      tracing: Use same local variable when resetting the ring buffer · 283740c6
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      In the ftrace code that resets the ring buffer it references the
buffer with a local variable, but then uses the tr->buffer as the
parameter to reset. If the wakeup tracer is running, which can
switch the tr->buffer with the max saved buffer, this can break
the requirement of disabling the buffer before the reset.

   buffer = tr->buffer;
   ring_buffer_record_disable(buffer);
   synchronize_sched();
   __tracing_reset(tr->buffer, cpu);

If the tr->buffer is swapped, then the reset is not happening to the
buffer that was disabled. This will cause the ring buffer to fail.

Found with Li Zefan's ftrace_stress_test.

      function-graph: Init curr_ret_stack with ret_stack · ea14eb71
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      If the graph tracer is active, and a task is forked but the allocating of
the processes graph stack fails, it can cause crash later on.

This is due to the temporary stack being NULL, but the curr_ret_stack
variable is copied from the parent. If it is not -1, then in
ftrace_graph_probe_sched_switch() the following:

	for (index = next->curr_ret_stack; index >= 0; index--)
		next->ret_stack[index].calltime += timestamp;

Will cause a kernel OOPS.

      ring-buffer: Move disabled check into preempt disable section · 52fbe9cd
      Lai Jiangshan authored 
      The ring buffer resizing and resetting relies on a schedule RCU
action. The buffers are disabled, a synchronize_sched() is called
and then the resize or reset takes place.

But this only works if the disabling of the buffers are within the
preempt disabled section, otherwise a window exists that the buffers
can be written to while a reset or resize takes place.

      function-graph: Add tracing_thresh support to function_graph tracer · 0e950173
      Tim Bird authored 
      Add support for tracing_thresh to the function_graph tracer.  This
version of this feature isolates the checks into new entry and
return functions, to avoid adding more conditional code into the
main function_graph paths.

When the tracing_thresh is set and the function graph tracer is
enabled, only the functions that took longer than the time in
microseconds that was set in tracing_thresh are recorded. To do this
efficiently, only the function exits are recorded:

 [tracing]# echo 100 > tracing_thresh
 [tracing]# echo function_graph > current_tracer
 [tracing]# cat trace
 # tracer: function_graph
 #
 # CPU  DURATION                  FUNCTION CALLS
 # |     |   |                     |   |   |   |
  1) ! 119.214 us  |  } /* smp_apic_timer_interrupt */
  1)   <========== |
  0) ! 101.527 us  |              } /* __rcu_process_callbacks */
  0) ! 126.461 us  |            } /* rcu_process_callbacks */
  0) ! 145.111 us  |          } /* __do_softirq */
  0) ! 149.667 us  |        } /* do_softirq */
  0) ! 168.817 us  |      } /* irq_exit */
  0) ! 248.254 us  |    } /* smp_apic_timer_interrupt */

Also, add support for specifying tracing_thresh on the kernel
command line.  When used like so: "tracing_thresh=200 ftrace=function_graph"
this can be used to analyse system startup.  It is important to disable
tracing soon after boot, in order to avoid losing the trace data.

      tracing: Update the comm field in the right variable in update_max_tr · 1acaa1b2
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      The latency output showed:

 #    | task: -3 (uid:0 nice:0 policy:1 rt_prio:99)

The comm is missing in the "task:" and it looks like a minus 3 is
the output. The correct display should be:

 #    | task: migration/0-3 (uid:0 nice:0 policy:1 rt_prio:99)

The problem is that the comm is being stored in the wrong data
structure. The max_tr.data[cpu] is what stores the comm, not the
tr->data[cpu].

Before this patch the max_tr.data[cpu]->comm was zeroed and the /debug/trace
ended up showing just the '-' sign followed by the pid.

Also remove a needless initialization of max_data.

      function-graph: Use comment notation for func names of dangling '}' · a094fe04
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      When a '}' does not have a matching function start, the name is printed
within parenthesis. But this makes it confusing between ending '}'
and function starts. This patch makes the function name appear in C comment
notation.

      function-graph: Fix unused reference to ftrace_set_func() · 801c29fd
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      The declaration of ftrace_set_func() is at the start of the ftrace.c file
and wrapped with a #ifdef CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH condition. If function
graph tracing is enabled but CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE is not, a warning
about that function being declared static and unused is given.

This really should have been placed within the CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH
condition that uses ftrace_set_func().

Moving the declaration down fixes the warning and makes the code cleaner.

      tracing: Fix warning in s_next of trace file ops · ac91d854
      Lai Jiangshan authored 
      This warning in s_next() can be triggered by lseek():
 [<c018b3f7>] ? s_next+0x77/0x80
 [<c013e3c1>] warn_slowpath_common+0x81/0xa0
 [<c018b3f7>] ? s_next+0x77/0x80

 [<c01efe70>] ? seq_lseek+0x0/0x120
 [<c01d7081>] vfs_llseek+0x41/0x50
 [<c01d8116>] sys_llseek+0x66/0xa0
 [<c0102bd0>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x26

The iterator "leftover" variable is zeroed in the opening of the trace
file. But lseek can call s_start() which will call s_next() without
reseting the "leftover" variable back to zero, which might trigger
the WARN_ON_ONCE(iter->leftover) that is in s_next().
