The constraint used for retrieving and restoring the parent function pointer is incorrect. The parent variable is a pointer, and the address of the pointer is modified by the asm statement and not the pointer itself. It is incorrect to pass it in as an output constraint since the asm will never update the pointer. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

Impact: change API and init bpage when copy ring_buffer_read_page()/rb_remove_entries() may be called for a partially consumed page. Add a parameter for rb_remove_entries() and make it update cpu_buffer->entries correctly for partially consumed pages. ring_buffer_read_page() now returns the offset to the next event. Init the bpage's time_stamp when return value is 0. Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

Impact: Fix bug I found several very very curious line. It's so curious that it may be brought by typing mistake. When (cpu_buffer->reader_page == cpu_buffer->commit_page): 1) We haven't copied it for bpage is changed: bpage = cpu_buffer->reader_page->page; memcpy(bpage->data, cpu_buffer->reader_page->page->data + read ... ) 2) We need update cpu_buffer->reader_page->read, but "cpu_buffer->reader_page += read;" is not right. [ This bug was a typo. The commit->reader_page is a page pointer and not an index into the page. The line should have been commit->reader_page->read += read. The other changes by Lai are nice clean ups to the code. - SDR ] Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

When one cats the trace file, the leaf functions are printed without brackets: function(); whereas in the trace_pipe file we'll see the following: function() { } This is because the ring_buffer handling is not the same between those two files. On the trace file, when an entry is printed, the iterator advanced and then we can check the next entry. There is no iterator with trace_pipe, the current entry to print has been peeked and not consumed. So checking the next entry will still return the current one while we don't consume it. This patch introduces a new value for the output callbacks to ask the tracing core to not consume the current entry after printing it. We need it because we will have to consume the current entry ourself to check the next one. Now the trace_pipe is able to handle well the leaf functions.

Impact: build fix The BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE entry used to be in block/Kconfig - which file itself was dependent on CONFIG_BLOCK. But now the entry is in kernel/trace/Kconfig - which is present even on !CONFIG_BLOCK. So add a 'depends on BLOCK' to BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

When the function graph tracer picks a return address, it ensures this address is really a kernel text one by calling __kernel_text_address() Actually this path has never been taken.Its role was more likely to debug the tracer on the beginning of its development but this function is wasteful since it is called for every traced function.

For historical reason, this driver used its own saving/restoring of the PCI config space, and used the state of it on resume as an indication as to whether it needed to re-POST the chip or not. This methods breaks with the later core changes since the core will have restored things for us. This patch fixes it by removing that custom code, using standard core methods to save/restore state, and testing for the need to re-POST by comparing the content of a few key PLL registers.

This fixes aty128fb to properly save the PCI config space -before- it potentially switches the PM state of the chip. This avoids a warning with the new PM core and is the right thing to do anyway. I also replaced the hand-coded switch to D2 with a call to the genericc pci_set_power_state() and removed the code that switches it back to D0 since the generic code is doing that for us nowadays.

I also slightly cleaned up the code that checks whether we are running on a PowerMac to do a runtime check instead of a compile check only, and replaced a deprecated number with the proper symbolic constant.

The function graph tracer piggy backed onto the dynamic ftracer to use the in_nmi custom code for dynamic tracing. The problem was (as Andrew Morton pointed out) it really only wanted to bail out if the context of the current CPU was in NMI context. But the dynamic ftrace in_nmi custom code was true if _any_ CPU happened to be in NMI context. Now that we have a generic in_nmi interface, this patch changes the function graph code to use it instead of the dynamic ftarce custom code.

This code adds an in_nmi() macro that uses the current tasks preempt count to track when it is in NMI context. Other parts of the kernel can use this to determine if the context is in NMI context or not. This code was inspired by the -rt patch in_nmi version that was written by Peter Zijlstra, who borrowed that code from Mathieu Desnoyers.

Impact: clean up The in_nmi variable in x86 arch ftrace.c is a misnomer. Andrew Morton pointed out that the in_nmi variable is incremented by all CPUS. It can be set when another CPU is running an NMI. Since this is actually intentional, the fix is to rename it to what it really is: "nmi_running" Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

tracing_off() is the fastest way to stop recording to the ring buffers. This may be used in places like panic and die, just before the ftrace_dump is called.

Impact: prevent deadlock in NMI The ring buffers are not yet totally lockless with writing to the buffer. When a writer crosses a page, it grabs a per cpu spinlock to protect against a reader. The spinlocks taken by a writer are not to protect against other writers, since a writer can only write to its own per cpu buffer. The spinlocks protect against readers that can touch any cpu buffer. The writers are made to be reentrant with the spinlocks disabling interrupts. The problem arises when an NMI writes to the buffer, and that write crosses a page boundary. If it grabs a spinlock, it can be racing with another writer (since disabling interrupts does not protect against NMIs) or with a reader on the same CPU. Luckily, most of the users are not reentrant and protects against this issue. But if a user of the ring buffer becomes reentrant (which is what the ring buffers do allow), if the NMI also writes to the ring buffer then we risk the chance of a deadlock. This patch moves the ftrace_nmi_enter called by nmi_enter() to the ring buffer code. It replaces the current ftrace_nmi_enter that is used by arch specific code to arch_ftrace_nmi_enter and updates the Kconfig to handle it. When an NMI is called, it will set a per cpu variable in the ring buffer code and will clear it when the NMI exits. If a write to the ring buffer crosses page boundaries inside an NMI, a trylock is used on the spin lock instead. If the spinlock fails to be acquired, then the entry is discarded. This bug appeared in the ftrace work in the RT tree, where event tracing is reentrant. This workaround solved the deadlocks that appeared there. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

Impact: fix to prevent developers from using entry->cpu With the new ring buffer infrastructure, the cpu for the entry is implicit with which CPU buffer it is on. The original code use to record the current cpu into the generic entry header, which can be retrieved by entry->cpu. When the ring buffer was introduced, the users were convert to use the the cpu number of which cpu ring buffer was in use (this was passed to the tracers by the iterator: iter->cpu). Unfortunately, the cpu item in the entry structure was never removed. This allowed for developers to use it instead of the proper iter->cpu, unknowingly, using an uninitialized variable. This was not the fault of the developers, since it would seem like the logical place to retrieve the cpu identifier. This patch removes the cpu item from the entry structure and fixes all the users that should have been using iter->cpu. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

During early boot, ACPI RSDT/XSDT table entries are gathered into the 'initial_tables[]' array. This array is currently statically defined (see ./drivers/acpi/tables.c). When there are more table entries than can be held in the 'initial_tables[]' array, the message "Truncating N table entries!" is output. As currently implemented, this message will always erroneously calculate N as 0. This patch fixes the calculation that determines how many table entries will be missing (truncated).
