Masami Hiramatsu (Google) b1ac5b885c ftrace: Fix DIRECT_CALLS to use SAVE_REGS by default
commit a8b9cf62ade1bf17261a979fc97e40c2d7842353 upstream.

The commit 60c8971899 ("ftrace: Make DIRECT_CALLS work WITH_ARGS
and !WITH_REGS") changed DIRECT_CALLS to use SAVE_ARGS when there
are multiple ftrace_ops at the same function, but since the x86 only
support to jump to direct_call from ftrace_regs_caller, when we set
the function tracer on the same target function on x86, ftrace-direct
does not work as below (this actually works on arm64.)

At first, insmod ftrace-direct.ko to put a direct_call on
'wake_up_process()'.

 # insmod kernel/samples/ftrace/ftrace-direct.ko
 # less trace
...
          <idle>-0       [006] ..s1.   564.686958: my_direct_func: waking up rcu_preempt-17
          <idle>-0       [007] ..s1.   564.687836: my_direct_func: waking up kcompactd0-63
          <idle>-0       [006] ..s1.   564.690926: my_direct_func: waking up rcu_preempt-17
          <idle>-0       [006] ..s1.   564.696872: my_direct_func: waking up rcu_preempt-17
          <idle>-0       [007] ..s1.   565.191982: my_direct_func: waking up kcompactd0-63

Setup a function filter to the 'wake_up_process' too, and enable it.

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
 # echo wake_up_process > set_ftrace_filter
 # echo function > current_tracer
 # less trace
...
          <idle>-0       [006] ..s3.   686.180972: wake_up_process <-call_timer_fn
          <idle>-0       [006] ..s3.   686.186919: wake_up_process <-call_timer_fn
          <idle>-0       [002] ..s3.   686.264049: wake_up_process <-call_timer_fn
          <idle>-0       [002] d.h6.   686.515216: wake_up_process <-kick_pool
          <idle>-0       [002] d.h6.   686.691386: wake_up_process <-kick_pool

Then, only function tracer is shown on x86.
But if you enable 'kprobe on ftrace' event (which uses SAVE_REGS flag)
on the same function, it is shown again.

 # echo 'p wake_up_process' >> dynamic_events
 # echo 1 > events/kprobes/p_wake_up_process_0/enable
 # echo > trace
 # less trace
...
          <idle>-0       [006] ..s2.  2710.345919: p_wake_up_process_0: (wake_up_process+0x4/0x20)
          <idle>-0       [006] ..s3.  2710.345923: wake_up_process <-call_timer_fn
          <idle>-0       [006] ..s1.  2710.345928: my_direct_func: waking up rcu_preempt-17
          <idle>-0       [006] ..s2.  2710.349931: p_wake_up_process_0: (wake_up_process+0x4/0x20)
          <idle>-0       [006] ..s3.  2710.349934: wake_up_process <-call_timer_fn
          <idle>-0       [006] ..s1.  2710.349937: my_direct_func: waking up rcu_preempt-17

To fix this issue, use SAVE_REGS flag for multiple ftrace_ops flag of
direct_call by default.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
