If a trace point header defines TRACE_SYSTEM, then it will add the
following trace points into that event system.
If include/trace/irq_event_types.h has:
#define TRACE_SYSTEM irq
at the top and
#undef TRACE_SYSTEM
at the bottom, then a directory "irq" will be created in the
/debug/tracing/events directory. Inside that directory will contain the
two trace points that are defined in include/trace/irq_event_types.h.
Only adding the above to irq and not to sched, we get:
# ls /debug/tracing/events/
irq sched_process_exit sched_signal_send sched_wakeup_new
sched_kthread_stop sched_process_fork sched_switch
sched_kthread_stop_ret sched_process_free sched_wait_task
sched_migrate_task sched_process_wait sched_wakeup
# ls /debug/tracing/events/irq
irq_handler_entry irq_handler_exit
If we add #define TRACE_SYSTEM sched to the trace/sched_event_types.h
then the rest of the trace events will be put in a sched directory
within the events directory.
I've been playing with this idea of the subsystem for a while, but
recently Tom Zanussi posted some patches to lkml that included this
method. Tom's approach was clean and got me to finally put some effort
to clean up the event trace points.
Thanks to Tom Zanussi for demonstrating how nice the subsystem
method is.

Impact: clean up
To further facilitate the ease of adding trace points for developers, this
patch creates include/trace/trace_events.h and
include/trace/trace_event_types.h.
The former file will hold the trace/<type>.h files and the latter will hold
the trace/<type>_event_types.h files.
To create new tracepoints and to have them automatically
appear in the event tracer, a developer makes the trace/<type>.h file
which includes <linux/tracepoint.h> and the trace/<type>_event_types.h file.
The trace/<type>_event_types.h file will hold the TRACE_FORMAT
macros.
Then add the trace/<type>.h file to trace/trace_events.h,
and add the trace/<type>_event_types.h to the trace_event_types.h file.
No need to modify files elsewhere.

Impact: fix compile warning and clean up
When I first wrote __tracing_open, instead of passing the error
code via the ERR_PTR macros, I lazily used a separate parameter
to hold the return for errors.
When Frederic Weisbecker updated that function, he used the Linux
kernel ERR_PTR for the returns. This caused the parameter return
to possibly not be initialized on error. gcc correctly pointed this
out with a warning.
This patch converts the entire function to use the Linux kernel
ERR_PTR macro methods.

Impact: fix to possible race conditions
There's some uses of current_tracer that is not protected by the
trace_types_lock. There is a small chance that a sysadmin changes
the tracer while the current_tracer is being referenced.
If the race is hit, it is unlikely to cause any harm since the
tracers are constant and are not freed. But some strang side
effects may occur.

The per cpu trace files are all in a single directory:

directory per cpu inside /debug/tracing/per_cpu which contain
each their own trace_pipe and trace files.

/debug/tracing$ ls -R per_cpu
per_cpu:
cpu0 cpu1
per_cpu/cpu0:

Now that several per-cpu files can be read or spliced at the
same, we want the read/splice callbacks for tracing files to be
reentrants.
Until now, a single global mutex (trace_types_lock) serialized
the access to tracing_read_pipe(), tracing_splice_read_pipe(),
and the seq helpers.
Ie: it means that if a user tries to read trace_pipe0 and
trace_pipe1 at the same time, the access to the function
tracing_read_pipe() is contended and one reader must wait for
the other to finish its read call.
The trace_type_lock mutex is mostly here to serialize the access
to the global current tracer (current_trace), which can be
changed concurrently. Although the iter struct keeps a private
pointer to this tracer, its callbacks can be changed by another
function.
The method used here is to not keep anymore private reference to
the tracer inside the iterator but to make a copy of it inside
the iterator. Then it checks on subsequents read calls if the
tracer has changed. This is not costly because the current
tracer is not expected to be changed often, so we use a branch
prediction for that.
Moreover, we add a private mutex to the iterator (there is one
iterator per file descriptor) to serialize the accesses in case
of multiple consumers per file descriptor (which would be a
silly idea from the user). Note that this is not to protect the
ring buffer, since the ring buffer already serializes the
readers accesses. This is to prevent from traces weirdness in
case of concurrent consumers. But these mutexes can be dropped
anyway, that would not result in any crash. Just tell me what
you think about it.

Impact: split up tracing output per cpu
Currently, on the tracing debugfs directory, three files are
available to the user to let him extracting the trace output:
- trace is an iterator through the ring-buffer. It's a reader
but not a consumer It doesn't block when no more traces are
available.
- trace pretty similar to the former, except that it adds more
informations such as prempt count, irq flag, ...
- trace_pipe is a reader and a consumer, it will also block
waiting for traces if necessary (heh, yes it's a pipe).
The traces coming from different cpus are curretly mixed up
inside these files. Sometimes it messes up the informations,
sometimes it's useful, depending on what does the tracer
capture.
The tracing_cpumask file is useful to filter the output and
select only the traces captured a custom defined set of cpus.
But still it is not enough powerful to extract at the same time
one trace buffer per cpu.
So this patch creates a new directory: /debug/tracing/per_cpu/.
Inside this directory, you will now find one trace_pipe file and
one trace file per cpu.
Which means if you have two cpus, you will have:
trace0
trace1
trace_pipe0
trace_pipe1
And of course, reading these files will have the same effect
than with the usual tracing files, except that you will only see
the traces from the given cpu.
The original all-in-one cpu trace file are still available on
their original place.
Until now, only one consumer was allowed on trace_pipe to avoid
racy consuming on the ring-buffer. Now the approach changed a
bit, you can have only one consumer per cpu.
Which means you are allowed to read concurrently trace_pipe0 and
trace_pipe1 But you can't have two readers on trace_pipe0 or
trace_pipe1.
Following the same logic, if there is one reader on the common
trace_pipe, you can not have at the same time another reader on
trace_pipe0 or in trace_pipe1. Because in trace_pipe is already
a consumer in all cpu buffers in essence.

This fixes a race where a thread acquires the console while the
console is suspended, and the console is resumed before this
thread releases it. In this case, the secondary console
semaphore would be left locked, and the primary semaphore would
be released twice. This in turn would cause the console switch
on suspend or resume to hang forever.
Note that suspend_console does not actually lock the console
for clients that use acquire_console_sem, it only locks it for
clients that use try_acquire_console_sem. If we change
suspend_console to fully lock the console, then the kernel
may deadlock on suspend. One client of try_acquire_console_sem
is acquire_console_semaphore_for_printk, which uses it to
prevent printk from using the console while it is suspended.

Impact: fix to prevent hard lockup on self tests
If one of the tracers are broken and is constantly filling the ring
buffer while the test of the ring buffer is running, it will hang
the box. The reason is that the test is a consumer that will not
stop till the ring buffer is empty. But if the tracer is broken and
is constantly producing input to the buffer, this test will never
end. The result is a lockup of the box.
This happened when KALLSYMS was not defined and the dynamic ftrace
test constantly filled the ring buffer, because the filter failed
and all functions were being traced. Something was being called
that constantly filled the buffer.
