tracing: Remove ftrace_preempt_disable/enable The ftrace_preempt_disable/enable functions were to address a recursive race caused by the function tracer. The function tracer traces all functions which makes it easily susceptible to recursion. One area was preempt_enable(). This would call the scheduler and the schedulre would call the function tracer and loop. (So was it thought). The ftrace_preempt_disable/enable was made to protect against recursion inside the scheduler by storing the NEED_RESCHED flag. If it was set before the ftrace_preempt_disable() it would not call schedule on ftrace_preempt_enable(), thinking that if it was set before then it would have already scheduled unless it was already in the scheduler. This worked fine except in the case of SMP, where another task would set the NEED_RESCHED flag for a task on another CPU, and then kick off an IPI to trigger it. This could cause the NEED_RESCHED to be saved at ftrace_preempt_disable() but the IPI to arrive in the the preempt disabled section. The ftrace_preempt_enable() would not call the scheduler because the flag was already set before entring the section. This bug would cause a missed preemption check and cause lower latencies. Investigating further, I found that the recusion caused by the function tracer was not due to schedule(), but due to preempt_schedule(). Now that preempt_schedule is completely annotated with notrace, the recusion no longer is an issue.

tracing: Do no increment trace_clock_global() by one The trace_clock_global() tries to make sure the events between CPUs is somewhat in order. A global value is used and updated by the latest read of a clock. If one CPU is ahead by a little, and is read by another CPU, a lock is taken, and if the timestamp of the other CPU is behind, it will simply use the other CPUs timestamp. The lock is also only taken with a "trylock" due to tracing, and strange recursions can happen. The lock is not taken at all in NMI context. In the case where the lock is not able to be taken, the non synced timestamp is returned. But it will not be less than the saved global timestamp. The problem arises because when the time goes "backwards" the time returned is the saved timestamp plus 1. If the lock is not taken, and the plus one to the timestamp is returned, there's a small race that can cause the time to go backwards!

That is, time when backwards, and this is not what is allowed by trace_clock_global().

tracing: Do no increment trace_clock_global() by one The trace_clock_global() tries to make sure the events between CPUs is somewhat in order. A global value is used and updated by the latest read of a clock. If one CPU is ahead by a little, and is read by another CPU, a lock is taken, and if the timestamp of the other CPU is behind, it will simply use the other CPUs timestamp. The lock is also only taken with a "trylock" due to tracing, and strange recursions can happen. The lock is not taken at all in NMI context. In the case where the lock is not able to be taken, the non synced timestamp is returned. But it will not be less than the saved global timestamp. The problem arises because when the time goes "backwards" the time returned is the saved timestamp plus 1. If the lock is not taken, and the plus one to the timestamp is returned, there's a small race that can cause the time to go backwards!
