38b78eb855 tracing: Factorize filter creation
There are four places where new filter for a given filter string is
created, which involves several different steps.  This patch factors
those steps into create_[system_]filter() functions which in turn make
use of create_filter_{start|finish}() for common parts.

The only functional change is that if replace_filter_string() is
requested and fails, creation fails without any side effect instead of
being ignored.

Note that system filter is now installed after the processing is
complete which makes freeing before and then restoring filter string
on error unncessary.

-v2: Rebased to resolve conflict with 49aa29513e and updated both
     create_filter() functions to always set *filterp instead of
     requiring the caller to clear it to %NULL on entry.

d2d45c7a03 tracing: Have stack_tracer use a separate list of functions
The stack_tracer is used to look at every function and check
if the current stack is bigger than the last recorded max stack size.
When a new max is found, then it saves that stack off.

Currently the stack tracer is limited by the global_ops of
the function tracer. As the stack tracer has nothing to do with
the ftrace function tracer, except that it uses it as its internal
engine, the stack tracer should have its own list.

A new file is added to the tracing debugfs directory called:

  stack_trace_filter

that can be used to select which functions you want to check the stack
on.

69a3083c4a ftrace: Decouple hash items from showing filtered functions
The set_ftrace_filter shows "hashed" functions, which are functions
that are added with operations to them (like traceon and traceoff).

As other subsystems may be able to show what functions they are
using for function tracing, the hash items should no longer
be shown just because the FILTER flag is set. As they have nothing
to do with other subsystems filters.

The function tracer is set up to allow any other subsystem (like perf)
to use it. Ftrace already has a way to list what functions are enabled
by the global_ops. It would be very helpful to let other users of
the function tracer to be able to use the same code.

06a51d9307 ftrace: Create ftrace_hash_empty() helper routine
There are two types of hashes in the ftrace_ops; one type
is the filter_hash and the other is the notrace_hash. Either
one may be null, meaning it has no elements. But when elements
are added, the hash is allocated.

Throughout the code, a check needs to be made to see if a hash
exists or the hash has elements, but the check if the hash exists
is usually missing causing the possible "NULL pointer dereference bug".

Add a helper routine called "ftrace_hash_empty()" that returns
true if the hash doesn't exist or its count is zero. As they mean
the same thing.

c842e97552 ftrace: Fix ftrace hash record update with notrace
When disabling the "notrace" records, that means we want to trace them.
If the notrace_hash is zero, it means that we want to trace all
records. But to disable a zero notrace_hash means nothing.

The check for the notrace_hash count was incorrect with:

	if (hash && !hash->count)
		return

With the correct comment above it that states that we do nothing
if the notrace_hash has zero count. But !hash also means that
the notrace hash has zero count. I think this was done to
protect against dereferencing NULL. But if !hash is true, then
we go through the following loop without doing a single thing.

Fix it to:

	if (!hash || !hash->count)
		return;

5855fead9c ftrace: Use bsearch to find record ip
Now that each set of pages in the function list are sorted by
ip, we can use bsearch to find a record within each set of pages.
This speeds up the ftrace_location() function by magnitudes.

For archs (like x86) that need to add a breakpoint at every function
that will be converted from a nop to a callback and vice versa,
the breakpoint callback needs to know if the breakpoint was for
ftrace or not. It requires finding the breakpoint ip within the
records. Doing a linear search is extremely inefficient. It is
a must to be able to do a fast binary search to find these locations.

85ae32ae01 ftrace: Replace record newlist with record page list
As new functions come in to be initalized from mcount to nop,
they are done by groups of pages. Whether it is the core kernel
or a module. There's no need to keep track of these on a per record
basis.

At startup, and as any module is loaded, the functions to be
traced are stored in a group of pages and added to the function
list at the end. We just need to keep a pointer to the first
page of the list that was added, and use that to know where to
start on the list for initializing functions.

a790087554 ftrace: Allocate the mcount record pages as groups
Allocate the mcount record pages as a group of pages as big
as can be allocated and waste no more than a single page.

Grouping the mcount pages as much as possible helps with cache
locality, as we do not need to redirect with descriptors as we
cross from page to page. It also allows us to do more with the
records later on (sort them with bigger benefits).

3208230983 ftrace: Remove usage of "freed" records
Records that are added to the function trace table are
permanently there, except for modules. By separating out the
modules to their own pages that can be freed in one shot
we can remove the "freed" flag and simplify some of the record
management.

Another benefit of doing this is that we can also move the
records around; sort them.

c88fd8634e ftrace: Allow archs to modify code without stop machine
The stop machine method to modify all functions in the kernel
(some 20,000 of them) is the safest way to do so across all archs.
But some archs may not need this big hammer approach to modify code
on SMP machines, and can simply just update the code it needs.

Adding a weak function arch_ftrace_update_code() that now does the
stop machine, will also let any arch override this method.

If the arch needs to check the system and then decide if it can
avoid stop machine, it can still call ftrace_run_stop_machine() to
use the old method.

30fb6aa740 ftrace: Fix unregister ftrace_ops accounting
Multiple users of the function tracer can register their functions
with the ftrace_ops structure. The accounting within ftrace will
update the counter on each function record that is being traced.
When the ftrace_ops filtering adds or removes functions, the
function records will be updated accordingly if the ftrace_ops is
still registered.

When a ftrace_ops is removed, the counter of the function records,
that the ftrace_ops traces, are decremented. When they reach zero
the functions that they represent are modified to stop calling the
mcount code.

When changes are made, the code is updated via stop_machine() with
a command passed to the function to tell it what to do. There is an
ENABLE and DISABLE command that tells the called function to enable
or disable the functions. But the ENABLE is really a misnomer as it
should just update the records, as records that have been enabled
and now have a count of zero should be disabled.

The DISABLE command is used to disable all functions regardless of
their counter values. This is the big off switch and is not the
complement of the ENABLE command.

To make matters worse, when a ftrace_ops is unregistered and there
is another ftrace_ops registered, neither the DISABLE nor the
ENABLE command are set when calling into the stop_machine() function
and the records will not be updated to match their counter. A command
is passed to that function that will update the mcount code to call
the registered callback directly if it is the only one left. This
means that the ftrace_ops that is still registered will have its callback
called by all functions that have been set for it as well as the ftrace_ops
that was just unregistered.

Here's a way to trigger this bug. Compile the kernel with
CONFIG_FUNCTION_PROFILER set and with CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH not set:

 CONFIG_FUNCTION_PROFILER=y
 # CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH is not set

This will force the function profiler to use the function tracer instead
of the function graph tracer.

The same problem could have happened with the trace_probe_ops,
but they are modified with the set_frace_filter file which does the
update at closure of the file.

The simple solution is to change ENABLE to UPDATE and call it every
time an ftrace_ops is unregistered.

as causes the function graph selftest to fail when DYNMAIC_FTRACE

Fix a bug introduced by e9dbfae5, which prevents event_subsystem from
ever being released.

Ref_count was added to keep track of subsystem users, not for counting
events.  Subsystem is created with ref_count = 1, so there is no need to
increment it for every event, we have nr_events for that.  Fix this by
touching ref_count only when we actually have a new user -
subsystem_open().

77271ce4b2 tracing: Add irq, preempt-count and need resched info to default trace output
People keep asking how to get the preempt count, irq, and need resched info
and we keep telling them to enable the latency format. Some developers think
that traces without this info is completely useless, and for a lot of tasks
it is useless.

The first option was to enable the latency trace as the default format, but
the header for the latency format is pretty useless for most tracers and
it also does the timestamp in straight microseconds from the time the trace
started. This is sometimes more difficult to read as the default trace is
seconds from the start of boot up.

Latency format:

 # tracer: nop
 #
 # nop latency trace v1.1.5 on 3.2.0-rc1-test+
 # --------------------------------------------------------------------
 # latency: 0 us, #159771/64234230, CPU#1 | (M:preempt VP:0, KP:0, SP:0 HP:0 #P:4)
 #    -----------------

      migration/0-6     [000]    50.025820: debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled <-__schedule

The latency format header has latency information that is pretty meaningless
for most tracers. Although some of the header is useful, and we can add that
later to the default format as well.

What is really useful with the latency format is the irqs-off, need-resched
hard/softirq context and the preempt count.

This commit adds the option irq-info which is on by default that adds this
information:

 # tracer: nop

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
  #
    <idle>-0       0d.h5    1us+:      0:120:R   + [000]     7:  0:R watchdog/0
    <idle>-0       0d.h5    3us+: ttwu_do_activate.clone.1 <-try_to_wake_up
    ...

* The fixed output is:

  # tracer: wakeup

       cat-1129    0d..4    2us+: ttwu_do_activate.clone.1 <-try_to_wake_up

* The current output (for wakeup tracer) with only function
  tracer enabled is:

  # tracer: wakeup

1) No functions will be enabled for tracing when they all should be

2) If the users clears the set_ftrace_filter twice, it will crash ftrace:

8ee3c92b7f ftrace: Remove force undef config value left for testing
A forced undef of a config value was used for testing and was
accidently left in during the final commit. This causes x86 to
run slower than needed while running function tracing as well
as causes the function graph selftest to fail when DYNMAIC_FTRACE
is not set. This is because the code in MCOUNT expects the ftrace
code to be processed with the config value set that happened to
be forced not set.

The forced config option was left in by:

49aa29513e tracing: Add boiler plate for subsystem filter
The system filter can be used to set multiple event filters that
exist within the system. But currently it displays the last filter
written that does not necessarily correspond to the filters within
the system. The system filter itself is not used to filter any events.
The system filter is just a means to set filters of the events within
it.

Because this causes an ambiguous state when the system filter reads
a filter string but the events within the system have different strings
it is best to just show a boiler plate:

 ### global filter ###
 # Use this to set filters for multiple events.
 # Only events with the given fields will be affected.
 # If no events are modified, an error message will be displayed here.

If an error occurs while writing to the system filter, the system
filter will replace the boiler plate with the error message as it
currently does.

d631097577 tracing: fix event_subsystem ref counting
Fix a bug introduced by e9dbfae5, which prevents event_subsystem from
ever being released.

Ref_count was added to keep track of subsystem users, not for counting
events.  Subsystem is created with ref_count = 1, so there is no need to
increment it for every event, we have nr_events for that.  Fix this by
touching ref_count only when we actually have a new user -
subsystem_open().

Ingo's tree did the insane "add volatile to const array", which just
doesn't make sense ("volatile const"?).  But we could remove the const
*and* make the array volatile to make doubly sure that gcc doesn't
optimize it away..

Also fix up kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c non-data-conflicts manually: the

and there was a new user of it introduced in this perf core merge.  Make

436fc28026 tracing: Fix returning of duplicate data after EOF in trace_pipe_raw
The trace_pipe_raw handler holds a cached page from the time the file
is opened to the time it is closed. The cached page is used to handle
the case of the user space buffer being smaller than what was read from
the ring buffer. The left over buffer is held in the cache so that the
next read will continue where the data left off.

After EOF is returned (no more data in the buffer), the index of
the cached page is set to zero. If a user app reads the page again
after EOF, the check in the buffer will see that the cached page
is less than page size and will return the cached page again. This
will cause reading the trace_pipe_raw again after EOF to return
duplicate data, making the output look like the time went backwards
but instead data is just repeated.

The fix is to not reset the index right after all data is read
from the cache, but to reset it after all data is read and more
data exists in the ring buffer.

d696b58ca2 tracing: Do not allocate buffer for trace_marker
When doing intense tracing, the kmalloc inside trace_marker can
introduce side effects to what is being traced.

As trace_marker() is used by userspace to inject data into the
kernel ring buffer, it needs to do so with the least amount
of intrusion to the operations of the kernel or the user space
application.

As the ring buffer is designed to write directly into the buffer
without the need to make a temporary buffer, and userspace already
went through the hassle of knowing how big the write will be,
we can simply pin the userspace pages and write the data directly
into the buffer. This improves the impact of tracing via trace_marker
tremendously!

Thanks to Peter Zijlstra and Thomas Gleixner for pointing out the
use of get_user_pages_fast() and kmap_atomic().

e0a413f619 tracing: Warn on output if the function tracer was found corrupted
As the function tracer is very intrusive, lots of self checks are
performed on the tracer and if something is found to be strange
it will shut itself down keeping it from corrupting the rest of the
kernel. This shutdown may still allow functions to be traced, as the
tracing only stops new modifications from happening. Trying to stop
the function tracer itself can cause more harm as it requires code
modification.

Although a WARN_ON() is executed, a user may not notice it. To help
the user see that something isn't right with the tracing of the system
a big warning is added to the output of the tracer that lets the user
know that their data may be incomplete.

02ca1521ad ftrace/kprobes: Fix not to delete probes if in use
Fix kprobe-tracer not to delete a probe if the probe is in use.
In that case, delete operation will return -EBUSY.

This bug can cause a kernel panic if enabled probes are deleted
during perf record.

(Add some probes on functions)
sh-4.2# perf probe --del probe:\*
sh-4.2# exit
(kernel panic)

This is originally reported on the fedora bugzilla:

 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=742383

I've also checked that this problem doesn't happen on
tracepoints when module removing because perf event
locks target module.

$ sudo ./perf record -e xfs:\* -aR sh
sh-4.2# rmmod xfs
ERROR: Module xfs is in use
sh-4.2# exit
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.203 MB perf.data (~8862 samples) ]

e36de1de4a tracing: Fix preemptirqsoff tracer to not stop at preempt off
If irqs are disabled when preemption count reaches zero, the
preemptirqsoff tracer should not flag that as the end.

When interrupts are enabled and preemption count is not zero
the preemptirqsoff correctly continues its tracing.
