ee000b7f9f tracing: use union for multi-usages field
Impact: cleanup

struct dyn_ftrace::ip has different usages in his lifecycle,
we use union for it. And also for struct dyn_ftrace::flags.

8aef2d2856 function-graph: ignore times across schedule
Impact: more accurate timings

The current method of function graph tracing does not take into
account the time spent when a task is not running. This shows functions
that call schedule have increased costs:

 3) + 18.664 us   |      }
 ------------------------------------------
 3)    <idle>-0    =>  kblockd-123
 ------------------------------------------

 3)               |      finish_task_switch() {
 3)   1.441 us    |        _spin_unlock_irq();
 3)   3.966 us    |      }
 3) ! 2959.433 us |    }
 3) ! 2961.465 us |  }

This patch uses the tracepoint in the scheduling context switch to
account for time that has elapsed while a task is scheduled out.
Now we see:

 ------------------------------------------
 3)    <idle>-0    =>  edac-po-1067
 ------------------------------------------

 3)               |      finish_task_switch() {
 3)   0.685 us    |        _spin_unlock_irq();
 3)   2.331 us    |      }
 3) + 41.439 us   |    }
 3) + 42.663 us   |  }

c0f92ba99b debugfs: function to know if debugfs is initialized
Impact: add new debugfs API

With ftrace, some tracers are registered in early initcalls
and attempt to create files on the debugfs filesystem.
Depending on when they are activated, they can try to create their
file at any time. Some checks can be done on the tracing area
but providing a helper to know if debugfs is registered make it
really more easy.

76a67ec6fb nfsd: nfsd should drop CAP_MKNOD for non-root
Since creating a device node is normally an operation requiring special
privilege, Igor Zhbanov points out that it is surprising (to say the
least) that a client can, for example, create a device node on a
filesystem exported with root_squash.

So, make sure CAP_MKNOD is among the capabilities dropped when an nfsd
thread handles a request from a non-root user.

bed1ffca02 tracing/syscalls: core infrastructure for syscalls tracing, enhancements
Impact: new feature

This adds the generic support for syscalls tracing. This is
currently exploited through a devoted tracer but other tracing
engines can use it. (They just have to play with
{start,stop}_ftrace_syscalls() and use the display callbacks
unless they want to override them.)

The syscalls prototypes definitions are abused here to steal
some metadata informations:

- syscall name, param types, param names, number of params

The syscall addr is not directly saved during this definition
because we don't know if its prototype is available in the
namespace. But we don't really need it. The arch has just to
build a function able to resolve the syscall number to its
metadata struct.

The current tracer prints the syscall names, parameters names
and values (and their types optionally). Currently the value is
a raw hex but higher level values diplaying is on my TODO list.

48ead02030 tracing/core: bring back raw trace_printk for dynamic formats strings
Impact: fix callsites with dynamic format strings

Since its new binary implementation, trace_printk() internally uses static
containers for the format strings on each callsites. But the value is
assigned once at build time, which means that it can't take dynamic
formats.

So this patch unearthes the raw trace_printk implementation for the callers
that will need trace_printk to be able to carry these dynamic format
strings. The trace_printk() macro will use the appropriate implementation
for each callsite. Most of the time however, the binary implementation will
still be used.

The other impact of this patch is that mmiotrace_printk() will use the old
implementation because it calls the low level trace_vprintk and we can't
guess here whether the format passed in it is dynamic or not.

Some parts of this patch have been written by Steven Rostedt (most notably
the part that chooses the appropriate implementation for each callsites).

On ARM it doesn't make sense to trace a naked function because then
mcount is called without stack and frame pointer being set up and there
is no chance to restore the lr register to the value before mcount was
called.

c826a31457 [SCSI] fcoe: Out of order tx frames was causing several check condition SCSI status

	[sdp] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE,SUGGEST_OK
	[sdp] Sense Key : Aborted Command [current]
	[sdp] Add. Sense: Data phase error

This was causing some test apps to exit due to write failure under heavy
load.

This was due to a race around adding and removing tx frame skb in
fcoe_pending_queue, Chris Leech helped me to find that brief unlocking
period when pulling skb from fcoe_pending_queue in various contexts
(fcoe_watchdog and fcoe_xmit) and then adding skb back into fcoe_pending_queue
up on a failed fcoe_start_io could change skb/tx frame order in
fcoe_pending_queue. Thanks Chris.

This patch allows only single context to pull skb from fcoe_pending_queue
at any time to prevent above described ordering issue/race by use of
fcoe_pending_queue_active flag.

This patch simplified fcoe_watchdog with modified fcoe_check_wait_queue by
use of FCOE_LOW_QUEUE_DEPTH instead previously used several conditionals
to clear and set lp->qfull.

I think FCOE_MAX_QUEUE_DEPTH with FCOE_LOW_QUEUE_DEPTH  will work better
in re/setting lp->qfull and these could be fine tuned for performance.

unneeded/undesirable cast of void*.  There are probably zillions of

This whole inline function was unnecessary. The FCoE layer knows
that it's data structure is stored in the lport private data, it

34f42a070f [SCSI] libfc, fcoe: Fix kerneldoc comments
1) Added '()' for function names in kerneldoc comments

2) Changed comment bookends from '**/' to '*/'. The comment on the the
   mailing list was that '**/' "is consistently unconventional.  Not
   wrong, just odd." The Documentation/kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt
   states that kerneldoc comment blocks should end with '**/' but most
   (if not all) instance I found under drivers/scsi/ were only using
   the '*/' so I converted to that style.

3) Removed incorrect linebreaks in kerneldoc comments where found

4) Removed a few unnecessary blank comment lines in kerneldoc comment
   blocks

157587d7ac tracing: remove obsolete TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro
Impact: clean up

The TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro is no longer used by trace points
and only the DECLARE_TRACE, TRACE_FORMAT or TRACE_EVENT macros should
be used by them. Although the TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro is still used
by the internal tracing utility, it should not be used in core
kernel code.

d6e2ca4c05 tracing: convert irq trace points to new macros
Impact: enhancement

Converted the two irq trace point macros. The entry macro copies
the name of the irq handler, thus it is better to simply use the
TRACE_FORMAT macro which uses the trace_printk.

The return of the handler does not need to record the name, thus
the faster C style handler is more approriate.

da4d03020c tracing: new format for specialized trace points
Impact: clean up and enhancement

The TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro looks quite ugly and is limited in its
ability to save data as well as to print the record out. Working with
Ingo Molnar, we came up with a new format that is much more pleasing to
the eye of C developers. This new macro is more C style than the old
macro, and is more obvious to what it does.

Here's the example. The only updated macro in this patch is the
sched_switch trace point.

The old method looked like this:

 TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_switch,
        TP_PROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev,
                struct task_struct *next),
        TP_ARGS(rq, prev, next),
        TP_FMT("task %s:%d ==> %s:%d",
              prev->comm, prev->pid, next->comm, next->pid),
        TRACE_STRUCT(
                TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, prev_pid, prev->pid)
                TRACE_FIELD(int, prev_prio, prev->prio)
                TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL(char next_comm[TASK_COMM_LEN],
                                    next_comm,
                                    TP_CMD(memcpy(TRACE_ENTRY->next_comm,
                                                 next->comm,
                                                 TASK_COMM_LEN)))
                TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, next_pid, next->pid)
                TRACE_FIELD(int, next_prio, next->prio)
        ),
        TP_RAW_FMT("prev %d:%d ==> next %s:%d:%d")
        );

The above method is hard to read and requires two format fields.

The new method:

 /*
  * Tracepoint for task switches, performed by the scheduler:
  *
  * (NOTE: the 'rq' argument is not used by generic trace events,
  *        but used by the latency tracer plugin. )
  */
 TRACE_EVENT(sched_switch,

	TP_PROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev,
		 struct task_struct *next),

	TP_ARGS(rq, prev, next),

	TP_STRUCT__entry(
		__array(	char,	prev_comm,	TASK_COMM_LEN	)
		__field(	pid_t,	prev_pid			)
		__field(	int,	prev_prio			)
		__array(	char,	next_comm,	TASK_COMM_LEN	)
		__field(	pid_t,	next_pid			)
		__field(	int,	next_prio			)
	),

	TP_printk("task %s:%d [%d] ==> %s:%d [%d]",
		__entry->prev_comm, __entry->prev_pid, __entry->prev_prio,
		__entry->next_comm, __entry->next_pid, __entry->next_prio),

	TP_fast_assign(
		memcpy(__entry->next_comm, next->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN);
		__entry->prev_pid	= prev->pid;
		__entry->prev_prio	= prev->prio;
		memcpy(__entry->prev_comm, prev->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN);
		__entry->next_pid	= next->pid;
		__entry->next_prio	= next->prio;
	)
 );

This macro is called TRACE_EVENT, it is broken up into 5 parts:

 TP_PROTO:        the proto type of the trace point
 TP_ARGS:         the arguments of the trace point
 TP_STRUCT_entry: the structure layout of the entry in the ring buffer
 TP_printk:       the printk format
 TP_fast_assign:  the method used to write the entry into the ring buffer

The structure is the definition of how the event will be saved in the
ring buffer. The printk is used by the internal tracing in case of
an oops, and the kernel needs to print out the format of the record
to the console. This the TP_printk gives a means to show the records
in a human readable format. It is also used to print out the data
from the trace file.

The TP_fast_assign is executed directly. It is basically like a C function,
where the __entry is the handle to the record.
