Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"Along with the usual minor fixes and clean ups there are a few major
changes with this pull request.
1) Multiple buffers for the ftrace facility
This feature has been requested by many people over the last few
years. I even heard that Google was about to implement it themselves.
I finally had time and cleaned up the code such that you can now
create multiple instances of the ftrace buffer and have different
events go to different buffers. This way, a low frequency event will
not be lost in the noise of a high frequency event.
Note, currently only events can go to different buffers, the tracers
(ie function, function_graph and the latency tracers) still can only
be written to the main buffer.
2) The function tracer triggers have now been extended.
The function tracer had two triggers. One to enable tracing when a
function is hit, and one to disable tracing. Now you can record a
stack trace on a single (or many) function(s), take a snapshot of the
buffer (copy it to the snapshot buffer), and you can enable or disable
an event to be traced when a function is hit.
3) A perf clock has been added.
A "perf" clock can be chosen to be used when tracing. This will cause
ftrace to use the same clock as perf uses, and hopefully this will
make it easier to interleave the perf and ftrace data for analysis."

As ftrace_filter_lseek is now used with ftrace_pid_fops, it needs to
be moved out of the #ifdef CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE section as the
ftrace_pid_fops is defined when DYNAMIC_FTRACE is not.

Currently set_ftrace_pid and set_graph_function files use seq_lseek
for their fops. However seq_open() is called only for FMODE_READ in
the fops->open() so that if an user tries to seek one of those file
when she open it for writing, it sees NULL seq_file and then panic.
It can be easily reproduced with following command:
$ cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
$ echo 1234 | sudo tee -a set_ftrace_pid
In this example, GNU coreutils' tee opens the file with fopen(, "a")
and then the fopen() internally calls lseek().

The function tracing control loop used by perf spits out a warning
if the called function is not a control function. This is because
the control function references a per cpu allocated data structure
on struct ftrace_ops that is not allocated for other types of
functions.
commit 0a016409e42 "ftrace: Optimize the function tracer list loop"
Had an optimization done to all function tracing loops to optimize
for a single registered ops. Unfortunately, this allows for a slight
race when tracing starts or ends, where the stub function might be
called after the current registered ops is removed. In this case we
get the following dump:

To fix this a new ftrace_ops flag is added that denotes the ftrace_list_end
ftrace_ops stub as just that, a stub. This flag is now checked in the
control loop and the function is not called if the flag is set.
Thanks to Jovi for not just reporting the bug, but also pointing out

When a function probe is created, each function that the probe is
attached to, a "callback" method is called. On release of the probe,
each function entry calls the "free" method.
First, "callback" is a confusing name and does not really match what
it does. Callback sounds like it will be called when the probe
triggers. But that's not the case. This is really an "init" function,
so lets rename it as such.
Secondly, both "init" and "free" do not pass enough information back
to the handlers. Pass back the ops, ip and data for each time the
method is called. We have the information, might as well use it.

Move SAVE_REGS support flag into Kconfig and rename
it to CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS. This also introduces
CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS which indicates
the architecture depending part of ftrace has a code

On the other hand, CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS indicates
the code is enabled.

Add selftests to test the function tracing recursion protection actually
does work. It also tests if a ftrace_ops states it will perform its own
protection. Although, even if the ftrace_ops states it will protect itself,
the ftrace infrastructure may still provide protection if the arch does
not support all features or another ftrace_ops is registered.

As more users of the function tracer utility are being added, they do
not always add the necessary recursion protection. To protect from
function recursion due to tracing, if the callback ftrace_ops does not
specifically specify that it protects against recursion (by setting
the FTRACE_OPS_FL_RECURSION_SAFE flag), the list operation will be
called by the mcount trampoline which adds recursion protection.
If the flag is set, then the function will be called directly with no
extra protection.
Note, the list operation is called if more than one function callback
is registered, or if the arch does not support all of the function
tracer features.

Add a way to have different functions calling different trampolines.
If a ftrace_ops wants regs saved on the return, then have only the
functions with ops registered to save regs. Functions registered by
other ops would not be affected, unless the functions overlap.
If one ftrace_ops registered functions A, B and C and another ops
registered fucntions to save regs on A, and D, then only functions
A and D would be saving regs. Function B and C would work as normal.
Although A is registered by both ops: normal and saves regs; this is fine
as saving the regs is needed to satisfy one of the ops that calls it
but the regs are ignored by the other ops function.
x86_64 implements the full regs saving, and i386 just passes a NULL
for regs to satisfy the ftrace_ops passing. Where an arch must supply
both regs and ftrace_ops parameters, even if regs is just NULL.
It is OK for an arch to pass NULL regs. All function trace users that
require regs passing must add the flag FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS when
registering the ftrace_ops. If the arch does not support saving regs
then the ftrace_ops will fail to register. The flag
FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS_IF_SUPPORTED may be set that will prevent the
ftrace_ops from failing to register. In this case, the handler may
either check if regs is not NULL or check if ARCH_SUPPORTS_FTRACE_SAVE_REGS.
If the arch supports passing regs it will set this macro and pass regs
for ops that request them. All other archs will just pass NULL.

Return as the 4th paramater to the function tracer callback the pt_regs.
Later patches that implement regs passing for the architectures will require
having the ftrace_ops set the SAVE_REGS flag, which will tell the arch
to take the time to pass a full set of pt_regs to the ftrace_ops callback
function. If the arch does not support it then it should pass NULL.
If an arch can pass full regs, then it should define:
ARCH_SUPPORTS_FTRACE_SAVE_REGS to 1

As the function tracer starts to get more features, the support for
theses features will spread out throughout the different architectures
over time. These features boil down to what each arch does in the
mcount trampoline (the ftrace_caller).
Currently there's two features that are not the same throughout the
archs.
1) Support to stop function tracing before the callback
2) passing of the ftrace ops
Both of these require placing an indirect function to support the
features if the mcount trampoline does not.
On a side note, for all architectures, when more than one callback
is registered to the function tracer, an intermediate 'list' function
is called by the mcount trampoline to iterate through the callbacks
that are registered.
Instead of making a separate function for each of these features,
and requiring several indirect calls, just use the single 'list' function
as the intermediate, to handle all cases. If an arch does not support
the 'stop function tracing' or the passing of ftrace ops, just force
it to use the list function that will handle the features required.
This makes the code cleaner and simpler and removes a lot of
#ifdefs in the code.

Currently the function trace callback receives only the ip and parent_ip
of the function that it traced. It would be more powerful to also return
the ops that registered the function as well. This allows the same function
to act differently depending on what ftrace_ops registered it.

ftrace_location() is passed an addr, and returns 1 if the addr is
on a ftrace nop (or caller to ftrace_caller), and 0 otherwise.
To let kprobes know if it should move a breakpoint or not, it
must return the actual addr that is the start of the ftrace nop.
This way a kprobe placed on the location of a ftrace nop, can
instead be placed on the instruction after the nop. Even if the
probe addr is on the second or later byte of the nop, it can
simply be moved forward.

This method changes x86 to add a breakpoint to the mcount locations
instead of calling stop machine.
Now that iret can be handled by NMIs, we perform the following to
update code:
1) Add a breakpoint to all locations that will be modified
2) Sync all cores
3) Update all locations to be either a nop or call (except breakpoint
op)
4) Sync all cores
5) Remove the breakpoint with the new code.
6) Sync all cores

Added updates that Masami suggested:
Use unlikely(modifying_ftrace_code) in int3 trap to keep kprobes efficient.
Don't use NOTIFY_* in ftrace handler in int3 as it is not a notifier.

Adding support to filter function trace event via perf
interface. It is now possible to use filter interface
in the perf tool like:
perf record -e ftrace:function --filter="(ip == mm_*)" ls
The filter syntax is restricted to the the 'ip' field only,
and following operators are accepted '==' '!=' '||', ending
up with the filter strings like:
ip == f1[, ]f2 ... || ip != f3[, ]f4 ...
with comma ',' or space ' ' as a function separator. If the
space ' ' is used as a separator, the right side of the
assignment needs to be enclosed in double quotes '"', e.g.:
perf record -e ftrace:function --filter '(ip == do_execve,sys_*,ext*)' ls
perf record -e ftrace:function --filter '(ip == "do_execve,sys_*,ext*")' ls
perf record -e ftrace:function --filter '(ip == "do_execve sys_* ext*")' ls
The '==' operator adds trace filter with same effect as would
be added via set_ftrace_filter file.
The '!=' operator adds trace filter with same effect as would
be added via set_ftrace_notrace file.
The right side of the '!=', '==' operators is list of functions
or regexp. to be added to filter separated by space.
The '||' operator is used for connecting multiple filter definitions
together. It is possible to have more than one '==' and '!='
operators within one filter string.

Adding a way to temporarily enable/disable ftrace_ops. The change
follows the same way as 'global' ftrace_ops are done.
Introducing 2 global ftrace_ops - control_ops and ftrace_control_list
which take over all ftrace_ops registered with FTRACE_OPS_FL_CONTROL
flag. In addition new per cpu flag called 'disabled' is also added to
ftrace_ops to provide the control information for each cpu.
When ftrace_ops with FTRACE_OPS_FL_CONTROL is registered, it is
set as disabled for all cpus.
The ftrace_control_list contains all the registered 'control' ftrace_ops.
The control_ops provides function which iterates ftrace_control_list
and does the check for 'disabled' flag on current cpu.
Adding 3 inline functions:
ftrace_function_local_disable/ftrace_function_local_enable
- enable/disable the ftrace_ops on current cpu
ftrace_function_local_disabled
- get disabled ftrace_ops::disabled value for current cpu

Currently the ftrace_set_filter and ftrace_set_notrace functions
do not return any return code. So there's no way for ftrace_ops
user to tell wether the filter was correctly applied.
The set_ftrace_filter interface returns error in case the filter
did not match:
# echo krava > set_ftrace_filter
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
Changing both ftrace_set_filter and ftrace_set_notrace functions
to return zero if the filter was applied correctly or -E* values
in case of error.

As new functions come in to be initalized from mcount to nop,
they are done by groups of pages. Whether it is the core kernel
or a module. There's no need to keep track of these on a per record
basis.
At startup, and as any module is loaded, the functions to be
traced are stored in a group of pages and added to the function
list at the end. We just need to keep a pointer to the first
page of the list that was added, and use that to know where to
start on the list for initializing functions.

Records that are added to the function trace table are
permanently there, except for modules. By separating out the
modules to their own pages that can be freed in one shot
we can remove the "freed" flag and simplify some of the record
management.
Another benefit of doing this is that we can also move the
records around; sort them.

The stop machine method to modify all functions in the kernel
(some 20,000 of them) is the safest way to do so across all archs.
But some archs may not need this big hammer approach to modify code
on SMP machines, and can simply just update the code it needs.
Adding a weak function arch_ftrace_update_code() that now does the
stop machine, will also let any arch override this method.
If the arch needs to check the system and then decide if it can
avoid stop machine, it can still call ftrace_run_stop_machine() to
use the old method.

The <linux/module.h> pretty much brings in the kitchen sink along
with it, so it should be avoided wherever reasonably possible in
terms of being included from other commonly used <linux/something.h>
files, as it results in a measureable increase on compile times.
The worst culprit was probably device.h since it is used everywhere.
This file also had an implicit dependency/usage of mutex.h which was
masked by module.h, and is also fixed here at the same time.
There are over a dozen other headers that simply declare the
struct instead of pulling in the whole file, so follow their lead
and simply make it a few more.
Most of the implicit dependencies on module.h being present by
these headers pulling it in have been now weeded out, so we can
finally make this change with hopefully minimal breakage.

The new code that allows different utilities to pick and choose
what functions they trace broke the :mod: hook that allows users
to trace only functions of a particular module.
The reason is that the :mod: hook bypasses the hash that is setup
to allow individual users to trace their own functions and uses
the global hash directly. But if the global hash has not been
set up, it will cause a bug:
echo '*:mod:radeon' > /sys/kernel/debug/set_ftrace_filter

Since users of the function tracer can now pick and choose which
functions they want to trace agnostically from other users of the
function tracer, we need to pass the ops struct to the ftrace_set_filter()
functions.
The functions ftrace_set_global_filter() and ftrace_set_global_notrace()
is added to keep the old filter functions which are used to modify
the generic function tracers.

Now that functions may be selected individually, it only makes sense
that we should allow dynamically allocated trace structures to
be traced. This will allow perf to allocate a ftrace_ops structure
at runtime and use it to pick and choose which functions that
structure will trace.
Note, a dynamically allocated ftrace_ops will always be called
indirectly instead of being called directly from the mcount in
entry.S. This is because there's no safe way to prevent mcount
from being preempted before calling the function, unless we
modify every entry.S to do so (not likely). Thus, dynamically allocated
functions will now be called by the ftrace_ops_list_func() that
loops through the ops that are allocated if there are more than
one op allocated at a time. This loop is protected with a
preempt_disable.
To determine if an ftrace_ops structure is allocated or not, a new
util function was added to the kernel/extable.c called
core_kernel_data(), which returns 1 if the address is between
_sdata and _edata.

ftrace_ops that are registered to trace functions can now be
agnostic to each other in respect to what functions they trace.
Each ops has their own hash of the functions they want to trace
and a hash to what they do not want to trace. A empty hash for
the functions they want to trace denotes all functions should
be traced that are not in the notrace hash.

Every function has its own record that stores the instruction
pointer and flags for the function to be traced. There are only
two flags: enabled and free. The enabled flag states that tracing
for the function has been enabled (actively traced), and the free
flag states that the record no longer points to a function and can
be used by new functions (loaded modules).
These flags are now moved to the MSB of the flags (actually just
the top 32bits). The rest of the bits (30 bits) are now used as
a ref counter. Everytime a tracer register functions to trace,
those functions will have its counter incremented.
When tracing is enabled, to determine if a function should be traced,
the counter is examined, and if it is non-zero it is set to trace.
When a ftrace_ops is registered to trace functions, its hashes
are examined. If the ftrace_ops filter_hash count is zero, then
all functions are set to be traced, otherwise only the functions
in the hash are to be traced. The exception to this is if a function
is also in the ftrace_ops notrace_hash. Then that function's counter
is not incremented for this ftrace_ops.

Combine the filter and notrace hashes to be accessed by a single entity,
the global_ops. The global_ops is a ftrace_ops structure that is passed
to different functions that can read or modify the filtering of the
function tracer.
The ftrace_ops structure was modified to hold a filter and notrace
hashes so that later patches may allow each ftrace_ops to have its own
set of rules to what functions may be filtered.

When multiple users are allowed to have their own set of functions
to trace, having the FTRACE_FL_FILTER flag will not be enough to
handle the accounting of those users. Each user will need their own
set of functions.
Replace the FTRACE_FL_FILTER with a filter_hash instead. This is
temporary until the rest of the function filtering accounting
gets in.

To prepare for the accounting system that will allow multiple users of
the function tracer, having the FTRACE_FL_NOTRACE as a flag in the
dyn_trace record does not make sense.
All ftrace_ops will soon have a hash of functions they should trace
and not trace. By making a global hash of functions not to trace makes
this easier for the transition.

Since we disable all function tracer processing if we detect
that a modification of a instruction had failed, we do not need
to track that the record has failed. No more ftrace processing
is allowed, and the FTRACE_FL_CONVERTED flag is pointless.
The FTRACE_FL_CONVERTED flag was used to denote records that were
successfully converted from mcount calls into nops. But if a single
record fails, all of ftrace is disabled.

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.

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:

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.

Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in
v2.6.32, but we still have the old and disabled ptrace-BTS,
as Linus noticed it not so long ago.
It's buggy: TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is trampling all over that MSR without
regard for other uses (perf) and doesn't provide the flexibility
needed for perf either.
Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts
was never used and ptrace-block-step can be implemented using a
much simpler approach.
So axe all 3000 lines of it. That includes the *locked_memory*()
APIs in mm/mlock.c as well.
