<content type='text'>
As all architectures now call function_graph_enter() to do the entry work,
no architecture should ever call ftrace_push_return_trace(). Make it static.

This is needed to prepare for a fix of a design bug on how the curr_ret_stack
is used.

<title>function_graph: Create function_graph_enter() to consolidate architecture code</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently all the architectures do basically the same thing in preparing the
function graph tracer on entry to a function. This code can be pulled into a
generic location and then this will allow the function graph tracer to be
fixed, as well as extended.

Create a new function graph helper function_graph_enter() that will call the
hook function (ftrace_graph_entry) and the shadow stack operation
(ftrace_push_return_trace), and remove the need of the architecture code to
manage the shadow stack.

This is needed to prepare for a fix of a design bug on how the curr_ret_stack
is used.

<title>tracing: Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and unify their usage</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c3bc8fd637a9623f5c507bd18f9677effbddf584</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch detaches the preemptirq tracepoints from the tracers and
keeps it separate.

Advantages:
* Lockdep and irqsoff event can now run in parallel since they no longer
have their own calls.

* This unifies the usecase of adding hooks to an irqsoff and irqson
event, and a preemptoff and preempton event.
  3 users of the events exist:
  - Lockdep
  - irqsoff and preemptoff tracers
  - irqs and preempt trace events

The unification cleans up several ifdefs and makes the code in preempt
tracer and irqsoff tracers simpler. It gets rid of all the horrific
ifdeferry around PROVE_LOCKING and makes configuration of the different
users of the tracepoints more easy and understandable. It also gets rid
of the time_* function calls from the lockdep hooks used to call into
the preemptirq tracer which is not needed anymore. The negative delta in
lines of code in this patch is quite large too.

In the patch we introduce a new CONFIG option PREEMPTIRQ_TRACEPOINTS
as a single point for registering probes onto the tracepoints. With
this,
the web of config options for preempt/irq toggle tracepoints and its
users becomes:

 PREEMPT_TRACER   PREEMPTIRQ_EVENTS  IRQSOFF_TRACER PROVE_LOCKING
       |                 |     \         |           |
       \    (selects)    /      \        \ (selects) /
      TRACE_PREEMPT_TOGGLE       ----&gt; TRACE_IRQFLAGS
                      \                  /
                       \ (depends on)   /
                     PREEMPTIRQ_TRACEPOINTS

Other than the performance tests mentioned in the previous patch, I also
ran the locking API test suite. I verified that all tests cases are
passing.

I also injected issues by not registering lockdep probes onto the
tracepoints and I see failures to confirm that the probes are indeed
working.

This series + lockdep probes not registered (just to inject errors):
[    0.000000]      hard-irqs-on + irq-safe-A/21:  ok  |  ok  |  ok  |

Remove ftrace_nr_registered_ops() because it is no longer used.

ftrace_nr_registered_ops() has been introduced by commit ea701f11da44
("ftrace: Add selftest to test function trace recursion protection"), but
its caller has been removed by commit 05cbbf643b8e ("tracing: Fix selftest
function recursion accounting"). So it is not called anymore.

clear_ftrace_function is not used outside of ftrace.c and is not help to
use a function, so nuke it per Steve's suggestion.

Pull init_task initializer cleanups from David Howells:
 "It doesn't seem useful to have the init_task in a header file rather
  than in a normal source file. We could consolidate init_task handling
  instead and expand out various macros.

  Here's a series of patches that consolidate init_task handling:

   (1) Make THREAD_SIZE available to vmlinux.lds for cris, hexagon and
       openrisc.

   (2) Alter the INIT_TASK_DATA linker script macro to set
       init_thread_union and init_stack rather than defining these in C.

       Insert init_task and init_thread_into into the init_stack area in
       the linker script as appropriate to the configuration, with
       different section markers so that they end up correctly ordered.

       We can then get merge ia64's init_task.c into the main one.

       We then have a bunch of single-use INIT_*() macros that seem only
       to be macros because they used to be used per-arch. We can then
       expand these in place of the user and get rid of a few lines and
       a lot of backslashes.

   (3) Expand INIT_TASK() in place.

   (4) Expand in place various small INIT_*() macros that are defined
       conditionally. Expand them and surround them by #if[n]def/#endif
       in the .c file as it takes fewer lines.

   (5) Expand INIT_SIGNALS() and INIT_SIGHAND() in place.

   (6) Expand INIT_STRUCT_PID in place.

  These macros can then be discarded"

<title>ftrace, orc, x86: Handle ftrace dynamically allocated trampolines</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6be7fa3c74d1e0cd50f2157b5c1524f152bf641e</id>
<content type='text'>
The function tracer can create a dynamically allocated trampoline that is
called by the function mcount or fentry hook that is used to call the
function callback that is registered. The problem is that the orc undwinder
will bail if it encounters one of these trampolines. This breaks the stack
trace of function callbacks, which include the stack tracer and setting the
stack trace for individual functions.

Since these dynamic trampolines are basically copies of the static ftrace
trampolines defined in ftrace_*.S, we do not need to create new orc entries
for the dynamic trampolines. Finding the return address on the stack will be
identical as the functions that were copied to create the dynamic
trampolines. When encountering a ftrace dynamic trampoline, we can just use
the orc entry of the ftrace static function that was copied for that
trampoline.
