886cf1901d mm: move recent_rotated pages calculation to shrink_inactive_list()
Patch series "mm: Generalize putback functions"]

putback_inactive_pages() and move_active_pages_to_lru() are almost
similar, so this patchset merges them ina single function.

This patch (of 4):

The patch moves the calculation from putback_inactive_pages() to
shrink_inactive_list().  This makes putback_inactive_pages() looking more
similar to move_active_pages_to_lru().

To do that, we account activated pages in reclaim_stat::nr_activate.
Since a page may change its LRU type from anon to file cache inside
shrink_page_list() (see ClearPageSwapBacked()), we have to account pages
for the both types.  So, nr_activate becomes an array.

Previously we used nr_activate to account PGACTIVATE events, but now we
account them into pgactivate variable (since they are about number of
pages in general, not about sum of hpage_nr_pages).

39a39d5b6b Documentation/trace: Add clarification how histogram onmatch works
The current trace documentation, the section describing histogram's "onmatch"
is not straightforward enough about how this action is applied. It is not
clear what criteria are used to "match" both events. A short note is added,
describing what exactly is compared in order to match the events.

e91eefd731 tracing: Add alternative synthetic event trace action syntax
Add a 'trace(synthetic_event_name, params)' alternative to
synthetic_event_name(params).

Currently, the syntax used for generating synthetic events is to
invoke synthetic_event_name(params) i.e. use the synthetic event name
as a function call.

Users requested a new form that more explicitly shows that the
synthetic event is in effect being traced.  In this version, a new
'trace()' keyword is used, and the synthetic event name is passed in
as the first argument.

In addition, for the sake of consistency with other actions, change
the documention to emphasize the trace() form over the function-call
form, which remains documented as equivalent.

f79b3f3385 ftrace: Allow enabling of filters via index of available_filter_functions
Enabling of large number of functions by echoing in a large subset of the
functions in available_filter_functions can take a very long time. The
process requires testing all functions registered by the function tracer
(which is in the 10s of thousands), and doing a kallsyms lookup to convert
the ip address into a name, then comparing that name with the string passed
in.

When a function causes the function tracer to crash the system, a binary
bisect of the available_filter_functions can be done to find the culprit.
But this requires passing in half of the functions in
available_filter_functions over and over again, which makes it basically a
O(n^2) operation. With 40,000 functions, that ends up bing 1,600,000,000
opertions! And enabling this can take over 20 minutes.

As a quick speed up, if a number is passed into one of the filter files,
instead of doing a search, it just enables the function at the corresponding
line of the available_filter_functions file. That is:

 # echo 50 > set_ftrace_filter
 # cat set_ftrace_filter
 x86_pmu_commit_txn

 # head -50 available_filter_functions | tail -1
 x86_pmu_commit_txn

This allows setting of half the available_filter_functions to take place in
less than a second!

 # time seq 20000 > set_ftrace_filter
 real    0m0.042s
 user    0m0.005s
 sys     0m0.015s

 # wc -l set_ftrace_filter
 20000 set_ftrace_filter

- Rework of the kprobe/uprobe and synthetic events to consolidate all
    the dynamic event code. This will make changes in the future easier.
 
  - Partial rewrite of the function graph tracing infrastructure.
    This will allow for multiple users of hooking onto functions
    to get the callback (return) of the function. This is the ground
    work for having kprobes and function graph tracer using one code base.
 
  - Clean up of the histogram code that will facilitate adding more
    features to the histograms in the future.
 
  - Addition of str_has_prefix() and a few use cases. There currently
    is a similar function strstart() that is used in a few places, but
    only returns a bool and not a length. These instances will be
    removed in the future to use str_has_prefix() instead.
 
  - A few other various clean ups as well.

343a9f3540 The biggest change here is the updates to kprobes
Back in January I posted patches to create function based events. These were
 the events that you suggested I make to allow developers to easily create
 events in code where no trace event exists. After posting those changes for
 review, it was suggested that we implement this instead with kprobes.
 
 The problem with kprobes is that the interface is too complex and needs to
 be simplified. Masami Hiramatsu posted patches in March and I've been
 playing with them a bit. There's been a bit of clean up in the kprobe code
 that was inspired by the function based event patches, and a couple of
 enhancements to the kprobe event interface.
 
  - If the arch supports it (we added support for x86), you can place a
    kprobe event at the start of a function and use $arg1, $arg2, etc
    to reference the arguments of a function. (Before you needed to know
    what register or where on the stack the argument was).
 
  - The second is a way to see array of events. For example, if you reference
    a mac address, you can add:
 
    echo 'p:mac ip_rcv perm_addr=+574($arg2):x8[6]' > kprobe_events
 
    And this will produce:
 
    mac: (ip_rcv+0x0/0x140) perm_addr={0x52,0x54,0x0,0xc0,0x76,0xec}
 
 Other changes include
 
  - Exporting trace_dump_stack to modules
 
  - Have the stack tracer trace the entire stack (stop trying to remove
    tracing itself, as we keep removing too much).
 
  - Added support for SDT in uprobes

Note that this returns most probably assignment of registers

to access correct registers or stacks you should use perf-probe.

40b53b7718 tracing: probeevent: Add array type support
Add array type support for probe events.
This allows user to get arraied types from memory address.
The array type syntax is

	TYPE[N]

Where TYPE is one of types (u8/16/32/64,s8/16/32/64,
x8/16/32/64, symbol, string) and N is a fixed value less
than 64.

The string array type is a bit different from other types. For
other base types, <base-type>[1] is equal to <base-type>
(e.g. +0(%di):x32[1] is same as +0(%di):x32.) But string[1] is not
equal to string. The string type itself represents "char array",
but string array type represents "char * array". So, for example,
+0(%di):string[1] is equal to +0(+0(%di)):string.

eeee3149aa There's been a fair amount of work in the docs tree this time around,
including:
 
  - Extensive RST conversions and organizational work in the
    memory-management docs thanks to Mike Rapoport.
 
  - An update of Documentation/features from Andrea Parri and a script to
    keep it updated.
 
  - Various LICENSES updates from Thomas, along with a script to check SPDX
    tags.
 
  - Work to fix dangling references to documentation files; this involved a
    fair number of one-liner comment changes outside of Documentation/
 
 ...and the usual list of documentation improvements, typo fixes, etc.

40fe78a242 coresight: Remove %px for printing pcsr value
The driver prints pcsr twice: the first time it uses specifier %px to
print hexadecimal pcsr value and the second time uses specifier %pS for
output kernel symbols.

As suggested by Kees, using %pS should be sufficient and %px isn't
necessary; the reason is if the pcsr is a kernel space address, we can
easily get to know the code line from %pS format, on the other hand, if
the pcsr value doesn't fall into kernel space range (e.g. if the CPU is
stuck in firmware), %pS also gives out pcsr hexadecimal value.

So this commit removes useless %px and update section "Output format"
in the document for alignment between the code and document.
