commit 868baf07b1a259f5f3803c1dc2777b6c358f83cf upstream.

When the fuction graph tracer starts, it needs to make a special
stack for each task to save the real return values of the tasks.
All running tasks have this stack created, as well as any new
tasks.

On CPU hot plug, the new idle task will allocate a stack as well
when init_idle() is called. The problem is that cpu hotplug does
not create a new idle_task. Instead it uses the idle task that
existed when the cpu went down.

ftrace_graph_init_task() will add a new ret_stack to the task
that is given to it. Because a clone will make the task
have a stack of its parent it does not check if the task's
ret_stack is already NULL or not. When the CPU hotplug code
starts a CPU up again, it will allocate a new stack even
though one already existed for it.

The solution is to treat the idle_task specially. In fact, the
function_graph code already does, just not at init_idle().
Instead of using the ftrace_graph_init_task() for the idle task,
which that function expects the task to be a clone, have a
separate ftrace_graph_init_idle_task(). Also, we will create a
per_cpu ret_stack that is used by the idle task. When we call
ftrace_graph_init_idle_task() it will check if the idle task's
ret_stack is NULL, if it is, then it will assign it the per_cpu
ret_stack.

<title>llseek: automatically add .llseek fop</title>

All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.

The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.

New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time.  Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.

The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.

Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.

Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

<title>tracing: Remove leftover FTRACE_ENABLE/DISABLE_MCOUNT enums</title>

The enums for FTRACE_ENABLE_MCOUNT and FTRACE_DISABLE_MCOUNT were
used as commands to ftrace_run_update_code(). But these commands
were used by the old nasty ftrace daemon that has long been slain.

This is a clean up patch to remove the references to these enums
and simplify the code a little.

<title>tracing: Fix reading of set_ftrace_filter across lists</title>

<id>57c072c7113f54f9512624d6c665db6184448782</id>

If we do:

 # cd /sys/kernel/debug
 # echo 'do_IRQ:traceon schedule:traceon sys_write:traceon' &gt; \
    set_ftrace_filter
 # cat set_ftrace_filter

We get the following output:

 #### all functions enabled ####
 sys_write:traceon:unlimited
 schedule:traceon:unlimited
 do_IRQ:traceon:unlimited

This outputs two lists. One is the fact that all functions are
currently enabled for function tracing, the other has three probed
functions, which happen to have 'traceon' as their commands.

Currently, when reading the first list (functions enabled) the
seq_file code will receive a "NULL" from the t_next() function
causing it to exit early. This makes "read()" from userspace stop
reading the code at this boarder. Although read is allowed to do this,
some (broken) applications might consider this an end of file and
stop early.

This patch adds the start of the second list to t_next() when it
finishes the first list. It is a simple change and gives the
set_ftrace_filter file nicer reading ability.

<title>tracing: Keep track of set_ftrace_filter position and allow lseek again</title>

This patch keeps track of the index within the elements of
set_ftrace_filter and if the position goes backwards, it nicely
resets and starts from the beginning again.

This allows for lseek and pread to work properly now.

<title>tracing: Replace typecasted void pointer in set_ftrace_filter code</title>

The set_ftrace_filter uses seq_file and reads from two lists. The
pointer returned by t_next() can either be of type struct dyn_ftrace
or struct ftrace_func_probe. If there is a bug (there was one)
the wrong pointer may be used and the reference can cause an oops.

This patch makes t_next() and friends only return the iterator structure
which now has a pointer of type struct dyn_ftrace and struct
ftrace_func_probe. The t_show() can now test if the pointer is NULL or
not and if the pointer exists, it is guaranteed to be of the correct type.

Now if there's a bug, only wrong data will be shown but not an oops.

<title>tracing: Do not reset *pos in set_ftrace_filter</title>

After the filtered functions are read, the probed functions are read
from the hash in set_ftrace_filter. When the hashed probed functions
are read, the *pos passed in is reset. Instead of modifying the pos
given to the read function, just record the pos where the filtered
functions ended and subtract from that.
