Handle the TRACE_PRINT entries from the function grapg tracer and output them as a C comment just below the function that called it, as if it was a comment inside this function. Example with an ftrace_printk inside might_sleep() function: void __might_sleep(char *file, int line) { static unsigned long prev_jiffy; /* ratelimiting */ ftrace_printk("Hi I'm a comment in might_sleep() :-)"); A chunk of a resulting trace: 0) | _reiserfs_free_block() { 0) | reiserfs_read_bitmap_block() { 0) | __bread() { 0) | __getblk() { 0) | __find_get_block() { 0) 0.698 us | mark_page_accessed(); 0) 2.267 us | } 0) | __might_sleep() { 0) | /* Hi I'm a comment in might_sleep() :-) */ 0) 1.321 us | } 0) 5.872 us | } 0) 7.313 us | } 0) 8.718 us | } And this patch brings two minor fixes: - The newline after a switch-out task has disappeared - The "|" sign just before the cpu number on task-switch has been deleted. 0) 0.616 us | pick_next_task_rt(); 0) 1.457 us | _spin_trylock(); 0) 0.653 us | _spin_unlock(); 0) 0.728 us | _spin_trylock(); 0) 0.631 us | _spin_unlock(); 0) 0.729 us | native_load_sp0(); 0) 0.593 us | native_load_tls(); ------------------------------------------ 0) cat-2834 => migrati-3 ------------------------------------------ 0) | finish_task_switch() { 0) 0.841 us | _spin_unlock_irq(); 0) 0.616 us | post_schedule_rt(); 0) 3.882 us | } Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: graph tracer race/crash fix There is a nasy race in startup of a new process running the function graph tracer. In fork.c: total_forks++; spin_unlock(¤t->sighand->siglock); write_unlock_irq(&tasklist_lock); ftrace_graph_init_task(p); proc_fork_connector(p); cgroup_post_fork(p); return p; The new task is free to run as soon as the tasklist_lock is released. This is before the ftrace_graph_init_task. If the task does run it will be using the same ret_stack and curr_ret_stack as the parent. This will cause crashes that are difficult to debug. This patch moves the ftrace_graph_init_task to just after the alloc_pid code. This fixes the above race. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: better trace output of duration for long calls The old duration output didn't exceeded 9999.999 us to fit the column and the nanosecs were always 3 numbers. As Ingo suggested, it's better to have the whole microseconds elapsed time and shift the nanosecs precision if needed to fit the maximum 7 numbers. And usec need more number, the case should be rare and important enough to break a bit the column alignment to show it. So, depending of the duration value, we now have these patterns: u.nnn us uu.nnn us uuu.nnn us uuuu.nnn us uuuuu.nn us uuuuuu.n us uuuuuuuu..... us Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: extend function-graph output: let one know which thread called a function This patch implements a helper function to print the couple cmdline/pid. Its output is provided during task switching and on each row if the new "funcgraph-proc" defualt-off option is set through trace_options file. The output is center aligned and never exceeds 14 characters. The cmdline is truncated over 7 chars. But note that if the pid exceeds 6 characters, the column will overflow (but the situation is abnormal).

Impact: better dumpstack output I noticed in my crash dumps and even in the stack tracer that a lot of functions listed in the stack trace are simply return_to_handler which is ftrace graphs way to insert its own call into the return of a function. But we lose out where the actually function was called from. This patch adds in hooks to the dumpstack mechanism that detects this and finds the real function to print. Both are printed to let the user know that a hook is still in place. This does give a funny side effect in the stack tracer output: Depth Size Location (80 entries) ----- ---- -------- 0) 4144 48 save_stack_trace+0x2f/0x4d 1) 4096 128 ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b 2) 3968 16 mempool_alloc_slab+0x16/0x18 3) 3952 384 return_to_handler+0x0/0x73 4) 3568 -240 stack_trace_call+0x11d/0x209 5) 3808 144 return_to_handler+0x0/0x73 6) 3664 -128 mempool_alloc+0x4d/0xfe 7) 3792 128 return_to_handler+0x0/0x73 8) 3664 -32 scsi_sg_alloc+0x48/0x4a [scsi_mod] As you can see, the real functions are now negative. This is due to them not being found inside the stack. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: new ftrace_graph_stop function While developing more features of function graph, I hit a bug that caused the WARN_ON to trigger in the prepare_ftrace_return function. Well, it was hard for me to find out that was happening because the bug would not print, it would just cause a hard lockup or reboot. The reason is that it is not safe to call printk from this function. Looking further, I also found that it calls unregister_ftrace_graph, which grabs a mutex and calls kstop machine. This would definitely lock the box up if it were to trigger. This patch adds a fast and safe ftrace_graph_stop() which will stop the function tracer. Then it is safe to call the WARN ON.

Impact: new API to ring buffer This patch adds a new interface into the ring buffer that allows a page to be read from the ring buffer on a given CPU. For every page read, one must also be given to allow for a "swap" of the pages. rpage = ring_buffer_alloc_read_page(buffer); if (!rpage) goto err; ret = ring_buffer_read_page(buffer, &rpage, cpu, full); if (!ret) goto empty; process_page(rpage); ring_buffer_free_read_page(rpage); The caller of these functions must handle any waits that are needed to wait for new data. The ring_buffer_read_page will simply return 0 if there is no data, or if "full" is set and the writer is still on the current page.

Impact: extend and enable the function graph tracer to 64-bit x86 This patch implements the support for function graph tracer under x86-64. Both static and dynamic tracing are supported. This causes some small CPP conditional asm on arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c I wanted to use probe_kernel_read/write to make the return address saving/patching code more generic but it causes tracing recursion. That would be perhaps useful to implement a notrace version of these function for other archs ports. Note that arch/x86/process_64.c is not traced, as in X86-32. I first thought __switch_to() was responsible of crashes during tracing because I believed current task were changed inside but that's actually not the case (actually yes, but not the "current" pointer). So I will have to investigate to find the functions that harm here, to enable tracing of the other functions inside (but there is no issue at this time, while process_64.c stays out of -pg flags). A little possible race condition is fixed inside this patch too. When the tracer allocate a return stack dynamically, the current depth is not initialized before but after. An interrupt could occur at this time and, after seeing that the return stack is allocated, the tracer could try to trace it with a random uninitialized depth. It's a prevention, even if I hadn't problems with it.

Fix module removal bugs of i82875p_edac. Also i82975x_edac code seems to have the same module removal bugs as in i82875p_edac. The problems were: 1. In module removal i82875p_remove_one() is never called. Variable i82875p_registered is newer changed from 1, which guarantees i82875p_remove_one() is not called (and even if it were called, it would be called in wrong order). As a result, the edac_mc workque is not stopped and keeps probing. If kernel debugging options are not enabled, user may not notice anything going wrong. if debugging options are enabled and I do "rmmod i82875p_edac", I get: edac debug: edac_pci_workq_function() checking BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at f882d16f ... call trace: [<f8834df3>] ? edac_mc_workq_function+0x55/0x7e [edac_core] [<c0233974>] ? run_workqueue+0xd7/0x1a5 [<c023392f>] ? run_workqueue+0x92/0x1a5 [<f8834d9e>] ? edac_mc_workq_function+0x0/0x7e [edac_core] [<c0233af9>] ? worker_thread+0xb7/0xc3 [<c0236a7b>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x33 [<c0233a42>] ? worker_thread+0x0/0xc3 [<c0236809>] ? kthread+0x3b/0x61 [<c02367ce>] ? kthread+0x0/0x61 [<c0204587>] ? kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 Fix for this is to get rid of needles variable i82875p_registered altogether and run i82875p_remove_one() *before* pci_unregister_driver(). 2. edac_mc_del_mc() uses mci after freeing mci edac_mc_del_mc() calls calls edac_remove_sysfs_mci_device(). The kobject refcount of mci drops to 0 and mci is freed. After this mci is accessed via debug print and i82875p_remove_one() still uses mci->pvt and tries to free mci again with edac_mc_free(). The fix for this is add kobject_get(&mci->edac_mci_kobj) after edac_mc_alloc(). Then the mci is still available after returning from edac_mc_del_mc() with refcount 1, and mci->pvt is still available. When i82875p_remove_one() finally calls edac_mc_free(), this will cause kobject_put() and mci is released properly.

When I do "modprobe i82875p_edac" on my Asus P4C800 MB on kernels 2.6.26 or later, the module load fails due to BAR 0 collision. On 2.6.25 the module loads just fine. The overflow device on the MB seems to be hidden and its resources are not allocated at normal PCI bus init. Log shows the missing resource problem: EDAC DEBUG: i82875p_probe1() PCI: 0000:00:06.0 reg 10 32bit mmio: [fecf0000, fecf0fff] pci 0000:00:06.0: device not available because of BAR 0 [0xfecf0000-0xfecf0fff] collisions EDAC i82875p: i82875p_setup_overfl_dev(): Failed to enable overflow device The patch below fixes this by calling pci_bus_assign_resources() after the overflow device is revealed and added to the bus.

The commit aef7db4b fixed the problem with recursive locking in fb blanking code if blank is caused by user setting the /sys/class/graphics/fb*/blank. However this broke the fbcon timeout blanking. If you use a driver that defines ->fb_blank operation and at the same time that driver relies on other driver (e.g. backlight or lcd class) to blank the screen, when the fbcon times out and tries to blank the fb, it will call only fb driver blanker and won't notify the other driver. Thus FB output is disabled, but the screen isn't blanked. Restore fbcon blanking and at the same time apply the proper fix for the above problem: if fbcon_blank is called with FBINFO_FLAG_USEREVENT, we are already called through notification from fb_blank, thus we don't have to blank the fb again.
