The trace events sched_switch and sched_wakeup do the same thing
as the stand alone sched_switch tracer does. It is no longer needed.

This patch adds data to be passed to tracepoint callbacks.
The created functions from DECLARE_TRACE() now need a mandatory data
parameter. For example:
DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, int value, value)
Will create the register function:
int register_trace_mytracepoint((void(*)(void *data, int value))probe,
void *data);
As the first argument, all callbacks (probes) must take a (void *data)
parameter. So a callback for the above tracepoint will look like:
void myprobe(void *data, int value)
{
}
The callback may choose to ignore the data parameter.
This change allows callbacks to register a private data pointer along
with the function probe.
void mycallback(void *data, int value);
register_trace_mytracepoint(mycallback, mydata);
Then the mycallback() will receive the "mydata" as the first parameter
before the args.
A more detailed example:
DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(int status), TP_ARGS(status));
/* In the C file */
DEFINE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(int status), TP_ARGS(status));
[...]
trace_mytracepoint(status);
/* In a file registering this tracepoint */
int my_callback(void *data, int status)
{
struct my_struct my_data = data;
[...]
}
[...]
my_data = kmalloc(sizeof(*my_data), GFP_KERNEL);
init_my_data(my_data);
register_trace_mytracepoint(my_callback, my_data);
The same callback can also be registered to the same tracepoint as long
as the data registered is different. Note, the data must also be used
to unregister the callback:
unregister_trace_mytracepoint(my_callback, my_data);
Because of the data parameter, tracepoints declared this way can not have
no args. That is:
DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(void), TP_ARGS());
will cause an error.
If no arguments are needed, a new macro can be used instead:
DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS(mytracepoint);
Since there are no arguments, the proto and args fields are left out.
This is part of a series to make the tracepoint footprint smaller:
text data bss dec hex filename
4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig
4914025 1088868 861512 6864405 68be15 vmlinux.class
4918492 1084612 861512 6864616 68bee8 vmlinux.tracepoint
Again, this patch also increases the size of the kernel, but
lays the ground work for decreasing it.
v5: Fixed net/core/drop_monitor.c to handle these updates.
v4: Moved the DECLARE_TRACE() DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS out of the
#ifdef CONFIG_TRACE_POINTS, since the two are the same in both
cases. The __DECLARE_TRACE() is what changes.
Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for pointing this out.
v3: Made all register_* functions require data to be passed and
all callbacks to take a void * parameter as its first argument.
This makes the calling functions comply with C standards.
Also added more comments to the modifications of DECLARE_TRACE().
v2: Made the DECLARE_TRACE() have the ability to pass arguments
and added a new DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS() for tracepoints that
do not need any arguments.

The latency tracers (irqsoff and wakeup) can swap trace buffers
on the fly. If an event is happening and has reserved data on one of
the buffers, and the latency tracer swaps the global buffer with the
max buffer, the result is that the event may commit the data to the
wrong buffer.
This patch changes the API to the trace recording to be recieve the
buffer that was used to reserve a commit. Then this buffer can be passed
in to the commit.

Impact: api and pipe waiting change
Currently, the waiting used in tracing_read_pipe() is done through a
100 msecs schedule_timeout() loop which periodically check if there
are traces on the buffer.
This can cause small latencies for programs which are reading the incoming
events.
This patch makes the reader waiting for the trace_wait waitqueue except
for few tracers such as the sched and functions tracers which might be
already hold the runqueue lock while waking up the reader.
This is performed through a new callback wait_pipe() on struct tracer.
If none is implemented on a specific tracer, the default waiting for
trace_wait queue is attached.

Impact: extend the ->init() method with the ability to fail
This bring a way to know if the initialization of a tracer successed.
A tracer must return 0 on success and a traditional error (ie:
-ENOMEM) if it fails.
If a tracer fails to init, it is free to print a detailed warn. The
tracing api will not and switch to a new tracer will just return the
error from the init callback.
Note: this will be used for the return tracer.

Impact: fix for sched_switch that broke dynamic ftrace startup
The commit: tracing/fastboot: use sched switch tracer from boot tracer
broke the API of the sched_switch trace. The use of the
tracing_start/stop_cmdline record is for only recording the cmdline,
NOT recording the schedule switches themselves.
Seeing that the boot tracer broke the API to do something that it
wanted, this patch adds a new interface for the API while
puting back the original interface of the old API.

Impact: change where tracing is started up and stopped
Currently, when a new tracer is selected via echo'ing a tracer name into
the current_tracer file, the startup is only done if tracing_enabled is
set to one. If tracing_enabled is changed to zero (by echo'ing 0 into
the tracing_enabled file) a full shutdown is performed.
The full startup and shutdown of a tracer can be expensive and the
user can lose out traces when echo'ing in 0 to the tracing_enabled file,
because the process takes too long. There can also be places that
the user would like to start and stop the tracer several times and
doing the full startup and shutdown of a tracer might be too expensive.
This patch performs the full startup and shutdown when a tracer is
selected. It also adds a way to do a quick start or stop of a tracer.
The quick version is just a flag that prevents the tracing from
taking place, but the overhead of the code is still there.
For example, the startup of a tracer may enable tracepoints, or enable
the function tracer. The stop and start will just set a flag to
have the tracer ignore the calls when the tracepoint or function trace
is called. The overhead of the tracer may still be present when
the tracer is stopped, but no tracing will occur. Setting the tracer
to the 'nop' tracer (or any other tracer) will perform the shutdown
of the tracer which will disable the tracepoint or disable the
function tracer.
The tracing_enabled file will simply start or stop tracing.
This change is all internal. The end result for the user should be the same
as before. If tracing_enabled is not set, no trace will happen.
If tracing_enabled is set, then the trace will happen. The tracing_enabled
variable is static between tracers. Enabling tracing_enabled and
going to another tracer will keep tracing_enabled enabled. Same
is true with disabling tracing_enabled.
This patch will now provide a fast start/stop method to the users
for enabling or disabling tracing.
Note: There were two methods to the struct tracer that were never
used: The methods start and stop. These were to be used as a hook
to the reading of the trace output, but ended up not being
necessary. These two methods are now used to enable the start
and stop of each tracer, in case the tracer needs to do more than
just not write into the buffer. For example, the irqsoff tracer
must stop recording max latencies when tracing is stopped.

Impact: fix race condition in sched_switch tracer
This patch fixes a race condition in the sched_switch tracer. If
several tasks (IE: concurrent initcalls) are playing with
tracing_start_cmdline_record() and tracing_stop_cmdline_record(), the
following situation could happen:
_ Task A and B are using the same tracepoint probe. Task A holds it.
Task B is sleeping and doesn't hold it.
_ Task A frees the sched tracer, then sched_ref is decremented to 0.
_ Task A is preempted and hadn't yet unregistered its tracepoint
probe, then B runs.
_ B increments sched_ref, sees it's 1 and then guess it has to
register its probe. But it has not been freed by task A.
_ A lot of bad things can happen after that...

With the new ring buffer infrastructure in ftrace, I'm trying to make
ftrace a little more light weight.
This patch converts a lot of the local_irq_save/restore into
preempt_disable/enable. The original preempt count in a lot of cases
has to be sent in as a parameter so that it can be recorded correctly.
Some places were recording it incorrectly before anyway.
This is also laying the ground work to make ftrace a little bit
more reentrant, and remove all locking. The function tracers must
still protect from reentrancy.
Note: All the function tracers must be careful when using preempt_disable.
It must do the following:
resched = need_resched();
preempt_disable_notrace();
[...]
if (resched)
preempt_enable_no_resched_notrace();
else
preempt_enable_notrace();
The reason is that if this function traces schedule() itself, the
preempt_enable_notrace() will cause a schedule, which will lead
us into a recursive failure.
If we needed to reschedule before calling preempt_disable, we
should have already scheduled. Since we did not, this is most
likely that we should not and are probably inside a schedule
function.
If resched was not set, we still need to catch the need resched
flag being set when preemption was off and the if case at the
end will catch that for us.

We have two markers now that are enabled on sched_switch. One that records
the context switching and the other that records task wake ups. Currently
we enable the tracing first and then set the markers. This causes some
confusing traces:
# tracer: sched_switch
#
# TASK-PID CPU# TIMESTAMP FUNCTION
# | | | | |
trace-cmd-3973 [00] 115.834817: 3973:120:R + 3: 0:S
trace-cmd-3973 [01] 115.834910: 3973:120:R + 6: 0:S
trace-cmd-3973 [02] 115.834910: 3973:120:R + 9: 0:S
trace-cmd-3973 [03] 115.834910: 3973:120:R + 12: 0:S
trace-cmd-3973 [02] 115.834910: 3973:120:R + 9: 0:S
<idle>-0 [02] 115.834910: 0:140:R ==> 3973:120:R
Here we see that trace-cmd with PID 3973 wakes up task 9 but the next line
shows the idle task doing a context switch to task 3973.
Enabling the tracing to _after_ the markers are set creates a much saner
output:
