Add a method to the hijacked dentry descriptor of the
"instances" directory to allow for rmdir to remove an
instance of a multibuffer.
Example:
cd /debug/tracing/instances
mkdir hello
ls
hello/
rmdir hello
ls
Like the mkdir method, the i_mutex is dropped for the instances
directory. The instances directory is created at boot up and can
not be renamed or removed. The trace_types_lock mutex is used to
synchronize adding and removing of instances.
I've run several stress tests with different threads trying to
create and delete directories of the same name, and it has stood
up fine.

Add the interface ("instances" directory) to add multiple buffers
to ftrace. To create a new instance, simply do a mkdir in the
instances directory:
This will create a directory with the following:
# cd instances
# mkdir foo
# ls foo
buffer_size_kb free_buffer trace_clock trace_pipe
buffer_total_size_kb set_event trace_marker tracing_enabled
events/ trace trace_options tracing_on
Currently only events are able to be set, and there isn't a way
to delete a buffer when one is created (yet).
Note, the i_mutex lock is dropped from the parent "instances"
directory during the mkdir operation. As the "instances" directory
can not be renamed or deleted (created on boot), I do not see
any harm in dropping the lock. The creation of the sub directories
is protected by trace_types_lock mutex, which only lets one
instance get into the code path at a time. If two tasks try to
create or delete directories of the same name, only one will occur
and the other will fail with -EEXIST.

Currently the syscall events record into the global buffer. But if
multiple buffers are in place, then we need to have syscall events
record in the proper buffers.
By adding descriptors to pass to the syscall event functions, the
syscall events can now record into the buffers that have been assigned
to them (one event may be applied to mulitple buffers).
This will allow tracing high volume syscalls along with seldom occurring
syscalls without losing the seldom syscall events.

The global and max-tr currently use static per_cpu arrays for the CPU data
descriptors. But in order to get new allocated trace_arrays, they need to
be allocated per_cpu arrays. Instead of using the static arrays, switch
the global and max-tr to use allocated data.

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.
Also fixed some of the stale comments in include/trace/ftrace.h

The global_trace variable in kernel/trace/trace.c has been kept 'static' and
local to that file so that it would not be used too much outside of that
file. This has paid off, even though there were lots of changes to make
the trace_array structure more generic (not depending on global_trace).
Removal of a lot of direct usages of global_trace is needed to be able to
create more trace_arrays such that we can add multiple buffers.

Both RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS and TRACE_PIPE_ALL_CPU are defined as
-1 and used to say that all the ring buffers are to be modified
or read (instead of just a single cpu, which would be >= 0).
There's no reason to keep TRACE_PIPE_ALL_CPU as it is also started
to be used for more than what it was created for, and now that
the ring buffer code added a generic RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS define,
we can clean up the trace code to use that instead and remove
the TRACE_PIPE_ALL_CPU macro.

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.

The latency tracers require the buffers to be in overwrite mode,
otherwise they get screwed up. Force the buffers to stay in overwrite
mode when latency tracers are enabled.
Added a flag_changed() method to the tracer structure to allow
the tracers to see what flags are being changed, and also be able
to prevent the change from happing.

Changing the overwrite mode for the ring buffer via the trace
option only sets the normal buffer. But the snapshot buffer could
swap with it, and then the snapshot would be in non overwrite mode
and the normal buffer would be in overwrite mode, even though the
option flag states otherwise.
Keep the two buffers overwrite modes in sync.

Seems that the tracer flags have never been protected from
synchronous writes. Luckily, admins don't usually modify the
tracing flags via two different tasks. But if scripts were to
be used to modify them, then they could get corrupted.
Move the trace_types_lock that protects against tracers changing
to also protect the flags being set.

Because function tracing is very invasive, and can even trace
calls to rcu_read_lock(), RCU access in function tracing is done
with preempt_disable_notrace(). This requires a synchronize_sched()
for updates and not a synchronize_rcu().
Function probes (traceon, traceoff, etc) must be freed after
a synchronize_sched() after its entry has been removed from the
hash. But call_rcu() is used. Fix this by using call_rcu_sched().
Also fix the usage to use hlist_del_rcu() instead of hlist_del().

Although the swap is wrapped with a spin_lock, the assignment
of the temp buffer used to swap is not within that lock.
It needs to be moved into that lock, otherwise two swaps
happening on two different CPUs, can end up using the wrong
temp buffer to assign in the swap.
Luckily, all current callers of the swap function appear to have
their own locks. But in case something is added that allows two
different callers to call the swap, then there's a chance that
this race can trigger and corrupt the buffers.
New code is coming soon that will allow for this race to trigger.
I've Cc'd stable, so this bug will not show up if someone backports
one of the changes that can trigger this bug.

To use the tracing snapshot feature, writing a '1' into the snapshot
file causes the snapshot buffer to be allocated if it has not already
been allocated and dose a 'swap' with the main buffer, so that the
snapshot now contains what was in the main buffer, and the main buffer
now writes to what was the snapshot buffer.
To free the snapshot buffer, a '0' is written into the snapshot file.
To clear the snapshot buffer, any number but a '0' or '1' is written
into the snapshot file. But if the file is not allocated it returns
-EINVAL error code. This is rather pointless. It is better just to
do nothing and return success.

When cat'ing the snapshot file, instead of showing an empty trace
header like the trace file does, show how to use the snapshot
feature.
Also, this is a good place to show if the snapshot has been allocated
or not. Users may want to "pre allocate" the snapshot to have a fast
"swap" of the current buffer. Otherwise, a swap would be slow and might
fail as it would need to allocate the snapshot buffer, and that might
fail under tight memory constraints.

# tracer: nop

# * Snapshot is freed *

# echo 0 > snapshot : Clears and frees snapshot buffer
# echo 1 > snapshot : Allocates snapshot buffer, if not already allocated.
# Takes a snapshot of the main buffer.

The prompt to enable DYNAMIC_FTRACE (the ability to nop and
enable function tracing at run time) had a confusing statement:
"enable/disable ftrace tracepoints dynamically"
This was written before tracepoints were added to the kernel,
but now that tracepoints have been added, this is very confusing
and has confused people enough to give wrong information during
presentations.
Not only that, I looked at the help text, and it still references
that dreaded daemon that use to wake up once a second to update
the nop locations and brick NICs, that hasn't been around for over
five years.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of reorganization is going on mostly to prepare for worker pools
with custom attributes so that workqueue can replace custom pool
implementations in places including writeback and btrfs and make CPU
assignment in crypto more flexible.
workqueue evolved from purely per-cpu design and implementation, so
there are a lot of assumptions regarding being bound to CPUs and even
unbound workqueues are implemented as an extension of the model -
workqueues running on the special unbound CPU. Bulk of changes this
round are about promoting worker_pools as the top level abstraction
replacing global_cwq (global cpu workqueue). At this point, I'm
fairly confident about getting custom worker pools working pretty soon
and ready for the next merge window.
Lai's patches are replacing the convoluted mb() dancing workqueue has
been doing with much simpler mechanism which only depends on
assignment atomicity of long. For details, please read the commit
message of 0b3dae68ac ("workqueue: simplify is-work-item-queued-here
test"). While the change ends up adding one pointer to struct
delayed_work, the inflation in percentage is less than five percent
and it decouples delayed_work logic a lot more cleaner from usual work
handling, removes the unusual memory barrier dancing, and allows for
further simplification, so I think the trade-off is acceptable.
There will be two more workqueue related pull requests and there are
some shared commits among them. I'll write further pull requests
assuming this pull request is pulled first."

$ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles}' noploop 1
[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.385 MB perf.data (~16807 samples) ]
$ perf evlist --group
{ref-cycles,cycles}
With this example, default perf report will show you each event
separately.
You can use --group option to enable event group view:
$ perf report --group
...
# group: {ref-cycles,cycles}
# ========
# Samples: 7K of event 'anon group { ref-cycles, cycles }'
# Event count (approx.): 6876107743

# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ................ ....... ................. ..........................

As you can see the Overhead column now contains both of ref-cycles
and cycles and header line shows group information also - 'anon
group { ref-cycles, cycles }'. The output is sorted by period of
group leader first.

"The biggest changes are the IRQ-work and printk changes from Frederic
Weisbecker, which prepare the code for 'full dynticks' (the ability to
stop or slow down the periodic tick arbitrarily, not just in idle time
as today):
- Don't stop tick with irq works pending. This fix is generally
useful and concerns archs that can't raise self IPIs.
- Flush irq works before CPU offlining.
- Introduce "lazy" irq works that can wait for the next tick to be
executed, unless it's stopped.
- Implement klogd wake up using irq work. This removes the ad-hoc
printk_tick()/printk_needs_cpu() hooks and make it working even in
dynticks mode.

delayed_work_timer_fn() only for GPL modules. This makes delayed-works
unusable for non-GPL modules, because initialization macro now requires

Commit: c1bf08ac "ftrace: Be first to run code modification on modules"
changed ftrace module notifier's priority to INT_MAX in order to
process the ftrace nops before anything else could touch them
(namely kprobes). This was the correct thing to do.
Unfortunately, the ftrace module notifier also contains the ftrace
clean up code. As opposed to the set up code, this code should be
run *after* all the module notifiers have run in case a module is doing
correct clean-up and unregisters its ftrace hooks. Basically, ftrace
needs to do clean up on module removal, as it needs to know about code
being removed so that it doesn't try to modify that code. But after it
removes the module from its records, if a ftrace user tries to remove
a probe, that removal will fail due as the record of that code segment
no longer exists.
Nothing really bad happens if the probe removal is called after ftrace
did the clean up, but the ftrace removal function will return an error.
Correct code (such as kprobes) will produce a WARN_ON() if it fails
to remove the probe. As people get annoyed by frivolous warnings, it's
best to do the ftrace clean up after everything else.
By splitting the ftrace_module_notifier into two notifiers, one that
does the module load setup that is run at high priority, and the other
that is called for module clean up that is run at low priority, the
problem is solved.

Commit c060f943d0 ("mm: use aligned zone start for pfn_to_bitidx
calculation") fixed out calculation of the index into the pageblock
bitmap when a !SPARSEMEM zome was not aligned to pageblock_nr_pages.
However, the _allocation_ of that bitmap had never taken this alignment
requirement into accout, so depending on the exact size and alignment of
the zone, the use of that index could then access past the allocation,
resulting in some very subtle memory corruption.
This was reported (and bisected) by Ingo Molnar: one of his random
config builds would hang with certain very specific kernel command line
options.
In the meantime, commit c060f943d0 has been marked for stable, so this
fix needs to be back-ported to the stable kernels that backported the
commit to use the right alignment.

On AMD family 15h processors, there are 4 new performance
counters (in addition to 6 core performance counters) that can
be used for counting northbridge events (i.e. DRAM accesses).
Their bit fields are almost identical to the core performance
counters. However, unlike the core performance counters, these
MSRs are shared between multiple cores (that share the same
northbridge).
We will reuse the same code path as existing family 10h
northbridge event constraints handler logic to enforce
this sharing.

x86/xen: don't assume %ds is usable in xen_iret for 32-bit PVOPS.
As reported by Klaus Schmidinger:
"In VDR I use an ioctl() call with FE_READ_UNCORRECTED_BLOCKS on a
device (using stb0899). After this call I check 'errno' for
EOPNOTSUPP to determine whether this device supports this call. This
used to work just fine, until a few months ago I noticed that my
devices using stb0899 didn't display their signal quality in VDR's OSD
any more. After further investigation I found that
ioctl(FE_READ_UNCORRECTED_BLOCKS) no longer returns EOPNOTSUPP, but
rather ENOTTY. And since I stop getting the signal quality in case
any unknown errno value appears, this broke my signal quality query
function."
While the changes reflect what is there at:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1235728
it does cause regression on userspace. So, revert it to stop the
damage.
This reverts commit 177ffe506c ("[media] dvb_frontend: return -ENOTTY
