Pull tracking updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "Most of the changes are clean ups and small fixes.  Some of them have
  stable tags to them.  I searched through my INBOX just as the merge
  window opened and found lots of patches to pull.  I ran them through
  all my tests and they were in linux-next for a few days.

  Features added this release:
  ----------------------------

   - Module globbing.  You can now filter function tracing to several
     modules.  # echo '*:mod:*snd*' &gt; set_ftrace_filter (Dmitry Safonov)

   - Tracer specific options are now visible even when the tracer is not
     active.  It was rather annoying that you can only see and modify
     tracer options after enabling the tracer.  Now they are in the
     options/ directory even when the tracer is not active.  Although
     they are still only visible when the tracer is active in the
     trace_options file.

   - Trace options are now per instance (although some of the tracer
     specific options are global)

   - New tracefs file: set_event_pid.  If any pid is added to this file,
     then all events in the instance will filter out events that are not
     part of this pid.  sched_switch and sched_wakeup events handle next
     and the wakee pids"

* tag 'trace-v4.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (68 commits)
  tracefs: Fix refcount imbalance in start_creating()
  tracing: Put back comma for empty fields in boot string parsing
  tracing: Apply tracer specific options from kernel command line.
  tracing: Add some documentation about set_event_pid
  ring_buffer: Remove unneeded smp_wmb() before wakeup of reader benchmark
  tracing: Allow dumping traces without tracking trace started cpus
  ring_buffer: Fix more races when terminating the producer in the benchmark
  ring_buffer: Do no not complete benchmark reader too early
  tracing: Remove redundant TP_ARGS redefining
  tracing: Rename max_stack_lock to stack_trace_max_lock
  tracing: Allow arch-specific stack tracer
  recordmcount: arm64: Replace the ignored mcount call into nop
  recordmcount: Fix endianness handling bug for nop_mcount

This is really about simplifying the double xchg patterns into
a single cmpxchg, with the same logic. Other than the immediate
cleanup, there are some subtleties this change deals with:

(i) While the load of the old bt is fully ordered wrt everything,
ie:

        old_bt = xchg(&amp;q-&gt;blk_trace, bt);             [barrier]
        if (old_bt)
	     (void) xchg(&amp;q-&gt;blk_trace, old_bt);    [barrier]

blk_trace could still be changed between the xchg and the old_bt
load. Note that this description is merely theoretical and afaict
very small, but doing everything in a single context with cmpxchg
closes this potential race.

(ii) Ordering guarantees are obviously kept with cmpxchg.

(iii) Gets rid of the hacky-by-nature (void)xchg pattern.

<title>tracing: Move trace_flags from global to a trace_array field</title>

In preparation to make trace options per instance, the global trace_flags
needs to be moved from being a global variable to a field within the trace
instance trace_array structure.

There's still more work to do, as there's some functions that use
trace_flags without passing in a way to get to the current_trace array. For
those, the global_trace is used directly (from trace.c). This includes
setting and clearing the trace_flags. This means that when a new instance is
created, it just gets the trace_flags of the global_trace and will not be
able to modify them. Depending on the functions that have access to the
trace_array, the flags of an instance may not affect parts of its trace,
where the global_trace is used. These will be fixed in future changes.

In preparation for having trace options be per instance, the trace_array
needs to be passed to the trace_buffer_unlock_commit(). The
trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() already passes in the trace_event_file
where the trace_array can be derived from.

Also added a "__init" to the boot up test event plus function tracing
function function_test_events_call().

<title>block: add a bi_error field to struct bio</title>

<id>4246a0b63bd8f56a1469b12eafeb875b1041a451</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:

 (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
 (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback

The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario.  Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.

So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "This patch series contains several clean ups and even a new trace
  clock "monitonic raw".  Also some enhancements to make the ring buffer
  even faster.  But the biggest and most noticeable change is the
  renaming of the ftrace* files, structures and variables that have to
  deal with trace events.

  Over the years I've had several developers tell me about their
  confusion with what ftrace is compared to events.  Technically,
  "ftrace" is the infrastructure to do the function hooks, which include
  tracing and also helps with live kernel patching.  But the trace
  events are a separate entity altogether, and the files that affect the
  trace events should not be named "ftrace".  These include:

    include/trace/ftrace.h         -&gt;    include/trace/trace_events.h
    include/linux/ftrace_event.h   -&gt;    include/linux/trace_events.h

  Also, functions that are specific for trace events have also been renamed:

    ftrace_print_*()               -&gt;    trace_print_*()
    (un)register_ftrace_event()    -&gt;    (un)register_trace_event()
    ftrace_event_name()            -&gt;    trace_event_name()
    ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled() -&gt;    trace_trigger_soft_disabled()
    ftrace_define_fields_##call()  -&gt;    trace_define_fields_##call()
    ftrace_get_offsets_##call()    -&gt;    trace_get_offsets_##call()

  Structures have been renamed:

    ftrace_event_file              -&gt;    trace_event_file
    ftrace_event_{call,class}      -&gt;    trace_event_{call,class}
    ftrace_event_buffer            -&gt;    trace_event_buffer
    ftrace_subsystem_dir           -&gt;    trace_subsystem_dir
    ftrace_event_raw_##call        -&gt;    trace_event_raw_##call
    ftrace_event_data_offset_##call-&gt;    trace_event_data_offset_##call
    ftrace_event_type_funcs_##call -&gt;    trace_event_type_funcs_##call

  And a few various variables and flags have also been updated.

  This has been sitting in linux-next for some time, and I have not
  heard a single complaint about this rename breaking anything.  Mostly
  because these functions, variables and structures are mostly internal
  to the tracing system and are seldom (if ever) used by anything
  external to that"

Yep, that's right: gcc isn't smart enough to realize that replacing '/' by
'_' cannot change the strlen(), so we call it again and again (at least
when a '/' is found).  Even if gcc were that smart, this construction
would still loop over the string twice, once for the initial strlen() call
and then the open-coded loop.

Let's simply use strreplace() instead.

<title>tracing: Rename (un)register_ftrace_event() to (un)register_trace_event()</title>

The name "ftrace" really refers to the function hook infrastructure. It
is not about the trace_events. The functions (un)register_ftrace_event() is
really about trace_events, and the name should be register_trace_event()
instead.

Also renamed ftrace_event_reg() to trace_event_reg() for the same reason.

Pull block driver core update from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the pull request for the core block IO changes for 3.19.  Not
  a huge round this time, mostly lots of little good fixes:

   - Fix a bug in sysfs blktrace interface causing a NULL pointer
     dereference, when enabled/disabled through that API.  From Arianna
     Avanzini.

   - Various updates/fixes/improvements for blk-mq:

        - A set of updates from Bart, mostly fixing buts in the tag
          handling.

        - Cleanup/code consolidation from Christoph.

        - Extend queue_rq API to be able to handle batching issues of IO
          requests. NVMe will utilize this shortly. From me.

        - A few tag and request handling updates from me.

        - Cleanup of the preempt handling for running queues from Paolo.

        - Prevent running of unmapped hardware queues from Ming Lei.

        - Move the kdump memory limiting check to be in the correct
          location, from Shaohua.

        - Initialize all software queues at init time from Takashi. This
          prevents a kobject warning when CPUs are brought online that
          weren't online when a queue was registered.

   - Single writeback fix for I_DIRTY clearing from Tejun.  Queued with
     the core IO changes, since it's just a single fix.

   - Version X of the __bio_add_page() segment addition retry from
     Maurizio.  Hope the Xth time is the charm.

   - Documentation fixup for IO scheduler merging from Jan.

   - Introduce (and use) generic IO stat accounting helpers for non-rq
     drivers, from Gu Zheng.

   - Kill off artificial limiting of max sectors in a request from
     Christoph"

* 'for-3.19/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (26 commits)
  bio: modify __bio_add_page() to accept pages that don't start a new segment
  blk-mq: Fix uninitialized kobject at CPU hotplugging
  blktrace: don't let the sysfs interface remove trace from running list
  blk-mq: Use all available hardware queues
  blk-mq: Micro-optimize bt_get()
  blk-mq: Fix a race between bt_clear_tag() and bt_get()
  blk-mq: Avoid that __bt_get_word() wraps multiple times
  blk-mq: Fix a use-after-free
  blk-mq: prevent unmapped hw queue from being scheduled
  blk-mq: re-check for available tags after running the hardware queue
  blk-mq: fix hang in bt_get()
  blk-mq: move the kdump check to blk_mq_alloc_tag_set
  blk-mq: cleanup tag free handling
  blk-mq: use 'nr_cpu_ids' as highest CPU ID count for hwq &lt;-&gt; cpu map
  blk: introduce generic io stat accounting help function
  blk-mq: handle the single queue case in blk_mq_hctx_next_cpu
  genhd: check for int overflow in disk_expand_part_tbl()

Currently, blktrace can be started/stopped via its ioctl-based interface
(used by the userspace blktrace tool) or via its ftrace interface. The
function blk_trace_remove_queue(), called each time an "enable" tunable
of the ftrace interface transitions to zero, removes the trace from the
running list, even if no function from the sysfs interface adds it to
such a list. This leads to a null pointer dereference.  This commit
changes the blk_trace_remove_queue() function so that it does not remove
the blk_trace from the running list.

v2:
    - Now the patch removes the invocation of list_del() instead of
      adding an useless if branch, as suggested by Namhyung Kim.
