Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "This release cycle is rather small. Just a few fixes to tracing. The big change is the addition of the hwlat tracer. It not only detects SMIs, but also other latency that's caused by the hardware.

ftrace: Access ret_stack->subtime only in the function profiler

2016-09-01T16:19:40Z

The subtime is used only for function profiler with function graph tracer enabled. Move the definition of subtime under CONFIG_FUNCTION_PROFILER to reduce the memory usage. Also move the initialization of subtime into the graph entry callback.

ftrace: Add ftrace_graph_ret_addr() stack unwinding helpers

2016-08-24T10:15:14Z

When function graph tracing is enabled for a function, ftrace modifies the stack by replacing the original return address with the address of a hook function (return_to_handler). Stack unwinders need a way to get the original return address. Add an arch-independent helper function for that named ftrace_graph_ret_addr(). This adds two variations of the function: one depends on HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RET_ADDR_PTR, and the other relies on an index state variable. The former is recommended because, in some cases, the latter can cause problems when the unwinder skips stack frames. It can get out of sync with the ret_stack index and wrong addresses can be reported for the stack trace. Once all arches have been ported to use HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RET_ADDR_PTR, we can get rid of the distinction.

ftrace: Add return address pointer to ftrace_ret_stack

2016-08-24T10:15:14Z

Storing this value will help prevent unwinders from getting out of sync with the function graph tracer ret_stack. Now instead of needing a stateful iterator, they can compare the return address pointer to find the right ret_stack entry. Note that an array of 50 ftrace_ret_stack structs is allocated for every task. So when an arch implements this, it will add either 200 or 400 bytes of memory usage per task (depending on whether it's a 32-bit or 64-bit platform).

ftrace: Only allocate the ret_stack 'fp' field when needed

2016-08-24T10:15:14Z

This saves some memory when HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_FP_TEST isn't defined. On x86_64 with newer versions of gcc which have -mfentry, it saves 400 bytes per task.

ftrace: Reduce size of function graph entries

2016-07-05T21:28:30Z

Currently ftrace_graph_ent{,_entry} and ftrace_graph_ret{,_entry} struct can have padding bytes at the end due to alignment in 64-bit data type. As these data are recorded so frequently, those paddings waste non-negligible space. As the ring buffer maintains alignment properly for each architecture, just to remove the extra padding using 'packed' attribute. ftrace_graph_ent_entry: 24 -> 20 ftrace_graph_ret_entry: 48 -> 44 Also I moved the 'overrun' field in struct ftrace_graph_ret to minimize the padding in the middle. Tested on x86_64 only.

arch, ftrace: for KASAN put hard/soft IRQ entries into separate sections

2016-03-25T23:37:42Z

KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler. This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the number of unique stack traces needed to be stored. Move the definition of __irq_entry to so that the users don't need to pull in . Also introduce the __softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.
