The config option used by archs to let the build system know that
the C version of the recordmcount works for said arch is currently
called HAVE_C_MCOUNT_RECORD which enables BUILD_C_RECORDMCOUNT. To
be more consistent with the name that all archs may use, it has been
renamed to HAVE_C_RECORDMCOUNT. This will be less confusing since
we are building a C recordmcount and not a mcount_record.

This patch adds the support for the C version of recordmcount and
compile times show ~ 12% improvement.
After verifying this works, other archs can add:
HAVE_C_MCOUNT_RECORD
in its Kconfig and it will use the C version of recordmcount
instead of the perl version.

The enums for FTRACE_ENABLE_MCOUNT and FTRACE_DISABLE_MCOUNT were
used as commands to ftrace_run_update_code(). But these commands
were used by the old nasty ftrace daemon that has long been slain.
This is a clean up patch to remove the references to these enums
and simplify the code a little.

When the function graph tracer funcgraph-irq option is zero, disable
tracing in IRQs. This makes the option have two effects.
1) When reading the trace file, do not display the functions that
happen in interrupt context (when detected)
2) [*new*] When recording a trace, skip those that are detected
to be in interrupt by the 'in_irq()' function
Note, in_irq() is updated at irq_enter() and irq_exit(). There are
still functions that are recorded by the function graph tracer that
is in interrupt context but outside the irq_enter/exit() routines.

It's handy to be able to disable the irq related output
and not to have to jump over each irq related code, when
you have no interrest in it.
The option is by default enabled, so there's no change to
current behaviour. It affects only the final output, so all
the irq related data stay in the ring buffer.

If we do:
# cd /sys/kernel/debug
# echo 'do_IRQ:traceon schedule:traceon sys_write:traceon' > \
set_ftrace_filter
# cat set_ftrace_filter
We get the following output:
#### all functions enabled ####
sys_write:traceon:unlimited
schedule:traceon:unlimited
do_IRQ:traceon:unlimited
This outputs two lists. One is the fact that all functions are
currently enabled for function tracing, the other has three probed
functions, which happen to have 'traceon' as their commands.
Currently, when reading the first list (functions enabled) the
seq_file code will receive a "NULL" from the t_next() function
causing it to exit early. This makes "read()" from userspace stop
reading the code at this boarder. Although read is allowed to do this,
some (broken) applications might consider this an end of file and
stop early.
This patch adds the start of the second list to t_next() when it
finishes the first list. It is a simple change and gives the
set_ftrace_filter file nicer reading ability.

This patch keeps track of the index within the elements of
set_ftrace_filter and if the position goes backwards, it nicely
resets and starts from the beginning again.
This allows for lseek and pread to work properly now.

The set_ftrace_filter uses seq_file and reads from two lists. The
pointer returned by t_next() can either be of type struct dyn_ftrace
or struct ftrace_func_probe. If there is a bug (there was one)
the wrong pointer may be used and the reference can cause an oops.
This patch makes t_next() and friends only return the iterator structure
which now has a pointer of type struct dyn_ftrace and struct
ftrace_func_probe. The t_show() can now test if the pointer is NULL or
not and if the pointer exists, it is guaranteed to be of the correct type.
Now if there's a bug, only wrong data will be shown but not an oops.

After the filtered functions are read, the probed functions are read
from the hash in set_ftrace_filter. When the hashed probed functions
are read, the *pos passed in is reset. Instead of modifying the pos
given to the read function, just record the pos where the filtered
functions ended and subtract from that.

Be sure to avoid entering t_show() with FTRACE_ITER_HASH set without
having properly started the iterator to iterate the hash. This case is
degenerate and, as discovered by Robert Swiecki, can cause t_hash_show()
to misuse a pointer. This causes a NULL ptr deref with possible security
implications. Tracked as CVE-2010-3079.

Replace pmu::{enable,disable,start,stop,unthrottle} with
pmu::{add,del,start,stop}, all of which take a flags argument.
The new interface extends the capability to stop a counter while
keeping it scheduled on the PMU. We replace the throttled state with
the generic stopped state.
This also allows us to efficiently stop/start counters over certain
code paths (like IRQ handlers).
It also allows scheduling a counter without it starting, allowing for
a generic frozen state (useful for rotating stopped counters).
The stopped state is implemented in two different ways, depending on
how the architecture implemented the throttled state:
1) We disable the counter:
a) the pmu has per-counter enable bits, we flip that
b) we program a NOP event, preserving the counter state
2) We store the counter state and ignore all read/overflow events

Set "argN" name for each argument automatically if it has no specified name.
Since dynamic trace event(kprobe_events) accepts special characters for its
argument, its format can show those special characters (e.g. '$', '%', '+').
However, perf can't parse those format because of the character (especially
'%') mess up the format. This sets "argX" name for those arguments if user
omitted the argument names.
E.g.
# echo 'p do_fork %ax IP=%ip $stack' > tracing/kprobe_events
# cat tracing/kprobe_events
p:kprobes/p_do_fork_0 do_fork arg1=%ax IP=%ip arg3=$stack

Reading the file set_ftrace_filter does three things.
1) shows whether or not filters are set for the function tracer
2) shows what functions are set for the function tracer
3) shows what triggers are set on any functions
3 is independent from 1 and 2.
The way this file currently works is that it is a state machine,
and as you read it, it may change state. But this assumption breaks
when you use lseek() on the file. The state machine gets out of sync
and the t_show() may use the wrong pointer and cause a kernel oops.
Luckily, this will only kill the app that does the lseek, but the app
dies while holding a mutex. This prevents anyone else from using the
set_ftrace_filter file (or any other function tracing file for that matter).
A real fix for this is to rewrite the code, but that is too much for
a -rc release or stable. This patch simply disables llseek on the
set_ftrace_filter() file for now, and we can do the proper fix for the
next major release.

While discussing the strictness of the 80 character limit on the
Kernel Summit Discussion mailing list, I showed examples that I
broke that limit slightly with some algorithms. In discussing with
John Linville, what looked better, I realized that two of the
80 char breaking culprits were an identical expression.
As a clean up, this patch moves the identical expression into its
own helper function and that is used instead. As a side effect,
the offending code is now under the 80 character limit. :-)
This clean up code also changes the expression from
(A - B) - C to A - (B + C)
This makes the code look a little nicer too.

While we are reading trace_stat/functionX and someone just
disabled function_profile at that time, we can trigger this:
divide error: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
...
EIP is at function_stat_show+0x90/0x230
...
This fix just takes the ftrace_profile_lock and checks if
rec->counter is 0. If it's 0, we know the profile buffer
has been reset.

When userspace code writes non-new-line-terminated string to trace_marker
file, write handler appends new-line and returns number of bytes written
to trace buffer, so
write(fd, "abc", 3) will return 4
That's unexpected and unfortunately it confuses glibc's fprintf function.
Example:
int main() {
fprintf(stderr, "abc");
return 0;
}
$ gcc test.c -o test
$ echo mmiotrace > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
$ ./test 2>/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_marker
results in infinite loop:
write(fd, "abc", 3) = 4
write(fd, "", 1) = 0
write(fd, "", 1) = 0
write(fd, "", 1) = 0
write(fd, "", 1) = 0
write(fd, "", 1) = 0
write(fd, "", 1) = 0
write(fd, "", 1) = 0
(...)
...and kernel trace buffer full of empty markers.
Fix it by sanitizing write return value.

Two new events were added that broke the current format output.
Both from the SCSI system: scsi_dispatch_cmd_done and scsi_dispatch_cmd_timeout
The reason is that their print_fmt exceeded a page size. Since the output
of the format used simple_read_from_buffer and trace_seq, it was limited
to a page size in output.
This patch converts the printing of the format of an event into seq_file,
which allows greater than a page size to be shown.
I diffed all event formats comparing the output with and without this
patch. All matched except for the above two, which showed just:
FORMAT TOO BIG
without this patch, but now properly displays the output with this patch.

The blktrace driver currently needs the BKL, but
we should not need to take that in the block layer,
so just push it down into the driver itself.
It is quite likely that the BKL is not actually

Remove the current bio flags and reuse the request flags for the bio, too.
This allows to more easily trace the type of I/O from the filesystem
down to the block driver. There were two flags in the bio that were
missing in the requests: BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD. Also I've
renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them.
Note that the flags are in bio.h despite having the REQ_ name - as
blkdev.h includes bio.h that is the only way to go for now.

Remove all the trivial wrappers for the cmd_type and cmd_flags fields in
struct requests. This allows much easier grepping for different request
types instead of unwinding through macros.

The root cause is that ring_buffer_read_page() may read out of page
boundary, because the boundary checking is done after reading. This is
fixed via doing boundary checking before reading.

With CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, I observed an unallocated memory access in
function_graph trace. It appears we find a small size entry in ring buffer,
but we access it as a big size entry. The access overflows the page size
and touches an unallocated page.

Comment in unregister_trace_probe() says probe_lock will be held when it
gets called. However there is a case where it might called without the
probe_lock being held. Also since we are traversing the probe_list and
deleting an element from the probe_list, probe_lock should be held.
This was first pointed in uprobes traceevent review by Frederic
Weisbecker here. (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/12/106)
