walimis f11b3f4e29 tracing/events: fix output format of kernel stack
According to "events/ftrace/kernel_stack/format", output format of
kernel stack should use "=>" instead of "<=".

The second problem is that we shouldn't skip the first entry in the stack,
although it seems to be duplicated when used in the "function" tracer,
but events also use it. If we skip the first one, we will drop the topmost
entry of the stack.

The last problem is that if the last entry is ULONG_MAX(0xffffffff), we should
drop it, otherwise it will print a NULL name line.

before fix:

      sh-1072  [000]   26.957262:

walimis 083a63b48e tracing/trace_stack: fix the number of entries in the header
The last entry in the stack_dump_trace is ULONG_MAX, which is not
a valid entry, but max_stack_trace.nr_entries has accounted for it.
So when printing the header, we should decrease it by one.
Before fix, print as following, for example:

	Depth    Size   Location    (53 entries)	<--- should be 52
	-----    ----   --------
  0)     3264     108   update_wall_time+0x4d5/0x9a0
  ...
 51)       80      80   syscall_call+0x7/0xb
 ^^^
   it's correct.

Steven Rostedt ea05b57cc1 ring-buffer: discard timestamps that are at the start of the buffer
Every buffer page in the ring buffer includes its own time stamp.
When an event is recorded to the ring buffer with a delta time greater
than what can be held in the event header, a time stamp event is created.

If the the create timestamp falls over to the next buffer page, it is
redundant because the buffer page holds a full time stamp. This patch
will try to discard the time stamp when it falls to the start of the
next page.

This change also fixes a issues with disarding events. If most events are
discarded, timestamps will start to creep into the ring buffer. If we
do not discard the timestamps then they can fill up the ring buffer over
time and waste space.

This change will keep time stamps from filling up over another page. If
something is recorded in the buffer page, and the rest is filtered, then
the time stamps can only fill up to the end of the page.

Steven Rostedt edd813bffc ring-buffer: try to discard unneeded timestamps
There are times that a race may happen that we add a timestamp in a
nested write. This timestamp would just contain a zero delta and serves
no purpose.

Now that we have a way to discard events, this patch will try to discard
the timestamp instead of just wasting the space in the ring buffer.

Tim Bird a202355640 ring-buffer: fix bug in ring_buffer_discard_commit
There's a bug in ring_buffer_discard_commit.  The wrong
pointer is being compared in order to check if the event
can be freed from the buffer rather than discarded
(i.e. marked as PAD).

I noticed this when I was working on duration filtering.
The bug is not deadly - it just results in lots of wasted
space in the buffer.  All filtered events are left in
the buffer and marked as discarded, rather than being
removed from the buffer to make space for other events.

Unfortunately, when I fixed this bug, I got errors doing a
filtered function trace.  Multiple TIME_EXTEND
events pile up in the buffer, and trigger the
following loop overage warning in rb_iter_peek():

again:
	...
	if (RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, ++nr_loops > 10))
		return NULL;

I'm not sure what the best way is to fix this. I don't
know if I should extend the loop threshhold, or if I should
make the test more complex (ignore TIME_EXTEND
events), or just get rid of this loop check completely.

Note that if I implement a workaround for this, then I
see another problem from rb_advance_iter().  I haven't
tracked that one down yet.

In general, it seems like the case of removing filtered
events has not been working properly, and so some assumptions
about buffer invariant conditions need to be revisited.

Here's the patch for the simple fix:

Compare correct pointer for checking if an event can be
freed rather than left as discarded in the buffer.

Steven Rostedt 0f6ce3de4e ftrace: do not profile functions when disabled
A race was found that if one were to enable and disable the function
profiler repeatedly, then the system can panic. This was because a profiled
function may be preempted just before disabling interrupts. While
the profiler is disabled and then reenabled, the preempted function
could start again, and access the hash as it is being initialized.

This just adds a check in the irq disabled part to check if the profiler
is enabled, and if it is not then it will just exit.

When the system is disabled, the profile_enabled variable is cleared
before calling the unregistering of the function profiler. This
unregistering calls stop machine which also acts as a synchronize schedule.

Steven Rostedt 112f38a7e3 tracing: make trace pipe recognize latency format flag
The trace_pipe did not recognize the latency format flag and would produce
different output than the trace file. The problem was partly due that
the trace flags in the iterator was not set as well as the trace_pipe
zeros out part of the iterator (including the flags) to be able to use
the same routines as the trace file. trace_flags of the iterator should
not cause any problems when not zeroed out by for trace_pipe.

Li Zefan 7fcb7c472f tracing/events: introduce __dynamic_array()
__string() is limited:

  - it's a char array, but we may want to define array with other types
  - a source string should be available, but we may just know the string size

We introduce __dynamic_array() to break those limitations, and __string()
becomes a wrapper of it. As a side effect, now __get_str() can be used
in TP_fast_assign but not only TP_print.

Take XFS for example, we have the string length in the dirent, but the
string itself is not NULL-terminated, so __dynamic_array() can be used:

TRACE_EVENT(xfs_dir2,
	TP_PROTO(struct xfs_da_args *args),
	TP_ARGS(args),

	TP_STRUCT__entry(
		__field(int, namelen)
		__dynamic_array(char, name, args->namelen + 1)
		...
	),

	TP_fast_assign(
		char *name = __get_str(name);

		if (args->namelen)
			memcpy(name, args->name, args->namelen);
		name[args->namelen] = '\0';

		__entry->namelen = args->namelen;
	),

	TP_printk("name %.*s namelen %d",
		  __entry->namelen ? __get_str(name) : NULL
		  __entry->namelen)
);

Steven Rostedt 5e0a093910 tracing: fix config options to not show when automatically selected
There are two options that are selected by all tracers, but we want
to have those options available when no tracer is selected. These are

 The event tracer and sched switch tracer.

The are enabled by all tracers, but if a tracer is not selected we want
the options to appear. All tracers including them select TRACING.
Thus what we would like to do is:

  config EVENT_TRACER
	bool "prompt"
	depends on TRACING
	select TRACING

But that gives us a bug in the kbuild system since we just created a
circular dependency. We only want the prompt to show when TRACING is off.

This patch adds GENERIC_TRACER that all tracers will select instead of
TRACING. The two options (sched switch and event tracer) will select
TRACING directly and depend on !GENERIC_TRACER. This solves the cicular
dependency.

Steven Rostedt 2af15d6a44 ftrace: add kernel command line function filtering
When using ftrace=function on the command line to trace functions
on boot up, one can not filter out functions that are commonly called.

This patch adds two new ftrace command line commands.

  ftrace_notrace=function-list
  ftrace_filter=function-list

Where function-list is a comma separated list of functions to filter.
The ftrace_notrace will make the functions listed not be included
in the function tracing, and ftrace_filter will only trace the functions
listed.

These two act the same as the debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_notrace and
debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter respectively.

The simple glob expressions that are allowed by the filter files can also
be used by the command line interface.

	ftrace_notrace=rcu*,*lock,*spin*

Will not trace any function that starts with rcu, ends with lock, or has
the word spin in it.

Note, if the self tests are enabled, they may interfere with the filtering
set by the command lines.

Changelog:
v1->v2: Update Kconfig to select CONTEXT_SWITCH_TRACER in
        ENABLE_EVENT_TRACING
v2->v3: v2 can solve problem that was caused by config EVENT_TRACING
        alone, but when CONFIG_FTRACE is off and CONFIG_TRACING is
        selected by other config, compile fail happened again.
        This version solves it.

Li Zefan b0aae68cc5 tracing/events: change the type of __str_loc_item to unsigned short
When defining a dynamic size string, we add __str_loc_##item to the
trace entry, and it stores the location of the actual string in
entry->_str_data[]

'unsigned short' should be sufficient to store this information, thus
we save 2 bytes per dyn-size string in the ring buffer.

Lai Jiangshan 4f5359685a tracing: add trace_event_read_lock()
I found that there is nothing to protect event_hash in
ftrace_find_event(). Rcu protects the event hashlist
but not the event itself while we use it after its extraction
through ftrace_find_event().

This lack of a proper locking in this spot opens a race
window between any event dereferencing and module removal.

Eg:

--Task A--

print_trace_line(trace) {
  event = find_ftrace_event(trace)

--Task B--

trace_module_remove_events(mod) {
  list_trace_events_module(ev, mod) {
    unregister_ftrace_event(ev->event) {
      hlist_del(ev->event->node)
        list_del(....)
    }
  }
}
|--> module removed, the event has been dropped

--Task A--

  event->print(trace); // Dereferencing freed memory

If the event retrieved belongs to a module and this module
is concurrently removed, we may end up dereferencing a data
from a freed module.

RCU could solve this, but it would add latency to the kernel and
forbid tracers output callbacks to call any sleepable code.
So this fix converts 'trace_event_mutex' to a read/write semaphore,
and adds trace_event_read_lock() to protect ftrace_find_event().

Stefan Raspl fd51d251e4 blktrace: remove debugfs entries on bad path
debugfs directory entries for devices are not removed on some
of the failure pathes in do_blk_trace_setup().
One way to reproduce is to start blktrace on multiple devices
with insufficient Vmalloc space: Devices will fail with
a message like this:

	BLKTRACESETUP(2) /dev/sdu failed: 5/Input/output error

If so, the respective entries in debugfs
(e.g. /sys/kernel/debug/block/sdu) will remain and subsequent
attempts to start blktrace on the respective devices will not
succeed due to existing directories.

Martin K. Petersen 4bca328643 libata: Media rotation rate and form factor heuristics
This patch provides new heuristics for parsing both the form factor and
media rotation rate ATA IDENFITY words.

The reported ATA version must be 7 or greater and the device must return
values defined as valid in the standard.  Only then are the
characteristics reported to SCSI via the VPD B1 page.

This seems like a reasonable compromise to me considering that we have
been shipping several kernel releases that key off the rotation rate bit
without any version checking whatsoever.  With no complaints so far.

Sukadev Bhattiprolu 1f71ebedb3 devpts: correctly set default options
devpts_get_sb() calls memset(0) to clear mount options and calls
parse_mount_options() if user specified any mount options.

The memset(0) is bogus since the 'mode' and 'ptmxmode' options are
non-zero by default.  parse_mount_options() restores options to default
anyway and can properly deal with NULL mount options.

So in devpts_get_sb() remove memset(0) and call parse_mount_options() even
for NULL mount options.
