Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "This release cycle is rather small.  Just a few fixes to tracing.

  The big change is the addition of the hwlat tracer. It not only
  detects SMIs, but also other latency that's caused by the hardware. I
  have detected some latency from large boxes having bus contention"

* tag 'trace-v4.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
  tracing: Call traceoff trigger after event is recorded
  ftrace/scripts: Add helper script to bisect function tracing problem functions
  tracing: Have max_latency be defined for HWLAT_TRACER as well

The subtime is used only for function profiler with function graph
tracer enabled.  Move the definition of subtime under
CONFIG_FUNCTION_PROFILER to reduce the memory usage.  Also move the
initialization of subtime into the graph entry callback.

<title>function_graph: Handle TRACE_BPUTS in print_graph_comment</title>

<content type='text'>
It missed to handle TRACE_BPUTS so messages recorded by trace_bputs()
will be shown with symbol info unnecessarily.

You can see it with the trace_printk sample code:

  # cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
  # echo sys_sync &gt; set_graph_function
  # echo 1 &gt; options/sym-offset
  # echo function_graph &gt; current_tracer

Note that the sys_sync filter was there to prevent recording other
functions and the sym-offset option was needed since the first message
was called from a module init function so kallsyms doesn't have the
symbol and omitted in the output.

  # cd ~/build/kernel
  # insmod samples/trace_printk/trace-printk.ko

  # cd -
  # head trace

Before:

  # tracer: function_graph
  #
  # CPU  DURATION                  FUNCTION CALLS
  # |     |   |                     |   |   |   |

<title>ftrace: Add ftrace_graph_ret_addr() stack unwinding helpers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:223918e32a87c79ac55ca4aa513ba405ba4d57cd</id>
<content type='text'>
When function graph tracing is enabled for a function, ftrace modifies
the stack by replacing the original return address with the address of a
hook function (return_to_handler).

Stack unwinders need a way to get the original return address.  Add an
arch-independent helper function for that named ftrace_graph_ret_addr().

This adds two variations of the function: one depends on
HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RET_ADDR_PTR, and the other relies on an index state
variable.

The former is recommended because, in some cases, the latter can cause
problems when the unwinder skips stack frames.  It can get out of sync
with the ret_stack index and wrong addresses can be reported for the
stack trace.

Once all arches have been ported to use
HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RET_ADDR_PTR, we can get rid of the distinction.

<title>ftrace: Add return address pointer to ftrace_ret_stack</title>

Storing this value will help prevent unwinders from getting out of sync
with the function graph tracer ret_stack.  Now instead of needing a
stateful iterator, they can compare the return address pointer to find
the right ret_stack entry.

Note that an array of 50 ftrace_ret_stack structs is allocated for every
task.  So when an arch implements this, it will add either 200 or 400
bytes of memory usage per task (depending on whether it's a 32-bit or
64-bit platform).

This saves some memory when HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_FP_TEST isn't defined.
On x86_64 with newer versions of gcc which have -mfentry, it saves 400
bytes per task.

Make HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_FP_TEST a normal define, independent from
kconfig.  This removes some config file pollution and simplifies the
checking for the fp test.

<content type='text'>
Function graph tracer currently ignores filters if tracing_thresh is set.
For example, even if set_ftrace_pid is set, then its ignored if tracing_thresh
set, resulting in all processes being traced.

To fix this, we reuse the same entry function as when tracing_thresh is not
set and do everything as in the regular case except for writing the function entry
to the ring buffer.

Convert set_ftrace_pid to use the bitmap like set_event_pid does. This
allows for instances to use the pid filtering as well, and will allow for
function-fork option to set if the children of a traced function should be
traced or not.

<title>arch, ftrace: for KASAN put hard/soft IRQ entries into separate sections</title>

KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler.
This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the
number of unique stack traces needed to be stored.

Move the definition of __irq_entry to &lt;linux/interrupt.h&gt; so that the
users don't need to pull in &lt;linux/ftrace.h&gt;.  Also introduce the
__softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the
corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.
