Sebastian Andrzej Siewior 36590c50b2 tracing: Merge irqflags + preempt counter.
The state of the interrupts (irqflags) and the preemption counter are
both passed down to tracing_generic_entry_update(). Only one bit of
irqflags is actually required: The on/off state. The complete 32bit
of the preemption counter isn't needed. Just whether of the upper bits
(softirq, hardirq and NMI) are set and the preemption depth is needed.

The irqflags and the preemption counter could be evaluated early and the
information stored in an integer `trace_ctx'.
tracing_generic_entry_update() would use the upper bits as the
TRACE_FLAG_* and the lower 8bit as the disabled-preemption depth
(considering that one must be substracted from the counter in one
special cases).

The actual preemption value is not used except for the tracing record.
The `irqflags' variable is mostly used only for the tracing record. An
exception here is for instance wakeup_tracer_call() or
probe_wakeup_sched_switch() which explicilty disable interrupts and use
that `irqflags' to save (and restore) the IRQ state and to record the
state.

Struct trace_event_buffer has also the `pc' and flags' members which can
be replaced with `trace_ctx' since their actual value is not used
outside of trace recording.

This will reduce tracing_generic_entry_update() to simply assign values
to struct trace_entry. The evaluation of the TRACE_FLAG_* bits is moved
to _tracing_gen_ctx_flags() which replaces preempt_count() and
local_save_flags() invocations.

As an example, ftrace_syscall_enter() may invoke:
- trace_buffer_lock_reserve() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update()
- event_trigger_unlock_commit()
  -> ftrace_trace_stack() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update()
  -> ftrace_trace_userstack() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update()

In this case the TRACE_FLAG_* bits were evaluated three times. By using
the `trace_ctx' they are evaluated once and assigned three times.

A build with all tracers enabled on x86-64 with and without the patch:

Viktor Rosendahl da7f84cdf0 tracing: Use pause-on-trace with the latency tracers
Eaerlier, tracing was disabled when reading the trace file. This behavior
was changed with:

commit 06e0a548ba ("tracing: Do not disable tracing when reading the
trace file").

This doesn't seem to work with the latency tracers.

The above mentioned commit dit not only change the behavior but also added
an option to emulate the old behavior. The idea with this patch is to
enable this pause-on-trace option when the latency tracers are used.

Steven Rostedt (VMware) d19ad0775d ftrace: Have the callbacks receive a struct ftrace_regs instead of pt_regs
In preparation to have arguments of a function passed to callbacks attached
to functions as default, change the default callback prototype to receive a
struct ftrace_regs as the forth parameter instead of a pt_regs.

For callbacks that set the FL_SAVE_REGS flag in their ftrace_ops flags, they
will now need to get the pt_regs via a ftrace_get_regs() helper call. If
this is called by a callback that their ftrace_ops did not have a
FL_SAVE_REGS flag set, it that helper function will return NULL.

This will allow the ftrace_regs to hold enough just to get the parameters
and stack pointer, but without the worry that callbacks may have a pt_regs
that is not completely filled.

Steven Rostedt (VMware) 1c5eb4481e tracing: Rename trace_buffer to array_buffer
As we are working to remove the generic "ring_buffer" name that is used by
both tracing and perf, the ring_buffer name for tracing will be renamed to
trace_buffer, and perf's ring buffer will be renamed to perf_buffer.

As there already exists a trace_buffer that is used by the trace_arrays, it
needs to be first renamed to array_buffer.

Linus Torvalds 6cdfa54cd2 The biggest change for this release is in the histogram code.
- Add "onchange(var)" histogram handler that executes a action when $var
    changes.
 
  - Add new "snapshot()" action for histogram handlers, that causes a
    snapshot of the ring buffer when triggered.
    ie. onchange(var).snapshot() will trigger a snapshot if var changes.
 
  - Add alternative for "trace()" action.
    Currently, to trigger a synthetic event, the name of that event is used
    as the handler name, which is inconsistent with the other actions.
    onchange(var).synthetic(param) where it can now be
    onchange(var).trace(synthetic, param). The older method will still be
    allowed, as long as the synthetic events do not overlap with other
    handler names.
 
  - The histogram documentation at testcases were updated for the new
    changes.
 
 Added a quicker way to enable set_ftrace_filter files, that will make
 it much quicker to bisect tracing a function that shouldn't be traced and
 crashes the kernel. (You can echo in numbers to set_ftrace_filter, and it
 will select the corresponding function that is in
 available_filter_functions).
 
 Some better displaying of the tracing data (and more information was added).
 
 The rest are small fixes and more clean ups to the code.

Changbin Du 9acd8de69d function_graph: Support displaying relative timestamp

is more straightforward than absolute timestamp as function trace
does. This change adds relative timestamp support to function_graph

Steven Rostedt (VMware) 688f7089d8 fgraph: Add new fgraph_ops structure to enable function graph hooks
Currently the registering of function graph is to pass in a entry and return
function. We need to have a way to associate those functions together where
the entry can determine to run the return hook. Having a structure that
contains both functions will facilitate the process of converting the code
to be able to do such.

This is similar to the way function hooks are enabled (it passes in
ftrace_ops). Instead of passing in the functions to use, a single structure
is passed in to the registering function.

The unregister function is now passed in the fgraph_ops handle. When we
allow more than one callback to the function graph hooks, this will let the
system know which one to remove.

Steven Rostedt (VMware) 5cf99a0f31 tracing/fgraph: Fix set_graph_function from showing interrupts
The tracefs file set_graph_function is used to only function graph functions
that are listed in that file (or all functions if the file is empty). The
way this is implemented is that the function graph tracer looks at every
function, and if the current depth is zero and the function matches
something in the file then it will trace that function. When other functions
are called, the depth will be greater than zero (because the original
function will be at depth zero), and all functions will be traced where the
depth is greater than zero.

The issue is that when a function is first entered, and the handler that
checks this logic is called, the depth is set to zero. If an interrupt comes
in and a function in the interrupt handler is traced, its depth will be
greater than zero and it will automatically be traced, even if the original
function was not. But because the logic only looks at depth it may trace
interrupts when it should not be.

The recent design change of the function graph tracer to fix other bugs
caused the depth to be zero while the function graph callback handler is
being called for a longer time, widening the race of this happening. This
bug was actually there for a longer time, but because the race window was so
small it seldom happened. The Fixes tag below is for the commit that widen
the race window, because that commit belongs to a series that will also help
fix the original bug.

Steven Rostedt (VMware) 3f1756dc21 tracing: More reverting of "tracing: Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and unify their usage"
Joel Fernandes created a nice patch that cleaned up the duplicate hooks used
by lockdep and irqsoff latency tracer. It made both use tracepoints. But the
latency tracer is triggering warnings when using tracepoints to call into
the latency tracer's routines. Mainly, they can be called from NMI context.
If that happens, then the SRCU may not work properly because on some
architectures, SRCU is not safe to be called in both NMI and non-NMI
context.

This is a partial revert of the clean up patch c3bc8fd637 ("tracing:
Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and unify their usage") that adds back the
direct calls into the latency tracer. It also only calls the trace events
when not in NMI.

It is due to running a CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY kernel, which would trigger
this warning every time:

	WARN_ON_ONCE(preempt_count());

Because on CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, preempt_count() is always zero.

This warning is to make sure preempt_count is set because
tracer_hardirqs_on() does a preempt_enable_notrace() to make the
preempt_trace() work properly, as being called by a trace event, the trace
event code disables preemption, and the tracer wants to know what the
preemption was before it was called.

Instead of enabling preemption like this, just record the preempt_count,
subtract PREEMPT_DISABLE_OFFSET from it (which is zero with !CONFIG_PREEMPT
set), and pass that value to the necessary functions, which should use the
passed in parameter instead of calling preempt_count() directly.

Joel Fernandes (Google) da5b3ebb45 tracing: irqsoff: Account for additional preempt_disable
Recently we tried to make the preemptirqsoff tracer to use irqsoff
tracepoint probes. However this causes issues as reported by Masami:

[2.271078] Testing tracer preemptirqsoff: .. no entries found ..FAILED!
[2.381015] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at /home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/kernel/
trace/trace.c:1512 run_tracer_selftest+0xf3/0x154

This is due to the tracepoint code increasing the preempt nesting count
by calling an additional preempt_disable before calling into the
preemptoff tracer which messes up the preempt_count() check in
tracer_hardirqs_off.

To fix this, make the irqsoff tracer probes balance the additional outer
preempt_disable with a preempt_enable_notrace.

The other way to fix this is to just use SRCU for all tracepoints.
However we can't do that because we can't use NMIs from RCU context.

Joel Fernandes (Google) c3bc8fd637 tracing: Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and unify their usage
This patch detaches the preemptirq tracepoints from the tracers and
keeps it separate.

Advantages:
* Lockdep and irqsoff event can now run in parallel since they no longer
have their own calls.

* This unifies the usecase of adding hooks to an irqsoff and irqson
event, and a preemptoff and preempton event.
  3 users of the events exist:
  - Lockdep
  - irqsoff and preemptoff tracers
  - irqs and preempt trace events

The unification cleans up several ifdefs and makes the code in preempt
tracer and irqsoff tracers simpler. It gets rid of all the horrific
ifdeferry around PROVE_LOCKING and makes configuration of the different
users of the tracepoints more easy and understandable. It also gets rid
of the time_* function calls from the lockdep hooks used to call into
the preemptirq tracer which is not needed anymore. The negative delta in
lines of code in this patch is quite large too.

In the patch we introduce a new CONFIG option PREEMPTIRQ_TRACEPOINTS
as a single point for registering probes onto the tracepoints. With
this,
the web of config options for preempt/irq toggle tracepoints and its
users becomes:

 PREEMPT_TRACER   PREEMPTIRQ_EVENTS  IRQSOFF_TRACER PROVE_LOCKING
       |                 |     \         |           |
       \    (selects)    /      \        \ (selects) /
      TRACE_PREEMPT_TOGGLE       ----> TRACE_IRQFLAGS
                      \                  /
                       \ (depends on)   /
                     PREEMPTIRQ_TRACEPOINTS

Other than the performance tests mentioned in the previous patch, I also
ran the locking API test suite. I verified that all tests cases are
passing.

I also injected issues by not registering lockdep probes onto the
tracepoints and I see failures to confirm that the probes are indeed
working.

This series + lockdep probes not registered (just to inject errors):

Preempt and irq trace events can be used for tracing the start and
end of an atomic section which can be used by a trace viewer like
systrace to graphically view the start and end of an atomic section and
correlate them with latencies and scheduling issues.

This also serves as a prelude to using synthetic events or probes to
rewrite the preempt and irqsoff tracers, along with numerous benefits of
using trace events features for these events.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 1a41442864 tracing/fgraph: Have wakeup and irqsoff tracers ignore graph functions too
Currently both the wakeup and irqsoff traces do not handle set_graph_notrace
well. The ftrace infrastructure will ignore the return paths of all
functions leaving them hanging without an end:

  # echo '*spin*' > set_graph_notrace
  # cat trace
  [...]
          _raw_spin_lock() {
            preempt_count_add() {
            do_raw_spin_lock() {
          update_rq_clock();

Where the '*spin*' functions should have looked like this:

          _raw_spin_lock() {
            preempt_count_add();
            do_raw_spin_lock();
          }
          update_rq_clock();

Instead, have the wakeup and irqsoff tracers ignore the functions that are
set by the set_graph_notrace like the function_graph tracer does. Move
the logic in the function_graph tracer into a header to allow wakeup and
irqsoff tracers to use it as well.

There is no reason to do it twice: from commit b6f11df26f
("trace: Call tracing_reset_online_cpus before tracer->init()")
resetting of per-CPU buffers done before tracer->init() call.

tracer->init() calls {irqs,preempt,preemptirqs}off_tracer_init() and it
calls __irqsoff_tracer_init(), which resets per-CPU ringbuffer second
time.
It's slowpath, but anyway.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) cb86e05390 tracing: Have preempt(irqs)off trace preempt disabled functions
Joel Fernandes reported that the function tracing of preempt disabled
sections was not being reported when running either the preemptirqsoff or
preemptoff tracers. This was due to the fact that the function tracer
callback for those tracers checked if irqs were disabled before tracing. But
this fails when we want to trace preempt off locations as well.

Joel explained that he wanted to see funcitons where interrupts are enabled
but preemption was disabled. The expected output he wanted:

   <...>-2265    1d.h1 3419us : preempt_count_sub <-irq_exit
   <...>-2265    1d..1 3419us : __do_softirq <-irq_exit

   <...>-2265    1..s1 3421us : hrtimer_run_pending <-run_timer_softirq
   <...>-2265    1..s1 3421us : _raw_spin_lock_irq <-run_timer_softirq
   <...>-2265    1d.s1 3422us : preempt_count_add <-_raw_spin_lock_irq
   <...>-2265    1d.s2 3422us : _raw_spin_unlock_irq <-run_timer_softirq
   <...>-2265    1..s2 3422us : preempt_count_sub <-_raw_spin_unlock_irq
   <...>-2265    1..s1 3423us : rcu_bh_qs <-__do_softirq
   <...>-2265    1d.s1 3423us : irqtime_account_irq <-__do_softirq
   <...>-2265    1d.s1 3423us : __local_bh_enable <-__do_softirq

There's a comment saying that the irq disabled check is because there's a
possible race that tracing_cpu may be set when the function is executed. But
I don't remember that race. For now, I added a check for preemption being
enabled too to not record the function, as there would be no race if that
was the case. I need to re-investigate this, as I'm now thinking that the
tracing_cpu will always be correct. But no harm in keeping the check for
now, except for the slight performance hit.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 983f938ae6 tracing: Move trace_flags from global to a trace_array field
In preparation to make trace options per instance, the global trace_flags
needs to be moved from being a global variable to a field within the trace
instance trace_array structure.

There's still more work to do, as there's some functions that use
trace_flags without passing in a way to get to the current_trace array. For
those, the global_trace is used directly (from trace.c). This includes
setting and clearing the trace_flags. This means that when a new instance is
created, it just gets the trace_flags of the global_trace and will not be
able to modify them. Depending on the functions that have access to the
trace_array, the flags of an instance may not affect parts of its trace,
where the global_trace is used. These will be fixed in future changes.

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.

As options (flags) may affect instances instead of being global
the set_flag() callbacks need to receive the trace_array descriptor
of the instance they will be modifying.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 10246fa35d tracing: Use flag buffer_disabled for irqsoff tracer
If the ring buffer is disabled and the irqsoff tracer records a trace it
will clear out its buffer and lose the data it had previously recorded.

Currently there's a callback when writing to the tracing_of file, but if
tracing is disabled via the function tracer trigger, it will not inform
the irqsoff tracer to stop recording.

By using the "mirror" flag (buffer_disabled) in the trace_array, that keeps
track of the status of the trace_array's buffer, it gives the irqsoff
tracer a fast way to know if it should record a new trace or not.
The flag may be a little behind the real state of the buffer, but it
should not affect the trace too much. It's more important for the irqsoff
tracer to be fast.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 328df4759c tracing: Add function-trace option to disable function tracing of latency tracers
Currently, the only way to stop the latency tracers from doing function
tracing is to fully disable the function tracer from the proc file
system:

  echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled

This is a big hammer approach as it disables function tracing for
all users. This includes kprobes, perf, stack tracer, etc.

Instead, create a function-trace option that the latency tracers can
check to determine if it should enable function tracing or not.
This option can be set or cleared even while the tracer is active
and the tracers will disable or enable function tracing depending
on how the option was set.

Instead of using the proc file, disable latency function tracing with

  echo 0 > /debug/tracing/options/function-trace

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 12883efb67 tracing: Consolidate max_tr into main trace_array structure
Currently, the way the latency tracers and snapshot feature works
is to have a separate trace_array called "max_tr" that holds the
snapshot buffer. For latency tracers, this snapshot buffer is used
to swap the running buffer with this buffer to save the current max
latency.

The only items needed for the max_tr is really just a copy of the buffer
itself, the per_cpu data pointers, the time_start timestamp that states
when the max latency was triggered, and the cpu that the max latency
was triggered on. All other fields in trace_array are unused by the
max_tr, making the max_tr mostly bloat.

This change removes the max_tr completely, and adds a new structure
called trace_buffer, that holds the buffer pointer, the per_cpu data
pointers, the time_start timestamp, and the cpu where the latency occurred.

The trace_array, now has two trace_buffers, one for the normal trace and
one for the max trace or snapshot. By doing this, not only do we remove
the bloat from the max_trace but the instances of traces can now use
their own snapshot feature and not have just the top level global_trace have
the snapshot feature and latency tracers for itself.

Steven Rostedt a7603ff4b5 tracing: Replace the static global per_cpu arrays with allocated per_cpu
The global and max-tr currently use static per_cpu arrays for the CPU data
descriptors. But in order to get new allocated trace_arrays, they need to
be allocated per_cpu arrays. Instead of using the static arrays, switch
the global and max-tr to use allocated data.

Steven Rostedt 2b6080f28c tracing: Encapsulate global_trace and remove dependencies on global vars
The global_trace variable in kernel/trace/trace.c has been kept 'static' and
local to that file so that it would not be used too much outside of that
file. This has paid off, even though there were lots of changes to make
the trace_array structure more generic (not depending on global_trace).

Removal of a lot of direct usages of global_trace is needed to be able to
create more trace_arrays such that we can add multiple buffers.

otherwise they get screwed up. Force the buffers to stay in overwrite

Added a flag_changed() method to the tracer structure to allow
the tracers to see what flags are being changed, and also be able
to prevent the change from happing.

Steven Rostedt 6f4156723c tracing: Allow tracers to start at core initcall
There's times during debugging that it is helpful to see traces of early
boot functions. But the tracers are initialized at device_initcall()
which is quite late during the boot process. Setting the kernel command
line parameter ftrace=function will not show anything until the function
tracer is initialized. This prevents being able to trace functions before
device_initcall().

There's no reason that the tracers need to be initialized so late in the
boot process. Move them up to core_initcall() as they still need to come
after early_initcall() which initializes the tracing buffers.

Steven Rostedt 4740974a68 ftrace: Add default recursion protection for function tracing
As more users of the function tracer utility are being added, they do
not always add the necessary recursion protection. To protect from
function recursion due to tracing, if the callback ftrace_ops does not
specifically specify that it protects against recursion (by setting
the FTRACE_OPS_FL_RECURSION_SAFE flag), the list operation will be
called by the mcount trampoline which adds recursion protection.

If the flag is set, then the function will be called directly with no
extra protection.

Note, the list operation is called if more than one function callback
is registered, or if the arch does not support all of the function
tracer features.

Steven Rostedt a1e2e31d17 ftrace: Return pt_regs to function trace callback
Return as the 4th paramater to the function tracer callback the pt_regs.

Later patches that implement regs passing for the architectures will require
having the ftrace_ops set the SAVE_REGS flag, which will tell the arch
to take the time to pass a full set of pt_regs to the ftrace_ops callback
function. If the arch does not support it then it should pass NULL.

If an arch can pass full regs, then it should define:
 ARCH_SUPPORTS_FTRACE_SAVE_REGS to 1

Jiri Olsa 7e9a49ef54 tracing/latency: Fix header output for latency tracers
In case the the graph tracer (CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER) or even the
function tracer (CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER) are not set, the latency tracers
do not display proper latency header.

The involved/fixed latency tracers are:
        wakeup_rt
        wakeup
        preemptirqsoff
        preemptoff
        irqsoff

The patch adds proper handling of tracer configuration options for latency
tracers, and displaying correct header info accordingly.

* The current output (for wakeup tracer) with both graph and function
  tracers disabled is:

  # tracer: wakeup
