Arjan van de Ven e36c886a0f workqueue: Add basic tracepoints to track workqueue execution
With the introduction of the new unified work queue thread pools,
we lost one feature: It's no longer possible to know which worker
is causing the CPU to wake out of idle. The result is that PowerTOP
now reports a lot of "kworker/a:b" instead of more readable results.

This patch adds a pair of tracepoints to the new workqueue code,
similar in style to the timer/hrtimer tracepoints.

With this pair of tracepoints, the next PowerTOP can correctly
report which work item caused the wakeup (and how long it took):

Interrupt (43)            i915      time   3.51ms    wakeups 141
Work      ieee80211_iface_work      time   0.81ms    wakeups  29
Work              do_dbs_timer      time   0.55ms    wakeups  24
Process                   Xorg      time  21.36ms    wakeups   4
Timer    sched_rt_period_timer      time   0.01ms    wakeups   1

Arjan van de Ven ede1b42907 tracing: Fix timer tracing
PowerTOP would like to be able to trace timers.

Unfortunately, the current timer tracing is not very useful: the
actual timer function is not recorded in the trace at the start
of timer execution.

Although this is recorded for timer "start" time (when it gets
armed), this is not useful; most timers get started early, and a
tracer like PowerTOP will never see this event, but will only
see the actual running of the  timer.

This patch just adds the function to the timer tracing; I've
verified with PowerTOP that now it can get useful information
about timers.

Add a trace event for when page reclaim queues a page for IO and records
whether it is synchronous or asynchronous.  Excessive synchronous IO for a
process can result in noticeable stalls during direct reclaim.  Excessive
IO from page reclaim may indicate that the system is seriously under

Artem Bityutskiy 603320239f writeback: add new tracepoints
Add 2 new trace points to the periodic write-back wake up case, just like we do
in the 'bdi_queue_work()' function. Namely, introduce:

1. trace_writeback_wake_thread(bdi)
2. trace_writeback_wake_forker_thread(bdi)

The first event is triggered every time we wake up a bdi thread to start
periodic background write-out. The second event is triggered only when the bdi
thread does not exist and should be created by the forker thread.

This patch was suggested by Dave Chinner and Christoph Hellwig.

Dave Chinner 455b286468 writeback: Initial tracing support
Trace queue/sched/exec parts of the writeback loop. This provides
insight into when and why flusher threads are scheduled to run. e.g
a sync invocation leaves traces like:

     sync-[...]: writeback_queue: bdi 8:0: sb_dev 8:1 nr_pages=7712 sync_mode=0 kupdate=0 range_cyclic=0 background=0
flush-8:0-[...]: writeback_exec: bdi 8:0: sb_dev 8:1 nr_pages=7712 sync_mode=0 kupdate=0 range_cyclic=0 background=0

This also lays the foundation for adding more writeback tracing to
provide deeper insight into the whole writeback path.

The original tracing code is from Jens Axboe, though this version is
a rewrite as a result of the code being traced changing
significantly.

Thomas Renninger 4c21adf26f x86 cpufreq, perf: Make trace_power_frequency cpufreq driver independent
and fix the broken case if a core's frequency depends on others.

trace_power_frequency was only implemented in a rather ungeneric
way in acpi-cpufreq driver's target() function only.

-> Move the call to trace_power_frequency to
   cpufreq.c:cpufreq_notify_transition() where CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE
   notifier is triggered.
   This will support power frequency tracing by all cpufreq
   drivers.

trace_power_frequency did not trace frequency changes correctly
when the userspace governor was used or when CPU cores'
frequency depend on each other.

-> Moving this into the CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notifier and pass the cpu
   which gets switched automatically fixes this.

Robert Schoene provided some important fixes on top of my
initial quick shot version which are integrated in this patch:
- Forgot some changes in power_end trace (TP_printk/variable names)
- Variable dummy in power_end must now be cpu_id
- Use static 64 bit variable instead of unsigned int for cpu_id

__print_flags() and __print_symbolic() use percpu trace_seq:

1) Its memory is allocated at compile time, it wastes memory if we don't use tracing.
2) It is percpu data and it wastes more memory for multi-cpus system.
3) It disables preemption when it executes its core routine
   "trace_seq_printf(s, "%s: ", #call);" and introduces latency.

So we move this trace_seq to struct trace_iterator.

Steven Rostedt a1d0ce8213 tracing: Use class->reg() for all registering of events
Because kprobes and syscalls need special processing to register
events, the class->reg() method was created to handle the differences.

But instead of creating a default ->reg for perf and ftrace events,
the code was scattered with:

	if (class->reg)
		class->reg();
	else
		default_reg();

This is messy and can also lead to bugs.

This patch cleans up this code and creates a default reg() entry for
the events allowing for the code to directly call the class->reg()
without the condition.

Dave Chinner 0b5649278e writeback: pay attention to wbc->nr_to_write in write_cache_pages
If a filesystem writes more than one page in ->writepage, write_cache_pages
fails to notice this and continues to attempt writeback when wbc->nr_to_write
has gone negative - this trace was captured from XFS:

    wbc_writeback_start: towrt=1024
    wbc_writepage: towrt=1024
    wbc_writepage: towrt=0
    wbc_writepage: towrt=-1
    wbc_writepage: towrt=-5
    wbc_writepage: towrt=-21
    wbc_writepage: towrt=-85

This has adverse effects on filesystem writeback behaviour. write_cache_pages()
needs to terminate after a certain number of pages are written, not after a
certain number of calls to ->writepage are made.  This is a regression
introduced by 17bc6c30cf ("vfs: Add
no_nrwrite_index_update writeback control flag"), but cannot be reverted
directly due to subsequent bug fixes that have gone in on top of it.

Oleg Nesterov b9b76dfaac tracing: Fix null pointer deref with SEND_SIG_FORCED

	0000000000000006
IP: [<ffffffff8107bd37>] ftrace_raw_event_signal_generate+0x87/0x140

TP_STORE_SIGINFO() forgets about SEND_SIG_FORCED, fix.

We should probably export is_si_special() and change TP_STORE_SIGINFO()
to use it in the longer term.

Américo Wang 30dbb20e68 tracing: Remove boot tracer
The boot tracer is useless. It simply logs the initcalls
but in fact these initcalls are also logged through printk
while using the initcall_debug kernel parameter.

Nobody seem to be using it so far. Then just remove it.

Frederic Weisbecker b0f82b81fe perf: Drop the skip argument from perf_arch_fetch_regs_caller
Drop this argument now that we always want to rewind only to the
state of the first caller.
It means frame pointers are not necessary anymore to reliably get
the source of an event. But this also means we need this helper
to be a macro now, as an inline function is not an option since
we need to know when to provide a default implentation.

Peter Zijlstra 02f726949f sched, trace: Fix sched_switch() prev_state argument
For CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels the sched_switch(.prev_state) argument isn't
useful because we can get preempted with current->state != TASK_RUNNING
without actually getting removed from the runqueue.

Cure this by treating all preempted tasks as runnable from the tracer's
point of view.

Steven Rostedt 49c177461b tracing: Add __used annotation to event variable
The TRACE_EVENT() macros automate creation of trace events. To automate
initialization, the set up variables are loaded in a special section
that is read on boot up. GCC is not aware that these static variables
are used and will complain about them if we do not inform GCC that
they are indeed used.

One of the declarations of the event element was missing a __used
annotation. This patch adds it.
