This adds the synthetic events to have histograms from multiple event data
Adds triggers "onmatch" and "onmax" to call the synthetic events
Several updates to the histogram code from this
- Allow way to nest ring buffer calls in the same context
- Allow absolute time stamps in ring buffer
- Rewrite of filter code parsing based on Al Viro's suggestions

Kswapd will not wakeup if per-zone watermarks are not failing or if too
many previous attempts at background reclaim have failed.
This can be true if there is a lot of free memory available. For high-
order allocations, kswapd is responsible for waking up kcompactd for
background compaction. If the zone is not below its watermarks or
reclaim has recently failed (lots of free memory, nothing left to
reclaim), kcompactd does not get woken up.
When __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is not allowed, allow kcompactd to still be
woken up even if kswapd will not reclaim. This allows high-order
allocations, such as thp, to still trigger background compaction even
when the zone has an abundance of free memory.

Pull time(r) updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A small set of updates for timers and timekeeping:
- The most interesting change is the consolidation of clock MONOTONIC
and clock BOOTTIME.
Clock MONOTONIC behaves now exactly like clock BOOTTIME and does
not longer ignore the time spent in suspend. A new clock
MONOTONIC_ACTIVE is provived which behaves like clock MONOTONIC in
kernels before this change. This allows applications to
programmatically check for the clock MONOTONIC behaviour.
As discussed in the review thread, this has the potential of
breaking user space and we might have to revert this. Knock on wood
that we can avoid that exercise.
- Updates to the NTP mechanism to improve accuracy
- A new kernel internal data structure to aid the ongoing Y2038 work.
- Cleanups and simplifications of the clocksource code.

With the addition of variables and actions, it's become necessary to
provide more detailed error information to users about syntax errors.
Add a 'last error' facility accessible via the erroring event's 'hist'
file. Reading the hist file after an error will display more detailed
information about what went wrong, if information is available. This
extended error information will be available until the next hist
trigger command for that event.
# echo xxx > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/trigger
echo: write error: Invalid argument
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/hist
ERROR: Couldn't yyy: zzz

Also add specific error messages for variable and action errors.

Appending .usecs onto a common_timestamp field will cause the
timestamp value to be in microseconds instead of the default
nanoseconds. A typical latency histogram using usecs would look like
this:
# echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs ...
# echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0 ...
This also adds an external trace_clock_in_ns() to trace.c for the
timestamp conversion.

Add a new option flag indicating whether or not the ring buffer is in
'absolute timestamp' mode.
Currently this is only set/unset by hist triggers that make use of a
common_timestamp. As such, there's no reason to make this writeable
for users - its purpose is only to allow users to determine
unequivocally whether or not the ring buffer is in that mode (although
absolute timestamps can coexist with the normal delta timestamps, when
the ring buffer is in absolute mode, timestamps written while absolute
mode is in effect take up more space in the buffer, and are not as
efficient).

With the coming removal of jprobes, using ftrace callbacks is one of the
utilities that replace the jprobes functionality. Having a document that
explains how to use ftrace as such will help in the transition from jprobes
to ftrace. This document is for kernel developers that require attaching a
callback to a function within the kernel.

In the coresight CPU debug document it suggests to use 'echo' command
to set latency request to /dev/cpu_dma_latency so can disable all CPU
idle states, but in fact this doesn't work.
This is because when the command 'echo' exits, it releases the device
node's file descriptor and the kernel release function removes the QoS
constraint; finally when the command 'echo' finished there have no
constraint imposed on cpu_dma_latency.
This patch changes to use 'exec' to access '/dev/cpu_dma_latency', the
command 'exec' can avoid the file descriptor to be closed so we can
keep the constraint on cpu_dma_latency.
This patch also adds the info for reference docs for PM QoS and cpuidle
sysfs.

Here is the "big" char/misc driver patchset for 4.13-rc1.
Lots of stuff in here, a large thunderbolt update, w1 driver header
reorg, the new mux driver subsystem, google firmware driver updates, and
a raft of other smaller things. Full details in the shortlog.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with the only reported
issue being a merge problem with this tree and the jc-docs tree in the
w1 documentation area. The fix should be obvious for what to do when it
happens, if not, we can send a follow-up patch for it afterward.

The loadavg naming code still assumes that nohz == idle whereas its code

o Pretty much a full rewrite of the processing of function plugins.
i.e. echo do_IRQ:stacktrace > set_ftrace_filter
o The rewrite was needed to add plugins to be unique to tracing instances.
i.e. mkdir instance/foo; cd instances/foo; echo do_IRQ:stacktrace > set_ftrace_filter
The old way was written very hacky. This removes a lot of those hacks.
o New "function-fork" tracing option. When set, pids in the set_ftrace_pid
will have their children added when the processes with their pids
listed in the set_ftrace_pid file forks.
o Exposure of "maxactive" for kretprobe in kprobe_events
o Allow for builtin init functions to be traced by the function tracer
(via the kernel command line). Module init function tracing will come
in the next release.
o Added more selftests, and have selftests also test in an instance.

...
When a kretprobe is installed on a kernel function, there is a maximum
limit of how many calls in parallel it can catch (aka "maxactive"). A
kernel module could call register_kretprobe() and initialize maxactive
(see example in samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c).
But that is not exposed to userspace and it is currently not possible to
choose maxactive when writing to /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
The default maxactive can be as low as 1 on single-core with a
non-preemptive kernel. This is too low and we need to increase it not
only for recursive functions, but for functions that sleep or resched.
This patch updates the format of the command that can be written to
kprobe_events so that maxactive can be optionally specified.
I need this for a bpf program attached to the kretprobe of
inet_csk_accept, which can sleep for a long time.
This patch includes a basic selftest:
> # ./ftracetest -v test.d/kprobe/
> === Ftrace unit tests ===
> [1] Kprobe dynamic event - adding and removing [PASS]
> [2] Kprobe dynamic event - busy event check [PASS]

it was just a matter of days before 4.9 would be released, and I
figured I would just submit them in the merge window. They are old
bugs and not critical. Nothing non-root could abuse.

Use glob_match() to support flexible glob wildcards (*,?)
and character classes ([) for ftrace.
Since the full glob matching is slower than the current
partial matching routines(*pat, pat*, *pat*), this leaves
those routines and just add MATCH_GLOB for complex glob
expression.

SMIs, but also other latency that's caused by the hardware. I have detected
some latency from large boxes having bus contention.

in this area already - this is the rest of the work. Includes the
thread stack caching performance optimization. (Andy Lutomirski)
- switch_to() cleanups and all around enhancements. (Brian Gerst)
- A large number of dumpstack infrastructure enhancements and an
unwinder abstraction. The secret long term plan is safe(r) live

Instead of having the hwlat detector thread stay on one CPU, have it migrate
across all the CPUs specified by tracing_cpumask. If the user modifies the
thread's CPU affinity, the migration will stop until the next instance that
the tracer is instantiated. The migration happens at the end of each window
(period).

Storing this value will help prevent unwinders from getting out of sync
with the function graph tracer ret_stack. Now instead of needing a
stateful iterator, they can compare the return address pointer to find
the right ret_stack entry.
Note that an array of 50 ftrace_ret_stack structs is allocated for every
task. So when an arch implements this, it will add either 200 or 400
bytes of memory usage per task (depending on whether it's a 32-bit or
64-bit platform).

ftrace is very quick to give up on saving the task command line (see
`trace_save_cmdline()`). The workaround for events which really care
about the command line is to explicitly assign it as part of the entry.
However, this doesn't work for kprobe events, as there's no
straightforward way to get access to current->comm. Add a kprobe/uprobe
event variable $comm which provides exactly that.

The CPU load update related functions have a weak naming convention
currently, starting with update_cpu_load_*() which isn't ideal as
"update" is a very generic concept.
Since two of these functions are public already (and a third is to come)
that's enough to introduce a more conventional naming scheme. So let's
do the following rename instead:
update_cpu_load_*() -> cpu_load_update_*()

Allow users to define 'named' hist triggers. All triggers created
with the same 'name=xxx' option will update the same shared histogram
data.
This expands the hist trigger syntax from this:
# echo hist:keys=xxx ... [ if filter] > event/trigger
to this:
# echo hist:name=xxx:keys=xxx ... [ if filter] > event/trigger
Named histograms must use a 'compatible' set of keys and values, which
means each event added to a set of named triggers must have the same
names and types.
Reading the 'hist' file of any of the participating events will
produce the same output as any other participating event, which is to
be expected since they share the same data.

For debugging low level code interacting with the CPU it is often
useful to trace the MSR read/writes. This gives a concise summary of
PMU and other operations.
perf has an ad-hoc way to do this using trace_printk, but it's
somewhat limited (and also now spews ugly boot messages when enabled)
Instead define real trace points for all MSR accesses.
This adds three new trace points: read_msr and write_msr and rdpmc.
They also report if the access faulted (if *_safe is used)
This allows filtering and triggering on specific MSR values, which
allows various more advanced debugging techniques.
All the values are well defined in the CPU documentation.
The trace can be post processed with
Documentation/trace/postprocess/decode_msr.py to add symbolic MSR
names to the trace.
I only added it to native MSR accesses in C, not paravirtualized or in
entry*.S (which is not too interesting)
Originally the patch kit moved the MSRs out of line. This uses an
alternative approach recommended by Steven Rostedt of only moving the
trace calls out of line, but open coding the access to the jump label.

o Tracer specific options are now visible even when the tracer is not

even when the tracer is not active. Although they are still only visible
when the tracer is active in the trace_options file.
o Trace options are now per instance (although some of the tracer specific

o New tracefs file: set_event_pid. If any pid is added to this file, then
all events in the instance will filter out events that are not part of
this pid. sched_switch and sched_wakeup events handle next and the wakee

Intel(R) Trace Hub (TH) is a set of hardware blocks (subdevices) that
produce, switch and output trace data from multiple hardware and
software sources over several types of trace output ports encoded
in System Trace Protocol (MIPI STPv2) and is intended to perform
full system debugging.
For these subdevices, we create a bus, where they can be discovered
and configured by userspace software.
This patch creates this bus infrastructure, three types of devices
(source, output, switch), resource allocation, some callback mechanisms
to facilitate communication between the subdevices' drivers and some
common sysfs attributes.

A System Trace Module (STM) is a device exporting data in System Trace
Protocol (STP) format as defined by MIPI STP standards. Examples of such
devices are Intel(R) Trace Hub and Coresight STM.
This abstraction provides a unified interface for software trace sources
to send their data over an STM device to a debug host. In order to do
that, such a trace source needs to be assigned a pair of master/channel
identifiers that all the data from this source will be tagged with. The
STP decoder on the debug host side will use these master/channel tags to
distinguish different trace streams from one another inside one STP
stream.
This abstraction provides a configfs-based policy management mechanism
for dynamic allocation of these master/channel pairs based on trace
source-supplied string identifier. It has the flexibility of being
defined at runtime and at the same time (provided that the policy
definition is aligned with the decoding end) consistency.
For userspace trace sources, this abstraction provides write()-based and
mmap()-based (if the underlying stm device allows this) output mechanism.
For kernel-side trace sources, we provide "stm_source" device class that
can be connected to an stm device at run time.

The changes with more meat are:
o Allowing the trace event filters to filter on CPU number and process ids
o Two new markers for trace output latency were added
(10 and 100 msec latencies)
o Have tracing_thresh filter function profiling time
I also worked on modifying the ring buffer code for some future
work, and moved the adding of the timestamp around. One of my changes
caused a regression, and since other changes were built on top of it
and already tested, I had to operate a revert of that change. Instead
of rebasing, this change set has the code that caused a regression
as well as the code to revert that change without touching the other
changes that were made on top of it.

A fine granulity support for delay would be very useful when profiling
VM logics, such as page allocation including page reclaim and memory
compaction with function graph.
Thus, this patch adds two additional marks with two changes.
- An equal sign in mark selection function is removed to align code
behavior with comments and documentation.
- The function graph example related to delay in ftrace.txt is updated
to cover all supported marks.

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) $ 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.

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.
