<id>urn:sha1:321e68b095addc473ca52ced9acfa59be88f76e6</id>
<content type='text'>
The display of absolute time and duration fields is based on the
latency field. This was added during the irqsoff/wakeup tracers
graph support changes.

It's causing confusion in what fields will be displayed for the
function_graph tracer itself. So I'm removing this depency, and
adding absolute time and duration fields to the preemptirqsoff
preemptoff irqsoff wakeup tracers.

With following commands:
	# echo function_graph &gt; ./current_tracer
	# cat trace

This is what it looked like before:
# tracer: function_graph
#
#     TIME        CPU  DURATION                  FUNCTION CALLS
#      |          |     |   |                     |   |   |   |
 0)   0.068 us    |          } /* page_add_file_rmap */
 0)               |          _raw_spin_unlock() {
...

This is what it looks like now:
# tracer: function_graph
#
# CPU  DURATION                  FUNCTION CALLS
# |     |   |                     |   |   |   |
 0)   0.068 us    |                } /* add_preempt_count */
 0)   0.993 us    |              } /* vfsmount_lock_local_lock */
...

For preemptirqsoff preemptoff irqsoff wakeup tracers,
this is what it looked like before:
SNIP
#                       _-----=&gt; irqs-off
#                      / _----=&gt; need-resched

 1)    &lt;idle&gt;-0    |  d..1  0.000 us    |  acpi_idle_enter_simple();

This is what it looks like now:

ftrace_ops that are registered to trace functions can now be
agnostic to each other in respect to what functions they trace.
Each ops has their own hash of the functions they want to trace
and a hash to what they do not want to trace. A empty hash for
the functions they want to trace denotes all functions should
be traced that are not in the notrace hash.

The function start_func_tracer() was incorrectly added in the
 #ifdef CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER condition, but is still used even
when function tracing is not enabled.

The calls to register_ftrace_function() and register_ftrace_graph()
become nops (and their arguments are even ignored), thus there is
no reason to hide start_func_tracer() when function tracing is
not enabled.

<content type='text'>
The wakeup tracer has three types of function tracers. Normal
function tracer, function graph entry, and function graph return.
Each of these use a complex dance to prevent recursion and whether
to trace the data or not (depending on the wake_task variable).

This patch moves the duplicate code into a single routine, to
prevent future mistakes with modifying duplicate complex code.

<title>tracing: Shrink max latency ringbuffer if unnecessary</title>

Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt says

  buffer_size_kb:

        This sets or displays the number of kilobytes each CPU
        buffer can hold. The tracer buffers are the same size
        for each CPU. The displayed number is the size of the
        CPU buffer and not total size of all buffers. The
        trace buffers are allocated in pages (blocks of memory
        that the kernel uses for allocation, usually 4 KB in size).
        If the last page allocated has room for more bytes
        than requested, the rest of the page will be used,
        making the actual allocation bigger than requested.
        ( Note, the size may not be a multiple of the page size
          due to buffer management overhead. )

        This can only be updated when the current_tracer
        is set to "nop".

But it's incorrect. currently total memory consumption is
'buffer_size_kb x CPUs x 2'.

Why two times difference is there? because ftrace implicitly allocate
the buffer for max latency too.

That makes sad result when admin want to use large buffer. (If admin
want full logging and makes detail analysis). example, If admin
have 24 CPUs machine and write 200MB to buffer_size_kb, the system
consume ~10GB memory (200MB x 24 x 2). umm.. 5GB memory waste is
usually unacceptable.

Fortunatelly, almost all users don't use max latency feature.
The max latency buffer can be disabled easily.

This patch shrink buffer size of the max latency buffer if
unnecessary.

<title>tracing: Remove ftrace_preempt_disable/enable</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5168ae50a66e3ff7184c2b16d661bd6d70367e50</id>
<content type='text'>
The ftrace_preempt_disable/enable functions were to address a
recursive race caused by the function tracer. The function tracer
traces all functions which makes it easily susceptible to recursion.
One area was preempt_enable(). This would call the scheduler and
the schedulre would call the function tracer and loop.
(So was it thought).

The ftrace_preempt_disable/enable was made to protect against recursion
inside the scheduler by storing the NEED_RESCHED flag. If it was
set before the ftrace_preempt_disable() it would not call schedule
on ftrace_preempt_enable(), thinking that if it was set before then
it would have already scheduled unless it was already in the scheduler.

This worked fine except in the case of SMP, where another task would set
the NEED_RESCHED flag for a task on another CPU, and then kick off an
IPI to trigger it. This could cause the NEED_RESCHED to be saved at
ftrace_preempt_disable() but the IPI to arrive in the the preempt
disabled section. The ftrace_preempt_enable() would not call the scheduler
because the flag was already set before entring the section.

This bug would cause a missed preemption check and cause lower latencies.

Investigating further, I found that the recusion caused by the function
tracer was not due to schedule(), but due to preempt_schedule(). Now
that preempt_schedule is completely annotated with notrace, the recusion
no longer is an issue.

<title>tracing: Let tracepoints have data passed to tracepoint callbacks</title>

<id>urn:sha1:38516ab59fbc5b3bb278cf5e1fe2867c70cff32e</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds data to be passed to tracepoint callbacks.

The created functions from DECLARE_TRACE() now need a mandatory data
parameter. For example:

DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, int value, value)

Will create the register function:

int register_trace_mytracepoint((void(*)(void *data, int value))probe,
                                void *data);

As the first argument, all callbacks (probes) must take a (void *data)
parameter. So a callback for the above tracepoint will look like:

void myprobe(void *data, int value)
{
}

The callback may choose to ignore the data parameter.

This change allows callbacks to register a private data pointer along
with the function probe.

	void mycallback(void *data, int value);

	register_trace_mytracepoint(mycallback, mydata);

Then the mycallback() will receive the "mydata" as the first parameter
before the args.

A more detailed example:

  DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(int status), TP_ARGS(status));

  /* In the C file */

  DEFINE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(int status), TP_ARGS(status));

  [...]

       trace_mytracepoint(status);

  /* In a file registering this tracepoint */

  int my_callback(void *data, int status)
  {
	struct my_struct my_data = data;
	[...]
  }

  [...]
	my_data = kmalloc(sizeof(*my_data), GFP_KERNEL);
	init_my_data(my_data);
	register_trace_mytracepoint(my_callback, my_data);

The same callback can also be registered to the same tracepoint as long
as the data registered is different. Note, the data must also be used
to unregister the callback:

	unregister_trace_mytracepoint(my_callback, my_data);

Because of the data parameter, tracepoints declared this way can not have
no args. That is:

  DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(void), TP_ARGS());

will cause an error.

If no arguments are needed, a new macro can be used instead:

  DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS(mytracepoint);

Since there are no arguments, the proto and args fields are left out.

This is part of a series to make the tracepoint footprint smaller:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
4913961	1088356	 861512	6863829	 68bbd5	vmlinux.orig
4914025	1088868	 861512	6864405	 68be15	vmlinux.class
4918492	1084612	 861512	6864616	 68bee8	vmlinux.tracepoint

Again, this patch also increases the size of the kernel, but
lays the ground work for decreasing it.

 v5: Fixed net/core/drop_monitor.c to handle these updates.

 v4: Moved the DECLARE_TRACE() DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS out of the
     #ifdef CONFIG_TRACE_POINTS, since the two are the same in both
     cases. The __DECLARE_TRACE() is what changes.
     Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for pointing this out.

 v3: Made all register_* functions require data to be passed and
     all callbacks to take a void * parameter as its first argument.
     This makes the calling functions comply with C standards.

     Also added more comments to the modifications of DECLARE_TRACE().

 v2: Made the DECLARE_TRACE() have the ability to pass arguments
     and added a new DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS() for tracepoints that
     do not need any arguments.

struct rq isn't visible outside of sched.o so its near useless to
