cpu_workqueue_stats->first_entry is useless because we can retrieve the

v3: zhaolei@cn.fujitsu.com: Change TRACE_EVENT definition to new format
introduced by Steven Rostedt: consolidate trace and trace_event headers
v2: kosaki@jp.fujitsu.com: print the function names instead of addr, and zap
the work addr
v1: zhaolei@cn.fujitsu.com: Make workqueue tracepoints use TRACE_EVENT macro
TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define tracepoints.
Doing so adds these new capabilities to the tracepoints:
- zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing
- binary tracing without printf overhead
- structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events
- trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins
- user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions
Then, this patch converts DEFINE_TRACE to TRACE_EVENT in workqueue related
tracepoints.

s390 code uses smp_processor_id() in __raw_spin_lock() code which
reveals that a (raw) spinlock is taken without preemption disabled.

This patch adds __print_symbolic which is similar to __print_flags but
works for an enumeration type instead. That is, there is only a one to one
mapping between the values and the symbols. When a match is made, then
it is printed, otherwise the hex value is outputed.

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.

If we enable a trace event alone without any tracer running (such as
function tracer, sched switch tracer, etc...) it can't output enough
task command information.
We need to use the tracing_{start/stop}_cmdline_record() helpers
which are designed to keep track of cmdlines for any tasks that
were scheduled during the tracing.

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().

debugfs directory entries for devices are not removed on some
of the failure pathes in do_blk_trace_setup().
One way to reproduce is to start blktrace on multiple devices
with insufficient Vmalloc space: Devices will fail with
a message like this:
BLKTRACESETUP(2) /dev/sdu failed: 5/Input/output error
If so, the respective entries in debugfs
(e.g. /sys/kernel/debug/block/sdu) will remain and subsequent
attempts to start blktrace on the respective devices will not
succeed due to existing directories.

kgdb: gdb documentation fix
kgdb,i386: use address that SP register points to in the exception frame

|

Commit 79e539453b34e35f39299a899d263b0a1f1670bd introduced a
regression where you cannot use sysrq 'g' to enter kgdb. The solution
is to move the intel fb sysrq over to V for video instead of G for
graphics. The SMP VOYAGER code to register for the sysrq-v is not
anywhere to be found in the mainline kernel, so the comments in the
code were cleaned up as well.
This patch also cleans up the sysrq definitions for kgdb to make it
generic for the kernel debugger, such that the sysrq 'g' can be used
in the future to enter a gdbstub or another kernel debugger.

This reverts commit fafd688e4c0c34da0f3de909881117d374e4c7af.
Work is progressing to switch away from pdflush as the process backing
for flushing out dirty data. So it seems pointless to add more knobs
to control pdflush threads. The original author of the patch did not
have any specific use cases for adding the knobs, so we can easily
revert this before 2.6.30 to avoid having to maintain this API
forever.

The system enabling of events uses the same code as the set_event file.
It passes in the name of the system to the parser and that will enable
all the events that has that system as a name.
The problem is that it will also enable events with the same name as the
system.
If you have system name foo, and system name bar, but within the system
bar, there exists an event called foo. By setting the system name foo,
you will also be enabling the event foo in the system bar. This is not
an expected result.
The solution is to pass in "foo:*", which will only enable the system
foo and not events called foo.

In filter_add_subsystem_pred() we should release event_mutex before
calling filter_free_subsystem_preds(), since both functions hold
event_mutex.

When we set a filter for an event, such as:
echo "name == my_lock_name" > \
/debug/tracing/events/lockdep/lock_acquired/filter
then the following order of token type is parsed:
- space
- operator
- parentheses
- operand
Because the operators and parentheses have a higher precedence
than the operand characters, which is normal, then we can't
use any string containing such special characters:
()=<>!&|
To get this support and also avoid ambiguous intepretation from
the parser or the human, we can do it using double quotes so that
we keep the usual languages habits.
Then after this patch you can still declare string condition like
before:
echo name == myname
But if you want to compare against a string containing an operator
character, you can use double quotes:
echo 'name == "&myname"'
Don't forget to include the whole expression into single quotes or
the double ones will be eaten by echo.

Currently the filtering infrastructure supports well the
numeric types and fixed sized array types.
But the recently added __string() field uses a specific
indirect offset mechanism which requires a specific
predicate. Until now it wasn't supported.
This patch adds this support and implies very few changes,
only a new predicate is needed, the management of this specific
field can be done through the usual string helpers in the
filtering infrastructure.

With the current event directory, you can only enable individual events.
The file debugfs/tracing/set_event is used to be able to enable or
disable several events at once. But that can still be awkward.
This patch adds hierarchical enabling of events. That is, each directory
in debugfs/tracing/events has an "enable" file. This file can enable
or disable all events within the directory and below.
# echo 1 > /debugfs/tracing/events/enable
will enable all events.
# echo 1 > /debugfs/tracing/events/sched/enable
will enable all events in the sched subsystem.
# echo 1 > /debugfs/tracing/events/enable
# echo 0 > /debugfs/tracing/events/irq/enable
will enable all events, but then disable just the irq subsystem events.
When reading one of these enable files, there are four results:
0 - all events this file affects are disabled
1 - all events this file affects are enabled
X - there is a mixture of events enabled and disabled
? - this file does not affect any event

Li Zefan found that there's a race using the event ids of events and
modules. When a module is loaded, an event id is incremented. We only
have 16 bits for event ids (65536) and there is a possible (but highly
unlikely) race that we could load and unload a module that registers
events so many times that the event id counter overflows.
When it overflows, it then restarts and goes looking for available
ids. An id is available if it was added by a module and released.
The race is if you have one module add an id, and then is removed.
Another module loaded can use that same event id. But if the old module
still had events in the ring buffer, the new module's call back would
get bogus data. At best (and most likely) the output would just be
garbage. But if the module for some reason used pointers (not recommended)
then this could potentially crash.
The safest thing to do is just reset the ring buffer if a module that
registered events is removed.

When building with gcc 3.2 I get thousands of warnings such as
include/linux/gfp.h: In function `allocflags_to_migratetype':
include/linux/gfp.h:105: warning: null format string
due to passing a NULL format string to warn_slowpath() in
#define __WARN() warn_slowpath(__FILE__, __LINE__, NULL)
Split this case out into a separate call. This also shrinks the kernel
slightly:
text data bss dec hex filename
4802274 707668 712704 6222646 5ef336 vmlinux
text data bss dec hex filename
4799027 703572 712704 6215303 5ed687 vmlinux
due to removeing one argument from the commonly-called __WARN().

There is what we believe to be a false positive reported by lockdep.
inotify_inode_queue_event() => take inotify_mutex => kernel_event() =>
kmalloc() => SLOB => alloc_pages_node() => page reclaim => slab reclaim =>
dcache reclaim => inotify_inode_is_dead => take inotify_mutex => deadlock
The plan is to fix this via lockdep annotation, but that is proving to be
quite involved.
The patch flips the allocation over to GFP_NFS to shut the warning up, for
the 2.6.30 release.
Hopefully we will fix this for real in 2.6.31. I'll queue a patch in -mm
to switch it back to GFP_KERNEL so we don't forget.

The ring buffer benchmark/test runs a producer for 10 seconds.
This is done with preemption and interrupts enabled. But if the kernel
is not compiled with CONFIG_PREEMPT, it basically stops everything
but interrupts for 10 seconds.
Although this is just a test and is not for production, this attribute
can be quite annoying. It can also spawn badness elsewhere.
This patch solves the issues by calling "cond_resched" when the system
is not compiled with CONFIG_PREEMPT. It also keeps track of the time
spent to call cond_resched such that it does not go against the
time calculations. That is, if the task schedules away, the time scheduled
out is removed from the test data. Note, this only works for non PREEMPT
because we do not know when the task is scheduled out if we have PREEMPT
enabled.

Ingo Molnar thought the code would be cleaner if we used a function call
instead of a goto for moving the tail page. After implementing this,
it seems that gcc still inlines the result and the output is pretty much
the same. Since this is considered a cleaner approach, might as well
implement it.
