If all functions are enabled, there's a comment displayed in the file to
denote that:

  # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
  # cat set_ftrace_filter
 #### all functions enabled ####

If a function trigger is set, those are displayed as well:

  # echo schedule:traceoff >> /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
  # cat set_ftrace_filter
 #### all functions enabled ####
 schedule:traceoff:unlimited

But if you read that file with dd, the output can change:

  # dd if=/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter bs=1
 #### all functions enabled ####
 32+0 records in
 32+0 records out
 32 bytes copied, 7.0237e-05 s, 456 kB/s

This is because the "pos" variable is updated for the comment, but func_pos
is not. "func_pos" is used by the triggers (or hashes) to know how many
functions were printed and it bases its index from the pos - func_pos.
func_pos should be 1 to count for the comment printed. But since it is not,
t_hash_start() thinks that one trigger was already printed.

The cat gets to t_hash_start() via t_next() and not t_start() which updates
both pos and func_pos.

The loop in t_start() of calling t_next() will call t_hash_start() if the
pos is beyond the functions and enters the hash items. There's no reason to
check if p is NULL and call t_hash_start(), as that would be redundant.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Instead of testing if the hash to use is the filter_hash or the notrace_hash
at each iteration, do the test at open, and set the iter->hash to point to
the corresponding filter or notrace hash. Then use that directly instead of
testing which hash needs to be used each iteration.

The return status check of __seq_open_private() is rather strange:

	iter = __seq_open_private();
	if (iter) {
		/* do stuff */
	}

	return iter ? 0 : -ENOMEM;

It makes much more sense to do the return of failure right away:

	iter = __seq_open_private();
	if (!iter)
		return -ENOMEM;

	/* do stuff */

	return 0;

This clean up will make updates to this code a bit nicer.

Moving enabling of function tracing to early boot, even before scheduling is
enabled, means that it is not safe to enable interrupts. When function
tracing was enabled at boot up, it use to happen after scheduling and the
other CPUs were brought up. That required running a sync across all CPUs
when modifying the function hook locations in the code. To do the
synchronization, interrupts had to be enabled. Now function tracing can be
started before the other CPUs are brought up, and enabling interrupts in
that case is dangerous. As only tho boot CPU is active, there is no reason
to run the synchronization. If the online CPU count is one, do not bother
doing the synchronization. This removes the need to enable interrupts.

Currently trace_handle_return() looks like this:

 static inline enum print_line_t trace_handle_return(struct trace_seq *s)
 {
        return trace_seq_has_overflowed(s) ?
                TRACE_TYPE_PARTIAL_LINE : TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED;
 }

Where trace_seq_overflowed(s) is:

 static inline bool trace_seq_has_overflowed(struct trace_seq *s)
 {
	return s->full || seq_buf_has_overflowed(&s->seq);
 }

And seq_buf_has_overflowed(&s->seq) is:

 static inline bool
 seq_buf_has_overflowed(struct seq_buf *s)
 {
	return s->len > s->size;
 }

Making trace_handle_return() into:

 return (s->full || (s->seq->len > s->seq->size)) ?
           TRACE_TYPE_PARTIAL_LINE :
           TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED;

One would think this is not an issue to keep as an inline. But because this
is used in the TRACE_EVENT() macro, it is extended for every tracepoint in
the system. Taking a look at a single tracepoint x86_irq_vector (was the
first one I randomly chosen). As trace_handle_return is used in the
TRACE_EVENT() macro of trace_raw_output_##call() we disassemble
trace_raw_output_x86_irq_vector and do a diff:

- is the original
+ is the out-of-line code

I removed identical lines that were different just due to different
addresses.

Adding a hook into free_reserve_area() that informs ftrace that boot up init
text is being free, lets ftrace safely remove those init functions from its
records, which keeps ftrace from trying to modify text that no longer
exists.

Note, this still does not allow for tracing .init text of modules, as
modules require different work for freeing its init code.

This BUG_ON() triggered for me once at shutdown, and I don't see a
reason for the check.  The code correctly checks whether the swap slot
cache is usable or not, so an uninitialized swap slot cache is not
actually problematic afaik.

I've temporarily just switched the BUG_ON() to a WARN_ON_ONCE(), since
I'm not sure why that seemingly pointless check was there.  I suspect
the real fix is to just remove it entirely, but for now we'll warn about
it but not bring the machine down.

Instead of putting cmd_time_out under ../target/core/user_0/foo/control,
which has historically been used by parameters needed for initial
backend device configuration, go ahead and move cmd_time_out into
a backend device attribute.

In order to do this, tcmu_module_init() has been updated to create
a local struct configfs_attribute **tcmu_attrs, that is based upon
the existing passthrough_attrib_attrs along with the new cmd_time_out
attribute.  Once **tcm_attrs has been setup, go ahead and point
it at tcmu_ops->tb_dev_attrib_attrs so it's picked up by target-core.

Also following MNC's previous change, ->cmd_time_out is stored in
milliseconds but exposed via configfs in seconds.  Also, note this
patch restricts the modification of ->cmd_time_out to before +
after the TCMU device has been configured, but not while it has

  openrisc: Export symbols needed by modules
  openrisc: fix issue handling 8 byte get_user calls
  openrisc: xchg: fix `computed is not used` warning

This fixes the following races:

1. core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt could have read
tg_pt_gp_alua_access_state and gone into this if chunk:

if (!explicit &&
        atomic_read(&tg_pt_gp->tg_pt_gp_alua_access_state) ==
           ALUA_ACCESS_STATE_TRANSITION) {

and then core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt_work could update the
state. core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt would then only set
tg_pt_gp_alua_pending_state and the tg_pt_gp_alua_access_state would
not get updated with the second calls state.

2. core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt could be setting
tg_pt_gp_transition_complete while the tg_pt_gp_transition_work
is already completing. core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt then waits on the
completion that will never be called.

To handle these issues, we just call flush_work which will return when
core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt_work has completed so there is no need
to do the complete/wait. And, if core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt_work
was running, instead of trying to sneak in the state change, we just
schedule up another core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt_work call.

Note that this does not handle a possible race where there are multiple
threads call core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt at the same time. I think
we need a mutex in target_tg_pt_gp_alua_access_state_store.

Userspace target_core_user handlers like tcmu-runner may want to set the
ALUA state to transitioning while it does implicit transitions. This
patch allows that state when set from configfs.

The implicit transition time tells initiators the min time
to wait before timing out a transition. We currently schedule
the transition to occur in tg_pt_gp_implicit_trans_secs
seconds so there is no room for delays. If
core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt_work->core_alua_update_tpg_primary_metadata
needs to write out info to a remote file, then the initiator can
easily time out the operation.

If tcmu-runner is processing a STPG and needs to change the kernel's
ALUA state then we cannot use the same work queue for task management
requests and ALUA transitions, because we could deadlock. The problem
occurs when a STPG times out before tcmu-runner is able to
call into target_tg_pt_gp_alua_access_state_store->
core_alua_do_port_transition -> core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt ->
queue_work. In this case, the tmr is on the work queue waiting for
the STPG to complete, but the STPG transition is now queued behind
the waiting tmr.

Note:
This bug will also be fixed by this patch:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/target-devel/msg14560.html
which switches the tmr code to use the system workqueues.

For both, I am not sure if we need a dedicated workqueue since
it is not a performance path and I do not think we need WQ_MEM_RECLAIM
to make forward progress to free up memory like the block layer does.

We do not setup the LU group for pscsi devices, so if you write
a state to alua_access_state that will cause a transition you will
get a NULL pointer dereference.

This patch will fail attempts to try and transition the path
for backend devices that set the TRANSPORT_FLAG_PASSTHROUGH_ALUA
flag.
