王贇 ce5e48036c ftrace: disable preemption when recursion locked
As the documentation explained, ftrace_test_recursion_trylock()
and ftrace_test_recursion_unlock() were supposed to disable and
enable preemption properly, however currently this work is done
outside of the function, which could be missing by mistake.

And since the internal using of trace_test_and_set_recursion()
and trace_clear_recursion() also require preemption disabled, we
can just merge the logical.

This patch will make sure the preemption has been disabled when
trace_test_and_set_recursion() return bit >= 0, and
trace_clear_recursion() will enable the preemption if previously
enabled.

Yordan Karadzhov (VMware) 22db095d57 tracing: Add "func_no_repeats" option for function tracing
If the option is activated the function tracing record gets
consolidated in the cases when a single function is called number
of times consecutively. Instead of having an identical record for
each call of the function we will record only the first call
following by event showing the number of repeats.

Yordan Karadzhov (VMware) 4994891ebb tracing: Unify the logic for function tracing options
Currently the logic for dealing with the options for function tracing
has two different implementations. One is used when we set the flags
(in "static int func_set_flag()") and another used when we initialize
the tracer (in "static int function_trace_init()"). Those two
implementations are meant to do essentially the same thing and they
are both not very convenient for adding new options. In this patch
we add a helper function that provides a single implementation of
the logic for dealing with the options and we make it such that new
options can be easily added.

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior 36590c50b2 tracing: Merge irqflags + preempt counter.
The state of the interrupts (irqflags) and the preemption counter are
both passed down to tracing_generic_entry_update(). Only one bit of
irqflags is actually required: The on/off state. The complete 32bit
of the preemption counter isn't needed. Just whether of the upper bits
(softirq, hardirq and NMI) are set and the preemption depth is needed.

The irqflags and the preemption counter could be evaluated early and the
information stored in an integer `trace_ctx'.
tracing_generic_entry_update() would use the upper bits as the
TRACE_FLAG_* and the lower 8bit as the disabled-preemption depth
(considering that one must be substracted from the counter in one
special cases).

The actual preemption value is not used except for the tracing record.
The `irqflags' variable is mostly used only for the tracing record. An
exception here is for instance wakeup_tracer_call() or
probe_wakeup_sched_switch() which explicilty disable interrupts and use
that `irqflags' to save (and restore) the IRQ state and to record the
state.

Struct trace_event_buffer has also the `pc' and flags' members which can
be replaced with `trace_ctx' since their actual value is not used
outside of trace recording.

This will reduce tracing_generic_entry_update() to simply assign values
to struct trace_entry. The evaluation of the TRACE_FLAG_* bits is moved
to _tracing_gen_ctx_flags() which replaces preempt_count() and
local_save_flags() invocations.

As an example, ftrace_syscall_enter() may invoke:
- trace_buffer_lock_reserve() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update()
- event_trigger_unlock_commit()
  -> ftrace_trace_stack() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update()
  -> ftrace_trace_userstack() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update()

In this case the TRACE_FLAG_* bits were evaluated three times. By using
the `trace_ctx' they are evaluated once and assigned three times.

A build with all tracers enabled on x86-64 with and without the patch:

Steven Rostedt (VMware) d19ad0775d ftrace: Have the callbacks receive a struct ftrace_regs instead of pt_regs
In preparation to have arguments of a function passed to callbacks attached
to functions as default, change the default callback prototype to receive a
struct ftrace_regs as the forth parameter instead of a pt_regs.

For callbacks that set the FL_SAVE_REGS flag in their ftrace_ops flags, they
will now need to get the pt_regs via a ftrace_get_regs() helper call. If
this is called by a callback that their ftrace_ops did not have a
FL_SAVE_REGS flag set, it that helper function will return NULL.

This will allow the ftrace_regs to hold enough just to get the parameters
and stack pointer, but without the worry that callbacks may have a pt_regs
that is not completely filled.

Greg Kroah-Hartman b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

it triggered a crash.

This happened with the clean up of probes. It required all callers to the
regex function (doing ftrace filtering) to have ops->private be a pointer to
a trace_array. But for the stack tracer, that is not the case.

Allow for the ops->private to be NULL, and change the function command

Steven Rostedt (VMware) 6e4443199e tracing/ftrace: Add a better way to pass data via the probe functions
With the redesign of the registration and execution of the function probes
(triggers), data can now be passed from the setup of the probe to the probe
callers that are specific to the trace_array it is on. Although, all probes
still only affect the toplevel trace array, this change will allow for
instances to have their own probes separated from other instances and the
top array.

That is, something like the stacktrace probe can be set to trace only in an
instance and not the toplevel trace array. This isn't implement yet, but
this change sets the ground work for the change.

When a probe callback is triggered (someone writes the probe format into
set_ftrace_filter), it calls register_ftrace_function_probe() passing in
init_data that will be used to initialize the probe. Then for every matching
function, register_ftrace_function_probe() will call the probe_ops->init()
function with the init data that was passed to it, as well as an address to
a place holder that is associated with the probe and the instance. The first
occurrence will have a NULL in the pointer. The init() function will then
initialize it. If other probes are added, or more functions are part of the
probe, the place holder will be passed to the init() function with the place
holder data that it was initialized to the last time.

Then this place_holder is passed to each of the other probe_ops functions,
where it can be used in the function callback. When the probe_ops free()
function is called, it can be called either with the rip of the function
that is being removed from the probe, or zero, indicating that there are no
more functions attached to the probe, and the place holder is about to be
freed. This gives the probe_ops a way to free the data it assigned to the
place holder if it was allocade during the first init call.

Steven Rostedt (VMware) 7b60f3d876 ftrace: Dynamically create the probe ftrace_ops for the trace_array
In order to eventually have each trace_array instance have its own unique
set of function probes (triggers), the trace array needs to hold the ops and
the filters for the probes.

This is the first step to accomplish this. Instead of having the private
data of the probe ops point to the trace_array, create a separate list that
the trace_array holds. There's only one private_data for a probe, we need
one per trace_array. The probe ftrace_ops will be dynamically created for
each instance, instead of being static.

Chunyu Hu d39cdd2036 tracing: Make tracer_flags use the right set_flag callback
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 argument

check dmesg:
[ 1024.903855] nop_test_refuse flag set to 0: we refuse.Now cat trace_options to see the result

The 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.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) a9ce7c36aa tracing: Fix race of function probes counting
The function probe counting for traceon and traceoff suffered a race
condition where if the probe was executing on two or more CPUs at the
same time, it could decrement the counter by more than one when
disabling (or enabling) the tracer only once.

The way the traceon and traceoff probes are suppose to work is that
they disable (or enable) tracing once per count. If a user were to
echo 'schedule:traceoff:3' into set_ftrace_filter, then when the
schedule function was called, it would disable tracing. But the count
should only be decremented once (to 2). Then if the user enabled tracing
again (via tracing_on file), the next call to schedule would disable
tracing again and the count would be decremented to 1.

But if multiple CPUS called schedule at the same time, it is possible
that the count would be decremented more than once because of the
simple "count--" used.

By reading the count into a local variable and using memory barriers
we can guarantee that the count would only be decremented once per
disable (or enable).

The stack trace probe had a similar race, but here the stack trace will
decrement for each time it is called. But this had the read-modify-
write race, where it could stack trace more than the number of times
that was specified. This case we use a cmpxchg to stack trace only the
number of times specified.

The dump probes can still use the old "update_count()" function as
they only run once, and that is controlled by the dump logic
itself.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 5d6c97c559 tracing: Do not try to recreated toplevel set_ftrace_* files
With the restructing of the function tracer working with instances, the
"top level" buffer is a bit special, as the function tracing is mapped
to the same set of filters. This is done by using a "global_ops" descriptor
and having the "set_ftrace_filter" and "set_ftrace_notrace" map to it.

When an instance is created, it creates the same files but its for the
local instance and not the global_ops.

The issues is that the local instance creation shares some code with
the global instance one and we end up trying to create th top level
"set_ftrace_*" files twice, and on boot up, we get an error like this:

 Could not create debugfs 'set_ftrace_filter' entry
 Could not create debugfs 'set_ftrace_notrace' entry

The reason they failed to be created was because they were created
twice, and the second time gives this error as you can not create the
same file twice.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 12883efb67 tracing: Consolidate max_tr into main trace_array structure
Currently, the way the latency tracers and snapshot feature works
is to have a separate trace_array called "max_tr" that holds the
snapshot buffer. For latency tracers, this snapshot buffer is used
to swap the running buffer with this buffer to save the current max
latency.

The only items needed for the max_tr is really just a copy of the buffer
itself, the per_cpu data pointers, the time_start timestamp that states
when the max latency was triggered, and the cpu that the max latency
was triggered on. All other fields in trace_array are unused by the
max_tr, making the max_tr mostly bloat.

This change removes the max_tr completely, and adds a new structure
called trace_buffer, that holds the buffer pointer, the per_cpu data
pointers, the time_start timestamp, and the cpu where the latency occurred.

The trace_array, now has two trace_buffers, one for the normal trace and
one for the max trace or snapshot. By doing this, not only do we remove
the bloat from the max_trace but the instances of traces can now use
their own snapshot feature and not have just the top level global_trace have
the snapshot feature and latency tracers for itself.

Steven Rostedt 897f68a48b ftrace: Use only the preempt version of function tracing
The function tracer had two different versions of function tracing.

The disabling of irqs version and the preempt disable version.

As function tracing in very intrusive and can cause nasty recursion
issues, it has its own recursion protection. But the old method to
do this was a flat layer. If it detected that a recursion was happening
then it would just return without recording.

This made the preempt version (much faster than the irq disabling one)
not very useful, because if an interrupt were to occur after the
recursion flag was set, the interrupt would not be traced at all,
because every function that was traced would think it recursed on
itself (due to the context it preempted setting the recursive flag).

Now that we have a recursion flag for every context level, we
no longer need to worry about that. We can disable preemption,
set the current context recursion check bit, and go on. If an
interrupt were to come along, it would check its own context bit
and happily continue to trace.

As the preempt version is faster than the irq disable version,
there's no more reason to keep the preempt version around.
And the irq disable version still had an issue with missing
out on tracing NMI code.

Remove the irq disable function tracer version and have the
preempt disable version be the default (and only version).

Before this patch we had from running:

 # echo function > /debug/tracing/current_tracer
 # for i in `seq 10`; do ./hackbench 50; done
Time: 12.028
