Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "This adds three fixes for the tracing code.

  The first is a bug when ftrace_dump_on_oops is triggered in atomic
  context and function graph tracer is the tracer that is being
  reported.

  The second fix is bad parsing of the trace_events from the kernel
  command line, where it would ignore specific events if the system name
  is used with defining the event(it enables all events within the
  system).

  The last one is a fix to the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(), where a check was
  missing to see if the ptr was incremented to the end of the string,
  but the loop increments it again and can miss the nul delimiter to
  stop processing"

The code that replaces the enum names with the enum values in the
tracepoints' format files could possible miss the end of string nul
character. This was caused by processing things like backslashes, quotes
and other tokens. After processing the tokens, a check for the nul
character needed to be done before continuing the loop, because the loop
incremented the pointer before doing the check, which could bypass the nul
character.

<id>urn:sha1:84fce9db4d7eaebd6cb2ee30c15da6d4e4daf846</id>
<content type='text'>
There is a problem that trace events are not properly enabled with
boot cmdline. The problem is that if we pass "trace_event=kmem:mm_page_alloc"
to the boot cmdline, it enables all kmem trace events, and not just
the page_alloc event.

This is caused by the parsing mechanism. When we parse the cmdline, the buffer
contents is modified due to tokenization. And, if we use this buffer
again, we will get the wrong result.

Unfortunately, this buffer is be accessed three times to set trace events
properly at boot time. So, we need to handle this situation.

There is already code handling ",", but we need another for ":".
This patch adds it.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "Some clean ups and small fixes, but the biggest change is the addition
  of the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro that can be used by tracepoints.

  Tracepoints have helper functions for the TP_printk() called
  __print_symbolic() and __print_flags() that lets a numeric number be
  displayed as a a human comprehensible text.  What is placed in the
  TP_printk() is also shown in the tracepoint format file such that user
  space tools like perf and trace-cmd can parse the binary data and
  express the values too.  Unfortunately, the way the TRACE_EVENT()
  macro works, anything placed in the TP_printk() will be shown pretty
  much exactly as is.  The problem arises when enums are used.  That's
  because unlike macros, enums will not be changed into their values by
  the C pre-processor.  Thus, the enum string is exported to the format
  file, and this makes it useless for user space tools.

  The TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() solves this by converting the enum strings in
  the TP_printk() format into their number, and that is what is shown to
  user space.  For example, the tracepoint tlb_flush currently has this
  in its format file:

     __print_symbolic(REC-&gt;reason,
        { TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH, "flush on task switch" },
        { TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN, "remote shootdown" },
        { TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN, "local shootdown" },
        { TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN, "local mm shootdown" })

  After adding:

     TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH);
     TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN);
     TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN);
     TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN);

  Its format file will contain this:

     __print_symbolic(REC-&gt;reason,
        { 0, "flush on task switch" },
        { 1, "remote shootdown" },
        { 2, "local shootdown" },
        { 3, "local mm shootdown" })"

Several tracepoints use the helper functions __print_symbolic() or
__print_flags() and pass in enums that do the mapping between the
binary data stored and the value to print. This works well for reading
the ASCII trace files, but when the data is read via userspace tools
such as perf and trace-cmd, the conversion of the binary value to a
human string format is lost if an enum is used, as userspace does not
have access to what the ENUM is.

For example, the tracepoint trace_tlb_flush() has:

 __print_symbolic(REC-&gt;reason,
    { TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH, "flush on task switch" },
    { TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN, "remote shootdown" },
    { TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN, "local shootdown" },
    { TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN, "local mm shootdown" })

Which maps the enum values to the strings they represent. But perf and
trace-cmd do no know what value TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN is, and would
not be able to map it.

With TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(), developers can place these in the event header
files and ftrace will convert the enums to their values:

By adding:

 TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH);
 TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN);
 TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN);
 TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN);

 $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tlb/tlb_flush/format
[...]
 __print_symbolic(REC-&gt;reason,
    { 0, "flush on task switch" },
    { 1, "remote shootdown" },
    { 2, "local shootdown" },
    { 3, "local mm shootdown" })

The above is what userspace expects to see, and tools do not need to
be modified to parse them.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "The updates included in this pull request for ftrace are:

   o Several clean ups to the code

     One such clean up was to convert to 64 bit time keeping, in the
     ring buffer benchmark code.

   o Adding of __print_array() helper macro for TRACE_EVENT()

   o Updating the sample/trace_events/ to add samples of different ways
     to make trace events.  Lots of features have been added since the
     sample code was made, and these features are mostly unknown.
     Developers have been making their own hacks to do things that are
     already available.

   o Performance improvements.  Most notably, I found a performance bug
     where a waiter that is waiting for a full page from the ring buffer
     will see that a full page is not available, and go to sleep.  The
     sched event caused by it going to sleep would cause it to wake up
     again.  It would see that there was still not a full page, and go
     back to sleep again, and that would wake it up again, until finally
     it would see a full page.  This change has been marked for stable.

  Other improvements include removing global locks from fast paths"

<title>tracing: Convert the tracing facility over to use tracefs</title>

debugfs was fine for the tracing facility as a quick way to get
an interface. Now that tracing has matured, it should separate itself
from debugfs such that it can be mounted separately without needing
to mount all of debugfs with it. That is, users resist using tracing
because it requires mounting debugfs. Having tracing have its own file
system lets users get the features of tracing without needing to bring
in the rest of the kernel's debug infrastructure.

Another reason for tracefs is that debubfs does not support mkdir.
Currently, to create instances, one does a mkdir in the tracing/instance
directory. This is implemented via a hack that forces debugfs to do
something it is not intended on doing. By converting over to tracefs, this
hack can be removed and mkdir can be properly implemented. This patch does
not address this yet, but it lays the ground work for that to be done.
