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()
use the generic ftrace_modify_all_code(). This requires that the
default ftrace_replace_code() becomes a weak function so that an

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.

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.

Instead of just sorting the ip's of the functions per ftrace page,

According to Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt:

This is a mask that lets the user only trace

The tracing_cpumask currently doesn't affect the tracing state of

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 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.

"These are fixes for frv(1), blackfin(2), powerpc(1) and xtensa(4).
Fortunately the touches are nearly all specific to files just used by
the arch in question. The two touches to shared/common files
[kernel/irq/debug.h and drivers/pci/Makefile] are trivial to assess as
no risk to anyone.
Half of them relate to xtensa directly. It was only when I fixed the
last xtensa issue that I realized that the arch has been broken for a
significant time, and isn't a specific v3.4 regression. So if you
wanted, we could leave xtensa lying bleeding in the street for a
couple more weeks and queue those for 3.5. But given they are no risk
to anyone outside of xtensa, I figured to just leave them in.
If you are OK with taking the xtensa fixes, then please pull to get:
- one last implicit include uncovered by system.h that is in a file
specific to just one powerpc defconfig. (I'd sync'd with BenH).
- fix an oversight in the PCI makefile where shared code wasn't being

- fix a missing include for GPIO in blackfin framebuffer.
- audit and tag endif in blackfin ezkit board file, in order to find

- fix irq/debug.h choice of temporary macro names to be more internal
so they don't conflict with names used by xtensa.
- fix a reference to an undeclared local var in xtensa's signal.c
- fix an implicit bug.h usage in xtensa's asm/io.h uncovered by my
removing bug.h from kernel.h
- fix xtensa to properly indicate it is using asm-generic/hardirq.h

In perf_event_for_each() we call a function on an event, and then
iterate over the siblings of the event.
However we don't call the function on the siblings, we call it
repeatedly on the original event - it seems "obvious" that we should
be calling it with sibling as the argument.
It looks like this broke in commit 75f937f24b ("Fix ctx->mutex

Commits 367456c756 ("sched: Ditch per cgroup task lists for

left some more wreckage.
By setting loop_max unconditionally to ->nr_running load-balancing
could take a lot of time on very long runqueues (hackbench!). So keep
the sysctl as max limit of the amount of tasks we'll iterate.
Furthermore, the min load filter for migration completely fails with
cgroups since inequality in per-cpu state can easily lead to such
small loads :/
Furthermore the change to add new tasks to the tail of the queue
instead of the head seems to have some effect.. not quite sure I

Combined these fixes solve the huge hackbench regression reported by

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.

The file kernel/irq/debug.h temporarily defines P, PS, PD
and then undefines them. However these names aren't really
"internal" enough, and collide with other more legit users
such as the ones in the xtensa arch, causing:
In file included from kernel/irq/internals.h:58:0,
from kernel/irq/irqdesc.c:18:
kernel/irq/debug.h:8:0: warning: "PS" redefined [enabled by default]
arch/xtensa/include/asm/regs.h:59:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition
Add a handful of underscores to do a better job of hiding these
temporary macros.

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.

During resume, tick_resume_broadcast() programs the broadcast timer in
oneshot mode unconditionally. On the platforms where broadcast timer
is not really required, this will generate spurious broadcast timer
ticks upon resume. For example, on the always running apic timer
platforms with HPET, I see spurious hpet tick once every ~5minutes
(which is the 32-bit hpet counter wraparound time).
Similar to boot time, during resume make the oneshot mode setting of
the broadcast clock event device conditional on the state of active
broadcast users.

Santosh found another trap when we avoid to initialize the broadcast
device in the switch_to_oneshot code. The broadcast device might be
still in SHUTDOWN state when we actually need to use it. That
obviously breaks, as set_next_event() is called on a shutdown
device. This did not break on x86, but Suresh analyzed it:
From the review, most likely on Sven's system we are force enabling
the hpet using the pci quirk's method very late. And in this case,
hpet_clockevent (which will be global_clock_event) handler can be
null, specifically as this platform might not be using deeper c-states
and using the reliable APIC timer.
Prior to commit 'fa4da365bc7772c', that handler will be set to
'tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast' when we switch the broadcast timer to
oneshot mode, even though we don't use it. Post commit
'fa4da365bc7772c', we stopped switching the broadcast mode to oneshot
as this is not really needed and his platform's global_clock_event's
handler will remain null. While on my SNB laptop, same is set to
'clockevents_handle_noop' because hpet gets enabled very early. (noop
handler on my platform set when the early enabled hpet timer gets
replaced by the lapic timer).
But the commit 'fa4da365bc7772c' tracked the broadcast timer mode in
the SW as oneshot, even though it didn't touch the HW timer. During
resume however, tick_resume_broadcast() saw the SW broadcast mode as
oneshot and actually programmed the broadcast device also into oneshot
mode. So this triggered the null pointer de-reference after the hpet
wraps around and depending on what the hpet counter is set to. On the
normal platforms where hpet gets enabled early we should be seeing a
spurious interrupt (in my SNB laptop I see one spurious interrupt
after around 5 minutes ;) which is 32-bit hpet counter wraparound
time), but that's a separate issue.
Enforce the mode setting when trying to set an event.

Sven Joachim reported, that suspend/resume on rc3 trips over a NULL
pointer dereference. Linus spotted the clockevent handler being NULL.
commit fa4da365b(clockevents: tTack broadcast device mode change in
tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot()) tried to fix a problem with the
broadcast device setup, which was introduced in commit 77b0d60c5(
clockevents: Leave the broadcast device in shutdown mode when not
needed).
The initial commit avoided to set up the broadcast device when no
broadcast request bits were set, but that left the broadcast device
disfunctional. In consequence deep idle states which need the
broadcast device were not woken up.
commit fa4da365b tried to fix that by initializing the state of the
broadcast facility, but that missed the fact, that nothing initializes
the event handler and some other state of the underlying clock event
device.
The fix is to revert both commits and make only the mode setting of
the clock event device conditional on the state of active broadcast
users.
That initializes everything except the low level device mode, but this
happens when the broadcast functionality is invoked by deep idle.

As of:
29494be71a ("rcu,cleanup: simplify the code when cpu is dying")
RCU adopts callbacks from the dying CPU in its CPU_DYING notifier,
which means that any callbacks posted by later CPU_DYING notifiers
are ignored until the CPU comes back online.
A WARN_ON_ONCE() was added to __call_rcu() by:
e560140008 ("rcu: Simplify offline processing")
to check for this condition. Although this condition did not trigger
(at least as far as I know) during -next testing, it did recently
trigger in mainline:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/2/34
What is needed longer term is for RCU's CPU_DEAD notifier to adopt any
callbacks that were posted by CPU_DYING notifiers, however, the Linux
kernel has been running with this sort of thing happening for quite
some time. So the only thing that qualifies as a regression is the
WARN_ON_ONCE(), which this commit removes.
Making RCU's CPU_DEAD notifier adopt callbacks posted by CPU_DYING
notifiers is a topic for the 3.5 release of the Linux kernel.

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.
