2d34f48955 tracing: Make ftrace_trace_stack() depend on general trace_array flag
In preparation for the multi buffer instances to have their own trace_flags,
the check in ftrace_trace_stack() needs to test the trace_array descriptor
flag that is for the current event, not the global_trace descriptor.

9a38a8856f tracing: Add a method to pass in trace_array descriptor to option files
In preparation of having the multi buffer instances having their own trace
option flags, the trace option files needs a way to not only pass in the
flag they represent, but also the trace_array descriptor.

A new field is added to the trace_array descriptor called trace_flags_index,
which is a 32 byte character array representing a bit. This array is simply
filled with the index of the array, where

  index_array[n] = n;

Then the address of this array is passed to the file callbacks instead of
the index of the flag index. Then to retrieve both the flag index and the
trace_array descriptor:

  data is the passed in argument.

  index = *(unsigned char *)data;

  data -= index;

  /* Now data points to the address of the array in the trace_array */

  tr = container_of(data, struct trace_array, trace_flags_index);

983f938ae6 tracing: Move trace_flags from global to a trace_array field
In preparation to make trace options per instance, the global trace_flags
needs to be moved from being a global variable to a field within the trace
instance trace_array structure.

There's still more work to do, as there's some functions that use
trace_flags without passing in a way to get to the current_trace array. For
those, the global_trace is used directly (from trace.c). This includes
setting and clearing the trace_flags. This means that when a new instance is
created, it just gets the trace_flags of the global_trace and will not be
able to modify them. Depending on the functions that have access to the
trace_array, the flags of an instance may not affect parts of its trace,
where the global_trace is used. These will be fixed in future changes.

5557720415 tracing: Move sleep-time and graph-time options out of the core trace_flags
The sleep-time and graph-time options are only for the function graph tracer
and are not used by anything else. As tracer options are now visible when
the tracer is not activated, its better to move the function graph specific
tracer options into the function graph tracer.

b9f9108cad tracing: Remove access to trace_flags in trace_printk.c
In the effort to move the global trace_flags to the tracing instances, the
direct access to trace_flags must be removed from trace_printk.c

Instead, add a new trace_printk_enabled boolean that is set by a new access
function trace_printk_control(), that will enable or disable trace_printk.

41d9c0becc tracing: Always show all tracer options in the options directory
There are options that are unique to a specific tracer (like function and
function graph). Currently, these options are only visible in the options
directory when the tracer is enabled.

This has been a pain, especially for something like the func_stack_trace
option that if used inappropriately, could bring the system to a crawl. But
the only way to see it, is to enable the function tracer.

For example, if one had done:

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
 # echo __schedule > set_ftrace_filter
 # echo 1 > options/func_stack_trace
 # echo function > current_tracer

The __schedule call will be traced and a stack trace will also be recorded
there. Now when you were done, you may do...

 # echo nop > current_tracer
 # echo > set_ftrace_filter

But you forgot to disable the func_stack_trace. The only way to disable it
is to re-enable function tracing first. If you do not add a filter to
set_ftrace_filter and just do:

 # echo function > current_tracer

Now you would be performing a stack trace on *every* function! On some
systems, that causes a live lock. Others may take a few minutes to fix your
mistake.

Having the func_stack_trace option visible allows you to check it and
disable it before enabling the funtion tracer.

a3418a364e tracing: Use TRACE_FLAGS macro to keep enums and strings matched
Use a cute little macro trick to keep the names of the trace flags file
guaranteed to match the corresponding masks.

The macro TRACE_FLAGS is defined as a serious of enum names followed by
the string name of the file that matches it. For example:

 #define TRACE_FLAGS						\
		C(PRINT_PARENT,		"print-parent"),	\
		C(SYM_OFFSET,		"sym-offset"),		\
		C(SYM_ADDR,		"sym-addr"),		\
		C(VERBOSE,		"verbose"),

Now we can define the following:

 #undef C
 #define C(a, b) TRACE_ITER_##a##_BIT
 enum trace_iterator_bits { TRACE_FLAGS };

The above creates:

 enum trace_iterator_bits {
	TRACE_ITER_PRINT_PARENT_BIT,
	TRACE_ITER_SYM_OFFSET_BIT,
	TRACE_ITER_SYM_ADDR_BIT,
	TRACE_ITER_VERBOSE_BIT,
 };

Then we can redefine C as:

 #undef C
 #define C(a, b) TRACE_ITER_##a = (1 << TRACE_ITER_##a##_BIT)
 enum trace_iterator_flags { TRACE_FLAGS };

Which creates:

 enum trace_iterator_flags {
	TRACE_ITER_PRINT_PARENT	= (1 << TRACE_ITER_PRINT_PARENT_BIT),
	TRACE_ITER_SYM_OFFSET	= (1 << TRACE_ITER_SYM_OFFSET_BIT),
	TRACE_ITER_SYM_ADDR	= (1 << TRACE_ITER_SYM_ADDR_BIT),
	TRACE_ITER_VERBOSE	= (1 << TRACE_ITER_VERBOSE_BIT),
 };

Then finally we can create the list of file names:

 #undef C
 #define C(a, b) b
 static const char *trace_options[] = {
	TRACE_FLAGS
	NULL
 };

Which creates:
 static const char *trace_options[] = {
	"print-parent",
	"sym-offset",
	"sym-addr",
	"verbose",
	NULL
 };

The importance of this is that the strings match the bit index.

	trace_options[TRACE_ITER_SYM_ADDR_BIT] == "sym-addr"

tracer is not active, we need to get rid of duplicate options. Any option
that is shared between multiple tracers really should be a main option.

As the wakeup and irqsoff tracers both use the "display-graph" option, and
use it exactly the same way, move that option from the tracer options to the
main options and consolidate them.

8d3b7dce86 bpf: add support for %s specifier to bpf_trace_printk()
%s specifier makes bpf program and kernel debugging easier.
To make sure that trace_printk won't crash the unsafe string
is copied into stack and unsafe pointer is substituted.

The following C program:
 #include <linux/fs.h>
int foo(struct pt_regs *ctx, struct filename *filename)
{
  void *name = 0;

  bpf_probe_read(&name, sizeof(name), &filename->name);
  bpf_trace_printk("executed %s\n", name);
  return 0;
}

when attached to kprobe do_execve()
will produce output in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe :

9f61668073 tracing: Allow triggers to filter for CPU ids and process names
By extending the filter rules by more generic fields
we can write triggers filters like

  echo 'stacktrace if cpu == 1' > \
	/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger

or

  echo 'stacktrace if comm == sshd'  > \
	/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger

CPU and COMM are not part of struct trace_entry. We could add the two
new fields to ftrace_common_field list and fix up all depending
sides. But that looks pretty ugly. Another thing I would like to
avoid that the 'format' file contents changes.

All this can be avoided by introducing another list which contains
non field members of struct trace_entry.

After this patch, users are allowed to use PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF on a

Because of this patch, CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS should be selected by

fbd705a0c6 sched: Introduce the 'trace_sched_waking' tracepoint
Mathieu reported that since 317f394160 ("sched: Move the second half
of ttwu() to the remote cpu") trace_sched_wakeup() can happen out of
context of the waker.

This is a problem when you want to analyse wakeup paths because it is
now very hard to correlate the wakeup event to whoever issued the
wakeup.

OTOH trace_sched_wakeup() is issued at the point where we set
p->state = TASK_RUNNING, which is right were we hand the task off to
the scheduler, so this is an important point when looking at
scheduling behaviour, up to here its been the wakeup path everything
hereafter is due to scheduler policy.

To bridge this gap, introduce a second tracepoint: trace_sched_waking.
It is guaranteed to be called in the waker context.

4246a0b63b block: add a bi_error field to struct bio
Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:

 (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
 (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback

The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario.  Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.

So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

82c355e81a ftrace: Fix function_graph duration spacing with 7-digits
Jungseok Lee noticed the following:

Currently, row's width of 7-digit duration numbers not aligned with
other cases like the following example.

 3) $ 3999884 us |      }
 3)               |      finish_task_switch() {
 3)   0.365 us    |        _raw_spin_unlock_irq();
 3)   3.333 us    |      }
 3) $ 3999976 us |    }
 3) $ 3999979 us |  } /* schedule */

As adding a single white space in case of 7-digit numbers, the format
could be unified easily as follows.

 3) $ 2237472 us  |      }
 3)               |      finish_task_switch() {
 3)   0.364 us    |        _raw_spin_unlock_irq();
 3)   3.125 us    |      }
 3) $ 2237556 us  |    }
 3) $ 2237559 us  |  } /* schedule */

Instead of making a special case for 7-digit numbers, the logic
of the len and the space loop is slightly modified to make the
two cases have the same format.

72ac426a5b tracing: Clean up stack tracing and fix fentry updates
Akashi Takahiro was porting the stack tracer to arm64 and found some
issues with it. One was that it repeats the top function, due to the
stack frame added by the mcount caller and added by itself. This
was added when fentry came in, and before fentry created its own stack
frame. But x86's fentry now creates its own stack frame, and there's
no need to insert the function again.

This also cleans up the code a bit, where it doesn't need to do something
special for fentry, and doesn't include insertion of a duplicate
entry for the called function being traced.

Now that events only add time extends after it is committed, in case
an event comes in before it can discard the allocated event, the time
extend needs to be stored within the event. If the event is bigger
than then size needed for the time extend, padding must be added.
The minimum padding size is 8 bytes. Thus if the event is 12 bytes
(size of time extend + 4), there will not be enough room to add both
the time extend and padding. Make sure all events are either 8 bytes
or 16 or more bytes.

a4543a2fa9 ring-buffer: Get timestamp after event is allocated
Move the capturing of the timestamp to after an event is allocated.
If the event is not a commit (where it is an event that preempted
another event), then no timestamp is needed, because the delta of
nested events is always zero.

If the event starts on a new page, no delta needs to be calculated
as the full timestamp will be added to the page header, and the
event will have a delta of zero.

Now if the event requires a time extend (the delta does not fit
in the 27 bit delta slot in the header), then the event is discarded,
the length is extended to hold the TIME_EXTEND event that allows for
a 59 bit delta, and the commit is tried again.

If the event can't be discarded (another event came in after it),
then the TIME_EXTEND is added directly to the allocated event and
the rest of the event is given padding.

6224beb12e tracing: Have branch tracer use recursive field of task struct
Fengguang Wu's tests triggered a bug in the branch tracer's start up
test when CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT set. This was because that config
adds some debug logic in the per cpu field, which calls back into
the branch tracer.

The branch tracer has its own recursive checks, but uses a per cpu
variable to implement it. If retrieving the per cpu variable calls
back into the branch tracer, you can see how things will break.

Instead of using a per cpu variable, use the trace_recursion field
of the current task struct. Simply set a bit when entering the
branch tracing and clear it when leaving. If the bit is set on
entry, just don't do the tracing.

There's also the case with lockdep, as the local_irq_save() called
before the recursion can also trigger code that can call back into
the function. Changing that to a raw_local_irq_save() will protect
that as well.

This prevents the recursion and the inevitable crash that follows.

Linus Torvalds
e382608254 This patch series contains several clean ups and even a new trace clock
"monitonic raw". Also some enhancements to make the ring buffer even
 faster. But the biggest and most noticeable change is the renaming of
 the ftrace* files, structures and variables that have to deal with
 trace events.
 
 Over the years I've had several developers tell me about their confusion
 with what ftrace is compared to events. Technically, "ftrace" is the
 infrastructure to do the function hooks, which include tracing and also
 helps with live kernel patching. But the trace events are a separate
 entity altogether, and the files that affect the trace events should
 not be named "ftrace". These include:
 
   include/trace/ftrace.h	->	include/trace/trace_events.h
   include/linux/ftrace_event.h	->	include/linux/trace_events.h
 
 Also, functions that are specific for trace events have also been renamed:
 
   ftrace_print_*()		->	trace_print_*()
   (un)register_ftrace_event()	->	(un)register_trace_event()
   ftrace_event_name()		->	trace_event_name()
   ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled()->	trace_trigger_soft_disabled()
   ftrace_define_fields_##call() ->	trace_define_fields_##call()
   ftrace_get_offsets_##call()	->	trace_get_offsets_##call()
 
 Structures have been renamed:
 
   ftrace_event_file		->	trace_event_file
   ftrace_event_{call,class}	->	trace_event_{call,class}
   ftrace_event_buffer		->	trace_event_buffer
   ftrace_subsystem_dir		->	trace_subsystem_dir
   ftrace_event_raw_##call	->	trace_event_raw_##call
   ftrace_event_data_offset_##call->	trace_event_data_offset_##call
   ftrace_event_type_funcs_##call ->	trace_event_type_funcs_##call
 
 And a few various variables and flags have also been updated.
 
 This has been sitting in linux-next for some time, and I have not heard
 a single complaint about this rename breaking anything. Mostly because
 these functions, variables and structures are mostly internal to the
 tracing system and are seldom (if ever) used by anything external to that.

Merge tag 'trace-v4.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "This patch series contains several clean ups and even a new trace
  clock "monitonic raw".  Also some enhancements to make the ring buffer
  even faster.  But the biggest and most noticeable change is the
  renaming of the ftrace* files, structures and variables that have to
  deal with trace events.

  Over the years I've had several developers tell me about their
  confusion with what ftrace is compared to events.  Technically,
  "ftrace" is the infrastructure to do the function hooks, which include
  tracing and also helps with live kernel patching.  But the trace
  events are a separate entity altogether, and the files that affect the
  trace events should not be named "ftrace".  These include:

    include/trace/ftrace.h         ->    include/trace/trace_events.h
    include/linux/ftrace_event.h   ->    include/linux/trace_events.h

  Also, functions that are specific for trace events have also been renamed:

    ftrace_print_*()               ->    trace_print_*()
    (un)register_ftrace_event()    ->    (un)register_trace_event()
    ftrace_event_name()            ->    trace_event_name()
    ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled() ->    trace_trigger_soft_disabled()
    ftrace_define_fields_##call()  ->    trace_define_fields_##call()
    ftrace_get_offsets_##call()    ->    trace_get_offsets_##call()

  Structures have been renamed:

    ftrace_event_file              ->    trace_event_file
    ftrace_event_{call,class}      ->    trace_event_{call,class}
    ftrace_event_buffer            ->    trace_event_buffer
    ftrace_subsystem_dir           ->    trace_subsystem_dir
    ftrace_event_raw_##call        ->    trace_event_raw_##call
    ftrace_event_data_offset_##call->    trace_event_data_offset_##call
    ftrace_event_type_funcs_##call ->    trace_event_type_funcs_##call

  And a few various variables and flags have also been updated.

  This has been sitting in linux-next for some time, and I have not
  heard a single complaint about this rename breaking anything.  Mostly
  because these functions, variables and structures are mostly internal
  to the tracing system and are seldom (if ever) used by anything
  external to that"
