7ac0743404 ring-buffer-benchmark: Add parameters to set produce/consumer priorities
Running the ring-buffer-benchmark's threads at the lowest priority may
work well for keeping it in the background, but it is not appropriate
for the benchmarks.

This patch adds 4 parameters to the module:

  consumer_fifo
  consumer_nice
  producer_fifo
  producer_nice

By default the consumer and producer still run at nice +19.

If the *_fifo options are set, they will override the *_nice values.

 modprobe ring_buffer_benchmark consumer_nice=0 producer_fifo=10

The above will set the consumer thread to a nice value of 0, and
the producer thread to a RT SCHED_FIFO priority of 10.

Note, this patch also fixes a bug where calling set_user_nice on the
consumer thread would oops the kernel when the parameter "disable_reader"
is set.

5a50e33cc9 ring-buffer: Move access to commit_page up into function used
With the change of the way we process commits. Where a commit only happens
at the outer most level, and that we don't need to worry about
a commit ending after the rb_start_commit() has been called, the code
use to grab the commit page before the tail page to prevent a possible
race. But this race no longer exists with the rb_start_commit()
rb_end_commit() interface.

8b2a5dac78 tracing: do not disable interrupts for trace_clock_local
Disabling interrupts in trace_clock_local takes quite a performance
hit to the recording of traces. Using perf top we see:

               11.00 -  0.2% : getnstimeofday

Where trace_clock_local is 40% of the tracing, and the time for recording
a trace according to ring_buffer_benchmark is 210ns. After converting
the interrupts to preemption disabling we have from perf top:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

               53.00 -  0.7% : tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick

Where trace_clock_local drops from 40% to only taking 4% of the total time.
The trace time also goes from 210ns down to 179ns (31ns).

I talked with Peter Zijlstra about the impact that sched_clock may have
without having interrupts disabled, and he told me that if a timer interrupt
comes in, sched_clock may report a wrong time.

Balancing a seldom incorrect timestamp with a 15% performance boost, I'll
take the performance boost.

a6f0eb6adc ring-buffer: Add multiple iterations between benchmark timestamps
The ring_buffer_benchmark does a gettimeofday after every write to the
ring buffer in its measurements. This adds the overhead of the call
to gettimeofday to the measurements and does not give an accurate picture
of the length of time it takes to record a trace.

This was first noticed with perf top:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   PerfTop:     679 irqs/sec  kernel:99.9% [1000Hz cpu-clock-msecs],  (all, 4 CPUs)

              590.00 -  9.8% : rb_reserve_next_event

              431.00 -  7.2% : ring_buffer_lock_reserve
              365.00 -  6.1% : __rb_reserve_next
              355.00 -  5.9% : rb_end_commit
              322.00 -  5.4% : getnstimeofday
              268.00 -  4.5% : ring_buffer_unlock_commit
              262.00 -  4.4% : ring_buffer_producer_thread 	[ring_buffer_benchmark]

               91.00 -  1.5% : debug_smp_processor_id
               69.00 -  1.1% : trace_recursive_unlock
               66.00 -  1.1% : ring_buffer_event_data
               25.00 -  0.4% : _spin_unlock_irq

And the length of each write to the ring buffer measured at 310ns.

This patch adds a new module parameter called "write_interval" which is
defaulted to 50. This is the number of writes performed between
timestamps. After this patch perf top shows:

               11.00 -  0.2% : getnstimeofday

do_gettimeofday dropped from 13% usage to a mere 0.4%! (using the default
50 interval)  The measurement for each timestamp went from 310ns to 210ns.
That's 100ns (1/3rd) overhead that the gettimeofday call was introducing.

3e69533b51 tracing: Fix trace_seq_printf() return value
trace_seq_printf() return value is a little ambiguous. It
currently returns the length of the space available in the
buffer. printf usually returns the amount written. This is not
adequate here, because:

  trace_seq_printf(s, "");

is perfectly legal, and returning 0 would indicate that it
failed.

We can always see the amount written by looking at the before
and after values of s->len. This is not quite the same use as
printf. We only care if the string was successfully written to
the buffer or not.

Make trace_seq_printf() return 0 if the trace oversizes the
buffer's free space, 1 otherwise.

c44fc77084 tracing: Move syscalls metadata handling from arch to core
Most of the syscalls metadata processing is done from arch.
But these operations are mostly generic accross archs. Especially now
that we have a common variable name that expresses the number of
syscalls supported by an arch: NR_syscalls, the only remaining bits
that need to reside in arch is the syscall nr to addr translation.

v2: Compare syscalls symbols only after the "sys" prefix so that we
    avoid spurious mismatches with archs that have syscalls wrappers,
    in which case syscalls symbols have "SyS" prefixed aliases.

The attached patch enables modules' hooks if there's function trace
allready on, thus allowing to trace module functions.

756d17ee7e tracing: Support multiple pids in set_pid_ftrace file
Adding the possibility to set more than 1 pid in the set_pid_ftrace
file, thus allowing to trace more than 1 independent processes.

Usage:

 sh-4.0# echo 284 > ./set_ftrace_pid
 sh-4.0# cat ./set_ftrace_pid
 284
 sh-4.0# echo 1 >> ./set_ftrace_pid
 sh-4.0# echo 0 >> ./set_ftrace_pid
 sh-4.0# cat ./set_ftrace_pid
 swapper tasks
 1
 284
 sh-4.0# echo 4 > ./set_ftrace_pid
 sh-4.0# cat ./set_ftrace_pid
 4
 sh-4.0# echo > ./set_ftrace_pid
 sh-4.0# cat ./set_ftrace_pid
 no pid
 sh-4.0#

369bc18f9a ftrace: add kernel command line graph function filtering
Add a command line parameter to allow limiting the function graphs
that are traced on boot up from the given top-level callers , when
ftrace=function_graph is specified.

This patch adds the following command line option:
ftrace_graph_filter=function-list

Where function-list is a comma separated list of functions to filter.

8f6e8a314a tracing: user local buffer variable for trace branch tracer
Just using the tr->buffer for the API to trace_buffer_lock_reserve
is not good enough. This is because the tr->buffer may change, and we
do not want to commit with a different buffer that we reserved from.

This patch uses a local variable to hold the buffer that was used to
reserve and commit with.

The state char variable S should be reassigned, if S == 0.

We are missing the state of the task that is going to sleep for the
context switch events (in the raw mode).

Fortunately the problem arises with the sched_switch/wake_up
tracers, not the sched trace events.

The formers are legacy now. But still, that was buggy.

f9ac5a69ed kmemtrace: Fix up tracer registration
Commit ddc1637af2 ("kmemtrace: Print
binary output only if 'bin' option is set") ended up inverting the
error detection logic. register_tracer() returns 0 on success,
which this change caused to treat as an error, resulting in:

[    0.132000] Warning: could not register the kmem tracer

as well as bailing out of the initcall with an error value. This
restores the old logic.

33974093c0 tracing: Fix infinite recursion in ftrace_update_pid_func()
When CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST is enabled
__ftrace_trace_function contains the current trace function, not
ftrace_trace_function.

In ftrace_update_pid_func() we currently incorrectly assign the
value of ftrace_trace_function to __ftrace_trace_funcion before
returning.

Without this patch it is possible to execute an infinite recursion
whereby ftrace_test_stop_func() calls __ftrace_trace_function,
which was assigned ftrace_test_stop_func() in
ftrace_update_pid_func().
