Currently ftrace allocates a trace buffer for every possible CPU. Work is being done to change it to only online CPUs and add hooks to hotplug CPUS. This patch lays out the infrastructure for such a change. 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 wakeup selftest used an internal API for setting the test task priority. This patch fixes it to use the proper API for performing such a task. Thanks goes to Randy Dunlap for pointing out this build failure. Signed-off-by:

This patch implements "NONBLOCK" for trace_pipe. If the trace_pipe is opened with O_NONBLOCK, then the trace_pipe read will not block when buffer is empty. Signed-off-by:

The trace iterator is reset in the read. We still need to restore the tracer that the trace_pipe was opened with. Signed-off-by:

We expect things like "cat" to block on reads to trace_pipe. That's what trace_pipe is for. 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:

There is a slight race condition in the selftest where the max update of the wakeup and irqs/preemption off tests can be doing a max update as the buffers are being tested. If this happens the system can crash with a GPF. This patch adds the max update spinlock around the checking of the buffers to prevent such a race. Signed-off-by:

If the trace output changes on reading the trace files, there is a chance that the start function will return NULL. If the start function of a sequence returns NULL the stop equivalent is not called. In this case, all locks that are taken must be released even if they are released in the stop function. This patch fixes a case that a mutex was not released on return of NULL in the start sequence function. Signed-off-by:

When dynamic ftrace fails and sets itself disabled, the ftraced daemon will go back to sleep everytime it wakes up. The setting of the ftraced state to UNINTERRUPTIBLE is skipped in this process, and the daemon takes up 100% of the CPU. This patch makes sure the ftraced daemon sets itself to UNINTERRUPTIBLE in that loop. Signed-off-by:

This patch removes the "notrace" annotation from lockdep and adds the debugging files in the kernel director to those that should not be compiled with "-pg" mcount tracing. Signed-off-by:

The debug functions in spin_lock debugging pollute the output of the function tracer. This patch adds the debug files in the lib director to those that should not be compiled with mcount tracing. Signed-off-by:

Lock debugging enabled cause huge performance problems for tracing. Having the lock verification happening for every function that is called because mcount calls spin_lock can cripple the system. This patch converts the spin_locks used by ftrace into raw_spin_locks. Signed-off-by:

This patch changes the use of __get_cpu_var to explicitly calling raw_smp_processor_id and using the per_cpu() macro. On some debug configurations, the use of __get_cpu_var may cause ftrace to trigger and this can cause problems with the irqsoff tracing. Signed-off-by:

With the adding of the configuration changes in the Makefile to prevent tracing of functions in the ftrace code, all tracing of all the ftrace code has been removed. Unfortunately, one of the selftests, relied on a function to be traced. With the new change, the function was no longer traced and the test failed. This patch separates out the test function into its own file so that we can add the "-pg" flag to the compilation of that function and the adding of the mcount call to that function. Signed-off-by:

The selftest validation code checks for valid entries in the trace buffer. TRACE_STACK and TRACE_SPECIAL have been added to the code but not to the validator. This patch adds the two to prevent them from flagging a failure in the selftest. Signed-off-by:

printk called from wakeup critical timings and irqs off can cause deadlocks since printk might do a wakeup itself. If the call to printk happens with the runqueue lock held, it can deadlock. This patch protects the printk from being called in trace irqs off with a test to see if the runqueue for the current CPU is locked. If it is locked, the printk is skipped. The wakeup always holds the runqueue lock, so the printk is simply removed. Signed-off-by:
