KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler.
This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the
number of unique stack traces needed to be stored.Move the definition of __irq_entry to so that the
users don't need to pull in . Also introduce the
__softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the
corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.Signed-off-by: Alexander Potapenko

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"Nothing major this round. Mostly small clean ups and fixes.Some visible changes:
- A new flag was added to distinguish traces done in NMI context.
- Preempt tracer now shows functions where preemption is disabled but
interrupts are still enabled.Other notes:
- Updates were done to function tracing to allow better performance
with perf.- Infrastructure code has been added to allow for a new histogram
feature for recording live trace event histograms that can be
configured by simple user commands. The feature itself was just
finished, but needs a round in linux-next before being pulled.This only includes some infrastructure changes that will be needed"

The latency tracer format has a nice column to indicate IRQ state, but
this is not able to tell us about NMI state.When tracing perf interrupt handlers (which often run in NMI context)
it is very useful to see how the events nest.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160318153022.105068893@infradead.org

The trace_printk() code will allocate extra buffers if the compile detects
that a trace_printk() is used. To do this, the format of the trace_printk()
is saved to the __trace_printk_fmt section, and if that section is bigger
than zero, the buffers are allocated (along with a message that this has
happened).If trace_printk() uses a format that is not a constant, and thus something
not guaranteed to be around when the print happens, the compiler optimizes
the fmt out, as it is not used, and the __trace_printk_fmt section is not
filled. This means the kernel will not allocate the special buffers needed
for the trace_printk() and the trace_printk() will not write anything to the
tracing buffer.Adding a "__used" to the variable in the __trace_printk_fmt section will
keep it around, even though it is set to NULL. This will keep the string
from being printed in the debugfs/tracing/printk_formats section as it is
not needed.Reported-by: Vlastimil Babka

There is no reason to do it twice: from commit b6f11df26fdc28
("trace: Call tracing_reset_online_cpus before tracer->init()")
resetting of per-CPU buffers done before tracer->init() call.tracer->init() calls {irqs,preempt,preemptirqs}off_tracer_init() and it
calls __irqsoff_tracer_init(), which resets per-CPU ringbuffer second

Joel Fernandes reported that the function tracing of preempt disabled
sections was not being reported when running either the preemptirqsoff or
preemptoff tracers. This was due to the fact that the function tracer
callback for those tracers checked if irqs were disabled before tracing. But
this fails when we want to trace preempt off locations as well.Joel explained that he wanted to see funcitons where interrupts are enabled
but preemption was disabled. The expected output he wanted:-2265 1d.h1 3419us : preempt_count_sub -2265 1d..1 3419us : __do_softirq -2265 1d..1 3419us : msecs_to_jiffies -2265 1d..1 3420us : irqtime_account_irq -2265 1d..1 3420us : __local_bh_disable_ip -2265 1..s1 3421us : run_timer_softirq -2265 1..s1 3421us : hrtimer_run_pending -2265 1..s1 3421us : _raw_spin_lock_irq -2265 1d.s1 3422us : preempt_count_add -2265 1d.s2 3422us : _raw_spin_unlock_irq -2265 1..s2 3422us : preempt_count_sub -2265 1..s1 3423us : rcu_bh_qs -2265 1d.s1 3423us : irqtime_account_irq -2265 1d.s1 3423us : __local_bh_enable

Currently dynamic ftrace calls are updated any time
the ftrace_ops is un/registered. If we do this update
only when it's needed, we save lot of time for perf
system wide ftrace function sampling/counting.The reason is that for system wide sampling/counting,
perf creates event for each cpu in the system.Each event then registers separate copy of ftrace_ops,
which ends up in FTRACE_UPDATE_CALLS updates. On servers
with many cpus that means serious stall (240 cpus server):Counting:

sys 2m29.494sThere's no reason to do the FTRACE_UPDATE_CALLS update
for each event in perf case, because all the ftrace_ops
always share the same filter, so the updated calls are
always the same.It's required that only first ftrace_ops registration
does the FTRACE_UPDATE_CALLS update (also sometimes
the second if the first one used the trampoline), but
the rest can be only cheaply linked into the ftrace_ops
list.Counting:

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This time the majority of changes go into cpufreq and they are
significant.First off, the way CPU frequency updates are triggered is different
now. Instead of having to set up and manage a deferrable timer for
each CPU in the system to evaluate and possibly change its frequency
periodically, cpufreq governors set up callbacks to be invoked by the
scheduler on a regular basis (basically on utilization updates). The
"old" governors, "ondemand" and "conservative", still do all of their
work in process context (although that is triggered by the scheduler
now), but intel_pstate does it all in the callback invoked by the
scheduler with no need for any additional asynchronous processing.Of course, this eliminates the overhead related to the management of
all those timers, but also it allows the cpufreq governor code to be
simplified quite a bit. On top of that, the common code and data
structures used by the "ondemand" and "conservative" governors are
cleaned up and made more straightforward and some long-standing and
quite annoying problems are addressed. In particular, the handling of
governor sysfs attributes is modified and the related locking becomes
more fine grained which allows some concurrency problems to be avoided
(particularly deadlocks with the core cpufreq code).In principle, the new mechanism for triggering frequency updates
allows utilization information to be passed from the scheduler to
cpufreq. Although the current code doesn't make use of it, in the
works is a new cpufreq governor that will make decisions based on the
scheduler's utilization data. That should allow the scheduler and
cpufreq to work more closely together in the long run.In addition to the core and governor changes, cpufreq drivers are
updated too. Fixes and optimizations go into intel_pstate, the
cpufreq-dt driver is updated on top of some modification in the
Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework and there are fixes and
other updates in the powernv cpufreq driver.Apart from the cpufreq updates there is some new ACPICA material,
including a fix for a problem introduced by previous ACPICA updates,
and some less significant changes in the ACPI code, like CPPC code
optimizations, ACPI processor driver cleanups and support for loading
ACPI tables from initrd.Also updated are the generic power domains framework, the Intel RAPL
power capping driver and the turbostat utility and we have a bunch of
traditional assorted fixes and cleanups.Specifics:
- Redesign of cpufreq governors and the intel_pstate driver to make
them use callbacks invoked by the scheduler to trigger CPU
frequency evaluation instead of using per-CPU deferrable timers for
that purpose (Rafael Wysocki).- Reorganization and cleanup of cpufreq governor code to make it more
straightforward and fix some concurrency problems in it (Rafael
Wysocki, Viresh Kumar).- Cleanup and improvements of locking in the cpufreq core (Viresh
Kumar).- Assorted cleanups in the cpufreq core (Rafael Wysocki, Viresh

cleanup problems in it and correct its worker thread handling with
respect to CPU offline, new powernv_throttle tracepoint (Shilpasri
Bhat).- ACPI cpufreq driver optimization and cleanup (Rafael Wysocki).
- ACPICA updates including one fix for a regression introduced by
previos changes in the ACPICA code (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, David Box,
Colin Ian King).- Support for installing ACPI tables from initrd (Lv Zheng).
- Optimizations of the ACPI CPPC code (Prashanth Prakash, Ashwin
Chaugule).- Support for _HID(ACPI0010) devices (ACPI processor containers) and
ACPI processor driver cleanups (Sudeep Holla).- Support for ACPI-based enumeration of the AMBA bus (Graeme Gregory,
Aleksey Makarov).- Modification of the ACPI PCI IRQ management code to make it treat
255 in the Interrupt Line register as "not connected" on x86 (as
per the specification) and avoid attempts to use that value as a
valid interrupt vector (Chen Fan).- ACPI APEI fixes related to resource leaks (Josh Hunt).
- Removal of modularity from a few ACPI drivers (BGRT, GHES,
intel_pmic_crc) that cannot be built as modules in practice (Paul
Gortmaker).- PNP framework update to make it treat ACPI_RESOURCE_TYPE_SERIAL_BUS
as a valid resource type (Harb Abdulhamid).- New device ID (future AMD I2C controller) in the ACPI driver for

There are lots of perf tooling updates as well. A few highlights:
perf report/top:
- Hierarchy histogram mode for 'perf top' and 'perf report',
showing multiple levels, one per --sort entry: (Namhyung Kim)On a mostly idle system:
# perf top --hierarchy -s comm,dso
Then expand some levels and use 'P' to take a snapshot:
# cat perf.hist.0
- 92.32% perf
58.20% perf
22.29% libc-2.22.so
5.97% [kernel]
4.18% libelf-0.165.so
1.69% [unknown]
- 4.71% qemu-system-x86
3.10% [kernel]
1.60% qemu-system-x86_64 (deleted)
+ 2.97% swapper
#- Add 'L' hotkey to dynamicly set the percent threshold for
histogram entries and callchains, i.e. dynamicly do what the
--percent-limit command line option to 'top' and 'report' does.
(Namhyung Kim)perf mem:
- Allow specifying events via -e in 'perf mem record', also listing
what events can be specified via 'perf mem record -e list' (Jiri
Olsa)perf record:
- Add 'perf record' --all-user/--all-kernel options, so that one
can tell that all the events in the command line should be
restricted to the user or kernel levels (Jiri Olsa), i.e.:perf record -e cycles:u,instructions:u
is equivalent to:
perf record --all-user -e cycles,instructions
- Make 'perf record' collect CPU cache info in the perf.data file header:
$ perf record usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.017 MB perf.data (7 samples) ]
$ perf report --header-only -I | tail -10 | head -8
# CPU cache info:
# L1 Data 32K [0-1]
# L1 Instruction 32K [0-1]
# L1 Data 32K [2-3]
# L1 Instruction 32K [2-3]
# L2 Unified 256K [0-1]
# L2 Unified 256K [2-3]
# L3 Unified 4096K [0-3]Will be used in 'perf c2c' and eventually in 'perf diff' to
allow, for instance running the same workload in multiple
machines and then when using 'diff' show the hardware difference.
(Jiri Olsa)- Improved support for Java, using the JVMTI agent library to do
jitdumps that then will be inserted in synthesized
PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 events via 'perf inject' pointed to synthesized
ELF files stored in ~/.debug and keyed with build-ids, to allow
symbol resolution and even annotation with source line info, see
the changeset comments to see how to use it (Stephane Eranian)perf script/trace:
- Decode data_src values (e.g. perf.data files generated by 'perf
mem record') in 'perf script': (Jiri Olsa)# perf script
perf 693 [1] 4.088652: 1 cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: ffff88007d0b0f40 68100142 L1 hit|SNP None|TLB L1 or L2 hit|LCK No
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Improve support to 'data_src', 'weight' and 'addr' fields in
'perf script' (Jiri Olsa)- Handle empty print fmts in 'perf script -s' i.e. when running
python or perl scripts (Taeung Song)perf stat:
- 'perf stat' now shows shadow metrics (insn per cycle, etc) in
interval mode too. E.g:# perf stat -I 1000 -e instructions,cycles sleep 1
# time counts unit events
1.000215928 519,620 instructions # 0.69 insn per cycle
1.000215928 752,003 cycles
- Port 'perf kvm stat' to PowerPC (Hemant Kumar)
- Implement CSV metrics output in 'perf stat' (Andi Kleen)
perf BPF support:
- Support converting data from bpf events in 'perf data' (Wang Nan)
- Print bpf-output events in 'perf script': (Wang Nan).

if kprobe is placed within update or delete hash map helpers
that hold bucket spin lock and triggered bpf program is trying to
grab the spinlock for the same bucket on the same cpu, it will
deadlock.
Fix it by extending existing recursion prevention mechanism.Note, map_lookup and other tracing helpers don't have this problem,

Add a new needs_rec flag for triggers that require unconditional

only if it has a filter associated with it (since filters need the

When I was updating the ftrace_stress test of ltp. I encountered
a strange phenomemon, excute following steps:echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/options/funcgraph-cpu
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argumentcheck dmesg:
[ 1024.903855] nop_test_refuse flag set to 0: we refuse.Now cat trace_options to see the resultThe reason is that the trace option test will randomly setup trace
option under tracing/options no matter what the current_tracer is.
but the set_tracer_option is always using the set_flag callback
from the current_tracer. This patch adds a pointer to tracer_flags
and make it point to the tracer it belongs to. When the option is
setup, the set_flag of the right tracer will be used no matter
what the the current_tracer is.And the old dummy_tracer_flags is used for all the tracers which
doesn't have a tracer_flags, having issue to use it to save the
pointer of a tracer. So remove it and use dynamic dummy tracer_flags
for tracers needing a dummy tracer_flags, as a result, there are no
tracers sharing tracer_flags, so remove the check code.And save the current tracer to trace_option_dentry seems not good as
it may waste mem space when mount the debug/trace fs more than one time.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1457444222-8654-1-git-send-email-chuhu@redhat.com

Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
"A feature was added in 4.3 that allowed users to filter trace points
on a tasks "comm" field. But this prevented filtering on a comm field
that is within a trace event (like sched_migrate_task).When trying to filter on when a program migrated, this change
prevented the filtering of the sched_migrate_task.To fix this, the event fields are examined first, and then the extra
fields like "comm" and "cpu" are examined. Also, instead of testing
to assign the comm filter function based on the field's name, the
generic comm field is given a new filter type (FILTER_COMM). When
this field is used to filter the type is checked. The same is done
for the cpu filter field.Two new special filter types are added: "COMM" and "CPU". This allows
users to still filter the tasks comm for events that have "comm" as
one of their fields, in cases that users would like to filter
sched_migrate_task on the comm of the task that called the event, and
not the comm of the task that is being migrated"* tag 'trace-fixes-v4.5-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
tracing: Do not have 'comm' filter override event 'comm' field

Commit 9f61668073a8d "tracing: Allow triggers to filter for CPU ids and
process names" added a 'comm' filter that will filter events based on the
current tasks struct 'comm'. But this now hides the ability to filter events
that have a 'comm' field too. For example, sched_migrate_task trace event.
That has a 'comm' field of the task to be migrated.echo 'comm == "bash"' > events/sched_migrate_task/filter
will now filter all sched_migrate_task events for tasks named "bash" that
migrates other tasks (in interrupt context), instead of seeing when "bash"
itself gets migrated.This fix requires a couple of changes.
1) Change the look up order for filter predicates to look at the events
fields before looking at the generic filters.2) Instead of basing the filter function off of the "comm" name, have the
generic "comm" filter have its own filter_type (FILTER_COMM). Test
against the type instead of the name to assign the filter function.3) Add a new "COMM" filter that works just like "comm" but will filter based
on the current task, even if the trace event contains a "comm" field.Do the same for "cpu" field, adding a FILTER_CPU and a filter "CPU".

"Another small bug reported to me by Chunyu Hu.When perf added a "reg" function to the function tracing event (not a
tracepoint), it caused that event to be displayed as a tracepoint and
could cause errors in tracepoint handling. That was solved by adding
a flag to ignore ftrace non-tracepoint events. But that flag was
missed when displaying events in available_events, which should only
contain tracepoint events.This broke a documented way to enable all events with:
cat available_events > set_event
As the function non-tracepoint event would cause that to error out.
The commit here fixes that by having the available_events file not
list events that have the ignore flag set"* tag 'trace-fixes-v4.5-rc5-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:

24 Feb, 2016

The ftrace:function event is only displayed for parsing the function tracer
data. It is not used to enable function tracing, and does not include an
"enable" file in its event directory.Originally, this event was kept separate from other events because it did
not have a ->reg parameter. But perf added a "reg" parameter for its use
which caused issues, because it made the event available to functions where
it was not compatible for.Commit 9b63776fa3ca9 "tracing: Do not enable function event with enable"
added a TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE flag that prevented the function event
from being enabled by normal trace events. But this commit missed keeping
the function event from being displayed by the "available_events" directory,
which is used to show what events can be enabled by set_event.One documented way to enable all events is to:
cat available_events > set_event
But because the function event is displayed in the available_events, this
now causes an INVALID error:cat: write error: Invalid argument

Remove the ftrace module notifier in favor of directly calling
ftrace_module_enable() and ftrace_release_mod() in the module loader.
Hard-coding the function calls directly in the module loader removes
dependence on the module notifier call chain and provides better
visibility and control over what gets called when, which is important
to kernel utilities such as livepatch.This fixes a notifier ordering issue in which the ftrace module notifier
(and hence ftrace_module_enable()) for coming modules was being called
after klp_module_notify(), which caused livepatch modules to initialize
incorrectly. This patch removes dependence on the module notifier call
chain in favor of hard coding the corresponding function calls in the
module loader. This ensures that ftrace and livepatch code get called in
the correct order on patch module load and unload.Fixes: 5156dca34a3e ("ftrace: Fix the race between ftrace and insmod")
