Add two events lock_kernel and unlock_kernel() to trace the bkl uses. This opens the door for userspace tools to perform statistics about the callsites that use it, dependencies with other locks (by pairing the trace with lock events), use with recursivity and so on... The {__reacquire,release}_kernel_lock() events are not traced because these are called from schedule, thus the sched events are sufficient to trace them. Example of a trace: hald-addon-stor-4152 [000] 165.875501: unlock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/block_dev.c:1358 __blkdev_put() hald-addon-stor-4152 [000] 167.832974: lock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/block_dev.c:1167 __blkdev_get() How to get the callsites that acquire it recursively: cd /debug/tracing/events/bkl echo "lock_depth > 0" > filter firefox-4951 [001] 206.276967: unlock_kernel: depth: 1, fs/reiserfs/super.c:575 reiserfs_dirty_inode() You can also filter by file and/or line. v2: Use of FILTER_PTR_STRING attribute for files and lines fields to make them traceable.

Remove the duplicate comment of bstr_printf that is the same as the vsnprintf. Add the 's' option to the comment for the pointer function. This is more of an internal function so the little duplication of the comment here is OK.

commit 85bac32c ring-buffer: only enable ring_buffer_swap_cpu when needed broke oprofile (at least on s390, but likely on all platforms). this patch lets oprofile select RING_BUFER_ALLOW_SWAP to make ring_buffer_swap_cpu usable for oprofile.

For direct function pointers (like what mcount provides) PowerPC64 requires the use of %ps, otherwise nothing is printed. This patch converts all prints of functions retrieved through mcount to use the %ps format from the %pf. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Steven Rostedt authored
On PowerPC64 function pointers do not point directly at the functions, but instead point to pointers to the functions. The output of %pF expects to point to a pointer to the function, whereas %pS will show the function itself. mcount returns the direct pointer to the function and not the pointer to the pointer. Thus %pS must be used to show this. The function tracer requires printing of the functions without offsets and uses the %pf instead. %pF produces run_local_timers+0x4/0x1f %pf produces just run_local_timers For PowerPC64, we need to use the direct pointer, and we only have %pS which will produce .run_local_timers+0x4/0x1f This patch creates a %ps that matches the %pf as %pS matches %pF.

wb_clear_pending AFAIKS should not be called after the item has been put on the list, except by the worker threads. It could lead to the situation where the refcount is decremented below 0 and cause lots of problems. Presumably the !wb_has_dirty_io case is not a common one, so it can be discovered when the thread wakes up to check? Also add a comment in bdi_work_clear.

bdi_start_writeback() is currently split into two paths, one for WB_SYNC_NONE and one for WB_SYNC_ALL. Add bdi_sync_writeback() for WB_SYNC_ALL writeback and let bdi_start_writeback() handle only WB_SYNC_NONE. Push down the writeback_control allocation and only accept the parameters that make sense for each function. This cleans up the API considerably. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

We do this automatically in get_sb_bdev() from the set_bdev_super() callback. Filesystems that have their own private backing_dev_info must assign that in ->fill_super().

We need to be able to pass in range_cyclic as well, so instead of growing yet another argument, split the arguments into a struct wb_writeback_args structure that we can use internally. Also makes it easier to just copy all members to an on-stack struct, since we can't access work after clearing the pending bit. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

When ftrace had issues with NMIs, it was needed to annotate all the areas that kprobes had issues with notrace. Now that ftrace is NMI safe, the functions that limit ftrace from tracing are just a small few. Kprobes is too big of a set for ftrace not to trace. Remove the coupling.
