tracing: Fix trace_printk() to print when not using bprintk()

2016-04-12T16:12:47Z

commit 3debb0a9ddb16526de8b456491b7db60114f7b5e upstream. The trace_printk() code will allocate extra buffers if the compile detects that a trace_printk() is used. To do this, the format of the trace_printk() is saved to the __trace_printk_fmt section, and if that section is bigger than zero, the buffers are allocated (along with a message that this has happened). If trace_printk() uses a format that is not a constant, and thus something not guaranteed to be around when the print happens, the compiler optimizes the fmt out, as it is not used, and the __trace_printk_fmt section is not filled. This means the kernel will not allocate the special buffers needed for the trace_printk() and the trace_printk() will not write anything to the tracing buffer. Adding a "__used" to the variable in the __trace_printk_fmt section will keep it around, even though it is set to NULL. This will keep the string from being printed in the debugfs/tracing/printk_formats section as it is not needed.

Pull networking updates from David Miller: 1) BPF debugger and asm tool by Daniel Borkmann. 2) Speed up create/bind in AF_PACKET, also from Daniel Borkmann. 3) Correct reciprocal_divide and update users, from Hannes Frederic Sowa and Daniel Borkmann. 4) Currently we only have a "set" operation for the hw timestamp socket ioctl, add a "get" operation to match. From Ben Hutchings. 5) Add better trace events for debugging driver datapath problems, also from Ben Hutchings. 6) Implement auto corking in TCP, from Eric Dumazet. Basically, if we have a small send and a previous packet is already in the qdisc or device queue, defer until TX completion or we get more data. 7) Allow userspace to manage ipv6 temporary addresses, from Jiri Pirko. 8) Add a qdisc bypass option for AF_PACKET sockets, from Daniel Borkmann. 9) Share IP header compression code between Bluetooth and IEEE802154 layers, from Jukka Rissanen. 10) Fix ipv6 router reachability probing, from Jiri Benc. 11) Allow packets to be captured on macvtap devices, from Vlad Yasevich. 12) Support tunneling in GRO layer, from Jerry Chu. 13) Allow bonding to be configured fully using netlink, from Scott Feldman. 14) Allow AF_PACKET users to obtain the VLAN TPID, just like they can already get the TCI. From Atzm Watanabe. 15) New "Heavy Hitter" qdisc, from Terry Lam. 16) Significantly improve the IPSEC support in pktgen, from Fan Du. 17) Allow ipv4 tunnels to cache routes, just like sockets. From Tom Herbert. 18) Add Proportional Integral Enhanced packet scheduler, from Vijay Subramanian. 19) Allow openvswitch to mmap'd netlink, from Thomas Graf. 20) Key TCP metrics blobs also by source address, not just destination address. From Christoph Paasch. 21) Support 10G in generic phylib. From Andy Fleming. 22) Try to short-circuit GRO flow compares using device provided RX hash, if provided. From Tom Herbert.

net: introduce reciprocal_scale helper and convert users

2014-01-22T07:17:20Z

As David Laight suggests, we shouldn't necessarily call this reciprocal_divide() when users didn't requested a reciprocal_value(); lets keep the basic idea and call it reciprocal_scale(). More background information on this topic can be found in [1]. Joint work with Hannes Frederic Sowa.

Merge branch 'core-debug-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

2014-01-20T18:22:12Z

Pull core debug changes from Ingo Molnar: "Currently there are two methods to set the panic_timeout: via 'panic=X' boot commandline option, or via /proc/sys/kernel/panic. This tree adds a third panic_timeout configuration method: configuration via Kconfig, via CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT=X - useful to distros that generally want their kernel defaults to come with the .config. CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT defaults to 0, which was the previous default value of panic_timeout. Doing that unearthed a few arch trickeries regarding arch-special panic_timeout values and related complications - hopefully all resolved to the satisfaction of everyone" * 'core-debug-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: powerpc: Clean up panic_timeout usage MIPS: Remove panic_timeout settings panic: Make panic_timeout configurable

panic: Make panic_timeout configurable

2013-11-26T11:12:26Z

The panic_timeout value can be set via the command line option 'panic=x', or via /proc/sys/kernel/panic, however that is not sufficient when the panic occurs before we are able to set up these values. Thus, add a CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT so that we can set the desired value from the .config. The default panic_timeout value continues to be 0 - wait forever. Also adds set_arch_panic_timeout(new_timeout, arch_default_timeout), which is intended to be used by arches in arch_setup(). The idea being that the new_timeout is only set if the user hasn't changed from the arch_default_timeout.

tracing: Remove unused function ftrace_off_permanent()

2013-11-06T20:26:55Z

In the past, ftrace_off_permanent() was called if something strange was detected. But the ftrace_bug() now handles all the anomolies that can happen with ftrace (function tracing), and there are no uses of ftrace_off_permanent(). Get rid of it. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt
