Tom Zanussi 860f9f6b02 tracing: Add usecs modifier for hist trigger timestamps
Appending .usecs onto a common_timestamp field will cause the
timestamp value to be in microseconds instead of the default
nanoseconds.  A typical latency histogram using usecs would look like
this:

   # echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs ...
   # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0 ...

This also adds an external trace_clock_in_ns() to trace.c for the
timestamp conversion.

Tom Zanussi 00b4145298 ring-buffer: Add interface for setting absolute time stamps
Define a new function, tracing_set_time_stamp_abs(), which can be used
to enable or disable the use of absolute timestamps rather than time
deltas for a trace array.

Only the interface is added here; a subsequent patch will add the
underlying implementation.

Greg Kroah-Hartman b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Mark Rutland 6aa7de0591 locking/atomics: COCCINELLE/treewide: Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() patterns to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()
Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.

For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
churn.

However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
coccinelle script:

----
// Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and
// WRITE_ONCE()

// $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch

Tom Zanussi 7e465baa80 tracing: Make traceprobe parsing code reusable
traceprobe_probes_write() and traceprobe_command() actually contain
nothing that ties them to kprobes - the code is generically useful for
similar types of parsing elsewhere, so separate it out and move it to
trace.c/trace.h.

Other than moving it, the only change is in naming:
traceprobe_probes_write() becomes trace_parse_run_command() and
traceprobe_command() becomes trace_run_command().

Steven Rostedt (VMware) 065e63f951 tracing: Only have rmmod clear buffers that its events were active in
Currently, when a module event is enabled, when that module is removed, it
clears all ring buffers. This is to prevent another module from being loaded
and having one of its trace event IDs from reusing a trace event ID of the
removed module. This could cause undesirable effects as the trace event of
the new module would be using its own processing algorithms to process raw
data of another event. To prevent this, when a module is loaded, if any of
its events have been used (signified by the WAS_ENABLED event call flag,
which is never cleared), all ring buffers are cleared, just in case any one
of them contains event data of the removed event.

The problem is, there's no reason to clear all ring buffers if only one (or
less than all of them) uses one of the events. Instead, only clear the ring
buffers that recorded the events of a module that is being removed.

To do this, instead of keeping the WAS_ENABLED flag with the trace event
call, move it to the per instance (per ring buffer) event file descriptor.
The event file descriptor maps each event to a separate ring buffer
instance. Then when the module is removed, only the ring buffers that
activated one of the module's events get cleared. The rest are not touched.

Joel Fernandes d914ba37d7 tracing: Add support for recording tgid of tasks
Inorder to support recording of tgid, the following changes are made:

* Introduce a new API (tracing_record_taskinfo) to additionally record the tgid
  along with the task's comm at the same time. This has has the benefit of not
  setting trace_cmdline_save before all the information for a task is saved.
* Add a new API tracing_record_taskinfo_sched_switch to record task information
  for 2 tasks at a time (previous and next) and use it from sched_switch probe.
* Preserve the old API (tracing_record_cmdline) and create it as a wrapper
  around the new one so that existing callers aren't affected.
* Reuse the existing sched_switch and sched_wakeup probes to record tgid
  information and add a new option 'record-tgid' to enable recording of tgid

When record-tgid option isn't enabled to being with, we take care to make sure
that there's isn't memory or runtime overhead.

Steven Rostedt (VMware) 8c08f0d5c6 ftrace: Have cached module filters be an active filter
When a module filter is added to set_ftrace_filter, if the module is not
loaded, it is cached. This should be considered an active filter, and
function tracing should be filtered by this. That is, if a cached module
filter is the only filter set, then no function tracing should be happening,
as all the functions available will be filtered out.

This makes sense, as the reason to add a cached module filter, is to trace
the module when you load it. There shouldn't be any other tracing happening
until then.

Steven Rostedt (VMware) 6e4443199e tracing/ftrace: Add a better way to pass data via the probe functions
With the redesign of the registration and execution of the function probes
(triggers), data can now be passed from the setup of the probe to the probe
callers that are specific to the trace_array it is on. Although, all probes
still only affect the toplevel trace array, this change will allow for
instances to have their own probes separated from other instances and the
top array.

That is, something like the stacktrace probe can be set to trace only in an
instance and not the toplevel trace array. This isn't implement yet, but
this change sets the ground work for the change.

When a probe callback is triggered (someone writes the probe format into
set_ftrace_filter), it calls register_ftrace_function_probe() passing in
init_data that will be used to initialize the probe. Then for every matching
function, register_ftrace_function_probe() will call the probe_ops->init()
function with the init data that was passed to it, as well as an address to
a place holder that is associated with the probe and the instance. The first
occurrence will have a NULL in the pointer. The init() function will then
initialize it. If other probes are added, or more functions are part of the
probe, the place holder will be passed to the init() function with the place
holder data that it was initialized to the last time.

Then this place_holder is passed to each of the other probe_ops functions,
where it can be used in the function callback. When the probe_ops free()
function is called, it can be called either with the rip of the function
that is being removed from the probe, or zero, indicating that there are no
more functions attached to the probe, and the place holder is about to be
freed. This gives the probe_ops a way to free the data it assigned to the
place holder if it was allocade during the first init call.

Steven Rostedt (VMware) 7b60f3d876 ftrace: Dynamically create the probe ftrace_ops for the trace_array
In order to eventually have each trace_array instance have its own unique
set of function probes (triggers), the trace array needs to hold the ops and
the filters for the probes.

This is the first step to accomplish this. Instead of having the private
data of the probe ops point to the trace_array, create a separate list that
the trace_array holds. There's only one private_data for a probe, we need
one per trace_array. The probe ftrace_ops will be dynamically created for
each instance, instead of being static.

Steven Rostedt (VMware) 04ec7bb642 tracing: Have the trace_array hold the list of registered func probes
Add a link list to the trace_array to hold func probes that are registered.
Currently, all function probes are the same for all instances as it was
before, that is, only the top level trace_array holds the function probes.
But this lays the ground work to have function probes be attached to
individual instances, and having the event trigger only affect events in the
given instance. But that work is still to be done.

New helper functions are added that are based on the ftrace_hash code.

Namhyung Kim d879d0b8c1 ftrace: Fix function pid filter on instances
When function tracer has a pid filter, it adds a probe to sched_switch
to track if current task can be ignored.  The probe checks the
ftrace_ignore_pid from current tr to filter tasks.  But it misses to
delete the probe when removing an instance so that it can cause a crash
due to the invalid tr pointer (use-after-free).

This is easily reproducible with the following:

  # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
  # mkdir instances/buggy
  # echo $$ > instances/buggy/set_ftrace_pid
  # rmdir instances/buggy

To fix it, use ftrace_clear_pids() to unregister the probe.  As
instance_rmdir() already updated ftrace codes, it can just free the
filter safely.

Where the '*spin*' functions should have looked like this:

          _raw_spin_lock() {
            preempt_count_add();
            do_raw_spin_lock();
          }
          update_rq_clock();

Instead, have the wakeup and irqsoff tracers ignore the functions that are
set by the set_graph_notrace like the function_graph tracer does. Move
the logic in the function_graph tracer into a header to allow wakeup and
irqsoff tracers to use it as well.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 52ffabe384 tracing: Make __buffer_unlock_commit() always_inline
The function __buffer_unlock_commit() is called in a few places outside of
trace.c. But for the most part, it should really be inlined, as it is in the
hot path of the trace_events. For the callers outside of trace.c, create a
new function trace_buffer_unlock_commit_nostack(), as the reason it was used
was to avoid the stack tracing that trace_buffer_unlock_commit() could do.

Steven Rostedt fa32e8557b tracing: Add new trace_marker_raw
A new file is created:

 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_marker_raw

This allows for appications to create data structures and write the binary
data directly into it, and then read the trace data out from trace_pipe_raw
into the same type of data structure. This saves on converting numbers into
ASCII that would be required by trace_marker.

Masami Hiramatsu 60f1d5e3ba ftrace: Support full glob matching
Use glob_match() to support flexible glob wildcards (*,?)
and character classes ([) for ftrace.
Since the full glob matching is slower than the current
partial matching routines(*pat, pat*, *pat*), this leaves
those routines and just add MATCH_GLOB for complex glob
expression.

e.g.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) f971cc9aab tracing: Have max_latency be defined for HWLAT_TRACER as well
The hwlat tracer uses tr->max_latency, and if it's the only tracer enabled
that uses it, the build will fail. Add max_latency and its file when the
hwlat tracer is enabled.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) e7c15cd8a1 tracing: Added hardware latency tracer
The hardware latency tracer has been in the PREEMPT_RT patch for some time.
It is used to detect possible SMIs or any other hardware interruptions that
the kernel is unaware of. Note, NMIs may also be detected, but that may be
good to note as well.

The logic is pretty simple. It simply creates a thread that spins on a
single CPU for a specified amount of time (width) within a periodic window
(window). These numbers may be adjusted by their cooresponding names in

   /sys/kernel/tracing/hwlat_detector/

The defaults are window = 1000000 us (1 second)
                 width  =  500000 us (1/2 second)

The loop consists of:

	t1 = trace_clock_local();
	t2 = trace_clock_local();

Where trace_clock_local() is a variant of sched_clock().

The difference of t2 - t1 is recorded as the "inner" timestamp and also the
timestamp  t1 - prev_t2 is recorded as the "outer" timestamp. If either of
these differences are greater than the time denoted in
/sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_thresh then it records the event.

When this tracer is started, and tracing_thresh is zero, it changes to the
default threshold of 10 us.

The hwlat tracer in the PREEMPT_RT patch was originally written by
Jon Masters. I have modified it quite a bit and turned it into a
tracer.

Namhyung Kim a4a551b8f1 ftrace: Reduce size of function graph entries
Currently ftrace_graph_ent{,_entry} and ftrace_graph_ret{,_entry} struct
can have padding bytes at the end due to alignment in 64-bit data type.
As these data are recorded so frequently, those paddings waste
non-negligible space.  As the ring buffer maintains alignment properly
for each architecture, just to remove the extra padding using 'packed'
attribute.

  ftrace_graph_ent_entry:  24 -> 20
  ftrace_graph_ret_entry:  48 -> 44

Also I moved the 'overrun' field in struct ftrace_graph_ret to minimize
the padding in the middle.

Tested on x86_64 only.
