We only need to call it to resolve the blk_status_t -&gt; errno mapping for
tracing, so move the conversion into the tracepoints that are not called
at all when tracing isn't enabled.

These debugfs dentries do not need to be saved for anything as the whole
directory and everything in it is properly cleaned up when the parent
directory is removed.  So remove them from struct blk_trace and don't
save them when created as it's not necessary.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Update to the way irqs and preemption is tracked via the trace event
   PC field

 - Fix handling of unregistering event failing due to allocate memory.
   This is only triggered by failure injection, as it is pretty much
   guaranteed to have less than a page allocation succeed.

 - Do not show the useless "filter" or "enable" files for the "ftrace"
   trace system, as they have no effect on doing anything.

 - Add a warning if kprobes are registered more than once.

 - Synthetic events now have their fields parsed by semicolons. Old
   formats without semicolons will still work, but new features will
   require them.

 - New option to allow trace events to show %p without hashing in trace
   file. The trace file can only be read by root, and reading the raw
   event buffer did not have any pointers hashed, so this does not
   expose anything new.

 - New directory in tools called tools/tracing, where a new tool that
   reads sequential latency reports from the ftrace latency tracers.

 - Other minor fixes and cleanups.

The last parameter for the function blk_fill_rwbs() was added in
5782138e47 ("tracing/events: convert block trace points to
TRACE_EVENT()") in order to signal read request and use of that parameter
was replaced with using switch case REQ_OP_READ with
1b9a9ab78b0 ("blktrace: use op accessors"), but the parameter was never
removed.

Remove the unused parameter and adjust the respective call sites.

Fixes: 1b9a9ab78b0 ("blktrace: use op accessors")

<title>tracing: Merge irqflags + preempt counter.</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=36590c50b2d0729952511129916beeea30d31d81'/>
<id>36590c50b2d0729952511129916beeea30d31d81</id>
<content type='text'>
The state of the interrupts (irqflags) and the preemption counter are
both passed down to tracing_generic_entry_update(). Only one bit of
irqflags is actually required: The on/off state. The complete 32bit
of the preemption counter isn't needed. Just whether of the upper bits
(softirq, hardirq and NMI) are set and the preemption depth is needed.

The irqflags and the preemption counter could be evaluated early and the
information stored in an integer `trace_ctx'.
tracing_generic_entry_update() would use the upper bits as the
TRACE_FLAG_* and the lower 8bit as the disabled-preemption depth
(considering that one must be substracted from the counter in one
special cases).

The actual preemption value is not used except for the tracing record.
The `irqflags' variable is mostly used only for the tracing record. An
exception here is for instance wakeup_tracer_call() or
probe_wakeup_sched_switch() which explicilty disable interrupts and use
that `irqflags' to save (and restore) the IRQ state and to record the
state.

Struct trace_event_buffer has also the `pc' and flags' members which can
be replaced with `trace_ctx' since their actual value is not used
outside of trace recording.

This will reduce tracing_generic_entry_update() to simply assign values
to struct trace_entry. The evaluation of the TRACE_FLAG_* bits is moved
to _tracing_gen_ctx_flags() which replaces preempt_count() and
local_save_flags() invocations.

As an example, ftrace_syscall_enter() may invoke:
- trace_buffer_lock_reserve() -&gt; … -&gt; tracing_generic_entry_update()
- event_trigger_unlock_commit()
  -&gt; ftrace_trace_stack() -&gt; … -&gt; tracing_generic_entry_update()
  -&gt; ftrace_trace_userstack() -&gt; … -&gt; tracing_generic_entry_update()

In this case the TRACE_FLAG_* bits were evaluated three times. By using
the `trace_ctx' they are evaluated once and assigned three times.

A build with all tracers enabled on x86-64 with and without the patch:

    text     data      bss      dec      hex    filename
21970669 17084168  7639260 46694097  2c87ed1 vmlinux.old
21970293 17084168  7639260 46693721  2c87d59 vmlinux.new

text shrank by 379 bytes, data remained constant.

<title>block: store a block_device pointer in struct bio</title>

Replace the gendisk pointer in struct bio with a pointer to the newly
improved struct block device.  From that the gendisk can be trivially
accessed with an extra indirection, but it also allows to directly
look up all information related to partition remapping.
