Knowing the number of event entries in the ring buffer compared
to the total number that were written is useful information. The
latency format gives this information and there's no reason that the
default format does not.This information is now added to the default header, along with the

People keep asking how to get the preempt count, irq, and need resched info
and we keep telling them to enable the latency format. Some developers think
that traces without this info is completely useless, and for a lot of tasks
it is useless.The first option was to enable the latency trace as the default format, but
the header for the latency format is pretty useless for most tracers and
it also does the timestamp in straight microseconds from the time the trace
started. This is sometimes more difficult to read as the default trace is
seconds from the start of boot up.Latency format:

The system filter can be used to set multiple event filters that
exist within the system. But currently it displays the last filter
written that does not necessarily correspond to the filters within
the system. The system filter itself is not used to filter any events.
The system filter is just a means to set filters of the events within
it.Because this causes an ambiguous state when the system filter reads
a filter string but the events within the system have different strings
it is best to just show a boiler plate:### global filter ###
# Use this to set filters for multiple events.
# Only events with the given fields will be affected.
# If no events are modified, an error message will be displayed here.If an error occurs while writing to the system filter, the system
filter will replace the boiler plate with the error message as it
currently does.Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

The trace_pipe_raw handler holds a cached page from the time the file
is opened to the time it is closed. The cached page is used to handle
the case of the user space buffer being smaller than what was read from
the ring buffer. The left over buffer is held in the cache so that the
next read will continue where the data left off.After EOF is returned (no more data in the buffer), the index of
the cached page is set to zero. If a user app reads the page again
after EOF, the check in the buffer will see that the cached page
is less than page size and will return the cached page again. This
will cause reading the trace_pipe_raw again after EOF to return
duplicate data, making the output look like the time went backwards
but instead data is just repeated.The fix is to not reset the index right after all data is read
from the cache, but to reset it after all data is read and more
data exists in the ring buffer.Cc: stable

When doing intense tracing, the kmalloc inside trace_marker can
introduce side effects to what is being traced.As trace_marker() is used by userspace to inject data into the
kernel ring buffer, it needs to do so with the least amount
of intrusion to the operations of the kernel or the user space
application.As the ring buffer is designed to write directly into the buffer
without the need to make a temporary buffer, and userspace already
went through the hassle of knowing how big the write will be,
we can simply pin the userspace pages and write the data directly
into the buffer. This improves the impact of tracing via trace_marker
tremendously!Thanks to Peter Zijlstra and Thomas Gleixner for pointing out the
use of get_user_pages_fast() and kmap_atomic().Suggested-by: Thomas Gleixner

As the function tracer is very intrusive, lots of self checks are
performed on the tracer and if something is found to be strange
it will shut itself down keeping it from corrupting the rest of the
kernel. This shutdown may still allow functions to be traced, as the
tracing only stops new modifications from happening. Trying to stop
the function tracer itself can cause more harm as it requires code
modification.Although a WARN_ON() is executed, a user may not notice it. To help
the user see that something isn't right with the tracing of the system
a big warning is added to the output of the tracer that lets the user
know that their data may be incomplete.Reported-by: Thomas Gleixner

When debugging tight race conditions, it can be helpful to have a
synchronized tracing method. Although in most cases the global clock
provides this functionality, if timings is not the issue, it is more
comforting to know that the order of events really happened in a precise
order.Instead of using a clock, add a "counter" that is simply an incrementing
atomic 64bit counter that orders the events as they are perceived to
happen.The trace_clock_counter() is added from the attempt by Peter Zijlstra
trying to convert the trace_clock_global() to it. I took Peter's counter
code and made trace_clock_counter() instead, and added it to the choice
of clocks. Just echo counter > /debug/tracing/trace_clock to activate
it.Requested-by: Thomas Gleixner

The tracing locks can be taken in atomic context and therefore
cannot be preempted on -rt - annotate it.In mainline this change documents the low level nature of
the lock - otherwise there's no functional difference. Lockdep
and Sparse checking will work as usual.Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

The stats file under per_cpu folder provides the number of entries,
overruns and other statistics about the CPU ring buffer. However, the
numbers do not provide any indication of how full the ring buffer is in
bytes compared to the overall size in bytes. Also, it is helpful to know
the rate at which the cpu buffer is filling up.This patch adds an entry "bytes: " in printed stats for per_cpu ring
buffer which provides the actual bytes consumed in the ring buffer. This
field includes the number of bytes used by recorded events and the
padding bytes added when moving the tail pointer to next page.It also adds the following time stamps:
"oldest event ts:" - the oldest timestamp in the ring buffer
"now ts:" - the timestamp at the time of readingThe field "now ts" provides a consistent time snapshot to the userspace
when being read. This is read from the same trace clock used by tracing
event timestamps.Together, these values provide the rate at which the buffer is filling
up, from the formula:
bytes / (now_ts - oldest_event_ts)Signed-off-by: Vaibhav Nagarnaik

The current file "buffer_size_kb" reports the size of per-cpu buffer and
not the overall memory allocated which could be misleading. A new file
"buffer_total_size_kb" adds up all the enabled CPU buffer sizes and
reports it. This is only a readonly entry.Signed-off-by: Vaibhav Nagarnaik

The self testing for event filters does not really need preemption
disabled as there are no races at the time of testing, but the functions
it calls uses rcu_dereference_sched() which will complain if preemption
is not disabled.Cc: Jiri Olsa

Adding automated tests running as late_initcall. Tests are
compiled in with CONFIG_FTRACE_STARTUP_TEST option.Adding test event "ftrace_test_filter" used to simulate
filter processing during event occurance.String filters are compiled and tested against several
test events with different values.Also testing that evaluation of explicit predicates is ommited
due to the lazy filter evaluation.Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa
