2c92ca849f tracing/treewide: Remove second parameter of __assign_str()
With the rework of how the __string() handles dynamic strings where it
saves off the source string in field in the helper structure[1], the
assignment of that value to the trace event field is stored in the helper
value and does not need to be passed in again.

This means that with:

  __string(field, mystring)

Which use to be assigned with __assign_str(field, mystring), no longer
needs the second parameter and it is unused. With this, __assign_str()
will now only get a single parameter.

There's over 700 users of __assign_str() and because coccinelle does not
handle the TRACE_EVENT() macro I ended up using the following sed script:

  git grep -l __assign_str | while read a ; do
      sed -e 's/\(__assign_str([^,]*[^ ,]\) *,[^;]*/\1)/' $a > /tmp/test-file;
      mv /tmp/test-file $a;
  done

I then searched for __assign_str() that did not end with ';' as those
were multi line assignments that the sed script above would fail to catch.

Note, the same updates will need to be done for:

  __assign_str_len()
  __assign_rel_str()
  __assign_rel_str_len()

I tested this with both an allmodconfig and an allyesconfig (build only for both).

21c38a3bd4 cgroup/rstat: add cgroup_rstat_cpu_lock helpers and tracepoints
This closely resembles helpers added for the global cgroup_rstat_lock in
commit fc29e04ae1 ("cgroup/rstat: add cgroup_rstat_lock helpers and
tracepoints"). This is for the per CPU lock cgroup_rstat_cpu_lock.

Based on production workloads, we observe the fast-path "update" function
cgroup_rstat_updated() is invoked around 3 million times per sec, while the
"flush" function cgroup_rstat_flush_locked(), walking each possible CPU,
can see periodic spikes of 700 invocations/sec.

For this reason, the tracepoints are split into normal and fastpath
versions for this per-CPU lock. Making it feasible for production to
continuously monitor the non-fastpath tracepoint to detect lock contention
issues. The reason for monitoring is that lock disables IRQs which can
disturb e.g. softirq processing on the local CPUs involved. When the
global cgroup_rstat_lock stops disabling IRQs (e.g converted to a mutex),
this per CPU lock becomes the next bottleneck that can introduce latency
variations.

A practical bpftrace script for monitoring contention latency:

 bpftrace -e '
   tracepoint:cgroup:cgroup_rstat_cpu_lock_contended {
     @start[tid]=nsecs; @cnt[probe]=count()}
   tracepoint:cgroup:cgroup_rstat_cpu_locked {
     if (args->contended) {
       @wait_ns=hist(nsecs-@start[tid]); delete(@start[tid]);}
     @cnt[probe]=count()}
   interval:s:1 {time("%H:%M:%S "); print(@wait_ns); print(@cnt); clear(@cnt);}'

fc29e04ae1 cgroup/rstat: add cgroup_rstat_lock helpers and tracepoints
This commit enhances the ability to troubleshoot the global
cgroup_rstat_lock by introducing wrapper helper functions for the lock
along with associated tracepoints.

Although global, the cgroup_rstat_lock helper APIs and tracepoints take
arguments such as cgroup pointer and cpu_in_loop variable. This
adjustment is made because flushing occurs per cgroup despite the lock
being global. Hence, when troubleshooting, it's important to identify the
relevant cgroup. The cpu_in_loop variable is necessary because the global
lock may be released within the main flushing loop that traverses CPUs.
In the tracepoints, the cpu_in_loop value is set to -1 when acquiring the
main lock; otherwise, it denotes the CPU number processed last.

The new feature in this patchset is detecting when lock is contended. The
tracepoints are implemented with production in mind. For minimum overhead
attach to cgroup:cgroup_rstat_lock_contended, which only gets activated
when trylock detects lock is contended. A quick production check for
issues could be done via this perf commands:

 perf record -g -e cgroup:cgroup_rstat_lock_contended

Next natural question would be asking how long time do lock contenders
wait for obtaining the lock. This can be answered by measuring the time
between cgroup:cgroup_rstat_lock_contended and cgroup:cgroup_rstat_locked
when args->contended is set.  Like this bpftrace script:

 bpftrace -e '
   tracepoint:cgroup:cgroup_rstat_lock_contended {@start[tid]=nsecs}
   tracepoint:cgroup:cgroup_rstat_locked {
     if (args->contended) {
       @wait_ns=hist(nsecs-@start[tid]); delete(@start[tid]);}}
   interval:s:1 {time("%H:%M:%S "); print(@wait_ns); }'

Extending with time spend holding the lock will be more expensive as this
also looks at all the non-contended cases.
Like this bpftrace script:

 bpftrace -e '
   tracepoint:cgroup:cgroup_rstat_lock_contended {@start[tid]=nsecs}
   tracepoint:cgroup:cgroup_rstat_locked { @locked[tid]=nsecs;
     if (args->contended) {
       @wait_ns=hist(nsecs-@start[tid]); delete(@start[tid]);}}
   tracepoint:cgroup:cgroup_rstat_unlock {
       @locked_ns=hist(nsecs-@locked[tid]); delete(@locked[tid]);}
   interval:s:1 {time("%H:%M:%S ");  print(@wait_ns);print(@locked_ns); }'

743210386c cgroup: use cgrp->kn->id as the cgroup ID
cgroup ID is currently allocated using a dedicated per-hierarchy idr
and used internally and exposed through tracepoints and bpf.  This is
confusing because there are tracepoints and other interfaces which use
the cgroupfs ino as IDs.

The preceding changes made kn->id exposed as ino as 64bit ino on
supported archs or ino+gen (low 32bits as ino, high gen).  There's no
reason for cgroup to use different IDs.  The kernfs IDs are unique and
userland can easily discover them and map them back to paths using
standard file operations.

This patch replaces cgroup IDs with kernfs IDs.

* cgroup_id() is added and all cgroup ID users are converted to use it.

* kernfs_node creation is moved to earlier during cgroup init so that
  cgroup_id() is available during init.

* While at it, s/cgroup/cgrp/ in psi helpers for consistency.

* Fallback ID value is changed to 1 to be consistent with root cgroup
  ID.

4c476d8cff cgroup: add tracing points for cgroup v2 freezer
Add cgroup:cgroup_freeze and cgroup:cgroup_unfreeze events,
which are using the existing cgroup tracing infrastructure.

Add the cgroup_event event class, which is similar to the cgroup
class, but contains an additional integer field to store a new
value (the level field is dropped).

Also add two tracing events: cgroup_notify_populated and
cgroup_notify_frozen, which are raised in a generic way using
the TRACE_CGROUP_PATH() macro.

This allows to trace cgroup state transitions and is generally
helpful for debugging the cgroup freezer code.

e4f8d81c73 cgroup/tracing: Move taking of spin lock out of trace event handlers
It is unwise to take spin locks from the handlers of trace events.
Mainly, because they can introduce lockups, because it introduces locks
in places that are normally not tested. Worse yet, because trace events
are tucked away in the include/trace/events/ directory, locks that are
taken there are forgotten about.

As a general rule, I tell people never to take any locks in a trace
event handler.

Several cgroup trace event handlers call cgroup_path() which eventually
takes the kernfs_rename_lock spinlock. This injects the spinlock in the
code without people realizing it. It also can cause issues for the
PREEMPT_RT patch, as the spinlock becomes a mutex, and the trace event
handlers are called with preemption disabled.

By moving the calculation of the cgroup_path() out of the trace event
handlers and into a macro (surrounded by a
trace_cgroup_##type##_enabled()), then we could place the cgroup_path
into a string, and pass that to the trace event. Not only does this
remove the taking of the spinlock out of the trace event handler, but
it also means that the cgroup_path() only needs to be called once (it
is currently called twice, once to get the length to reserver the
buffer for, and once again to get the path itself. Now it only needs to
be done once.

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.
