The ring-buffer code has recusion protection in case tracing ends up tracing
itself, the ring-buffer will detect that it was called at the same context
(normal, softirq, interrupt or NMI), and not continue to record the event.
With the histogram synthetic events, they are called while tracing another
event at the same context. The recusion protection triggers because it
detects tracing at the same context and stops it.
Add ring_buffer_nest_start() and ring_buffer_nest_end() that will notify the
ring buffer that a trace is about to happen within another trace and that it
is intended, and not to trigger the recursion blocking.

The default clock if timestamps are used in a histogram is "global".
If timestamps aren't used, the clock is irrelevant.

Add an 'onmax(var).save(field,...)' hist trigger action which is
invoked whenever an event exceeds the current maximum.
The end result is that the trace event fields or variables specified
as the onmax.save() params will be saved if 'var' exceeds the current
maximum for that hist trigger entry. This allows context from the
event that exhibited the new maximum to be saved for later reference.
When the histogram is displayed, additional fields displaying the
saved values will be printed.
As an example the below defines a couple of hist triggers, one for
sched_wakeup and another for sched_switch, keyed on pid. Whenever a
sched_wakeup occurs, the timestamp is saved in the entry corresponding
to the current pid, and when the scheduler switches back to that pid,
the timestamp difference is calculated. If the resulting latency
exceeds the current maximum latency, the specified save() values are
saved:
# echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs \
if comm=="cyclictest"' >> \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/trigger
# echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:\
wakeup_lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0:\
onmax($wakeup_lat).save(next_comm,prev_pid,prev_prio,prev_comm) \
if next_comm=="cyclictest"' >> \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
When the histogram is displayed, the max value and the saved values
corresponding to the max are displayed following the rest of the
fields:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/hist
{ next_pid: 3728 } hitcount: 199 \

Add an 'onmatch(matching.event).<synthetic_event_name>(param list)'
hist trigger action which is invoked with the set of variables or
event fields named in the 'param list'. The result is the generation
of a synthetic event that consists of the values contained in those
variables and/or fields at the time the invoking event was hit.
As an example the below defines a simple synthetic event using a
variable defined on the sched_wakeup_new event, and shows the event
definition with unresolved fields, since the sched_wakeup_new event
with the testpid variable hasn't been defined yet:
# echo 'wakeup_new_test pid_t pid; int prio' >> \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events
wakeup_new_test pid_t pid; int prio
The following hist trigger both defines a testpid variable and
specifies an onmatch() trace action that uses that variable along with
a non-variable field to generate a wakeup_new_test synthetic event
whenever a sched_wakeup_new event occurs, which because of the 'if
comm == "cyclictest"' filter only happens when the executable is
cyclictest:
# echo 'hist:testpid=pid:keys=$testpid:\
onmatch(sched.sched_wakeup_new).wakeup_new_test($testpid, prio) \
if comm=="cyclictest"' >> \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup_new/trigger
Creating and displaying a histogram based on those events is now just
a matter of using the fields and new synthetic event in the
tracing/events/synthetic directory, as usual:
# echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio:sort=pid,prio' >> \

Users should be able to directly specify event fields in hist trigger
'actions' rather than being forced to explicitly create a variable for
that purpose.
Add support allowing fields to be used directly in actions, which
essentially does just that - creates 'invisible' variables for each
bare field specified in an action. If a bare field refers to a field
on another (matching) event, it even creates a special histogram for
the purpose (since variables can't be defined on an existing histogram
after histogram creation).
Here's a simple example that demonstrates both. Basically the
onmatch() action creates a list of variables corresponding to the
parameters of the synthetic event to be generated, and then uses those
values to generate the event. So for the wakeup_latency synthetic
event 'call' below the first param, $wakeup_lat, is a variable defined
explicitly on sched_switch, where 'next_pid' is just a normal field on
sched_switch, and prio is a normal field on sched_waking.
Since the mechanism works on variables, those two normal fields just
have 'invisible' variables created internally for them. In the case of
'prio', which is on another event, we actually need to create an
additional hist trigger and define the invisible variable on that, since
once a hist trigger is defined, variables can't be added to it later.

Synthetic events are user-defined events generated from hist trigger
variables saved from one or more other events.
To define a synthetic event, the user writes a simple specification
consisting of the name of the new event along with one or more
variables and their type(s), to the tracing/synthetic_events file.
For instance, the following creates a new event named 'wakeup_latency'
with 3 fields: lat, pid, and prio:
# echo 'wakeup_latency u64 lat; pid_t pid; int prio' >> \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events
Reading the tracing/synthetic_events file lists all the
currently-defined synthetic events, in this case the event we defined
above:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events
wakeup_latency u64 lat; pid_t pid; int prio
At this point, the synthetic event is ready to use, and a histogram
can be defined using it:
# echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio,lat.log2:sort=pid,lat' >> \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/synthetic/wakeup_latency/trigger
The new event is created under the tracing/events/synthetic/ directory
and looks and behaves just like any other event:
# ls /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/synthetic/wakeup_latency
enable filter format hist id trigger
Although a histogram can be defined for it, nothing will happen until
an action tracing that event via the trace_synth() function occurs.
The trace_synth() function is very similar to all the other trace_*
invocations spread throughout the kernel, except in this case the
trace_ function and its corresponding tracepoint isn't statically
generated but defined by the user at run-time.
How this can be automatically hooked up via a hist trigger 'action' is
discussed in a subsequent patch.

Add the necessary infrastructure to allow the variables defined on one

previous event to be referenced and used in expressions combining the
variable values saved by that previous event and the event fields of
the current event. For example, here's how a latency can be
calculated and saved into yet another variable named 'wakeup_lat':
# echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio:ts0=common_timestamp ...
# echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp-$ts0 ...
In the first event, the event's timetamp is saved into the variable
ts0. In the next line, ts0 is subtracted from the second event's
timestamp to produce the latency.
Further users of variable references will be described in subsequent
patches, such as for instance how the 'wakeup_lat' variable above can
be displayed in a latency histogram.

The basic syntax for saving a variable is to simply prefix a unique
variable name not corresponding to any keyword along with an '=' sign
to any event field.
Both keys and values can be saved and retrieved in this way:
# echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:vals=$ts0:ts0=common_timestamp ...
# echo 'hist:timer_pid=common_pid:key=$timer_pid ...'
If a variable isn't a key variable or prefixed with 'vals=', the
associated event field will be saved in a variable but won't be summed
as a value:
# echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:ts1=common_timestamp:...
Multiple variables can be assigned at the same time:
# echo 'hist:keys=pid:vals=$ts0,$b,field2:ts0=common_timestamp,b=field1 ...
Multiple (or single) variables can also be assigned at the same time
using separate assignments:
# echo 'hist:keys=pid:vals=$ts0:ts0=common_timestamp:b=field1:c=field2 ...
Variables set as above can be used by being referenced from another

Add support for a timestamp event field. This is actually a 'pseudo-'
event field in that it behaves like it's part of the event record, but
is really part of the corresponding ring buffer event.
To make use of the timestamp field, users can specify
"common_timestamp" as a field name for any histogram. Note that this
doesn't make much sense on its own either as either a key or value,
but needs to be supported even so, since follow-on patches will add
support for making use of this field in time deltas. The
common_timestamp 'field' is not a bona fide event field - so you won't
find it in the event description - but rather it's a synthetic field
that can be used like a real field.
Note that the use of this field requires the ring buffer be put into
'absolute timestamp' mode, which saves the complete timestamp for each
event rather than an offset. This mode will be enabled if and only if
a histogram makes use of the "common_timestamp" field.

RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP is defined but not used, and from what I can
gather was reserved for something like an absolute timestamp feature
for the ring buffer, if not a complete replacement of the current
time_delta scheme.
This code redefines RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP to implement absolute time
stamps. Another way to look at it is that it essentially forces
extended time_deltas for all events.
The motivation for doing this is to enable time_deltas that aren't
dependent on previous events in the ring buffer, making it feasible to
use the ring_buffer_event timetamps in a more random-access way, for
purposes other than serial event printing.
To set/reset this mode, use tracing_set_timestamp_abs() from the

A duplicate in the tracing_map hash table is when 2 different entries
have the same key and, as a result, the key_hash. This is possible due
to a race condition in the algorithm. This race condition is inherent to
the algorithm and not a bug. This was fine because, until now, we were
only interested in the sum of all the values related to a particular
key (the duplicates are dealt with in tracing_map_sort_entries()). But,
with the inclusion of variables[1], we are interested in individual
values. So, it will not be clear what value to choose when
there are duplicates. So, the duplicates need to be removed.
The duplicates can occur in the code in the following scenarios:
- A thread is in the process of adding a new element. It has
successfully executed cmpxchg() and inserted the key. But, it is still
not done acquiring the trace_map_elt struct, populating it and storing
the pointer to the struct in the value field of tracing_map hash table.
If another thread comes in at this time and wants to add an element with
the same key, it will not see the current element and add a new one.
- There are multiple threads trying to execute cmpxchg at the same time,
one of the threads will succeed and the others will fail. The ones which
fail will go ahead increment 'idx' and add a new element there creating
a duplicate.
This patch detects and avoids the first condition by asking the thread
which detects the duplicate to loop one more time. There is also a
possibility of infinite loop if the thread which is trying to insert
goes to sleep indefinitely and the one which is trying to insert a new
element detects a duplicate. Which is why, the thread loops for
map_size iterations before returning NULL.
The second scenario is avoided by preventing the threads which failed
cmpxchg() from incrementing idx. This way, they will loop
around and check if the thread which succeeded in executing cmpxchg()
had the same key.

- Switch refcount WARN exceptions to UD2 as we did in general
- Make the reboot on Intel Edison platforms work

"Three fixes related to melted spectrum:
- Sync the cpu_entry_area page table to initial_page_table on 32 bit.
Otherwise suspend/resume fails because resume uses
initial_page_table and triggers a triple fault when accessing the

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
"A 4.16 regression fix, three fixes for -stable, and a cleanup fix:
- During the merge window support for the new ACPI NVDIMM Platform
Capabilities structure disabled support for "deep flush", a
force-unit- access like mechanism for persistent memory. Restore
that mechanism.
- VFIO like RDMA is yet one more memory registration / pinning
interface that is incompatible with Filesystem-DAX. Disable long
term pins of Filesystem-DAX mappings via VFIO.
- The Filesystem-DAX detection to prevent long terms pins mistakenly
also disabled Device-DAX pins which are not subject to the same
block- map collision concerns.
- Similar to the setup path, softlockup warnings can trigger in the
shutdown path for large persistent memory namespaces. Teach
for_each_device_pfn() to perform cond_resched() in all cases.
- Boaz noticed that the might_sleep() in dax_direct_access() is stale
as of the v4.15 kernel.
These have received a build success notification from the 0day robot,
and the longterm pin fixes have appeared in -next. However, I recently
rebased the tree to remove some other fixes that need to be reworked
after review feedback.
