Merge tag 'trace-v5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

2020-12-17T21:22:17Z

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "The major update to this release is that there's a new arch config option called CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS. Currently, only x86_64 enables it. All the ftrace callbacks now take a struct ftrace_regs instead of a struct pt_regs. If the architecture has HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS enabled, then the ftrace_regs will have enough information to read the arguments of the function being traced, as well as access to the stack pointer. This way, if a user (like live kernel patching) only cares about the arguments, then it can avoid using the heavier weight "regs" callback, that puts in enough information in the struct ftrace_regs to simulate a breakpoint exception (needed for kprobes). A new config option that audits the timestamps of the ftrace ring buffer at most every event recorded. Ftrace recursion protection has been cleaned up to move the protection to the callback itself (this saves on an extra function call for those callbacks). Perf now handles its own RCU protection and does not depend on ftrace to do it for it (saving on that extra function call). New debug option to add "recursed_functions" file to tracefs that lists all the places that triggered the recursion protection of the function tracer. This will show where things need to be fixed as recursion slows down the function tracer. The eval enum mapping updates done at boot up are now offloaded to a work queue, as it caused a noticeable pause on slow embedded boards. Various clean ups and last minute fixes" * tag 'trace-v5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (33 commits) tracing: Offload eval map updates to a work queue Revert: "ring-buffer: Remove HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS" ring-buffer: Add rb_check_bpage in __rb_allocate_pages ring-buffer: Fix two typos in comments tracing: Drop unneeded assignment in ring_buffer_resize() tracing: Disable ftrace selftests when any tracer is running seq_buf: Avoid type mismatch for seq_buf_init ring-buffer: Fix a typo in function description ring-buffer: Remove obsolete rb_event_is_commit() ring-buffer: Add test to validate the time stamp deltas ftrace/documentation: Fix RST C code blocks tracing: Clean up after filter logic rewriting tracing: Remove the useless value assignment in test_create_synth_event() livepatch: Use the default ftrace_ops instead of REGS when ARGS is available ftrace/x86: Allow for arguments to be passed in to ftrace_regs by default ftrace: Have the callbacks receive a struct ftrace_regs instead of pt_regs MAINTAINERS: assign ./fs/tracefs to TRACING tracing: Fix some typos in comments ftrace: Remove unused varible 'ret' ring-buffer: Add recording of ring buffer recursion into recursed_functions ...

mm/lru: revise the comments of lru_lock

2020-12-15T22:48:04Z

Since we changed the pgdat->lru_lock to lruvec->lru_lock, it's time to fix the incorrect comments in code. Also fixed some zone->lru_lock comment error from ancient time. etc. I struggled to understand the comment above move_pages_to_lru() (surely it never calls page_referenced()), and eventually realized that most of it had got separated from shrink_active_list(): move that comment back.

docs: trace: fix event state structure name

2020-12-08T17:19:18Z

The documentation refers to a non-existent 'struct synth_trace_state' structure. The correct name is 'struct synth_event_trace_state'. In other words, this patch is a mechanical substitution: s/synth_trace_state/synth_event_trace_state/g Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy Reviewed-by: Tom Zanussi Acked-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201104122113.322452-1-dedekind1@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

tweewide: Fix most Shebang lines

2020-12-08T14:30:04Z

Change every shebang which does not need an argument to use /usr/bin/env. This is needed as not every distro has everything under /usr/bin, sometimes not even bash. Signed-off-by: Finn Behrens Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

ftrace: Add recording of functions that caused recursion

2020-11-06T13:42:26Z

This adds CONFIG_FTRACE_RECORD_RECURSION that will record to a file "recursed_functions" all the functions that caused recursion while a callback to the function tracer was running.

ftrace: Reverse what the RECURSION flag means in the ftrace_ops

2020-11-06T13:42:12Z

Now that all callbacks are recursion safe, reverse the meaning of the RECURSION flag and rename it from RECURSION_SAFE to simply RECURSION. Now only callbacks that request to have recursion protecting it will have the added trampoline to do so. Also remove the outdated comment about "PER_CPU" when determining to use the ftrace_ops_assist_func.

Pull documentation updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab: "A series of patches addressing warnings produced by make htmldocs. This includes: - kernel-doc markup fixes - ReST fixes - Updates at the build system in order to support newer versions of the docs build toolchain (Sphinx) After this series, the number of html build warnings should reduce significantly, and building with Sphinx 3.1 or later should now be supported (although it is still recommended to use Sphinx 2.4.4). As agreed with Jon, I should be sending you a late pull request by the end of the merge window addressing remaining issues with docs build, as there are a number of warning fixes that depends on pull requests that should be happening along the merge window. The end goal is to have a clean htmldocs build on Kernel 5.10. PS. It should be noticed that Sphinx 3.0 is not currently supported, as it lacks support for C domain namespaces. Such feature, needed in order to document uAPI system calls with Sphinx 3.x, was added only on Sphinx 3.1" * tag 'docs/v5.10-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media: (75 commits) PM / devfreq: remove a duplicated kernel-doc markup mm/doc: fix a literal block markup workqueue: fix a kernel-doc warning docs: virt: user_mode_linux_howto_v2.rst: fix a literal block markup Input: sparse-keymap: add a description for @sw rcu/tree: docs: document bkvcache new members at struct kfree_rcu_cpu nl80211: docs: add a description for s1g_cap parameter usb: docs: document altmode register/unregister functions kunit: test.h: fix a bad kernel-doc markup drivers: core: fix kernel-doc markup for dev_err_probe() docs: bio: fix a kerneldoc markup kunit: test.h: solve kernel-doc warnings block: bio: fix a warning at the kernel-doc markups docs: powerpc: syscall64-abi.rst: fix a malformed table drivers: net: hamradio: fix document location net: appletalk: Kconfig: Fix docs location dt-bindings: fix references to files converted to yaml memblock: get rid of a :c:type leftover math64.h: kernel-docs: Convert some markups into normal comments media: uAPI: buffer.rst: remove a left-over documentation ...
