Merge tag 'docs-4.15' of git://git.lwn.net/linux 

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "A relatively calm cycle for the docs tree again.

  - The old driver statement has been added to the kernel docs.

  - We have a couple of new helper scripts. find-unused-docs.sh from
    Sayli Karnic will point out kerneldoc comments that are not actually
    used in the documentation. Jani Nikula's
    documentation-file-ref-check finds references to non-existing files.

  - A new ftrace document from Steve Rostedt.

  - Vinod Koul converted the dmaengine docs to RST

  Beyond that, it's mostly simple fixes.

  This set reaches outside of Documentation/ a bit more than most. In
  all cases, the changes are to comment docs, mostly from Randy, in
  places where there didn't seem to be anybody better to take them"

PXA/MMP - DMA Slave controller
==============================
Constraints
-----------
a) Transfers hot queuing
A driver submitting a transfer and issuing it should be granted the transfer
is queued even on a running DMA channel.
This implies that the queuing doesn't wait for the previous transfer end,
and that the descriptor chaining is not only done in the irq/tasklet code
triggered by the end of the transfer.
A transfer which is submitted and issued on a phy doesn't wait for a phy to
stop and restart, but is submitted on a "running channel". The other
drivers, especially mmp_pdma waited for the phy to stop before relaunching
a new transfer.
b) All transfers having asked for confirmation should be signaled
Any issued transfer with DMA_PREP_INTERRUPT should trigger a callback call.
This implies that even if an irq/tasklet is triggered by end of tx1, but
at the time of irq/dma tx2 is already finished, tx1->complete() and
tx2->complete() should be called.
c) Channel running state
A driver should be able to query if a channel is running or not. For the
multimedia case, such as video capture, if a transfer is submitted and then
a check of the DMA channel reports a "stopped channel", the transfer should
not be issued until the next "start of frame interrupt", hence the need to
know if a channel is in running or stopped state.
d) Bandwidth guarantee
The PXA architecture has 4 levels of DMAs priorities : high, normal, low.
The high priorities get twice as much bandwidth as the normal, which get twice
as much as the low priorities.
A driver should be able to request a priority, especially the real-time
ones such as pxa_camera with (big) throughputs.
Design
------
a) Virtual channels
Same concept as in sa11x0 driver, ie. a driver was assigned a "virtual
channel" linked to the requestor line, and the physical DMA channel is
assigned on the fly when the transfer is issued.
b) Transfer anatomy for a scatter-gather transfer
+------------+-----+---------------+----------------+-----------------+
| desc-sg[0] | ... | desc-sg[last] | status updater | finisher/linker |
+------------+-----+---------------+----------------+-----------------+
This structure is pointed by dma->sg_cpu.
The descriptors are used as follows :
- desc-sg[i]: i-th descriptor, transferring the i-th sg
element to the video buffer scatter gather
- status updater
Transfers a single u32 to a well known dma coherent memory to leave
a trace that this transfer is done. The "well known" is unique per
physical channel, meaning that a read of this value will tell which
is the last finished transfer at that point in time.
- finisher: has ddadr=DADDR_STOP, dcmd=ENDIRQEN
- linker: has ddadr= desc-sg[0] of next transfer, dcmd=0
c) Transfers hot-chaining
Suppose the running chain is :
Buffer 1 Buffer 2
+---------+----+---+ +----+----+----+---+
| d0 | .. | dN | l | | d0 | .. | dN | f |
+---------+----+-|-+ ^----+----+----+---+
| |
+----+
After a call to dmaengine_submit(b3), the chain will look like :
Buffer 1 Buffer 2 Buffer 3
+---------+----+---+ +----+----+----+---+ +----+----+----+---+
| d0 | .. | dN | l | | d0 | .. | dN | l | | d0 | .. | dN | f |
+---------+----+-|-+ ^----+----+----+-|-+ ^----+----+----+---+
| | | |
+----+ +----+
new_link
If while new_link was created the DMA channel stopped, it is _not_
restarted. Hot-chaining doesn't break the assumption that
dma_async_issue_pending() is to be used to ensure the transfer is actually started.
One exception to this rule :
- if Buffer1 and Buffer2 had all their addresses 8 bytes aligned
- and if Buffer3 has at least one address not 4 bytes aligned
- then hot-chaining cannot happen, as the channel must be stopped, the
"align bit" must be set, and the channel restarted As a consequence,
such a transfer tx_submit() will be queued on the submitted queue, and
this specific case if the DMA is already running in aligned mode.
d) Transfers completion updater
Each time a transfer is completed on a channel, an interrupt might be
generated or not, up to the client's request. But in each case, the last
descriptor of a transfer, the "status updater", will write the latest
transfer being completed into the physical channel's completion mark.
This will speed up residue calculation, for large transfers such as video
buffers which hold around 6k descriptors or more. This also allows without
any lock to find out what is the latest completed transfer in a running
DMA chain.
e) Transfers completion, irq and tasklet
When a transfer flagged as "DMA_PREP_INTERRUPT" is finished, the dma irq
is raised. Upon this interrupt, a tasklet is scheduled for the physical
channel.
The tasklet is responsible for :
- reading the physical channel last updater mark
- calling all the transfer callbacks of finished transfers, based on
that mark, and each transfer flags.
If a transfer is completed while this handling is done, a dma irq will
be raised, and the tasklet will be scheduled once again, having a new
updater mark.
f) Residue
Residue granularity will be descriptor based. The issued but not completed
transfers will be scanned for all of their descriptors against the
currently running descriptor.
g) Most complicated case of driver's tx queues
The most tricky situation is when :
- there are not "acked" transfers (tx0)
- a driver submitted an aligned tx1, not chained
- a driver submitted an aligned tx2 => tx2 is cold chained to tx1
- a driver issued tx1+tx2 => channel is running in aligned mode
- a driver submitted an aligned tx3 => tx3 is hot-chained
- a driver submitted an unaligned tx4 => tx4 is put in submitted queue,
not chained
- a driver issued tx4 => tx4 is put in issued queue, not chained
- a driver submitted an aligned tx5 => tx5 is put in submitted queue, not
chained
- a driver submitted an aligned tx6 => tx6 is put in submitted queue,
cold chained to tx5
This translates into (after tx4 is issued) :
- issued queue
+-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+
| tx1 | | tx2 | | tx3 | | tx4 |
+---|-+ ^---|-+ ^-----+ +-----+
| | | |
+---+ +---+
- submitted queue
+-----+ +-----+
| tx5 | | tx6 |
+---|-+ ^-----+
| |
+---+
- completed queue : empty
- allocated queue : tx0
It should be noted that after tx3 is completed, the channel is stopped, and
restarted in "unaligned mode" to handle tx4.

Below is a guide to device driver writers on how to use the Slave-DMA API of the
DMA Engine. This is applicable only for slave DMA usage only.
DMA usage
=========
The slave DMA usage consists of following steps:
1. Allocate a DMA slave channel
2. Set slave and controller specific parameters
3. Get a descriptor for transaction
4. Submit the transaction

dma_request_channel or dma_release_channel for the first/last

resources in order for that channel to be useful for your
driver.

* device_prep_dma_*
- These functions are matching the capabilities you registered
previously.
- These functions all take the buffer or the scatterlist relevant
for the transfer being prepared, and should create a hardware
descriptor or a list of hardware descriptors from it
- These functions can be called from an interrupt context
- Any allocation you might do should be using the GFP_NOWAIT
flag, in order not to potentially sleep, but without depleting
the emergency pool either.
- Drivers should try to pre-allocate any memory they might need
during the transfer setup at probe time to avoid putting to
much pressure on the nowait allocator.
- It should return a unique instance of the
dma_async_tx_descriptor structure, that further represents this
particular transfer.
- This structure can be initialized using the function
dma_async_tx_descriptor_init.
- You'll also need to set two fields in this structure:
+ flags:
TODO: Can it be modified by the driver itself, or
should it be always the flags passed in the arguments
+ tx_submit: A pointer to a function you have to implement,
that is supposed to push the current
transaction descriptor to a pending queue, waiting
for issue_pending to be called.
- In this structure the function pointer callback_result can be
initialized in order for the submitter to be notified that a
transaction has completed. In the earlier code the function pointer
callback has been used. However it does not provide any status to the
transaction and will be deprecated. The result structure defined as
dmaengine_result that is passed in to callback_result has two fields:
+ result: This provides the transfer result defined by
dmaengine_tx_result. Either success or some error
condition.
+ residue: Provides the residue bytes of the transfer for those that
support residue.
* device_issue_pending
- Takes the first transaction descriptor in the pending queue,
and starts the transfer. Whenever that transfer is done, it
should move to the next transaction in the list.
- This function can be called in an interrupt context
* device_tx_status
- Should report the bytes left to go over on the given channel
- Should only care about the transaction descriptor passed as
argument, not the currently active one on a given channel
- The tx_state argument might be NULL
- Should use dma_set_residue to report it
- In the case of a cyclic transfer, it should only take into
account the current period.

* device_config
- Reconfigures the channel with the configuration given as
argument
- This command should NOT perform synchronously, or on any
currently queued transfers, but only on subsequent ones
- In this case, the function will receive a dma_slave_config
structure pointer as an argument, that will detail which
configuration to use.
- Even though that structure contains a direction field, this
field is deprecated in favor of the direction argument given to
the prep_* functions
- This call is mandatory for slave operations only. This should NOT be

- ``device_alloc_chan_resources``
- ``device_free_chan_resources``
- These functions will be called whenever a driver will call
``dma_request_channel`` or ``dma_release_channel`` for the first/last
time on the channel associated to that driver.
- They are in charge of allocating/freeing all the needed
resources in order for that channel to be useful for your driver.
- These functions can sleep.
- ``device_prep_dma_*``
- These functions are matching the capabilities you registered
previously.
- These functions all take the buffer or the scatterlist relevant
for the transfer being prepared, and should create a hardware
descriptor or a list of hardware descriptors from it
- These functions can be called from an interrupt context
- Any allocation you might do should be using the GFP_NOWAIT
flag, in order not to potentially sleep, but without depleting
the emergency pool either.
- Drivers should try to pre-allocate any memory they might need
during the transfer setup at probe time to avoid putting to
much pressure on the nowait allocator.
- It should return a unique instance of the
``dma_async_tx_descriptor structure``, that further represents this
particular transfer.
- This structure can be initialized using the function
``dma_async_tx_descriptor_init``.
- You'll also need to set two fields in this structure:
- flags:
TODO: Can it be modified by the driver itself, or
should it be always the flags passed in the arguments
- tx_submit: A pointer to a function you have to implement,
that is supposed to push the current transaction descriptor to a
pending queue, waiting for issue_pending to be called.
- In this structure the function pointer callback_result can be
initialized in order for the submitter to be notified that a
transaction has completed. In the earlier code the function pointer
callback has been used. However it does not provide any status to the
transaction and will be deprecated. The result structure defined as
``dmaengine_result`` that is passed in to callback_result
has two fields:
- result: This provides the transfer result defined by
``dmaengine_tx_result``. Either success or some error condition.
- residue: Provides the residue bytes of the transfer for those that
support residue.
- ``device_issue_pending``
- Takes the first transaction descriptor in the pending queue,
and starts the transfer. Whenever that transfer is done, it
should move to the next transaction in the list.
- This function can be called in an interrupt context
- ``device_tx_status``
- Should report the bytes left to go over on the given channel
- Should only care about the transaction descriptor passed as
argument, not the currently active one on a given channel
- The tx_state argument might be NULL
- Should use dma_set_residue to report it
- In the case of a cyclic transfer, it should only take into
account the current period.
- This function can be called in an interrupt context.
- device_config
- Reconfigures the channel with the configuration given as argument
- This command should NOT perform synchronously, or on any
currently queued transfers, but only on subsequent ones
- In this case, the function will receive a ``dma_slave_config``
structure pointer as an argument, that will detail which
configuration to use.
- Even though that structure contains a direction field, this
field is deprecated in favor of the direction argument given to
the prep_* functions
- This call is mandatory for slave operations only. This should NOT be
set or expected to be set for memcpy operations.
If a driver support both, it should use this call for slave
operations only and not for memcpy ones.
- device_pause
- Pauses a transfer on the channel
- This command should operate synchronously on the channel,
pausing right away the work of the given channel
- device_resume
- Resumes a transfer on the channel
- This command should operate synchronously on the channel,
resuming right away the work of the given channel
- device_terminate_all
- Aborts all the pending and ongoing transfers on the channel
- For aborted transfers the complete callback should not be called
- Can be called from atomic context or from within a complete
callback of a descriptor. Must not sleep. Drivers must be able
to handle this correctly.
- Termination may be asynchronous. The driver does not have to
wait until the currently active transfer has completely stopped.

==============================
PXA/MMP - DMA Slave controller
==============================
Constraints
===========
a) Transfers hot queuing
A driver submitting a transfer and issuing it should be granted the transfer
is queued even on a running DMA channel.
This implies that the queuing doesn't wait for the previous transfer end,
and that the descriptor chaining is not only done in the irq/tasklet code
triggered by the end of the transfer.
A transfer which is submitted and issued on a phy doesn't wait for a phy to
stop and restart, but is submitted on a "running channel". The other
drivers, especially mmp_pdma waited for the phy to stop before relaunching
a new transfer.
b) All transfers having asked for confirmation should be signaled
Any issued transfer with DMA_PREP_INTERRUPT should trigger a callback call.
This implies that even if an irq/tasklet is triggered by end of tx1, but
at the time of irq/dma tx2 is already finished, tx1->complete() and
tx2->complete() should be called.
c) Channel running state
A driver should be able to query if a channel is running or not. For the
multimedia case, such as video capture, if a transfer is submitted and then
a check of the DMA channel reports a "stopped channel", the transfer should
not be issued until the next "start of frame interrupt", hence the need to
know if a channel is in running or stopped state.
d) Bandwidth guarantee
The PXA architecture has 4 levels of DMAs priorities : high, normal, low.
The high priorities get twice as much bandwidth as the normal, which get twice
as much as the low priorities.
A driver should be able to request a priority, especially the real-time
ones such as pxa_camera with (big) throughputs.
Design
======
a) Virtual channels
Same concept as in sa11x0 driver, ie. a driver was assigned a "virtual
channel" linked to the requestor line, and the physical DMA channel is
assigned on the fly when the transfer is issued.
b) Transfer anatomy for a scatter-gather transfer
::
+------------+-----+---------------+----------------+-----------------+
| desc-sg[0] | ... | desc-sg[last] | status updater | finisher/linker |
+------------+-----+---------------+----------------+-----------------+
This structure is pointed by dma->sg_cpu.
The descriptors are used as follows :
- desc-sg[i]: i-th descriptor, transferring the i-th sg
element to the video buffer scatter gather
- status updater
Transfers a single u32 to a well known dma coherent memory to leave
a trace that this transfer is done. The "well known" is unique per
physical channel, meaning that a read of this value will tell which
is the last finished transfer at that point in time.
- finisher: has ddadr=DADDR_STOP, dcmd=ENDIRQEN
- linker: has ddadr= desc-sg[0] of next transfer, dcmd=0
c) Transfers hot-chaining
Suppose the running chain is:
::
Buffer 1 Buffer 2
+---------+----+---+ +----+----+----+---+
| d0 | .. | dN | l | | d0 | .. | dN | f |
+---------+----+-|-+ ^----+----+----+---+
| |
+----+
After a call to dmaengine_submit(b3), the chain will look like:
::
Buffer 1 Buffer 2 Buffer 3
+---------+----+---+ +----+----+----+---+ +----+----+----+---+
| d0 | .. | dN | l | | d0 | .. | dN | l | | d0 | .. | dN | f |
+---------+----+-|-+ ^----+----+----+-|-+ ^----+----+----+---+
| | | |
+----+ +----+
new_link
If while new_link was created the DMA channel stopped, it is _not_
restarted. Hot-chaining doesn't break the assumption that
dma_async_issue_pending() is to be used to ensure the transfer is actually started.
One exception to this rule :
- if Buffer1 and Buffer2 had all their addresses 8 bytes aligned
- and if Buffer3 has at least one address not 4 bytes aligned
- then hot-chaining cannot happen, as the channel must be stopped, the
"align bit" must be set, and the channel restarted As a consequence,
such a transfer tx_submit() will be queued on the submitted queue, and
this specific case if the DMA is already running in aligned mode.
d) Transfers completion updater
Each time a transfer is completed on a channel, an interrupt might be
generated or not, up to the client's request. But in each case, the last
descriptor of a transfer, the "status updater", will write the latest
transfer being completed into the physical channel's completion mark.
This will speed up residue calculation, for large transfers such as video
buffers which hold around 6k descriptors or more. This also allows without
any lock to find out what is the latest completed transfer in a running
DMA chain.
e) Transfers completion, irq and tasklet
When a transfer flagged as "DMA_PREP_INTERRUPT" is finished, the dma irq
is raised. Upon this interrupt, a tasklet is scheduled for the physical
channel.
The tasklet is responsible for :
- reading the physical channel last updater mark
- calling all the transfer callbacks of finished transfers, based on
that mark, and each transfer flags.
If a transfer is completed while this handling is done, a dma irq will
be raised, and the tasklet will be scheduled once again, having a new
updater mark.
f) Residue
Residue granularity will be descriptor based. The issued but not completed
transfers will be scanned for all of their descriptors against the
currently running descriptor.
g) Most complicated case of driver's tx queues
The most tricky situation is when :
- there are not "acked" transfers (tx0)
- a driver submitted an aligned tx1, not chained
- a driver submitted an aligned tx2 => tx2 is cold chained to tx1
- a driver issued tx1+tx2 => channel is running in aligned mode
- a driver submitted an aligned tx3 => tx3 is hot-chained
- a driver submitted an unaligned tx4 => tx4 is put in submitted queue,
not chained
- a driver issued tx4 => tx4 is put in issued queue, not chained
- a driver submitted an aligned tx5 => tx5 is put in submitted queue, not
chained
- a driver submitted an aligned tx6 => tx6 is put in submitted queue,
cold chained to tx5
This translates into (after tx4 is issued) :
- issued queue
::
+-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+
| tx1 | | tx2 | | tx3 | | tx4 |
+---|-+ ^---|-+ ^-----+ +-----+
| | | |
+---+ +---+
- submitted queue
+-----+ +-----+
| tx5 | | tx6 |
+---|-+ ^-----+
| |
+---+
- completed queue : empty
- allocated queue : tx0
It should be noted that after tx3 is completed, the channel is stopped, and
restarted in "unaligned mode" to handle tx4.

Kernel Driver Statement
-----------------------
Position Statement on Linux Kernel Modules
==========================================
We, the undersigned Linux kernel developers, consider any closed-source
Linux kernel module or driver to be harmful and undesirable. We have
repeatedly found them to be detrimental to Linux users, businesses, and
the greater Linux ecosystem. Such modules negate the openness,
stability, flexibility, and maintainability of the Linux development
model and shut their users off from the expertise of the Linux
community. Vendors that provide closed-source kernel modules force their
customers to give up key Linux advantages or choose new vendors.
Therefore, in order to take full advantage of the cost savings and
shared support benefits open source has to offer, we urge vendors to
adopt a policy of supporting their customers on Linux with open-source
kernel code.
We speak only for ourselves, and not for any company we might work for
today, have in the past, or will in the future.

Using ftrace to hook to functions
=================================
.. Copyright 2017 VMware Inc.

Introduction
============
The ftrace infrastructure was originially created to attach callbacks to the
beginning of functions in order to record and trace the flow of the kernel.
But callbacks to the start of a function can have other use cases. Either
for live kernel patching, or for security monitoring. This document describes
how to use ftrace to implement your own function callbacks.
The ftrace context
==================
WARNING: The ability to add a callback to almost any function within the
kernel comes with risks. A callback can be called from any context
(normal, softirq, irq, and NMI). Callbacks can also be called just before
going to idle, during CPU bring up and takedown, or going to user space.
This requires extra care to what can be done inside a callback. A callback
can be called outside the protective scope of RCU.
The ftrace infrastructure has some protections agains recursions and RCU
but one must still be very careful how they use the callbacks.
The ftrace_ops structure
========================
To register a function callback, a ftrace_ops is required. This structure
is used to tell ftrace what function should be called as the callback
as well as what protections the callback will perform and not require
ftrace to handle.
There is only one field that is needed to be set when registering
an ftrace_ops with ftrace::
.. code-block: c
struct ftrace_ops ops = {
.func = my_callback_func,
.flags = MY_FTRACE_FLAGS
.private = any_private_data_structure,
};
Both .flags and .private are optional. Only .func is required.
To enable tracing call::
.. c:function:: register_ftrace_function(&ops);
To disable tracing call::
.. c:function:: unregister_ftrace_function(&ops);
The above is defined by including the header::
.. c:function:: #include <linux/ftrace.h>
The registered callback will start being called some time after the
register_ftrace_function() is called and before it returns. The exact time
that callbacks start being called is dependent upon architecture and scheduling
of services. The callback itself will have to handle any synchronization if it
must begin at an exact moment.
The unregister_ftrace_function() will guarantee that the callback is
no longer being called by functions after the unregister_ftrace_function()
returns. Note that to perform this guarantee, the unregister_ftrace_function()
may take some time to finish.
The callback function
=====================
The prototype of the callback function is as follows (as of v4.14)::
.. code-block: c
void callback_func(unsigned long ip, unsigned long parent_ip,
struct ftrace_ops *op, struct pt_regs *regs);
@ip
This is the instruction pointer of the function that is being traced.
(where the fentry or mcount is within the function)
@parent_ip
This is the instruction pointer of the function that called the
the function being traced (where the call of the function occurred).
@op
This is a pointer to ftrace_ops that was used to register the callback.
This can be used to pass data to the callback via the private pointer.
@regs
If the FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS or FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS_IF_SUPPORTED
flags are set in the ftrace_ops structure, then this will be pointing
to the pt_regs structure like it would be if an breakpoint was placed
at the start of the function where ftrace was tracing. Otherwise it
either contains garbage, or NULL.
The ftrace FLAGS
================
The ftrace_ops flags are all defined and documented in include/linux/ftrace.h.
Some of the flags are used for internal infrastructure of ftrace, but the
ones that users should be aware of are the following:
FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS
If the callback requires reading or modifying the pt_regs
passed to the callback, then it must set this flag. Registering
a ftrace_ops with this flag set on an architecture that does not
support passing of pt_regs to the callback will fail.
FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS_IF_SUPPORTED
Similar to SAVE_REGS but the registering of a
ftrace_ops on an architecture that does not support passing of regs
will not fail with this flag set. But the callback must check if
regs is NULL or not to determine if the architecture supports it.
FTRACE_OPS_FL_RECURSION_SAFE
By default, a wrapper is added around the callback to
make sure that recursion of the function does not occur. That is,
if a function that is called as a result of the callback's execution
is also traced, ftrace will prevent the callback from being called
again. But this wrapper adds some overhead, and if the callback is
safe from recursion, it can set this flag to disable the ftrace
protection.
Note, if this flag is set, and recursion does occur, it could cause
the system to crash, and possibly reboot via a triple fault.
It is OK if another callback traces a function that is called by a
callback that is marked recursion safe. Recursion safe callbacks
must never trace any function that are called by the callback
itself or any nested functions that those functions call.
If this flag is set, it is possible that the callback will also
be called with preemption enabled (when CONFIG_PREEMPT is set),
but this is not guaranteed.
FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY
Requires FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS set. If the callback is to "hijack"
the traced function (have another function called instead of the
traced function), it requires setting this flag. This is what live
kernel patches uses. Without this flag the pt_regs->ip can not be
modified.
Note, only one ftrace_ops with FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY set may be
registered to any given function at a time.
FTRACE_OPS_FL_RCU
If this is set, then the callback will only be called by functions
where RCU is "watching". This is required if the callback function
performs any rcu_read_lock() operation.
RCU stops watching when the system goes idle, the time when a CPU
is taken down and comes back online, and when entering from kernel
to user space and back to kernel space. During these transitions,
a callback may be executed and RCU synchronization will not protect
it.
Filtering which functions to trace
==================================
If a callback is only to be called from specific functions, a filter must be
set up. The filters are added by name, or ip if it is known.
.. code-block: c
int ftrace_set_filter(struct ftrace_ops *ops, unsigned char *buf,
int len, int reset);
@ops
The ops to set the filter with
@buf
The string that holds the function filter text.
@len
The length of the string.
@reset
Non-zero to reset all filters before applying this filter.
Filters denote which functions should be enabled when tracing is enabled.
If @buf is NULL and reset is set, all functions will be enabled for tracing.
The @buf can also be a glob expression to enable all functions that
match a specific pattern.
See Filter Commands in :file:`Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt`.
To just trace the schedule function::
.. code-block: c
ret = ftrace_set_filter(&ops, "schedule", strlen("schedule"), 0);
To add more functions, call the ftrace_set_filter() more than once with the
@reset parameter set to zero. To remove the current filter set and replace it
with new functions defined by @buf, have @reset be non-zero.
To remove all the filtered functions and trace all functions::
.. code-block: c
ret = ftrace_set_filter(&ops, NULL, 0, 1);
Sometimes more than one function has the same name. To trace just a specific
function in this case, ftrace_set_filter_ip() can be used.
.. code-block: c
ret = ftrace_set_filter_ip(&ops, ip, 0, 0);
Although the ip must be the address where the call to fentry or mcount is
located in the function. This function is used by perf and kprobes that
gets the ip address from the user (usually using debug info from the kernel).
If a glob is used to set the filter, functions can be added to a "notrace"
list that will prevent those functions from calling the callback.
The "notrace" list takes precedence over the "filter" list. If the
two lists are non-empty and contain the same functions, the callback will not
be called by any function.
An empty "notrace" list means to allow all functions defined by the filter
to be traced.
.. code-block: c
int ftrace_set_notrace(struct ftrace_ops *ops, unsigned char *buf,
int len, int reset);
This takes the same parameters as ftrace_set_filter() but will add the
functions it finds to not be traced. This is a separate list from the
filter list, and this function does not modify the filter list.
A non-zero @reset will clear the "notrace" list before adding functions
that match @buf to it.
Clearing the "notrace" list is the same as clearing the filter list
.. code-block: c
ret = ftrace_set_notrace(&ops, NULL, 0, 1);
The filter and notrace lists may be changed at any time. If only a set of
functions should call the callback, it is best to set the filters before
registering the callback. But the changes may also happen after the callback
has been registered.
If a filter is in place, and the @reset is non-zero, and @buf contains a
matching glob to functions, the switch will happen during the time of
the ftrace_set_filter() call. At no time will all functions call the callback.
.. code-block: c
ftrace_set_filter(&ops, "schedule", strlen("schedule"), 1);
register_ftrace_function(&ops);
msleep(10);
ftrace_set_filter(&ops, "try_to_wake_up", strlen("try_to_wake_up"), 1);
is not the same as:
.. code-block: c
ftrace_set_filter(&ops, "schedule", strlen("schedule"), 1);
register_ftrace_function(&ops);
msleep(10);
ftrace_set_filter(&ops, NULL, 0, 1);
ftrace_set_filter(&ops, "try_to_wake_up", strlen("try_to_wake_up"), 0);
As the latter will have a short time where all functions will call
the callback, between the time of the reset, and the time of the
new setting of the filter.
