Add the interface ("instances" directory) to add multiple buffers to ftrace. To create a new instance, simply do a mkdir in the instances directory: This will create a directory with the following: # cd instances # mkdir foo # ls foo buffer_size_kb free_buffer trace_clock trace_pipe buffer_total_size_kb set_event trace_marker tracing_enabled events/ trace trace_options tracing_on Currently only events are able to be set, and there isn't a way to delete a buffer when one is created (yet). Note, the i_mutex lock is dropped from the parent "instances" directory during the mkdir operation. As the "instances" directory can not be renamed or deleted (created on boot), I do not see any harm in dropping the lock. The creation of the sub directories is protected by trace_types_lock mutex, which only lets one instance get into the code path at a time. If two tasks try to create or delete directories of the same name, only one will occur and the other will fail with -EEXIST.

Currently the syscall events record into the global buffer. But if multiple buffers are in place, then we need to have syscall events record in the proper buffers. By adding descriptors to pass to the syscall event functions, the syscall events can now record into the buffers that have been assigned to them (one event may be applied to mulitple buffers). This will allow tracing high volume syscalls along with seldom occurring syscalls without losing the seldom syscall events. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The global and max-tr currently use static per_cpu arrays for the CPU data descriptors. But in order to get new allocated trace_arrays, they need to be allocated per_cpu arrays. Instead of using the static arrays, switch the global and max-tr to use allocated data. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Pass the struct ftrace_event_file *ftrace_file to the trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() (new function that replaces the trace_current_buffer_lock_reserver()). The ftrace_file holds a pointer to the trace_array that is in use. In the case of multiple buffers with different trace_arrays, this allows different events to be recorded into different buffers. Also fixed some of the stale comments in include/trace/ftrace.h Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The global_trace variable in kernel/trace/trace.c has been kept 'static' and local to that file so that it would not be used too much outside of that file. This has paid off, even though there were lots of changes to make the trace_array structure more generic (not depending on global_trace). Removal of a lot of direct usages of global_trace is needed to be able to create more trace_arrays such that we can add multiple buffers. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Both RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS and TRACE_PIPE_ALL_CPU are defined as -1 and used to say that all the ring buffers are to be modified or read (instead of just a single cpu, which would be >= 0). There's no reason to keep TRACE_PIPE_ALL_CPU as it is also started to be used for more than what it was created for, and now that the ring buffer code added a generic RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS define, we can clean up the trace code to use that instead and remove the TRACE_PIPE_ALL_CPU macro.

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.

The latency tracers require the buffers to be in overwrite mode, otherwise they get screwed up. Force the buffers to stay in overwrite mode when latency tracers are enabled. Added a flag_changed() method to the tracer structure to allow the tracers to see what flags are being changed, and also be able to prevent the change from happing.

Changing the overwrite mode for the ring buffer via the trace option only sets the normal buffer. But the snapshot buffer could swap with it, and then the snapshot would be in non overwrite mode and the normal buffer would be in overwrite mode, even though the option flag states otherwise. Keep the two buffers overwrite modes in sync. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Seems that the tracer flags have never been protected from synchronous writes. Luckily, admins don't usually modify the tracing flags via two different tasks. But if scripts were to be used to modify them, then they could get corrupted. Move the trace_types_lock that protects against tracers changing to also protect the flags being set.

Because function tracing is very invasive, and can even trace calls to rcu_read_lock(), RCU access in function tracing is done with preempt_disable_notrace(). This requires a synchronize_sched() for updates and not a synchronize_rcu(). Function probes (traceon, traceoff, etc) must be freed after a synchronize_sched() after its entry has been removed from the hash. But call_rcu() is used. Fix this by using call_rcu_sched(). Also fix the usage to use hlist_del_rcu() instead of hlist_del(). Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: Paul McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Although the swap is wrapped with a spin_lock, the assignment of the temp buffer used to swap is not within that lock. It needs to be moved into that lock, otherwise two swaps happening on two different CPUs, can end up using the wrong temp buffer to assign in the swap. Luckily, all current callers of the swap function appear to have their own locks. But in case something is added that allows two different callers to call the swap, then there's a chance that this race can trigger and corrupt the buffers. New code is coming soon that will allow for this race to trigger. I've Cc'd stable, so this bug will not show up if someone backports one of the changes that can trigger this bug.

To use the tracing snapshot feature, writing a '1' into the snapshot file causes the snapshot buffer to be allocated if it has not already been allocated and dose a 'swap' with the main buffer, so that the snapshot now contains what was in the main buffer, and the main buffer now writes to what was the snapshot buffer. To free the snapshot buffer, a '0' is written into the snapshot file. To clear the snapshot buffer, any number but a '0' or '1' is written into the snapshot file. But if the file is not allocated it returns -EINVAL error code. This is rather pointless. It is better just to do nothing and return success.

When cat'ing the snapshot file, instead of showing an empty trace header like the trace file does, show how to use the snapshot feature. Also, this is a good place to show if the snapshot has been allocated or not. Users may want to "pre allocate" the snapshot to have a fast "swap" of the current buffer. Otherwise, a swap would be slow and might fail as it would need to allocate the snapshot buffer, and that might fail under tight memory constraints. Here's what it looked like before: # tracer: nop # # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 0/0 #P:4 # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / delay # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | |||| | | Here's what it looks like now: # tracer: nop # # # * Snapshot is freed * # # Snapshot commands: # echo 0 > snapshot : Clears and frees snapshot buffer # echo 1 > snapshot : Allocates snapshot buffer, if not already allocated. # Takes a snapshot of the main buffer. # echo 2 > snapshot : Clears snapshot buffer (but does not allocate) # (Doesn't have to be '2' works with any number that # is not a '0' or '1') Acked-by: Hiraku Toyooka <hiraku.toyooka.gu@hitachi.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The prompt to enable DYNAMIC_FTRACE (the ability to nop and enable function tracing at run time) had a confusing statement: "enable/disable ftrace tracepoints dynamically" This was written before tracepoints were added to the kernel, but now that tracepoints have been added, this is very confusing and has confused people enough to give wrong information during presentations. Not only that, I looked at the help text, and it still references that dreaded daemon that use to wake up once a second to update the nop locations and brick NICs, that hasn't been around for over five years. Time to bring the text up to the current decade. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by: Ezequiel Garcia <elezegarcia@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo: "A lot of reorganization is going on mostly to prepare for worker pools with custom attributes so that workqueue can replace custom pool implementations in places including writeback and btrfs and make CPU assignment in crypto more flexible. workqueue evolved from purely per-cpu design and implementation, so there are a lot of assumptions regarding being bound to CPUs and even unbound workqueues are implemented as an extension of the model - workqueues running on the special unbound CPU. Bulk of changes this round are about promoting worker_pools as the top level abstraction replacing global_cwq (global cpu workqueue). At this point, I'm fairly confident about getting custom worker pools working pretty soon and ready for the next merge window. Lai's patches are replacing the convoluted mb() dancing workqueue has been doing with much simpler mechanism which only depends on assignment atomicity of long. For details, please read the commit message of 0b3dae68 ("workqueue: simplify is-work-item-queued-here test"). While the change ends up adding one pointer to struct delayed_work, the inflation in percentage is less than five percent and it decouples delayed_work logic a lot more cleaner from usual work handling, removes the unusual memory barrier dancing, and allows for further simplification, so I think the trade-off is acceptable. There will be two more workqueue related pull requests and there are some shared commits among them. I'll write further pull requests assuming this pull request is pulled first." * 'for-3.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: (37 commits) workqueue: un-GPL function delayed_work_timer_fn() workqueue: rename cpu_workqueue to pool_workqueue workqueue: reimplement is_chained_work() using current_wq_worker() workqueue: fix is_chained_work() regression workqueue: pick cwq instead of pool in __queue_work() workqueue: make get_work_pool_id() cheaper workqueue: move nr_running into worker_pool workqueue: cosmetic update in try_to_grab_pending() workqueue: simplify is-work-item-queued-here test workqueue: make work->data point to pool after try_to_grab_pending() workqueue: add delayed_work->wq to simplify reentrancy handling workqueue: make work_busy() test WORK_STRUCT_PENDING first workqueue: replace WORK_CPU_NONE/LAST with WORK_CPU_END workqueue: post global_cwq removal cleanups workqueue: rename nr_running variables workqueue: remove global_cwq workqueue: remove worker_pool->gcwq workqueue: replace for_each_worker_pool() with for_each_std_worker_pool() workqueue: make freezing/thawing per-pool workqueue: make hotplug processing per-pool ...

Pull workqueue [delayed_]work_pending() cleanups from Tejun Heo: "This is part of on-going cleanups to remove / minimize usages of workqueue interfaces which are deprecated and/or misleading. This round drops a number of usages of [delayed_]work_pending(), which are dangerous as they lack any form of synchronization and thus often lead to buggy / unnecessary code. There are a couple legitimate use cases in kernel. Hopefully, they can be converted and [delayed_]work_pending() can be removed completely.

Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar: "There are lots of improvements, the biggest changes are: Main kernel side changes: - Improve uprobes performance by adding 'pre-filtering' support, by Oleg Nesterov. - Make some POWER7 events available in sysfs, equivalent to what was done on x86, from Sukadev Bhattiprolu. - tracing updates by Steve Rostedt - mostly misc fixes and smaller improvements. - Use perf/event tracing to report PCI Express advanced errors, by Tony Luck. - Enable northbridge performance counters on AMD family 15h, by Jacob Shin. - This tracing commit: tracing: Remove the extra 4 bytes of padding in events changes the ABI. All involved parties (PowerTop in particular) seem to agree that it's safe to do now with the introduction of libtraceevent, but the devil is in the details ... Main tooling side changes: - Add 'event group view', from Namyung Kim: To use it, 'perf record' should group events when recording. And then perf report parses the saved group relation from file header and prints them together if --group option is provided. You can use the 'perf evlist' command to see event group information: $ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles}' noploop 1 [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.385 MB perf.data (~16807 samples) ] $ perf evlist --group {ref-cycles,cycles} With this example, default perf report will show you each event separately. You can use --group option to enable event group view: $ perf report --group ... # group: {ref-cycles,cycles} # ======== # Samples: 7K of event 'anon group { ref-cycles, cycles }' # Event count (approx.): 6876107743 # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ................ ....... ................. .......................... 99.84% 99.76% noploop noploop [.] main 0.07% 0.00% noploop ld-2.15.so [.] strcmp 0.03% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] timerqueue_del 0.03% 0.03% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_cpu 0.02% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] account_user_time 0.01% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __alloc_pages_nodemask 0.00% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_write_msr_safe 0.00% 0.11% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock 0.00% 0.06% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_get_page 0.00% 0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] rcu_check_callbacks 0.00% 0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __current_kernel_time As you can see the Overhead column now contains both of ref-cycles and cycles and header line shows group information also - 'anon group { ref-cycles, cycles }'. The output is sorted by period of group leader first. - Initial GTK+ annotate browser, from Namhyung Kim. - Add option for runtime switching perf data file in perf report, just press 's' and a menu with the valid files found in the current directory will be presented, from Feng Tang. - Add support to display whole group data for raw columns, from Jiri Olsa. - Add per processor socket count aggregation in perf stat, from Stephane Eranian. - Add interval printing in 'perf stat', from Stephane Eranian. - 'perf test' improvements - Add support for wildcards in tracepoint system name, from Jiri Olsa. - Add anonymous huge page recognition, from Joshua Zhu. - perf build-id cache now can show DSOs present in a perf.data file that are not in the cache, to integrate with build-id servers being put in place by organizations such as Fedora. - perf top now shares more of the evsel config/creation routines with 'record', paving the way for further integration like 'top' snapshots, etc. - perf top now supports DWARF callchains. - Fix mmap limitations on 32-bit, fix from David Miller. - 'perf bench numa mem' NUMA performance measurement suite - ... and lots of fixes, performance improvements, cleanups and other improvements I failed to list - see the shortlog and git log for details." * 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (270 commits) perf/x86/amd: Enable northbridge performance counters on AMD family 15h perf/hwbp: Fix cleanup in case of kzalloc failure perf tools: Fix build with bison 2.3 and older. perf tools: Limit unwind support to x86 archs perf annotate: Make it to be able to skip unannotatable symbols perf gtk/annotate: Fail early if it can't annotate perf gtk/annotate: Show source lines with gray color perf gtk/annotate: Support multiple event annotation perf ui/gtk: Implement basic GTK2 annotation browser perf annotate: Fix warning message on a missing vmlinux perf buildid-cache: Add --update option uprobes/perf: Avoid uprobe_apply() whenever possible uprobes/perf: Teach trace_uprobe/perf code to use UPROBE_HANDLER_REMOVE uprobes/perf: Teach trace_uprobe/perf code to pre-filter uprobes/perf: Teach trace_uprobe/perf code to track the active perf_event's uprobes: Introduce uprobe_apply() perf: Introduce hw_perf_event->tp_target and ->tp_list uprobes/perf: Always increment trace_uprobe->nhit uprobes/tracing: Kill uprobe_trace_consumer, embed uprobe_consumer into trace_uprobe uprobes/tracing: Introduce is_trace_uprobe_enabled() ...

Pull irq core changes from Ingo Molnar: "The biggest changes are the IRQ-work and printk changes from Frederic Weisbecker, which prepare the code for 'full dynticks' (the ability to stop or slow down the periodic tick arbitrarily, not just in idle time as today): - Don't stop tick with irq works pending. This fix is generally useful and concerns archs that can't raise self IPIs. - Flush irq works before CPU offlining. - Introduce "lazy" irq works that can wait for the next tick to be executed, unless it's stopped. - Implement klogd wake up using irq work. This removes the ad-hoc printk_tick()/printk_needs_cpu() hooks and make it working even in dynticks mode. - Cleanups and fixes." * 'irq-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: genirq: Export enable/disable_percpu_irq() arch Kconfig: Remove references to IRQ_PER_CPU irq_work: Remove return value from the irq_work_queue() function genirq: Avoid deadlock in spurious handling printk: Wake up klogd using irq_work irq_work: Make self-IPIs optable irq_work: Warn if there's still work on cpu_down irq_work: Flush work on CPU_DYING irq_work: Don't stop the tick with pending works nohz: Add API to check tick state irq_work: Remove CONFIG_HAVE_IRQ_WORK irq_work: Fix racy check on work pending flag irq_work: Fix racy IRQ_WORK_BUSY flag setting

commit d8e794df ("workqueue: set delayed_work->timer function on initialization") exports function delayed_work_timer_fn() only for GPL modules. This makes delayed-works unusable for non-GPL modules, because initialization macro now requires GPL symbol. For example schedule_delayed_work() available for non-GPL.
