0c6f ftrace: only trace preempt off with preempt tracer
When PREEMPT_TRACER and IRQSOFF_TRACER are both configured and irqsoff
tracer is running, the preempt_off sections might also be traced.

Thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing out my mistake of spin_lock disabling
interrupts while he was reviewing ftrace.txt. Seems that my example I used
actually hit this bug.

Things get weird between lockdep and ftrace because ftrace can be called
within lockdep internal code (via the mcount pointer) and lockdep can be
called with ftrace (via spin_locks).

Steven Rostedt 60bc080090 ftrace: separate out the function enabled variable
Currently the function tracer uses the global tracer_enabled variable that
is used to keep track if the tracer is enabled or not. The function tracing
startup needs to be separated out, otherwise the internal happenings of
the tracer startup is also recorded.

This patch creates a ftrace_function_enabled variable to all the starting
of the function traces to happen after everything has been started.

Steven Rostedt 007c05d4d2 ftrace: move sched_switch enable after markers
We have two markers now that are enabled on sched_switch. One that records
the context switching and the other that records task wake ups. Currently
we enable the tracing first and then set the markers. This causes some
confusing traces:

# tracer: sched_switch
#
#           TASK-PID   CPU#    TIMESTAMP  FUNCTION
#              | |      |          |         |
       trace-cmd-3973  [00]   115.834817:   3973:120:R   +     3:  0:S
       trace-cmd-3973  [01]   115.834910:   3973:120:R   +     6:  0:S
       trace-cmd-3973  [02]   115.834910:   3973:120:R   +     9:  0:S
       trace-cmd-3973  [03]   115.834910:   3973:120:R   +    12:  0:S
       trace-cmd-3973  [02]   115.834910:   3973:120:R   +     9:  0:S
          <idle>-0     [02]   115.834910:      0:140:R ==>  3973:120:R

Here we see that trace-cmd with PID 3973 wakes up task 9 but the next line
shows the idle task doing a context switch to task 3973.

Enabling the tracing to _after_ the markers are set creates a much saner
output:

# tracer: sched_switch
#
#           TASK-PID   CPU#    TIMESTAMP  FUNCTION
#              | |      |          |         |
          <idle>-0     [02]  7922.634225:      0:140:R ==>  4790:120:R
       trace-cmd-4789  [03]  7922.634225:      0:140:R   +  4790:120:R

Abhishek Sagar ecea656d1d ftrace: freeze kprobe'd records
Let records identified as being kprobe'd be marked as "frozen". The trouble
with records which have a kprobe installed on their mcount call-site is
that they don't get updated. So if such a function which is currently being
traced gets its tracing disabled due to a new filter rule (or because it
was added to the notrace list) then it won't be updated and continue being
traced. This patch allows scanning of all frozen records during tracing to
check if they should be traced.

Abhishek Sagar a4500b84c5 ftrace: fix "notrace" filtering priority
This is a fix to give notrace filter rules priority over "set_ftrace_filter"
rules.

This fix ensures that functions which are set to be filtered and are
concurrently marked as "notrace" don't get recorded. As of now, if
a record is marked as FTRACE_FL_FILTER and is enabled, then the notrace
flag is not checked. Tested on x86-32.

The intent was always to filter core kernel functions to prevent their freeing.
Here's a fix which should allow re-recording of module call-sites.

Abhishek Sagar eb9a7bf091 ftrace: add debugfs entry 'failures'
Identify functions which had their mcount call-site updates failed. This can
help us track functions which ftrace shouldn't fiddle with, and are thus not
being traced. If there is no race with any external agent which is modifying
the mcount call-site, then this file displays no entries (normal case).

Abhishek Sagar 0eb967012e ftrace: prevent freeing of all failed updates
Prevent freeing of records which cause problems and correspond to function from
core kernel text. A new flag, FTRACE_FL_CONVERTED is used to mark a record
as "converted". All other records are patched lazily to NOPs. Failed records
now also remain on frace_hash table. Each invocation of ftrace_record_ip now
checks whether the traced function has ever been recorded (including past
failures) and doesn't re-record it again.

Steven Rostedt ad90c0e3ce ftrace: user update and disable dynamic ftrace daemon
In dynamic ftrace, the mcount function starts off pointing to a stub
function that just returns.

On start up, the call to the stub is modified to point to a "record_ip"
function. The job of the record_ip function is to add the function to
a pre-allocated hash list. If the function is already there, it simply is
ignored, otherwise it is added to the list.

Later, a ftraced daemon wakes up and calls kstop_machine if any functions
have been recorded, and changes the calls to the recorded functions to
a simple nop.  If no functions were recorded, the daemon goes back to sleep.

The daemon wakes up once a second to see if it needs to update any newly
recorded functions into nops.  Usually it does not, but if a lot of code
has been executed for the first time in the kernel, the ftraced daemon
will call kstop_machine to update those into nops.

The problem currently is that there's no way to stop the daemon from doing
this, and it can cause unneeded latencies (800us which for some is bothersome).

This patch adds a new file /debugfs/tracing/ftraced_enabled. If the daemon
is active, reading this will return "enabled\n" and "disabled\n" when the
daemon is not running. To disable the daemon, the user can echo "0" or
"disable" into this file, and "1" or "enable" to re-enable the daemon.

Since the daemon is used to convert the functions into nops to increase
the performance of the system, I also added that anytime something is
written into the ftraced_enabled file, kstop_machine will run if there
are new functions that have been detected that need to be converted.

This way the user can disable the daemon but still be able to control the
conversion of the mcount calls to nops by simply,

  "echo 0 > /debugfs/tracing/ftraced_enabled"

when they need to do more conversions.

To see the number of converted functions:

  "cat /debugfs/tracing/dyn_ftrace_total_info"

Abhishek Sagar 76094a2cf4 ftrace: distinguish kretprobe'd functions in trace logs
Tracing functions via ftrace which have a kretprobe installed on them, can produce misleading output in their trace logs. E.g, consider the correct trace of the following sequence:

do_IRQ()
{
~
  irq_enter();
~
}

Trace log (sample):
<idle>-0     [00] 4154504455.781616: irq_enter <- do_IRQ

But if irq_enter() has a kretprobe installed on it, the return value stored on the stack at each invocation is modified to divert the return to a kprobe trampoline function called kretprobe_trampoline(). So with this the trace would (currently) look like:

<idle>-0     [00] 4154504455.781616: irq_enter <- kretprobe_trampoline

Now this is quite misleading to the end user, as it suggests something that didn't actually happen. So just to avoid such misinterpretations, the inlined patch aims to output such a log as:

<idle>-0     [00] 4154504455.781616: irq_enter <- [unknown/kretprobe'd]

Hi Steven,

I noticed that concurrent instances of ftrace_record_ip()

ftrace_ip_in_hash() (before acquiring ftrace_shutdown_lock)
and ftrace_add_hash(). If it's so then this should fix it.

Steven Rostedt 41c52c0db9 ftrace: set_ftrace_notrace feature
While debugging latencies in the RT kernel, I found that it would be nice
to be able to filter away functions from the trace than just to filter
on functions.

I added a new interface to the debugfs tracing directory called

  set_ftrace_notrace

When dynamic frace is enabled, this lets you filter away functions that will
not be recorded in the trace. It is similar to adding 'notrace' to those
functions but by doing it without recompiling the kernel.

Here's how set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace interact. Remember, if
set_ftrace_filter is set, it removes all functions from the trace execpt for
those listed in the set_ftrace_filter. set_ftrace_notrace will prevent those
functions from being traced.

If you were to set one function in both set_ftrace_filter and
set_ftrace_notrace and that function was the same, then you would end up
with an empty trace.

the set of functions to trace is:

  set_ftrace_filter == empty then

     all functions not in set_ftrace_notrace

  else

     set of the set_ftrace_filter and not in set of set_ftrace_notrace.

Steven Rostedt da89a7a253 ftrace: remove printks from irqsoff trace
Printing out new max latencies was fine for the old RT tracer. But for
mainline it is a bit messy. We also need to test if the run queue
is locked before we can do the print. This means that we may not be
printing out latencies if the run queue is locked on another CPU.
This produces inconsistencies in the output.

This patch simply removes the print altogether.

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.
