The tracing infrastructure sets up for possible CPUs, but it uses
the ring buffer polling, it is possible to call the ring buffer
polling code with a CPU that hasn't been allocated. This will cause
a kernel oops when it access a ring buffer cpu buffer that is part
of the possible cpus but hasn't been allocated yet as the CPU has never
been online.

If ftrace=<tracer> is on the kernel command line, when that tracer is
registered, it will be initiated by tracing_set_tracer() to execute that
tracer.
The nop tracer is just a stub tracer that is used to have no tracer
enabled. It is assigned at early bootup as it is the default tracer.
But if ftrace=nop is on the kernel command line, the registering of the
nop tracer will call tracing_set_tracer() which will try to execute
the nop tracer. But it expects tr->current_trace to be assigned something
as it usually is assigned to the nop tracer. As it hasn't been assigned
to anything yet, it causes the system to crash.
The simple fix is to move the tr->current_trace = nop before registering
the nop tracer. The functionality is still the same as the nop tracer
doesn't do anything anyway.

Since try_module_get() returns false( = 0) when it fails to
pindown a module, event_enable_func() returns 0 which means
"succeed". This can cause a kernel panic when the entry
is removed, because the event is already released.
This fixes the bug by returning -EBUSY, because the reason
why it fails is that the module is being removed at that time.

The enabled_functions debugfs file was created to be able to see
what functions have been modified from nops to calling a tracer.
The current method uses the counter in the function record.
As when a ftrace_ops is registered to a function, its count
increases. But that doesn't mean that the function is actively
being traced. /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled can be set to zero
which would disable it, as well as something can go wrong and
we can think its enabled when only the counter is set.
The record's FTRACE_FL_ENABLED flag is set or cleared when its
function is modified. That is a much more accurate way of knowing
what function is enabled or not.

Instead of having duplicate code between the two functions, add

Modify soft-mode flag only if no other soft-mode referrer
(currently only the ftrace triggers) by using a reference
counter in each ftrace_event_file.
Without this fix, adding and removing several different
enable/disable_event triggers on the same event clear
soft-mode bit from the ftrace_event_file. This also
happens with a typo of glob on setting triggers.
e.g.
# echo vfs_symlink:enable_event:net:netif_rx > set_ftrace_filter
# cat events/net/netif_rx/enable
0*
# echo typo_func:enable_event:net:netif_rx > set_ftrace_filter
# cat events/net/netif_rx/enable
0
# cat set_ftrace_filter
#### all functions enabled ####
vfs_symlink:enable_event:net:netif_rx:unlimited
As above, we still have a trigger, but soft-mode is gone.

Cleanup regex_lock and ftrace_lock locking points around
ftrace_ops hash update code.
The new rule is that regex_lock protects ops->*_hash
read-update-write code for each ftrace_ops. Usually,
hash update is done by following sequence.
1. allocate a new local hash and copy the original hash.
2. update the local hash.
3. move(actually, copy) back the local hash to ftrace_ops.
4. update ftrace entries if needed.
5. release the local hash.
This makes regex_lock protect #1-#4, and ftrace_lock
to protect #3, #4 and adding and removing ftrace_ops from the
ftrace_ops_list. The ftrace_lock protects #3 as well because
the move functions update the entries too.

To fix that, this introduces a finer regex_lock for each ftrace_ops.
ftrace_regex_lock is too big of a lock which protects all
filter/notrace_hash operations, but it doesn't need to be a global
lock after supporting multiple ftrace_ops because each ftrace_ops
has its own filter/notrace_hash.

register_ftrace_function_probe() returns the number of functions
it registered, which can be zero, it can also return a negative number
if something went wrong. But event_enable_func() only checks for
the case that it didn't register anything, it needs to also check
for the case that something went wrong and return that error code
as well.

Return 0 instead of the number of activated ftrace function probes if
event_enable_func succeeded and return an error code if it failed or
did not register any functions. But it currently returns the number
of registered functions and if it didn't register anything, it returns 0,
but that is considered success.
This also fixes the return value. As if it succeeds, it returns the
number of functions that were enabled, which is returned back to
the user in ftrace_regex_write (the write() return code). If only
one function is enabled, then the return code of the write is one,
and this can confuse the user program in thinking it only wrote 1
byte.

As the wake up logic for waiters on the buffer has been moved
from the tracing code to the ring buffer, it requires also adding
IRQ_WORK as the wake up code is performed via irq_work.
This fixes compile breakage when a user of the ring buffer is selected
but tracing and irq_work are not.

Along with the usual minor fixes and clean ups there are a few major
changes with this pull request.
1) Multiple buffers for the ftrace facility
This feature has been requested by many people over the last few years.
I even heard that Google was about to implement it themselves. I finally
had time and cleaned up the code such that you can now create multiple
instances of the ftrace buffer and have different events go to different
buffers. This way, a low frequency event will not be lost in the noise
of a high frequency event.
Note, currently only events can go to different buffers, the tracers
(ie. function, function_graph and the latency tracers) still can only
be written to the main buffer.
2) The function tracer triggers have now been extended.
The function tracer had two triggers. One to enable tracing when a
function is hit, and one to disable tracing. Now you can record a
stack trace on a single (or many) function(s), take a snapshot of the
buffer (copy it to the snapshot buffer), and you can enable or disable
an event to be traced when a function is hit.
3) A perf clock has been added.
A "perf" clock can be chosen to be used when tracing. This will cause
ftrace to use the same clock as perf uses, and hopefully this will make
it easier to interleave the perf and ftrace data for analysis.

Merge tag 'trace-3.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"Along with the usual minor fixes and clean ups there are a few major
changes with this pull request.
1) Multiple buffers for the ftrace facility
This feature has been requested by many people over the last few
years. I even heard that Google was about to implement it themselves.
I finally had time and cleaned up the code such that you can now
create multiple instances of the ftrace buffer and have different
events go to different buffers. This way, a low frequency event will
not be lost in the noise of a high frequency event.
Note, currently only events can go to different buffers, the tracers
(ie function, function_graph and the latency tracers) still can only
be written to the main buffer.
2) The function tracer triggers have now been extended.
The function tracer had two triggers. One to enable tracing when a
function is hit, and one to disable tracing. Now you can record a
stack trace on a single (or many) function(s), take a snapshot of the
buffer (copy it to the snapshot buffer), and you can enable or disable
an event to be traced when a function is hit.
3) A perf clock has been added.
A "perf" clock can be chosen to be used when tracing. This will cause
ftrace to use the same clock as perf uses, and hopefully this will
make it easier to interleave the perf and ftrace data for analysis."

This reverts commit 3a366e614d.
Wanlong Gao reports that it causes a kernel panic on his machine several
minutes after boot. Reverting it removes the panic.
Jens says:
"It's not quite clear why that is yet, so I think we should just revert
the commit for 3.9 final (which I'm assuming is pretty close).
The wifi is crap at the LSF hotel, so sending this email instead of
queueing up a revert and pull request."

perf_trace_buf_prepare() + perf_trace_buf_submit() make no sense
if this task/CPU has no active counters. Change uprobe_perf_print()
to return if hlist_empty(call->perf_events).
Note: this is not uprobe-specific, we can change other users too.

uprobe_perf_print() passes addr=ip to perf_trace_buf_submit() for
no reason. This sets perf_sample_data->addr for PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR,
we already have perf_sample_data->ip initialized if PERF_SAMPLE_IP.

Change uprobe_trace_print() and uprobe_perf_print() to check
is_ret_probe() and fill ring_buffer_event accordingly.
Also change uprobe_trace_func() and uprobe_perf_func() to not
_print() if is_ret_probe() is true. Note that we keep ->handler()
nontrivial even for uretprobe, we need this for filtering and for
other potential extensions.

Create the new functions we need to support uretprobes, and change
alloc_trace_uprobe() to initialize consumer.ret_handler if the new
"is_ret" argument is true. Curently this argument is always false,
so the new code is never called and is_ret_probe(tu) is false too.

Extract the output code from uprobe_trace_func() and uprobe_perf_func()
into the new helpers, they will be used by ->ret_handler() too. We also
add the unused "unsigned long func" argument in advance, to simplify the
next changes.

struct uprobe_trace_entry_head has a single member for reporting,
"unsigned long ip". If we want to support uretprobes we need to
create another struct which has "func" and "ret_ip" and duplicate
a lot of functions, like trace_kprobe.c does.
To avoid this copy-and-paste horror we turn ->ip into ->vaddr[]
and add couple of trivial helpers to calculate sizeof/data. This
uglifies the code a bit, but this allows us to avoid a lot more
complications later, when we add the support for ret-probes.

It seems that function profiler's hash size is fixed at 1024. Add and
use FTRACE_PROFILE_HASH_BITS instead and update hash size macro.

As ftrace_filter_lseek is now used with ftrace_pid_fops, it needs to
be moved out of the #ifdef CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE section as the
ftrace_pid_fops is defined when DYNAMIC_FTRACE is not.
