Johannes Berg f042c2eb96 iwlwifi: make data frame tracing optional
When tracing in iwlwifi, we get all data. Most of
the time, we don't need it, and it just takes up
a lot of extra space in the trace.

Make this optional by recording the data into two
separate trace events if it is needed. Without it,
record only the content of non-data and EAPOL TX
frames.

As a result, tracing without the data tracepoints
will record meta information including the 802.11
headers for all frames but will not record the
contents of data frames to reduce trace overhead.

Johannes Berg 45eab7ccac iwlwifi: reduce overhead if tracing disabled
Tracing commands builds an array of trace data
items even when the tracepoint is disabled.
Instead, loop in the tracepoint assignment.

This reduces overhead if tracing is compiled
into the driver but not enabled and slightly
reduces overall driver size as well:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 114514	   6509	     48	 121071	  1d8ef	before/iwlwifi.ko
 114189	   6509	     48	 120746	  1d7aa	after/iwlwifi.ko

Johannes Berg 6c1011e191 iwlwifi: make tracing use device as identifier
Tracing used the priv pointer as an identifier,
which has the problem that we don't have it in
all code, and also some people say no pointers
should be "leaked" to userspace.

Use the device name instead, it is more useful
anyway.

Johannes Berg 2655e314c4 iwlwifi: trace debug messages
Make iwlwifi record all debug messages into
tracing, even if debug_level is not enabled.
Due to the lack of APIs, the debug messages
are now recorded up to a max length of 100,
the only one above that is the RXON which is
not needed if you trace the commands as well
as it only dumps the command contents.

Johannes Berg b80667eee2 iwlagn: add IRQ tracing
The legacy IRQs could be read from a trace by their
IO accesses, but reading the ICT doesn't leave any
trace (pun intended ;-) ) so in order to see what
input they get we need to add specific tracepoints.

While at it, fix whitespace in two related places.

Don Fry 5510697515 iwlagn: remove unnecessary type for tracing operations
The device tracing routines only use the priv pointer as an opaque
value.  Change from a typed iwl_priv pointer to a null pointer and
eliminate the need to include iwl_priv.h.  CMD_ASYNC is defined in
iwl_shared.h which is the only reason it is included.

Johannes Berg 4ce7cc2b09 iwlagn: support multiple TBs per command
The current "huge" command handling is a bit
confusing, and very limited since only one
command may be huge at a time. Additionally,
we often copy data around quite pointlessly
since we could instead map the existing scan
buffer for example and use it directly.

This patch makes that possible. The first
change is that multiple buffers may be given
to each command (this change was prepared
earlier so callsites don't need to change).
Each of those can be mapped attached to a TB
in the TFD, and the command header can use a
TB (the first one) in the TFD as well.

Doing this allows getting rid of huge commands
in favour of mapping existing buffers. The
beacon transmission is also optimised to not
copy the SKB at all but use multiple TBs.

Tejun Heo ed391f4ebf iwlwifi: don't include iwl-dev.h from iwl-devtrace.h
iwl-devtrace.h is used to declare and define trace points and
including iwl-dev.h from the file, which in turn includes other
generic headers, can lead to problems like generating duplicate copies
of generic trace points depending on the order of includes.  Don't
include iwl-dev.h from iwl-devtrace.h but include it from its users -
iwl-io.h and iwl-devtrace.c.

Wey-Yi Guy a9e1cb6a78 iwlwifi: add continuous uCode event log capability
In order to help uCode debugging, adding the capability to provide
continuous uCode event logging function.

uCode events is located in round-robin event queue and filled by uCode,
by enable continuous event logging, driver check the write pointer
and log the newly added events in iwl_bg_ucode_trace() timer function.

There is still possibility of missing events if event queue being
wrapped before next event dump; but with this capability, we can have
much better understanding of the uCode behavior during runtime; it can
help to debug the uCode related issues.

Methods to enable/disable the continuous event log:
step 1: enable ucode trace timer
     "echo 1 >
/sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phyX/iwlagn/debug/ucode_tracing"
step 2: start ftrace
     sudo ./trace-cmd record -e iwlwifi_ucode:* sleep 1d
step 3: stop ftrace
     sudo ./trace-cmd report trace.dat
step 4: disable ucode trace timer
     "echo 0 >
/sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phyX/iwlagn/debug/ucode_tracing"

use "ucode_tracing" debugfs file to display number of event
queue wrapped when driver attempt the continuous event logging. If event
queue being wrapped more than once when driver has opportunity to log
the event; it indicated there are events missing in the event log trace.

This continuous event log function only available for 4965 and newer
NICs.

Johannes Berg 0fd95afc7b iwlwifi: separate IO tracing
Since IO tracing is usually not needed and
generates a lot of data, separate it into
its own trace system so that we can always
enable iwlwifi:* and not have to worry about
getting too much data. If IO tracing is then
really needed we can enable iwlwifi_io:* in
addition and get that data.

Johannes Berg be1a71a128 iwlwifi: device tracing
In order to have an easier way to debug issues, create
trace events (using the ftrace framework) that will
allow us to follow exactly what the driver is doing
with the device.

The text format isn't all that useful, but the binary
format can also be obtained easily via debugfs and
then analysed on the fly or offline with debugging
tools.
