Multiple events may use the same method to print their data.
Instead of having all events have a pointer to their print funtions,
the trace_event structure now points to a trace_event_functions structure
that will hold the way to print ouf the event.
The event itself is now passed to the print function to let the print
function know what kind of event it should print.
This opens the door to consolidating the way several events print
their output.

The raw_init function pointer in the event is used to initialize
various kinds of events. The type of initialization needed is usually
classed to the kind of event it is.
Two events with the same class will always have the same initialization
function, so it makes sense to move this to the class structure.
Perhaps even making a special system structure would work since
the initialization is the same for all events within a system.
But since there's no system structure (yet), this will just move it
to the class.

The text grew very slightly, but this is a constant growth that happened
with the changing of the C files that call the init code.
The bigger savings is the data which will be saved the more events share
a class.

Move the defined fields from the event to the class structure.
Since the fields of the event are defined by the class they belong
to, it makes sense to have the class hold the information instead
of the individual events. The events of the same class would just
hold duplicate information.
After this change the size of the kernel dropped another 3K:
text data bss dec hex filename
4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig
4900252 1057412 861512 6819176 680d68 vmlinux.regs
4900375 1053380 861512 6815267 67fe23 vmlinux.fields
Although the text increased, this was mainly due to the C files
having to adapt to the change. This is a constant increase, where
new tracepoints will not increase the Text. But the big drop is
in the data size (as well as needed allocations to hold the fields).
This will give even more savings as more tracepoints are created.
Note, if just TRACE_EVENT()s are used and not DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS()
with several DEFINE_EVENT()s, then the savings will be lost. But
we are pushing developers to consolidate events with DEFINE_EVENT()
so this should not be an issue.
The kprobes define a unique class to every new event, but are dynamic
so it should not be a issue.
The syscalls however have a single class but the fields for the individual
events are different. The syscalls use a metadata to define the
fields. I moved the fields list from the event to the metadata and
added a "get_fields()" function to the class. This function is used
to find the fields. For normal events and kprobes, get_fields() just
returns a pointer to the fields list_head in the class. For syscall
events, it returns the fields list_head in the metadata for the event.
v2: Fixed the syscall fields. The syscall metadata needs a list
of fields for both enter and exit.

This patch removes the register functions of TRACE_EVENT() to enable
and disable tracepoints. The registering of a event is now down
directly in the trace_events.c file. The tracepoint_probe_register()
is now called directly.
The prototypes are no longer type checked, but this should not be
an issue since the tracepoints are created automatically by the
macros. If a prototype is incorrect in the TRACE_EVENT() macro, then
other macros will catch it.
The trace_event_class structure now holds the probes to be called
by the callbacks. This removes needing to have each event have
a separate pointer for the probe.
To handle kprobes and syscalls, since they register probes in a
different manner, a "reg" field is added to the ftrace_event_class
structure. If the "reg" field is assigned, then it will be called for
enabling and disabling of the probe for either ftrace or perf. To let
the reg function know what is happening, a new enum (trace_reg) is
created that has the type of control that is needed.
With this new rework, the 82 kernel events and 618 syscall events
has their footprint dramatically lowered:
text data bss dec hex filename

4900252 1057412 861512 6819176 680d68 vmlinux.regs
The size went from 6863829 to 6819176, that's a total of 44K
in savings. With tracepoints being continuously added, this is
critical that the footprint becomes minimal.
v5: Added #ifdef CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS around a reference to perf
specific structure in trace_events.c.
v4: Fixed trace self tests to check probe because regfunc no longer
exists.
v3: Updated to handle void *data in beginning of probe parameters.
Also added the tracepoint: check_trace_callback_type_##call().
v2: Changed the callback probes to pass void * and typecast the
value within the function.

This patch adds data to be passed to tracepoint callbacks.
The created functions from DECLARE_TRACE() now need a mandatory data
parameter. For example:
DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, int value, value)
Will create the register function:
int register_trace_mytracepoint((void(*)(void *data, int value))probe,
void *data);
As the first argument, all callbacks (probes) must take a (void *data)
parameter. So a callback for the above tracepoint will look like:
void myprobe(void *data, int value)
{
}
The callback may choose to ignore the data parameter.
This change allows callbacks to register a private data pointer along
with the function probe.
void mycallback(void *data, int value);
register_trace_mytracepoint(mycallback, mydata);
Then the mycallback() will receive the "mydata" as the first parameter
before the args.
A more detailed example:
DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(int status), TP_ARGS(status));
/* In the C file */
DEFINE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(int status), TP_ARGS(status));
[...]
trace_mytracepoint(status);
/* In a file registering this tracepoint */
int my_callback(void *data, int status)
{
struct my_struct my_data = data;
[...]
}
[...]
my_data = kmalloc(sizeof(*my_data), GFP_KERNEL);
init_my_data(my_data);
register_trace_mytracepoint(my_callback, my_data);
The same callback can also be registered to the same tracepoint as long
as the data registered is different. Note, the data must also be used
to unregister the callback:
unregister_trace_mytracepoint(my_callback, my_data);
Because of the data parameter, tracepoints declared this way can not have
no args. That is:
DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(void), TP_ARGS());
will cause an error.
If no arguments are needed, a new macro can be used instead:
DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS(mytracepoint);
Since there are no arguments, the proto and args fields are left out.
This is part of a series to make the tracepoint footprint smaller:
text data bss dec hex filename
4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig
4914025 1088868 861512 6864405 68be15 vmlinux.class
4918492 1084612 861512 6864616 68bee8 vmlinux.tracepoint
Again, this patch also increases the size of the kernel, but
lays the ground work for decreasing it.
v5: Fixed net/core/drop_monitor.c to handle these updates.
v4: Moved the DECLARE_TRACE() DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS out of the
#ifdef CONFIG_TRACE_POINTS, since the two are the same in both
cases. The __DECLARE_TRACE() is what changes.
Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for pointing this out.
v3: Made all register_* functions require data to be passed and
all callbacks to take a void * parameter as its first argument.
This makes the calling functions comply with C standards.
Also added more comments to the modifications of DECLARE_TRACE().
v2: Made the DECLARE_TRACE() have the ability to pass arguments
and added a new DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS() for tracepoints that
do not need any arguments.

This check is meant to be used by tracepoint users which do a direct cast of
callbacks to (void *) for direct registration, thus bypassing the
register_trace_##name and unregister_trace_##name checks.
This permits to ensure that the callback type matches the function type at the
call site, but without generating any code.

This patch creates a ftrace_event_class struct that event structs point to.
This class struct will be made to hold information to modify the
events. Currently the class struct only holds the events system name.
This patch slightly increases the size, but this change lays the ground work
of other changes to make the footprint of tracepoints smaller.
With 82 standard tracepoints, and 618 system call tracepoints
(two tracepoints per syscall: enter and exit):

epoll should not touch flags in wait_queue_t. This patch introduces a new
function __add_wait_queue_exclusive(), for the users, who use wait queue as a
LIFO queue.
__add_wait_queue_tail_exclusive() is introduced too instead of
add_wait_queue_exclusive_locked(). remove_wait_queue_locked() is removed, as
it is a duplicate of __remove_wait_queue(), disliked by users, and with less
users.

Currently migration_thread is serving three purposes - migration
pusher, context to execute active_load_balance() and forced context
switcher for expedited RCU synchronize_sched. All three roles are
hardcoded into migration_thread() and determining which job is
scheduled is slightly messy.
This patch kills migration_thread and replaces all three uses with
cpu_stop. The three different roles of migration_thread() are
splitted into three separate cpu_stop callbacks -
migration_cpu_stop(), active_load_balance_cpu_stop() and
synchronize_sched_expedited_cpu_stop() - and each use case now simply
asks cpu_stop to execute the callback as necessary.
synchronize_sched_expedited() was implemented with private
preallocated resources and custom multi-cpu queueing and waiting
logic, both of which are provided by cpu_stop.
synchronize_sched_expedited_count is made atomic and all other shared
resources along with the mutex are dropped.
synchronize_sched_expedited() also implemented a check to detect cases
where not all the callback got executed on their assigned cpus and
fall back to synchronize_sched(). If called with cpu hotplug blocked,
cpu_stop already guarantees that and the condition cannot happen;
otherwise, stop_machine() would break. However, this patch preserves
the paranoid check using a cpumask to record on which cpus the stopper
ran so that it can serve as a bisection point if something actually
goes wrong theree.
Because the internal execution state is no longer visible,
rcu_expedited_torture_stats() is removed.
This patch also renames cpu_stop threads to from "stopper/%d" to
"migration/%d". The names of these threads ultimately don't matter
and there's no reason to make unnecessary userland visible changes.
With this patch applied, stop_machine() and sched now share the same
resources. stop_machine() is faster without wasting any resources and
sched migration users are much cleaner.

Reimplement stop_machine using cpu_stop. As cpu stoppers are
guaranteed to be available for all online cpus,
stop_machine_create/destroy() are no longer necessary and removed.
With resource management and synchronization handled by cpu_stop, the
new implementation is much simpler. Asking the cpu_stop to execute
the stop_cpu() state machine on all online cpus with cpu hotplug
disabled is enough.
stop_machine itself doesn't need to manage any global resources
anymore, so all per-instance information is rolled into struct
stop_machine_data and the mutex and all static data variables are
removed.
The previous implementation created and destroyed RT workqueues as
necessary which made stop_machine() calls highly expensive on very
large machines. According to Dimitri Sivanich, preventing the dynamic
creation/destruction makes booting faster more than twice on very
large machines. cpu_stop resources are preallocated for all online
cpus and should have the same effect.

Implement a simplistic per-cpu maximum priority cpu monopolization
mechanism. A non-sleeping callback can be scheduled to run on one or
multiple cpus with maximum priority monopolozing those cpus. This is
primarily to replace and unify RT workqueue usage in stop_machine and
scheduler migration_thread which currently is serving multiple
purposes.
Four functions are provided - stop_one_cpu(), stop_one_cpu_nowait(),
stop_cpus() and try_stop_cpus().
This is to allow clean sharing of resources among stop_cpu and all the
migration thread users. One stopper thread per cpu is created which
is currently named "stopper/CPU". This will eventually replace the
migration thread and take on its name.
* This facility was originally named cpuhog and lived in separate
files but Peter Zijlstra nacked the name and thus got renamed to
cpu_stop and moved into stop_machine.c.
* Better reporting of preemption leak as per Peter's suggestion.

When more than one header is included under CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
the DECLARE_TRACE() macro is not defined back to its original meaning
and the second include will fail to initialize the TRACE_EVENT()
and DECLARE_TRACE() correctly.
To fix this the tracepoint.h file moves the define of DECLARE_TRACE()
out of the #ifdef _LINUX_TRACEPOINT_H protection (just like the
define of the TRACE_EVENT()). This way the define_trace.h will undef
the DECLARE_TRACE() at the end and allow new headers to start
from scratch.
This patch also requires fixing the include/events/napi.h
It currently uses DECLARE_TRACE() and should be converted to a TRACE_EVENT()
format. But I'll leave that change to the authors of that file.
But since the napi.h file depends on using the CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
and does not define its own DEFINE_TRACE() it must use the define_trace.h
method instead.

The ftrace.h file contains several functions as macros when the
functions are disabled due to config options. This patch converts
most of them to static inlines.
There are two exceptions:
register_ftrace_function() and unregister_ftrace_function()
This is because their parameter "ops" must not be evaluated since
code using the function is allowed to #ifdef out the creation of
the parameter.
This also fixes an error caused by recent changes:

When performing a non-consuming read, a synchronize_sched() is
performed once for every cpu which is actively tracing.
This is very expensive, and can make it take several seconds to open
up the 'trace' file with lots of cpus.
Only one synchronize_sched() call is actually necessary. What is
desired is for all cpus to see the disabling state change. So we
transform the existing sequence:
for_each_cpu() {
ring_buffer_read_start();
}
where each ring_buffer_start() call performs a synchronize_sched(),
into the following:
for_each_cpu() {
ring_buffer_read_prepare();
}
ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync();
for_each_cpu() {
ring_buffer_read_start();
}
wherein only the single ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync() call needs to
do the synchronize_sched().
The first phase, via ring_buffer_read_prepare(), allocates the 'iter'
memory and increments ->record_disabled.
In the second phase, ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync() makes sure this
->record_disabled state is visible fully to all cpus.
And in the final third phase, the ring_buffer_read_start() calls reset
the 'iter' objects allocated in the first phase since we now know that
none of the cpus are adding trace entries any more.
This makes openning the 'trace' file nearly instantaneous on a
sparc64 Niagara2 box with 128 cpus tracing.

If a futex key happens to be located within a huge page mapped
MAP_PRIVATE, get_futex_key() can go into an infinite loop waiting for a
page->mapping that will never exist.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=552257 for more details
about the problem.
This patch makes page->mapping a poisoned value that includes
PAGE_MAPPING_ANON mapped MAP_PRIVATE. This is enough for futex to
continue but because of PAGE_MAPPING_ANON, the poisoned value is not
dereferenced or used by futex. No other part of the VM should be
dereferencing the page->mapping of a hugetlbfs page as its page cache is
not on the LRU.

This cleans up a few of the complaints of __generic_block_fiemap. I've
fixed all the typing stuff, used inline functions instead of macros,
gotten rid of a couple of variables, and made sure the size and block
requests are all block aligned. It also fixes a problem where sometimes
FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST wasn't being set properly.

Dave reported that his large SPARC machines spend lots of time in

Commit 2c61be0a9478258f77b66208a0c4b1f5f8161c3c (NFS: Ensure that the WRITE
and COMMIT RPC calls are always uninterruptible) exposed a race on file
close. In order to ensure correct close-to-open behaviour, we want to wait
for all outstanding background commit operations to complete.
This patch adds an inode flag that indicates if a commit operation is under
way, and provides a mechanism to allow ->write_inode() to wait for its
completion if this is a data integrity flush.

The ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter, sysctl and sysrq let one
dump every cpu buffers when an oops or panic happens.
It's nice when you have few cpus but it may take ages if have many,
plus you miss the real origin of the problem in all the cpu traces.
Sometimes, all you need is to dump the cpu buffer that triggered the
opps, most of the time it is our main interest.
This patch modifies ftrace_dump_on_oops to handle this choice.
The ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter, when it comes alone, has
the same behaviour than before. But ftrace_dump_on_oops=orig_cpu
will only dump the buffer of the cpu that oops'ed.
Similarly, sysctl kernel.ftrace_dump_on_oops=1 and
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops keep their previous
behaviour. But setting 2 jumps into cpu origin dump mode.
v2: Fix double setup
v3: Fix spelling issues reported by Randy Dunlap
v4: Also update __ftrace_dump in the selftests

Int is not long enough to store the size of a dirty bitmap.
This patch fixes this problem with the introduction of a wrapper
function to calculate the sizes of dirty bitmaps.
Note: in mark_page_dirty(), we have to consider the fact that
__set_bit() takes the offset as int, not long.

The lockdep facility temporarily disables lockdep checking by
incrementing the current->lockdep_recursion variable. Such
disabling happens in NMIs and in other situations where lockdep
might expect to recurse on itself.
This patch therefore checks current->lockdep_recursion, disabling RCU
lockdep splats when this variable is non-zero. In addition, this patch
removes the "likely()", as suggested by Lai Jiangshan.

Among else, this allows projects like libdc1394 to carry copies of the
ABI related header files without them or distributors having to worry
about effects on the project's overall license terms. Switch to MIT
license as suggested by Kristian. Also update the year in the

This patch adds variants of rcu_dereference() that handle
situations where the RCU-protected data structure cannot change,
perhaps due to our holding the update-side lock, or where the
RCU-protected pointer is only to be fetched, not dereferenced.
These are needed due to some performance concerns with using
rcu_dereference() where it is not required, aside from the need
for lockdep/sparse checking.
The new rcu_access_pointer() primitive is for the case where the
pointer is be fetch and not dereferenced. This primitive may be
used without protection, RCU or otherwise, due to the fact that
it uses ACCESS_ONCE().
The new rcu_dereference_protected() primitive is for the case
where updates are prevented, for example, due to holding the
update-side lock. This primitive does neither ACCESS_ONCE() nor
smp_read_barrier_depends(), so can only be used when updates are
somehow prevented.
