<title>tracing/filters: use ring_buffer_discard_commit() in filter_check_discard()</title>

<id>eb02ce017dd83985041a7e54c6449f92d53b026f</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch changes filter_check_discard() to make use of the new
ring_buffer_discard_commit() function and modifies the current users to
call the old commit function in the non-discard case.

It also introduces a version of filter_check_discard() that uses the
global trace buffer (filter_current_check_discard()) for those cases.

v2 changes:

- fix compile error noticed by Ingo Molnar

<title>tracing/filters: add run-time field descriptions to TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT events</title>

<id>e1112b4d96859367a93468027c9635e2ac04eb3f</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds run-time field descriptions to all the event formats
exported using TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT.  It also hooks up all the tracers
that use them (i.e. the tracers in the 'ftrace subsystem') so they can
also have their output filtered by the event-filtering mechanism.

When I was testing this, there were a couple of things that fooled me
into thinking the filters weren't working, when actually they were -
I'll mention them here so others don't make the same mistakes (and file
bug reports. ;-)

One is that some of the tracers trace multiple events e.g. the
sched_switch tracer uses the context_switch and wakeup events, and if
you don't set filters on all of the traced events, the unfiltered output
from the events without filters on them can make it look like the
filtering as a whole isn't working properly, when actually it is doing
what it was asked to do - it just wasn't asked to do the right thing.

The other is that for the really high-volume tracers e.g. the function
tracer, the volume of filtered events can be so high that it pushes the
unfiltered events out of the ring buffer before they can be read so e.g.
cat'ing the trace file repeatedly shows either no output, or once in
awhile some output but that isn't there the next time you read the
trace, which isn't what you normally expect when reading the trace file.
If you read from the trace_pipe file though, you can catch them before
they disappear.

Changes from v1:

As suggested by Frederic Weisbecker:

- get rid of externs in functions
- added unlikely() to filter_check_discard()

<title>x86, bts, hw-branch-tracer: add _noirq variants to the debug store interface</title>

<id>de79f54f5347ad7ec6ff55ccbb6d4ab2a21f6a93</id>
<content type='text'>
The hw-branch-tracer uses debug store functions from an on_each_cpu()
context, which is simply wrong since the functions may sleep.

Add _noirq variants for most functions, which  may be called with
interrupts disabled.

Separate per-cpu and per-task tracing and allow per-cpu tracing to be
controlled from any cpu.

Make the hw-branch-tracer use the new debug store interface, synchronize
with hotplug cpu event using get/put_online_cpus(), and remove the
unnecessary spinlock.

Make the ptrace bts and the ds selftest code use the new interface.

Defer the ds selftest.

Impact: fix CPU hotplug lockup

bts_hotcpu_handler() is called with irqs disabled, so using mutex_lock()
is a no-no.

All the BTS codepaths here are atomic (they do not schedule), so using
a spinlock is the right solution.
