Pull ftrace fixes from Steven Rostedt: "This holds a few fixes to the ftrace infrastructure as well as the mixture of function graph tracing and kprobes. When jprobes and function graph tracing is enabled at the same time it will crash the system: # modprobe jprobe_example # echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer After the first fork (jprobe_example probes it), the system will crash. This is due to the way jprobes copies the stack frame and does not do a normal function return. This messes up with the function graph tracing accounting which hijacks the return address from the stack and replaces it with a hook function. It saves the return addresses in a separate stack to put back the correct return address when done. But because the jprobe functions do not do a normal return, their stack addresses are not put back until the function they probe is called, which means that the probed function will get the return address of the jprobe handler instead of its own. The simple fix here was to disable function graph tracing while the jprobe handler is being called. While debugging this I found two minor bugs with the function graph tracing. The first was about the function graph tracer sharing its function hash with the function tracer (they both get filtered by the same input). The changing of the set_ftrace_filter would not sync the function recording records after a change if the function tracer was disabled but the function graph tracer was enabled. This was due to the update only checking one of the ops instead of the shared ops to see if they were enabled and should perform the sync. This caused the ftrace accounting to break and a ftrace_bug() would be triggered, disabling ftrace until a reboot. The second was that the check to update records only checked one of the filter hashes. It needs to test both the "filter" and "notrace" hashes. The "filter" hash determines what functions to trace where as the "notrace" hash determines what functions not to trace (trace all but these). Both hashes need to be passed to the update code to find out what change is being done during the update. This also broke the ftrace record accounting and triggered a ftrace_bug(). This patch set also include two more fixes that were reported separately from the kprobe issue. One was that init_ftrace_syscalls() was called twice at boot up. This is not a major bug, but that call performed a rather large kmalloc (NR_syscalls * sizeof(*syscalls_metadata)). The second call made the first one a memory leak, and wastes memory. The other fix is a regression caused by an update in the v3.19 merge window. The moving to enable events early, moved the enabling before PID 1 was created. The syscall events require setting the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT for all tasks. But for_each_process_thread() does not include the swapper task (PID 0), and ended up being a nop. A suggested fix was to add the init_task() to have its flag set, but I didn't really want to mess with PID 0 for this minor bug. Instead I disable and re-enable events again at early_initcall() where it use to be enabled. This also handles any other event that might have its own reg function that could break at early boot up" * tag 'trace-fixes-v3.19-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracing: Fix enabling of syscall events on the command line tracing: Remove extra call to init_ftrace_syscalls() ftrace/jprobes/x86: Fix conflict between jprobes and function graph tracing ftrace: Check both notrace and filter for old hash ftrace: Fix updating of filters for shared global_ops filters

tracing: Fix enabling of syscall events on the command line

2015-01-15T14:42:50Z

Commit 5f893b2639b2 "tracing: Move enabling tracepoints to just after rcu_init()" broke the enabling of system call events from the command line. The reason was that the enabling of command line trace events was moved before PID 1 started, and the syscall tracepoints require that all tasks have the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT flag set. But the swapper task (pid 0) is not part of that. Since the swapper task is the only task that is running at this early in boot, no task gets the flag set, and the tracepoint never gets reached. Instead of setting the swapper task flag (there should be no reason to do that), re-enabled trace events again after the init thread (PID 1) has been started. It requires disabling all command line events and re-enabling them, as just enabling them again will not reset the logic to set the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT flag, as the syscall tracepoint will be fooled into thinking that it was already set, and wont try setting it again. For this reason, we must first disable it and re-enable it.

tracing: Remove extra call to init_ftrace_syscalls()

2015-01-15T14:41:11Z

trace_init() calls init_ftrace_syscalls() and then calls trace_event_init() which also calls init_ftrace_syscalls(). It makes more sense to only call it from trace_event_init(). Calling it twice wastes memory, as it allocates the syscall events twice, and loses the first copy of it.

ftrace: Check both notrace and filter for old hash

2015-01-15T14:37:33Z

Using just the filter for checking for trampolines or regs is not enough when updating the code against the records that represent all functions. Both the filter hash and the notrace hash need to be checked. To trigger this bug (using trace-cmd and perf): # perf probe -a do_fork # trace-cmd start -B foo -e probe # trace-cmd record -p function_graph -n do_fork sleep 1 The trace-cmd record at the end clears the filter before it disables function_graph tracing and then that causes the accounting of the ftrace function records to become incorrect and causes ftrace to bug.

ftrace: Fix updating of filters for shared global_ops filters

2015-01-15T14:37:07Z

As the set_ftrace_filter affects both the function tracer as well as the function graph tracer, the ops that represent each have a shared ftrace_ops_hash structure. This allows both to be updated when the filter files are updated. But if function graph is enabled and the global_ops (function tracing) ops is not, then it is possible that the filter could be changed without the update happening for the function graph ops. This will cause the changes to not take place and may even cause a ftrace_bug to occur as it could mess with the trampoline accounting. The solution is to check if the ops uses the shared global_ops filter and if the ops itself is not enabled, to check if there's another ops that is enabled and also shares the global_ops filter. In that case, the modification still needs to be executed.

Specifics: - Fix a regression in leds-gpio introduced by a recent commit that inadvertently changed the name of one of the properties used by the driver (Fabio Estevam). - Fix a regression in the ACPI backlight driver introduced by a recent fix that missed one special case that had to be taken into account (Aaron Lu). - Drop the level of some new kernel messages from the ACPI core introduced by a recent commit to KERN_DEBUG which they should have used from the start and drop some other unuseful KERN_ERR messages printed by ACPI (Rafael J Wysocki). - Revert an incorrect commit modifying the cpupower tool (Prarit Bhargava). - Fix two regressions introduced by recent commits in the OPP library and clean up some existing minor issues in that code (Viresh Kumar). - Continue to replace CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME with CONFIG_PM throughout the tree (or drop it where that can be done) in order to make it possible to eliminate CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME (Rafael J Wysocki, Ulf Hansson, Ludovic Desroches). There will be one more "CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME removal" batch after this one, because some new uses of it have been introduced during the current merge window, but that should be sufficient to finally get rid of it. - Make the ACPI EC driver more robust against race conditions related to GPE handler installation failures (Lv Zheng). - Prevent the ACPI device PM core code from attempting to disable GPEs that it has not enabled which confuses ACPICA and makes it report errors unnecessarily (Rafael J Wysocki). - Add a "force" command line switch to the intel_pstate driver to make it possible to override the blacklisting of some systems in that driver if needed (Ethan Zhao). - Improve intel_pstate code documentation and add a MAINTAINERS entry for it (Kristen Carlson Accardi). - Make the ACPI fan driver create cooling device interfaces witn names that reflect the IDs of the ACPI device objects they are associated with, except for "generic" ACPI fans (PNP ID "PNP0C0B").

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "As the merge window is still open, and this code was not as complex as I thought it might be. I'm pushing this in now. This will allow Thomas to debug his irq work for 3.20. This adds two new features: 1) Allow traceopoints to be enabled right after mm_init(). By passing in the trace_event= kernel command line parameter, tracepoints can be enabled at boot up. For debugging things like the initialization of interrupts, it is needed to have tracepoints enabled very early. People have asked about this before and this has been on my todo list. As it can be helpful for Thomas to debug his upcoming 3.20 IRQ work, I'm pushing this now. This way he can add tracepoints into the IRQ set up and have users enable them when things go wrong. 2) Have the tracepoints printed via printk() (the console) when they are triggered. If the irq code locks up or reboots the box, having the tracepoint output go into the kernel ring buffer is useless for debugging. But being able to add the tp_printk kernel command line option along with the trace_event= option will have these tracepoints printed as they occur, and that can be really useful for debugging early lock up or reboot problems. This code is not that intrusive and it passed all my tests. Thomas tried them out too and it works for his needs.

tracing: Add tp_printk cmdline to have tracepoints go to printk()

2014-12-15T15:17:38Z

Add the kernel command line tp_printk option that will have tracepoints that are active sent to printk() as well as to the trace buffer. Passing "tp_printk" will activate this. To turn it off, the sysctl /proc/sys/kernel/tracepoint_printk can have '0' echoed into it. Note, this only works if the cmdline option is used. Echoing 1 into the sysctl file without the cmdline option will have no affect. Note, this is a dangerous option. Having high frequency tracepoints send their data to printk() can possibly cause a live lock. This is another reason why this is only active if the command line option is used.

tracing: Move enabling tracepoints to just after rcu_init()

2014-12-15T15:16:50Z

Enabling tracepoints at boot up can be very useful. The tracepoint can be initialized right after RCU has been. There's no need to wait for the early_initcall() to be called. That's too late for some things that can use tracepoints for debugging. Move the logic to enable tracepoints out of the initcalls and into init/main.c to right after rcu_init(). This also allows trace_printk() to be used early too.
