Merge x86/dumpstack into tracing/ftrace because upcoming ftrace changes
depend on cleanups already in x86/dumpstack.
Also merge to latest upstream -rc.
Impact: extend and enable the function graph tracer to 64-bit x86
This patch implements the support for function graph tracer under x86-64.
Both static and dynamic tracing are supported.
This causes some small CPP conditional asm on arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c I
wanted to use probe_kernel_read/write to make the return address
saving/patching code more generic but it causes tracing recursion.
That would be perhaps useful to implement a notrace version of these
function for other archs ports.
Note that arch/x86/process_64.c is not traced, as in X86-32. I first
thought __switch_to() was responsible of crashes during tracing because I
believed current task were changed inside but that's actually not the
case (actually yes, but not the "current" pointer).
So I will have to investigate to find the functions that harm here, to
enable tracing of the other functions inside (but there is no issue at
this time, while process_64.c stays out of -pg flags).
A little possible race condition is fixed inside this patch too. When the
tracer allocate a return stack dynamically, the current depth is not
initialized before but after. An interrupt could occur at this time and,
after seeing that the return stack is allocated, the tracer could try to
trace it with a random uninitialized depth. It's a prevention, even if I
hadn't problems with it.

Impact: new "power-tracer" ftrace plugin
This patch adds a C/P-state ftrace plugin that will generate
detailed statistics about the C/P-states that are being used,
so that we can look at detailed decisions that the C/P-state
code is making, rather than the too high level "average"
that we have today.
An example way of using this is:
mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
echo cstate > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_enabled
sleep 1
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_enabled

Impact: feature
This patch sets a C-like output for the function graph tracing.
For this aim, we now call two handler for each function: one on the entry
and one other on return. This way we can draw a well-ordered call stack.
The pid of the previous trace is loosely stored to be compared against
the one of the current trace to see if there were a context switch.
Without this little feature, the call tree would seem broken at
some locations.
We could use the sched_tracer to capture these sched_events but this
way of processing is much more simpler.
2 spaces have been chosen for indentation to fit the screen while deep
calls. The time of execution in nanosecs is printed just after closed
braces, it seems more easy this way to find the corresponding function.
If the time was printed as a first column, it would be not so easy to
find the corresponding function if it is called on a deep depth.
I plan to output the return value but on 32 bits CPU, the return value
can be 32 or 64, and its difficult to guess on which case we are.
I don't know what would be the better solution on X86-32: only print
eax (low-part) or even edx (high-part).
Actually it's thee same problem when a function return a 8 bits value, the
high part of eax could contain junk values...

A workaround for AMD CPU family 11h erratum 311 might cause that the
P-state Status Register shows a "current P-state" which is larger than
the "current P-state limit" in P-state Current Limit Register. For the
wrong P-state value there is no ACPI _PSS object defined and
powernow-k8/cpufreq can't determine the proper CPU frequency for that
state.
As a consequence this can cause a panic during boot (potentially with
all recent kernel versions -- at least I have reproduced it with
various 2.6.27 kernels and with the current .28 series), as an
example:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
In short, aftereffect of the wrong P-state is that
cpufreq_stats_update() uses "-1" as index for some array in
cpufreq_stats_update (unsigned int cpu)
{
...
if (stat->time_in_state)
stat->time_in_state[stat->last_index] =
cputime64_add(stat->time_in_state[stat->last_index],
cputime_sub(cur_time, stat->last_time));
...
}
Fortunately, the wrong P-state value is returned only if the core is
in P-state 0. This fix solves the problem by detecting the
out-of-range P-state, ignoring it, and using "0" instead.

Impact: use deeper function tracing depth safely
Some tests showed that function return tracing needed a more deeper depth
of function calls. But it could be unsafe to store these return addresses
to the stack.
So these arrays will now be allocated dynamically into task_struct of current
only when the tracer is activated.
Typical scheme when tracer is activated:
- allocate a return stack for each task in global list.
- fork: allocate the return stack for the newly created task
- exit: free return stack of current
- idle init: same as fork
I chose a default depth of 50. I don't have overruns anymore.

When we migrate an interrupt from one CPU to another, we set the
move_in_progress flag and clean up the vectors later once they're not
being used. If you're unlucky and call destroy_irq() before the vectors
become un-used, the move_in_progress flag is never cleared, which causes
the interrupt to become unusable.
This was discovered by Jesse Brandeburg for whom it manifested as an
MSI-X device refusing to use MSI-X mode when the driver was unloaded

Impact: help to find the better depth of trace
We decided to arbitrary define the depth of function return trace as
"20". Perhaps this is not enough. To help finding an optimal depth, we
measure now the overrun: the number of functions that have been missed
for the current thread. By default this is not displayed, we have to
do set a particular flag on the return tracer: echo overrun >
/debug/tracing/trace_options And the overrun will be printed on the
right.
As the trace shows below, the current 20 depth is not enough.

Impact: fix incorrectly marked unstable TSC clock
Patch (commit 0d12cdd "sched: improve sched_clock() performance") has
a regression on one of the test systems here.
With the patch, I see:
checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#1]:
Measured 28 cycles TSC warp between CPUs, turning off TSC clock.
Marking TSC unstable due to check_tsc_sync_source failed
Whereas, without the patch syncs pass fine on all CPUs:
checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#1]: passed.
Due to this, TSC is marked unstable, when it is not actually unstable.
This is because syncs in check_tsc_wrap() goes away due to this commit.
As per the discussion on this thread, correct way to fix this is to add
explicit syncs as below?

acpi/x86: introduce __apci_map_table, v4
submitted to the ACPI tree but not upstream yet.

This patch adds the support for dynamic tracing on the function return tracer.
The whole difference with normal dynamic function tracing is that we don't need
to hook on a particular callback. The only pro that we want is to nop or set
dynamically the calls to ftrace_caller (which is ftrace_return_caller here).
Some security checks ensure that we are not trying to launch dynamic tracing for
return tracing while normal function tracing is already running.
An example of trace with getnstimeofday set as a filter:
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (2283 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1396 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1382 ns)

Impact: allow archs more flexibility on dynamic ftrace implementations
Dynamic ftrace has largly been developed on x86. Since x86 does not
have the same limitations as other architectures, the ftrace interaction
between the generic code and the architecture specific code was not
flexible enough to handle some of the issues that other architectures
have.
Most notably, module trampolines. Due to the limited branch distance
that archs make in calling kernel core code from modules, the module
load code must create a trampoline to jump to what will make the
larger jump into core kernel code.
The problem arises when this happens to a call to mcount. Ftrace checks
all code before modifying it and makes sure the current code is what
it expects. Right now, there is not enough information to handle modifying
module trampolines.
This patch changes the API between generic dynamic ftrace code and
the arch dependent code. There is now two functions for modifying code:
ftrace_make_nop(mod, rec, addr) - convert the code at rec->ip into
a nop, where the original text is calling addr. (mod is the
module struct if called by module init)
ftrace_make_caller(rec, addr) - convert the code rec->ip that should
be a nop into a caller to addr.
The record "rec" now has a new field called "arch" where the architecture
can add any special attributes to each call site record.
