fb7ae981cb tracing: Fix sign fields in ftrace_define_fields_##call()
Add is_signed_type() call to trace_define_field() in ftrace macros.

The code previously just passed in 0 (false), disregarding whether
or not the field was actually a signed type.

79b4082108 tracing/kprobe: Show sign of fields in trace_kprobe format files
The format files of trace_kprobe do not show the sign of the fields.
The other format files show the field signed type of the fields and
this patch makes the trace_kprobe formats consistent with the others.

53ab668064 ksym_tracer: Remove trace_stat
trace_stat is problematic. Don't use it, use seqfile instead.

This fixes a race that reading the stat file is not protected by
any lock, which can lead to use after free.

ksym tracer doesn't work:

It's because we pass to perf_event_create_kernel_counter()

c757bea93b tracing: Fix setting tracer specific options
The function __set_tracer_option() takes as its last parameter a
"neg" value. If set it should negate the value of the option.

The trace_options_write() passed the value written to the file
which is what the new value needs to be set as. But since this
is not the negative, it never sets the value.

313254a940 ftrace: Call trace_parser_clear() properly
I found a weird behavior:

  # echo 'fuse:*' > set_ftrace_filter
  bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
  # cat set_ftrace_filter
  fuse_dev_fasync
  fuse_dev_poll
  fuse_copy_do

We should call trace_parser_clear() no matter ftrace_process_regex()
returns 0 or -errno, otherwise we will actually take the unaccepted
records from ftrace_regex_release().

3b8e427381 tracing: Move a printk out of ftrace_raw_reg_event_foo()
Move the printk from each ftrace_raw_reg_event_foo() to

regfunc trace event callbacks to handle a same error report
that can be carried from the caller.

87d9b4e1c5 tracing: Extract duplicate ftrace_raw_init_event_foo()
Use a generic trace_event_raw_init() function for all event's raw_init
callbacks (but kprobes) instead of defining the same version for each
of these.
This shrinks the kernel code:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5355293 1961928 7103260 14420481         dc0a01 vmlinux.o.old
5346802 1961864 7103260 14411926         dbe896 vmlinux.o

raw_init can't be removed, because ftrace events and kprobe events
use different raw_init callbacks. Though it's possible to totally
remove raw_init, I choose to leave it as it is for now.

cc51a0fca6 tracing: Add stack trace to irqsoff tracer
The irqsoff and friends tracers help in finding causes of latency in the
kernel. The also work with the function tracer to show what was happening
when interrupts or preemption are disabled. But the function tracer has
a bit of an overhead and can cause exagerated readings.

Currently, when tracing with /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled = 0, where the
function tracer is disabled, the information that is provided can end up
being useless. For example, a 2 and a half millisecond latency only showed:

 # tracer: preemptirqsoff
 #
 # preemptirqsoff latency trace v1.1.5 on 2.6.32
 # --------------------------------------------------------------------
 # latency: 2463 us, #4/4, CPU#2 | (M:preempt VP:0, KP:0, SP:0 HP:0 #P:4)
 #    -----------------
 #    | task: -4242 (uid:0 nice:0 policy:0 rt_prio:0)

 hackbenc-4242    2...1. 2466us : trace_preempt_on <-remove_wait_queue

The above lets us know that hackbench with pid 2463 grabbed a spin lock
somewhere and enabled preemption at remove_wait_queue. This helps a little
but where this actually happened is not informative.

This patch adds the stack dump to the end of the irqsoff tracer. This provides
the following output:

 hackbenc-4242    2d....    0us!: trace_hardirqs_off <-_spin_lock_irqsave
 hackbenc-4242    2...1. 2463us+: _spin_unlock_irqrestore <-remove_wait_queue
 hackbenc-4242    2...1. 2466us : trace_preempt_on <-remove_wait_queue
 hackbenc-4242    2...1. 2467us : <stack trace>
  => sub_preempt_count
  => _spin_unlock_irqrestore
  => remove_wait_queue
  => free_poll_entry
  => poll_freewait
  => do_sys_poll
  => sys_poll
  => system_call_fastpath

Now we see that the culprit of this latency was the free_poll_entry code.

03889384ce tracing: Add trace_dump_stack()
I've been asked a few times about how to find out what is calling
some location in the kernel. One way is to use dynamic function tracing
and implement the func_stack_trace. But this only finds out who is
calling a particular function. It does not tell you who is calling
that function and entering a specific if conditional.

I have myself implemented a quick version of trace_dump_stack() for
this purpose a few times, and just needed it now. This is when I realized
that this would be a good tool to have in the kernel like trace_printk().

Using trace_dump_stack() is similar to dump_stack() except that it
writes to the trace buffer instead and can be used in critical locations.

For example:

@@ -5485,8 +5485,12 @@ need_resched_nonpreemptible:
 	if (prev->state && !(preempt_count() & PREEMPT_ACTIVE)) {
 		if (unlikely(signal_pending_state(prev->state, prev)))
 			prev->state = TASK_RUNNING;
-		else
+		else {
 			deactivate_task(rq, prev, 1);
+			trace_printk("Deactivating task %s:%d\n",
+				     prev->comm, prev->pid);
+			trace_dump_stack();
+		}
 		switch_count = &prev->nvcsw;
 	}

Produces:

           <...>-3249  [001]   296.105269: schedule: Deactivating task ntpd:3249
           <...>-3249  [001]   296.105270: <stack trace>

7f8b7ed6f8 kgdb: Always process the whole breakpoint list on activate or deactivate
This patch fixes 2 edge cases in using kgdb in conjunction with gdb.

1) kgdb_deactivate_sw_breakpoints() should process the entire array of
   breakpoints.  The failure to do so results in breakpoints that you
   cannot remove, because a break point can only be removed if its
   state flag is set to BP_SET.

   The easy way to duplicate this problem is to plant a break point in
   a kernel module and then unload the kernel module.

2) kgdb_activate_sw_breakpoints() should process the entire array of
   breakpoints.  The failure to do so results in missed breakpoints
   when a breakpoint cannot be activated.

d625e9c0d7 kgdb: continue and warn on signal passing from gdb
On some architectures for the segv trap, gdb wants to pass the signal
back on continue.  For kgdb this is not the default behavior, because
it can cause the kernel to crash if you arbitrarily pass back a
exception outside of kgdb.

Instead of causing instability, pass a message back to gdb about the
supported kgdb signal passing and execute a standard kgdb continue
operation.

028e7b1759 kgdb: allow for cpu switch when single stepping
The kgdb core should not assume that a single step operation of a
kernel thread will complete on the same CPU.  The single step flag is
set at the "thread" level and it is possible in a multi cpu system
that a kernel thread can get scheduled on another cpu the next time it
is run.

As a further safety net in case a slave cpu is hung, the debug master
cpu will try 100 times before giving up and assuming control of the
slave cpus is no longer possible.  It is more useful to be able to get
some information out of kgdb instead of spinning forever.

dd7f594357 ring-buffer: Move resize integrity check under reader lock
While using an application that does splice on the ftrace ring
buffer at start up, I triggered an integrity check failure.

Looking into this, I discovered that resizing the buffer performs
an integrity check after the buffer is resized. This check unfortunately
is preformed after it releases the reader lock. If a reader is
reading the buffer it may cause the integrity check to trigger a
false failure.

This patch simply moves the integrity checker under the protection
of the ring buffer reader lock.

184210154b ring-buffer: Use sync sched protection on ring buffer resizing
There was a comment in the ring buffer code that says the calling
layers should prevent tracing or reading of the ring buffer while
resizing. I have discovered that the tracers do not honor this
arrangement.

This patch moves the disabling and synchronizing the ring buffer to
a higher layer during resizing. This guarantees that no writes
are occurring while the resize takes place.

d954fbf0ff tracing: Fix wrong usage of strstrip in trace_ksyms
strstrip returns a pointer to the first non space character, but the
code in parse_ksym_trace_str() ignores that.

strstrip is now must_check and therefor we get the correct warning:
kernel/trace/trace_ksym.c:294: warning:
ignoring return value of ‘strstrip’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result

We are really not interested in leading whitespace here.

Fix that and cleanup the dozen kfree() exit pathes.

friends visible to the rest of the kernel. So move all of them to
hrtimer.c.  Also make timer_stats_hrtimer_set_start_info a static

41d2e49493 hrtimer: Tune hrtimer_interrupt hang logic
The hrtimer_interrupt hang logic adjusts min_delta_ns based on the
execution time of the hrtimer callbacks.

This is error-prone for virtual machines, where a guest vcpu can be
scheduled out during the execution of the callbacks (and the callbacks
themselves can do operations that translate to blocking operations in
the hypervisor), which in can lead to large min_delta_ns rendering the
system unusable.

Replace the current heuristics with something more reliable. Allow the
interrupt code to try 3 times to catch up with the lost time. If that
fails use the total time spent in the interrupt handler to defer the
next timer interrupt so the system can catch up with other things
which got delayed. Limit that deferment to 100ms.

The retry events and the maximum time spent in the interrupt handler
are recorded and exposed via /proc/timer_list

Inspired by a patch from Marcelo.
