Steven Rostedt 49833fc232 ftrace: enable trace_printk by default
Impact: have the ftrace_printk enabled on startup

It is confusing to have to "echo trace_printk > /debug/tracing/iter_ctrl"
after adding ftrace_printk in the kernel.

Currently the trace_printk is set to off by default. ftrace_printk
should only be in open kernel code when used for debugging, and thus
it should be enabled by default.

It may also be used to record data within a tracer, but those ftrace_printks
should be within wrappers that are either enabled by trace_points or
have a variable protecting the code path from being entered when the
tracer is disabled.

Steven Rostedt 4519317020 ftrace: irqsoff tracer incorrect reset
Impact: fix to irqsoff tracer output

In converting to the new start / stop ftrace handling, the irqsoff
tracer start called the irqsoff reset function. irqsoff tracer is
not the same as the other traces, and it resets the buffers while
searching for the longest latency.

The reset that the irqsoff stop method calls disables the function
tracing. That means that, by starting the tracer, the function
tracer is disabled incorrectly.

This patch simply removes the call to reset which keeps the function
tracing enabled. Reset is not needed for the irqsoff stop method.

Steven Rostedt e168e0516e ftrace: fix sched_switch API
Impact: fix for sched_switch that broke dynamic ftrace startup

The commit: tracing/fastboot: use sched switch tracer from boot tracer
broke the API of the sched_switch trace. The use of the
tracing_start/stop_cmdline record is for only recording the cmdline,
NOT recording the schedule switches themselves.

Seeing that the boot tracer broke the API to do something that it
wanted, this patch adds a new interface for the API while
puting back the original interface of the old API.

Steven Rostedt 3e03fb7f1d ring-buffer: convert to raw spinlocks
Impact: no lockdep debugging of ring buffer

The problem with running lockdep on the ring buffer is that the
ring buffer is the core infrastructure of ftrace. What happens is
that the tracer will start tracing the lockdep code while lockdep
is testing the ring buffers locks.  This can cause lockdep to
fail due to testing cases that have not fully finished their
locking transition.

This patch converts the spin locks used by the ring buffer back
into raw spin locks which lockdep does not check.

Steven Rostedt 9036990d46 ftrace: restructure tracing start/stop infrastructure
Impact: change where tracing is started up and stopped

Currently, when a new tracer is selected via echo'ing a tracer name into
the current_tracer file, the startup is only done if tracing_enabled is
set to one. If tracing_enabled is changed to zero (by echo'ing 0 into
the tracing_enabled file) a full shutdown is performed.

The full startup and shutdown of a tracer can be expensive and the
user can lose out traces when echo'ing in 0 to the tracing_enabled file,
because the process takes too long. There can also be places that
the user would like to start and stop the tracer several times and
doing the full startup and shutdown of a tracer might be too expensive.

This patch performs the full startup and shutdown when a tracer is
selected. It also adds a way to do a quick start or stop of a tracer.
The quick version is just a flag that prevents the tracing from
taking place, but the overhead of the code is still there.

For example, the startup of a tracer may enable tracepoints, or enable
the function tracer.  The stop and start will just set a flag to
have the tracer ignore the calls when the tracepoint or function trace
is called.  The overhead of the tracer may still be present when
the tracer is stopped, but no tracing will occur. Setting the tracer
to the 'nop' tracer (or any other tracer) will perform the shutdown
of the tracer which will disable the tracepoint or disable the
function tracer.

The tracing_enabled file will simply start or stop tracing.

This change is all internal. The end result for the user should be the same
as before. If tracing_enabled is not set, no trace will happen.
If tracing_enabled is set, then the trace will happen. The tracing_enabled
variable is static between tracers. Enabling  tracing_enabled and
going to another tracer will keep tracing_enabled enabled. Same
is true with disabling tracing_enabled.

This patch will now provide a fast start/stop method to the users
for enabling or disabling tracing.

Note: There were two methods to the struct tracer that were never
 used: The methods start and stop. These were to be used as a hook
 to the reading of the trace output, but ended up not being
 necessary. These two methods are now used to enable the start
 and stop of each tracer, in case the tracer needs to do more than
 just not write into the buffer. For example, the irqsoff tracer
 must stop recording max latencies when tracing is stopped.

Steven Rostedt 60a7ecf426 ftrace: add quick function trace stop
Impact: quick start and stop of function tracer

This patch adds a way to disable the function tracer quickly without
the need to run kstop_machine. It adds a new variable called
function_trace_stop which will stop the calls to functions from mcount
when set.  This is just an on/off switch and does not handle recursion
like preempt_disable().

It's main purpose is to help other tracers/debuggers start and stop tracing
fuctions without the need to call kstop_machine.

The config option HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST is added for archs
that implement the testing of the function_trace_stop in the mcount
arch dependent code. Otherwise, the test is done in the C code.

x86 is the only arch at the moment that supports this.

Impact: fix race condition in sched_switch tracer

This patch fixes a race condition in the sched_switch tracer. If
several tasks (IE: concurrent initcalls) are playing with
tracing_start_cmdline_record() and tracing_stop_cmdline_record(), the
following situation could happen:

_ Task A and B are using the same tracepoint probe. Task A holds it.
  Task B is sleeping and doesn't hold it.

_ Task A frees the sched tracer, then sched_ref is decremented to 0.

_ Task A is preempted and hadn't yet unregistered its tracepoint
  probe, then B runs.

_ B increments sched_ref, sees it's 1 and then guess it has to
  register its probe. But it has not been freed by task A.

_ A lot of bad things can happen after that...

Impact: modify boot tracer

We used to disable the initcall tracing at a specified time (IE: end
of builtin initcalls). But we don't need it anymore. It will be

However we want two things:

_Start this tracing only after pre-smp initcalls are finished.

_Since we are planning to trace sched_switches at the same time, we
want to enable them only during the initcall execution.

Steven Rostedt b2a866f934 ftrace: function tracer with irqs disabled
Impact: disable interrupts during trace entry creation (as opposed to preempt)

To help with performance, I set the ftracer to not disable interrupts,
and only to disable preemption. If an interrupt occurred, it would not
be traced, because the function tracer protects itself from recursion.
This may be faster, but the trace output might miss some traces.

This patch makes the fuction trace disable interrupts, but it also
adds a runtime feature to disable preemption instead. It does this by
having two different tracer functions. When the function tracer is
enabled, it will check to see which version is requested (irqs disabled
or preemption disabled). Then it will use the corresponding function
as the tracer.

Irq disabling is the default behaviour, but if the user wants better
performance, with the chance of missing traces, then they can choose
the preempt disabled version.

Running hackbench 3 times with the irqs disabled and 3 times with
the preempt disabled function tracer yielded:

tracing type       times            entries recorded
------------      --------          ----------------
irq disabled      43.393            166433066
                  43.282            166172618
                  43.298            166256704

preempt disabled  38.969            159871710
                  38.943            159972935
                  39.325            161056510

Average:

   irqs disabled:  43.324           166287462
preempt disabled:  39.079           160300385

 preempt is 10.8 percent faster than irqs disabled.

I wrote a patch to count function trace recursion and reran hackbench.

With irq disabled: 1,150 times the function tracer did not trace due to
  recursion.
with preempt disabled: 5,117,718 times.

The thousand times with irq disabled could be due to NMIs, or simply a case
where it called a function that was not protected by notrace.

But we also see that a large amount of the trace is lost with the
preempt version.

Steven Rostedt 8f0a056fcb ftrace: introduce ftrace_preempt_disable()/enable()
Impact: add new ftrace-plugin internal APIs

Parts of the tracer needs to be careful about schedule recursion.
If the NEED_RESCHED flag is set, a preempt_enable will call schedule.
Inside the schedule function, the NEED_RESCHED flag is cleared.

The problem arises when a trace happens in the schedule function but before
NEED_RESCHED is cleared. The race is as follows:

schedule()
  >> tracer called

    trace_function()
       preempt_disable()
       [ record trace ]
       preempt_enable()  <<- here's the issue.

         [check NEED_RESCHED]
          schedule()
          [ Repeat the above, over and over again ]

The naive approach is simply to use preempt_enable_no_schedule instead.
The problem with that approach is that, although we solve the schedule
recursion issue, we now might lose a preemption check when not in the
schedule function.

  trace_function()
    preempt_disable()
    [ record trace ]
    [Interrupt comes in and sets NEED_RESCHED]
    preempt_enable_no_resched()
    [continue without scheduling]

The way ftrace handles this problem is with the following approach:

	int resched;

	resched = need_resched();
	preempt_disable_notrace();
	[record trace]
	if (resched)
		preempt_enable_no_sched_notrace();
	else
		preempt_enable_notrace();

This may seem like the opposite of what we want. If resched is set
then we call the "no_sched" version??  The reason we do this is because
if NEED_RESCHED is set before we disable preemption, there's two reasons
for that:

  1) we are in an atomic code path
  2) we are already on our way to the schedule function, and maybe even
     in the schedule function, but have yet to clear the flag.

Both the above cases we do not want to schedule.

This solution has already been implemented within the ftrace infrastructure.
But the problem is that it has been implemented several times. This patch
encapsulates this code to two nice functions.

  resched = ftrace_preempt_disable();
  [ record trace]
  ftrace_preempt_enable(resched);

This way the tracers do not need to worry about getting it right.

Steven Rostedt b3aa557722 ftrace: use kretprobe trampoline name to test in output
Impact: ia64+tracing build fix

When a function is kprobed, the return address is set to the
kprobe_trampoline, or something similar. This caused the output
of the trace to look confusing when the parent seemed to be this
"kprobe_trampoline" function.

To fix this, Abhishek Sagar added a test of the instruction pointer
of the parent to see if it matched the kprobe_trampoline. If it
did, the output would print a "[unknown/kretprobe'd]" instead.

Unfortunately, not all archs do this the same way, and the trampoline
function may not be exported, which causes failures in builds.

This patch will compare the name instead of the pointer to see
if it matches. This prevents us from depending on a function from
being exported, and should work on all archs. The worst that can
happen is that an arch might use a different name and then we
go back to the confusing output. At least the arch will still build.

Steven Rostedt 9244489a7b ftrace: handle archs that do not support irqs_disabled_flags
Impact: build fix on non-lockdep architectures

Some architectures do not support a way to read the irq flags that
is set from "local_irq_save(flags)" to determine if interrupts were
disabled or enabled. Ftrace uses this information to display to the user
if the trace occurred with interrupts enabled or disabled.

Besides the fact that those archs that do not support this will fail to
compile, unless they fix it, we do not want to have the trace simply
say interrupts were not disabled or they were enabled, without knowing
the real answer.

This patch adds a 'X' in the output to let the user know that the
architecture they are running on does not support a way for the tracer
to determine if interrupts were enabled or disabled. It also lets those
same archs compile with tracing enabled.

Sukadev Bhattiprolu d25141a818 'kill sig -1' must only apply to caller's namespace
Currently "kill <sig> -1" kills processes in all namespaces and breaks the
isolation of namespaces.  Earlier attempt to fix this was discussed at:

	http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/23/148

As suggested by Oleg Nesterov in that thread, use "task_pid_vnr() > 1"
check since task_pid_vnr() returns 0 if process is outside the caller's
namespace.

Paul Mundt ce05fcc30e kernel/profile: fix profile_init() section mismatch
profile_init() calls in to alloc_bootmem() on early initialization.  While
alloc_bootmem() is __init, the reference itself is safe in that it is
tucked below a !slab_is_available() check.  So, flag profile_init() as
__ref.

Steven Rostedt f3384b28a0 ftrace: fix trace_nop config select
Impact: build fix on non-function-tracing architectures

The trace_nop is the tracer that is defined when no tracer is set in
the ftrace infrastructure.

The trace_nop was mistakenly selected by HAVE_FTRACE due to the confusion
between ftrace infrastructure and the ftrace function tracer (which has
been solved by renaming the function tracer).

This patch changes the select to the approriate TRACING.

This patch should fix compile errors on architectures that do not define
the FUNCTION_TRACER.
