Merge tag 'trace-v5.6-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

2020-02-06T07:12:11Z

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Added new "bootconfig". This looks for a file appended to initrd to add boot config options, and has been discussed thoroughly at Linux Plumbers. Very useful for adding kprobes at bootup. Only enabled if "bootconfig" is on the real kernel command line. - Created dynamic event creation. Merges common code between creating synthetic events and kprobe events. - Rename perf "ring_buffer" structure to "perf_buffer" - Rename ftrace "ring_buffer" structure to "trace_buffer" Had to rename existing "trace_buffer" to "array_buffer" - Allow trace_printk() to work withing (some) tracing code. - Sort of tracing configs to be a little better organized - Fixed bug where ftrace_graph hash was not being protected properly - Various other small fixes and clean ups * tag 'trace-v5.6-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (88 commits) bootconfig: Show the number of nodes on boot message tools/bootconfig: Show the number of bootconfig nodes bootconfig: Add more parse error messages bootconfig: Use bootconfig instead of boot config ftrace: Protect ftrace_graph_hash with ftrace_sync ftrace: Add comment to why rcu_dereference_sched() is open coded tracing: Annotate ftrace_graph_notrace_hash pointer with __rcu tracing: Annotate ftrace_graph_hash pointer with __rcu bootconfig: Only load bootconfig if "bootconfig" is on the kernel cmdline tracing: Use seq_buf for building dynevent_cmd string tracing: Remove useless code in dynevent_arg_pair_add() tracing: Remove check_arg() callbacks from dynevent args tracing: Consolidate some synth_event_trace code tracing: Fix now invalid var_ref_vals assumption in trace action tracing: Change trace_boot to use synth_event interface tracing: Move tracing selftests to bottom of menu tracing: Move mmio tracer config up with the other tracers tracing: Move tracing test module configs together tracing: Move all function tracing configs together tracing: Documentation for in-kernel synthetic event API ...

ftrace: Protect ftrace_graph_hash with ftrace_sync

2020-02-05T22:16:42Z

As function_graph tracer can run when RCU is not "watching", it can not be protected by synchronize_rcu() it requires running a task on each CPU before it can be freed. Calling schedule_on_each_cpu(ftrace_sync) needs to be used.

ftrace: Add comment to why rcu_dereference_sched() is open coded

2020-02-05T22:15:57Z

Because the function graph tracer can execute in sections where RCU is not "watching", the rcu_dereference_sched() for the has needs to be open coded. This is fine because the RCU "flavor" of the ftrace hash is protected by its own RCU handling (it does its own little synchronization on every CPU and does not rely on RCU sched).

tracing: Add trace_array_find/_get() to find instance trace arrays

2020-01-30T14:46:27Z

Add a new trace_array_find() function that can be used to find a trace array given the instance name, and replace existing code that does the same thing with it. Also add trace_array_find_get() which does the same but returns the trace array after upping its refcount. Also make both available for use outside of trace.c.

tracing: Use pr_err() instead of WARN() for memory failures

2020-01-25T15:52:30Z

As warnings can trigger panics, especially when "panic_on_warn" is set, memory failure warnings can cause panics and fail fuzz testers that are stressing memory. Create a MEM_FAIL() macro to use instead of WARN() in the tracing code (perhaps this should be a kernel wide macro?), and use that for memory failure issues. This should stop failing fuzz tests due to warnings.

tracing: Make struct ring_buffer less ambiguous

2020-01-13T18:19:38Z

As there's two struct ring_buffers in the kernel, it causes some confusion. The other one being the perf ring buffer. It was agreed upon that as neither of the ring buffers are generic enough to be used globally, they should be renamed as: perf's ring_buffer -> perf_buffer ftrace's ring_buffer -> trace_buffer This implements the changes to the ring buffer that ftrace uses.

tracing: Rename trace_buffer to array_buffer

2020-01-13T18:19:38Z

As we are working to remove the generic "ring_buffer" name that is used by both tracing and perf, the ring_buffer name for tracing will be renamed to trace_buffer, and perf's ring buffer will be renamed to perf_buffer. As there already exists a trace_buffer that is used by the trace_arrays, it needs to be first renamed to array_buffer.
