<content type='text'>
The set_event_pid filter relies on attaching to the sched_switch and
sched_wakeup tracepoints to see if it should filter the tracing on schedule
tracepoints. By adding the callbacks to sched_wakeup, pids in the
set_event_pid file will trace the wakeups of those tasks with those pids.

But sched_wakeup_new and sched_waking were missed. These two should also be
traced. Luckily, these tracepoints share the same class as sched_wakeup
which means they can use the same pre and post callbacks as sched_wakeup
does.

Pull tracking updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "Most of the changes are clean ups and small fixes.  Some of them have
  stable tags to them.  I searched through my INBOX just as the merge
  window opened and found lots of patches to pull.  I ran them through
  all my tests and they were in linux-next for a few days.

  Features added this release:
  ----------------------------

   - Module globbing.  You can now filter function tracing to several
     modules.  # echo '*:mod:*snd*' &gt; set_ftrace_filter (Dmitry Safonov)

   - Tracer specific options are now visible even when the tracer is not
     active.  It was rather annoying that you can only see and modify
     tracer options after enabling the tracer.  Now they are in the
     options/ directory even when the tracer is not active.  Although
     they are still only visible when the tracer is active in the
     trace_options file.

   - Trace options are now per instance (although some of the tracer
     specific options are global)

   - New tracefs file: set_event_pid.  If any pid is added to this file,
     then all events in the instance will filter out events that are not
     part of this pid.  sched_switch and sched_wakeup events handle next
     and the wakee pids"

<title>tracing: Put back comma for empty fields in boot string parsing</title>

<id>urn:sha1:43ed384339ae67a74a8ba4851268b23216ef7a44</id>
<content type='text'>
Both early_enable_events() and apply_trace_boot_options() parse a boot
string that may get parsed later on. They both use strsep() which converts a
comma into a nul character. To still allow the boot string to be parsed
again the same way, the nul character gets converted back to a comma after
the token is processed.

The problem is that these two functions check for an empty parameter (two
commas in a row ",,"), and continue the loop if the parameter is empty, but
fails to place the comma back. In this case, the second parsing will end at
this blank field, and not process fields afterward.

In most cases, users should not have an empty field, but if its going to be
checked, the code might as well be correct.

For the case where pids are already in set_event_pid, and one is added or
removed then each CPU should be checked to make sure that the new or old pid
is on or not on a CPU.

 For example:

 # echo 123 &gt;&gt; set_event_pid

or

 # echo '!123' &gt;&gt; set_event_pid

p_start() and p_stop() are seq_file functions that match. Teach sparse to
know that rcu_read_lock_sched() that is taken by p_start() is released by
p_stop.

<title>tracing: Check all tasks on each CPU when filtering pids</title>

My tests found that if a task is running but not filtered when set_event_pid
is modified, then it can still be traced.

Call on_each_cpu() to check if the current running task should be filtered
and update the per cpu flags of tr-&gt;data appropriately.

<content type='text'>
Add the necessary hooks to use the pids loaded in set_event_pid to filter
all the events enabled in the tracing instance that match the pids listed.

Two probes are added to both sched_switch and sched_wakeup tracepoints to be
called before other probes are called and after the other probes are called.
The first is used to set the necessary flags to let the probes know to test
if they should be traced or not.

The sched_switch pre probe will set the "ignore_pid" flag if neither the
previous or next task has a matching pid.

The sched_switch probe will set the "ignore_pid" flag if the next task
does not match the matching pid.

The pre probe allows for probes tracing sched_switch to be traced if
necessary.

The sched_wakeup pre probe will set the "ignore_pid" flag if neither the
current task nor the wakee task has a matching pid.

The sched_wakeup post probe will set the "ignore_pid" flag if the current
task does not have a matching pid.

Create a tracing directory called set_event_pid, which currently has no
function, but will be used to filter all events for the tracing instance or
the pids that are added to the file.

The reason no functionality is added with this commit is that this commit
focuses on the creation and removal of the pids in a safe manner. And tests
can be made against this change to make sure things are correct before
hooking features to the list of pids.

<title>tracing: Use kstrdup_const instead of private implementation</title>

<id>urn:sha1:79ac6ef521075d0f40805df77e8890c55f538fe4</id>
<content type='text'>
The kernel now has kstrdup_const/kfree_const for reusing .rodata
(typically string literals) when possible; there's no reason to
duplicate that logic in the tracing system. Moreover, as the comment
above core_kernel_data states, it may not always return true for
.rodata - that is for example the case on x86_64, where we thus end up
kstrdup'ing all the passed-in strings.

Arguably, testing for .rodata explicitly (as kstrdup_const does) is
also more correct: I don't think one is supposed to be able to change
the name after creating the event_subsystem by passing the address of
a static char (but non-const) array.

In preparation for the multi buffer instances to have their own trace_flags,
the check in ftrace_trace_stack() needs to test the trace_array descriptor
flag that is for the current event, not the global_trace descriptor.
