ftrace: Fix some W=1 warnings in kernel doc comments

Clean up the following clang-w1 warning: kernel/trace/ftrace.c:7827: warning: Function parameter or member 'ops' not described in 'unregister_ftrace_function'. kernel/trace/ftrace.c:7805: warning: Function parameter or member 'ops' not described in 'register_ftrace_function'.

ftrace: Remove unused ftrace_startup_enable() stub

2022-02-25T17:07:01Z

When building with clang + CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=n + W=1, there is a warning: kernel/trace/ftrace.c:7194:20: error: unused function 'ftrace_startup_enable' [-Werror,-Wunused-function] static inline void ftrace_startup_enable(int command) { } ^ 1 error generated. Clang warns on instances of static inline functions in .c files with W=1 after commit 6863f5643dd7 ("kbuild: allow Clang to find unused static inline functions for W=1 build"). The ftrace_startup_enable() stub has been unused since commit e1effa0144a1 ("ftrace: Annotate the ops operation on update"), where its use outside of the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_TRACE section was replaced by ftrace_startup_all(). Remove it to resolve the warning.

Pull ftrace fix from Steven Rostedt: "Fix s390 breakage from sorting mcount tables. The latest merge of the tracing tree sorts the mcount table at build time. But s390 appears to do things differently (like always) and replaces the sorted table back to the original unsorted one. As the ftrace algorithm depends on it being sorted, bad things happen when it is not, and s390 experienced those bad things. Add a new config to tell the boot if the mcount table is sorted or not, and allow s390 to opt out of it" * tag 'trace-v5.17-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: ftrace: Fix assuming build time sort works for s390

ftrace: Fix assuming build time sort works for s390

2022-01-23T05:10:09Z

To speed up the boot process, as mcount_loc needs to be sorted for ftrace to work properly, sorting it at build time is more efficient than boot up and can save milliseconds of time. Unfortunately, this change broke s390 as it will modify the mcount_loc location after the sorting takes place and will put back the unsorted locations. Since the sorting is skipped at boot up if it is believed that it was sorted at run time, ftrace can crash as its algorithms are dependent on the list being sorted. Add a new config BUILDTIME_MCOUNT_SORT that is set when BUILDTIME_TABLE_SORT but not if S390 is set. Use this config to determine if sorting should take place at boot up.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "New: - The Real Time Linux Analysis (RTLA) tool is added to the tools directory. - Can safely filter on user space pointers with: field.ustring ~ "match-string" - eprobes can now be filtered like any other event. - trace_marker(_raw) now uses stream_open() to allow multiple threads to safely write to it. Note, this could possibly break existing user space, but we will not know until we hear about it, and then can revert the change if need be. - New field in events to display when bottom halfs are disabled. - Sorting of the ftrace functions are now done at compile time instead of at bootup. Infrastructure changes to support future efforts: - Added __rel_loc type for trace events. Similar to __data_loc but the offset to the dynamic data is based off of the location of the descriptor and not the beginning of the event. Needed for user defined events. - Some simplification of event trigger code. - Make synthetic events process its callback better to not hinder other event callbacks that are registered. Needed for user defined events. And other small fixes and cleanups" * tag 'trace-v5.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (50 commits) tracing: Add ustring operation to filtering string pointers rtla: Add rtla timerlat hist documentation rtla: Add rtla timerlat top documentation rtla: Add rtla timerlat documentation rtla: Add rtla osnoise hist documentation rtla: Add rtla osnoise top documentation rtla: Add rtla osnoise man page rtla: Add Documentation rtla/timerlat: Add timerlat hist mode rtla: Add timerlat tool and timelart top mode rtla/osnoise: Add the hist mode rtla/osnoise: Add osnoise top mode rtla: Add osnoise tool rtla: Helper functions for rtla rtla: Real-Time Linux Analysis tool tracing/osnoise: Properly unhook events if start_per_cpu_kthreads() fails tracing: Remove duplicate warnings when calling trace_create_file() tracing/kprobes: 'nmissed' not showed correctly for kretprobe tracing: Add test for user space strings when filtering on string pointers tracing: Have syscall trace events use trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() ...

ftrace: Add test to make sure compiled time sorts work

2022-01-13T21:23:05Z

Now that ftrace function pointers are sorted at compile time, add a test that makes sure they are sorted at run time. This test is only run if it is configured in. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211206151858.4d21a24d@gandalf.local.home Cc: Yinan Liu Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

scripts: ftrace - move the sort-processing in ftrace_init

2022-01-13T21:23:04Z

When the kernel starts, the initialization of ftrace takes up a portion of the time (approximately 6~8ms) to sort mcount addresses. We can save this time by moving mcount-sorting to compile time.

ftrace: Use direct_ops hash in unregister_ftrace_direct

2021-12-08T17:12:02Z

Now when we have *direct_multi interface the direct_functions hash is no longer owned just by direct_ops. It's also used by any other ftrace_ops passed to *direct_multi interface. Thus to find out that we are unregistering the last function from direct_ops, we need to check directly direct_ops's hash.
