2009-04-14tracing: create automated trace definesSteven Rostedt
This patch lowers the number of places a developer must modify to add new tracepoints. The current method to add a new tracepoint into an existing system is to write the trace point macro in the trace header with one of the macros TRACE_EVENT, TRACE_FORMAT or DECLARE_TRACE, then they must add the same named item into the C file with the macro DEFINE_TRACE(name) and then add the trace point. This change cuts out the needing to add the DEFINE_TRACE(name). Every file that uses the tracepoint must still include the trace/<type>.h file, but the one C file must also add a define before the including of that file. #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS #include <trace/mytrace.h> This will cause the trace/mytrace.h file to also produce the C code necessary to implement the trace point. Note, if more than one trace/<type>.h is used to create the C code it is best to list them all together. #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS #include <trace/foo.h> #include <trace/bar.h> #include <trace/fido.h> Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers and Christoph Hellwig for coming up with the cleaner solution of the define above the includes over my first design to have the C code include a "special" header. This patch converts sched, irq and lockdep and skb to use this new method.

2009-04-14tracing: consolidate trace and trace_event headersSteven Rostedt
Impact: clean up Neil Horman (et. al.) criticized the way the trace events were broken up into two files. The reason for that was that ftrace needed to separate out the declarations from where the #include <linux/tracepoint.h> was used. It then dawned on me that the tracepoint.h header only needs to define the TRACE_EVENT macro if it is not already defined. The solution is simply to test if TRACE_EVENT is defined, and if it is not then the linux/tracepoint.h header can define it. This change consolidates all the <traces>.h and <traces>_event_types.h into the <traces>.h file.

2009-04-14tracing/filters: allow on-the-fly filter switchingTom Zanussi
This patch allows event filters to be safely removed or switched on-the-fly while avoiding the use of rcu or the suspension of tracing of previous versions. It does it by adding a new filter_pred_none() predicate function which does nothing and by never deallocating either the predicates or any of the filter_pred members used in matching; the predicate lists are allocated and initialized during ftrace_event_calls initialization. Whenever a filter is removed or replaced, the filter_pred_* functions currently in use by the affected ftrace_event_call are immediately switched over to to the filter_pred_none() function, while the rest of the filter_pred members are left intact, allowing any currently executing filter_pred_* functions to finish up, using the values they're currently using. In the case of filter replacement, the new predicate values are copied into the old predicates after the above step, and the filter_pred_none() functions are replaced by the filter_pred_* functions for the new filter. In this case, it is possible though very unlikely that a previous filter_pred_* is still running even after the filter_pred_none() switch and the switch to the new filter_pred_*. In that case, however, because nothing has been deallocated in the filter_pred, the worst that can happen is that the old filter_pred_* function sees the new values and as a result produces either a false positive or a false negative, depending on the values it finds. So one downside to this method is that rarely, it can produce a bad match during the filter switch, but it should be possible to live with that, IMHO. The other downside is that at least in this patch the predicate lists are always pre-allocated, taking up memory from the start. They could probably be allocated on first-use, and de-allocated when tracing is completely stopped - if this patch makes sense, I could create another one to do that later on. Oh, and it also places a restriction on the size of __arrays in events, currently set to 128, since they can't be larger than the now embedded str_val arrays in the filter_pred struct.

2009-04-14tracing/filters: use ring_buffer_discard_commit() in filter_check_discard()Tom Zanussi
This patch changes filter_check_discard() to make use of the new ring_buffer_discard_commit() function and modifies the current users to call the old commit function in the non-discard case. It also introduces a version of filter_check_discard() that uses the global trace buffer (filter_current_check_discard()) for those cases. v2 changes: - fix compile error noticed by Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: fweisbec@gmail.com LKML-Reference: <1239178554.10295.36.camel@tropicana> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-04-14tracing/infrastructure: separate event tracer from event supportTom Zanussi
Add a new config option, CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING that gets selected when CONFIG_TRACING is selected and adds everything needed by the stuff in trace_export - basically all the event tracing support needed by e.g. bprint, minus the actual events, which are only included if CONFIG_EVENT_TRACER is selected. So CONFIG_EVENT_TRACER can be used to turn on or off the generated events (what I think of as the 'event tracer'), while CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING turns on or off the base event tracing support used by both the event tracer and the other things such as bprint that can't be configured out.

2009-04-14tracing/filters: use ring_buffer_discard_commit for discarded eventsSteven Rostedt
The ring_buffer_discard_commit makes better usage of the ring_buffer when an event has been discarded. It tries to remove it completely if possible.

2009-04-14ring-buffer: add ring_buffer_discard_commitSteven Rostedt
The ring_buffer_discard_commit is similar to ring_buffer_event_discard but it can only be done on an event that has yet to be commited. Unpredictable results can happen otherwise. The main difference between ring_buffer_discard_commit and ring_buffer_event_discard is that ring_buffer_discard_commit will try to free the data in the ring buffer if nothing has addded data after the reserved event. If something did, then it acts almost the same as ring_buffer_event_discard followed by a ring_buffer_unlock_commit. Note, either ring_buffer_commit_discard and ring_buffer_unlock_commit can be called on an event, not both. This commit also exports both discard functions to be usable by GPL modules.

2009-04-14tracing/filters: add run-time field descriptions to TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT eventsTom Zanussi
This patch adds run-time field descriptions to all the event formats exported using TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT. It also hooks up all the tracers that use them (i.e. the tracers in the 'ftrace subsystem') so they can also have their output filtered by the event-filtering mechanism. When I was testing this, there were a couple of things that fooled me into thinking the filters weren't working, when actually they were - I'll mention them here so others don't make the same mistakes (and file bug reports. ;-) One is that some of the tracers trace multiple events e.g. the sched_switch tracer uses the context_switch and wakeup events, and if you don't set filters on all of the traced events, the unfiltered output from the events without filters on them can make it look like the filtering as a whole isn't working properly, when actually it is doing what it was asked to do - it just wasn't asked to do the right thing. The other is that for the really high-volume tracers e.g. the function tracer, the volume of filtered events can be so high that it pushes the unfiltered events out of the ring buffer before they can be read so e.g. cat'ing the trace file repeatedly shows either no output, or once in awhile some output but that isn't there the next time you read the trace, which isn't what you normally expect when reading the trace file. If you read from the trace_pipe file though, you can catch them before they disappear.

2009-04-13PM/Hibernate: Wait for SCSI devices scan to complete during resumeRafael J. Wysocki
There is a race between resume from hibernation and the asynchronous scanning of SCSI devices and to prevent it from happening we need to call scsi_complete_async_scans() during resume from hibernation. In addition, if the resume from hibernation is userland-driven, it's better to wait for all device probes in the kernel to complete before attempting to open the resume device.

2009-04-13add some long-missing capabilities to fs_maskSerge E. Hallyn
When POSIX capabilities were introduced during the 2.1 Linux cycle, the fs mask, which represents the capabilities which having fsuid==0 is supposed to grant, did not include CAP_MKNOD and CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE. However, before capabilities the privilege to call these did in fact depend upon fsuid==0. This patch introduces those capabilities into the fsmask, restoring the old behavior. See the thread starting at http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/11/157 for reference. Note that if this fix is deemed valid, then earlier kernel versions (2.4 and 2.2) ought to be fixed too.

Impact: broaden lockdep checks Lockdep is disabled after any kernel taints. This might be convenient to ignore bad locking issues which sources come from outside the kernel tree. Nevertheless, it might be a frustrating experience for the staging developers or those who experience a warning but are focused on another things that require lockdep. The v2 of this patch simply don't disable anymore lockdep in case of TAINT_CRAP and TAINT_WARN events.

2009-04-12lockdep: warn about lockdep disabling after kernel taintFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: provide useful missing info for developers Kernel taint can occur in several situations such as warnings, load of prorietary or staging modules, bad page, etc... But when such taint happens, a developer might still be working on the kernel, expecting that lockdep is still enabled. But a taint disables lockdep without ever warning about it. Such a kernel behaviour doesn't really help for kernel development. This patch adds this missing warning. Since the taint is done most of the time after the main message that explain the real source issue, it seems safe to warn about it inside add_taint() so that it appears at last, without hurting the main information. v2: Use a generic helper to disable lockdep instead of an open coded xchg().

2009-04-12tracing, kmemtrace: Make kmem tracepoints use TRACE_EVENT macroZhaolei
TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define tracepoints. Doing so adds these new capabilities to this tracepoint: - 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 Signed-off-by: Zhao Lei <zhaolei@cn.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: Eduard - Gabriel Munteanu <eduard.munteanu@linux360.ro> Acked-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> LKML-Reference: <49DEE6DA.80600@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-04-12x86: fix wrong section of pat_disable & make it staticMarcin Slusarz
pat_disable cannot be __cpuinit anymore because it's called from pat_init and the callchain looks like this: pat_disable [cpuinit] <- pat_init <- generic_set_all <- ipi_handler <- set_mtrr <- (other non init/cpuinit functions) WARNING: arch/x86/mm/built-in.o(.text+0x449e): Section mismatch in reference from the function pat_init() to the function .cpuinit.text:pat_disable() The function pat_init() references the function __cpuinit pat_disable(). This is often because pat_init lacks a __cpuinit annotation or the annotation of pat_disable is wrong. Non CONFIG_X86_PAT version of pat_disable is static inline, so this version can be static too (and there are no callers outside of this file).

Impact: fix section mismatch In arch/x86/kernel/mpparse.c, smp_reserve_bootmem() has been called and also refers to a function which is in .init section. Thus causes the first warning. And check_irq_src() also requires an __init, because it refers to an .init section.

2009-04-11async: Fix module loading async-work regressionLinus Torvalds
Several drivers use asynchronous work to do device discovery, and we synchronize with them in the compiled-in case before we actually try to mount root filesystems etc. However, when compiled as modules, that synchronization is missing - the module loading completes, but the driver hasn't actually finished probing for devices, and that means that any user mode that expects to use the devices after the 'insmod' is now potentially broken. We already saw one case of a similar issue in the ACPI battery code, where the kernel itself expected the module to be all done, and unmapped the init memory - but the async device discovery was still running. That got hacked around by just removing the "__init" (see commit 5d38258ec026921a7b266f4047ebeaa75db358e5 "ACPI battery: fix async boot oops"), but the real fix is to just make the module loading wait for all async work to be completed. It will slow down module loading, but since common devices should be built in anyway, and since the bug is really annoying and hard to handle from user space (and caused several S3 resume regressions), the simple fix to wait is the right one. This fixes at least http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13063 but probably a few other bugzilla entries too (12936, for example), and is confirmed to fix Rafael's storage driver breakage after resume bug report (no bugzilla entry). We should also be able to now revert that ACPI battery fix. Reported-and-tested-by: Rafael J.
