      tracing/ftrace: alloc the started cpumask for the trace file · b0dfa978
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Impact: fix a crash while cat trace file
      
      Currently we are using a cpumask to remind each cpu where a
      trace occured. It lets us notice the user that a cpu just had
      its first trace.
      
      But on latest -tip we have the following crash once we cat the trace
      file:

      This is because we alloc the iter->started cpumask on tracing_pipe_open but
      not on tracing_open.
      
      It hadn't been noticed until now because we need to have ring buffer overruns
      to activate the starting of cpu buffer detection.
      
      Also, we need a check to not print the messagge for the first trace on the file.

      ftrace: Add check of sched_stopped for probe_sched_wakeup · 8bcae09b
      Zhaolei authored
      The wakeup tracing in sched_switch does not stop when a user
      disables tracing. This is because the probe_sched_wakeup() is missing
      the check to prevent the wakeup from being traced.

      function-graph: add proper initialization for init task · 5ac9f622
      Steven Rostedt authored
      Impact: fix to crash going to kexec
      
      The init task did not properly initialize the function graph pointers.
      Altough these pointers are NULL, they can not be assumed to be NULL
      for the init task, and must still be properly initialize.
      
      This usually is not an issue since a problem only arises when a task
      exits, and the init tasks do not usually exit. But when doing tests
      with kexec, the init tasks do exit, and the bug appears.
      
      This patch properly initializes the init tasks function graph data
      structures.

      ....
      (It always print the time less than 2200 seconds besides ...)
      Because 'long' is 32bits in i386. ( (1<<31) useconds is about 2200 seconds)

      tracing: remove CALLER_ADDR2 from wakeup tracer · 301fd748
      Steven Rostedt authored
      Maneesh Soni was getting a crash when running the wakeup tracer.
      We debugged it down to the recording of the function with the
      CALLER_ADDR2 macro.  This is used to get the location of the caller
      to schedule.
      
      But the problem comes when schedule is called by assmebly. In the case
      that Maneesh had, retint_careful would call schedule. But retint_careful
      does not set up a proper frame pointer. CALLER_ADDR2 is defined as
      __builtin_return_address(2). This produces the following assembly in
      the wakeup tracer code.
      
         mov    0x0(%rbp),%rcx  <--- get the frame pointer of the caller
         mov    %r14d,%r8d
         mov    0xf2de8e(%rip),%rdi
      
         mov    0x8(%rcx),%rsi  <-- this is __builtin_return_address(1)
         mov    0x28(%rdi,%rax,8),%rbx
      
         mov    (%rcx),%rax  <-- get the frame pointer of the caller's caller
         mov    %r12,%rcx
         mov    0x8(%rax),%rdx <-- this is __builtin_return_address(2)
      
      At the reading of 0x8(%rax) Maneesh's machine would take a fault.
      The reason is that retint_careful did not set up the return address
      and the content of %rax here was zero.
      
      To verify this, I sent Maneesh a patch to create a frame pointer
      in retint_careful. He ran the test again but this time he would take
      the same type of fault from sysret_careful. The retint_careful was no
      longer an issue, but there are other callers that still have issues.
      
      Instead of adding frame pointers for all callers to schedule (in possibly
      all archs), it is much safer to simply not use CALLER_ADDR2. This
      loses out on knowing what called schedule, but the function tracer
      will help there if needed.

      function-graph: prevent more than one tracer registering · 05ce5818

      Impact: prevent crash due to multiple function graph tracers
      
      The function graph tracer can currently only handle a single tracer
      being registered. If another tracer registers with the function
      graph tracer it can crash the system.

      function-graph: moved the timestamp from arch to generic code · 5d1a03dc
      Steven Rostedt authored
      This patch move the timestamp from happening in the arch specific
      code into the general code. This allows for better control by the tracer
      to time manipulation.
