User events: - Use long instead of int for storing the enable set/clear bit, as it was found that big endian machines could end up using the wrong bits. - Split allocating mm and attaching it. This keeps the allocation separate from the registration and avoids various races. - Remove RCU locking around pin_user_pages_remote() as that can schedule. The RCU protection is no longer needed with the above split of mm allocation and attaching. - Rename the "link" fields of the various structs to something more meaningful. - Add comments around user_event_mm struct usage and locking requirements. Timerlat tracer: - Fix missed wakeup of timerlat thread caused by the timerlat interrupt triggering when tracing is off. The timer interrupt handler needs to always wake up the timerlat thread regardless if tracing is enabled or not, otherwise, it will never wake up. Histograms: - Fix regression of breaking the "stacktrace" modifier for variables. That modifier cannot be used for values, but can be used for variables that are passed from one histogram to the next. This was broken when adding the restriction to values as the variable logic used the same code. - Rename the special field "stacktrace" to "common_stacktrace". Special fields (that are not actually part of the event, but can act just like event fields, like 'comm' and 'timestamp') should be prefixed with 'common_' for consistency. To keep backward compatibility, 'stacktrace' can still be used (as with the special field 'cpu'), but can be overridden if the event has a field called 'stacktrace'. - Update the synthetic event selftests to use the new name (synthetic events are created by histograms) Tracing bootup selftests: - Reorganize the code to keep artifacts of the selftests not compiled in when selftests are not configured. - Add various cond_resched() around the selftest code, as the softlock watchdog was triggering much more often. It appears that the kernel runs slower now with full debugging enabled. - While debugging ftrace with ftrace (using an instance ring buffer instead of the top level one), I found that the selftests were disabling prints to the debug instance. This should not happen, as the selftests only disable printing to the main buffer as the selftests examine the main buffer to see if it has what it expects, and prints can make the tests fail. Make the selftests only disable printing to the toplevel buffer, and leave the instance buffers alone. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZHQGJBQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qu6hAQCJ1WebZUTJ/s7pFo36mXirLnrW4afB Ua6sALseqKNesgEAyhLmd2+sMeqmAbCCIUWtcWJb/Pod0jGOt0U8+cBxfw8= =PhaX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v6.4-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: "User events: - Use long instead of int for storing the enable set/clear bit, as it was found that big endian machines could end up using the wrong bits. - Split allocating mm and attaching it.
