Impact: clean up
Now that ftrace_lock is a mutex, there is no reason to have three
different mutexes protecting similar data. All the mutex paths
are not in hot paths, so having a mutex to cover more data is
not a problem.
This patch removes the ftrace_sysctl_lock and ftrace_start_lock
and uses the ftrace_lock to protect the locations that were protected
by these locks. By doing so, this change also removes some of
the lock nesting that was taking place.
There are still more mutexes in ftrace.c that can probably be
consolidated, but they can be dealt with later. We need to be careful
about the way the locks are nested, and by consolidating, we can cause
a recursive deadlock.

Impact: clean up
The older versions of ftrace required doing the ftrace list
search under atomic context. Now all the calls are in non-atomic
context. There is no reason to keep the ftrace_lock as a spinlock.
This patch converts it to a mutex.

Allow for other tracers to add their own commands for function
selection. This interface gives a trace the ability to name a
command for function selection. Right now it is pretty limited
in what it offers, but this is a building step for more features.
The :mod: command is converted to this interface and also serves
as a template for other implementations.

Impact: fix to prevent empty set_ftrace_filter and no ftrace output
The function filter is used to only trace a given set of functions.
The filter is enabled when a function name is echoed into the
set_ftrace_filter file. But if the name has a typo and the function
is not found, the filter is enabled, but no function is listed.
This makes a confusing situation where set_ftrace_filter is empty
but no functions ever get enabled for tracing.
For example:
# cat /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
#### all functions enabled ####
# echo bad_name > set_ftrace_filter
# cat /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
# echo function > current_tracer
# cat trace
# tracer: nop
#
# TASK-PID CPU# TIMESTAMP FUNCTION
# | | | | |
This patch changes that to only enable filtering if a function
is set to be filtered on. Now, the filter is not enabled if
a bad name is echoed into set_ftrace_filter.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
This patch adds a "command" syntax to the function filtering files:
/debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
/debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_notrace
Of the format: <function>:<command>:<parameter>
The command is optional, and dependent on the command, so are
the parameters.
echo do_fork > set_ftrace_filter
Will only trace 'do_fork'.
echo 'sched_*' > set_ftrace_filter
Will only trace functions starting with the letters 'sched_'.
echo '*:mod:ext3' > set_ftrace_filter
Will trace only the ext3 module functions.
echo '*write*:mod:ext3' > set_ftrace_notrace
Will prevent the ext3 functions with the letters 'write' in
the name from being traced.
echo '!*_allocate:mod:ext3' > set_ftrace_filter
Will remove the functions in ext3 that end with the letters
'_allocate' from the ftrace filter.
Although this patch implements the 'command' format, only the
'mod' command is supported. More commands to follow.

Impact: clean up
ftrace_match_records does a lot of things that other features
can use. This patch breaks up ftrace_match_records and pulls
out ftrace_setup_glob and ftrace_match_record.
ftrace_setup_glob prepares a simple glob expression for use with
ftrace_match_record. ftrace_match_record compares a single record
with a glob type.
Breaking this up will allow for more features to run on individual
records.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
Impact: clean up
ftrace_match is too generic of a name. What it really does is
search all records and matches the records with the given string,
and either sets or unsets the functions to be traced depending
on if the parameter 'enable' is set or not.
This allows us to make another function called ftrace_match that
can be used to test a single record.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
Impact: clean up
To iterate over all the functions that dynamic trace knows about
it requires two for loops. One to iterate over the pages and the
other to iterate over the records within the page.
There are several duplications of these loops in ftrace.c. This
patch creates the macros do_for_each_ftrace_rec and
while_for_each_ftrace_rec to handle this logic, and removes the
duplicate code.
While making this change, I also discovered and fixed a small
bug that one of the iterations should exit the loop after it found the
record it was searching for. This used a break when it should have
used a goto, since there were two loops it needed to break out
from. No real harm was done by this bug since it would only continue
to search the other records, and the code was in a slow path anyway.

Impact: clean up, make set_ftrace_filter less confusing

But when it is empty, it will trace all functions. This can be a bit

Impact: cosmetic change in Kconfig menu layout
This patch was originally suggested by Peter Zijlstra, but seems it
was forgotten.
CONFIG_MMIOTRACE and CONFIG_MMIOTRACE_TEST were selectable
directly under the Kernel hacking / debugging menu in the kernel
configuration system. They were present only for x86 and x86_64.
Other tracers that use the ftrace tracing framework are in their own
sub-menu. This patch moves the mmiotrace configuration options there.
Since the Kconfig file, where the tracer menu is, is not architecture
specific, HAVE_MMIOTRACE_SUPPORT is introduced and provided only by
x86/x86_64. CONFIG_MMIOTRACE now depends on it.

Here is another version, with the incremental patch rolled up, and
added reclaim context annotation to kswapd, and allocation tracing
to slab allocators (which may only ever reach the page allocator
in rare cases, so it is good to put annotations here too).
Haven't tested this version as such, but it should be getting closer
to merge worthy ;)
--
After noticing some code in mm/filemap.c accidentally perform a __GFP_FS
allocation when it should not have been, I thought it might be a good idea to
try to catch this kind of thing with lockdep.
I coded up a little idea that seems to work. Unfortunately the system has to
actually be in __GFP_FS page reclaim, then take the lock, before it will mark
it. But at least that might still be some orders of magnitude more common
(and more debuggable) than an actual deadlock condition, so we have some
improvement I hope (the concept is no less complete than discovery of a lock's
interrupt contexts).
I guess we could even do the same thing with __GFP_IO (normal reclaim), and
even GFP_NOIO locks too... but filesystems will have the most locks and fiddly
code paths, so let's start there and see how it goes.
It *seems* to work. I did a quick test.

While reviewing the manpages, I noticed I'd missed some clock vs timer sites.
Make sure that all timer functions call cpu_timer_sample_group() and not
cpu_clock_sample_group(). This ensures that we enable the process wide timer
in time, and therefore pay the O(n) thread group cost from the syscall.
Not doing it here, will result in the first jiffy tick after setting the timer
doing this, resulting in a very expensive tick (but only once) and a delay in
actually starting the timer.

I enabled all cgroup subsystems when compiling kernel, and then:

BUG: MAX_LOCKDEP_SUBCLASSES too low!
turning off the locking correctness validator.
It's caused by the cgroup hierarchy lock:
for (i = 0; i < CGROUP_SUBSYS_COUNT; i++) {
struct cgroup_subsys *ss = subsys[i];
if (ss->root == root)
mutex_lock_nested(&ss->hierarchy_mutex, i);
}

MAX_LOCKDEP_SUBCLASSES is 8.

When one cats the trace file, the leaf functions are printed without brackets:
function();
whereas in the trace_pipe file we'll see the following:
function() {
}
This is because the ring_buffer handling is not the same between those two files.
On the trace file, when an entry is printed, the iterator advanced and then we can
check the next entry.
There is no iterator with trace_pipe, the current entry to print has been peeked
and not consumed. So checking the next entry will still return the current one while
we don't consume it.
This patch introduces a new value for the output callbacks to ask the tracing
core to not consume the current entry after printing it.
We need it because we will have to consume the current entry ourself to check
the next one.
Now the trace_pipe is able to handle well the leaf functions.

Impact: prevent deadlock in NMI
The ring buffers are not yet totally lockless with writing to
the buffer. When a writer crosses a page, it grabs a per cpu spinlock
to protect against a reader. The spinlocks taken by a writer are not
to protect against other writers, since a writer can only write to
its own per cpu buffer. The spinlocks protect against readers that
can touch any cpu buffer. The writers are made to be reentrant
with the spinlocks disabling interrupts.
The problem arises when an NMI writes to the buffer, and that write
crosses a page boundary. If it grabs a spinlock, it can be racing
with another writer (since disabling interrupts does not protect
against NMIs) or with a reader on the same CPU. Luckily, most of the
users are not reentrant and protects against this issue. But if a
user of the ring buffer becomes reentrant (which is what the ring
buffers do allow), if the NMI also writes to the ring buffer then
we risk the chance of a deadlock.
This patch moves the ftrace_nmi_enter called by nmi_enter() to the
ring buffer code. It replaces the current ftrace_nmi_enter that is
used by arch specific code to arch_ftrace_nmi_enter and updates
the Kconfig to handle it.
When an NMI is called, it will set a per cpu variable in the ring buffer
code and will clear it when the NMI exits. If a write to the ring buffer
crosses page boundaries inside an NMI, a trylock is used on the spin
lock instead. If the spinlock fails to be acquired, then the entry
is discarded.
This bug appeared in the ftrace work in the RT tree, where event tracing
is reentrant. This workaround solved the deadlocks that appeared there.

Impact: fix to prevent developers from using entry->cpu
With the new ring buffer infrastructure, the cpu for the entry is
implicit with which CPU buffer it is on.
The original code use to record the current cpu into the generic
entry header, which can be retrieved by entry->cpu. When the
ring buffer was introduced, the users were convert to use the
the cpu number of which cpu ring buffer was in use (this was passed
to the tracers by the iterator: iter->cpu).
Unfortunately, the cpu item in the entry structure was never removed.
This allowed for developers to use it instead of the proper iter->cpu,
unknowingly, using an uninitialized variable. This was not the fault
of the developers, since it would seem like the logical place to
retrieve the cpu identifier.
This patch removes the cpu item from the entry structure and fixes
all the users that should have been using iter->cpu.

With exclusive waiters, every process woken up through the wait queue must
ensure that the next waiter down the line is woken when it has finished.
Interruptible waiters don't do that when aborting due to a signal. And if
an aborting waiter is concurrently woken up through the waitqueue, noone
will ever wake up the next waiter.
This has been observed with __wait_on_bit_lock() used by
lock_page_killable(): the first contender on the queue was aborting when
the actual lock holder woke it up concurrently. The aborted contender
didn't acquire the lock and therefor never did an unlock followed by
waking up the next waiter.
Add abort_exclusive_wait() which removes the process' wait descriptor from
the waitqueue, iff still queued, or wakes up the next waiter otherwise.
It does so under the waitqueue lock. Racing with a wake up means the
aborting process is either already woken (removed from the queue) and will
wake up the next waiter, or it will remove itself from the queue and the
concurrent wake up will apply to the next waiter after it.
Use abort_exclusive_wait() in __wait_event_interruptible_exclusive() and
__wait_on_bit_lock() when they were interrupted by other means than a wake
up through the queue.

Revert commit 0c2d64fb6c because it causes
(arguably poorly designed) existing userspace to spend interminable
periods closing billions of not-open file descriptors.
We could bring this back, with some sort of opt-in tunable in /proc, which
defaults to "off".
Peter's alanysis follows:
: I spent several hours trying to get to the bottom of a serious
: performance issue that appeared on one of our servers after upgrading to
: 2.6.28. In the end it's what could be considered a userspace bug that
: was triggered by a change in 2.6.28. Since this might also affect other
: people I figured I'd at least document what I found here, and maybe we
: can even do something about it:
:
:
: So, I upgraded some of debian.org's machines to 2.6.28.1 and immediately
: the team maintaining our ftp archive complained that one of their
: scripts that previously ran in a few minutes still hadn't even come
: close to being done after an hour or so. Downgrading to 2.6.27 fixed
: that.
:
: Turns out that script is forking a lot and something in it or python or
: whereever closes all the file descriptors it doesn't want to pass on.
: That is, it starts at zero and goes up to ulimit -n/RLIMIT_NOFILE and
: closes them all with a few exceptions.
:
: Turns out that takes a long time when your limit -n is now 2^20 (1048576).
:
: With 2.6.27.* the ulimit -n was the standard 1024, but with 2.6.28 it is
: now a thousand times that.
:
: 2.6.28 included a patch titled "rlimit: permit setting RLIMIT_NOFILE to
: RLIM_INFINITY" (0c2d64fb6c)[1] that
: allows, as the title implies, to set the limit for number of files to
: infinity.
:
: Closer investigation showed that the broken default ulimit did not apply
: to "system" processes (like stuff started from init). In the end I
: could establish that all processes that passed through pam_limit at one
: point had the bad resource limit.
:
: Apparently the pam library in Debian etch (4.0) initializes the limits
: to some default values when it doesn't have any settings in limit.conf
: to override them. Turns out that for nofiles this is RLIM_INFINITY.
: Commenting out "case RLIMIT_NOFILE" in pam_limit.c:267 of our pam
: package version 0.79-5 fixes that - tho I'm not sure what side effects
: that has.
:
: Debian lenny (the upcoming 5.0 version) doesn't have this issue as it
: uses a different pam (version).

Change the process wide cpu timers/clocks so that we:
1) don't mess up the kernel with too many threads,
2) don't have a per-cpu allocation for each process,
3) have no impact when not used.
In order to accomplish this we're going to split it into two parts:
- clocks; which can take all the time they want since they run
from user context -- ie. sys_clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID)
- timers; which need constant time sampling but since they're
explicity used, the user can pay the overhead.
The clock readout will go back to a full sum of the thread group, while the
timers will run of a global 'clock' that only runs when needed, so only
programs that make use of the facility pay the price.

Impact: make trace_event more convenient for tracers
All tracers (for the moment) that use the struct trace_event want to
have the context info printed before their own output: the pid/cmdline,
cpu, and timestamp.
But some other tracers that want to implement their trace_event
callbacks will not necessary need these information or they may want to
format them as they want.
This patch adds a new default-enabled trace option:
TRACE_ITER_CONTEXT_INFO When disabled through:
echo nocontext-info > /debugfs/tracing/trace_options
The pid, cpu and timestamps headers will not be printed.
IE with the sched_switch tracer with context-info (default):
bash-2935 [001] 100.356561: 2935:120:S ==> [001] 0:140:R <idle>
<idle>-0 [000] 100.412804: 0:140:R + [000] 11:115:S events/0
<idle>-0 [000] 100.412816: 0:140:R ==> [000] 11:115:R events/0
events/0-11 [000] 100.412829: 11:115:S ==> [000] 0:140:R <idle>
Without context-info:
2935:120:S ==> [001] 0:140:R <idle>
0:140:R + [000] 11:115:S events/0
0:140:R ==> [000] 11:115:R events/0
11:115:S ==> [000] 0:140:R <idle>
A tracer can disable it at runtime by clearing the bit
TRACE_ITER_CONTEXT_INFO in trace_flags.
The print routines were renamed to trace_print_context and
trace_print_lat_context, so that they can be used by tracers if they
want to use them for one of the trace_event callbacks.

Current refcounting for modules (done if CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y) is
using a lot of memory.
Each 'struct module' contains an [NR_CPUS] array of full cache lines.
This patch uses existing infrastructure (percpu_modalloc() &
percpu_modfree()) to allocate percpu space for the refcount storage.
Instead of wasting NR_CPUS*128 bytes (on i386), we now use
nr_cpu_ids*sizeof(local_t) bytes.
On a typical distro, where NR_CPUS=8, shiping 2000 modules, we reduce
size of module files by about 2 Mbytes. (1Kb per module)
Instead of having all refcounters in the same memory node - with TLB misses
because of vmalloc() - this new implementation permits to have better
NUMA properties, since each CPU will use storage on its preferred node,
thanks to percpu storage.

Similar to the previous patch, by not clearing buddies we can select entities
past their run quota, which can increase latency. This means we have to clear
group buddies as well.
Do not use the group clear for pick_next_task(), otherwise that'll get O(n^2).

It was noticed that a task could get re-elected past its run quota due to buddy
affinities. This could increase latency a little. Cure it by more aggresively
clearing buddy state.
We do so in two situations:
- when we force preempt
- when we select a buddy to run

Impact: prevent false positive WARN_ON() in clockevents_program_event()
clock_was_set() changes the base->offset of CLOCK_REALTIME and
enforces the reprogramming of the clockevent device to expire timers
which are based on CLOCK_REALTIME. If the clock change is large enough
then the subtraction of the timer expiry value and base->offset can
become negative which triggers the warning in
clockevents_program_event().
Check the subtraction result and set a negative value to 0.

Impact: fix CPU hotplug hang on Power6 testbox
On architectures that support offlining all cpus (at least powerpc/pseries),
hot-unpluging the tick_do_timer_cpu can result in a system hang.
This comes from the fact that if the cpu going down happens to be the
cpu doing the tick, then as the tick_do_timer_cpu handover happens after the
cpu is dead (via the CPU_DEAD notification), we're left without ticks,
jiffies are frozen and any task relying on timers (msleep, ...) is stuck.
That's particularly the case for the cpu looping in __cpu_die() waiting
for the dying cpu to be dead.
This patch addresses this by having the tick_do_timer_cpu handover happen
earlier during the CPU_DYING notification. For this, a new clockevent
notification type is introduced (CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_CPU_DYING) which is triggered
in hrtimer_cpu_notify().

Impact: avoid timer IRQ hanging slow systems
While using the function graph tracer on a virtualized system, the
hrtimer_interrupt can hang the system on an infinite loop.
This can be caused in several situations:
- the hardware is very slow and HZ is set too high
- something intrusive is slowing the system down (tracing under emulation)
... and the next clock events to program are always before the current time.
This patch implements a reasonable compromise: if such a situation is
detected, we share the CPUs time in 1/4 to process the hrtimer interrupts.
This is enough to let the system running without serious starvation.
It has been successfully tested under VirtualBox with 1000 HZ and 100 HZ
with function graph tracer launched. On both cases, the clock events were
increased until about 25 ms periodic ticks, which means 40 HZ.
So we change a hard to debug hang into a warning message and a system that
still manages to limp along.

The smp_call_function can be passed a wait parameter telling it to
wait for all the functions running on other CPUs to complete before
returning, or to return without waiting. Unfortunately, this is
currently just a suggestion and not manditory. That is, the
smp_call_function can decide not to return and wait instead.
The reason for this is because it uses kmalloc to allocate storage
to send to the called CPU and that CPU will free it when it is done.
But if we fail to allocate the storage, the stack is used instead.
This means we must wait for the called CPU to finish before
continuing.
Unfortunatly, some callers do no abide by this hint and act as if
the non-wait option is mandatory. The MTRR code for instance will
deadlock if the smp_call_function is set to wait. This is because
the smp_call_function will wait for the other CPUs to finish their
called functions, but those functions are waiting on the caller to
continue.
This patch changes the generic smp_call_function code to use per cpu
variables if the allocation of the data fails for a single CPU call. The
smp_call_function_many will fall back to the smp_call_function_single
if it fails its alloc. The smp_call_function_single is modified
to not force the wait state.
Since we now are using a single data per cpu we must synchronize the
callers to prevent a second caller modifying the data before the
first called IPI functions complete. To do so, I added a flag to
the call_single_data called CSD_FLAG_LOCK. When the single CPU is
called (which can be called when a many call fails an alloc), we
set the LOCK bit on this per cpu data. When the caller finishes
it clears the LOCK bit.
The caller must wait till the LOCK bit is cleared before setting
it. When it is cleared, there is no IPI function using it.

Impact: New way of using the blktrace infrastructure
This drops the requirement of userspace utilities to use the blktrace
facility.
Configuration is done thru sysfs, adding a "trace" directory to the
partition directory where blktrace can be enabled for the associated
request_queue.
The same filters present in the IOCTL interface are present as sysfs
device attributes.
The /sys/block/sdX/sdXN/trace/enable file allows tracing without any
filters.
The other files in this directory: pid, act_mask, start_lba and end_lba
can be used with the same meaning as with the IOCTL interface.
Using the sysfs interface will only setup the request_queue->blk_trace
fields, tracing will only take place when the "blk" tracer is selected
via the ftrace interface, as in the following example:
To see the trace, one can use the /d/tracing/trace file or the
/d/tracign/trace_pipe file, with semantics defined in the ftrace
documentation in Documentation/ftrace.txt.

[root@f10-1 ~]#
The default line context (prefix) format is the one described in the ftrace
documentation, with the blktrace specific bits using its existing format,
described in blkparse(8).
If one wants to have the classic blktrace formatting, this is possible by
using:
[root@f10-1 ~]# echo blk_classic > /t/trace_options
[root@f10-1 ~]# cat /t/trace
8,1 0 3046.491224 305 A WBS 6367 + 8 <- (8,1) 6304

8,1 0 3046.511914 0 C RS 6367 + 8 [6367]
[root@f10-1 ~]#
Using the ftrace standard format allows more flexibility, such
as the ability of asking for backtraces via trace_options:
[root@f10-1 ~]# echo noblk_classic > /t/trace_options
[root@f10-1 ~]# echo stacktrace > /t/trace_options
[root@f10-1 ~]# cat /t/trace

- Drop the first irrelevant task switch on the very beginning of a trace.
- Drop the OVERHEAD word from the headers, the DURATION word is sufficient
and will not overlap other columns.
- Make the headers fit well their respective columns whatever the
selected options.
Ie, default options:
# tracer: function_graph
#
# CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS
# | | | | | | |

echo nofuncgraph-cpu > trace_options
echo nofuncgraph-proc > trace_options
# tracer: function_graph

# DURATION FUNCTION CALLS
# | | | | | |
3.752 us | native_pud_val();
0.616 us | native_pud_val();
0.624 us | native_pmd_val();
About features, one can now disable the duration (this will hide the
overhead too for convenient reasons and because on doesn't need
overhead if it hasn't the duration):
echo nofuncgraph-duration > trace_options
# tracer: function_graph
#
# FUNCTION CALLS
# | | | |
cap_vm_enough_memory() {
__vm_enough_memory() {
vm_acct_memory();
}
}
}
And at last, an option to print the absolute time:
//Restart from default options
echo funcgraph-abstime > trace_options
# tracer: function_graph
#
# TIME CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS
# | | | | | | | |
261.339774 | 1) + 42.823 us | }

261.339778 | 1) 0.752 us | _spin_unlock_irqrestore();
261.339780 | 1) 0.857 us | _spin_unlock_irq();

261.339786 | 1) 0.842 us | _spin_unlock_irqrestore();
261.339788 | 1) 4.211 us | }
261.339788 | 1) 5.662 us | }
The format is seconds.usecs.
I guess no one needs the nanosec precision here, the main goal is to have
an overview about the general timings of events, and to see the place when
the trace switches from one cpu to another.
ie:
274.874760 | 1) 0.676 us | _spin_unlock();
274.874762 | 1) 0.609 us | native_load_sp0();
274.874763 | 1) 0.602 us | native_load_tls();
274.878739 | 0) 0.722 us | }
274.878740 | 0) 0.714 us | native_pmd_val();
274.878741 | 0) 0.730 us | native_pmd_val();
Here there is a 4000 usecs difference when we switch the cpu.

Impact: fix to preempt trace triggering lockdep check_flag failure
In local_bh_disable, the use of add_preempt_count causes the
preempt tracer to start recording the time preemption is off.
But because it already modified the preempt_count to show
softirqs disabled, and before it called the lockdep code to
handle this, it causes a state that lockdep can not handle.
The preempt tracer will reset the ring buffer on start of a trace,
and the ring buffer reset code does a spin_lock_irqsave. This
calls into lockdep and lockdep will fail when it detects the
invalid state of having softirqs disabled but the internal
current->softirqs_enabled is still set.
The fix is to manually add the SOFTIRQ_OFFSET to preempt count
and call the preempt tracer code outside the lockdep critical
area.
Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for suggesting this solution.

Impact: fix bad times of recent resets
The ring buffer needs to reset its timestamps when reseting of the
buffer, otherwise the timestamps are stale and might be used to
calculate times in the buffer causing funny timestamps to appear.

Impact: add option to trace all tasks or just RT tasks
The current wakeup tracer only traces RT task wakeups. This is
fine for those interested in wake up timings of RT tasks, but
it is useless for those that are interested in the causes
of long wakeups for non RT tasks.
This patch creates a "wakeup_rt" to implement the tracing of just
RT tasks (as the current "wakeup" does). And makes "wakeup" now
trace all tasks as an average developer would expect.

Impact: fix to erased trace output
To try not to have the outputing of a trace interfere with the wakeup
tracer, it would disable tracing while the output was printing. But
if a trace had started when it was disabled, it can show a partial
trace. To try to solve this, on closing of the tracer, it would
clear the trace buffer.
The latency tracers (wakeup and irqsoff) have two buffers. One for
recording and one for holding the max trace that is printed. The
clearing of the trace above should only affect the recording buffer.
But for some reason it would move the erased trace to the print
buffer. Probably due to a race with the closing of the trace and
the saving ofhe max race.
The above is all pretty useless, and if the user does not want the
printing of the trace to be traced itself, then the user can manual
disable tracing. This patch removes all the code that tries to keep
the output of the tracer from modifying the trace.

Impact: trace max latencies on start of latency tracing
This patch sets the max latency to zero whenever one of the
irq variant tracers or the wakeup tracer is set to current tracer.
Most developers expect to see output when starting up a latency
tracer. But since the max_latency is already set to max, and
it takes a latency greater than max_latency to be recorded, there
is no trace. This is not the expected behavior and has even confused
myself.

Impact: limit ftrace dump output
Currently ftrace_dump only calls ftrace_kill that is a fast way
to prevent the function tracer functions from being called (just sets
a flag and clears the function to call, nothing else). It is better
to also turn off any recording to the ring buffers as well.

Impact: fix to print out ftrace_dump when expected
I was debugging a hard race condition to only find out that
after I hit the race, my log level was not at level to show
KERN_INFO. The time it took to trigger the race was wasted because
I did not capture the trace.
Since ftrace_dump is only called from kernel oops (and only when
it is set in the kernel command line to do so), or when a
developer adds it to their own local tree, the log level of
the print should be at KERN_EMERG to make sure the print appears.
ftrace_dump is not called by a normal user setup, and will not
add extra unwanted print out to the console. There is no reason
it should be at KERN_INFO.

Impact: fix a crash while kernel image restore
When the function graph tracer is running and while suspend to disk, some racy
and dangerous things happen against this tracer.
The current task will save its registers including the stack pointer which
contains the return address hooked by the tracer. But the current task will
continue to enter other functions after that to save the memory, and then
it will store other return addresses, and finally loose the old depth which
matches the return address saved in the old stack (during the registers saving).
So on image restore, the code will return to wrong addresses.
And there are other things: on restore, the task will have it's "current"
pointer overwritten during registers restoring....switching from one task to
another... That would be insane to try to trace function graphs at these
stages.
This patch makes the function graph tracer listening on power events, making
it's tracing disabled for the current task (the one that performs the
hibernation work) while suspend/resume to disk, making the tracing safe
during hibernation.

When doing large allocations (larger than the per-device coherent area)
the generic memory allocators are silently fallen back on regardless of
consideration for the per-device constraints.
In the DMA_MEMORY_EXCLUSIVE case falling back on generic memory is not
an option, as it tends not to be addressable by the DMA hardware in
question. This issue showed up with the 8139too breakage on the
Dreamcast, where non-addressable buffers were silently allocated due to
the size mismatch calculation -- while it should have simply errored out
upon being unable to satisfy the allocation with the given device
constraints.
This restores fall back behaviour to what it was before the oversized
request change caused multiple regressions.

Commit 58c6d3dfe4 ("dma-coherent: catch
oversized requests to dma_alloc_from_coherent()") attempted to add a
sanity check to bail out on allocations larger than the coherent area.
Unfortunately when this was implemented, the fact the coherent area
is tracked in pages rather than bytes was overlooked, which subsequently
broke every single dma_alloc_from_coherent() user, forcing the allocation
silently through generic memory instead.

Impact: fix to allow some archs to use the ring buffer
Commits in the ring buffer are checked by pointer arithmetic.
If the calculation is incorrect, then the commits will never take
place and the buffer will simply fill up and report an error.
Each page in the ring buffer has a small header:
struct buffer_data_page {
u64 time_stamp;
local_t commit;
unsigned char data[];
};
Unfortuntely, some of the calculations used sizeof(struct buffer_data_page)
to know the size of the header. But this is incorrect on some archs,
where sizeof(struct buffer_data_page) does not equal
offsetof(struct buffer_data_page, data), and on those archs, the commits
are never processed.
This patch replaces the sizeof with offsetof.

Lockdep reported some possible circular locking info when we tested cpuset on
NUMA/fake NUMA box.
=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.29-rc1-00224-ga652504 #111
-------------------------------------------------------
bash/2968 is trying to acquire lock:
(events){--..}, at: [<ffffffff8024c8cd>] flush_work+0x24/0xd8
but task is already holding lock:
(cgroup_mutex){--..}, at: [<ffffffff8026ad1e>] cgroup_lock_live_group+0x12/0x29
which lock already depends on the new lock.
......
-------------------------------------------------------
Steps to reproduce:
# mkdir /dev/cpuset
# mount -t cpuset xxx /dev/cpuset
# mkdir /dev/cpuset/0
# echo 0 > /dev/cpuset/0/cpus
# echo 0 > /dev/cpuset/0/mems
# echo 1 > /dev/cpuset/0/memory_migrate
# cat /dev/zero > /dev/null &
# echo $! > /dev/cpuset/0/tasks
This is because async_rebuild_sched_domains has the following lock sequence:
run_workqueue(async_rebuild_sched_domains)
-> do_rebuild_sched_domains -> cgroup_lock
But, attaching tasks when memory_migrate is set has following:
cgroup_lock_live_group(cgroup_tasks_write)
-> do_migrate_pages -> flush_work
This patch fixes it by using a separate workqueue thread.
