a2a16d6a31 function-graph: add option to calculate graph time or not
graph time is the time that a function is executing another function.
Thus if function A calls B, if graph-time is set, then the time for
A includes B. This is the default behavior. But if graph-time is off,
then the time spent executing B is subtracted from A.

0706f1c48c tracing: adding function timings to function profiler
If the function graph trace is enabled, the function profiler will
use it to take the timing of the functions.

493762fc53 tracing: move function profiler data out of function struct
Impact: reduce size of memory in function profiler

The function profiler originally introduces its counters into the
function records itself. There is 20 thousand different functions on
a normal system, and that is adding 20 thousand counters for profiling
event when not needed.

A normal run of the profiler yields only a couple of thousand functions
executed, depending on what is being profiled. This means we have around
18 thousand useless counters.

This patch rectifies this by moving the data out of the function
records used by dynamic ftrace. Data is preallocated to hold the functions
when the profiling begins. Checks are made during profiling to see if
more recorcds should be allocated, and they are allocated if it is safe
to do so.

This also removes the dependency from using dynamic ftrace, and also
removes the overhead by having it enabled.

bac429f037 tracing: add function profiler
Impact: new profiling feature

This patch adds a function profiler. In debugfs/tracing/ two new
files are created.

  function_profile_enabled  - to enable or disable profiling

  trace_stat/functions   - the profiled functions.

For example:

  echo 1 > /debugfs/tracing/function_profile_enabled
  ./hackbench 50
  echo 0 > /debugfs/tracing/function_profile_enabled

yields:

  cat /debugfs/tracing/trace_stat/functions

  Function                               Hit
  --------                               ---
  _spin_lock                        10106442
  _spin_unlock                      10097492
  kfree                              6013704
  _spin_unlock_irqrestore            4423941
  _spin_lock_irqsave                 4406825
  __phys_addr                        4181686
  __slab_free                        4038222
  dput                               4030130
  path_put                           4023387
  unroll_tree_refs                   4019532
[...]

The most hit functions are listed first. Functions that are not
hit are not listed.

This feature depends on and uses dynamic function tracing. When the
function profiling is disabled, no overhead occurs. But it still
takes up around 300KB to hold the data, thus it is not recomended
to keep it enabled for systems low on memory.

When a '1' is echoed into the function_profile_enabled file, the
counters for is function is reset back to zero. Thus you can see what
functions are hit most by different programs.

8aef2d2856 function-graph: ignore times across schedule

The current method of function graph tracing does not take into
account the time spent when a task is not running. This shows functions
that call schedule have increased costs:

 3) + 18.664 us   |      }
 ------------------------------------------
 3)    <idle>-0    =>  kblockd-123
 ------------------------------------------

 3)               |      finish_task_switch() {

 3)   3.966 us    |      }
 3) ! 2959.433 us |    }
 3) ! 2961.465 us |  }

This patch uses the tracepoint in the scheduling context switch to
account for time that has elapsed while a task is scheduled out.
Now we see:

 ------------------------------------------
 3)    <idle>-0    =>  edac-po-1067

098335215a tracing: fix memory leak in trace_stat
If the function profiler does not have any items recorded and one were
to cat the function stat file, the kernel would take a BUG with a NULL
pointer dereference.

Looking further into this, I found that returning NULL from stat_start
did not stop the stat logic, and would later call stat_next. This breaks
from the way seq_file works, so I looked into fixing the stat code.

This is where I noticed that the last next_entry is never freed.
It is allocated, and if the stat_next returns NULL, the code breaks out
of the loop, unlocks the mutex and exits. We never link the next_entry
nor do we free it. Thus it is a real memory leak.

This patch rearranges the code a bit to not only fix the memory leak,
but also to act more like seq_file where nothing is printed if there
is nothing to print. That is, stat_start returns NULL.

45b9560895 tracing: Fix TRACING_SUPPORT dependency for PPC32
commit 40ada30f96 ("tracing: clean up menu"),
despite the "clean up" in its purpose, introduced a behavioural
change for Kconfig symbols: we no longer able to select tracing
support on PPC32 (because IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT isn't yet implemented).

The IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT is not mandatory for most tracers, tracing core
has a special case for platforms w/o irqflags (which, by the way, has
become useless as of the commit above).

Though according to Ingo Molnar, there was periodic build failures on
weird, unmaintained architectures that had no irqflags-tracing support
and hence didn't know the raw_irqs_save/restore primitives. Thus we'd
better not enable irqflags-less tracing for all architectures.

This patch restores the old behaviour for PPC32, and thus brings the
tracing back. Other architectures can either add themselves to the
exception list or (better) implement TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT.

3e1f60b80c tracing/ftrace: check if debugfs is registered before creating files
Impact: fix a crash with ftrace={nop,boot} parameter

If the nop or initcall tracers are launched as boot tracers,
they will attempt to create their option directory and files.
But these tracers are registered very early and then assigned
as "boot tracers" very early if asked to.

Since they do this before debugfs has been registered (core initcall),
a crash is triggered.

Another early tracers could also come later. So we fix it by
checking if debugfs is initialized before creating the root
tracing directory.

cf586b61f8 tracing/function-graph-tracer: prevent hangs during self-tests
Impact: detect tracing related hangs

Sometimes, with some configs, the function graph tracer can make
the timer interrupt too much slow, hanging the kernel in an endless
loop of timer interrupts servicing.

As suggested by Ingo, this patch brings a watchdog which stops the
selftest after a defined number of functions traced, definitely
disabling this tracer.

For those who want to debug the cause of the function graph trace
hang, you can pass the ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter to dump
the traces after this hang detection.

09c9e84d47 tracing/ring-buffer: don't annotate rb_cpu_notify with __cpuinit
Impact: remove a section warning

CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH raises the following warning on -tip:

  WARNING: kernel/trace/built-in.o(.text+0x5bc5): Section mismatch in
  reference from the function ring_buffer_alloc() to the function
  .cpuinit.text:rb_cpu_notify()
  The function ring_buffer_alloc() references
  the function __cpuinit rb_cpu_notify().

This is actually harmless. The code in the ring buffer don't build
rb_cpu_notify and other cpu hotplug stuffs when !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
so we have no risk to reference freed memory here (it would even
be harmless if we unconditionally build it because register_cpu_notifier
would do nothing when !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.

But since ring_buffer_alloc() can be called everytime, we don't want it
to be annotated with __cpuinit so we drop the __cpuinit from
rb_cpu_notify.

This is not a waste of memory because it is only defined and used on
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.

we know the depth.

last_pid, to a structure that holds both the last_pid and the current
depth. This data is used to determine the function depth for the
printks.

3bf832ce1f tracing/ring-buffer: fix non cpu hotplug case
Impact: fix warning with irqsoff tracer

The ring buffer allocates its buffers on pre-smp time (early_initcall).
It means that, at first, only the boot cpu buffer is allocated and
the ring-buffer cpumask only has the boot cpu set (cpu_online_mask).

Later, the secondary cpu will show up and the ring-buffer will be notified
about this event: the appropriate buffer will be allocated and the cpumask
will be updated.

Unfortunately, if !CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG, the ring-buffer will not be
notified about the secondary cpus, meaning that the cpumask will have
only the cpu boot set, and only one cpu buffer allocated.

We fix that by using cpu_possible_mask if !CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG.

This patch fixes the following warning with irqsoff tracer running:

Because this tracer may try to swap two cpu ring buffers for an
unregistered cpu on the ring buffer.

This patch might also fix a fair loss of traces due to unallocated buffers
for secondary cpus.

During the selftest of irqsoff tracer, we do that:

	/* disable interrupts for a bit */
	local_irq_disable();
	udelay(100);
	local_irq_enable();
	/* stop the tracing. */
	tracing_stop();
	/* check both trace buffers */
	ret = trace_test_buffer(tr, NULL);

If a callsite performs a new max delay with irqs off just after
tracing_stop, update_max_tr_single() -> ring_buffer_swap_cpu()
will be called with the buffers disabled by tracing_stop(), hence
the warning, then ring_buffer_swap_cpu() return -EAGAIN and
update_max_tr_single() complains.

Fix it by also stopping the tracer before stopping the tracing globally.
A similar situation can happen with preemptoff and preemptirqsoff tracers
where we apply the same fix.

2c7eea4c62 tracing: replace the crude (unsigned) -1 hackery
Impact: cleanup

The command line recorder uses (unsigned) -1 to mark non mapped
entries in the pid to command line maps. The validity check is
completely unintuitive: idx >= SAVED_CMDLINES

There is no need for such casting games. Use a constant to mark
unmapped entries and check for that constant to make the code readable
and understandable.

18aecd362a tracing: stop command line recording when tracing is disabled
Impact: prevent overwrite of command line entries

When the tracer is stopped the command line recording continues to
record. The check for tracing_is_on() is not sufficient here as the
ringbuffer status is not affected by setting
debug/tracing/tracing_enabled to 0. On a non idle system this can
result in the loss of the command line information for the stopped
trace, which makes the trace harder to read and analyse.

Check tracer_enabled to allow further recording.

6adaad14d7 tracing: stop comm recording on tracing off
Impact: fix for losing comms in trace

The command lines of tasks are cached at sched switch to not need
to record them at every trace point.  Disabling the tracing on stops
the recording of traces, but does not stop the caching of command lines.
When the tracing is off the cache may overflow and cause the tracing
to show incorrect tasks matching the PIDs.

This patch disables prevents updates to the comm cache when the ring buffer
is off.

Impact: fix to one cause of incorrect comm outputs in trace

The spinlock only protected the creation of a comm <=> pid pair.
But it was possible that a reader could look up a pid, and get the
wrong comm because it had no locking.

This also required changing trace_find_cmdline to copy the comm cache
and not just send back a pointer to it.

This is because in fail case, the preemptirqsoff tracer selftest calls twice
the tracing_start() function:

int
trace_selftest_startup_preemptirqsoff(struct tracer *trace, struct trace_array *tr)
{
        if (!ret && !count) {
                printk(KERN_CONT ".. no entries found ..");
                ret = -1;

        trace->reset(tr);
        tracing_start(); <------
        tracing_max_latency = save_max;

        return ret;
}

Since it is well handled in the out path, we don't need the conditional one.
