The names used to display the field and type in the event format
files are copied, as well as the system name that is displayed.

All these names are created by constant values passed in.
If one of theses values were to be removed by a module, the module
would also be required to remove any event it created.

By using the strings directly, we can save over 100K of memory.

The event structures used by the trace events are mostly persistent,
but they are also allocated by kmalloc, which is not the best at
allocating space for what is used. By converting these kmallocs
into kmem_cache_allocs, we can save over 50K of space that is
permanently allocated.

After boot we have:

 slab name          active allocated size
 ---------          ------ --------- ----
ftrace_event_file    979   1005     56   67    1
ftrace_event_field   2301   2310     48   77    1

The ftrace_event_file has at boot up 979 active objects out of
1005 allocated in the slabs. Each object is 56 bytes. In a normal
kmalloc, that would allocate 64 bytes for each object.

 1005 - 979  = 26 objects not used
 26 * 56 = 1456 bytes wasted

But if we used kmalloc:

 64 - 56 = 8 bytes unused per allocation
 8 * 979 = 7832 bytes wasted

 7832 - 1456 = 6376 bytes in savings

Doing the same for ftrace_event_field where there's 2301 objects
allocated in a slab that can hold 2310 with 48 bytes each we have:

 2310 - 2301 = 9 objects not used
 9 * 48 = 432 bytes wasted

A kmalloc would also use 64 bytes per object:

 64 - 48 = 16 bytes unused per allocation
 16 * 2301 = 36816 bytes wasted!

 36816 - 432 = 36384 bytes in savings

This change gives us a total of 42760 bytes in savings. At least
on my machine, but as there's a lot of these persistent objects
for all configurations that use trace points, this is a net win.

Thanks to Ezequiel Garcia for his trace_analyze presentation which
pointed out the wasted space in my code.

With the new descriptors used to allow multiple buffers in the
tracing directory added, the kernel command line parameter
trace_events=... no longer works. This is because the top level
(global) trace array now has a list of descriptors associated
with the events and the files in the debugfs directory. But in
early bootup, when the command line is processed and the events
enabled, the trace array list of events has not been set up yet.

Without the list of events in the trace array, the setting of
events to record will fail because it would not match any events.

The solution is to set up the top level array in two stages.
The first is to just add the ftrace file descriptors that just point
to the events. This will allow events to be enabled and start tracing.
The second stage is called after the filesystem is set up, and this
stage will create the debugfs event files and directories associated
with the trace array events.

Add a method to the hijacked dentry descriptor of the
"instances" directory to allow for rmdir to remove an
instance of a multibuffer.

Example:

  cd /debug/tracing/instances
  mkdir hello
  ls
hello/
  rmdir hello
  ls

Like the mkdir method, the i_mutex is dropped for the instances
directory. The instances directory is created at boot up and can
not be renamed or removed. The trace_types_lock mutex is used to
synchronize adding and removing of instances.

I've run several stress tests with different threads trying to
create and delete directories of the same name, and it has stood
up fine.

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.

Pass the struct ftrace_event_file *ftrace_file to the

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.

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.

Changing the overwrite mode for the ring buffer via the trace
option only sets the normal buffer. But the snapshot buffer could

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().

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.

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.

 # tracer: nop

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)

 "A lot of reorganization is going on mostly to prepare for worker pools

  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.

     function pointers.  As a result the interrupt remapping code is
     better abstraced from x86 core interrupt handling code.

   - Various smaller improvements, fixes and cleanups."

Pull timer changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "Main changes:

   - ntp: Add CONFIG_RTC_SYSTOHC: a generic RTC driver facility
     complementing the existing CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS, which uses NTP to
     keep the hardware clock updated.

   - posix-timers: Fix clock_adjtime to always return timex data on
     success.  This is changing the ABI, but no breakage was expected
     and found - caution is warranted nevertheless.

   - platform persistent clock improvements/cleanups.

   - clockevents: refactor timer broadcast handling to be more generic
     and less duplicated with matching architecture code (mostly ARM
     motivated.)

   - various fixes and cleanups"

  - sched_rr_get_interval() ABI fix/change.  We think this detail is not
    used by apps (so it's not an ABI in practice), but lets keep it
    under observation.
