If the function graph trace is enabled, the function profiler will
use it to take the timing of the functions.
cat /debug/tracing/trace_stat/functions

Note the times are skewed due to the function graph tracer not taking
into account schedules.

Impact: reduce size of memory in function profiler
The function profiler originally introduces its counters into the
function records itself. There is 20 thousand different functions on
a normal system, and that is adding 20 thousand counters for profiling
event when not needed.
A normal run of the profiler yields only a couple of thousand functions
executed, depending on what is being profiled. This means we have around
18 thousand useless counters.
This patch rectifies this by moving the data out of the function
records used by dynamic ftrace. Data is preallocated to hold the functions
when the profiling begins. Checks are made during profiling to see if
more recorcds should be allocated, and they are allocated if it is safe
to do so.
This also removes the dependency from using dynamic ftrace, and also
removes the overhead by having it enabled.

Impact: new profiling feature
This patch adds a function profiler. In debugfs/tracing/ two new
files are created.
function_profile_enabled - to enable or disable profiling
trace_stat/functions - the profiled functions.
For example:
echo 1 > /debugfs/tracing/function_profile_enabled
./hackbench 50
echo 0 > /debugfs/tracing/function_profile_enabled
yields:
cat /debugfs/tracing/trace_stat/functions
Function Hit
-------- ---
_spin_lock 10106442
_spin_unlock 10097492
kfree 6013704
_spin_unlock_irqrestore 4423941
_spin_lock_irqsave 4406825
__phys_addr 4181686
__slab_free 4038222
dput 4030130
path_put 4023387
unroll_tree_refs 4019532
[...]
The most hit functions are listed first. Functions that are not
hit are not listed.
This feature depends on and uses dynamic function tracing. When the
function profiling is disabled, no overhead occurs. But it still
takes up around 300KB to hold the data, thus it is not recomended
to keep it enabled for systems low on memory.
When a '1' is echoed into the function_profile_enabled file, the
counters for is function is reset back to zero. Thus you can see what
functions are hit most by different programs.

Impact: give user a choice to show times spent while sleeping
The user may want to see the time a function spent sleeping.
This patch adds the trace option "sleep-time" to allow that.
The "sleep-time" option is default on.
echo sleep-time > /debug/tracing/trace_options
produces:
------------------------------------------
2) avahi-d-3428 => <idle>-0
------------------------------------------
2) | finish_task_switch() {
2) 0.621 us | _spin_unlock_irq();
2) 2.202 us | }
2) ! 1002.197 us | }
2) ! 1003.521 us | }
where as,
echo nosleep-time > /debug/tracing/trace_options
produces:
0) <idle>-0 => yum-upd-3416
------------------------------------------
0) | finish_task_switch() {
0) 0.643 us | _spin_unlock_irq();
0) 2.342 us | }

Impact: more accurate timings
The current method of function graph tracing does not take into
account the time spent when a task is not running. This shows functions
that call schedule have increased costs:
3) + 18.664 us | }
------------------------------------------
3) <idle>-0 => kblockd-123
------------------------------------------
3) | finish_task_switch() {
3) 1.441 us | _spin_unlock_irq();
3) 3.966 us | }
3) ! 2959.433 us | }
3) ! 2961.465 us | }
This patch uses the tracepoint in the scheduling context switch to
account for time that has elapsed while a task is scheduled out.
Now we see:
------------------------------------------
3) <idle>-0 => edac-po-1067
------------------------------------------
3) | finish_task_switch() {
3) 0.685 us | _spin_unlock_irq();

If the function profiler does not have any items recorded and one were
to cat the function stat file, the kernel would take a BUG with a NULL
pointer dereference.
Looking further into this, I found that returning NULL from stat_start
did not stop the stat logic, and would later call stat_next. This breaks
from the way seq_file works, so I looked into fixing the stat code.
This is where I noticed that the last next_entry is never freed.
It is allocated, and if the stat_next returns NULL, the code breaks out
of the loop, unlocks the mutex and exits. We never link the next_entry
nor do we free it. Thus it is a real memory leak.
This patch rearranges the code a bit to not only fix the memory leak,
but also to act more like seq_file where nothing is printed if there
is nothing to print. That is, stat_start returns NULL.

commit 40ada30f9621fbd831ac2437b9a2a399aa ("tracing: clean up menu"),
despite the "clean up" in its purpose, introduced a behavioural
change for Kconfig symbols: we no longer able to select tracing
support on PPC32 (because IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT isn't yet implemented).
The IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT is not mandatory for most tracers, tracing core
has a special case for platforms w/o irqflags (which, by the way, has
become useless as of the commit above).
Though according to Ingo Molnar, there was periodic build failures on
weird, unmaintained architectures that had no irqflags-tracing support
and hence didn't know the raw_irqs_save/restore primitives. Thus we'd
better not enable irqflags-less tracing for all architectures.
This patch restores the old behaviour for PPC32, and thus brings the
tracing back. Other architectures can either add themselves to the
exception list or (better) implement TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT.

Impact: fix a crash with ftrace={nop,boot} parameter
If the nop or initcall tracers are launched as boot tracers,
they will attempt to create their option directory and files.
But these tracers are registered very early and then assigned
as "boot tracers" very early if asked to.
Since they do this before debugfs has been registered (core initcall),
a crash is triggered.
Another early tracers could also come later. So we fix it by
checking if debugfs is initialized before creating the root
tracing directory.

Impact: add new debugfs API
With ftrace, some tracers are registered in early initcalls
and attempt to create files on the debugfs filesystem.
Depending on when they are activated, they can try to create their
file at any time. Some checks can be done on the tracing area
but providing a helper to know if debugfs is registered make it
really more easy.

Impact: detect tracing related hangs
Sometimes, with some configs, the function graph tracer can make
the timer interrupt too much slow, hanging the kernel in an endless
loop of timer interrupts servicing.
As suggested by Ingo, this patch brings a watchdog which stops the
selftest after a defined number of functions traced, definitely
disabling this tracer.
For those who want to debug the cause of the function graph trace
hang, you can pass the ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter to dump
the traces after this hang detection.

Impact: remove a section warning
CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH raises the following warning on -tip:
WARNING: kernel/trace/built-in.o(.text+0x5bc5): Section mismatch in
reference from the function ring_buffer_alloc() to the function
.cpuinit.text:rb_cpu_notify()
The function ring_buffer_alloc() references
the function __cpuinit rb_cpu_notify().
This is actually harmless. The code in the ring buffer don't build
rb_cpu_notify and other cpu hotplug stuffs when !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
so we have no risk to reference freed memory here (it would even
be harmless if we unconditionally build it because register_cpu_notifier
would do nothing when !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.
But since ring_buffer_alloc() can be called everytime, we don't want it
to be annotated with __cpuinit so we drop the __cpuinit from
rb_cpu_notify.
This is not a waste of memory because it is only defined and used on
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.

The libaio test harness turned up a problem whereby lookup_ioctx on a
bogus io context was returning the 1 valid io context from the list
(harness/cases/3.p).
Because of that, an extra put_iocontext was done, and when the process
exited, it hit a BUG_ON in the put_iocontext macro called from exit_aio
(since we expect a users count of 1 and instead get 0).
The problem was introduced by "aio: make the lookup_ioctx() lockless"
(commit abf137dd7712132ee56d5b3143c2ff61a72a5faa).
Thanks to Zach for pointing out that hlist_for_each_entry_rcu will not

Remove a source of fput() call from inside IRQ context. Myself, like Eric,
wasn't able to reproduce an fput() call from IRQ context, but Jeff said he was
able to, with the attached test program. Independently from this, the bug is
conceptually there, so we might be better off fixing it. This patch adds an
optimization similar to the one we already do on ->ki_filp, on ->ki_eventfd.
Playing with ->f_count directly is not pretty in general, but the alternative
here would be to add a brand new delayed fput() infrastructure, that I'm not
sure is worth it.

With the added TRACE_EVENT macro, the events no longer appear in
the function graph tracer. This was because the function graph
did not know how to display the entries. The graph tracer was
only aware of its own entries and the printk entries.
By using the event call back feature, the graph tracer can now display
the events.
# echo irq > /debug/tracing/set_event
Which can show:
0) | handle_IRQ_event() {

Currently, the function graph tracer depends on the trace_printk

to calculate function depth, with the exception of having the printk
be the first item. But as soon as a entry or exit is reached, then
we know the depth.
This patch changes the iter->private data from recording a per cpu
last_pid, to a structure that holds both the last_pid and the current
depth. This data is used to determine the function depth for the
printks.

Nick Piggin noticed this (very unlikely) race between setting a page
dirty and creating the buffers for it - we need to hold the mapping
private_lock until we've set the page dirty bit in order to make sure
that create_empty_buffers() might not build up a set of buffers without
the dirty bits set when the page is dirty.
I doubt anybody has ever hit this race (and it didn't solve the issue
Nick was looking at), but as Nick says: "Still, it does appear to solve
a real race, which we should close."

things like
if (ptr + offset < ptr)
which technically is undefined for non-unsigned types. See
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12597
for details.
Not all versions of gcc support it, so we need to make it conditional

Impact: fix warning with irqsoff tracer
The ring buffer allocates its buffers on pre-smp time (early_initcall).
It means that, at first, only the boot cpu buffer is allocated and
the ring-buffer cpumask only has the boot cpu set (cpu_online_mask).
Later, the secondary cpu will show up and the ring-buffer will be notified
about this event: the appropriate buffer will be allocated and the cpumask
will be updated.
Unfortunately, if !CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG, the ring-buffer will not be
notified about the secondary cpus, meaning that the cpumask will have
only the cpu boot set, and only one cpu buffer allocated.
We fix that by using cpu_possible_mask if !CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG.
This patch fixes the following warning with irqsoff tracer running:

Because this tracer may try to swap two cpu ring buffers for an
unregistered cpu on the ring buffer.
This patch might also fix a fair loss of traces due to unallocated buffers
for secondary cpus.

Impact: clean up
The prologue of the function graph entry, return and comments all
start out pretty much the same. Each of these duplicate code and
do so slightly differently.
This patch consolidates the printing of the pid, absolute time,
cpu and proc (and for entry, the interrupt).

When I review the sensitive code ftrace_nmi_enter(), I found
the atomic variable nmi_running does protect NMI VS do_ftrace_mod_code(),
but it can not protects NMI(entered nmi) VS NMI(ftrace_nmi_enter()).
cpu#1 | cpu#2 | cpu#3
ftrace_nmi_enter() | do_ftrace_mod_code() |
not modify | |
------------------------|-----------------------|--
executing | set mod_code_write = 1|
executing --|-----------------------|--------------------
executing | | ftrace_nmi_enter()
executing | | do modify
------------------------|-----------------------|-----------------
ftrace_nmi_exit() | |
cpu#3 may be being modified the code which is still being executed on cpu#1,
it will have undefined results and possibly take a GPF, this patch
prevents it occurred.

Zero-sized tracepoint sections can occur if tracing is enabled but
no tracepoint is defined. Do not emit a warning in that case.

There is currently no easy way to clear the trace buffer. Currently
the only way is to change the current tracer.
This patch lets the user clear the trace buffer by simply writing
into the trace files.
echo > /debug/tracing/trace
or to clear a single cpu (i.e. for CPU 1):
echo > /debug/tracing/per_cpu/cpu1/trace
