1c5eb4481e tracing: Rename trace_buffer to array_buffer
As we are working to remove the generic "ring_buffer" name that is used by
both tracing and perf, the ring_buffer name for tracing will be renamed to
trace_buffer, and perf's ring buffer will be renamed to perf_buffer.

As there already exists a trace_buffer that is used by the trace_arrays, it
needs to be first renamed to array_buffer.

52fde6e70c function_graph: Have selftest also emulate tr->reset() as it did with tr->init()
The function_graph boot up self test emulates the tr->init() function in
order to add a wrapper around the function graph tracer entry code to test
for lock ups and such. But it does not emulate the tr->reset(), and just
calls the function_graph tracer tr->reset() function which will use its own
fgraph_ops to unregister function tracing with. As the fgraph_ops is
becoming more meaningful with the register_ftrace_graph() and
unregister_ftrace_graph() functions, the two need to be the same. The
emulated tr->init() uses its own fgraph_ops descriptor, which means the
unregister_ftrace_graph() must use the same ftrace_ops, which the selftest
currently does not do. By emulating the tr->reset() as the selftest does
with the tr->init() it will be able to pass the same fgraph_ops descriptor
to the unregister_ftrace_graph() as it did with the register_ftrace_graph().

688f7089d8 fgraph: Add new fgraph_ops structure to enable function graph hooks
Currently the registering of function graph is to pass in a entry and return
function. We need to have a way to associate those functions together where
the entry can determine to run the return hook. Having a structure that
contains both functions will facilitate the process of converting the code
to be able to do such.

This is similar to the way function hooks are enabled (it passes in
ftrace_ops). Instead of passing in the functions to use, a single structure
is passed in to the registering function.

The unregister function is now passed in the fgraph_ops handle. When we
allow more than one callback to the function graph hooks, this will let the
system know which one to remove.

b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

c3b5b6ed1e tracing: mark trace_test_buffer as __maybe_unused
After trace_selftest_startup_sched_switch is removed, trace_test_buffer()
is only used sometimes, leading to this warning:

kernel/trace/trace_selftest.c:62:12: error: 'trace_test_buffer' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]

There is no simple #ifdef condition that captures well whether the
function is in fact used or not, so marking it as __maybe_unused is
probably the best way to shut up the warning. The function will then
be silently dropped when there is no user.

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

If the user wants the selftest to run, the message will tell them why

7fe70b579c tracing: Fix ftrace_dump()
ftrace_dump() had a lot of issues. What ftrace_dump() does, is when
ftrace_dump_on_oops is set (via a kernel parameter or sysctl), it
will dump out the ftrace buffers to the console when either a oops,
panic, or a sysrq-z occurs.

This was written a long time ago when ftrace was fragile to recursion.
But it wasn't written well even for that.

There's a possible deadlock that can occur if a ftrace_dump() is happening
and an NMI triggers another dump. This is because it grabs a lock
before checking if the dump ran.

It also totally disables ftrace, and tracing for no good reasons.

As the ring_buffer now checks if it is read via a oops or NMI, where
there's a chance that the buffer gets corrupted, it will disable
itself. No need to have ftrace_dump() do the same.

ftrace_dump() is now cleaned up where it uses an atomic counter to
make sure only one dump happens at a time. A simple atomic_inc_return()
is enough that is needed for both other CPUs and NMIs. No need for
a spinlock, as if one CPU is running the dump, no other CPU needs
to do it too.

The tracing_on variable is turned off and not turned on. The original
code did this, but it wasn't pretty. By just disabling this variable
we get the result of not seeing traces that happen between crashes.

For sysrq-z, it doesn't get turned on, but the user can always write
a '1' to the tracing_on file. If they are using sysrq-z, then they should
know about tracing_on.

The new code is much easier to read and less error prone. No more
deadlock possibility when an NMI triggers here.

12883efb67 tracing: Consolidate max_tr into main trace_array structure
Currently, the way the latency tracers and snapshot feature works
is to have a separate trace_array called "max_tr" that holds the
snapshot buffer. For latency tracers, this snapshot buffer is used
to swap the running buffer with this buffer to save the current max
latency.

The only items needed for the max_tr is really just a copy of the buffer
itself, the per_cpu data pointers, the time_start timestamp that states
when the max latency was triggered, and the cpu that the max latency
was triggered on. All other fields in trace_array are unused by the
max_tr, making the max_tr mostly bloat.

This change removes the max_tr completely, and adds a new structure
called trace_buffer, that holds the buffer pointer, the per_cpu data
pointers, the time_start timestamp, and the cpu where the latency occurred.

The trace_array, now has two trace_buffers, one for the normal trace and
one for the max trace or snapshot. By doing this, not only do we remove
the bloat from the max_trace but the instances of traces can now use
their own snapshot feature and not have just the top level global_trace have
the snapshot feature and latency tracers for itself.

it to CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS. This also introduces
CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS which indicates
the architecture depending part of ftrace has a code
that saves full registers.
On the other hand, CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS indicates
the code is enabled.

0d5c6e1c19 tracing: Use irq_work for wake ups and remove *_nowake_*() functions
Have the ring buffer commit function use the irq_work infrastructure to
wake up any waiters waiting on the ring buffer for new data. The irq_work
was created for such a purpose, where doing the actual wake up at the
time of adding data is too dangerous, as an event or function trace may
be in the midst of the work queue locks and cause deadlocks. The irq_work
will either delay the action to the next timer interrupt, or trigger an IPI
to itself forcing an interrupt to do the work (in a safe location).

With irq_work, all ring buffer commits can safely do wakeups, removing
the need for the ring buffer commit "nowake" variants, which were used
by events and function tracing. All commits can now safely use the
normal commit, and the "nowake" variants can be removed.
