The func_repeats event shows the output of the function tracer followed by
a count of the number of repeats the previous function had made, as well
as the timestamp of the last function that was repeated.
The printing of the function should be the same as is for the function it
is displaying. Reuse the code in trace_fn_trace() by making a helper
function print_fn_trace() and use it for trace_func_repeats_print().

The event aims to consolidate the function tracing record in the cases
when a single function is called number of times consecutively.
while (cond)
do_func();
This may happen in various scenarios (busy waiting for example).
The new ftrace event can be used to show repeated function events with
a single event and save space on the ring buffer

The part of the code that prints the time of the trace record in
"int trace_print_context()" gets extracted in a static function. This
is done as a preparation for a following patch, in which we will define
a new ftrace event called "func_repeats". The new static method,
defined here, will be used by this new event to print the time of the
last repeat of a function that is consecutively called number of times.

It is a common mistake for someone writing a trace event to save a pointer
to a string in the TP_fast_assign() and then display that string pointer
in the TP_printk() with %s. The problem is that those two events may happen
a long time apart, where the source of the string may no longer exist.
The proper way to handle displaying any string that is not guaranteed to be
in the kernel core rodata section, is to copy it into the ring buffer via
the __string(), __assign_str() and __get_str() helper macros.
Add a check at run time while displaying the TP_printk() of events to make
sure that every %s referenced is safe to dereference, and if it is not,
trigger a warning and only show the address of the pointer, and the
dereferenced string if it can be safely retrieved with a
strncpy_from_kernel_nofault() call.
In order to not have to copy the parsing of vsnprintf() formats, or even
exporting its code, the verifier relies on vsnprintf() being able to
modify the va_list that is passed to it, and it remains modified after it
is called. This is the case for some architectures like x86_64, but other
architectures like x86_32 pass the va_list to vsnprintf() as a value not a
reference, and the verifier can not use it to parse the non string
arguments. Thus, at boot up, it is checked if vsnprintf() modifies the
passed in va_list or not, and a static branch will disable the verifier if
it's not compatible.

To help debugging kernel, show real address for trace event arguments
in tracefs/trace{,pipe} instead of hashed pointer value.
Since ftrace human-readable format uses vsprintf(), all %p are
translated to hash values instead of pointer address.
However, when debugging the kernel, raw address value gives a
hint when comparing with the memory mapping in the kernel.
(Those are sometimes used with crash log, which is not hashed too)
So converting %p with %px when calling trace_seq_printf().
Moreover, this is not improving the security because the tracefs
can be used only by root user and the raw address values are readable
from tracefs/percpu/cpu*/trace_pipe_raw file.

For 64bit CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=0 systems PID_MAX_LIMIT is set by default to
4194304. During boot the kernel sets a new value based on number of CPUs
but no lower than 32768. It is 1024 per CPU so with 128 CPUs the default
becomes 131072 which needs six digits.
This value can be increased during run time but must not exceed the
initial upper limit.
Systemd sometime after v241 sets it to the upper limit during boot. The
result is that when the pid exceeds five digits, the trace output is a
little hard to read because it is no longer properly padded (same like
on big iron with 98+ CPUs).
Increase the pid padding to seven digits.

In order to have the iterator read the buffer even when it's still updating,
it requires that the ring buffer iterator saves each event in a separate
location outside the ring buffer such that its use is immutable.
There's one use case that saves off the event returned from the ring buffer
interator and calls it again to look at the next event, before going back to
use the first event. As the ring buffer iterator will only have a single
copy, this use case will no longer be supported.
Instead, have the one use case create its own buffer to store the first
event when looking at the next event. This way, when looking at the first
event again, it wont be corrupted by the second read.

trace_seq_printf(..., "%s", ...) can be done with trace_seq_puts()
instead, avoiding printf overhead. In the second instance, the string
we're copying was just created from an snprintf() to a stack buffer, so
we might as well do that printf directly. This naturally leads to moving
the declaration of the str buffer inside the CONFIG_KALLSYMS guard,
which in turn will make gcc inline the function for !CONFIG_KALLSYMS (it
only has a single caller, but the huge stack frame seems to make gcc not
inline it for CONFIG_KALLSYMS).

From kernel v4.13 onwards, during which TGID was introduced, tracing
with systrace on all Android kernels will break (most Android kernels
have been on 4.9 with Android patches, so this issues hasn't been seen
yet). From v4.13 onwards things will break.
The chrome browser's tracing tools also embed the systrace viewer which
uses the legacy TGID format and updates to that are known to be
difficult to make.
Considering this, I suggest we make this change to the upstream kernel
and backport it to all Android kernels. I believe this feature is merged
recently enough into the upstream kernel that it shouldn't be a problem.
Also logically, IMO it makes more sense to group the TGID with the
TASK-PID and the CPU after these.

Patch series "DAX tracepoints, mm argument simplification", v4.
This contains both my DAX tracepoint code and Dave Jiang's MM argument
simplifications. Dave's code was written with my tracepoint code as a
baseline, so it seemed simplest to keep them together in a single series.
This patch (of 7):
Add __print_flags_u64() and the helper trace_print_flags_seq_u64() in the
same spirit as __print_symbolic_u64() and trace_print_symbols_seq_u64().
These functions allow us to print symbols associated with flags that are
64 bits wide even on 32 bit machines.
These will be used by the DAX code so that we can print the flags set in a
pfn_t such as PFN_SG_CHAIN, PFN_SG_LAST, PFN_DEV and PFN_MAP.
Without this new function I was getting errors like the following when
compiling for i386:

As NMIs can also cause latency when interrupts are disabled, the hwlat
detectory has no way to know if the latency it detects is from an NMI or an
SMI or some other hardware glitch.
As ftrace_nmi_enter/exit() funtions are no longer used (except for sh, which
isn't supported anymore), I converted those to "arch_ftrace_nmi_enter/exit"
and use ftrace_nmi_enter/exit() to check if hwlat detector is tracing or
not, and if so, it calls into the hwlat utility.
Since the hwlat detector only has a single kthread that is spinning with
interrupts disabled, it marks what CPU it is on, and if the NMI callback
happens on that CPU, it records the time spent in that NMI. This is added to
the output that is generated by the hwlat detector as:
#3 inner/outer(us): 9/9 ts:1470836488.206734548
#4 inner/outer(us): 0/8 ts:1470836497.140808588
#5 inner/outer(us): 0/6 ts:1470836499.140825168 nmi-total:5 nmi-count:1
#6 inner/outer(us): 9/9 ts:1470836501.140841748
All time is still tracked in microseconds.
The NMI information is only shown when an NMI occurred during the sample.

The hardware latency tracer has been in the PREEMPT_RT patch for some time.
It is used to detect possible SMIs or any other hardware interruptions that
the kernel is unaware of. Note, NMIs may also be detected, but that may be
good to note as well.
The logic is pretty simple. It simply creates a thread that spins on a
single CPU for a specified amount of time (width) within a periodic window
(window). These numbers may be adjusted by their cooresponding names in
/sys/kernel/tracing/hwlat_detector/
The defaults are window = 1000000 us (1 second)
width = 500000 us (1/2 second)
The loop consists of:
t1 = trace_clock_local();
t2 = trace_clock_local();
Where trace_clock_local() is a variant of sched_clock().
The difference of t2 - t1 is recorded as the "inner" timestamp and also the
timestamp t1 - prev_t2 is recorded as the "outer" timestamp. If either of
these differences are greater than the time denoted in
/sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_thresh then it records the event.
When this tracer is started, and tracing_thresh is zero, it changes to the
default threshold of 10 us.
The hwlat tracer in the PREEMPT_RT patch was originally written by
Jon Masters. I have modified it quite a bit and turned it into a
tracer.

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.

seq_print_user_ip() is used in only one location in one file. Turn it into a
static function. We could inject its code into the caller, but that would
make the code a bit too complex. Keep the code separate.

seq_print_userip_objs() is used only in one location, in one file. Instead
of having it as an external function, go one further than making it static,
but inject is code into its only user. It doesn't make the calling function
much more complex.

A fine granulity support for delay would be very useful when profiling
VM logics, such as page allocation including page reclaim and memory
compaction with function graph.
Thus, this patch adds two additional marks with two changes.
- An equal sign in mark selection function is removed to align code
behavior with comments and documentation.
- The function graph example related to delay in ftrace.txt is updated
to cover all supported marks.

The name "ftrace" really refers to the function hook infrastructure. It
is not about the trace_events. ftrace_event_name() returns the name of
an event tracepoint, has nothing to do with function tracing. Rename it
to trace_event_name().

The name "ftrace" really refers to the function hook infrastructure. It

really about trace_events, and the name should be register_trace_event()
instead.
Also renamed ftrace_event_reg() to trace_event_reg() for the same reason.

The only caller to this function (__print_array) was getting it wrong by
passing the array length instead of buffer length. As the element size
was already being passed for other reasons it seems reasonable to push
the calculation of buffer length into the function.

If a trace event contains an array, there is currently no standard
way to format this for text output. Drivers are currently hacking
around this by a) local hacks that use the trace_seq functionailty
directly, or b) just not printing that information. For fixed size
arrays, formatting of the elements can be open-coded, but this gets
cumbersome for arrays of non-trivial size.
These approaches result in non-standard content of the event format
description delivered to userspace, so userland tools needs to be
taught to understand and parse each array printing method
individually.
This patch implements a __print_array() helper that tracepoint
implementations can use instead of reinventing it. A simple C-style
syntax is used to delimit the array and its elements {like,this}.
So that the helpers can be used with large static arrays as well as
dynamic arrays, they take a pointer and element count: they can be
used with __get_dynamic_array() for use with dynamic arrays.

Currently, function graph tracer prints "!" or "+" just before
function execution time to signal a function overhead, depending
on the time. And some tracers tracing latency also print "!" or
"+" just after time to signal overhead, depending on the interval
between events. Even it is usually enough to do that, we sometimes
need to signal for bigger execution time than 100 micro seconds.
For example, I used function graph tracer to detect if there is
any case that exit_mm() takes too much time. I did following steps
in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing. It was easier to detect very large
excution time with patched kernel than with original kernel.
$ echo exit_mm > set_graph_function
$ echo function_graph > current_tracer
$ echo > trace
$ cat trace_pipe > $LOGFILE
... (do something and terminate logging)
$ grep "\\$" $LOGFILE
3) $ 22082032 us | } /* kernel_map_pages */
3) $ 22082040 us | } /* free_pages_prepare */
3) $ 22082113 us | } /* free_hot_cold_page */
3) $ 22083455 us | } /* free_hot_cold_page_list */
3) $ 22083895 us | } /* release_pages */
3) $ 22177873 us | } /* free_pages_and_swap_cache */
3) $ 22178929 us | } /* unmap_single_vma */
3) $ 22198885 us | } /* unmap_vmas */
3) $ 22206949 us | } /* exit_mmap */
3) $ 22207659 us | } /* mmput */
3) $ 22207793 us | } /* exit_mm */
And then, it was easy to find out that a schedule-out occured by
sub_preempt_count() within kernel_map_pages().
To detect very large function exection time caused by either problematic
function implementation or scheduling issues, this patch can be useful.
