eef62a6826 tracing: rename DEFINE_TRACE_FMT to just TRACE_FORMAT
There's been a bit confusion to whether DEFINE/DECLARE_TRACE_FMT should
be a DEFINE or a DECLARE. Ingo Molnar suggested simply calling it
TRACE_FORMAT.

d7350c3f45 tracing/core: make the read callbacks reentrants
Now that several per-cpu files can be read or spliced at the
same, we want the read/splice callbacks for tracing files to be
reentrants.

Until now, a single global mutex (trace_types_lock) serialized
the access to tracing_read_pipe(), tracing_splice_read_pipe(),
and the seq helpers.

Ie: it means that if a user tries to read trace_pipe0 and
trace_pipe1 at the same time, the access to the function
tracing_read_pipe() is contended and one reader must wait for
the other to finish its read call.

The trace_type_lock mutex is mostly here to serialize the access
to the global current tracer (current_trace), which can be
changed concurrently. Although the iter struct keeps a private
pointer to this tracer, its callbacks can be changed by another
function.

The method used here is to not keep anymore private reference to
the tracer inside the iterator but to make a copy of it inside
the iterator. Then it checks on subsequents read calls if the
tracer has changed. This is not costly because the current
tracer is not expected to be changed often, so we use a branch
prediction for that.

Moreover, we add a private mutex to the iterator (there is one
iterator per file descriptor) to serialize the accesses in case
of multiple consumers per file descriptor (which would be a
silly idea from the user). Note that this is not to protect the
ring buffer, since the ring buffer already serializes the
readers accesses. This is to prevent from traces weirdness in
case of concurrent consumers. But these mutexes can be dropped
anyway, that would not result in any crash. Just tell me what
you think about it.

b04cc6b1f6 tracing/core: introduce per cpu tracing files
Impact: split up tracing output per cpu

Currently, on the tracing debugfs directory, three files are
available to the user to let him extracting the trace output:

- trace is an iterator through the ring-buffer. It's a reader
  but not a consumer It doesn't block when no more traces are
  available.

- trace pretty similar to the former, except that it adds more
  informations such as prempt count, irq flag, ...

- trace_pipe is a reader and a consumer, it will also block
  waiting for traces if necessary (heh, yes it's a pipe).

The traces coming from different cpus are curretly mixed up
inside these files. Sometimes it messes up the informations,
sometimes it's useful, depending on what does the tracer
capture.

The tracing_cpumask file is useful to filter the output and
select only the traces captured a custom defined set of cpus.
But still it is not enough powerful to extract at the same time
one trace buffer per cpu.

So this patch creates a new directory: /debug/tracing/per_cpu/.

Inside this directory, you will now find one trace_pipe file and
one trace file per cpu.

Which means if you have two cpus, you will have:

 trace0
 trace1
 trace_pipe0
 trace_pipe1

And of course, reading these files will have the same effect
than with the usual tracing files, except that you will only see
the traces from the given cpu.

The original all-in-one cpu trace file are still available on
their original place.

Until now, only one consumer was allowed on trace_pipe to avoid
racy consuming on the ring-buffer. Now the approach changed a
bit, you can have only one consumer per cpu.

Which means you are allowed to read concurrently trace_pipe0 and
trace_pipe1 But you can't have two readers on trace_pipe0 or
trace_pipe1.

Following the same logic, if there is one reader on the common
trace_pipe, you can not have at the same time another reader on
trace_pipe0 or in trace_pipe1. Because in trace_pipe is already
a consumer in all cpu buffers in essence.

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

b77e38aa24 tracing: add event trace infrastructure
This patch creates the event tracing infrastructure of ftrace.
It will create the files:

 /debug/tracing/available_events
 /debug/tracing/set_event

The available_events will list the trace points that have been
registered with the event tracer.

set_events will allow the user to enable or disable an event hook.

example:

 # echo sched_wakeup > /debug/tracing/set_event

Will enable the sched_wakeup event (if it is registered).

 # echo "!sched_wakeup" >> /debug/tracing/set_event

Will disable the sched_wakeup event (and only that event).

 # echo > /debug/tracing/set_event

Will disable all events (notice the '>')

 # cat /debug/tracing/available_events > /debug/tracing/set_event

Will enable all registered event hooks.

403f307576 PM: Fix suspend_console and resume_console to use only one semaphore
This fixes a race where a thread acquires the console while the
console is suspended, and the console is resumed before this
thread releases it. In this case, the secondary console
semaphore would be left locked, and the primary semaphore would
be released twice. This in turn would cause the console switch
on suspend or resume to hang forever.

Note that suspend_console does not actually lock the console
for clients that use acquire_console_sem, it only locks it for
clients that use try_acquire_console_sem. If we change
suspend_console to fully lock the console, then the kernel
may deadlock on suspend. One client of try_acquire_console_sem
is acquire_console_semaphore_for_printk, which uses it to
prevent printk from using the console while it is suspended.

Currently, only a constant function name is allowed so this patch

  echo *name > set_graph_function

- matches all functions that begin with "name":
  echo name* > set_graph_function

- matches all functions that contains "name":
  echo *name* > set_graph_function

echo mutex* > set_graph_function

0c5119c1e6 tracing: disable tracing while testing ring buffer
Impact: fix to prevent hard lockup on self tests

If one of the tracers are broken and is constantly filling the ring
buffer while the test of the ring buffer is running, it will hang
the box. The reason is that the test is a consumer that will not
stop till the ring buffer is empty. But if the tracer is broken and
is constantly producing input to the buffer, this test will never
end. The result is a lockup of the box.

This happened when KALLSYMS was not defined and the dynamic ftrace
test constantly filled the ring buffer, because the filter failed
and all functions were being traced. Something was being called
that constantly filled the buffer.

67e055d144 cgroups: fix possible use after free
In cgroup_kill_sb(), root is freed before sb is detached from the list, so
another sget() may find this sb and call cgroup_test_super(), which will
access the root that has been freed.

712406a6bf tracing/function-graph-tracer: make arch generic push pop functions
There is nothing really arch specific of the push and pop functions
used by the function graph tracer. This patch moves them to generic
code.

6eaaa5d57e tracing/core: use appropriate waiting on trace_pipe
Impact: api and pipe waiting change

Currently, the waiting used in tracing_read_pipe() is done through a
100 msecs schedule_timeout() loop which periodically check if there
are traces on the buffer.

This can cause small latencies for programs which are reading the incoming
events.

This patch makes the reader waiting for the trace_wait waitqueue except
for few tracers such as the sched and functions tracers which might be
already hold the runqueue lock while waking up the reader.

This is performed through a new callback wait_pipe() on struct tracer.
If none is implemented on a specific tracer, the default waiting for
trace_wait queue is attached.

5b058bcde9 tracing/function-graph-tracer: trace the idle tasks
When the function graph tracer is activated, it iterates over the task_list
to allocate a stack to store the return addresses.

But the per cpu idle tasks are not iterated by using
do_each_thread / while_each_thread.

So we have to iterate on them manually.

This fixes somes weirdness in the traces and many losses of traces.
Examples on two cpus:

 0)   Xorg-4287    |   2.906 us    |              }
 0)   Xorg-4287    |   3.965 us    |            }
