fd99498989 tracing: add raw fast tracing interface for trace events
This patch adds the interface to enable the C style trace points.
In the directory /debugfs/tracing/events/subsystem/event
We now have three files:

 enable : values 0 or 1 to enable or disable the trace event.

 available_types: values 'raw' and 'printf' which indicate the tracing
       types available for the trace point. If a developer does not
       use the TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro and just uses the TRACE_FORMAT
       macro, then only 'printf' will be available. This file is
       read only.

 type: values 'raw' or 'printf'. This indicates which type of tracing
       is active for that trace point. 'printf' is the default and
       if 'raw' is not available, this file is read only.

 # echo raw > /debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/type
 # echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/enable

 Will enable the C style tracing for the sched_wakeup trace point.

c32e827b25 tracing: add raw trace point recording infrastructure
Impact: lower overhead tracing

The current event tracer can automatically pick up trace points
that are registered with the TRACE_FORMAT macro. But it required
a printf format string and parsing. Although, this adds the ability
to get guaranteed information like task names and such, it took
a hit in overhead processing. This processing can add about 500-1000
nanoseconds overhead, but in some cases that too is considered
too much and we want to shave off as much from this overhead as
possible.

Tom Zanussi recently posted tracing patches to lkml that are based
on a nice idea about capturing the data via C structs using
STRUCT_ENTER, STRUCT_EXIT type of macros.

I liked that method very much, but did not like the implementation
that required a developer to add data/code in several disjoint
locations.

This patch extends the event_tracer macros to do a similar "raw C"
approach that Tom Zanussi did. But instead of having the developers
needing to tweak a bunch of code all over the place, they can do it
all in one macro - preferably placed near the code that it is
tracing. That makes it much more likely that tracepoints will be
maintained on an ongoing basis by the code they modify.

The new macro TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is created for this approach. (Note,
a developer may still utilize the more low level DECLARE_TRACE macros
if they don't care about getting their traces automatically in the event
tracer.)

They can also use the existing TRACE_FORMAT if they don't need to code
the tracepoint in C, but just want to use the convenience of printf.

So if the developer wants to "hardwire" a tracepoint in the fastest
possible way, and wants to acquire their data via a user space utility
in a raw binary format, or wants to see it in the trace output but not
sacrifice any performance, then they can implement the faster but
more complex TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro.

Here's what usage looks like:

  TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(name,
	TPPROTO(proto),
	TPARGS(args),
	TPFMT(fmt, fmt_args),
	TRACE_STUCT(
		TRACE_FIELD(type1, item1, assign1)
		TRACE_FIELD(type2, item2, assign2)
			[...]
	),
	TPRAWFMT(raw_fmt)
	);

Note name, proto, args, and fmt, are all identical to what TRACE_FORMAT
uses.

 name: is the unique identifier of the trace point
 proto: The proto type that the trace point uses
 args: the args in the proto type
 fmt: printf format to use with the event printf tracer
 fmt_args: the printf argments to match fmt

 TRACE_STRUCT starts the ability to create a structure.
 Each item in the structure is defined with a TRACE_FIELD

  TRACE_FIELD(type, item, assign)

 type: the C type of item.
 item: the name of the item in the stucture
 assign: what to assign the item in the trace point callback

 raw_fmt is a way to pretty print the struct. It must match
  the order of the items are added in TRACE_STUCT

 An example of this would be:

 TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_wakeup,
	TPPROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int success),
	TPARGS(rq, p, success),
	TPFMT("task %s:%d %s",
	      p->comm, p->pid, success?"succeeded":"failed"),
	TRACE_STRUCT(
		TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, pid, p->pid)
		TRACE_FIELD(int, success, success)
	),
	TPRAWFMT("task %d success=%d")
	);

 This creates us a unique struct of:

 struct {
	pid_t		pid;
	int		success;
 };

 And the way the call back would assign these values would be:

	entry->pid = p->pid;
	entry->success = success;

The nice part about this is that the creation of the assignent is done
via macro magic in the event tracer.  Once the TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is
created, the developer will then have a faster method to record
into the ring buffer. They do not need to worry about the tracer itself.

The developer would only need to touch the files in include/trace/*.h

Again, I would like to give special thanks to Tom Zanussi for this
nice idea.

ef5580d0ff tracing: add interface to write into current tracer buffer
Right now all tracers must manage their own trace buffers. This was
to enforce tracers to be independent in case we finally decide to
allow each tracer to have their own trace buffer.

But now we are adding event tracing that writes to the current tracer's
buffer. This adds an interface to allow events to write to the current
tracer buffer without having to manage its own. Since event tracing
has no "tracer", and is just a way to hook into any other tracer.

6ecc2d1ca3 tracing: add subsystem level to trace events
If a trace point header defines TRACE_SYSTEM, then it will add the
following trace points into that event system.

If include/trace/irq_event_types.h has:

 #define TRACE_SYSTEM irq

at the top and

 #undef TRACE_SYSTEM

at the bottom, then a directory "irq" will be created in the
/debug/tracing/events directory. Inside that directory will contain the
two trace points that are defined in include/trace/irq_event_types.h.

Only adding the above to irq and not to sched, we get:

 # ls /debug/tracing/events/
irq                     sched_process_exit  sched_signal_send  sched_wakeup_new
sched_kthread_stop      sched_process_fork  sched_switch
sched_kthread_stop_ret  sched_process_free  sched_wait_task
sched_migrate_task      sched_process_wait  sched_wakeup

 # ls /debug/tracing/events/irq
irq_handler_entry  irq_handler_exit

If we add #define TRACE_SYSTEM sched to the trace/sched_event_types.h
then the rest of the trace events will be put in a sched directory
within the events directory.

I've been playing with this idea of the subsystem for a while, but
recently Tom Zanussi posted some patches to lkml that included this
method. Tom's approach was clean and got me to finally put some effort
to clean up the event trace points.

Thanks to Tom Zanussi for demonstrating how nice the subsystem
method is.

eb594e45f6 tracing: move trace point formats to files in include/trace directory
Impact: clean up

To further facilitate the ease of adding trace points for developers, this
patch creates include/trace/trace_events.h and
include/trace/trace_event_types.h.

The former file will hold the trace/<type>.h files and the latter will hold
the trace/<type>_event_types.h files.

To create new tracepoints and to have them automatically
appear in the event tracer, a developer makes the trace/<type>.h file
which includes <linux/tracepoint.h> and the trace/<type>_event_types.h file.

The trace/<type>_event_types.h file will hold the TRACE_FORMAT
macros.

Then add the trace/<type>.h file to trace/trace_events.h,
and add the trace/<type>_event_types.h to the trace_event_types.h file.

No need to modify files elsewhere.

85a2f9b46f tracing: use pointer error returns for __tracing_open
Impact: fix compile warning and clean up

When I first wrote __tracing_open, instead of passing the error
code via the ERR_PTR macros, I lazily used a separate parameter
to hold the return for errors.

When Frederic Weisbecker updated that function, he used the Linux
kernel ERR_PTR for the returns. This caused the parameter return
to possibly not be initialized on error. gcc correctly pointed this
out with a warning.

This patch converts the entire function to use the Linux kernel
ERR_PTR macro methods.

d8e83d26b5 tracing: add protection around open use of current_tracer
Impact: fix to possible race conditions

There's some uses of current_tracer that is not protected by the
trace_types_lock. There is a small chance that a sysadmin changes
the tracer while the current_tracer is being referenced.

If the race is hit, it is unlikely to cause any harm since the
tracers are constant and are not freed. But some strang side
effects may occur.

d7350c3f45 tracing/core: make the read callbacks reentrants
Now that several per-cpu files can be read or spliced at the
same, we want the read/splice callbacks for tracing files to be
reentrants.

Until now, a single global mutex (trace_types_lock) serialized
the access to tracing_read_pipe(), tracing_splice_read_pipe(),
and the seq helpers.

Ie: it means that if a user tries to read trace_pipe0 and
trace_pipe1 at the same time, the access to the function
tracing_read_pipe() is contended and one reader must wait for
the other to finish its read call.

The trace_type_lock mutex is mostly here to serialize the access
to the global current tracer (current_trace), which can be
changed concurrently. Although the iter struct keeps a private
pointer to this tracer, its callbacks can be changed by another
function.

The method used here is to not keep anymore private reference to
the tracer inside the iterator but to make a copy of it inside
the iterator. Then it checks on subsequents read calls if the
tracer has changed. This is not costly because the current
tracer is not expected to be changed often, so we use a branch
prediction for that.

Moreover, we add a private mutex to the iterator (there is one
iterator per file descriptor) to serialize the accesses in case
of multiple consumers per file descriptor (which would be a
silly idea from the user). Note that this is not to protect the
ring buffer, since the ring buffer already serializes the
readers accesses. This is to prevent from traces weirdness in
case of concurrent consumers. But these mutexes can be dropped
anyway, that would not result in any crash. Just tell me what
you think about it.

b04cc6b1f6 tracing/core: introduce per cpu tracing files
Impact: split up tracing output per cpu

Currently, on the tracing debugfs directory, three files are
available to the user to let him extracting the trace output:

- trace is an iterator through the ring-buffer. It's a reader
  but not a consumer It doesn't block when no more traces are
  available.

- trace pretty similar to the former, except that it adds more
  informations such as prempt count, irq flag, ...

- trace_pipe is a reader and a consumer, it will also block
  waiting for traces if necessary (heh, yes it's a pipe).

The traces coming from different cpus are curretly mixed up
inside these files. Sometimes it messes up the informations,
sometimes it's useful, depending on what does the tracer
capture.

The tracing_cpumask file is useful to filter the output and
select only the traces captured a custom defined set of cpus.
But still it is not enough powerful to extract at the same time
one trace buffer per cpu.

So this patch creates a new directory: /debug/tracing/per_cpu/.

Inside this directory, you will now find one trace_pipe file and
one trace file per cpu.

Which means if you have two cpus, you will have:

 trace0
 trace1
 trace_pipe0
 trace_pipe1

And of course, reading these files will have the same effect
than with the usual tracing files, except that you will only see
the traces from the given cpu.

The original all-in-one cpu trace file are still available on
their original place.

Until now, only one consumer was allowed on trace_pipe to avoid
racy consuming on the ring-buffer. Now the approach changed a
bit, you can have only one consumer per cpu.

Which means you are allowed to read concurrently trace_pipe0 and
trace_pipe1 But you can't have two readers on trace_pipe0 or
trace_pipe1.

Following the same logic, if there is one reader on the common
trace_pipe, you can not have at the same time another reader on
trace_pipe0 or in trace_pipe1. Because in trace_pipe is already
a consumer in all cpu buffers in essence.

f3fe8e4a38 tracing: add schedule events to event trace
This patch changes the trace/sched.h to use the DECLARE_TRACE_FMT
such that they are automatically registered with the event tracer.

And it also adds the tracing sched headers to kernel/trace/events.c

b77e38aa24 tracing: add event trace infrastructure
This patch creates the event tracing infrastructure of ftrace.
It will create the files:

 /debug/tracing/available_events
 /debug/tracing/set_event

The available_events will list the trace points that have been
registered with the event tracer.

set_events will allow the user to enable or disable an event hook.

example:

 # echo sched_wakeup > /debug/tracing/set_event

Will enable the sched_wakeup event (if it is registered).

 # echo "!sched_wakeup" >> /debug/tracing/set_event

Will disable the sched_wakeup event (and only that event).

 # echo > /debug/tracing/set_event

Will disable all events (notice the '>')

 # cat /debug/tracing/available_events > /debug/tracing/set_event

Will enable all registered event hooks.

This patch creates a DEFINE_TRACE_FMT to map to DECLARE_TRACE.
This allows for the developers to place format strings and

i2c_algo_bit_data.timeout is supposed to be in jiffies, so drivers
should use set this value in terms of HZ.

Ultimately I think this field should be discarded in favor of
i2c_adapter.timeout, but that's left for a future patch.

cd97f39b7c i2c-dev: Clarify the unit of ioctl I2C_TIMEOUT
The unit in which user-space can set the bus timeout value is jiffies
for historical reasons (back when HZ was always 100.) This is however
not good because user-space doesn't know how long a jiffy lasts. The
timeout value should instead be set in a fixed time unit. Given the
original value of HZ, this unit should be 10 ms, for compatibility.

also be tested before the timeout. With the current order, you could

e73bf9f135 firedtv: dvb_frontend_info for FireDTV S2, fix "frequency limits undefined" error
I found that the function fdtv_frontend_init in the file firedtv-fe.c was
missing a case for FIREDTV_DVB_S2 which resulted in "frequency limits
undefined" errors in syslog.

Signed-off-by: Beat Michel Liechti <bml303@gmail.com>

Change by Stefan R: combine it with case case FIREDTV_DVB_S as
originally suggested by Beat Michel.  This enables FE_CAN_FEC_AUTO also
for FireDTV-S2 devices which is possible as long as only DVB-S channels
are used.  FE_CAN_FEC_AUTO would be wrong for DVB-S2 channels, but those
cannot be used yet since the driver is not yet converted to S2API.

firedtv: reinstate debug logging option

    Henrik Kurelid tells me that FCP debug logging (which I removed during
    cleanups) is still useful when working on driver issues together with
    end users.  So bring it back in an updated form with only 60% of the
    original code footprint.

    Logging can be enabled with
    # echo -1 > /sys/module/firedtv/parameters/debug

    1 instead of -1 enables only FCP header logging,
    2 instead of -1 enables only hexdumps of the entire FCP frames.
    0 switches logging off again.

firedtv: dvb demux: remove a bogus loop

    This loop is unnecessary because
      - only active channel[].pid's will be sent to the device,
      - when a channel is activated, its pid is set to dvbdmxfeed->pid.

    Perhaps the original code was there because it was initially not fully
    covered by the fdtv->demux_mutex.

                            if(firesat->channel[k].active == 0)
                                    firesat->channel[k].pid =
                                            dvbdmxfeed->pid;
