Byungchul Park 8e1e1df29d tracing: Add additional marks to signal very large time deltas
Currently, function graph tracer prints "!" or "+" just before
function execution time to signal a function overhead, depending
on the time. And some tracers tracing latency also print "!" or
"+" just after time to signal overhead, depending on the interval
between events. Even it is usually enough to do that, we sometimes
need to signal for bigger execution time than 100 micro seconds.

For example, I used function graph tracer to detect if there is
any case that exit_mm() takes too much time. I did following steps
in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing. It was easier to detect very large
excution time with patched kernel than with original kernel.

$ echo exit_mm > set_graph_function
$ echo function_graph > current_tracer
$ echo > trace
$ cat trace_pipe > $LOGFILE
 ... (do something and terminate logging)
$ grep "\\$" $LOGFILE
 3) $ 22082032 us |                      } /* kernel_map_pages */
 3) $ 22082040 us |                    } /* free_pages_prepare */
 3) $ 22082113 us |                  } /* free_hot_cold_page */
 3) $ 22083455 us |                } /* free_hot_cold_page_list */
 3) $ 22083895 us |              } /* release_pages */
 3) $ 22177873 us |            } /* free_pages_and_swap_cache */
 3) $ 22178929 us |          } /* unmap_single_vma */
 3) $ 22198885 us |        } /* unmap_vmas */
 3) $ 22206949 us |      } /* exit_mmap */
 3) $ 22207659 us |    } /* mmput */
 3) $ 22207793 us |  } /* exit_mm */

And then, it was easy to find out that a schedule-out occured by
sub_preempt_count() within kernel_map_pages().

To detect very large function exection time caused by either problematic
function implementation or scheduling issues, this patch can be useful.

Masami Hiramatsu f8b8be8a31 ftrace, kprobes: Support IPMODIFY flag to find IP modify conflict
Introduce FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY to avoid conflict among
ftrace users who may modify regs->ip to change the execution
path. If two or more users modify the regs->ip on the same
function entry, one of them will be broken. So they must add
IPMODIFY flag and make sure that ftrace_set_filter_ip() succeeds.

Note that ftrace doesn't allow ftrace_ops which has IPMODIFY
flag to have notrace hash, and the ftrace_ops must have a
filter hash (so that the ftrace_ops can hook only specific
entries), because it strongly depends on the address and
must be allowed for only few selected functions.

Chen Yucong 2c51856c9b mm: trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl: report the number of file/anon pages respectively
Until now, the reporting from trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl is not very
useful because we cannot directly use this script for checking the
file/anon ratio of scanning.  This patch aims to report respectively the
number of file/anon pages which were scanned/reclaimed by kswapd or
direct-reclaim.  Sample output is usually something like the following.

Summary

Linus Torvalds b8c0aa46b3 This pull request has a lot of work done. The main thing is the changes
to the ftrace function callback infrastructure. It's introducing a
 way to allow different functions to call directly different trampolines
 instead of all calling the same "mcount" one.
 
 The only user of this for now is the function graph tracer, which always
 had a different trampoline, but the function tracer trampoline was called
 and did basically nothing, and then the function graph tracer trampoline
 was called. The difference now, is that the function graph tracer
 trampoline can be called directly if a function is only being traced by
 the function graph trampoline. If function tracing is also happening on
 the same function, the old way is still done.
 
 The accounting for this takes up more memory when function graph tracing
 is activated, as it needs to keep track of which functions it uses.
 I have a new way that wont take as much memory, but it's not ready yet
 for this merge window, and will have to wait for the next one.
 
 Another big change was the removal of the ftrace_start/stop() calls that
 were used by the suspend/resume code that stopped function tracing when
 entering into suspend and resume paths. The stop of ftrace was done
 because there was some function that would crash the system if one called
 smp_processor_id()! The stop/start was a big hammer to solve the issue
 at the time, which was when ftrace was first introduced into Linux.
 Now ftrace has better infrastructure to debug such issues, and I found
 the problem function and labeled it with "notrace" and function tracing
 can now safely be activated all the way down into the guts of suspend
 and resume.
 
 Other changes include clean ups of uprobe code.
 Clean up of the trace_seq() code.
 And other various small fixes and clean ups to ftrace and tracing.

Kirill Tkhai 8875125efe sched: Transform resched_task() into resched_curr()
We always use resched_task() with rq->curr argument.
It's not possible to reschedule any task but rq's current.

The patch introduces resched_curr(struct rq *) to
replace all of the repeating patterns. The main aim
is cleanup, but there is a little size profit too:

  (before)
	$ size kernel/sched/built-in.o
	   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
	155274	  16445	   7042	 178761	  2ba49	kernel/sched/built-in.o

	$ size vmlinux
	   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
	7411490	1178376	 991232	9581098	 92322a	vmlinux

  (after)
	$ size kernel/sched/built-in.o
	   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
	155130	  16445	   7042	 178617	  2b9b9	kernel/sched/built-in.o

	$ size vmlinux

	7411362	1178376	 991232	9580970	 9231aa	vmlinux

	I was choosing between resched_curr() and resched_rq(),
	and the first name looks better for me.

A little lie in Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt. I have not
actually collected the tracing again. With a hope the patch
won't make execution times much worse :)

Chen Yucong b27ebf7791 mm:vmscan: update the trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl for event vmscan/mm_vmscan_lru_isolate
When using trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl for checking the file/anon rate
of scanning, we can find that it can not be performed.  At the same
time, the following message will be reported:

  WARNING: Format not as expected for event vmscan/mm_vmscan_lru_isolate
  'file' != 'contig_taken' Fewer fields than expected in format at
  ./trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl line 171, <FORMAT> line 76.

In trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl, (contig_taken, contig_dirty, and
contig_failed) are be associated respectively to (nr_lumpy_taken,
nr_lumpy_dirty, and nr_lumpy_failed) for lumpy reclaim.  Via commit
c53919adc0 ("mm: vmscan: remove lumpy reclaim"), lumpy reclaim had
already been removed by Mel, but the update for
trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl was missed.

Robert Elliott 607e3a2920 tracing: Add funcgraph_tail option to print function name after closing braces
In the function-graph tracer, add a funcgraph_tail option
to print the function name on all } lines, not just
functions whose first line is no longer in the trace
buffer.

If a function calls other traced functions, its total
time appears on its } line.  This change allows grep
to be used to determine the function for which the
line corresponds.

Update Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt to describe
this new option.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 7c65bbc7dc tracing: Add trace_<tracepoint>_enabled() function
There are some code paths in the kernel that need to do some preparations
before it calls a tracepoint. As that code is worthless overhead when
the tracepoint is not enabled, it would be prudent to have that code
only run when the tracepoint is active. To accomplish this, all tracepoints
now get a static inline function called "trace_<tracepoint-name>_enabled()"
which returns true when the tracepoint is enabled and false otherwise.

As an added bonus, that function uses the static_key of the tracepoint
such that no branch is needed.

  if (trace_mytracepoint_enabled()) {
	arg = process_tp_arg();
	trace_mytracepoint(arg);
  }

Will keep the "process_tp_arg()" (which may be expensive to run) from
being executed when the tracepoint isn't enabled.

It's best to encapsulate the tracepoint itself in the if statement
just to keep races. For example, if you had:

  if (trace_mytracepoint_enabled())
	arg = process_tp_arg();
  trace_mytracepoint(arg);

There's a chance that the tracepoint could be enabled just after the
if statement, and arg will be undefined when calling the tracepoint.

Linus Torvalds 68114e5eb8 Most of the changes were largely clean ups, and some documentation.
But there were a few features that were added.
 
 Uprobes now work with event triggers and multi buffers.
 Uprobes have support under ftrace and perf.
 
 The big feature is that the function tracer can now be used within the
 multi buffer instances. That is, you can now trace some functions
 in one buffer, others in another buffer, all functions in a third buffer
 and so on. They are basically agnostic from each other. This only
 works for the function tracer and not for the function graph trace,
 although you can have the function graph tracer running in the top level
 buffer (or any tracer for that matter) and have different function tracing
 going on in the sub buffers.

Jiri Slaby af64a7cb09 ftrace: Pass retval through return in ftrace_dyn_arch_init()
No architecture uses the "data" parameter in ftrace_dyn_arch_init() in any
way, it just sets the value to 0. And this is used as a return value
in the caller -- ftrace_init, which just checks the retval against
zero.

Note there is also "return 0" in every ftrace_dyn_arch_init.  So it is
enough to check the retval and remove all the indirect sets of data on
all archs.

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 'pm+acpi-3.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "This time the total number of ACPI commits is slightly greater than
  the number of cpufreq commits, but Viresh Kumar (who works on cpufreq)
  remains the most active patch submitter.

  To me, the most significant change is the addition of offline/online
  device operations to the driver core (with the Greg's blessing) and
  the related modifications of the ACPI core hotplug code.  Next are the
  freezer updates from Colin Cross that should make the freezing of
  tasks a bit less heavy weight.

  We also have a couple of regression fixes, a number of fixes for
  issues that have not been identified as regressions, two new drivers
  and a bunch of cleanups all over.

  Highlights:

   - Hotplug changes to support graceful hot-removal failures.

     It sometimes is necessary to fail device hot-removal operations
     gracefully if they cannot be carried out completely.  For example,
     if memory from a memory module being hot-removed has been allocated
     for the kernel's own use and cannot be moved elsewhere, it's
     desirable to fail the hot-removal operation in a graceful way
     rather than to crash the kernel, but currenty a success or a kernel
     crash are the only possible outcomes of an attempted memory
     hot-removal.  Needless to say, that is not a very attractive
     alternative and it had to be addressed.

     However, in order to make it work for memory, I first had to make
     it work for CPUs and for this purpose I needed to modify the ACPI
     processor driver.  It's been split into two parts, a resident one
     handling the low-level initialization/cleanup and a modular one
     playing the actual driver's role (but it binds to the CPU system
     device objects rather than to the ACPI device objects representing
     processors).  That's been sort of like a live brain surgery on a
     patient who's riding a bike.

     So this is a little scary, but since we found and fixed a couple of
     regressions it caused to happen during the early linux-next testing
     (a month ago), nobody has complained.

     As a bonus we remove some duplicated ACPI hotplug code, because the
     ACPI-based CPU hotplug is now going to use the common ACPI hotplug
     code.

   - Lighter weight freezing of tasks.

     These changes from Colin Cross and Mandeep Singh Baines are
     targeted at making the freezing of tasks a bit less heavy weight
     operation.  They reduce the number of tasks woken up every time
     during the freezing, by using the observation that the freezer
     simply doesn't need to wake up some of them and wait for them all
     to call refrigerator().  The time needed for the freezer to decide
     to report a failure is reduced too.

     Also reintroduced is the check causing a lockdep warining to
     trigger when try_to_freeze() is called with locks held (which is
     generally unsafe and shouldn't happen).

   - cpufreq updates

     First off, a commit from Srivatsa S Bhat fixes a resume regression
     introduced during the 3.10 cycle causing some cpufreq sysfs
     attributes to return wrong values to user space after resume.  The
     fix is kind of fresh, but also it's pretty obvious once Srivatsa
     has identified the root cause.

     Second, we have a new freqdomain_cpus sysfs attribute for the
     acpi-cpufreq driver to provide information previously available via
     related_cpus.  From Lan Tianyu.

     Finally, we fix a number of issues, mostly related to the
     CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notifier and cpufreq Kconfig options and clean
     up some code.  The majority of changes from Viresh Kumar with bits
     from Jacob Shin, Heiko Stübner, Xiaoguang Chen, Ezequiel Garcia,
     Arnd Bergmann, and Tang Yuantian.

   - ACPICA update

     A usual bunch of updates from the ACPICA upstream.

     During the 3.4 cycle we introduced support for ACPI 5 extended
     sleep registers, but they are only supposed to be used if the
     HW-reduced mode bit is set in the FADT flags and the code attempted
     to use them without checking that bit.  That caused suspend/resume
     regressions to happen on some systems.  Fix from Lv Zheng causes
     those registers to be used only if the HW-reduced mode bit is set.

     Apart from this some other ACPICA bugs are fixed and code cleanups
     are made by Bob Moore, Tomasz Nowicki, Lv Zheng, Chao Guan, and
     Zhang Rui.

   - cpuidle updates

     New driver for Xilinx Zynq processors is added by Michal Simek.

     Multidriver support simplification, addition of some missing
     kerneldoc comments and Kconfig-related fixes come from Daniel
     Lezcano.

   - ACPI power management updates

     Changes to make suspend/resume work correctly in Xen guests from
     Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk, sparse warning fix from Fengguang Wu and
     cleanups and fixes of the ACPI device power state selection
     routine.

   - ACPI documentation updates

     Some previously missing pieces of ACPI documentation are added by
     Lv Zheng and Aaron Lu (hopefully, that will help people to
     uderstand how the ACPI subsystem works) and one outdated doc is
     updated by Hanjun Guo.

   - Assorted ACPI updates

     We finally nailed down the IA-64 issue that was the reason for
     reverting commit 9f29ab11dd ("ACPI / scan: do not match drivers
     against objects having scan handlers"), so we can fix it and move
     the ACPI scan handler check added to the ACPI video driver back to
     the core.

     A mechanism for adding CMOS RTC address space handlers is
     introduced by Lan Tianyu to allow some EC-related breakage to be
     fixed on some systems.

     A spec-compliant implementation of acpi_os_get_timer() is added by
     Mika Westerberg.

     The evaluation of _STA is added to do_acpi_find_child() to avoid
     situations in which a pointer to a disabled device object is
     returned instead of an enabled one with the same _ADR value.  From
     Jeff Wu.

     Intel BayTrail PCH (Platform Controller Hub) support is added to
     the ACPI driver for Intel Low-Power Subsystems (LPSS) and that
     driver is modified to work around a couple of known BIOS issues.
     Changes from Mika Westerberg and Heikki Krogerus.

     The EC driver is fixed by Vasiliy Kulikov to use get_user() and
     put_user() instead of dereferencing user space pointers blindly.

     Code cleanups are made by Bjorn Helgaas, Nicholas Mazzuca and Toshi
     Kani.

   - Assorted power management updates

     The "runtime idle" helper routine is changed to take the return
     values of the callbacks executed by it into account and to call
     rpm_suspend() if they return 0, which allows us to reduce the
     overall code bloat a bit (by dropping some code that's not
     necessary any more after that modification).

     The runtime PM documentation is updated by Alan Stern (to reflect
     the "runtime idle" behavior change).

     New trace points for PM QoS are added by Sahara
     (<keun-o.park@windriver.com>).

     PM QoS documentation is updated by Lan Tianyu.

     Code cleanups are made and minor issues are addressed by Bernie
     Thompson, Bjorn Helgaas, Julius Werner, and Shuah Khan.

   - devfreq updates

     New driver for the Exynos5-bus device from Abhilash Kesavan.

     Minor cleanups, fixes and MAINTAINERS update from MyungJoo Ham,
     Abhilash Kesavan, Paul Bolle, Rajagopal Venkat, and Wei Yongjun.

Dave Hansen 0c4df02d73 x86: Add NMI duration tracepoints
This patch has been invaluable in my adventures finding
issues in the perf NMI handler.  I'm as big a fan of
printk() as anybody is, but using printk() in NMIs is
deadly when they're happening frequently.

Even hacking in trace_printk() ended up eating enough
CPU to throw off some of the measurements I was making.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) c3e13c7c06 tracing: Update documentation on tracepoint glob matching
b0f1a59a "tracing/filters: Use a different op for glob match" added
glob matching to tracepoint filter strings. It uses the ftrace function
tracing glob matching facility that allows for the wild card character (*)
to be used at the start and/or end of the matching string.

But the documentation still states that the filtering only allows for
exact string matches.

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 (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

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

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.

Paul Gortmaker 43720bd601 PM / tracing: remove deprecated power trace API
The text in Documentation said it would be removed in 2.6.41;
the text in the Kconfig said removal in the 3.1 release.  Either
way you look at it, we are well past both, so push it off a cliff.

Note that the POWER_CSTATE and the POWER_PSTATE are part of the
legacy tracing API.  Remove all tracepoints which use these flags.
As can be seen from context, most already have a trace entry via
trace_cpu_idle anyways.

Also, the cpufreq/cpufreq.c PSTATE one is actually unpaired, as
compared to the CSTATE ones which all have a clear start/stop.
As part of this, the trace_power_frequency also becomes orphaned,
so it too is deleted.
