Add the necessary infrastructure to allow the variables defined on one
event to be referenced in another. This allows variables set by a
previous event to be referenced and used in expressions combining the
variable values saved by that previous event and the event fields of
the current event. For example, here's how a latency can be
calculated and saved into yet another variable named 'wakeup_lat':
# echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio:ts0=common_timestamp ...
# echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp-$ts0 ...
In the first event, the event's timetamp is saved into the variable
ts0. In the next line, ts0 is subtracted from the second event's
timestamp to produce the latency.
Further users of variable references will be described in subsequent
patches, such as for instance how the 'wakeup_lat' variable above can
be displayed in a latency histogram.

Appending .usecs onto a common_timestamp field will cause the
timestamp value to be in microseconds instead of the default
nanoseconds. A typical latency histogram using usecs would look like
this:
# echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs ...
# echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0 ...
This also adds an external trace_clock_in_ns() to trace.c for the
timestamp conversion.

Add a new option flag indicating whether or not the ring buffer is in
'absolute timestamp' mode.
Currently this is only set/unset by hist triggers that make use of a
common_timestamp. As such, there's no reason to make this writeable
for users - its purpose is only to allow users to determine
unequivocally whether or not the ring buffer is in that mode (although
absolute timestamps can coexist with the normal delta timestamps, when
the ring buffer is in absolute mode, timestamps written while absolute
mode is in effect take up more space in the buffer, and are not as
efficient).

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:
for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\<POLL$V\>\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
done
with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.
NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.
The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

There's not much changes for the tracing system this release.
Mostly small clean ups and fixes.
The biggest change is to how bprintf works. bprintf is used by
trace_printk() to just save the format and args of a printf call,
and the formatting is done when the trace buffer is read. This is
done to keep the formatting out of the fast path (this was recommended
by you). The issue is when arguments are de-referenced.
If a pointer is saved, and the format has something like "%*pbl",
when the buffer is read, it will de-reference the argument then.
The problem is if the data no longer exists. This can cause the
kernel to oops.
The fix for this was to make these de-reference pointes do
the formatting at the time it is called (the fast path), as
this guarantees that the data exists (and doesn't change later)

Pull poll annotations from Al Viro:
"This introduces a __bitwise type for POLL### bitmap, and propagates
the annotations through the tree. Most of that stuff is as simple as
'make ->poll() instances return __poll_t and do the same to local
variables used to hold the future return value'.
Some of the obvious brainos found in process are fixed (e.g. POLLIN
misspelled as POLL_IN). At that point the amount of sparse warnings is
low and most of them are for genuine bugs - e.g. ->poll() instance
deciding to return -EINVAL instead of a bitmap. I hadn't touched those
in this series - it's large enough as it is.
Another problem it has caught was eventpoll() ABI mess; select.c and
eventpoll.c assumed that corresponding POLL### and EPOLL### were
equal. That's true for some, but not all of them - EPOLL### are
arch-independent, but POLL### are not.
The last commit in this series separates userland POLL### values from
the (now arch-independent) kernel-side ones, converting between them
in the few places where they are copied to/from userland. AFAICS, this
is the least disruptive fix preserving poll(2) ABI and making epoll()
work on all architectures.
As it is, it's simply broken on sparc - try to give it EPOLLWRNORM and
it will trigger only on what would've triggered EPOLLWRBAND on other
architectures. EPOLLWRBAND and EPOLLRDHUP, OTOH, are never triggered
at all on sparc. With this patch they should work consistently on all
architectures"

User space can pass in a C nul character '\0' along with its input. The

open("/sys/kernel/debug/tracing//set_ftrace_pid", O_WRONLY|O_TRUNC) = 3
write(3, " \0", 2) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
while parse can handle spaces, so below works.

$ echo " " > set_ftrace_pid
$ echo -n " " > set_ftrace_pid
Have the parser stop on '\0' and cease any further parsing. Only process
the characters up to the nul '\0' character and do not process it.

Double free of the ring buffer happens when it fails to alloc new
ring buffer instance for max_buffer if TRACER_MAX_TRACE is configured.
The root cause is that the pointer is not set to NULL after the buffer
is freed in allocate_trace_buffers(), and the freeing of the ring
buffer is invoked again later if the pointer is not equal to Null,
as:
instance_mkdir()
|-allocate_trace_buffers()
|-allocate_trace_buffer(tr, &tr->trace_buffer...)
|-allocate_trace_buffer(tr, &tr->max_buffer...)
// allocate fail(-ENOMEM),first free
// and the buffer pointer is not set to null
|-ring_buffer_free(tr->trace_buffer.buffer)
// out_free_tr
|-free_trace_buffers()
|-free_trace_buffer(&tr->trace_buffer);
//if trace_buffer is not null, free again
|-ring_buffer_free(buf->buffer)
|-rb_free_cpu_buffer(buffer->buffers[cpu])
// ring_buffer_per_cpu is null, and
// crash in ring_buffer_per_cpu->pages

Currently trace_clock timestamps are applied to both regular and max
buffers only for global trace. For instance trace, trace_clock
timestamps are applied only to regular buffer. But, regular and max
buffers can be swapped, for example, following a snapshot. So, for
instance trace, bad timestamps can be seen following a snapshot.
Let's apply trace_clock timestamps to instance max buffer as well.

trace_printk() uses 4 buffers, one for each context (normal, softirq, irq
and NMI), such that it does not need to worry about one context preempting
the other. There's a nesting counter that gets incremented to figure out
which buffer to use. If the context gets preempted by another context which
calls trace_printk() it will increment the counter and use the next buffer,
and restore the counter when it is finished.
The problem is that gcc may optimize the modification of the buffer nesting
counter and it may not be incremented in memory before the buffer is used.
If this happens, and the context gets interrupted by another context, it
could pick the same buffer and corrupt the one that is being used.
Compiler barriers need to be added after the nesting variable is incremented
and before it is decremented to prevent usage of the context buffers by more
than one context at the same time.

Currently, when a module event is enabled, when that module is removed, it
clears all ring buffers. This is to prevent another module from being loaded
and having one of its trace event IDs from reusing a trace event ID of the
removed module. This could cause undesirable effects as the trace event of
the new module would be using its own processing algorithms to process raw
data of another event. To prevent this, when a module is loaded, if any of
its events have been used (signified by the WAS_ENABLED event call flag,
which is never cleared), all ring buffers are cleared, just in case any one
of them contains event data of the removed event.
The problem is, there's no reason to clear all ring buffers if only one (or
less than all of them) uses one of the events. Instead, only clear the ring
buffers that recorded the events of a module that is being removed.
To do this, instead of keeping the WAS_ENABLED flag with the trace event
call, move it to the per instance (per ring buffer) event file descriptor.
The event file descriptor maps each event to a separate ring buffer
instance. Then when the module is removed, only the ring buffers that
activated one of the module's events get cleared. The rest are not touched.

Chunyu Hu reported:
"per_cpu trace directories and files are created for all possible cpus,

open handler for trace file 'trace_pipe_raw' is always trying to access
field of ring_buffer_per_cpu, and would panic with the NULL pointer.
Align the behavior of trace_pipe_raw with trace_pipe, that returns -NODEV
when openning it if that cpu does not have trace ring buffer.
Reproduce:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/per_cpu/cpu31/trace_pipe_raw

Tested with:

This was introduced by the addition of the feature to reuse reader pages
instead of re-allocating them. The problem is that the allocation of a
reader page (which is per cpu) does not check if the cpu is online and set
up for the ring buffer.

The clear_boot_tracer function is used to reset the default_bootup_tracer
string to prevent it from being accessed after boot, as it originally points
to init data. But since clear_boot_tracer() is called via the
init_lateinit() call, it races with the initcall for registering the hwlat
tracer. If someone adds "ftrace=hwlat" to the kernel command line, depending
on how the linker sets up the text, the saved command line may be cleared,
and the hwlat tracer never is initialized.
Simply have the clear_boot_tracer() be called by initcall_lateinit_sync() as
that's for tasks to be called after lateinit.

The addition of TGID to the tracing header added a check to see if TGID
shoudl be displayed or not, and updated the header accordingly.
Unfortunately, it broke the default header.
Also add constant strings to use for spacing. This does remove the
visibility of the header a bit, but cuts it down from the extended lines
much greater than 80 characters.

When doing the following command:
# echo ":mod:kvm_intel" > /sys/kernel/tracing/stack_trace_filter
it triggered a crash.
This happened with the clean up of probes. It required all callers to the
regex function (doing ftrace filtering) to have ops->private be a pointer to
a trace_array. But for the stack tracer, that is not the case.
Allow for the ops->private to be NULL, and change the function command
callbacks to handle the trace_array pointer being NULL as well.

Inorder to support recording of tgid, the following changes are made:
* Introduce a new API (tracing_record_taskinfo) to additionally record the tgid
along with the task's comm at the same time. This has has the benefit of not
setting trace_cmdline_save before all the information for a task is saved.
* Add a new API tracing_record_taskinfo_sched_switch to record task information
for 2 tasks at a time (previous and next) and use it from sched_switch probe.
* Preserve the old API (tracing_record_cmdline) and create it as a wrapper
around the new one so that existing callers aren't affected.
* Reuse the existing sched_switch and sched_wakeup probes to record tgid
information and add a new option 'record-tgid' to enable recording of tgid
When record-tgid option isn't enabled to being with, we take care to make sure
that there's isn't memory or runtime overhead.

Strcpy is inherently not safe, and strlcpy() should be used instead.
__trace_find_cmdline() uses strcpy() because the comms saved must have a

of using strlcpy() instead of strcpy().

o Pretty much a full rewrite of the processing of function plugins.
i.e. echo do_IRQ:stacktrace > set_ftrace_filter
o The rewrite was needed to add plugins to be unique to tracing instances.
i.e. mkdir instance/foo; cd instances/foo; echo do_IRQ:stacktrace > set_ftrace_filter
The old way was written very hacky. This removes a lot of those hacks.
o New "function-fork" tracing option. When set, pids in the set_ftrace_pid
will have their children added when the processes with their pids
listed in the set_ftrace_pid file forks.
o Exposure of "maxactive" for kretprobe in kprobe_events
o Allow for builtin init functions to be traced by the function tracer
(via the kernel command line). Module init function tracing will come
in the next release.
o Added more selftests, and have selftests also test in an instance.

Merge tag 'trace-v4.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"New features for this release:
- Pretty much a full rewrite of the processing of function plugins.
i.e. echo do_IRQ:stacktrace > set_ftrace_filter
- The rewrite was needed to add plugins to be unique to tracing
instances. i.e. mkdir instance/foo; cd instances/foo; echo
do_IRQ:stacktrace > set_ftrace_filter The old way was written very
hacky. This removes a lot of those hacks.
- New "function-fork" tracing option. When set, pids in the
set_ftrace_pid will have their children added when the processes
with their pids listed in the set_ftrace_pid file forks.
- Exposure of "maxactive" for kretprobe in kprobe_events
- Allow for builtin init functions to be traced by the function
tracer (via the kernel command line). Module init function tracing
will come in the next release.
- Added more selftests, and have selftests also test in an instance"

When reading the ring buffer for consuming, it is optimized for splice,
where a page is taken out of the ring buffer (zero copy) and sent to the
reading consumer. When the read is finished with the page, it calls
ring_buffer_free_read_page(), which simply frees the page. The next time the
reader needs to get a page from the ring buffer, it must call
ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() which allocates and initializes a reader page
for the ring buffer to be swapped into the ring buffer for a new filled page
for the reader.
The problem is that there's no reason to actually free the page when it is
passed back to the ring buffer. It can hold it off and reuse it for the next
iteration. This completely removes the interaction with the page_alloc
mechanism.
Using the trace-cmd utility to record all events (causing trace-cmd to
require reading lots of pages from the ring buffer, and calling
ring_buffer_alloc/free_read_page() several times), and also assigning a
stack trace trigger to the mm_page_alloc event, we can see how many times
the ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() needed to allocate a page for the ring
buffer.

With the redesign of the registration and execution of the function probes
(triggers), data can now be passed from the setup of the probe to the probe
callers that are specific to the trace_array it is on. Although, all probes
still only affect the toplevel trace array, this change will allow for
instances to have their own probes separated from other instances and the
top array.
That is, something like the stacktrace probe can be set to trace only in an
instance and not the toplevel trace array. This isn't implement yet, but
this change sets the ground work for the change.
When a probe callback is triggered (someone writes the probe format into
set_ftrace_filter), it calls register_ftrace_function_probe() passing in
init_data that will be used to initialize the probe. Then for every matching
function, register_ftrace_function_probe() will call the probe_ops->init()
function with the init data that was passed to it, as well as an address to
a place holder that is associated with the probe and the instance. The first
occurrence will have a NULL in the pointer. The init() function will then
initialize it. If other probes are added, or more functions are part of the
probe, the place holder will be passed to the init() function with the place
holder data that it was initialized to the last time.
Then this place_holder is passed to each of the other probe_ops functions,
where it can be used in the function callback. When the probe_ops free()
function is called, it can be called either with the rip of the function
that is being removed from the probe, or zero, indicating that there are no
more functions attached to the probe, and the place holder is about to be
freed. This gives the probe_ops a way to free the data it assigned to the
place holder if it was allocade during the first init call.

In order to eventually have each trace_array instance have its own unique
set of function probes (triggers), the trace array needs to hold the ops and
the filters for the probes.
This is the first step to accomplish this. Instead of having the private
data of the probe ops point to the trace_array, create a separate list that
the trace_array holds. There's only one private_data for a probe, we need
one per trace_array. The probe ftrace_ops will be dynamically created for
each instance, instead of being static.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Pass the trace_array associated to a ftrace_probe_ops into the probe_ops
func(), init() and free() functions. The trace_array is the descriptor that
describes a tracing instance. This will help create the infrastructure that
will allow having function probes unique to tracing instances.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Add a link list to the trace_array to hold func probes that are registered.
Currently, all function probes are the same for all instances as it was
before, that is, only the top level trace_array holds the function probes.
But this lays the ground work to have function probes be attached to
individual instances, and having the event trigger only affect events in the
given instance. But that work is still to be done.

Currently unregister_ftrace_function_probe_func() is a void function. It
does not give any feedback if an error occurred or no item was found to
remove and nothing was done.
Change it to return status and success if it removed something. Also update
the callers to return that feedback to the user.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
No users of the function probes uses the data field anymore. Remove it, and
change the init function to take a void *data parameter instead of a
void **data, because the init will just get the data that the registering
function was received, and there's no state after it is called.
The other functions for ftrace_probe_ops still take the data parameter, but
it will currently only be passed NULL. It will stay as a parameter for
future data to be passed to these functions.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
As the data pointer for individual ips will soon be removed and no longer

In preparation to cleaning up the probe function registration code, the
"data" parameter will eventually be removed from the probe->func() call.
Instead it will receive its own "ops" function, in which it can set up its
own data that it needs to map.

Currently the snapshot trigger enables the probe and then allocates the
snapshot. If the probe triggers before the allocation, it could cause the
snapshot to fail and turn tracing off. It's best to allocate the snapshot
buffer first, and then enable the trigger. If something goes wrong in the
enabling of the trigger, the snapshot buffer is still allocated, but it can
also be freed by the user by writting zero into the snapshot buffer file.
Also add a check of the return status of alloc_snapshot().

When function tracer has a pid filter, it adds a probe to sched_switch
to track if current task can be ignored. The probe checks the
ftrace_ignore_pid from current tr to filter tasks. But it misses to
delete the probe when removing an instance so that it can cause a crash
due to the invalid tr pointer (use-after-free).
This is easily reproducible with the following:
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
# mkdir instances/buggy
# echo $$ > instances/buggy/set_ftrace_pid
# rmdir instances/buggy

Currently trace_handle_return() looks like this:
static inline enum print_line_t trace_handle_return(struct trace_seq *s)
{
return trace_seq_has_overflowed(s) ?
TRACE_TYPE_PARTIAL_LINE : TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED;
}
Where trace_seq_overflowed(s) is:
static inline bool trace_seq_has_overflowed(struct trace_seq *s)
{
return s->full || seq_buf_has_overflowed(&s->seq);
}
And seq_buf_has_overflowed(&s->seq) is:
static inline bool
seq_buf_has_overflowed(struct seq_buf *s)
{
return s->len > s->size;
}
Making trace_handle_return() into:
return (s->full || (s->seq->len > s->seq->size)) ?
TRACE_TYPE_PARTIAL_LINE :
TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED;
One would think this is not an issue to keep as an inline. But because this
is used in the TRACE_EVENT() macro, it is extended for every tracepoint in
the system. Taking a look at a single tracepoint x86_irq_vector (was the
first one I randomly chosen). As trace_handle_return is used in the
TRACE_EVENT() macro of trace_raw_output_##call() we disassemble
trace_raw_output_x86_irq_vector and do a diff:
- is the original
+ is the out-of-line code
I removed identical lines that were different just due to different
addresses.

Since the kernel includes many non-global functions with same names, we
will need to use offsets from other symbols (typically _text/_stext) or
absolute addresses to place return probes on specific functions. Also,
the core register_kretprobe() API never forbid use of offsets or
absolute addresses with kretprobes.
Allow its use with the trace infrastructure. To distinguish kernels that
support this, update ftrace README to explicitly call this out.

trace_parser_put() simply frees the allocated parser buffer. But it does not

called on the same parser more than once, it will corrupt the allocation
system. Setting parser->buffer to NULL after free allows it to be called
more than once without any ill effect.

To support unprivileged users mounting filesystems two permission
checks have to be performed: a test to see if the user allowed to
create a mount in the mount namespace, and a test to see if
the user is allowed to access the specified filesystem.
The automount case is special in that mounting the original filesystem
grants permission to mount the sub-filesystems, to any user who
happens to stumble across the their mountpoint and satisfies the
ordinary filesystem permission checks.
Attempting to handle the automount case by using override_creds
almost works. It preserves the idea that permission to mount
the original filesystem is permission to mount the sub-filesystem.
Unfortunately using override_creds messes up the filesystems
ordinary permission checks.
Solve this by being explicit that a mount is a submount by introducing
vfs_submount, and using it where appropriate.
vfs_submount uses a new mount internal mount flags MS_SUBMOUNT, to let
sget and friends know that a mount is a submount so they can take appropriate
action.
sget and sget_userns are modified to not perform any permission checks
on submounts.
follow_automount is modified to stop using override_creds as that
has proven problemantic.
do_mount is modified to always remove the new MS_SUBMOUNT flag so
that we know userspace will never by able to specify it.
autofs4 is modified to stop using current_real_cred that was put in
there to handle the previous version of submount permission checking.
cifs is modified to pass the mountpoint all of the way down to vfs_submount.
debugfs is modified to pass the mountpoint all of the way down to
trace_automount by adding a new parameter. To make this change easier
a new typedef debugfs_automount_t is introduced to capture the type of
the debugfs automount function.

Instead of using get_user_pages_fast() and kmap_atomic() when writing
to the trace_marker file, just allocate enough space on the ring buffer
directly, and write into it via copy_from_user().
Writing into the trace_marker file use to allocate a temporary buffer
to perform the copy_from_user(), as we didn't want to write into the
ring buffer if the copy failed. But as a trace_marker write is suppose
to be extremely fast, and allocating memory causes other tracepoints to
trigger, Peter Zijlstra suggested using get_user_pages_fast() and
kmap_atomic() to keep the user space pages in memory and reading it
directly. But Henrik Austad had issues with this because it required taking
the mm->mmap_sem and causing long delays with the write.
Instead, just allocate the space in the ring buffer and use
copy_from_user() directly. If it faults, return -EFAULT and write
"<faulted>" into the ring buffer.

ring_buffer is replaced by the multi instance interface. Upon

the trace_rb_cpu_prepare() on each CPU.
This callback may now fail. This means __ring_buffer_alloc() will fail and

The function __buffer_unlock_commit() is called in a few places outside of
trace.c. But for the most part, it should really be inlined, as it is in the
hot path of the trace_events. For the callers outside of trace.c, create a
new function trace_buffer_unlock_commit_nostack(), as the reason it was used
was to avoid the stack tracing that trace_buffer_unlock_commit() could do.

Currently, when tracepoint_printk is set (enabled by the "tp_printk" kernel
command line), it causes trace events to print via printk(). This is a very
dangerous operation, but is useful for debugging.
The issue is, it's seldom used, but it is always checked even if it's not
enabled by the kernel command line. Instead of having this feature called by
a branch against a variable, turn that variable into a static key, and this
will remove the test and jump.
To simplify things, the functions output_printk() and
trace_event_buffer_commit() were moved from trace_events.c to trace.c.

As Andi Kleen pointed out in the Link below, the trace events has quite a
bit of code execution. A lot of that happens to be calling functions, where
some of them should simply be inlined. One of these functions happens to be
trace_buffer_lock_reserve() which is also a global, but it is used
throughout the file it is defined in. Create a __trace_buffer_lock_reserve()
that is always inlined that the file can benefit from.

Currently Function traces can be only exported to the ring buffer. This
adds a trace_export concept which can process traces and export
them to a registered destination as an addition to the current
one that outputs to Ftrace - i.e. ring buffer.
In this way, if we want function traces to be sent to other destinations
rather than only to the ring buffer, we just need to register a new
trace_export and implement its own .write() function for writing traces to
storage.
With this patch, only function tracing (trace type is TRACE_FN)
is supported.

Use glob_match() to support flexible glob wildcards (*,?)

Since the full glob matching is slower than the current

expression.

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.

Commit 345ddcc882 ("ftrace: Have set_ftrace_pid use the bitmap like events
do") placed ftrace_init_tracefs into the instance creation, and encapsulated
the top level updating with an if conditional, as the top level only gets
updated at boot up. Unfortunately, this triggers section mismatch errors as
the init functions are called from a function that can be called later, and
the section mismatch logic is unaware of the if conditional that would
prevent it from happening at run time.
To make everyone happy, create a separate ftrace_init_tracefs_toplevel()
routine that only gets called by init functions, and this will be what calls
other init functions for the toplevel directory.

The stacktrace trigger isn't as bad, because it adds its own skip to the
stacktracing, but still has two events extra.
One issue is that if the stacktrace passes its own "regs" then there should
be no addition to the skip, as the regs will not include the functions being
called. This was an issue that was fixed by commit 7717c6be69 ("tracing:
Fix stacktrace skip depth in trace_buffer_unlock_commit_regs()" as adding
the skip number for kprobes made the probes not have any stack at all.
But since this is only an issue when regs is being used, a skip should be
added if regs is NULL. Now we have:
# echo 1 > options/stacktrace
# echo 1 > events/sched/sched_switch/enable
# cat trace

Currently, the trace_printk code chooses which static buffer to use based
on what type of atomic context (NMI, IRQ, etc) it's in. Simplify the
code and make it more robust: simply count the nesting depth and choose
a buffer based on the current nesting depth.
The new code will only drop an event if we nest more than 4 deep,
and the old code was guaranteed to malfunction if that happened.

Filtering of events requires the data to be written to the ring buffer
before it can be decided to filter or not. This is because the parameters of
the filter are based on the result that is written to the ring buffer and
not on the parameters that are passed into the trace functions.
The ftrace ring buffer is optimized for writing into the ring buffer and
committing. The discard procedure used when filtering decides the event
should be discarded is much more heavy weight. Thus, using a temporary
filter when filtering events can speed things up drastically.
Without a temp buffer we have:
# trace-cmd start -p nop
# perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
0.790706626 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.71% )
# trace-cmd start -e all
# perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
1.566904059 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.27% )
# trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count==20'
# perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
1.690598511 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.19% )
# trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count!=20'
# perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
1.707486364 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.30% )
The first run above is without any tracing, just to get a based figure.
hackbench takes ~0.79 seconds to run on the system.
The second run enables tracing all events where nothing is filtered. This
increases the time by 100% and hackbench takes 1.57 seconds to run.
The third run filters all events where the preempt count will equal "20"
(this should never happen) thus all events are discarded. This takes 1.69
seconds to run. This is 10% slower than just committing the events!
The last run enables all events and filters where the filter will commit all
events, and this takes 1.70 seconds to run. The filtering overhead is
approximately 10%. Thus, the discard and commit of an event from the ring
buffer may be about the same time.
With this patch, the numbers change:
# trace-cmd start -p nop
# perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
0.778233033 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.38% )
# trace-cmd start -e all
# perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
1.582102692 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.28% )
# trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count==20'
# perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
1.309230710 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.22% )
# trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count!=20'
# perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
1.786001924 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.20% )
The first run is again the base with no tracing.
The second run is all tracing with no filtering. It is a little slower, but
that may be well within the noise.
The third run shows that discarding all events only took 1.3 seconds. This
is a speed up of 23%! The discard is much faster than even the commit.
The one downside is shown in the last run. Events that are not discarded by
the filter will take longer to add, this is due to the extra copy of the
event.

As the event-fork option requires doing work when enabled and disabled, it
can not be passed down to created instances. The instance must clear this
flag when it is created, and must clear it when its removed.
As more options may be created with this need, a macro ZEROED_TRACE_FLAGS is
created that holds the flags that must not be inherited by the top level
instance, and must be cleared on removal of instances.

Allow users to define 'named' hist triggers. All triggers created
with the same 'name=xxx' option will update the same shared histogram
data.
This expands the hist trigger syntax from this:
# echo hist:keys=xxx ... [ if filter] > event/trigger
to this:
# echo hist:name=xxx:keys=xxx ... [ if filter] > event/trigger
Named histograms must use a 'compatible' set of keys and values, which
means each event added to a set of named triggers must have the same
names and types.
Reading the 'hist' file of any of the participating events will
produce the same output as any other participating event, which is to
be expected since they share the same data.

Similar to enable_event/disable_event triggers, these triggers enable
and disable the aggregation of events into maps rather than enabling
and disabling their writing into the trace buffer.
They can be used to automatically start and stop hist triggers based
on a matching filter condition.
If there's a paused hist trigger on system:event, the following would
start it when the filter condition was hit:
# echo enable_hist:system:event [ if filter] > event/trigger
And the following would disable a running system:event hist trigger:
# echo disable_hist:system:event [ if filter] > event/trigger
See Documentation/trace/events.txt for real examples.

'hist' triggers allow users to continually aggregate trace events,
which can then be viewed afterwards by simply reading a 'hist' file
containing the aggregation in a human-readable format.
The basic idea is very simple and boils down to a mechanism whereby
trace events, rather than being exhaustively dumped in raw form and
viewed directly, are automatically 'compressed' into meaningful tables
completely defined by the user.
This is done strictly via single-line command-line commands and
without the aid of any kind of programming language or interpreter.
A surprising number of typical use cases can be accomplished by users
via this simple mechanism. In fact, a large number of the tasks that
users typically do using the more complicated script-based tracing
tools, at least during the initial stages of an investigation, can be
accomplished by simply specifying a set of keys and values to be used
in the creation of a hash table.
The Linux kernel trace event subsystem happens to provide an extensive
list of keys and values ready-made for such a purpose in the form of
the event format files associated with each trace event. By simply
consulting the format file for field names of interest and by plugging
them into the hist trigger command, users can create an endless number
of useful aggregations to help with investigating various properties
of the system. See Documentation/trace/events.txt for examples.
hist triggers are implemented on top of the existing event trigger
infrastructure, and as such are consistent with the existing triggers
from a user's perspective as well.
The basic syntax follows the existing trigger syntax. Users start an
aggregation by writing a 'hist' trigger to the event of interest's
trigger file:
# echo hist:keys=xxx [ if filter] > event/trigger
Once a hist trigger has been set up, by default it continually
aggregates every matching event into a hash table using the event key
and a value field named 'hitcount'.
To view the aggregation at any point in time, simply read the 'hist'
file in the same directory as the 'trigger' file:
# cat event/hist
The detailed syntax provides additional options for user control, and
is described exhaustively in Documentation/trace/events.txt and in the
virtual tracing/README file in the tracing subsystem.

Add the infrastructure needed to have the PIDs in set_event_pid to
automatically add PIDs of the children of the tasks that have their PIDs in

exits
This is implemented by adding hooks into the fork and exit tracepoints. On
fork, the PIDs are added to the list, and on exit, they are removed.
Add a new option called event_fork that when set, PIDs in set_event_pid will
automatically get their children PIDs added when they fork, as well as any
task that exits will have its PID removed from set_event_pid.

Use the more common logging method with the eventual goal of removing
pr_warning altogether.
Miscellanea:
- Realign arguments
- Coalesce formats
- Add missing space between a few coalesced formats

The latency tracer format has a nice column to indicate IRQ state, but
this is not able to tell us about NMI state.
When tracing perf interrupt handlers (which often run in NMI context)
it is very useful to see how the events nest.

If tracing contains data and the trace_pipe file is read with sendfile(),
then it can trigger a NULL pointer dereference and various BUG_ON within the
VM code.
There's a patch to fix this in the splice_to_pipe() code, but it's also a
good idea to not let that happen from trace_pipe either.

commit d39cdd2036 ("tracing: Make tracer_flags use the right set_flag
callback") introduces a potential mutex deadlock issue, as it forgets to
free the mutex when allocaing the tracer_flags gets fail.
The issue was found by Dan Carpenter through Smatch static code check tool.

When I was updating the ftrace_stress test of ltp. I encountered
a strange phenomemon, excute following steps:
echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/options/funcgraph-cpu
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
check dmesg:
[ 1024.903855] nop_test_refuse flag set to 0: we refuse.Now cat trace_options to see the result
The reason is that the trace option test will randomly setup trace
option under tracing/options no matter what the current_tracer is.
but the set_tracer_option is always using the set_flag callback
from the current_tracer. This patch adds a pointer to tracer_flags
and make it point to the tracer it belongs to. When the option is
setup, the set_flag of the right tracer will be used no matter
what the the current_tracer is.
And the old dummy_tracer_flags is used for all the tracers which
doesn't have a tracer_flags, having issue to use it to save the
pointer of a tracer. So remove it and use dynamic dummy tracer_flags
for tracers needing a dummy tracer_flags, as a result, there are no
tracers sharing tracer_flags, so remove the check code.
And save the current tracer to trace_option_dentry seems not good as
it may waste mem space when mount the debug/trace fs more than one time.
