<id>urn:sha1:613f04a0f51e6e68ac6fe571ab79da3c0a5eb4da</id>
<content type='text'>
The latency tracers require the buffers to be in overwrite mode,
otherwise they get screwed up. Force the buffers to stay in overwrite
mode when latency tracers are enabled.

Added a flag_changed() method to the tracer structure to allow
the tracers to see what flags are being changed, and also be able
to prevent the change from happing.

print_max and use_max_tr in struct tracer are "int" variables and
used like flags. This is wasteful, so change the type to "bool".

<title>tracing: Allow tracers to start at core initcall</title>

<content type='text'>
There's times during debugging that it is helpful to see traces of early
boot functions. But the tracers are initialized at device_initcall()
which is quite late during the boot process. Setting the kernel command
line parameter ftrace=function will not show anything until the function
tracer is initialized. This prevents being able to trace functions before
device_initcall().

There's no reason that the tracers need to be initialized so late in the
boot process. Move them up to core_initcall() as they still need to come
after early_initcall() which initializes the tracing buffers.

<title>ftrace: Add default recursion protection for function tracing</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4740974a6844156c14d741b0080b59d275679a23</id>
<content type='text'>
As more users of the function tracer utility are being added, they do
not always add the necessary recursion protection. To protect from
function recursion due to tracing, if the callback ftrace_ops does not
specifically specify that it protects against recursion (by setting
the FTRACE_OPS_FL_RECURSION_SAFE flag), the list operation will be
called by the mcount trampoline which adds recursion protection.

If the flag is set, then the function will be called directly with no
extra protection.

Note, the list operation is called if more than one function callback
is registered, or if the arch does not support all of the function
tracer features.

<title>ftrace: Return pt_regs to function trace callback</title>

<content type='text'>
Return as the 4th paramater to the function tracer callback the pt_regs.

Later patches that implement regs passing for the architectures will require
having the ftrace_ops set the SAVE_REGS flag, which will tell the arch
to take the time to pass a full set of pt_regs to the ftrace_ops callback
function. If the arch does not support it then it should pass NULL.

If an arch can pass full regs, then it should define:
 ARCH_SUPPORTS_FTRACE_SAVE_REGS to 1

<title>ftrace: Pass ftrace_ops as third parameter to function trace callback</title>

Currently the function trace callback receives only the ip and parent_ip
of the function that it traced. It would be more powerful to also return
the ops that registered the function as well. This allows the same function
to act differently depending on what ftrace_ops registered it.

<title>tracing/latency: Fix header output for latency tracers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7e9a49ef542610609144d1afcd516dc3fafac4d6</id>
<content type='text'>
In case the the graph tracer (CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER) or even the
function tracer (CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER) are not set, the latency tracers
do not display proper latency header.

The involved/fixed latency tracers are:
        wakeup_rt
        wakeup
        preemptirqsoff
        preemptoff
        irqsoff

The patch adds proper handling of tracer configuration options for latency
tracers, and displaying correct header info accordingly.

* The current output (for wakeup tracer) with both graph and function
  tracers disabled is:

  # tracer: wakeup
  #
    &lt;idle&gt;-0       0d.h5    1us+:      0:120:R   + [000]     7:  0:R watchdog/0
    &lt;idle&gt;-0       0d.h5    3us+: ttwu_do_activate.clone.1 &lt;-try_to_wake_up
    ...

* The fixed output is:

  # tracer: wakeup

       cat-1129    0d..4    2us+: ttwu_do_activate.clone.1 &lt;-try_to_wake_up

* The current output (for wakeup tracer) with only function
  tracer enabled is:

  # tracer: wakeup
