As new functions come in to be initalized from mcount to nop,
they are done by groups of pages. Whether it is the core kernel
or a module. There's no need to keep track of these on a per record
basis.
At startup, and as any module is loaded, the functions to be
traced are stored in a group of pages and added to the function
list at the end. We just need to keep a pointer to the first
page of the list that was added, and use that to know where to
start on the list for initializing functions.

Allocate the mcount record pages as a group of pages as big
as can be allocated and waste no more than a single page.
Grouping the mcount pages as much as possible helps with cache
locality, as we do not need to redirect with descriptors as we
cross from page to page. It also allows us to do more with the
records later on (sort them with bigger benefits).

Records that are added to the function trace table are
permanently there, except for modules. By separating out the
modules to their own pages that can be freed in one shot
we can remove the "freed" flag and simplify some of the record
management.
Another benefit of doing this is that we can also move the
records around; sort them.

The stop machine method to modify all functions in the kernel
(some 20,000 of them) is the safest way to do so across all archs.
But some archs may not need this big hammer approach to modify code
on SMP machines, and can simply just update the code it needs.
Adding a weak function arch_ftrace_update_code() that now does the
stop machine, will also let any arch override this method.
If the arch needs to check the system and then decide if it can
avoid stop machine, it can still call ftrace_run_stop_machine() to
use the old method.

Multiple users of the function tracer can register their functions
with the ftrace_ops structure. The accounting within ftrace will
update the counter on each function record that is being traced.
When the ftrace_ops filtering adds or removes functions, the
function records will be updated accordingly if the ftrace_ops is
still registered.
When a ftrace_ops is removed, the counter of the function records,
that the ftrace_ops traces, are decremented. When they reach zero
the functions that they represent are modified to stop calling the
mcount code.
When changes are made, the code is updated via stop_machine() with
a command passed to the function to tell it what to do. There is an
ENABLE and DISABLE command that tells the called function to enable
or disable the functions. But the ENABLE is really a misnomer as it
should just update the records, as records that have been enabled
and now have a count of zero should be disabled.
The DISABLE command is used to disable all functions regardless of
their counter values. This is the big off switch and is not the
complement of the ENABLE command.
To make matters worse, when a ftrace_ops is unregistered and there
is another ftrace_ops registered, neither the DISABLE nor the
ENABLE command are set when calling into the stop_machine() function
and the records will not be updated to match their counter. A command
is passed to that function that will update the mcount code to call
the registered callback directly if it is the only one left. This
means that the ftrace_ops that is still registered will have its callback
called by all functions that have been set for it as well as the ftrace_ops
that was just unregistered.
Here's a way to trigger this bug. Compile the kernel with
CONFIG_FUNCTION_PROFILER set and with CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH not set:
CONFIG_FUNCTION_PROFILER=y
# CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH is not set
This will force the function profiler to use the function tracer instead
of the function graph tracer.

The same problem could have happened with the trace_probe_ops,
but they are modified with the set_frace_filter file which does the
update at closure of the file.
The simple solution is to change ENABLE to UPDATE and call it every
time an ftrace_ops is unregistered.

1) No functions will be enabled for tracing when they all should be
2) If the users clears the set_ftrace_filter twice, it will crash ftrace:

As the function tracer is very intrusive, lots of self checks are
performed on the tracer and if something is found to be strange
it will shut itself down keeping it from corrupting the rest of the
kernel. This shutdown may still allow functions to be traced, as the
tracing only stops new modifications from happening. Trying to stop
the function tracer itself can cause more harm as it requires code
modification.
Although a WARN_ON() is executed, a user may not notice it. To help
the user see that something isn't right with the tracing of the system
a big warning is added to the output of the tracer that lets the user
know that their data may be incomplete.

Enabling function tracer to trace all functions, then load a module and
then disable function tracing will cause ftrace to fail.
This can also happen by enabling function tracing on the command line:
ftrace=function
and during boot up, modules are loaded, then you disable function tracing
with 'echo nop > current_tracer' you will trigger a bug in ftrace that
will shut itself down.
The reason is, the new ftrace code keeps ref counts of all ftrace_ops that
are registered for tracing. When one or more ftrace_ops are registered,
all the records that represent the functions that the ftrace_ops will
trace have a ref count incremented. If this ref count is not zero,
when the code modification runs, that function will be enabled for tracing.
If the ref count is zero, that function will be disabled from tracing.
To make sure the accounting was working, FTRACE_WARN_ON()s were added
to updating of the ref counts.
If the ref count hits its max (> 2^30 ftrace_ops added), or if
the ref count goes below zero, a FTRACE_WARN_ON() is triggered which
disables all modification of code.
Since it is common for ftrace_ops to trace all functions in the kernel,
instead of creating > 20,000 hash items for the ftrace_ops, the hash
count is just set to zero, and it represents that the ftrace_ops is
to trace all functions. This is where the issues arrise.
If you enable function tracing to trace all functions, and then add
a module, the modules function records do not get the ref count updated.
When the function tracer is disabled, all function records ref counts
are subtracted. Since the modules never had their ref counts incremented,
they go below zero and the FTRACE_WARN_ON() is triggered.
The solution to this is rather simple. When modules are loaded, and
their functions are added to the the ftrace pool, look to see if any
ftrace_ops are registered that trace all functions. And for those,
update the ref count for the module function records.

Archs that do not implement CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST, will
fail the dynamic ftrace selftest.
The function tracer has a quick 'off' variable that will prevent
the call back functions from being called. This variable is called
function_trace_stop. In x86, this is implemented directly in the mcount
assembly, but for other archs, an intermediate function is used called
ftrace_test_stop_func().
In dynamic ftrace, the function pointer variable ftrace_trace_function is
used to update the caller code in the mcount caller. But for archs that
do not have CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST set, it only calls
ftrace_test_stop_func() instead, which in turn calls __ftrace_trace_function.
When more than one ftrace_ops is registered, the function it calls is
ftrace_ops_list_func(), which will iterate over all registered ftrace_ops
and call the callbacks that have their hash matching.
The issue happens when two ftrace_ops are registered for different functions
and one is then unregistered. The __ftrace_trace_function is then pointed
to the remaining ftrace_ops callback function directly. This mean it will
be called for all functions that were registered to trace by both ftrace_ops
that were registered.
This is not an issue for archs with CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST,
because the update of ftrace_trace_function doesn't happen until after all
functions have been updated, and then the mcount caller is updated. But
for those archs that do use the ftrace_test_stop_func(), the update is
immediate.
The dynamic selftest fails because it hits this situation, and the
ftrace_ops that it registers fails to only trace what it was suppose to
and instead traces all other functions.
The solution is to delay the setting of __ftrace_trace_function until
after all the functions have been updated according to the registered
ftrace_ops. Also, function_trace_stop is set during the update to prevent
function tracing from calling code that is caused by the function tracer
itself.

Whenever the hash of the ftrace_ops is updated, the record counts
must be balance. This requires disabling the records that are set
in the original hash, and then enabling the records that are set
in the updated hash.
Moving the update into ftrace_hash_move() removes the bug where the
hash was updated but the records were not, which results in ftrace
triggering a warning and disabling itself because the ftrace_ops filter
is updated while the ftrace_ops was registered, and then the failure
happens when the ftrace_ops is unregistered.
The current code will not trigger this bug, but new code will.

Witold reported a reboot caused by the selftests of the dynamic function
tracer. He sent me a config and I used ktest to do a config_bisect on it
(as my config did not cause the crash). It pointed out that the problem
config was CONFIG_PROVE_RCU.
What happened was that if multiple callbacks are attached to the
function tracer, we iterate a list of callbacks. Because the list is
managed by synchronize_sched() and preempt_disable, the access to the
pointers uses rcu_dereference_raw().
When PROVE_RCU is enabled, the rcu_dereference_raw() calls some
debugging functions, which happen to be traced. The tracing of the debug
function would then call rcu_dereference_raw() which would then call the
debug function and then... well you get the idea.
I first wrote two different patches to solve this bug.
1) add a __rcu_dereference_raw() that would not do any checks.
2) add notrace to the offending debug functions.
Both of these patches worked.
Talking with Paul McKenney on IRC, he suggested to add recursion
detection instead. This seemed to be a better solution, so I decided to
implement it. As the task_struct already has a trace_recursion to detect
recursion in the ring buffer, and that has a very small number it
allows, I decided to use that same variable to add flags that can detect
the recursion inside the infrastructure of the function tracer.
I plan to change it so that the task struct bit can be checked in
mcount, but as that requires changes to all archs, I will hold that off
to the next merge window.

Now that functions may be selected individually, it only makes sense
that we should allow dynamically allocated trace structures to
be traced. This will allow perf to allocate a ftrace_ops structure
at runtime and use it to pick and choose which functions that
structure will trace.
Note, a dynamically allocated ftrace_ops will always be called
indirectly instead of being called directly from the mcount in
entry.S. This is because there's no safe way to prevent mcount
from being preempted before calling the function, unless we
modify every entry.S to do so (not likely). Thus, dynamically allocated
functions will now be called by the ftrace_ops_list_func() that
loops through the ops that are allocated if there are more than
one op allocated at a time. This loop is protected with a
preempt_disable.
To determine if an ftrace_ops structure is allocated or not, a new
util function was added to the kernel/extable.c called
core_kernel_data(), which returns 1 if the address is between
_sdata and _edata.

Add the enabled_functions file that is used to show all the

Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Every function has its own record that stores the instruction
pointer and flags for the function to be traced. There are only
two flags: enabled and free. The enabled flag states that tracing
for the function has been enabled (actively traced), and the free
flag states that the record no longer points to a function and can
be used by new functions (loaded modules).
These flags are now moved to the MSB of the flags (actually just
the top 32bits). The rest of the bits (30 bits) are now used as
a ref counter. Everytime a tracer register functions to trace,
those functions will have its counter incremented.
When tracing is enabled, to determine if a function should be traced,
the counter is examined, and if it is non-zero it is set to trace.
When a ftrace_ops is registered to trace functions, its hashes
are examined. If the ftrace_ops filter_hash count is zero, then
all functions are set to be traced, otherwise only the functions
in the hash are to be traced. The exception to this is if a function
is also in the ftrace_ops notrace_hash. Then that function's counter
is not incremented for this ftrace_ops.

When filtering, allocate a hash to insert the function records.
After the filtering is complete, assign it to the ftrace_ops structure.
This allows the ftrace_ops structure to have a much smaller array of
hash buckets instead of wasting a lot of memory.
A read only empty_hash is created to be the minimum size that any ftrace_ops
can point to.
When a new hash is created, it has the following steps:
o Allocate a default hash.
o Walk the function records assigning the filtered records to the hash
o Allocate a new hash with the appropriate size buckets
o Move the entries from the default hash to the new hash.

The failures file in the debugfs tracing directory would list the
functions that failed to convert when the old dead ftrace daemon
tried to update code but failed. Since this code is now dead along
with the daemon the failures file is useless. Remove it.

The disabling of interrupts around ftrace_update_code() was used
to protect against the evil ftrace daemon from years past. But that
daemon has long been killed. It is safe to keep interrupts enabled
while updating the initial mcount into nops.
The ftrace_mutex is also held which keeps other users at bay.

Let FTRACE_WARN_ON() be used as a stand alone statement or
inside a conditional: if (FTRACE_WARN_ON(x))

If function tracing is enabled, a read of the filter files will
cause the call to stop_machine to update the function trace sites.
It should only call stop_machine on write.

If one or more function probes (like traceon) are enabled,
and there's no other function filter, the first probe
func is skipped (which one depends on the position in the hash).
$ echo sys_open:traceon sys_close:traceon > ./set_ftrace_filter
$ cat set_ftrace_filter
#### all functions enabled ####
sys_close:traceon:unlimited
$
The reason was, that in the case of no other function filter,
the func_pos was not properly updated before calling t_hash_start.
