Pull tracing update from Steven Rostedt:
"This batch of changes is mostly clean ups and small bug fixes. The
only real feature that was added this release is from Namhyung Kim,
who introduced "set_graph_notrace" filter that lets you run the
function graph tracer and not trace particular functions and their
call chain.
Tom Zanussi added some updates to the ftrace multibuffer tracing that
made it more consistent with the top level tracing.
One of the fixes for perf function tracing required an API change in
RCU; the addition of "rcu_is_watching()". As Paul McKenney is pushing
that change in this release too, he gave me a branch that included all
the changes to get that working, and I pulled that into my tree in
order to complete the perf function tracing fix"

The duration field of print_graph_duration() can also be used
to do the space filling by passing an enum in it:
DURATION_FILL_FULL
DURATION_FILL_START
DURATION_FILL_END
The problem is that these are enums and defined as negative,
but the duration field is unsigned long long. Most archs are
fine with this but blackfin fails to compile because of it:
kernel/built-in.o: In function `print_graph_duration':
kernel/trace/trace_functions_graph.c:782: undefined reference to `__ucmpdi2'
Overloading a unsigned long long with an signed enum is just
bad in principle. We can accomplish the same thing by using
part of the flags field instead.

The original SOFT_DISABLE patches didn't add support for soft disable
of syscall events; this adds it.
Add an array of ftrace_event_file pointers indexed by syscall number
to the trace array and remove the existing enabled bitmaps, which as a
result are now redundant. The ftrace_event_file structs in turn
contain the soft disable flags we need for per-syscall soft disable
accounting.
Adding ftrace_event_files also means we can remove the USE_CALL_FILTER
bit, thus enabling multibuffer filter support for syscall events.

The trace event filters are still tied to event calls rather than
event files, which means you don't get what you'd expect when using
filters in the multibuffer case:
Before:
# echo 'bytes_alloc > 8192' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 8192
# mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1
# echo 'bytes_alloc > 2048' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 2048
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 2048
Setting the filter in tracing/instances/test1/events shouldn't affect
the same event in tracing/events as it does above.
After:
# echo 'bytes_alloc > 8192' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 8192
# mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1
# echo 'bytes_alloc > 2048' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 8192
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 2048
We'd like to just move the filter directly from ftrace_event_call to
ftrace_event_file, but there are a couple cases that don't yet have
multibuffer support and therefore have to continue using the current
event_call-based filters. For those cases, a new USE_CALL_FILTER bit
is added to the event_call flags, whose main purpose is to keep the
old behavior for those cases until they can be updated with
multibuffer support; at that point, the USE_CALL_FILTER flag (and the
new associated call_filter_check_discard() function) can go away.
The multibuffer support also made filter_current_check_discard()
redundant, so this change removes that function as well and replaces
it with filter_check_discard() (or call_filter_check_discard() as
appropriate).

The changes for 3.12 are mostly clean ups and minor fixes.

Oleg Nesterov had a few changes from 3.11, but were mostly clean ups

There are several tracepoints (mostly in RCU), that reference a string
pointer and uses the print format of "%s" to display the string that
exists in the kernel, instead of copying the actual string to the
ring buffer (saves time and ring buffer space).
But this has an issue with userspace tools that read the binary buffers
that has the address of the string but has no access to what the string
itself is. The end result is just output that looks like:
rcu_dyntick: ffffffff818adeaa 1 0
rcu_dyntick: ffffffff818adeb5 0 140000000000000
rcu_dyntick: ffffffff818adeb5 0 140000000000000
rcu_utilization: ffffffff8184333b
rcu_utilization: ffffffff8184333b
The above is pretty useless when read by the userspace tools. Ideally
we would want something that looks like this:
rcu_dyntick: Start 1 0
rcu_dyntick: End 0 140000000000000
rcu_dyntick: Start 140000000000000 0
rcu_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880037aff710 func=put_cred_rcu 0/4
rcu_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880078961980 func=file_free_rcu 0/5
rcu_dyntick: End 0 1
The trace_printk() which also only stores the address of the string
format instead of recording the string into the buffer itself, exports
the mapping of kernel addresses to format strings via the printk_format
file in the debugfs tracing directory.
The tracepoint strings can use this same method and output the format
to the same file and the userspace tools will be able to decipher
the address without any modification.
The tracepoint strings need its own section to save the strings because
the trace_printk section will cause the trace_printk() buffers to be
allocated if anything exists within the section. trace_printk() is only
used for debugging and should never exist in the kernel, we can not use
the trace_printk sections.
Add a new tracepoint_str section that will also be examined by the output
of the printk_format file.

After the previous changes trace_array_cpu->trace_cpu and
trace_array->trace_cpu becomes write-only. Remove these members
and kill "struct trace_cpu" as well.
As a side effect this also removes memset(per_cpu_memory, 0).
It was not needed, alloc_percpu() returns zero-filled memory.

The selftest for function and function graph tracers are defined as
__init, as they are only executed at boot up. The "tracer" structs
that are associated to those tracers are not setup as __init as they
are used after boot. To stop mismatch warnings, those structures
need to be annotated with __ref_data.
Currently, the tracer structures are defined to __read_mostly, as they
do not really change. But in the future they should be converted to
consts, but that will take a little work because they have a "next"
pointer that gets updated when they are registered. That will have to
wait till the next major release.

Pull tracing changes from Steven Rostedt:
"The majority of the changes here are cleanups for the large changes
that were added to 3.10, which includes several bug fixes that have
been marked for stable.
As for new features, there were a few, but nothing to write to LWN
about. These include:
New function trigger called "dump" and "cpudump" that will cause
ftrace to dump its buffer to the console when the function is called.
The difference between "dump" and "cpudump" is that "dump" will dump
the entire contents of the ftrace buffer, where as "cpudump" will only
dump the contents of the ftrace buffer for the CPU that called the
function.
Another small enhancement is a new sysctl switch called
"traceoff_on_warning" which, when enabled, will disable tracing if any
WARN_ON() is triggered. This is useful if you want to debug what
caused a warning and do not want to risk losing your trace data by the
ring buffer overwriting the data before you can disable it. There's
also a kernel command line option that will make this enabled at boot
up called the same thing"

Commit a695cb5816 "tracing: Prevent deleting instances when they are being read"
tried to fix a race between deleting a trace instance and reading contents
of a trace file. But it wasn't good enough. The following could crash the kernel:
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances
# ( while :; do mkdir foo; rmdir foo; done ) &
# ( while :; do echo 1 > foo/events/sched/sched_switch 2> /dev/null; done ) &
Luckily this can only be done by root user, but it should be fixed regardless.
The problem is that a delete of the file can happen after the write to the event
is opened, but before the enabling happens.
The solution is to make sure the trace_array is available before succeeding in
opening for write, and incerment the ref counter while opened.
Now the instance can be deleted when the events are writing to the buffer,
but the deletion of the instance will disable all events before the instance
is actually deleted.

If the kernel command line ftrace filter parameters are set
(ftrace_filter or ftrace_notrace), force the function self test to
pass, with a warning why it was forced.
If the user adds a filter to the kernel command line, it is assumed
that they know what they are doing, and the self test should just not
run instead of failing (which disables function tracing) or clearing
the filter, as that will probably annoy the user.
If the user wants the selftest to run, the message will tell them why
it did not.

Outputting formats of x86-tsc and counter should be a raw format, but after
applying the patch(2b6080f28c), the format was
changed to nanosec. This is because the global variable trace_clock_id was used.
When we use multiple buffers, clock_id of each sub-buffer should be used. Then,
this patch uses tr->clock_id instead of the global variable trace_clock_id.
[ Basically, this fixes a regression where the multibuffer code changed the
trace_clock file to update tr->clock_id but the traces still use the old
global trace_clock_id variable, negating the file's effect. The global
trace_clock_id variable is obsolete and removed. - SR ]

struct uprobe_trace_entry_head has a single member for reporting,

create another struct which has "func" and "ret_ip" and duplicate
a lot of functions, like trace_kprobe.c does.
To avoid this copy-and-paste horror we turn ->ip into ->vaddr[]
and add couple of trivial helpers to calculate sizeof/data. This
uglifies the code a bit, but this allows us to avoid a lot more
complications later, when we add the support for ret-probes.
