e7c15cd8a1 tracing: Added hardware latency tracer
The hardware latency tracer has been in the PREEMPT_RT patch for some time.
It is used to detect possible SMIs or any other hardware interruptions that
the kernel is unaware of. Note, NMIs may also be detected, but that may be
good to note as well.

The logic is pretty simple. It simply creates a thread that spins on a
single CPU for a specified amount of time (width) within a periodic window
(window). These numbers may be adjusted by their cooresponding names in

   /sys/kernel/tracing/hwlat_detector/

The defaults are window = 1000000 us (1 second)
                 width  =  500000 us (1/2 second)

The loop consists of:

	t1 = trace_clock_local();
	t2 = trace_clock_local();

Where trace_clock_local() is a variant of sched_clock().

The difference of t2 - t1 is recorded as the "inner" timestamp and also the
timestamp  t1 - prev_t2 is recorded as the "outer" timestamp. If either of
these differences are greater than the time denoted in
/sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_thresh then it records the event.

When this tracer is started, and tracing_thresh is zero, it changes to the
default threshold of 10 us.

The hwlat tracer in the PREEMPT_RT patch was originally written by
Jon Masters. I have modified it quite a bit and turned it into a
tracer.

7e6867bf83 tracing: Record and show NMI state
The latency tracer format has a nice column to indicate IRQ state, but
this is not able to tell us about NMI state.

When tracing perf interrupt handlers (which often run in NMI context)
it is very useful to see how the events nest.

983f938ae6 tracing: Move trace_flags from global to a trace_array field
In preparation to make trace options per instance, the global trace_flags
needs to be moved from being a global variable to a field within the trace
instance trace_array structure.

There's still more work to do, as there's some functions that use
trace_flags without passing in a way to get to the current_trace array. For
those, the global_trace is used directly (from trace.c). This includes
setting and clearing the trace_flags. This means that when a new instance is
created, it just gets the trace_flags of the global_trace and will not be
able to modify them. Depending on the functions that have access to the
trace_array, the flags of an instance may not affect parts of its trace,
where the global_trace is used. These will be fixed in future changes.

b838e1d96c tracing: Introduce two additional marks for delay
A fine granulity support for delay would be very useful when profiling
VM logics, such as page allocation including page reclaim and memory
compaction with function graph.

Thus, this patch adds two additional marks with two changes.

 - An equal sign in mark selection function is removed to align code
   behavior with comments and documentation.

 - The function graph example related to delay in ftrace.txt is updated
   to cover all supported marks.

6ea22486ba tracing: Add array printing helper
If a trace event contains an array, there is currently no standard
way to format this for text output.  Drivers are currently hacking
around this by a) local hacks that use the trace_seq functionailty
directly, or b) just not printing that information.  For fixed size
arrays, formatting of the elements can be open-coded, but this gets
cumbersome for arrays of non-trivial size.

These approaches result in non-standard content of the event format
description delivered to userspace, so userland tools needs to be
taught to understand and parse each array printing method
individually.

This patch implements a __print_array() helper that tracepoint
implementations can use instead of reinventing it.  A simple C-style
syntax is used to delimit the array and its elements {like,this}.

So that the helpers can be used with large static arrays as well as
dynamic arrays, they take a pointer and element count: they can be
used with __get_dynamic_array() for use with dynamic arrays.

8e1e1df29d tracing: Add additional marks to signal very large time deltas
Currently, function graph tracer prints "!" or "+" just before
function execution time to signal a function overhead, depending
on the time. And some tracers tracing latency also print "!" or
"+" just after time to signal overhead, depending on the interval
between events. Even it is usually enough to do that, we sometimes
need to signal for bigger execution time than 100 micro seconds.

For example, I used function graph tracer to detect if there is
any case that exit_mm() takes too much time. I did following steps
in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing. It was easier to detect very large
excution time with patched kernel than with original kernel.

$ echo exit_mm > set_graph_function
$ echo function_graph > current_tracer
$ echo > trace
$ cat trace_pipe > $LOGFILE
 ... (do something and terminate logging)
$ grep "\\$" $LOGFILE
 3) $ 22082032 us |                      } /* kernel_map_pages */
 3) $ 22082040 us |                    } /* free_pages_prepare */
 3) $ 22082113 us |                  } /* free_hot_cold_page */
 3) $ 22083455 us |                } /* free_hot_cold_page_list */
 3) $ 22083895 us |              } /* release_pages */
 3) $ 22177873 us |            } /* free_pages_and_swap_cache */
 3) $ 22178929 us |          } /* unmap_single_vma */
 3) $ 22198885 us |        } /* unmap_vmas */
 3) $ 22206949 us |      } /* exit_mmap */
 3) $ 22207659 us |    } /* mmput */
 3) $ 22207793 us |  } /* exit_mm */

And then, it was easy to find out that a schedule-out occured by
sub_preempt_count() within kernel_map_pages().

To detect very large function exection time caused by either problematic
function implementation or scheduling issues, this patch can be useful.

8e2e095cbe tracing: Fix return value of ftrace_raw_output_prep()
If the trace_seq of ftrace_raw_output_prep() is full this function
returns TRACE_TYPE_PARTIAL_LINE, otherwise it returns zero.

The problem is that TRACE_TYPE_PARTIAL_LINE happens to be zero!

The thing is, the caller of ftrace_raw_output_prep() expects a
success to be zero. Change that to expect it to be
TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED.

19a7fe2062 tracing: Add trace_seq_has_overflowed() and trace_handle_return()
Adding a trace_seq_has_overflowed() which returns true if the trace_seq
had too much written into it allows us to simplify the code.

Instead of checking the return value of every call to trace_seq_printf()
and friends, they can all be called normally, and at the end we can
return !trace_seq_has_overflowed() instead.

Several functions also return TRACE_TYPE_PARTIAL_LINE when the trace_seq
overflowed and TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED otherwise. Another helper function
was created called trace_handle_return() which takes a trace_seq and
returns these enums. Using this helper function also simplifies the
code.

This change also makes it possible to remove the return values of
trace_seq_printf() and friends. They should instead just be
void functions.

4449bf927b tracing: Add __bitmask() macro to trace events to cpumasks and other bitmasks
Being able to show a cpumask of events can be useful as some events
may affect only some CPUs. There is no standard way to record the
cpumask and converting it to a string is rather expensive during
the trace as traces happen in hotpaths. It would be better to record
the raw event mask and be able to parse it at print time.

The following macros were added for use with the TRACE_EVENT() macro:

  __bitmask()
  __assign_bitmask()
  __get_bitmask()

To test this, I added this to the sched_migrate_task event, which
looked like this:

TRACE_EVENT(sched_migrate_task,

	TP_PROTO(struct task_struct *p, int dest_cpu, const struct cpumask *cpus),

	TP_ARGS(p, dest_cpu, cpus),

	TP_STRUCT__entry(
		__array(	char,	comm,	TASK_COMM_LEN	)
		__field(	pid_t,	pid			)
		__field(	int,	prio			)
		__field(	int,	orig_cpu		)
		__field(	int,	dest_cpu		)
		__bitmask(	cpumask, num_possible_cpus()	)
	),

	TP_fast_assign(
		memcpy(__entry->comm, p->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN);
		__entry->pid		= p->pid;
		__entry->prio		= p->prio;
		__entry->orig_cpu	= task_cpu(p);
		__entry->dest_cpu	= dest_cpu;
		__assign_bitmask(cpumask, cpumask_bits(cpus), num_possible_cpus());
	),

	TP_printk("comm=%s pid=%d prio=%d orig_cpu=%d dest_cpu=%d cpumask=%s",
		  __entry->comm, __entry->pid, __entry->prio,
		  __entry->orig_cpu, __entry->dest_cpu,
		  __get_bitmask(cpumask))
);

With the output of:

        ksmtuned-3613  [003] d..2   485.220508: sched_migrate_task: comm=ksmtuned pid=3615 prio=120 orig_cpu=3 dest_cpu=2 cpumask=00000000,0000000f

de7b297390 tracepoint: Use struct pointer instead of name hash for reg/unreg tracepoints
Register/unregister tracepoint probes with struct tracepoint pointer
rather than tracepoint name.

This change, which vastly simplifies tracepoint.c, has been proposed by
Steven Rostedt. It also removes 8.8kB (mostly of text) to the vmlinux
size.

From this point on, the tracers need to pass a struct tracepoint pointer
to probe register/unregister. A probe can now only be connected to a
tracepoint that exists. Moreover, tracers are responsible for
unregistering the probe before the module containing its associated
tracepoint is unloaded.

bc4c426ee2 Revert "tracing: Move event storage for array from macro to standalone function"
I originally wrote commit 35bb4399bd to shrink the size of the overhead of
tracepoints by several kilobytes. Later, I received a patch from Vaibhav
Nagarnaik that fixed a bug in the same code that this commit touches. Not
only did it fix a bug, it also removed code and shrunk the size of the
overhead of trace events even more than this commit did.

Since this commit is scheduled for 3.15 and Vaibhav's patch is already in
mainline, I need to revert this patch in order to keep it from conflicting
with Vaibhav's patch. Not to mention, Vaibhav's patch makes this patch
obsolete.

35bb4399bd tracing: Move event storage for array from macro to standalone function
The code that shows array fields for events is defined for all events.
This can add up quite a bit when you have over 500 events.

By making helper functions in the core kernel to do the work
instead, we can shrink the size of the kernel down a bit.

With a kernel configured with 502 events, the change in size was:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
12990946        1913568 9785344 24689858        178bcc2 /tmp/vmlinux
12987390        1913504 9785344 24686238        178ae9e /tmp/vmlinux.patched

That's a total of 3556 bytes, which comes down to 7 bytes per event.
Although it's not much, this code is just called at initialization of
the events.

1d6bae966e tracing: Move raw output code from macro to standalone function
The code for trace events to format the raw recorded event data
into human readable format in the 'trace' file is repeated for every
event in the system. When you have over 500 events, this can add up
quite a bit.

By making helper functions in the core kernel to do the work
instead, we can shrink the size of the kernel down a bit.

With a kernel configured with 502 events, the change in size was:

12990946        1913568 9785344 24689858        178bcc2 /tmp/vmlinux.patched

Note, this version does not save as much as the version of this patch
I had a few years ago. That is because in the mean time, commit
f71130de5c ("tracing: Add a helper function for event print functions")
did a lot of the work my original patch did. But this change helps
slightly, and is part of a larger clean up to reduce the size much further.

9e8529afc4 Tracing updates for Linux 3.10
Along with the usual minor fixes and clean ups there are a few major
 changes with this pull request.
 
 1) Multiple buffers for the ftrace facility
 
 This feature has been requested by many people over the last few years.
 I even heard that Google was about to implement it themselves. I finally
 had time and cleaned up the code such that you can now create multiple
 instances of the ftrace buffer and have different events go to different
 buffers. This way, a low frequency event will not be lost in the noise
 of a high frequency event.
 
 Note, currently only events can go to different buffers, the tracers
 (ie. function, function_graph and the latency tracers) still can only
 be written to the main buffer.
 
 2) The function tracer triggers have now been extended.
 
 The function tracer had two triggers. One to enable tracing when a
 function is hit, and one to disable tracing. Now you can record a
 stack trace on a single (or many) function(s), take a snapshot of the
 buffer (copy it to the snapshot buffer), and you can enable or disable
 an event to be traced when a function is hit.
 
 3) A perf clock has been added.
 
 A "perf" clock can be chosen to be used when tracing. This will cause
 ftrace to use the same clock as perf uses, and hopefully this will make
 it easier to interleave the perf and ftrace data for analysis.

09ae72348e tracing: Add trace_puts() for even faster trace_printk() tracing
The trace_printk() is extremely fast and is very handy as it can be
used in any context (including NMIs!). But it still requires scanning
the fmt string for parsing the args. Even the trace_bprintk() requires
a scan to know what args will be saved, although it doesn't copy the
format string itself.

Several times trace_printk() has no args, and wastes cpu cycles scanning
the fmt string.

Adding trace_puts() allows the developer to use an even faster
tracing method that only saves the pointer to the string in the
ring buffer without doing any format parsing at all. This will
help remove even more of the "Heisenbug" effect, when debugging.

Also fixed up the F_printk()s for the ftrace internal bprint and print events.

12883efb67 tracing: Consolidate max_tr into main trace_array structure
Currently, the way the latency tracers and snapshot feature works
is to have a separate trace_array called "max_tr" that holds the
snapshot buffer. For latency tracers, this snapshot buffer is used
to swap the running buffer with this buffer to save the current max
latency.

The only items needed for the max_tr is really just a copy of the buffer
itself, the per_cpu data pointers, the time_start timestamp that states
when the max latency was triggered, and the cpu that the max latency
was triggered on. All other fields in trace_array are unused by the
max_tr, making the max_tr mostly bloat.

This change removes the max_tr completely, and adds a new structure
called trace_buffer, that holds the buffer pointer, the per_cpu data
pointers, the time_start timestamp, and the cpu where the latency occurred.

The trace_array, now has two trace_buffers, one for the normal trace and
one for the max trace or snapshot. By doing this, not only do we remove
the bloat from the max_trace but the instances of traces can now use
their own snapshot feature and not have just the top level global_trace have
the snapshot feature and latency tracers for itself.

b67bfe0d42 hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

7374e82771 tracing: Register the ftrace internal events during early boot
All trace events including ftrace internel events (like trace_printk
and function tracing), register functions that describe how to print
their output. The events may be recorded as soon as the ring buffer
is allocated, but they are just raw binary in the buffer. The mapping
of event ids to how to print them are held within a structure that
is registered on system boot.

If a crash happens in boot up before these functions are registered
then their output (via ftrace_dump_on_oops) will be useless:

Dumping ftrace buffer:
---------------------------------
   <...>-1       0.... 319705us : Unknown type 6
---------------------------------

This can be quite frustrating for a kernel developer trying to see
what is going wrong.

There's no reason to register them so late in the boot up process.
They can be registered by early_initcall().

db4c75cbeb tracing: Fix stacktrace of latency tracers (irqsoff and friends)
While debugging a latency with someone on IRC (mirage335) on #linux-rt (OFTC),
we discovered that the stacktrace output of the latency tracers
(preemptirqsoff) was empty.

This bug was caused by the creation of the dynamic length stack trace
again (like commit 12b5da3 "tracing: Fix ent_size in trace output" was).

This bug is caused by the latency tracers requiring the next event
to determine the time between the current event and the next. But by
grabbing the next event, the iter->ent_size is set to the next event
instead of the current one. As the stacktrace event is the last event,
this makes the ent_size zero and causes nothing to be printed for
the stack trace. The dynamic stacktrace uses the ent_size to determine
how much of the stack can be printed. The ent_size of zero means
no stack.

The simple fix is to save the iter->ent_size before finding the next event.

Note, mirage335 asked to remain anonymous from LKML and git, so I will
not add the Reported-by and Tested-by tags, even though he did report
the issue and tested the fix.

If more than one __print_*() function is used in a tracepoint
(__print_flags(), __print_symbols(), etc), then the temp seq buffer will
not be zero on entry. Using the temp seq buffer's length to know if
data has been printed or not in the current function is incorrect and
may produce incorrect results.

Currently, no in-tree tracepoint causes this bug, but new ones may
be created.

e404b321db tracing: Don't print an extra separator of flags
If __print_flags() is used after another __print_*() function, the
temp seq_file buffer will not be empty on entry, and the delimiter will
be printed even though there's just one field. We get something like:

	|S

instead of just:

	S

This is because the length of the temp seq buffer is used to determine
if the delimiter is printed or not. But this algorithm fails when
the seq buffer is not empty on entry, and the delimiter will be printed
because it thinks that a previous field was already printed.

77271ce4b2 tracing: Add irq, preempt-count and need resched info to default trace output
People keep asking how to get the preempt count, irq, and need resched info
and we keep telling them to enable the latency format. Some developers think
that traces without this info is completely useless, and for a lot of tasks
it is useless.

The first option was to enable the latency trace as the default format, but
the header for the latency format is pretty useless for most tracers and
it also does the timestamp in straight microseconds from the time the trace
started. This is sometimes more difficult to read as the default trace is
seconds from the start of boot up.

The latency format header has latency information that is pretty meaningless
for most tracers. Although some of the header is useful, and we can add that
later to the default format as well.

What is really useful with the latency format is the irqs-off, need-resched
hard/softirq context and the preempt count.

This commit adds the option irq-info which is on by default that adds this
information:

 # tracer: nop
 #
 #                              _-----=> irqs-off
 #                             / _----=> need-resched

           <idle>-0     [000] d..2    49.309315: need_resched <-mwait_idle

If a user wants the old format, they can disable the 'irq-info' option:

 #
 #           TASK-PID   CPU#      TIMESTAMP  FUNCTION
 #              | |       |          |         |

4a9bd3f134 tracing: Have dynamic size event stack traces
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.

2fc1b6f0d0 tracing: Add __print_symbolic_u64 to avoid warnings on 32bit machine
Filesystem, like Btrfs, has some "ULL" macros, and when these macros are passed
to tracepoints'__print_symbolic(), there will be 64->32 truncate WARNINGS during
compiling on 32bit box.

ee5e51f51b tracing: Avoid soft lockup in trace_pipe
running following commands:

  # enable the binary option
  echo 1 > ./options/bin
  # disable context info option
  echo 0 > ./options/context-info
  # tracing only events
  echo 1 > ./events/enable
  cat trace_pipe

plus forcing system to generate many tracing events,
is causing lockup (in NON preemptive kernels) inside
tracing_read_pipe function.

The issue is also easily reproduced by running ltp stress test.
(ftrace_stress_test.sh)

The reasons are:
 - bin/hex/raw output functions for events are set to
   trace_nop_print function, which prints nothing and
   returns TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED value
 - LOST EVENT trace do not handle trace_seq overflow

These reasons force the while loop in tracing_read_pipe
function never to break.

The attached patch fixies handling of lost event trace, and
changes trace_nop_print to print minimal info, which is needed
for the correct tracing_read_pipe processing.

v2 changes:
 - omit the cond_resched changes by trace_nop_print changes
 - WARN changed to WARN_ONCE and added info to be able
   to find out the culprit

v3 changes:
 - make more accurate patch comment

e6e1e25935 tracing: Remove lock_depth from event entry
The lock_depth field in the event headers was added as a temporary
data point for help in removing the BKL. Now that the BKL is pretty
much been removed, we can remove this field.

This in turn changes the header from 12 bytes to 8 bytes,
removing the 4 byte buffer that gcc would insert if the first field
in the data load was 8 bytes in size.

bc289ae98b tracing: Reduce latency and remove percpu trace_seq
__print_flags() and __print_symbolic() use percpu trace_seq:

1) Its memory is allocated at compile time, it wastes memory if we don't use tracing.
2) It is percpu data and it wastes more memory for multi-cpus system.
3) It disables preemption when it executes its core routine
   "trace_seq_printf(s, "%s: ", #call);" and introduces latency.

So we move this trace_seq to struct trace_iterator.
