7a48837732 Merge branch 'for-3.15/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull core block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the pull request for the core block IO bits for the 3.15
  kernel.  It's a smaller round this time, it contains:

   - Various little blk-mq fixes and additions from Christoph and
     myself.

   - Cleanup of the IPI usage from the block layer, and associated
     helper code.  From Frederic Weisbecker and Jan Kara.

   - Duplicate code cleanup in bio-integrity from Gu Zheng.  This will
     give you a merge conflict, but that should be easy to resolve.

   - blk-mq notify spinlock fix for RT from Mike Galbraith.

   - A blktrace partial accounting bug fix from Roman Pen.

176ab02d49 Merge branch 'x86-asmlinkage-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 LTO changes from Peter Anvin:
 "More infrastructure work in preparation for link-time optimization
  (LTO).  Most of these changes is to make sure symbols accessed from
  assembly code are properly marked as visible so the linker doesn't
  remove them.

  My understanding is that the changes to support LTO are still not
  upstream in binutils, but are on the way there.  This patchset should
  conclude the x86-specific changes, and remaining patches to actually
  enable LTO will be fed through the Kbuild tree (other than keeping up
  with changes to the x86 code base, of course), although not
  necessarily in this merge window"

2c4a33aba5 tracing: Fix traceon trigger condition to actually turn tracing on
While working on my tutorial for 2014 Linux Collaboration Summit
I found that the traceon trigger did not work when conditions were
used. The other triggers worked fine though. Looking into it, it
is because of the way the triggers use the ring buffer to store
the fields it will use for the condition. But if tracing is off, nothing
is stored in the buffer, and the tracepoint exits before calling the
trigger to test the condition. This is fine for all the triggers that
only work when tracing is on, but for traceon trigger that is to
work when tracing is off, nothing happens.

The fix is simple, just use a temp ring buffer to record the event
if tracing is off and the event has a trace event conditional trigger
enabled. The rest of the tracepoint code will work just fine, but
the tracepoint wont be recorded in the other buffers.

87291347c4 tracing: Fix array size mismatch in format string
In event format strings, the array size is reported in two locations.
One in array subscript and then via the "size:" attribute. The values
reported there have a mismatch.

For e.g., in sched:sched_switch the prev_comm and next_comm character
arrays have subscript values as [32] where as the actual field size is
16.

name: sched_switch
ID: 301
format:
        field:unsigned short common_type;       offset:0;       size:2; signed:0;
        field:unsigned char common_flags;       offset:2;       size:1; signed:0;
        field:unsigned char common_preempt_count;       offset:3;       size:1;signed:0;
        field:int common_pid;   offset:4;       size:4; signed:1;

        field:char prev_comm[32];       offset:8;       size:16;        signed:1;
        field:pid_t prev_pid;   offset:24;      size:4; signed:1;
        field:int prev_prio;    offset:28;      size:4; signed:1;
        field:long prev_state;  offset:32;      size:8; signed:1;
        field:char next_comm[32];       offset:40;      size:16;        signed:1;
        field:pid_t next_pid;   offset:56;      size:4; signed:1;
        field:int next_prio;    offset:60;      size:4; signed:1;

After bisection, the following commit was blamed:
92edca0 tracing: Use direct field, type and system names

This commit removes the duplication of strings for field->name and
field->type assuming that all the strings passed in
__trace_define_field() are immutable. This is not true for arrays, where
the type string is created in event_storage variable and field->type for
all array fields points to event_storage.

Use __stringify() to create a string constant for the type string.

Also, get rid of event_storage and event_storage_mutex that are not
needed anymore.

also, an added benefit is that this reduces the overhead of events a bit more:

af5040da01 blktrace: fix accounting of partially completed requests
trace_block_rq_complete does not take into account that request can
be partially completed, so we can get the following incorrect output
of blkparser:

  C   R 232 + 240 [0]
  C   R 240 + 232 [0]
  C   R 248 + 224 [0]
  C   R 256 + 216 [0]

but should be:

  C   R 232 + 8 [0]
  C   R 240 + 8 [0]
  C   R 248 + 8 [0]
  C   R 256 + 8 [0]

Also, the whole output summary statistics of completed requests and
final throughput will be incorrect.

This patch takes into account real completion size of the request and
fixes wrong completion accounting.

45ab2813d4 tracing: Do not add event files for modules that fail tracepoints
If a module fails to add its tracepoints due to module tainting, do not
create the module event infrastructure in the debugfs directory. As the events
will not work and worse yet, they will silently fail, making the user wonder
why the events they enable do not display anything.

Having a warning on module load and the events not visible to the users
will make the cause of the problem much clearer.

d651aa1d68 ring-buffer: Fix first commit on sub-buffer having non-zero delta
Each sub-buffer (buffer page) has a full 64 bit timestamp. The events on
that page use a 27 bit delta against that timestamp in order to save on
bits written to the ring buffer. If the time between events is larger than
what the 27 bits can hold, a "time extend" event is added to hold the
entire 64 bit timestamp again and the events after that hold a delta from
that timestamp.

As a "time extend" is always paired with an event, it is logical to just
allocate the event with the time extend, to make things a bit more efficient.

Unfortunately, when the pairing code was written, it removed the "delta = 0"
from the first commit on a page, causing the events on the page to be
slightly skewed.

26f255646e tracing/README: Add event file usage to tracing mini-HOWTO
It would be useful to have a cheat-sheet for everything under
tracing/events/ alongside the existing text describing the other files
in the tracing/ dir.

Add short descriptions of the directories and files under events/
along with examples, similar to the existing text for the other files
in tracing/.

Also clean up a few minor alignment problems noticed when adding the
new text.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "This pull request has a new feature to ftrace, namely the trace event
  triggers by Tom Zanussi.  A trigger is a way to enable an action when
  an event is hit.  The actions are:

   o  trace on/off - enable or disable tracing
   o  snapshot     - save the current trace buffer in the snapshot
   o  stacktrace   - dump the current stack trace to the ringbuffer
   o  enable/disable events - enable or disable another event

  Namhyung Kim added updates to the tracing uprobes code.  Having the
  uprobes add support for fetch methods.

  The rest are various bug fixes with the new code, and minor ones for
  the old code"

92fdd98cf8 tracing: Fix buggered tee(2) on tracing_pipe
In kernel/trace/trace.c we have this:
static void tracing_pipe_buf_release(struct pipe_inode_info *pipe,
                                     struct pipe_buffer *buf)
{
        __free_page(buf->page);
}
static const struct pipe_buf_operations tracing_pipe_buf_ops = {
        .can_merge              = 0,
        .map                    = generic_pipe_buf_map,
        .unmap                  = generic_pipe_buf_unmap,
        .confirm                = generic_pipe_buf_confirm,
        .release                = tracing_pipe_buf_release,
        .steal                  = generic_pipe_buf_steal,
        .get                    = generic_pipe_buf_get,
};
with
void generic_pipe_buf_get(struct pipe_inode_info *pipe, struct pipe_buffer *buf)
{
        page_cache_get(buf->page);
}

and I don't see anything that would've prevented tee(2) called on the pipe
that got stuff spliced into it from that sucker.  ->ops->get() will be
called, then buf gets copied into target pipe's ->bufs[] and eventually
readers get to both copies of the buffer.  With
	get_page(page)
	look at that page
	__free_page(page)
	look at that page
	__free_page(page)
which is not a good thing, to put it mildly.  AFAICS, that ought to use
the normal generic_pipe_buf_release() (aka page_cache_release(buf->page)),
shouldn't it?

[
 SDR - As trace_pipe just allocates the page with alloc_page(GFP_KERNEL),
  and doesn't do anything special with it (no LRU logic). The __free_page()
  should be fine, as it wont actually free a page with reference count.
  Maybe there's a chance to leak memory? Anyway, This change is at a minimum
  good for being symmetric with generic_pipe_buf_get, it is fine to add.

dced341b2d tracing: Have trace buffer point back to trace_array
The trace buffer has a descriptor pointer that goes back to the trace
array. But it was never assigned. Luckily, nothing uses it (yet), but
it will in the future.

Although nothing currently uses this, if any of the new features get
backported to older kernels, and because this is such a simple change,
I'm marking it for stable too.

a4c35ed241 ftrace: Fix synchronization location disabling and freeing ftrace_ops
The synchronization needed after ftrace_ops are unregistered must happen
after the callback is disabled from becing called by functions.

The current location happens after the function is being removed from the
internal lists, but not after the function callbacks were disabled, leaving
the functions susceptible of being called after their callbacks are freed.

This affects perf and any externel users of function tracing (LTTng and
SystemTap).

23a8e8441a ftrace: Have function graph only trace based on global_ops filters
Doing some different tests, I discovered that function graph tracing, when
filtered via the set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace files, does
not always keep with them if another function ftrace_ops is registered
to trace functions.

The reason is that function graph just happens to trace all functions
that the function tracer enables. When there was only one user of
function tracing, the function graph tracer did not need to worry about
being called by functions that it did not want to trace. But now that there
are other users, this becomes a problem.

For example, one just needs to do the following:

 # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
 # echo schedule > set_ftrace_filter
 # echo function_graph > current_tracer
 # cat trace
[..]
 0)               |  schedule() {

When the stack tracer was enabled, it enabled all functions to be traced, which
now the function graph tracer also traces. This is a side effect that should
not occur.

To fix this a test is added when the function tracing is changed, as well as when
the graph tracer is enabled, to see if anything other than the ftrace global_ops
function tracer is enabled. If so, then the graph tracer calls a test trampoline
that will look at the function that is being traced and compare it with the
filters defined by the global_ops.

As an optimization, if there's no other function tracers registered, or if
the only registered function tracers also use the global ops, the function
graph infrastructure will call the registered function graph callback directly
and not go through the test trampoline.
