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.

The new snapshot feature is quite handy. It's a way for the user to take advantage of the spare buffer that, until then, only the latency tracers used to "snapshot" the buffer when it hit a max latency. Now users can trigger a "snapshot" manually when some condition is hit in a program. But a snapshot currently can not be triggered by a condition inside the kernel. With the addition of tracing_snapshot() and tracing_snapshot_alloc(), snapshots can now be taking when a condition is hit, and the developer wants to snapshot the case without stopping the trace. Note, any snapshot will overwrite the old one, so take care in how this is done. These new functions are to be used like tracing_on(), tracing_off() and trace_printk() are. That is, they should never be called in the mainline Linux kernel. They are solely for the purpose of debugging. The tracing_snapshot() will not allocate a buffer, but it is safe to be called from any context (except NMIs). But if a snapshot buffer isn't allocated when it is called, it will write to the live buffer, complaining about the lack of a snapshot buffer, and then stop tracing (giving you the "permanent snapshot"). tracing_snapshot_alloc() will allocate the snapshot buffer if it was not already allocated and then take the snapshot. This routine *may sleep*, and must be called from context that can sleep. The allocation is done with GFP_KERNEL and not atomic. If you need a snapshot in an atomic context, say in early boot, then it is best to call the tracing_snapshot_alloc() before then, where it will allocate the buffer, and then you can use the tracing_snapshot() anywhere you want and still get snapshots.

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.

Currently, when a module with events is unloaded, the trace buffer is cleared. This is just a safety net in case the module might have some strange callback when its event is outputted. But there's no reason to reset the buffer if the module didn't have any of its events traced. Add a flag to the event "call" structure called WAS_ENABLED and gets set when the event is ever enabled, and this flag never gets cleared. When a module gets unloaded, if any of its events have this flag set, then the trace buffer will get cleared. Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

All the trace event flags have comments but the IGNORE_ENABLE flag which is set for ftrace internal events that should not be enabled via the debugfs "enable" file. That is, if the top level enable file is set, it will enable all events. It use to just check the ftrace event call descriptor "reg" field and skip those whithout it, but now some ftrace internal events have a reg field but still need to be skipped. The flag was created to ignore those events. Now document it. Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The trace events for ftrace are all defined via global variables. The arrays of events and event systems are linked to a global list. This prevents multiple users of the event system (what to enable and what not to). By adding descriptors to represent the event/file relation, as well as to which trace_array descriptor they are associated with, allows for more than one set of events to be defined. Once the trace events files have a link between the trace event and the trace_array they are associated with, we can create multiple trace_arrays that can record separate events in separate buffers.

At init time, if the system time is "warped" forward in warp_clock() it will differ from the hardware clock by sys_tz.tz_minuteswest. This time difference is not taken into account when ntp updates the hardware clock, and this causes the system time to jump forward by this offset every reboot. The kernel must take this offset into account when writing the system time to the hardware clock in the ntp code. This patch adds persistent_clock_is_local which indicates that an offset has been applied in warp_clock() and accounts for the "warp" before writing the hardware clock. x86 does not have this problem as rtc writes are software limited to a +/-15 minute window relative to the current rtc time. Other arches, such as powerpc, however do a full synchronization of the system time to the rtc and will see this problem.

Currently it is not possible to change the filtering constraints after uprobe_register(), so a consumer can not, say, start to trace a task/mm which was previously filtered out, or remove the no longer needed bp's. Introduce uprobe_apply() which simply does register_for_each_vma() again to consult uprobe_consumer->filter() and install/remove the breakpoints. The only complication is that register_for_each_vma() can no longer assume that uprobe->consumers should be consulter if is_register == T, so we change it to accept "struct uprobe_consumer *new" instead. Unlike uprobe_register(), uprobe_apply(true) doesn't do "unregister" if register_for_each_vma() fails, it is up to caller to handle the error. Note: we probably need to cleanup the current interface, it is strange that uprobe_apply/unregister need inode/offset. We should either change uprobe_register() to return "struct uprobe *", or add a private ->uprobe member in uprobe_consumer. And in the long term uprobe_apply() should take a single argument, uprobe or consumer, even "bool add" should go away. Signed-off-by: NOleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

sys_perf_event_open()->perf_init_event(event) is called before find_get_context(event), this means that event->ctx == NULL when class->reg(TRACE_REG_PERF_REGISTER/OPEN) is called and thus it can't know if this event is per-task or system-wide. This patch adds hw_perf_event->tp_target for PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT, this is analogous to PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT/bp_target we already have. The patch also moves ->bp_target up so that it can overlap with the new member, this can help the compiler to generate the better code. trace_uprobe_register() will use it for prefiltering to avoid the unnecessary breakpoints in mm's we do not want to trace. ->tp_target doesn't have its own reference, but we can rely on the fact that either sys_perf_event_open() holds a reference, or it is equal to event->ctx->task. So this pointer is always valid until free_event(). Also add the "struct list_head tp_list" into this union. It is not strictly necessary, but it can simplify the next changes and we can add it for free. Signed-off-by: NOleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

Currrently the are 2 problems with pre-filtering: 1. It is not possible to add/remove a task (mm) after uprobe_register() 2. A forked child inherits all breakpoints and uprobe_consumer can not control this. This patch does the first step to improve the filtering. handler_chain() removes the breakpoints installed by this uprobe from current->mm if all handlers return UPROBE_HANDLER_REMOVE. Note that handler_chain() relies on ->register_rwsem to avoid the race with uprobe_register/unregister which can add/del a consumer, or even remove and then insert the new uprobe at the same address. Perhaps we will add uprobe_apply_mm(uprobe, mm, is_register) and teach copy_mm() to do filter(UPROBE_FILTER_FORK), but I think this change makes sense anyway. Note: instead of checking the retcode from uc->handler, we could add uc->filter(UPROBE_FILTER_BPHIT). But I think this is not optimal to call 2 hooks in a row. This buys nothing, and if handler/filter do something nontrivial they will probably do the same work twice.

Finally add uprobe_consumer->filter() and change consumer_filter() to actually call this method. Note that ->filter() accepts mm_struct, not task_struct. Because: 1. We do not have for_each_mm_user(mm, task). 2. Even if we implement for_each_mm_user(), ->filter() can use it itself. 3. It is not clear who will actually need this interface to do the "nontrivial" filtering. Another argument is "enum uprobe_filter_ctx", consumer->filter() can use it to figure out why/where it was called. For example, perhaps we can add UPROBE_FILTER_PRE_REGISTER used by build_map_info() to quickly "nack" the unwanted mm's. In this case consumer should know that it is called under ->i_mmap_mutex. See the previous discussion at http://marc.info/?t=135214229700002 Perhaps we should pass more arguments, vma/vaddr?

To avoid executing the same work item from multiple CPUs concurrently, a work_struct records the last pool it was on in its ->data so that, on the next queueing, the pool can be queried to determine whether the work item is still executing or not. A delayed_work goes through timer before actually being queued on the target workqueue and the timer needs to know the target workqueue and CPU. This is currently achieved by modifying delayed_work->work.data such that it points to the cwq which points to the target workqueue and the last CPU the work item was on. __queue_delayed_work() extracts the last CPU from delayed_work->work.data and then combines it with the target workqueue to create new work.data. The only thing this rather ugly hack achieves is encoding the target workqueue into delayed_work->work.data without using a separate field, which could be a trade off one can make; unfortunately, this entangles work->data management between regular workqueue and delayed_work code by setting cwq pointer before the work item is actually queued and becomes a hindrance for further improvements of work->data handling. This can be easily made sane by adding a target workqueue field to delayed_work. While delayed_work is used widely in the kernel and this does make it a bit larger (<5%), I think this is the right trade-off especially given the prospect of much saner handling of work->data which currently involves quite tricky memory barrier dancing, and don't expect to see any measureable effect.

Originally 'efi_enabled' indicated whether a kernel was booted from EFI firmware. Over time its semantics have changed, and it now indicates whether or not we are booted on an EFI machine with bit-native firmware, e.g. 64-bit kernel with 64-bit firmware. The immediate motivation for this patch is the bug report at, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557 which details how running a platform driver on an EFI machine that is designed to run under BIOS can cause the machine to become bricked. Also, the following report, https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121 details how running said driver can also cause Machine Check Exceptions. Drivers need a new means of detecting whether they're running on an EFI machine, as sadly the expression, if (!efi_enabled) hasn't been a sufficient condition for quite some time. Users actually want to query 'efi_enabled' for different reasons - what they really want access to is the list of available EFI facilities. For instance, the x86 reboot code needs to know whether it can invoke the ResetSystem() function provided by the EFI runtime services, while the ACPI OSL code wants to know whether the EFI config tables were mapped successfully. There are also checks in some of the platform driver code to simply see if they're running on an EFI machine (which would make it a bad idea to do BIOS-y things). This patch is a prereq for the samsung-laptop fix patch.

Ftrace has a snapshot feature available from kernel space and latency tracers (e.g. irqsoff) are using it. This patch enables user applictions to take a snapshot via debugfs. Add "snapshot" debugfs file in "tracing" directory. snapshot: This is used to take a snapshot and to read the output of the snapshot. # echo 1 > snapshot This will allocate the spare buffer for snapshot (if it is not allocated), and take a snapshot. # cat snapshot This will show contents of the snapshot. # echo 0 > snapshot This will free the snapshot if it is allocated. Any other positive values will clear the snapshot contents if the snapshot is allocated, or return EINVAL if it is not allocated.

Jason pointed out the HAS_PERSISTENT_CLOCK name isn't quite accurate for the config, as some systems may have the persistent_clock in some cases, but not always. So change the config name to the more clear ALWAYS_USE_PERSISTENT_CLOCK. Signed-off-by: NJohn Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>

While remotely reading the cputime of a task running in a full dynticks CPU, the values stored in utime/stime fields of struct task_struct may be stale. Its values may be those of the last kernel <-> user transition time snapshot and we need to add the tickless time spent since this snapshot. To fix this, flush the cputime of the dynticks CPUs on kernel <-> user transition and record the time / context where we did this. Then on top of this snapshot and the current time, perform the fixup on the reader side from task_times() accessors.

Do some ground preparatory work before adding guest_enter() and guest_exit() context tracking callbacks. Those will be later used to read the guest cputime safely when we run in full dynticks mode.
