David S. Miller noticed the following bug: the -pg instrumentation function callback is named differently on each platform. On x86 it is mcount, on sparc it is _mcount. So the export does not make sense in kernel/trace/ftrace.c - move it to x86. Signed-off-by:

It causes unaligned access traps on platforms like sparc (ftrace_page may be marked packed, but once we return a dyn_ftrace sub-object from this array to another piece of code, the "packed" part of the typing information doesn't propagate). But also, it didn't serve any purpose either. Even if packed, on 64-bit or 32-bit, it didn't give us any more dyn_ftrace entries per-page. Signed-off-by:

Porting ftrace to the marker infrastructure. Don't need to chain to the wakeup tracer from the sched tracer, because markers support multiple probes connected. Signed-off-by:

To support the forthcoming "immediate values" marker optimization, we must have a way to declare markers in few code paths that does not use instruction modification based enable. This will be the case of printk(), some traps and eventually lockdep instrumentation. Changelog : - Fix reversed boolean logic of "generic". Signed-off-by:

Very good point. I actually thought about dropping it, since it would remove an unnecessary argument from the stack. And actually, since I now have the marker_probe_cb sitting between the marker site and the callbacks, there is no API change required. Thanks :) Mathieu Signed-off-by: -

Currently there is no protection from the root user to use up all of memory for trace buffers. If the root user allocates too many entries, the OOM killer might start kill off all tasks. This patch adds an algorith to check the following condition: pages_requested > (freeable_memory + current_trace_buffer_pages) / 4 If the above is met then the allocation fails. The above prevents more than 1/4th of freeable memory from being used by trace buffers. To determine the freeable_memory, I made determine_dirtyable_memory in mm/page-writeback.c global. Special thanks goes to Peter Zijlstra for suggesting the above calculation. Signed-off-by:

Refactor code from tracing_read_pipe() and create trace_seq_to_user(). Moved trace_seq_reset() call before iter->trace->read() call so that when all leftover data is returned, trace_seq is reset automatically. Signed-off-by:

Due to debug hooks in the kernel that can change the way smp_processor_id works, use raw_smp_processor_id in mcount called functions (namely ftrace_record_ip). Currently we annotate most debug functions from calling mcount, but we should not rely on that to prevent kernel lockups. This patch uses the raw_smp_processor_id to prevent a recusive crash that can happen if a debug hook in smp_processor_id calls mcount. Signed-off-by:

Without CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE, mark_rodata_ro() would mark a wrong number of pages as no-execute. The bug was introduced in the patch "ftrace: dont write protect kernel text". The symptom was machine reboot after a CPU hotplug. Signed-off-by:

With the introduction of ftrace, it is possible to recurse into the lockdep functions via the mcount call. To prevent possible lockups, updating the lockdep_recursion counter on grabbing the internal lockdep_lock should prevent deadlocks. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds /debug/tracing/trace_entries that allows users to see as well as modify the number of trace entries the buffers hold. The number of entries only increments in ENTRIES_PER_PAGE which is calculated by the size of an entry with the number of entries that can fit in a page. The user does not need to use an exact size, but the entries will be rounded to one of the increments. Trying to set the entries to 0 will return with -EINVAL. To avoid race conditions, the modification of the buffer size can only be done when tracing is completely disabled (current_tracer == none). A info message will be printed if a user tries to modify the buffer size when not set to none. Signed-off-by:

The conversion of task states to a character in the sched_switch tracer (part of latency tracer infrastructure), seems to be incorrect. We currently do it by indexing into the state_to_char array using the state value. The state values do not map directly into the array index and are thus incorrect. The following patch addresses this issue. This is also what is being done even in the show_task() routine in kernel/sched.c The patch has been compile and run tested. Signed-off-by:

Provides kernel modules a way to register custom page fault handlers. On every page fault this will call a list of registered functions. The functions may handle the fault and force do_page_fault() to return immediately. This functionality is similar to the now removed page fault notifiers. Custom page fault handlers are used by debugging and reverse engineering tools. Mmiotrace is one such tool and a patch to add it into the tree will follow. The custom page fault handlers are called earlier in do_page_fault() than the page fault notifiers were. Signed-off-by:
