Currently, when a module with events is unloaded, the trace buffer is
cleared. This is just a safety net in case the module might have some
strange callback when its event is outputted. But there's no reason
to reset the buffer if the module didn't have any of its events traced.
Add a flag to the event "call" structure called WAS_ENABLED and gets set
when the event is ever enabled, and this flag never gets cleared. When a
module gets unloaded, if any of its events have this flag set, then the
trace buffer will get cleared.

All the trace event flags have comments but the IGNORE_ENABLE flag
which is set for ftrace internal events that should not be enabled
via the debugfs "enable" file. That is, if the top level enable file
is set, it will enable all events. It use to just check the ftrace
event call descriptor "reg" field and skip those whithout it, but now
some ftrace internal events have a reg field but still need to be
skipped. The flag was created to ignore those events.
Now document it.

Pass the struct ftrace_event_file *ftrace_file to the
trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() (new function that replaces the
trace_current_buffer_lock_reserver()).
The ftrace_file holds a pointer to the trace_array that is in use.
In the case of multiple buffers with different trace_arrays, this
allows different events to be recorded into different buffers.

The trace events for ftrace are all defined via global variables.
The arrays of events and event systems are linked to a global list.
This prevents multiple users of the event system (what to enable and
what not to).
By adding descriptors to represent the event/file relation, as well
as to which trace_array descriptor they are associated with, allows
for more than one set of events to be defined. Once the trace events
files have a link between the trace event and the trace_array they
are associated with, we can create multiple trace_arrays that can
record separate events in separate buffers.

Ftrace has a snapshot feature available from kernel space and
latency tracers (e.g. irqsoff) are using it. This patch enables
user applictions to take a snapshot via debugfs.
Add "snapshot" debugfs file in "tracing" directory.
snapshot:
This is used to take a snapshot and to read the output of the
snapshot.
# echo 1 > snapshot
This will allocate the spare buffer for snapshot (if it is
not allocated), and take a snapshot.
# cat snapshot
This will show contents of the snapshot.
# echo 0 > snapshot
This will free the snapshot if it is allocated.
Any other positive values will clear the snapshot contents if
the snapshot is allocated, or return EINVAL if it is not allocated.

Due to a userspace issue with PowerTop v2beta, which hardcoded
the offset of event fields that it was using, it broke when
we removed the Big Kernel Lock counter from the event header.
(commit e6e1e2593 "tracing: Remove lock_depth from event entry")
Because this broke userspace, it was determined that we must
keep those 4 bytes around.
(commit a3a4a5acd "Regression: partial revert "tracing: Remove lock_depth from event entry"")
This unfortunately wastes space in the ring buffer. 4 bytes per
event, where a lot of events are just 24 bytes. That's 16% of the
buffer wasted. A million events will add 4 megs of white space
into the buffer.
It was later noticed that PowerTop v2beta could not work on systems
where the kernel was 64 bit but the userspace was 32 bits.
The reason was because the offsets are different between the
two and the hard coded offset of one would not work with the other.
With PowerTop v2 final, it implemented the same interface that both
perf and trace-cmd use. That is, it reads the format file of
the event to find the offsets of the fields it needs. This fixes
the problem with running powertop on a 32 bit userspace running
on a 64 bit kernel. It also no longer requires the 4 byte padding.
As PowerTop v2 has been out for a while, and is included in all
major distributions, it is time that we can safely remove the
4 bytes of padding. Users of PowerTop v2beta should upgrade to
PowerTop v2 final.

Sparse complains when is_signed_type() is used on a pointer.
This macro is needed for the format output used for ftrace
and perf, to know if a binary field is a signed type or not.
The is_signed_type() macro is used against all fields that are
recorded by events to automate the operation.
The problem sparse has is with the current way is_signed_type()
works:
((type)-1 < 0)
If "type" is a poiner, than sparse does not like it being compared
to an integer (zero). The simple fix is to just give zero the
same type. The runtime result stays the same.

Have the ring buffer commit function use the irq_work infrastructure to
wake up any waiters waiting on the ring buffer for new data. The irq_work
was created for such a purpose, where doing the actual wake up at the
time of adding data is too dangerous, as an event or function trace may
be in the midst of the work queue locks and cause deadlocks. The irq_work
will either delay the action to the next timer interrupt, or trigger an IPI
to itself forcing an interrupt to do the work (in a safe location).
With irq_work, all ring buffer commits can safely do wakeups, removing
the need for the ring buffer commit "nowake" variants, which were used
by events and function tracing. All commits can now safely use the
normal commit, and the "nowake" variants can be removed.

A few events are interesting not only for a current task.
For example, sched_stat_* events are interesting for a task
which wakes up. For this reason, it will be good if such
events will be delivered to a target task too.
Now a target task can be set by using __perf_task().
The original idea and a draft patch belongs to Peter Zijlstra.
I need these events for profiling sleep times. sched_switch is used for
getting callchains and sched_stat_* is used for getting time periods.
These events are combined in user space, then it can be analyzed by
perf tools.

Replace the NR_CPUS array of buffer_iter from the trace_iterator
with an allocated array. This will just create an array of
possible CPUS instead of the max number specified.
The use of NR_CPUS in that array caused allocation failures for
machines that were tight on memory. This did not cause any failures
to the system itself (no crashes), but caused unnecessary failures
for reading the trace files.
Added a helper function called 'trace_buffer_iter()' that returns
the buffer_iter item or NULL if it is not defined or the array was
not allocated. Some routines do not require the array
(tracing_open_pipe() for one).

With the adding of function tracing event to perf, it caused a
side effect that produces the following warning when enabling all
events in ftrace:
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/enable
[console]
event trace: Could not enable event function
This is because when enabling all events via the debugfs system
it ignores events that do not have a ->reg() function assigned.
This was to skip over the ftrace internal events (as they are
not TRACE_EVENTs). But as the ftrace function event now has
a ->reg() function attached to it for use with perf, it is no
longer ignored.
Worse yet, this ->reg() function is being called when it should
not be. It returns an error and causes the above warning to
be printed.
By adding a new event_call flag (TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE)
and have all ftrace internel event structures have it set,
setting the events/enable will no longe try to incorrectly enable
the function event and does not warn.

Currently the stack trace per event in ftace is only 8 frames.
This can be quite limiting and sometimes useless. Especially when
the "ignore frames" is wrong and we also use up stack frames for
the event processing itself.
Change this to be dynamic by adding a percpu buffer that we can
write a large stack frame into and then copy into the ring buffer.
For interrupts and NMIs that come in while another event is being
process, will only get to use the 8 frame stack. That should be enough
as the task that it interrupted will have the full stack frame anyway.

Fix to support kernel stack trace correctly on kprobe-tracer.
Since the execution path of kprobe-based dynamic events is different
from other tracepoint-based events, normal ftrace_trace_stack() doesn't
work correctly. To fix that, this introduces ftrace_trace_stack_regs()
which traces stack via pt_regs instead of current stack register.
e.g.
# echo p schedule+4 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/options/stacktrace
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/enable
# head -n 20 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
bash-2968 [000] 10297.050245: p_schedule_4: (schedule+0x4/0x4ca)
bash-2968 [000] 10297.050247: <stack trace>

sshd-1132 [000] 10297.050365: <stack trace>
=> sysret_careful
Note: Even with this fix, the first entry will be skipped
if the probe is put on the function entry area before
the frame pointer is set up (usually, that is 4 bytes
(push %bp; mov %sp %bp) on x86), because stack unwinder
depends on the frame pointer.

Currently we have in something like the sched_switch event:

When a userspace tool such as perf tries to parse this, the
TASK_COMM_LEN is meaningless. This is done because the TRACE_EVENT() macro
simply uses a #len to show the string of the length. When the length is
an enum, we get a string that means nothing for tools.
By adding a static buffer and a mutex to protect it, we can store the
string into that buffer with snprintf and show the actual number.
Now we get:
field:char prev_comm[16]; offset:12; size:16; signed:1;

Replace pmu::{enable,disable,start,stop,unthrottle} with
pmu::{add,del,start,stop}, all of which take a flags argument.
The new interface extends the capability to stop a counter while
keeping it scheduled on the PMU. We replace the throttled state with
the generic stopped state.
This also allows us to efficiently stop/start counters over certain
code paths (like IRQ handlers).
It also allows scheduling a counter without it starting, allowing for
a generic frozen state (useful for rotating stopped counters).
The stopped state is implemented in two different ways, depending on
how the architecture implemented the throttled state:
1) We disable the counter:
a) the pmu has per-counter enable bits, we flip that
b) we program a NOP event, preserving the counter state
2) We store the counter state and ignore all read/overflow events

the code was scattered with:
if (class->reg)
class->reg();

default_reg();
This is messy and can also lead to bugs.
This patch cleans up this code and creates a default reg() entry for

The flags variable is protected by the event_mutex when modifying,
but the event_mutex is not held when reading the variable.
This is due to the fact that the reads occur in critical sections where
taking a mutex (or even a spinlock) is not wanted.
But the two flags that exist (enable and filter_active) have the code
written as such to handle the reads to not need a lock.
The enable flag is used just to know if the event is enabled or not
and its use is always under the event_mutex. Whether or not the event
is actually enabled is really determined by the tracepoint being
registered. The flag is just a way to let the code know if the tracepoint
is registered.
The filter_active is different. It is read without the lock. If it
is set, then the event probes jump to the filter code. There can be a
slight mismatch between filters available and filter_active. If the flag is
set but no filters are available, the code safely jumps to a filter nop.
If the flag is not set and the filters are available, then the filters
are skipped. This is acceptable since filters are usually set before
tracing or they are set by humans, which would not notice the slight
delay that this causes.

The filter_active and enable both use an int (4 bytes each) to
set a single flag. We can save 4 bytes per event by combining the
two into a single integer.

This gives us another 5K in savings.
The modification of both the enable and filter fields are done
under the event_mutex, so it is still safe to combine the two.
Note: Although Mathieu gave his Acked-by, he would like it documented
that the reads of flags are not protected by the mutex. The way the
code works, these reads will not break anything, but will have a
residual effect. Since this behavior is the same even before this
patch, describing this situation is left to another patch, as this
patch does not change the behavior, but just brought it to Mathieu's
attention.

Now that the trace_event structure is embedded in the ftrace_event_call
structure, there is no need for the ftrace_event_call id field.
The id field is the same as the trace_event type field.
Removing the id and re-arranging the structure brings down the tracepoint
footprint by another 5K.

Currently, every event has its own trace_event structure. This is
fine since the structure is needed anyway. But the print function
structure (trace_event_functions) is now separate. Since the output
of the trace event is done by the class (with the exception of events
defined by DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT), it makes sense to have the class
define the print functions that all events in the class can use.
This makes a bigger deal with the syscall events since all syscall events
use the same class. The savings here is another 30K.

To accomplish this, and to let the class know what event is being
printed, the event structure is embedded in the ftrace_event_call
structure. This should not be an issues since the event structure
was created for each event anyway.

Multiple events may use the same method to print their data.
Instead of having all events have a pointer to their print funtions,
the trace_event structure now points to a trace_event_functions structure
that will hold the way to print ouf the event.
The event itself is now passed to the print function to let the print
function know what kind of event it should print.
This opens the door to consolidating the way several events print
their output.

The raw_init function pointer in the event is used to initialize
various kinds of events. The type of initialization needed is usually
classed to the kind of event it is.
Two events with the same class will always have the same initialization
function, so it makes sense to move this to the class structure.
Perhaps even making a special system structure would work since
the initialization is the same for all events within a system.
But since there's no system structure (yet), this will just move it
to the class.

The text grew very slightly, but this is a constant growth that happened
with the changing of the C files that call the init code.
The bigger savings is the data which will be saved the more events share
a class.

Move the defined fields from the event to the class structure.
Since the fields of the event are defined by the class they belong
to, it makes sense to have the class hold the information instead
of the individual events. The events of the same class would just
hold duplicate information.
After this change the size of the kernel dropped another 3K:
text data bss dec hex filename
4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig

4900375 1053380 861512 6815267 67fe23 vmlinux.fields
Although the text increased, this was mainly due to the C files
having to adapt to the change. This is a constant increase, where
new tracepoints will not increase the Text. But the big drop is
in the data size (as well as needed allocations to hold the fields).
This will give even more savings as more tracepoints are created.
Note, if just TRACE_EVENT()s are used and not DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS()
with several DEFINE_EVENT()s, then the savings will be lost. But
we are pushing developers to consolidate events with DEFINE_EVENT()
so this should not be an issue.
The kprobes define a unique class to every new event, but are dynamic
so it should not be a issue.
The syscalls however have a single class but the fields for the individual
events are different. The syscalls use a metadata to define the
fields. I moved the fields list from the event to the metadata and
added a "get_fields()" function to the class. This function is used
to find the fields. For normal events and kprobes, get_fields() just
returns a pointer to the fields list_head in the class. For syscall
events, it returns the fields list_head in the metadata for the event.
v2: Fixed the syscall fields. The syscall metadata needs a list
of fields for both enter and exit.

This patch removes the register functions of TRACE_EVENT() to enable
and disable tracepoints. The registering of a event is now down
directly in the trace_events.c file. The tracepoint_probe_register()
is now called directly.
The prototypes are no longer type checked, but this should not be
an issue since the tracepoints are created automatically by the
macros. If a prototype is incorrect in the TRACE_EVENT() macro, then
other macros will catch it.
The trace_event_class structure now holds the probes to be called
by the callbacks. This removes needing to have each event have
a separate pointer for the probe.
To handle kprobes and syscalls, since they register probes in a
different manner, a "reg" field is added to the ftrace_event_class
structure. If the "reg" field is assigned, then it will be called for
enabling and disabling of the probe for either ftrace or perf. To let
the reg function know what is happening, a new enum (trace_reg) is
created that has the type of control that is needed.
With this new rework, the 82 kernel events and 618 syscall events
has their footprint dramatically lowered:

4900252 1057412 861512 6819176 680d68 vmlinux.regs
The size went from 6863829 to 6819176, that's a total of 44K
in savings. With tracepoints being continuously added, this is
critical that the footprint becomes minimal.
v5: Added #ifdef CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS around a reference to perf
specific structure in trace_events.c.
v4: Fixed trace self tests to check probe because regfunc no longer
exists.
v3: Updated to handle void *data in beginning of probe parameters.
Also added the tracepoint: check_trace_callback_type_##call().
v2: Changed the callback probes to pass void * and typecast the
value within the function.

This patch creates a ftrace_event_class struct that event structs point to.
This class struct will be made to hold information to modify the
events. Currently the class struct only holds the events system name.
This patch slightly increases the size, but this change lays the ground work
of other changes to make the footprint of tracepoints smaller.
With 82 standard tracepoints, and 618 system call tracepoints
(two tracepoints per syscall: enter and exit):
