ring-buffer: Check if buffer exists before polling

2014-07-17T23:23:18+00:00

commit 8b8b36834d0fff67fc8668093f4312dd04dcf21d upstream.

The per_cpu buffers are created one per possible CPU. But these do
not mean that those CPUs are online, nor do they even exist.

With the addition of the ring buffer polling, it assumes that the
caller polls on an existing buffer. But this is not the case if
the user reads trace_pipe from a CPU that does not exist, and this
causes the kernel to crash.

Simple fix is to check the cpu against buffer bitmask against to see
if the buffer was allocated or not and return -ENODEV if it is
not.

More updates were done to pass the -ENODEV back up to userspace.

kernel: use macros from compiler.h instead of attribute((...))

2014-04-07T23:36:11+00:00

To increase compiler portability there is  which
provides convenience macros for various gcc constructs.  Eg: __weak for
__attribute__((weak)).  I've replaced all instances of gcc attributes
with the right macro in the kernel subsystem.

ftrace: Allow for function tracing instance to filter functions

2014-02-20T17:29:07+00:00

Create a "set_ftrace_filter" and "set_ftrace_notrace" files in the instance
directories to let users filter of functions to trace for the given instance.

ftrace: Allow instances to use function tracing

2014-02-20T17:13:18+00:00

Allow instances (sub-buffers) to enable function tracing.
Each instance will have its own function tracing capability.
For now, instances will not have function stack tracing, or will
they be able to pick and choose what functions they can trace.

Picking and choosing their own functions will come later.

tracing: Convert tracer->enabled to counter

2014-02-20T17:13:17+00:00

As tracers will soon be used by instances, the tracer enabled field
needs to be converted to a counter instead of a boolean.
This counter is protected by the trace_types_lock mutex.

tracing: Set up infrastructure to allow tracers for instances

2014-02-20T17:13:10+00:00

Currently the tracers (function, function_graph, irqsoff, etc) can only
be used by the top level tracing directory (not for instances).

This sets up the infrastructure to allow instances to be able to
run a separate tracer apart from the what the top level tracing is
doing.

As tracers need to adapt for being used by instances, the tracers
must flag if they can be used by instances or not. Currently only the
'nop' tracer can be used by all instances.

tracing: Pass trace_array to flag_changed callback

2014-02-20T17:13:08+00:00

As options (flags) may affect instances instead of being global
the flag_changed() callbacks need to receive the trace_array descriptor
of the instance they will be modifying.

tracing: Fix rcu handling of event_trigger_data filter field

2014-01-02T21:17:22+00:00

The filter field of the event_trigger_data structure is protected under
RCU sched locks. It was not annotated as such, and after doing so,
sparse pointed out several locations that required fix ups.

tracing: Add generic tracing_lseek() function

2014-01-02T21:17:12+00:00

Trace event triggers added a lseek that uses the ftrace_filter_lseek()
function. Unfortunately, when function tracing is not configured in
that function is not defined and the kernel fails to build.

This is the second time that function was added to a file ops and
it broke the build due to requiring special config dependencies.

Make a generic tracing_lseek() that all the tracing utilities may
use.

Also, modify the old ftrace_filter_lseek() to return 0 instead of
1 on WRONLY. Not sure why it was a 1 as that does not make sense.

This also changes the old tracing_seek() to modify the file pos
pointer on WRONLY as well.
