git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging Pull staging tree patches from Greg Kroah-Hartman: "Here's the big staging tree merge for the 3.6-rc1 merge window. There are some patches in here outside of drivers/staging/, notibly the iio code (which is still stradeling the staging / not staging boundry), the pstore code, and the tracing code. All of these have gotten acks from the various subsystem maintainers to be included in this tree. The pstore and tracing patches are related, and are coming here as they replace one of the android staging drivers. Otherwise, the normal staging mess.

2012-06-29ring-buffer: Fix accounting of entries when removing pagesVaibhav Nagarnaik
When removing pages from the ring buffer, its state is not reset. This means that the counters need to be correctly updated to account for the pages removed. Update the overrun counter to reflect the removed events from the pages.

2012-06-29ring-buffer: Fix crash due to uninitialized new_pages list headVaibhav Nagarnaik
The new_pages list head in the cpu_buffer is not initialized. When adding pages to the ring buffer, if the memory allocation fails in ring_buffer_resize, the clean up handler tries to free up the allocated pages from all the cpu buffers. The panic is caused by referencing the uninitialized new_pages list head. Initializing the new_pages list head in rb_allocate_cpu_buffer fixes this.

2012-06-28ring-buffer: Fix uninitialized read_stampSteven Rostedt
The ring buffer reader page is used to swap a page from the writable ring buffer. If the writer happens to be on that page, it ends up on the reader page, but will simply move off of it, back into the writable ring buffer as writes are added. The time stamp passed back to the readers is stored in the cpu_buffer per CPU descriptor. This stamp is updated when a swap of the reader page takes place, and it reads the current stamp from the page taken from the writable ring buffer. Everytime a writer goes to a new page, it updates the time stamp of that page. The problem happens if a reader reads a page from an empty per CPU ring buffer. If the buffer is empty, the swap still takes place, placing the writer at the start of the reader page. If at a later time, a write happens, it updates the page's time stamp and continues. But the problem is that the read_stamp does not get updated, because the page was already swapped. The solution to this was to not swap the page if the ring buffer happens to be empty. This also removes the side effect that the writes on the reader page will not get updated because the writer never gets back on the reader page without a swap. That is, if a read happens on an empty buffer, but then no reads happen for a while. If a swap took place, and the writer were to start writing a lot of data (function tracer), it will start overflowing the ring buffer and overwrite the older data. But because the writer never goes back onto the reader page, the data left on the reader page never gets overwritten. This causes the reader to see really old data, followed by a jump to newer data.

2012-06-28tracing: Remove NR_CPUS array from trace_iteratorSteven Rostedt
Replace the NR_CPUS array of buffer_iter from the trace_iterator with an allocated array. This will just create an array of possible CPUS instead of the max number specified. The use of NR_CPUS in that array caused allocation failures for machines that were tight on memory. This did not cause any failures to the system itself (no crashes), but caused unnecessary failures for reading the trace files. Added a helper function called 'trace_buffer_iter()' that returns the buffer_iter item or NULL if it is not defined or the array was not allocated. Some routines do not require the array (tracing_open_pipe() for one). Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2012-06-14tracing: Register the ftrace internal events during early bootSteven Rostedt
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().

2012-06-13splice: fix racy pipe->buffers usesEric Dumazet
Dave Jones reported a kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3474! triggered by splice_shrink_spd() called from vmsplice_to_pipe() commit 35f3d14dbbc5 (pipe: add support for shrinking and growing pipes) added capability to adjust pipe->buffers. Problem is some paths don't hold pipe mutex and assume pipe->buffers doesn't change for their duration.

2012-06-07tracing: Have tracing_off() actually turn tracing offSteven Rostedt
A recent update to have tracing_on/off() only affect the ftrace ring buffers instead of all ring buffers had a cut and paste error. The tracing_off() did the exact same thing as tracing_on() and would not actually turn off tracing. Unfortunately, tracing_off() is more important to be working than tracing_on() as this is a key development tool, as it lets the developer turn off tracing as soon as a problem is discovered. It is also used by panic and oops code. This bug also breaks the 'echo func:traceoff > set_ftrace_filter' Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 3.4 Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The core uprobes design is fairly straightforward: uprobes probe points register themselves at (inode:offset) addresses of libraries/binaries, after which all existing (or new) vmas that map that address will have a software breakpoint injected at that address. vmas are COW-ed to preserve original content. The probe points are kept in an rbtree. If user-space executes the probed inode:offset instruction address then an event is generated which can be recovered from the regular perf event channels and mmap-ed ring-buffer. Multiple probes at the same address are supported, they create a dynamic callback list of event consumers. The basic model is further complicated by the XOL speedup: the original instruction that is probed is copied (in an architecture specific fashion) and executed out of line when the probe triggers. The XOL area is a single vma per process, with a fixed number of entries (which limits probe execution parallelism). The API: uprobes are installed/removed via /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events, the API is integrated to align with the kprobes interface as much as possible, but is separate to it. Injecting a probe point is privileged operation, which can be relaxed by setting perf_paranoid to -1. You can use multiple probes as well and mix them with kprobes and regular PMU events or tracepoints, when instrumenting a task."

2012-05-23ring-buffer: Check for valid buffer before changing sizeSteven Rostedt
On some machines the number of possible CPUS is not the same as the number of CPUs that is on the machine. Ftrace uses possible_cpus to update the tracing structures but the ring buffer only allocates per cpu buffers for online CPUs when they come up. When the wakeup tracer was enabled in such a case, the ftrace code enabled all possible cpu buffers, but the code in ring_buffer_resize() did not check to see if the buffer in question was allocated. Since boot up CPUs did not match possible CPUs it caused the following crash: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000020 IP: [<c1097851>] ring_buffer_resize+0x16a/0x28d *pde = 00000000 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Dumping ftrace buffer: (ftrace buffer empty) Modules linked in: [last unloaded: scsi_wait_scan] Pid: 1387, comm: bash Not tainted 3.4.0-test+ #13 /DG965MQ EIP: 0060:[<c1097851>] EFLAGS: 00010217 CPU: 0 EIP is at ring_buffer_resize+0x16a/0x28d EAX: f5a14340 EBX: f6026b80 ECX: 00000ff4 EDX: 00000ff3 ESI: 00000000 EDI: 00000002 EBP: f4275ecc ESP: f4275eb0 DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 00e0 SS: 0068 CR0: 80050033 CR2: 00000020 CR3: 34396000 CR4: 000007d0 DR0: 00000000 DR1: 00000000 DR2: 00000000 DR3: 00000000 DR6: ffff0ff0 DR7: 00000400 Process bash (pid: 1387, ti=f4274000 task=f4380cb0 task.ti=f4274000) Stack: c109cf9a f6026b98 00000162 00160f68 00000006 00160f68 00000002 f4275ef0 c109d013 f4275ee8 c123b72a c1c0bf00 c1cc81dc 00000005 f4275f98 00000007 f4275f70 c109d0c7 7700000e 75656b61 00000070 f5e90900 f5c4e198 00000301 Call Trace: [<c109cf9a>] ? tracing_set_tracer+0x115/0x1e9 [<c109d013>] tracing_set_tracer+0x18e/0x1e9 [<c123b72a>] ? _copy_from_user+0x30/0x46 [<c109d0c7>] tracing_set_trace_write+0x59/0x7f [<c10ec01e>] ? fput+0x18/0x1c6 [<c11f8732>] ? security_file_permission+0x27/0x2b [<c10eaacd>] ? rw_verify_area+0xcf/0xf2 [<c10ec01e>] ? fput+0x18/0x1c6 [<c109d06e>] ? tracing_set_tracer+0x1e9/0x1e9 [<c10ead77>] vfs_write+0x8b/0xe3 [<c10ebead>] ? fget_light+0x30/0x81 [<c10eaf54>] sys_write+0x42/0x63 [<c1834fbf>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x28 This happens with the latency tracer as the ftrace code updates the saved max buffer via its cpumask and not with a global setting.

2012-05-17ftrace: Remove selecting FRAME_POINTER with FUNCTION_TRACERSteven Rostedt
The function tracer will enable the -pg option with gcc, which requires that frame pointers. When FRAME_POINTER is defined in the kernel config it adds the gcc option -fno-omit-frame-pointer which causes some problems on some architectures. For those architectures, the FRAME_POINTER select was not set. When FUNCTION_TRACER was selected on these architectures that can not have -fno-omit-frame-pointer, the -pg option is still set. But when FRAME_POINTER is not selected, the kernel config would add the gcc option -fomit-frame-pointer. Adding this option is incompatible with -pg even on archs that do not need frame pointers with -pg. The answer to this was to just not add either -fno-omit-frame-pointer or -fomit-frame-pointer on these archs that want function tracing but do not set FRAME_POINTER. As it turns out, for archs that require frame pointers for function tracing, the same can be used. If gcc requires frame pointers with -pg, it will simply add it. The best thing to do is not select FRAME_POINTER when function tracing is selected, and let gcc add it if needed. Only add the -fno-omit-frame-pointer when something else selects FRAME_POINTER, but do not add -fomit-frame-pointer if function tracing is selected.

2012-05-17ftrace/x86: Have x86 ftrace use the ftrace_modify_all_code()Steven Rostedt
To remove duplicate code, have the ftrace arch_ftrace_update_code() use the generic ftrace_modify_all_code(). This requires that the default ftrace_replace_code() becomes a weak function so that an arch may override it. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Rename __ftrace_modify_code() to ftrace_modify_all_code() and make it global for all archs to use. This will remove the duplication of code, as archs that can modify code without stop_machine() can use it directly outside of the stop_machine() call.

2012-05-16ftrace: Return record ip addr for ftrace_location()Steven Rostedt
ftrace_location() is passed an addr, and returns 1 if the addr is on a ftrace nop (or caller to ftrace_caller), and 0 otherwise. To let kprobes know if it should move a breakpoint or not, it must return the actual addr that is the start of the ftrace nop. This way a kprobe placed on the location of a ftrace nop, can instead be placed on the instruction after the nop. Even if the probe addr is on the second or later byte of the nop, it can simply be moved forward.

2012-05-16ftrace: Consolidate ftrace_location() and ftrace_text_reserved()Steven Rostedt
Both ftrace_location() and ftrace_text_reserved() do basically the same thing. They search to see if an address is in the ftace table (contains an address that may change from nop to call ftrace_caller). The difference is that ftrace_location() searches a single address, but ftrace_text_reserved() searches a range. This also makes the ftrace_text_reserved() faster as it now uses a bsearch() instead of linearly searching all the addresses within a page.

2012-05-16ftrace: Speed up search by skipping pages by addressSteven Rostedt
As all records in a page of the ftrace table are sorted, we can speed up the search algorithm by checking if the address to look for falls in between the first and last record ip on the page. This speeds up both the ftrace_location() and ftrace_text_reserved() algorithms, as it can skip full pages when the search address is not in them.

2012-05-16ftrace: Remove extra helper functionsSteven Rostedt
The ftrace_record_ip() and ftrace_alloc_dyn_node() were from the time of the ftrace daemon. Although they were still used, they still make things a bit more complex than necessary. Move the code into the one function that uses it, and remove the helper functions. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2012-05-16ftrace: Sort all function addresses, not just per pageSteven Rostedt
Instead of just sorting the ip's of the functions per ftrace page, sort the entire list before adding them to the ftrace pages. This will allow the bsearch algorithm to be sped up as it can also sort by pages, not just records within a page. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

According to Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt: tracing_cpumask: This is a mask that lets the user only trace on specified CPUS. The format is a hex string representing the CPUS. The tracing_cpumask currently doesn't affect the tracing state of per-CPU ring buffers. This patch enables/disables CPU recording as its corresponding bit in tracing_cpumask is set/unset.

2012-05-16ring-buffer: Reset head page before running self testSteven Rostedt
When the ring buffer does its consistency test on itself, it removes the head page, runs the tests, and then adds it back to what the "head_page" pointer was. But because the head_page pointer may lack behind the real head page (held by the link list pointer). The reset may be incorrect. Instead, if the head_page exists (it does not on first allocation) reset it back to the real head page before running the consistency tests. Then it will be put back to its original location after the tests are complete. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2012-05-16ring-buffer: Add integrity check at end of iter readSteven Rostedt
There use to be ring buffer integrity checks after updating the size of the ring buffer. But now that the ring buffer can modify the size while the system is running, the integrity checks were removed, as they require the ring buffer to be disabed to perform the check. Move the integrity check to the reading of the ring buffer via the iterator reads (the "trace" file). As reading via an iterator requires disabling the ring buffer, it is a perfect place to have it. If the ring buffer happens to be disabled when updating the size, we still perform the integrity check.

2012-05-16ring-buffer: Make addition of pages in ring buffer atomicVaibhav Nagarnaik

2012-05-16ring-buffer: Make removal of ring buffer pages atomicVaibhav Nagarnaik
This patch adds the capability to remove pages from a ring buffer without destroying any existing data in it. This is done by removing the pages after the tail page. This makes sure that first all the empty pages in the ring buffer are removed. If the head page is one in the list of pages to be removed, then the page after the removed ones is made the head page. This removes the oldest data from the ring buffer and keeps the latest data around to be read. To do this in a non-racey manner, tracing is stopped for a very short time while the pages to be removed are identified and unlinked from the ring buffer. The pages are freed after the tracing is restarted to minimize the time needed to stop tracing. The context in which the pages from the per-cpu ring buffer are removed runs on the respective CPU. This minimizes the events not traced to only NMI trace contexts.

2012-05-16tracing: Clean up tracing_mark_write()Steven Rostedt
On gcc 4.5 the function tracing_mark_write() would give a warning of page2 being uninitialized. This is due to a bug in gcc because the logic prevents page2 from being used uninitialized, and gcc 4.6+ does not complain (correctly). Instead of adding a "unitialized" around page2, which could show a bug later on, I combined page1 and page2 into an array map_pages[]. This binds the two and the two are modified according to nr_pages (what gcc 4.5 seems to ignore). This no longer gives a warning with gcc 4.5 nor with gcc 4.6.
