rarely ever hit, and requires the user to do something that users rarely
do. It took a few special test cases to even trigger this bug,
and one of them was just one test in the process of finishing up as another
one started.
Both bugs have to do with the ring buffer iterator rb_iter_peek(), but one
is more indirect than the other.
The fist bug fix is simply an increase in the safety net loop counter.
The counter makes sure that the rb_iter_peek() only iterates the number
of times we expect it can, and no more. Well, there was one way it could
iterate one more than we expected, and that caused the ring buffer
to shutdown with a nasty warning. The fix was simply to up that counter by
one.
The other bug has to be with rb_iter_reset() (called by rb_iter_peek()).
This happens when a user reads both the trace_pipe and trace files.
The trace_pipe is a consuming read and does not use the ring buffer
iterator, but the trace file is not a consuming read and does use the
ring buffer iterator. When the trace file is being read, if it detects
that a consuming read occurred, it resets the iterator and starts over.
But the reset code that does this (rb_iter_reset()), checks if the
reader_page is linked to the ring buffer or not, and will look into
the ring buffer itself if it is not. This is wrong, as it should always
try to read the reader page first. Not to mention, the code that looked
into the ring buffer did it wrong, and used the header_page "read" offset
to start reading on that page. That offset is bogus for pages in the
writable ring buffer, and was corrupting the iterator, and it would start
returning bogus events.

ring-buffer: Always reset iterator to reader page
ring-buffer: Up rb_iter_peek() loop count to 3
When performing a consuming read, the ring buffer swaps out a
page from the ring buffer with a empty page and this page that
was swapped out becomes the new reader page. The reader page
is owned by the reader and since it was swapped out of the ring
buffer, writers do not have access to it (there's an exception
to that rule, but it's out of scope for this commit).
When reading the "trace" file, it is a non consuming read, which
means that the data in the ring buffer will not be modified.
When the trace file is opened, a ring buffer iterator is allocated
and writes to the ring buffer are disabled, such that the iterator
will not have issues iterating over the data.
Although the ring buffer disabled writes, it does not disable other
reads, or even consuming reads. If a consuming read happens, then
the iterator is reset and starts reading from the beginning again.

Which was the __trace_find_cmdline() function complaining about the pid
in the event record being negative.
After adding more test cases, this would trigger more often. Strangely
enough, it would never trigger on a single test, but instead would trigger
only when running all the tests. I believe that was the case because it
required one of the tests to be shutting down via delayed instances while
a new test started up.
After spending several days debugging this, I found that it was caused by
the iterator becoming corrupted. Debugging further, I found out why
the iterator became corrupted. It happened with the rb_iter_reset().
As consuming reads may not read the full reader page, and only part
of it, there's a "read" field to know where the last read took place.
The iterator, must also start at the read position. In the rb_iter_reset()
code, if the reader page was disconnected from the ring buffer, the iterator
would start at the head page within the ring buffer (where writes still
happen). But the mistake there was that it still used the "read" field
to start the iterator on the head page, where it should always start
at zero because readers never read from within the ring buffer where
writes occur.
I originally wrote a patch to have it set the iter->head to 0 instead
of iter->head_page->read, but then I questioned why it wasn't always
setting the iter to point to the reader page, as the reader page is
still valid. The list_empty(reader_page->list) just means that it was
successful in swapping out. But the reader_page may still have data.
There was a bug report a long time ago that was not reproducible that
had something about trace_pipe (consuming read) not matching trace
(iterator read). This may explain why that happened.
Anyway, the correct answer to this bug is to always use the reader page
an not reset the iterator to inside the writable ring buffer.

Debugging this bug, which triggers when the rb_iter_peek() loops too
many times (more than 2 times), I discovered there's a case that can
cause that function to legitimately loop 3 times!
rb_iter_peek() is different than rb_buffer_peek() as the rb_buffer_peek()
only deals with the reader page (it's for consuming reads). The
rb_iter_peek() is for traversing the buffer without consuming it, and as
such, it can loop for one more reason. That is, if we hit the end of
the reader page or any page, it will go to the next page and try again.
That is, we have this:
1. iter->head > iter->head_page->page->commit
(rb_inc_iter() which moves the iter to the next page)
try again
2. event = rb_iter_head_event()
event->type_len == RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTEND
rb_advance_iter()
try again
3. read the event.
But we never get to 3, because the count is greater than 2 and we
cause the WARNING and return NULL.
Up the counter to 3.

"A rather large update of timers, timekeeping & co
- Core timekeeping code is year-2038 safe now for 32bit machines.
Now we just need to fix all in kernel users and the gazillion of
user space interfaces which rely on timespec/timeval :)
- Better cache layout for the timekeeping internal data structures.
- Proper nanosecond based interfaces for in kernel users.
- Tree wide cleanup of code which wants nanoseconds but does hoops
and loops to convert back and forth from timespecs. Some of it
definitely belongs into the ugly code museum.
- Consolidation of the timekeeping interface zoo.
- A fast NMI safe accessor to clock monotonic for tracing. This is a
long standing request to support correlated user/kernel space
traces. With proper NTP frequency correction it's also suitable
for correlation of traces accross separate machines.
- Checkpoint/restart support for timerfd.
- A few NOHZ[_FULL] improvements in the [hr]timer code.
- Code move from kernel to kernel/time of all time* related code.
- New clocksource/event drivers from the ARM universe. I'm really
impressed that despite an architected timer in the newer chips SoC
manufacturers insist on inventing new and differently broken SoC
specific timers.
[ Ed. "Impressed"? I don't think that word means what you think it means ]
- Another round of code move from arch to drivers. Looks like most
of the legacy mess in ARM regarding timers is sorted out except for
a few obnoxious strongholds.
- The usual updates and fixlets all over the place"

There's no need to check cloned event's permission once the
parent was already checked.
Also the code is checking 'current' process permissions, which
is not owner process for cloned events, thus could end up with
wrong permission check result.

In the loop of ftrace_save_ops_tramp_hash(), it adds all the recs
to the ops hash if the rec has only one callback attached and the
ops is connected to the rec. It gives a nasty warning and shuts down
ftrace if the rec doesn't have a trampoline set for it. But this
can happen with the following scenario:
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
# echo schedule do_IRQ > set_ftrace_filter
# mkdir instances/foo
# echo schedule > instances/foo/set_ftrace_filter
# echo function_graph > current_function
# echo function > instances/foo/current_function
# echo nop > instances/foo/current_function
The above would then trigger the following warning and disable
ftrace:

The "uptime" trace clock added in:
commit 8aacf017b0
tracing: Add "uptime" trace clock that uses jiffies
has wraparound problems when the system has been up more
than 1 hour 11 minutes and 34 seconds. It converts jiffies
to nanoseconds using:
(u64)jiffies_to_usecs(jiffy) * 1000ULL
but since jiffies_to_usecs() only returns a 32-bit value, it
truncates at 2^32 microseconds. An additional problem on 32-bit
systems is that the argument is "unsigned long", so fixing the
return value only helps until 2^32 jiffies (49.7 days on a HZ=1000
system).
Avoid these problems by using jiffies_64 as our basis, and
not converting to nanoseconds (we do convert to clock_t because
user facing API must not be dependent on internal kernel
HZ values).

ftrace_stop() is going away as it disables parts of function tracing
that affects users that should not be affected. But ftrace_graph_stop()
is built on ftrace_stop(). Here's another example of killing all of
function tracing because something went wrong with function graph
tracing.
Instead of disabling all users of function tracing on function graph
error, disable only function graph tracing.
A new function is created called ftrace_graph_is_dead(). This is called
in strategic paths to prevent function graph from doing more harm and
allowing at least a warning to be printed before the system crashes.
NOTE: ftrace_stop() is still used until all the archs are converted over
to use ftrace_graph_is_dead(). After that, ftrace_stop() will be removed.

Currently if an arch supports function graph tracing, the core code will
just assign the function graph trampoline to the function graph addr that
gets called.
But as the old method for function graph tracing always calls the function
trampoline first and that calls the function graph trampoline, some
archs may have the function graph trampoline dependent on operations that
were done in the function trampoline. This causes function graph tracer
to break on those archs.
Instead of having the default be to set the function graph ftrace_ops
to the function graph trampoline, have it instead just set it to zero
which will keep it from jumping to a trampoline that is not set up
to be jumped directly too.

ring_buffer_poll_wait() should always put the poll_table to its wait_queue
even there is immediate data available. Otherwise, the following epoll and
read sequence will eventually hang forever:
1. Put some data to make the trace_pipe ring_buffer read ready first
2. epoll_ctl(efd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, trace_pipe_fd, ee)
3. epoll_wait()
4. read(trace_pipe_fd) till EAGAIN
5. Add some more data to the trace_pipe ring_buffer
6. epoll_wait() -> this epoll_wait() will block forever
~ During the epoll_ctl(efd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD,...) call in step 2,
ring_buffer_poll_wait() returns immediately without adding poll_table,
which has poll_table->_qproc pointing to ep_poll_callback(), to its
wait_queue.
~ During the epoll_wait() call in step 3 and step 6,
ring_buffer_poll_wait() cannot add ep_poll_callback() to its wait_queue
because the poll_table->_qproc is NULL and it is how epoll works.
~ When there is new data available in step 6, ring_buffer does not know
it has to call ep_poll_callback() because it is not in its wait queue.
Hence, block forever.
Other poll implementation seems to call poll_wait() unconditionally as the very
first thing to do. For example, tcp_poll() in tcp.c.

Running my ftrace tests on PowerPC, it failed the test that checks
if function_graph tracer is affected by the stack tracer. It was.
Looking into this, I found that the update_function_graph_func()
must be called even if the trampoline function is not changed.
This is because archs like PowerPC do not support ftrace_ops being
passed by assembly and instead uses a helper function (what the
trampoline function points to). Since this function is not changed
even when multiple ftrace_ops are added to the code, the test that
falls out before calling update_function_graph_func() will miss that
the update must still be done.

it is passed in. This is not very robust and if trace_seq_putmem_hex() ever
