      ftrace/x86: Do no run CPU sync when there is only one CPU online · 2b87965a
      Steven Rostedt (VMware) 提交于
      Moving enabling of function tracing to early boot, even before scheduling is
      enabled, means that it is not safe to enable interrupts. When function
      tracing was enabled at boot up, it use to happen after scheduling and the
      other CPUs were brought up. That required running a sync across all CPUs
      when modifying the function hook locations in the code. To do the
      synchronization, interrupts had to be enabled. Now function tracing can be
      started before the other CPUs are brought up, and enabling interrupts in
      that case is dangerous. As only tho boot CPU is active, there is no reason
      to run the synchronization. If the online CPU count is one, do not bother
      doing the synchronization. This removes the need to enable interrupts.

      tracing: Move trace_handle_return() out of line · af0009fc
      Steven Rostedt (VMware) 提交于
      Currently trace_handle_return() looks like this:
      
       static inline enum print_line_t trace_handle_return(struct trace_seq *s)
       {
              return trace_seq_has_overflowed(s) ?
                      TRACE_TYPE_PARTIAL_LINE : TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED;
       }
      
      Where trace_seq_overflowed(s) is:
      
       static inline bool trace_seq_has_overflowed(struct trace_seq *s)
       {
      	return s->full || seq_buf_has_overflowed(&s->seq);
       }
      
      And seq_buf_has_overflowed(&s->seq) is:
      
       static inline bool
       seq_buf_has_overflowed(struct seq_buf *s)
       {
      	return s->len > s->size;
       }
      
      Making trace_handle_return() into:
      
       return (s->full || (s->seq->len > s->seq->size)) ?
                 TRACE_TYPE_PARTIAL_LINE :
                 TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED;
      
      One would think this is not an issue to keep as an inline. But because this
      is used in the TRACE_EVENT() macro, it is extended for every tracepoint in
      the system. Taking a look at a single tracepoint x86_irq_vector (was the
      first one I randomly chosen). As trace_handle_return is used in the
      TRACE_EVENT() macro of trace_raw_output_##call() we disassemble
      trace_raw_output_x86_irq_vector and do a diff:
      
      - is the original
      + is the out-of-line code
      
      I removed identical lines that were different just due to different
      addresses.

      ftrace: Allow for function tracing to record init functions on boot up · 42c269c8
      Steven Rostedt (VMware) 提交于
      Adding a hook into free_reserve_area() that informs ftrace that boot up init
      text is being free, lets ftrace safely remove those init functions from its
      records, which keeps ftrace from trying to modify text that no longer
      exists.
      
      Note, this still does not allow for tracing .init text of modules, as
      modules require different work for freeing its init code.

      mm/swap: don't BUG_ON() due to uninitialized swap slot cache · 452b94b8
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This BUG_ON() triggered for me once at shutdown, and I don't see a
      reason for the check.  The code correctly checks whether the swap slot
      cache is usable or not, so an uninitialized swap slot cache is not
      actually problematic afaik.
      
      I've temporarily just switched the BUG_ON() to a WARN_ON_ONCE(), since
      I'm not sure why that seemingly pointless check was there.  I suspect
      the real fix is to just remove it entirely, but for now we'll warn about
      it but not bring the machine down.
