8b96f01198 tracing/function-graph-tracer: introduce __notrace_funcgraph to filter special functions
Impact: trace more functions

When the function graph tracer is configured, three more files are not
traced to prevent only four functions to be traced. And this impacts the
normal function tracer too.

arch/x86/kernel/process_64/32.c:

I had crashes when I let this file traced. After some debugging, I saw
that the "current" task point was changed inside__swtich_to(), ie:
"write_pda(pcurrent, next_p);" inside process_64.c Since the tracer store
the original return address of the function inside current, we had
crashes. Only __switch_to() has to be excluded from tracing.

kernel/module.c and kernel/extable.c:

Because of a function used internally by the function graph tracer:
__kernel_text_address()

To let the other functions inside these files to be traced, this patch
introduces the __notrace_funcgraph function prefix which is __notrace if
function graph tracer is configured and nothing if not.

48d68b20d0 tracing/function-graph-tracer: support for x86-64
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.

caf4b323b0 tracing, x86: add low level support for ftrace return tracing
Impact: add infrastructure for function-return tracing

Add low level support for ftrace return tracing.

This plug-in stores return addresses on the thread_info structure of
the current task.

The index of the current return address is initialized when the task
is the first one (init) and when a process forks (the child). It is
not needed when a task does a sys_execve because after this syscall,
it still needs to return on the kernel functions it called.

Note that the code of return_to_handler has been suggested by Steven
Rostedt as almost all of the ideas of improvements in this V3.

For purpose of security, arch/x86/kernel/process_32.c is not traced
because __switch_to() changes the current task during its execution.
That could cause inconsistency in the stored return address of this
function even if I didn't have any crash after testing with tracing on
this function enabled.

878719e831 x86: unify appropriate bits from dumpstack_32 and dumpstack_64
Impact: cleanup

As promised, now that dumpstack_32 and dumpstack_64 have so many bits
in common, we should merge the in-sync bits into a common file, to
prevent them from diverging again.

This patch removes bits which are common between dumpstack_32.c and
dumpstack_64.c and places them in a common dumpstack.c which is built
for both 32 and 64 bit arches.

80cc9f1020 x86: AMD microcode patch loading support
This patch introduces microcode patch loading for AMD
processors. It is based on previous corresponding work
for Intel processors.

It hooks into the general patch loading module. Main
difference is that a container file format is used to hold
all patch data for multiple processors as well as an
equivalent CPU table, which comes seperately, as opposed
to Intel's microcode patching solution.

Kconfig and Makefile have been changed provice config
and build option for new source file.

8d86f390d9 x86: major refactoring
Refactored code by introducing a two-module solution.

There is one general module in which vendor specific modules can hook into.
However, that is exclusive, there is only one vendor specific module
allowed at a time. A CPU vendor check makes sure only the correct
module for the underlying system gets called.

Functinally in terms of patch loading itself there are no changes. This
refactoring provides a basis for future implementations of other vendors'
patch loaders.

|     Merge branch 'auto-ftrace-next' into tracing/for-linus

turns out that i made this mistake in the merge:

  ifdef CONFIG_FTRACE
  # Do not profile debug utilities
  CFLAGS_REMOVE_tsc_64.o = -pg
  CFLAGS_REMOVE_tsc_32.o = -pg

those two files got unified meanwhile - so the dont-profile annotation
got lost. The proper rule is:

  CFLAGS_REMOVE_tsc.o = -pg

i guess this could have been caught sooner if the CFLAGS_REMOVE* kbuild
rule aborted the build if it met a target that does not exist anymore?

34646bca47 x86, paravirt-spinlocks: fix boot hang
the paravirt-spinlock patches caused a boot hang with this config:

 http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/config-Wed_Jul__9_14_47_04_CEST_2008.bad

i have bisected it down to:

|  commit e17b58c2e85bc2ad2afc07fb8d898017c2b75ed1
|  Author: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>
|  Date:   Mon Jul 7 12:07:53 2008 -0700

|      xen: implement Xen-specific spinlocks

i.e. applying that patch alone causes the hang. The hang happens in the
ftrace self-test:

  initcall utsname_sysctl_init+0x0/0x19 returned 0 after 0 msecs
  calling  init_sched_switch_trace+0x0/0x4c
  Testing tracer sched_switch: PASSED
  initcall init_sched_switch_trace+0x0/0x4c returned 0 after 167 msecs
  calling  init_function_trace+0x0/0x12
  Testing tracer ftrace:
  [hard hang]

it should have continued like this:

  Testing tracer ftrace: PASSED
  initcall init_function_trace+0x0/0x12 returned 0 after 198 msecs
  calling  init_irqsoff_tracer+0x0/0x14
  Testing tracer irqsoff: PASSED
  initcall init_irqsoff_tracer+0x0/0x14 returned 0 after 3 msecs
  calling  init_mmio_trace+0x0/0x12
  initcall init_mmio_trace+0x0/0x12 returned 0 after 0 msecs

the problem is that such lowlevel primitives as spinlocks should never
be built with -pg (which ftrace does). Marking paravirt.o as non-pg and
marking all spinlock ops as always-inline solve the hang.
