commit 8ad807318fcd62aba0e18c7c7fbfcc1af3fcdbab upstream.

Every time we set a filter, we leak memory allocated by
postfix_append_operand() and postfix_append_op().

commit 3279ba37db5d65c4ab0dcdee3b211ccb85bb563f upstream.

Due to legacy code from back when the dynamic tracer used a daemon,
only core kernel code was checking for failures. This is no longer
the case. We must check for failures any time we perform text modifications.

commit e7247a15ff3bbdab0a8b402dffa1171e5c05a8e0 upstream.

When the module is about the unload we release its call records.
The ftrace_release function was given wrong values representing
the module core boundaries, thus not releasing its call records.

Plus making ftrace_release function module specific.

If one filter item (for set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace) is being
setup by more than 1 consecutive writes (FTRACE_ITER_CONT flag), it won't
be handled corretly.

I used following program to test/verify:

[snip]
#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
#include &lt;sys/types.h&gt;
#include &lt;sys/stat.h&gt;
#include &lt;fcntl.h&gt;
#include &lt;string.h&gt;

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        int fd, i;
        char *file = argv[1];

        if (-1 == (fd = open(file, O_WRONLY))) {
                perror("open failed");
                return -1;
        }

        for(i = 0; i &lt; (argc - 2); i++) {
                int len = strlen(argv[2+i]);
                int cnt, off = 0;

                while(len) {
                        cnt = write(fd, argv[2+i] + off, len);
                        len -= cnt;
                        off += cnt;
                }
        }

        close(fd);
        return 0;
}
[snip]

"echo noglobal-clock &gt; trace_options" can be used to change trace
clock but "echo 0 &gt; options/global-clock" can't. The flag toggling
will be silently accepted without actually changing the clock callback.

We can fix it by using set_tracer_flags() in
trace_options_core_write().

<title>Remove double removal of blktrace directory</title>

    blktrace: remove debugfs entries on bad path

added in an explicit invocation of debugfs_remove for bt-&gt;dir, in
blk_remove_buf_file_callback we are also getting the directory removed. On
occasion I am seeing memory corruption that I have bisected down to
this commit. [The testing involves a (long) series of I/O benchmarks
with blktrace invoked around the actual runs.] I believe that this
committed patch is correct, but the problem actually lies in the code
in blk_remove_buf_file_callback.

With this patch I am able to consistently get complete runs whereas
previously I could not get a single run to complete.

The first part of the patch simply moves the debugfs_remove below the
relay_close: the relay_close call will remove files under bt-&gt;dir, and
so we should not remove the directory until all the files we created
have been removed. (Note: This is not sufficient to fix the problem -
the file system code has ref counts on the directoy, so our invocation
does not cause the directory to actually be removed. Nonetheless, we
should not rely upon that feature.)

<title>perf_counter: Fix/complete ftrace event records sampling</title>

<id>f413cdb80ce00ec1a4d0ab949b5d96c81cae7f75</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch implements the kernel side support for ftrace event
record sampling.

A new counter sampling attribute is added:

   PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD

which requests ftrace events record sampling. In this case
if a PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT counter is active and a tracepoint
fires, we emit the tracepoint binary record to the
perfcounter event buffer, as a sample.

Result, after setting PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD attribute from perf
record:

 perf record -f -F 1 -a -e workqueue:workqueue_execution
 perf report -D

 0x21e18 [0x48]: event: 9
 .
 . ... raw event: size 72 bytes

.
0x21e18 [0x48]: PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE (IP, 1): 10: 0xffffffff8100c7d0 period: 33

The raw ftrace binary record starts at offset 0020.

Translation:

 struct trace_entry {
	type		= 0x2b = 43;
	flags		= 1;
	preempt_count	= 2;
	pid		= 0xa = 10;
	tgid		= 0xa = 10;
 }

 thread_comm = "events/1"
 thread_pid  = 0xa = 10;
 func	    = 0xffffffff8131b1e0 = flush_to_ldisc()

What will come next?

 - Userspace support ('perf trace'), 'flight data recorder' mode
   for perf trace, etc.

 - The unconditional copy from the profiling callback brings
   some costs however if someone wants no such sampling to
   occur, and needs to be fixed in the future. For that we need
   to have an instant access to the perf counter attribute.
   This is a matter of a flag to add in the struct ftrace_event.

 - Take care of the events recursivity! Don't ever try to record
   a lock event for example, it seems some locking is used in
   the profiling fast path and lead to a tracing recursivity.
   That will be fixed using raw spinlock or recursivity
   protection.

 - [...]

 - Profit! :-)

   some costs however if someone wants no such sampling to
   occur, and needs to be fixed in the future. For that we need
   to have an instant access to the perf counter attribute.
   This is a matter of a flag to add in the struct ftrace_event.

 - Take care of the events recursivity! Don't ever try to record
   a lock event for example, it seems some locking is used in
   the profiling fast path and lead to a tracing recursivity.
   That will be fixed using raw spinlock or recursivity
   protection.

 - Profit! :-)

Merge reason: Merge up to almost-rc6 to pick up latest perfcounters

<title>tracing/filters: Always free pred on filter_add_subsystem_pred() failure</title>

If filter_add_subsystem_pred() fails due to ENOSPC or ENOMEM,
the pred doesn't get freed, while as a side effect it does for
other errors. Make it so the caller always frees the pred for
any error.

Dan Carpenter sent me a fix to prevent pred from being used if
it couldn't be allocated.  I noticed the same problem also
existed for the create_pred() case and added a fix for that.
