On boot up, to save memory, ftrace allocates the minimum buffer
which is two pages. Ftrace also goes through a series of tests
(when configured) on boot up. These tests can fill up a page within
a single interrupt.

The ring buffer also has a WARN_ON when it detects that the buffer was
completely filled within a single commit (other commits are allowed to
be nested).

Combine the small buffer on start up, with the tests that can fill more
than a single page within an interrupt, this can trigger the WARN_ON.

This patch makes the WARN_ON only happen when the ring buffer consists
of more than two pages.

The startup tests for the event tracer also runs with the function
tracer enabled. The "wakeup" version of the trace commit was used
which can grab spinlocks. If a task was preempted by an NMI
that called a function being traced, it could deadlock due to the
function tracer trying to grab the same lock.

Althought using the irq level (hardirq_count, softirq_count and in_nmi)
was nice to detect bad recursion right away, but since the counters are
not atomically updated with respect to the interrupts, the function tracer
might trigger the test from an interrupt handler before the hardirq_count
is updated. This will trigger a false warning.

This patch converts the recursive detection to a simple counter.
If the depth is greater than 16 then the recursive detection will trigger.
16 is more than enough for any nested interrupts.

The ring_buffer_event_discard is not tied to ring_buffer_lock_reserve.
It can be called inside or outside the reserve/commit. Even if it
is called inside the reserve/commit the commit part must also be called.

Only ring_buffer_discard_commit can be used as a replacement for
ring_buffer_unlock_commit.

The pair of helpers trace_recursive_lock() and trace_recursive_unlock()
have been introduced recently to provide generic tracing recursion
protection.

They are used in a symetric way:

 - trace_recursive_lock() on buffer reserve
 - trace_recursive_unlock() on buffer commit

However sometimes, we don't commit but discard on entry
to the buffer, ie: in case of filter checking.

Then we must also unlock the recursion protection on discard time,
otherwise the tracing gets definitely deactivated and a warning
is raised spuriously, such as:

The tracing infrastructure allows for recursion. That is, an interrupt
may interrupt the act of tracing an event, and that interrupt may very well
perform its own trace. This is a recursive trace, and is fine to do.

The problem arises when there is a bug, and the utility doing the trace
calls something that recurses back into the tracer. This recursion is not
caused by an external event like an interrupt, but by code that is not
expected to recurse. The result could be a lockup.

This patch adds a bitmask to the task structure that keeps track
of the trace recursion. To find the interrupt depth, the following
algorithm is used:

  level = hardirq_count() + softirq_count() + in_nmi;

Here, level will be the depth of interrutps and softirqs, and even handles
the nmi. Then the corresponding bit is set in the recursion bitmask.
If the bit was already set, we know we had a recursion at the same level
and we warn about it and fail the writing to the buffer.

After the data has been committed to the buffer, we clear the bit.
No atomics are needed. The only races are with interrupts and they reset
the bitmask before returning anywy.

As events start to become popular, and the new way to add tracing
infrastructure into ftrace, it is important to catch any problems
that might happen with a mistake in the TRACE_EVENT macro.

This patch introduces a startup self test on the registered trace
events. Note, it can only do a generic test, any type of testing that
needs more involement is needed to be implemented by the tracepoint
creators.

The test goes down one by one enabling a trace point and running
some random tasks (random in the sense that I just made them up).
Those tasks are creating threads, grabbing mutexes and spinlocks
and using workqueues.

After testing each event individually, it does the same test after
enabling each system of trace points. Like sched, irq, lockdep.

Then finally it enables all tracepoints and performs the tasks again.
The output to the console on bootup will look like this when everything
works:

The hooks in the module code for the function tracer must be called
before any of that module code runs. The function tracer hooks
modify the module (replacing calls to mcount to nops). If the code
is executed while the change occurs, then the CPU can take a GPF.

To handle the above with a bit of paranoia, I originally implemented
the hooks as calls directly from the module code.

After examining the notifier calls, it looks as though the start up
notify is called before any of the module's code is executed. This makes
the use of the notify safe with ftrace.

Only the startup notify is required to be "safe". The shutdown simply
removes the entries from the ftrace function list, and does not modify
any code.

This change has another benefit. It removes a issue with a reverse dependency
in the mutexes of ftrace_lock and module_mutex.

When current tracer is set to blk tracer, TRACE_ITER_CONTEXT_INFO is
unset, but actually context-info is printed:

And then if we enable TRACE_ITER_CONTEXT_INFO:

    # echo context-info > trace_options

We'll see context-info printed twice. What's worse, when we use blk
tracer and trace events at the same time, we'll see no context-info
for trace events at all:

only when we set the output to classic mode.

wants to get binary output that can be parsed by blkparse:

Note some actions are per device, thus we don't filter 0-sector events.

Impact: compile fix

The addition of TRACE_EVENT for modules breaks the build for when
modules are disabled. This code fixes that.

Impact: allow modules to add TRACE_EVENTS on load

This patch adds the final hooks to allow modules to use the TRACE_EVENT
macro. A notifier and a data structure are used to link the TRACE_EVENTs
defined in the module to connect them with the ftrace event tracing system.

It also adds the necessary automated clean ups to the trace events when a
module is removed.

Impact: let modules add trace events

The trace event code requires some functions to be exported to allow
modules to use TRACE_EVENT. This patch adds EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL to the
necessary functions.

Impact: makes it possible to define events in modules

The events are created by reading down the section that they are linked
in by the macros. But this is not scalable to modules. This patch converts
the manipulations to use a global link list, and on boot up it adds
the items in the section to the list.

This change will allow modules to add their tracing events to the list as
well.

Note, this change alone does not permit modules to use the TRACE_EVENT macros,
but the change is needed for them to eventually do so.

This patch moves the ftrace creation into include/trace/ftrace.h and
simplifies the work of developers in adding new tracepoints.
Just the act of creating the trace points in include/trace and including
define_trace.h will create the events in the debugfs/tracing/events
directory.

This patch removes the need of include/trace/trace_events.h

In preparation to allowing trace events to happen in modules, we need
to move some of the local declarations in the kernel/trace directory
into include/linux.

This patch simply moves the declarations and performs no context changes.

In the process to make TRACE_EVENT macro work for modules, the trace_seq
operations must be available for core kernel code.

These operations are quite useful and can be used for other implementations.

The main idea is that we create a trace_seq handle that acts very much
like the seq_file handle.

	struct trace_seq *s = kmalloc(sizeof(*s, GFP_KERNEL);

	trace_seq_init(s);
	trace_seq_printf(s, "some data %d\n", variable);

	printk("%s", s->buffer);

The main use is to allow a top level function call several other functions
that may store printf like data into the buffer. Then at the end, the top
level function can process all the data with any method it would like to.
It could be passed to userspace, output via printk or even use seq_file:

	trace_seq_to_user(s, ubuf, cnt);
	seq_puts(m, s->buffer);

Impact: clean up

Neil Horman (et. al.) criticized the way the trace events were broken up
into two files. The reason for that was that ftrace needed to separate out
the declarations from where the #include <linux/tracepoint.h> was used.
It then dawned on me that the tracepoint.h header only needs to define the
TRACE_EVENT macro if it is not already defined.

The solution is simply to test if TRACE_EVENT is defined, and if it is not
then the linux/tracepoint.h header can define it. This change consolidates
all the <traces>.h and <traces>_event_types.h into the <traces>.h file.

This patch allows event filters to be safely removed or switched
on-the-fly while avoiding the use of rcu or the suspension of tracing of
previous versions.

It does it by adding a new filter_pred_none() predicate function which
does nothing and by never deallocating either the predicates or any of
the filter_pred members used in matching; the predicate lists are
allocated and initialized during ftrace_event_calls initialization.

Whenever a filter is removed or replaced, the filter_pred_* functions
currently in use by the affected ftrace_event_call are immediately
switched over to to the filter_pred_none() function, while the rest of
the filter_pred members are left intact, allowing any currently
executing filter_pred_* functions to finish up, using the values they're
currently using.

In the case of filter replacement, the new predicate values are copied
into the old predicates after the above step, and the filter_pred_none()
functions are replaced by the filter_pred_* functions for the new
filter.  In this case, it is possible though very unlikely that a
previous filter_pred_* is still running even after the
filter_pred_none() switch and the switch to the new filter_pred_*.  In
that case, however, because nothing has been deallocated in the
filter_pred, the worst that can happen is that the old filter_pred_*
function sees the new values and as a result produces either a false
positive or a false negative, depending on the values it finds.

So one downside to this method is that rarely, it can produce a bad
match during the filter switch, but it should be possible to live with
that, IMHO.

The other downside is that at least in this patch the predicate lists
are always pre-allocated, taking up memory from the start.  They could
probably be allocated on first-use, and de-allocated when tracing is
completely stopped - if this patch makes sense, I could create another
one to do that later on.

Oh, and it also places a restriction on the size of __arrays in events,
currently set to 128, since they can't be larger than the now embedded
str_val arrays in the filter_pred struct.

This patch changes filter_check_discard() to make use of the new
ring_buffer_discard_commit() function and modifies the current users to
call the old commit function in the non-discard case.

It also introduces a version of filter_check_discard() that uses the
global trace buffer (filter_current_check_discard()) for those cases.

Add a new config option, CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING that gets selected
when CONFIG_TRACING is selected and adds everything needed by the stuff
in trace_export - basically all the event tracing support needed by e.g.
bprint, minus the actual events, which are only included if
CONFIG_EVENT_TRACER is selected.

So CONFIG_EVENT_TRACER can be used to turn on or off the generated events
(what I think of as the 'event tracer'), while CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING turns
on or off the base event tracing support used by both the event tracer and
the other things such as bprint that can't be configured out.

The ring_buffer_discard_commit makes better usage of the ring_buffer
when an event has been discarded. It tries to remove it completely if
possible.

This patch converts the trace event filtering to use
ring_buffer_discard_commit instead of the ring_buffer_event_discard.
