The root cause is descripted as follows:

  __tracing_open() {  // 1. File 'trace' is being opened;
    ...
    *iter-&gt;trace = *tr-&gt;current_trace;  // 2. Tracer 'function_graph' is
                                        //    currently set;
    ...
    iter-&gt;trace-&gt;open(iter);  // 3. Call graph_trace_open() here,
                              //    and memory are allocated in it;
    ...
  }

  s_start() {  // 4. The opened file is being read;
    ...
    *iter-&gt;trace = *tr-&gt;current_trace;  // 5. If tracer is switched to
                                        //    'nop' or others, then memory
                                        //    in step 3 are leaked!!!
    ...
  }

To fix it, in s_start(), close tracer before switching then reopen the
new tracer after switching. And some tracers like 'wakeup' may not update
'iter-&gt;private' in some cases when reopen, then it should be cleared
to avoid being mistakenly closed again.

<title>tracing/fgraph: Fix set_graph_function from showing interrupts</title>

[ Upstream commit 5cf99a0f3161bc3ae2391269d134d6bf7e26f00e ]

The tracefs file set_graph_function is used to only function graph functions
that are listed in that file (or all functions if the file is empty). The
way this is implemented is that the function graph tracer looks at every
function, and if the current depth is zero and the function matches
something in the file then it will trace that function. When other functions
are called, the depth will be greater than zero (because the original
function will be at depth zero), and all functions will be traced where the
depth is greater than zero.

The issue is that when a function is first entered, and the handler that
checks this logic is called, the depth is set to zero. If an interrupt comes
in and a function in the interrupt handler is traced, its depth will be
greater than zero and it will automatically be traced, even if the original
function was not. But because the logic only looks at depth it may trace
interrupts when it should not be.

The recent design change of the function graph tracer to fix other bugs
caused the depth to be zero while the function graph callback handler is
being called for a longer time, widening the race of this happening. This
bug was actually there for a longer time, but because the race window was so
small it seldom happened. The Fixes tag below is for the commit that widen
the race window, because that commit belongs to a series that will also help
fix the original bug.

<title>tracing/fgraph: Have wakeup and irqsoff tracers ignore graph functions too</title>

Currently both the wakeup and irqsoff traces do not handle set_graph_notrace
well. The ftrace infrastructure will ignore the return paths of all
functions leaving them hanging without an end:

  # echo '*spin*' &gt; set_graph_notrace
  # cat trace
  [...]
          _raw_spin_lock() {
            preempt_count_add() {
            do_raw_spin_lock() {
          update_rq_clock();

Where the '*spin*' functions should have looked like this:

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

Instead, have the wakeup and irqsoff tracers ignore the functions that are
set by the set_graph_notrace like the function_graph tracer does. Move
the logic in the function_graph tracer into a header to allow wakeup and
irqsoff tracers to use it as well.

  There is no reason to do it twice: from commit b6f11df26fdc28
("trace: Call tracing_reset_online_cpus before tracer-&gt;init()")
resetting of per-CPU buffers done before tracer-&gt;init() call.

tracer-&gt;init() calls {irqs,preempt,preemptirqs}off_tracer_init() and it
calls __irqsoff_tracer_init(), which resets per-CPU ringbuffer second
time.
It's slowpath, but anyway.

Joel Fernandes reported that the function tracing of preempt disabled
sections was not being reported when running either the preemptirqsoff or
preemptoff tracers. This was due to the fact that the function tracer
callback for those tracers checked if irqs were disabled before tracing. But
this fails when we want to trace preempt off locations as well.

Joel explained that he wanted to see funcitons where interrupts are enabled
but preemption was disabled. The expected output he wanted:

   &lt;...&gt;-2265    1d.h1 3419us : preempt_count_sub &lt;-irq_exit
   &lt;...&gt;-2265    1d..1 3419us : __do_softirq &lt;-irq_exit

There's a comment saying that the irq disabled check is because there's a
possible race that tracing_cpu may be set when the function is executed. But
I don't remember that race. For now, I added a check for preemption being
enabled too to not record the function, as there would be no race if that
was the case. I need to re-investigate this, as I'm now thinking that the
tracing_cpu will always be correct. But no harm in keeping the check for
now, except for the slight performance hit.

Joel Fernandes reported that the function tracing of preempt disabled
sections was not being reported when running either the preemptirqsoff or
preemptoff tracers. This was due to the fact that the function tracer
callback for those tracers checked if irqs were disabled before tracing. But
this fails when we want to trace preempt off locations as well.

Joel explained that he wanted to see funcitons where interrupts are enabled
but preemption was disabled. The expected output he wanted:

   &lt;...&gt;-2265    1d.h1 3419us : preempt_count_sub &lt;-irq_exit

This patch makes report_latency return bool due to this
particular function only using either one or zero as its
return value.

No functional change.

<title>tracing: Move trace_flags from global to a trace_array field</title>

<content type='text'>
In preparation to make trace options per instance, the global trace_flags
needs to be moved from being a global variable to a field within the trace
instance trace_array structure.

There's still more work to do, as there's some functions that use
trace_flags without passing in a way to get to the current_trace array. For
those, the global_trace is used directly (from trace.c). This includes
setting and clearing the trace_flags. This means that when a new instance is
created, it just gets the trace_flags of the global_trace and will not be
able to modify them. Depending on the functions that have access to the
trace_array, the flags of an instance may not affect parts of its trace,
where the global_trace is used. These will be fixed in future changes.

When the function tracer is not compiled in, do not create the option files
for it.

Fix up both the sched_wakeup and irqsoff tracers to handle the change.
