Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt: "A feature was added in 4.3 that allowed users to filter trace points on a tasks "comm" field. But this prevented filtering on a comm field that is within a trace event (like sched_migrate_task). When trying to filter on when a program migrated, this change prevented the filtering of the sched_migrate_task. To fix this, the event fields are examined first, and then the extra fields like "comm" and "cpu" are examined. Also, instead of testing to assign the comm filter function based on the field's name, the generic comm field is given a new filter type (FILTER_COMM). When this field is used to filter the type is checked. The same is done for the cpu filter field. Two new special filter types are added: "COMM" and "CPU". This allows users to still filter the tasks comm for events that have "comm" as one of their fields, in cases that users would like to filter sched_migrate_task on the comm of the task that called the event, and not the comm of the task that is being migrated" * tag 'trace-fixes-v4.5-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracing: Do not have 'comm' filter override event 'comm' field

tracing: Do not have 'comm' filter override event 'comm' field

2016-03-04T14:57:10Z

Commit 9f61668073a8d "tracing: Allow triggers to filter for CPU ids and process names" added a 'comm' filter that will filter events based on the current tasks struct 'comm'. But this now hides the ability to filter events that have a 'comm' field too. For example, sched_migrate_task trace event. That has a 'comm' field of the task to be migrated. echo 'comm == "bash"' > events/sched_migrate_task/filter will now filter all sched_migrate_task events for tasks named "bash" that migrates other tasks (in interrupt context), instead of seeing when "bash" itself gets migrated. This fix requires a couple of changes. 1) Change the look up order for filter predicates to look at the events fields before looking at the generic filters. 2) Instead of basing the filter function off of the "comm" name, have the generic "comm" filter have its own filter_type (FILTER_COMM). Test against the type instead of the name to assign the filter function. 3) Add a new "COMM" filter that works just like "comm" but will filter based on the current task, even if the trace event contains a "comm" field. Do the same for "cpu" field, adding a FILTER_CPU and a filter "CPU".

Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt: "Another small bug reported to me by Chunyu Hu. When perf added a "reg" function to the function tracing event (not a tracepoint), it caused that event to be displayed as a tracepoint and could cause errors in tracepoint handling. That was solved by adding a flag to ignore ftrace non-tracepoint events. But that flag was missed when displaying events in available_events, which should only contain tracepoint events. This broke a documented way to enable all events with: cat available_events > set_event As the function non-tracepoint event would cause that to error out. The commit here fixes that by having the available_events file not list events that have the ignore flag set" * tag 'trace-fixes-v4.5-rc5-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracing: Fix showing function event in available_events

tracing: Fix showing function event in available_events

2016-02-24T14:17:11Z

The ftrace:function event is only displayed for parsing the function tracer data. It is not used to enable function tracing, and does not include an "enable" file in its event directory. Originally, this event was kept separate from other events because it did not have a ->reg parameter. But perf added a "reg" parameter for its use which caused issues, because it made the event available to functions where it was not compatible for. Commit 9b63776fa3ca9 "tracing: Do not enable function event with enable" added a TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE flag that prevented the function event from being enabled by normal trace events. But this commit missed keeping the function event from being displayed by the "available_events" directory, which is used to show what events can be enabled by set_event. One documented way to enable all events is to: cat available_events > set_event But because the function event is displayed in the available_events, this now causes an INVALID error: cat: write error: Invalid argument Reported-by: Chunyu Hu Fixes: 9b63776fa3ca9 "tracing: Do not enable function event with enable" Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.4+ Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: "Two more small fixes. One is by Yang Shi who added a READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() to the scan of the stack made by the stack tracer. As the stack tracer scans the entire kernel stack, KASAN triggers seeing it as a "stack out of bounds" error. As the scan is looking at the contents of the stack from parent functions. The NOCHECK() tells KASAN that this is done on purpose, and is not some kind of stack overflow. The second fix is to the ftrace selftests, to retrieve the PID of executed commands from the shell with '$!' and not by parsing 'jobs'" * tag 'trace-fixes-v4.5-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracing, kasan: Silence Kasan warning in check_stack of stack_tracer ftracetest: Fix instance test to use proper shell command for pids

Pull livepatching fixes from Jiri Kosina: - regression (from 4.4) fix for ordering issue, introduced by an earlier ftrace change, that broke live patching of modules. The fix replaces the ftrace module notifier by direct call in order to make the ordering guaranteed and well-defined. The patch, from Jessica Yu, has been acked both by Steven and Rusty - error message fix from Miroslav Benes * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/livepatching: ftrace/module: remove ftrace module notifier livepatch: change the error message in asm/livepatch.h header files

ftrace/module: remove ftrace module notifier

2016-02-17T21:14:06Z

Remove the ftrace module notifier in favor of directly calling ftrace_module_enable() and ftrace_release_mod() in the module loader. Hard-coding the function calls directly in the module loader removes dependence on the module notifier call chain and provides better visibility and control over what gets called when, which is important to kernel utilities such as livepatch. This fixes a notifier ordering issue in which the ftrace module notifier (and hence ftrace_module_enable()) for coming modules was being called after klp_module_notify(), which caused livepatch modules to initialize incorrectly. This patch removes dependence on the module notifier call chain in favor of hard coding the corresponding function calls in the module loader. This ensures that ftrace and livepatch code get called in the correct order on patch module load and unload.
