Expose the NMI safe accessor to the monotonic raw clock to the
tracer. The mono clock was added with commit
1b3e5c0936. The advantage of the
monotonic raw clock is that it will advance more constantly than the
monotonic clock.
Imagine someone is trying to optimize a particular program to reduce
instructions executed for a given workload while minimizing the effect
on runtime. Also suppose that NTP is running and potentially making
larger adjustments to the monotonic clock. If NTP is adjusting the
monotonic clock to advance more rapidly, the program will appear to
use fewer instructions per second but run longer than if the monotonic
raw clock had been used. The total number of instructions observed
would be the same regardless of the clock source used, but how it's
attributed to time would be affected.
Conversely if NTP is adjusting the monotonic clock to advance more
slowly, the program will appear to use more instructions per second
but run more quickly. Of course there are many sources that can cause
jitter in performance measurements on modern processors, but let's
remove NTP from the list.
The monotonic raw clock can also be useful for tracing early boot,
e.g. when debugging issues with NTP.

of the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro that can be used by tracepoints.
Tracepoints have helper functions for the TP_printk() called
__print_symbolic() and __print_flags() that lets a numeric number be
displayed as a a human comprehensible text. What is placed in the
TP_printk() is also shown in the tracepoint format file such that
user space tools like perf and trace-cmd can parse the binary data
and express the values too. Unfortunately, the way the TRACE_EVENT()
macro works, anything placed in the TP_printk() will be shown pretty
much exactly as is. The problem arises when enums are used. That's
because unlike macros, enums will not be changed into their values
by the C pre-processor. Thus, the enum string is exported to the
format file, and this makes it useless for user space tools.
The TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() solves this by converting the enum strings
in the TP_printk() format into their number, and that is what is
shown to user space. For example, the tracepoint tlb_flush currently
has this in its format file:
__print_symbolic(REC->reason,
{ TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH, "flush on task switch" },
{ TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN, "remote shootdown" },
{ TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN, "local shootdown" },
{ TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN, "local mm shootdown" })

TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN);

{ 0, "flush on task switch" },

That was that perf hard coded the file system number when reading
/sys/kernel/debugfs/tracing directory making sure that the path had
the debugfs mount # before it would parse the tracing file. This broke
other use cases of perf, and the check is removed.
Now when mounting /sys/kernel/debug, tracefs is automatically mounted

path as expected. But now system admins can mount tracefs directly
and not need to mount debugfs, which can expose security issues.
A new directory is created when tracefs is configured such that

Several tracepoints use the helper functions __print_symbolic() or
__print_flags() and pass in enums that do the mapping between the
binary data stored and the value to print. This works well for reading
the ASCII trace files, but when the data is read via userspace tools
such as perf and trace-cmd, the conversion of the binary value to a
human string format is lost if an enum is used, as userspace does not
have access to what the ENUM is.
For example, the tracepoint trace_tlb_flush() has:
__print_symbolic(REC->reason,
{ TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH, "flush on task switch" },
{ TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN, "remote shootdown" },
{ TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN, "local shootdown" },
{ TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN, "local mm shootdown" })
Which maps the enum values to the strings they represent. But perf and
trace-cmd do no know what value TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN is, and would
not be able to map it.
With TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(), developers can place these in the event header
files and ftrace will convert the enums to their values:
By adding:
TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH);
TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN);
TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN);
TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN);
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tlb/tlb_flush/format
[...]
__print_symbolic(REC->reason,
{ 0, "flush on task switch" },
{ 1, "remote shootdown" },
{ 2, "local shootdown" },
{ 3, "local mm shootdown" })
The above is what userspace expects to see, and tools do not need to
be modified to parse them.

The tracing "instances" directory can create sub tracing buffers
with mkdir, and remove them with rmdir. As a mkdir will also create
all the files and directories that control the sub buffer the inode
mutexes need to be released before this is done, to avoid deadlocks.
It is better to let the tracing system unlock the inode mutexes before
calling the functions that create the files within the new directory
(or deletes the files from the one being destroyed).
Now that tracing has been converted over to tracefs, the tracefs file
system can be modified to accommodate this feature. It still releases
the locks, but the filesystem itself can take care of the ugly
business and let the user just do what it needs.
The tracing system now attaches a descriptor to the directory dentry
that can have userspace create or remove sub directories. If this
descriptor does not exist for a dentry, then that dentry can not be
used to create other directories. This descriptor holds a mkdir and
rmdir method that only takes a character string as an argument.
The tracefs file system will first make a copy of the dentry name
before releasing the locks. Then it will pass the copied name to the
methods. It is up to the tracing system that supplied the methods to
handle races with duplicate names and such as all the inode mutexes
would be released when the functions are called.

As tools currently rely on the tracing directory in debugfs, we can not
just created a tracefs infrastructure and expect sysadmins to mount
the new tracefs to have their old tools work.
Instead, the debugfs tracing directory is still created and the tracefs
file system is mounted there when the debugfs filesystem is mounted.
No longer does the tracing infrastructure update the debugfs file system,
but instead interacts with the tracefs file system. But now, it still
appears to the user like nothing changed, except you also have the feature
of mounting just the tracing system without needing all of debugfs!

debugfs was fine for the tracing facility as a quick way to get
an interface. Now that tracing has matured, it should separate itself
from debugfs such that it can be mounted separately without needing
to mount all of debugfs with it. That is, users resist using tracing
because it requires mounting debugfs. Having tracing have its own file
system lets users get the features of tracing without needing to bring
in the rest of the kernel's debug infrastructure.
Another reason for tracefs is that debubfs does not support mkdir.
Currently, to create instances, one does a mkdir in the tracing/instance
directory. This is implemented via a hack that forces debugfs to do
something it is not intended on doing. By converting over to tracefs, this
hack can be removed and mkdir can be properly implemented. This patch does
not address this yet, but it lays the ground work for that to be done.

Pull in Al Viro's changes to debugfs that implement the new primitive:
debugfs_create_automount(), that creates a directory in debugfs that will
safely mount another file system automatically when debugfs is mounted.
This will let tracefs automount itself on top of debugfs/tracing directory.
The top level trace array is treated a little different than the
instances, as it has to deal with more of the general tracing.
The tr->dir is the tracing directory, which is an immutable
dentry, where as the tr->dir of instances are the dentry that
was created, and can be destroyed later. These should have different
functions accessing them.
As only tracing_init_dentry() deals with the top level array, fold
the code for it into that function, and remove the trace_init_dentry_tr()
that was also used by the instances to get their directory dentry.
Add a tracing_get_dentry() to just get the tracing dir entry for
instances as well as the top level array.

trace_init() calls init_ftrace_syscalls() and then calls trace_event_init()
which also calls init_ftrace_syscalls(). It makes more sense to only

Calling it twice wastes memory, as it allocates the syscall events twice,
and loses the first copy of it.

Taking the global mutex "trace_types_lock" in the trace_pipe files
causes a bottle neck as most the pipe files can be read per cpu
and there's no reason to serialize them.
The current_trace variable was given a ref count and it can not

files will up the ref count (and decremented on close), so that

current_trace variable.

When one of the trace pipe files are being read (by either the trace_pipe
or trace_pipe_raw), do not allow the current_trace to change. By adding
a ref count that is incremented when the pipe files are opened, will
prevent the current_trace from being changed.
This will allow for the removal of the global trace_types_lock from
reading the pipe buffers (which is currently a bottle neck).

as I thought it might be. I'm pushing this in now.
This will allow Thomas to debug his irq work for 3.20.
This adds two new features:
1) Allow traceopoints to be enabled right after mm_init(). By passing
in the trace_event= kernel command line parameter, tracepoints can be
enabled at boot up. For debugging things like the initialization of
interrupts, it is needed to have tracepoints enabled very early. People
have asked about this before and this has been on my todo list. As it
can be helpful for Thomas to debug his upcoming 3.20 IRQ work, I'm
pushing this now. This way he can add tracepoints into the IRQ set up
and have users enable them when things go wrong.
2) Have the tracepoints printed via printk() (the console) when they
are triggered. If the irq code locks up or reboots the box, having the
tracepoint output go into the kernel ring buffer is useless for
debugging. But being able to add the tp_printk kernel command line
option along with the trace_event= option will have these tracepoints
printed as they occur, and that can be really useful for debugging
early lock up or reboot problems.
This code is not that intrusive and it passed all my tests. Thomas tried
them out too and it works for his needs.

tracing: Add tp_printk cmdline to have tracepoints go to printk()
tracing: Move enabling tracepoints to just after rcu_init()
Add the kernel command line tp_printk option that will have tracepoints
that are active sent to printk() as well as to the trace buffer.
Passing "tp_printk" will activate this. To turn it off, the sysctl
/proc/sys/kernel/tracepoint_printk can have '0' echoed into it. Note,
this only works if the cmdline option is used. Echoing 1 into the sysctl
file without the cmdline option will have no affect.
Note, this is a dangerous option. Having high frequency tracepoints send
their data to printk() can possibly cause a live lock. This is another
reason why this is only active if the command line option is used.

Enabling tracepoints at boot up can be very useful. The tracepoint
can be initialized right after RCU has been. There's no need to
wait for the early_initcall() to be called. That's too late for some
things that can use tracepoints for debugging. Move the logic to
enable tracepoints out of the initcalls and into init/main.c to
right after rcu_init().
This also allows trace_printk() to be used early too.

clean ups from that branch.
This code solves the issue of performing stack dumps from NMI context.
The issue is that printk() is not safe from NMI context as if the NMI
were to trigger when a printk() was being performed, the NMI could
deadlock from the printk() internal locks. This has been seen in practice.
With lots of review from Petr Mladek, this code went through several
iterations, and we feel that it is now at a point of quality to be
accepted into mainline.
Here's what is contained in this patch set:
o Creates a "seq_buf" generic buffer utility that allows a descriptor
to be passed around where functions can write their own "printk()"
formatted strings into it. The generic version was pulled out of
the trace_seq() code that was made specifically for tracing.
o The seq_buf code was change to model the seq_file code. I have
a patch (not included for 3.19) that converts the seq_file.c code
over to use seq_buf.c like the trace_seq.c code does. This was done
to make sure that seq_buf.c is compatible with seq_file.c. I may
try to get that patch in for 3.20.
o The seq_buf.c file was moved to lib/ to remove it from being dependent
on CONFIG_TRACING.
o The printk() was updated to allow for a per_cpu "override" of
the internal calls. That is, instead of writing to the console, a call
to printk() may do something else. This made it easier to allow the
NMI to change what printk() does in order to call dump_stack() without
needing to update that code as well.
o Finally, the dump_stack from all CPUs via NMI code was converted to
use the seq_buf code. The caller to trigger the NMI code would wait
till all the NMIs finished, and then it would print the seq_buf
data to the console safely from a non NMI context.

The initial reason for this patch is that I noticed that:
if (len > TRACE_BUF_SIZE)
is off by one. In this code, if len == TRACE_BUF_SIZE, then it means we
have truncated the last character off the output string. If we truncate
two or more characters then we exit without printing.
After some discussion, we decided that printing truncated data is better
than not printing at all so we should just use vscnprintf() and remove
the test entirely. Also I have updated memcpy() to copy the NUL char
instead of setting the NUL in a separate step.

As the seq_buf->len will soon be +1 size when there's an overflow, we
must use trace_seq_used() or seq_buf_used() methods to get the real
length. This will prevent buffer overflow issues if just the len
of the seq_buf descriptor is used to copy memory.

The function tracing_fill_pipe_page() logic is a little confusing with the
use of count saving the seq.len and reusing it.
Instead of subtracting a number that is calculated from the saved
value of the seq.len from seq.len, just save the seq.len at the start
and if we need to reset it, just assign it again.
When the seq_buf overflow is len == size + 1, the current logic will
break. Changing it to use a saved length for resetting back to the
original value is more robust and will work when we change the way
seq_buf sets the overflow.

Adding a trace_seq_has_overflowed() which returns true if the trace_seq
had too much written into it allows us to simplify the code.
Instead of checking the return value of every call to trace_seq_printf()
and friends, they can all be called normally, and at the end we can
return !trace_seq_has_overflowed() instead.
Several functions also return TRACE_TYPE_PARTIAL_LINE when the trace_seq
overflowed and TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED otherwise. Another helper function
was created called trace_handle_return() which takes a trace_seq and
returns these enums. Using this helper function also simplifies the
code.
This change also makes it possible to remove the return values of
trace_seq_printf() and friends. They should instead just be
void functions.

The problem is this: tracing_buffers_splice_read() calls
ring_buffer_wait() to wait for data in the ring buffers. The buffers
are not empty so ring_buffer_wait() returns immediately. But
tracing_buffers_splice_read() calls ring_buffer_read_page() with full=1,
meaning it only wants to read a full page. When the full page is not
available, tracing_buffers_splice_read() tries to wait again with
ring_buffer_wait(), which again returns immediately, and so on.
Fix this by adding a "full" argument to ring_buffer_wait() which will
make ring_buffer_wait() wait until the writer has left the reader's
page, i.e. until full-page reads will succeed.

"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"

to the ftrace function callback infrastructure. It's introducing a
way to allow different functions to call directly different trampolines
instead of all calling the same "mcount" one.
The only user of this for now is the function graph tracer, which always
had a different trampoline, but the function tracer trampoline was called
and did basically nothing, and then the function graph tracer trampoline
was called. The difference now, is that the function graph tracer
trampoline can be called directly if a function is only being traced by
the function graph trampoline. If function tracing is also happening on
the same function, the old way is still done.
The accounting for this takes up more memory when function graph tracing
is activated, as it needs to keep track of which functions it uses.
I have a new way that wont take as much memory, but it's not ready yet
for this merge window, and will have to wait for the next one.
Another big change was the removal of the ftrace_start/stop() calls that
were used by the suspend/resume code that stopped function tracing when
entering into suspend and resume paths. The stop of ftrace was done
because there was some function that would crash the system if one called
smp_processor_id()! The stop/start was a big hammer to solve the issue
at the time, which was when ftrace was first introduced into Linux.
Now ftrace has better infrastructure to debug such issues, and I found
the problem function and labeled it with "notrace" and function tracing
can now safely be activated all the way down into the guts of suspend
and resume.
Other changes include clean ups of uprobe code.
Clean up of the trace_seq() code.
And other various small fixes and clean ups to ftrace and tracing.
