commit 1fe4293f4b8de75824935f8d8e9a99c7fc6873da upstream.

The function_graph tracer does not show the interrupt return marker for the
leaf entry. On leaf entries, we see an unbalanced interrupt marker (the
interrupt was entered, but nevern left).

Before:
 1)               |  SyS_write() {
 1)               |    __fdget_pos() {
 1)   0.061 us    |      __fget_light();
 1)   0.289 us    |    }
 1)               |    vfs_write() {
 1)   0.049 us    |      rw_verify_area();
 1) + 15.424 us   |      __vfs_write();
 1)   ==========&gt; |
 1)   6.003 us    |      smp_apic_timer_interrupt();
 1)   0.055 us    |      __fsnotify_parent();

 1) + 23.665 us   |    }
 1) + 24.501 us   |  }

After:
 0)               |  SyS_write() {
 0)               |    __fdget_pos() {
 0)   0.052 us    |      __fget_light();

<title>fgraph: Handle a case where a tracer ignores set_graph_notrace</title>

commit 794de08a16cf1fc1bf785dc48f66d36218cf6d88 upstream.

Both the wakeup and irqsoff tracers can use the function graph tracer when
the display-graph option is set. The problem is that they ignore the notrace
file, and record the entry of functions that would be ignored by the
function_graph tracer. This causes the trace-&gt;depth to be recorded into the
ring buffer. The set_graph_notrace uses a trick by adding a large negative
number to the trace-&gt;depth when a graph function is to be ignored.

On trace output, the graph function uses the depth to record a stack of
functions. But since the depth is negative, it accesses the array with a
negative number and causes an out of bounds access that can cause a kernel
oops or corrupt data.

Have the print functions handle cases where a tracer still records functions
even when they are in set_graph_notrace.

Also add warnings if the depth is below zero before accessing the array.

Note, the function graph logic will still prevent the return of these
functions from being recorded, which means that they will be left hanging
without a return. For example:

   # echo '*spin*' &gt; set_graph_notrace
   # echo 1 &gt; options/display-graph
   # echo wakeup &gt; current_tracer
   # cat trace
   [...]
      _raw_spin_lock() {
        preempt_count_add() {
        do_raw_spin_lock() {
      update_rq_clock();

Where it should look like:

      _raw_spin_lock() {
        preempt_count_add();
        do_raw_spin_lock();
      }
      update_rq_clock();

<content type='text'>
In the function-graph tracer, add a funcgraph_tail option
to print the function name on all } lines, not just
functions whose first line is no longer in the trace
buffer.

If a function calls other traced functions, its total
time appears on its } line.  This change allows grep
to be used to determine the function for which the
line corresponds.

Update Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt to describe
this new option.

Now that the ring buffer has a built in way to wake up readers
when there's data, using irq_work such that it is safe to do it
in any context. But it was still using the old "poor man's"
wait polling that checks every 1/10 of a second to see if it
should wake up a waiter. This makes the latency for a wake up
excruciatingly long. No need to do that anymore.

Completely remove the different wait_poll types from the tracers
and have them all use the default one now.

The duration field of print_graph_duration() can also be used
to do the space filling by passing an enum in it:

  DURATION_FILL_FULL
  DURATION_FILL_START
  DURATION_FILL_END

The problem is that these are enums and defined as negative,
but the duration field is unsigned long long. Most archs are
fine with this but blackfin fails to compile because of it:

kernel/built-in.o: In function `print_graph_duration':
kernel/trace/trace_functions_graph.c:782: undefined reference to `__ucmpdi2'

Overloading a unsigned long long with an signed enum is just
bad in principle. We can accomplish the same thing by using
part of the flags field instead.

<title>tracing: Update event filters for multibuffer</title>
<updated>2013-11-05T21:50:20+00:00</updated>

<id>f306cc82a93d6b19f01634b80c580b9755c8b7cc</id>
<content type='text'>
The trace event filters are still tied to event calls rather than
event files, which means you don't get what you'd expect when using
filters in the multibuffer case:

Before:

  # echo 'bytes_alloc &gt; 8192' &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
  bytes_alloc &gt; 8192
  # mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1
  # echo 'bytes_alloc &gt; 2048' &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
  bytes_alloc &gt; 2048
  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
  bytes_alloc &gt; 2048

Setting the filter in tracing/instances/test1/events shouldn't affect
the same event in tracing/events as it does above.

After:

  # echo 'bytes_alloc &gt; 8192' &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
  bytes_alloc &gt; 8192
  # mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1
  # echo 'bytes_alloc &gt; 2048' &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
  bytes_alloc &gt; 8192
  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
  bytes_alloc &gt; 2048

We'd like to just move the filter directly from ftrace_event_call to
ftrace_event_file, but there are a couple cases that don't yet have
multibuffer support and therefore have to continue using the current
event_call-based filters.  For those cases, a new USE_CALL_FILTER bit
is added to the event_call flags, whose main purpose is to keep the
old behavior for those cases until they can be updated with
multibuffer support; at that point, the USE_CALL_FILTER flag (and the
new associated call_filter_check_discard() function) can go away.

The multibuffer support also made filter_current_check_discard()
redundant, so this change removes that function as well and replaces

appropriate).

The trace event filters are still tied to event calls rather than
event files, which means you don't get what you'd expect when using
filters in the multibuffer case:

Before:

  # echo 'bytes_alloc &gt; 8192' &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
  bytes_alloc &gt; 8192
  # mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1
  # echo 'bytes_alloc &gt; 2048' &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
  bytes_alloc &gt; 2048
  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
  bytes_alloc &gt; 2048

Setting the filter in tracing/instances/test1/events shouldn't affect
the same event in tracing/events as it does above.

After:

  # echo 'bytes_alloc &gt; 8192' &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
  bytes_alloc &gt; 8192
  # mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1
  # echo 'bytes_alloc &gt; 2048' &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
  bytes_alloc &gt; 8192
  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
  bytes_alloc &gt; 2048

We'd like to just move the filter directly from ftrace_event_call to
ftrace_event_file, but there are a couple cases that don't yet have
multibuffer support and therefore have to continue using the current
event_call-based filters.  For those cases, a new USE_CALL_FILTER bit
is added to the event_call flags, whose main purpose is to keep the
old behavior for those cases until they can be updated with
multibuffer support; at that point, the USE_CALL_FILTER flag (and the
new associated call_filter_check_discard() function) can go away.

The multibuffer support also made filter_current_check_discard()
redundant, so this change removes that function as well and replaces
it with filter_check_discard() (or call_filter_check_discard() as
appropriate).

The set_graph_notrace filter is analogous to set_ftrace_notrace and
can be used for eliminating uninteresting part of function graph trace
output.  It also works with set_graph_function nicely.

<title>tracing: Add ref_data to function and fgraph tracer structs</title>

The selftest for function and function graph tracers are defined as
__init, as they are only executed at boot up. The "tracer" structs
that are associated to those tracers are not setup as __init as they
are used after boot. To stop mismatch warnings, those structures
need to be annotated with __ref_data.

Currently, the tracer structures are defined to __read_mostly, as they
do not really change. But in the future they should be converted to
consts, but that will take a little work because they have a "next"
pointer that gets updated when they are registered. That will have to
wait till the next major release.
