5b34926114 tracing: Don't use p->len field to determine output in __print_*() functions
If more than one __print_*() function is used in a tracepoint
(__print_flags(), __print_symbols(), etc), then the temp seq buffer will
not be zero on entry. Using the temp seq buffer's length to know if
data has been printed or not in the current function is incorrect and
may produce incorrect results.

Currently, no in-tree tracepoint causes this bug, but new ones may
be created.

e404b321db tracing: Don't print an extra separator of flags
If __print_flags() is used after another __print_*() function, the
temp seq_file buffer will not be empty on entry, and the delimiter will
be printed even though there's just one field. We get something like:

	|S

instead of just:

	S

This is because the length of the temp seq buffer is used to determine
if the delimiter is printed or not. But this algorithm fails when
the seq buffer is not empty on entry, and the delimiter will be printed
because it thinks that a previous field was already printed.

77271ce4b2 tracing: Add irq, preempt-count and need resched info to default trace output
People keep asking how to get the preempt count, irq, and need resched info
and we keep telling them to enable the latency format. Some developers think
that traces without this info is completely useless, and for a lot of tasks
it is useless.

The first option was to enable the latency trace as the default format, but
the header for the latency format is pretty useless for most tracers and
it also does the timestamp in straight microseconds from the time the trace
started. This is sometimes more difficult to read as the default trace is
seconds from the start of boot up.

Latency format:

 # tracer: nop
 #
 # nop latency trace v1.1.5 on 3.2.0-rc1-test+
 # --------------------------------------------------------------------
 # latency: 0 us, #159771/64234230, CPU#1 | (M:preempt VP:0, KP:0, SP:0 HP:0 #P:4)

      migration/0-6     [000]    50.025820: debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled <-__schedule

The latency format header has latency information that is pretty meaningless
for most tracers. Although some of the header is useful, and we can add that
later to the default format as well.

What is really useful with the latency format is the irqs-off, need-resched
hard/softirq context and the preempt count.

This commit adds the option irq-info which is on by default that adds this
information:

 # tracer: nop

           <idle>-0     [000] d..2    49.309315: need_resched <-mwait_idle

If a user wants the old format, they can disable the 'irq-info' option:

4a9bd3f134 tracing: Have dynamic size event stack traces
Currently the stack trace per event in ftace is only 8 frames.
This can be quite limiting and sometimes useless. Especially when
the "ignore frames" is wrong and we also use up stack frames for
the event processing itself.

Change this to be dynamic by adding a percpu buffer that we can
write a large stack frame into and then copy into the ring buffer.

For interrupts and NMIs that come in while another event is being
process, will only get to use the 8 frame stack. That should be enough
as the task that it interrupted will have the full stack frame anyway.

ee5e51f51b tracing: Avoid soft lockup in trace_pipe
running following commands:

  # enable the binary option
  echo 1 > ./options/bin
  # disable context info option
  echo 0 > ./options/context-info
  # tracing only events
  echo 1 > ./events/enable
  cat trace_pipe

plus forcing system to generate many tracing events,
is causing lockup (in NON preemptive kernels) inside
tracing_read_pipe function.

The issue is also easily reproduced by running ltp stress test.
(ftrace_stress_test.sh)

The reasons are:
 - bin/hex/raw output functions for events are set to
   trace_nop_print function, which prints nothing and
   returns TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED value
 - LOST EVENT trace do not handle trace_seq overflow

These reasons force the while loop in tracing_read_pipe
function never to break.

The attached patch fixies handling of lost event trace, and
changes trace_nop_print to print minimal info, which is needed
for the correct tracing_read_pipe processing.

v2 changes:
 - omit the cond_resched changes by trace_nop_print changes
 - WARN changed to WARN_ONCE and added info to be able
   to find out the culprit

v3 changes:
 - make more accurate patch comment

e6e1e25935 tracing: Remove lock_depth from event entry
The lock_depth field in the event headers was added as a temporary
data point for help in removing the BKL. Now that the BKL is pretty
much been removed, we can remove this field.

This in turn changes the header from 12 bytes to 8 bytes,
removing the 4 byte buffer that gcc would insert if the first field
in the data load was 8 bytes in size.

bc289ae98b tracing: Reduce latency and remove percpu trace_seq
__print_flags() and __print_symbolic() use percpu trace_seq:

1) Its memory is allocated at compile time, it wastes memory if we don't use tracing.
2) It is percpu data and it wastes more memory for multi-cpus system.
3) It disables preemption when it executes its core routine
   "trace_seq_printf(s, "%s: ", #call);" and introduces latency.

So we move this trace_seq to struct trace_iterator.

a9a5776380 tracing: Allow events to share their print functions
Multiple events may use the same method to print their data.
Instead of having all events have a pointer to their print funtions,
the trace_event structure now points to a trace_event_functions structure
that will hold the way to print ouf the event.

The event itself is now passed to the print function to let the print
function know what kind of event it should print.

This opens the door to consolidating the way several events print
their output.

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename

4900446	1049028	 861512	6810986	 67ed6a	vmlinux.preprint

This change slightly increases the size but is needed for the next change.

d184b31c0e tracing: Add full state to trace_seq
The trace_seq buffer might fill up, and right now one needs to check the
return value of each printf into the buffer to check for that.

Instead, have the buffer keep track of whether it is full or not, and
reject more input if it is full or would have overflowed with an input
that wasn't added.

a63ce5b306 tracing: Buffer the output of seq_file in case of filled buffer
If the seq_read fills the buffer it will call s_start again on the next
itertation with the same position. This causes a problem with the
function_graph tracer because it consumes the iteration in order to
determine leaf functions.

What happens is that the iterator stores the entry, and the function
graph plugin will look at the next entry. If that next entry is a return
of the same function and task, then the function is a leaf and the
function_graph plugin calls ring_buffer_read which moves the ring buffer
iterator forward (the trace iterator still points to the function start
entry).

The copying of the trace_seq to the seq_file buffer will fail if the
seq_file buffer is full. The seq_read will not show this entry.
The next read by userspace will cause seq_read to again call s_start
which will reuse the trace iterator entry (the function start entry).
But the function return entry was already consumed. The function graph
plugin will think that this entry is a nested function and not a leaf.

To solve this, the trace code now checks the return status of the
seq_printf (trace_print_seq). If the writing to the seq_file buffer
fails, we set a flag in the iterator (leftover) and we do not reset
the trace_seq buffer. On the next call to s_start, we check the leftover
flag, and if it is set, we just reuse the trace_seq buffer and do not
call into the plugin print functions.

3e69533b51 tracing: Fix trace_seq_printf() return value
trace_seq_printf() return value is a little ambiguous. It
currently returns the length of the space available in the
buffer. printf usually returns the amount written. This is not
adequate here, because:

  trace_seq_printf(s, "");

is perfectly legal, and returning 0 would indicate that it
failed.

We can always see the amount written by looking at the before
and after values of s->len. This is not quite the same use as
printf. We only care if the string was successfully written to
the buffer or not.

Make trace_seq_printf() return 0 if the trace oversizes the
buffer's free space, 1 otherwise.

b0f56f1a63 trace: Fix missing assignment in trace_ctxwake_*
The state char variable S should be reassigned, if S == 0.

We are missing the state of the task that is going to sleep for the
context switch events (in the raw mode).

Fortunately the problem arises with the sched_switch/wake_up
tracers, not the sched trace events.

The formers are legacy now. But still, that was buggy.

e1af3aec3e tracing: Fix trace_print_seq()
We will lose something if trace_seq->buffer[0] is 0, because the copy length
is calculated by strlen() in seq_puts(), so using seq_write() instead of
seq_puts().

There have a example:
after reboot:

 # echo kmemtrace > current_tracer
 # echo 0 > options/kmem_minimalistic
 # cat trace
 # tracer: kmemtrace
 #
 #

Nothing is exported, because the first byte of trace_seq->buffer[ ]
is KMEMTRACE_USER_ALLOC.

( the value of KMEMTRACE_USER_ALLOC is zero, seeing
  kmemtrace_print_alloc_user() in kernel/trace/kmemtrace.c)

563af16c30 tracing: add annotation to what type of stack trace is recorded
The current method of printing out a stack trace is to add a new line
and print out the trace:

    yum-updatesd-3120  [002]   573.691303:
 => do_softirq
 => irq_exit
 => smp_apic_timer_interrupt
 => apic_timer_interrupt

This looks a bit awkward, and if we have both stack and user stack traces
running, it would be nice to have a title to tell them apart, although
it is easy to tell by the output.

This patch adds an annotation to the start of the stack traces:

            init-1     [003]   929.304979: <stack trace>
 => user_path_at

f11b3f4e29 tracing/events: fix output format of kernel stack
According to "events/ftrace/kernel_stack/format", output format of
kernel stack should use "=>" instead of "<=".

The second problem is that we shouldn't skip the first entry in the stack,
although it seems to be duplicated when used in the "function" tracer,
but events also use it. If we skip the first one, we will drop the topmost
entry of the stack.

The last problem is that if the last entry is ULONG_MAX(0xffffffff), we should
drop it, otherwise it will print a NULL name line.

be74b73a57 tracing: add __print_flags for events
Developers have been asking for the ability in the ftrace event tracer
to display names of bits in a flags variable.

Instead of printing out c2, it would be easier to read FOO|BAR|GOO,
assuming that FOO is bit 1, BAR is bit 6 and GOO is bit 7.

Some examples where this would be useful are the state flags in a context
switch, kmalloc flags, and even permision flags in accessing files.

[
  v2 changes include:

  Frederic Weisbecker's idea of using a mask instead of bits,
  thus we can output GFP_KERNEL instead of GPF_WAIT|GFP_IO|GFP_FS.

  Li Zefan's idea of allowing the caller of __print_flags to add their
  own delimiter (or no delimiter) where we can get for file permissions
  rwx instead of r|w|x.
]

  v3 changes:

   Christoph Hellwig's idea of using an array instead of va_args.

4f5359685a tracing: add trace_event_read_lock()
I found that there is nothing to protect event_hash in
ftrace_find_event(). Rcu protects the event hashlist
but not the event itself while we use it after its extraction
through ftrace_find_event().

This lack of a proper locking in this spot opens a race
window between any event dereferencing and module removal.

Eg:

--Task A--

print_trace_line(trace) {
  event = find_ftrace_event(trace)

--Task B--

trace_module_remove_events(mod) {
  list_trace_events_module(ev, mod) {
    unregister_ftrace_event(ev->event) {
      hlist_del(ev->event->node)
        list_del(....)
    }
  }
}
|--> module removed, the event has been dropped

--Task A--

  event->print(trace); // Dereferencing freed memory

If the event retrieved belongs to a module and this module
is concurrently removed, we may end up dereferencing a data
from a freed module.

RCU could solve this, but it would add latency to the kernel and
forbid tracers output callbacks to call any sleepable code.
So this fix converts 'trace_event_mutex' to a read/write semaphore,
and adds trace_event_read_lock() to protect ftrace_find_event().

060fa5c83e tracing/events: reuse trace event ids after overflow
With modules being able to add trace events, and the max trace event
counter is 16 bits (65536) we can overflow the counter easily
with a simple while loop adding and removing modules that contain
trace events.

This patch links together the registered trace events and on overflow
searches for available trace event ids. It will still fail if
over 65536 events are registered, but considering that a typical
kernel only has 22000 functions, 65000 events should be sufficient.

This patch increases the size of type from 1 byte (256 events) to

28bea271e5 ftrace: ensure every event gets an id
Impact: widen user-space visibe event IDs to all events

generated raw output which needs to be demuxed from the trace.

In order to provide a unique ID for each event, register everybody,
regardless.
