5eb6eed7e0 One new feature was added to ftrace, which is the trace_marker now supports
triggers. For example:
 
   # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
   # echo 'snapshot' > events/ftrace/print/trigger
   # echo 'cause snapshot' > trace_marker
 
 The rest of the changes are various clean ups and also one stable fix that
 was added late in the cycle.

40fe78a242 coresight: Remove %px for printing pcsr value
The driver prints pcsr twice: the first time it uses specifier %px to
print hexadecimal pcsr value and the second time uses specifier %pS for
output kernel symbols.

As suggested by Kees, using %pS should be sufficient and %px isn't
necessary; the reason is if the pcsr is a kernel space address, we can
easily get to know the code line from %pS format, on the other hand, if
the pcsr value doesn't fall into kernel space range (e.g. if the CPU is
stuck in firmware), %pS also gives out pcsr hexadecimal value.

So this commit removes useless %px and update section "Output format"
in the document for alignment between the code and document.

d6ed449afd ("timekeeping: Make the MONOTONIC clock behave like the BOOTTIME clock")
72199320d4 ("timekeeping: Add the new CLOCK_MONOTONIC_ACTIVE clock")

As stated in the pull request for the unification of CLOCK_MONOTONIC and
CLOCK_BOOTTIME, it was clear that we might have to revert the change.

As reported by several folks systemd and other applications rely on the
documented behaviour of CLOCK_MONOTONIC on Linux and break with the above
changes. After resume daemons time out and other timeout related issues are
observed. Rafael compiled this list:

* systemd kills daemons on resume, after >WatchdogSec seconds
  of suspending (Genki Sky).  [Verified that that's because systemd uses
  CLOCK_MONOTONIC and expects it to not include the suspend time.]

* systemd-journald misbehaves after resume:
  systemd-journald[7266]: File /var/log/journal/016627c3c4784cd4812d4b7e96a34226/system.journal
corrupted or uncleanly shut down, renaming and replacing.
  (Mike Galbraith).

* NetworkManager reports "networking disabled" and networking is broken
  after resume 50% of the time (Pavel).  [May be because of systemd.]

* MATE desktop dims the display and starts the screensaver right after
  system resume (Pavel).

* Full system hang during resume (me).  [May be due to systemd or NM or both.]

That happens on debian and open suse systems.

It's sad, that these problems were neither catched in -next nor by those
folks who expressed interest in this change.

5ecd9d403a mm, page_alloc: wakeup kcompactd even if kswapd cannot free more memory
Kswapd will not wakeup if per-zone watermarks are not failing or if too
many previous attempts at background reclaim have failed.

This can be true if there is a lot of free memory available.  For high-
order allocations, kswapd is responsible for waking up kcompactd for
background compaction.  If the zone is not below its watermarks or
reclaim has recently failed (lots of free memory, nothing left to
reclaim), kcompactd does not get woken up.

When __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is not allowed, allow kcompactd to still be
woken up even if kswapd will not reclaim.  This allows high-order
allocations, such as thp, to still trigger background compaction even
when the zone has an abundance of free memory.

Pull time(r) updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A small set of updates for timers and timekeeping:

   - The most interesting change is the consolidation of clock MONOTONIC
     and clock BOOTTIME.

     Clock MONOTONIC behaves now exactly like clock BOOTTIME and does
     not longer ignore the time spent in suspend. A new clock
     MONOTONIC_ACTIVE is provived which behaves like clock MONOTONIC in
     kernels before this change. This allows applications to
     programmatically check for the clock MONOTONIC behaviour.

     As discussed in the review thread, this has the potential of
     breaking user space and we might have to revert this. Knock on wood
     that we can avoid that exercise.

   - Updates to the NTP mechanism to improve accuracy

   - A new kernel internal data structure to aid the ongoing Y2038 work.

   - Cleanups and simplifications of the clocksource code.

   - Make the alarmtimer code play nicely with debugobjects"

bb2407a721 There's been a fair amount of activity in Documentation/ this time around:
- Lots of work aligning Documentation/ABI with reality, done by Aishwarya
    Pant.
 
  - The trace documentation has been converted to RST by Changbin Du
 
  - I thrashed up kernel-doc to deal with a parsing issue and to try to make
    the code more readable.  It's still a 20+-year-old Perl hack, though.
 
  - Lots of other updates, typo fixes, and more.

   - Lots of work aligning Documentation/ABI with reality, done by
     Aishwarya Pant.

   - The trace documentation has been converted to RST by Changbin Du

   - I thrashed up kernel-doc to deal with a parsing issue and to try to
     make the code more readable. It's still a 20+-year-old Perl hack,
     though.

   - Lots of other updates, typo fixes, and more"

f404da6e1d tracing: Add 'last error' error facility for hist triggers
With the addition of variables and actions, it's become necessary to
provide more detailed error information to users about syntax errors.

Add a 'last error' facility accessible via the erroring event's 'hist'
file.  Reading the hist file after an error will display more detailed
information about what went wrong, if information is available.  This
extended error information will be available until the next hist
trigger command for that event.

  # echo xxx > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/trigger
  echo: write error: Invalid argument

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/hist

  ERROR: Couldn't yyy: zzz
  Last command: xxx

Also add specific error messages for variable and action errors.

860f9f6b02 tracing: Add usecs modifier for hist trigger timestamps
Appending .usecs onto a common_timestamp field will cause the
timestamp value to be in microseconds instead of the default
nanoseconds.  A typical latency histogram using usecs would look like
this:

   # echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs ...
   # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0 ...

This also adds an external trace_clock_in_ns() to trace.c for the
timestamp conversion.

2c1ea60b19 tracing: Add timestamp_mode trace file
Add a new option flag indicating whether or not the ring buffer is in
'absolute timestamp' mode.

Currently this is only set/unset by hist triggers that make use of a
common_timestamp.  As such, there's no reason to make this writeable
for users - its purpose is only to allow users to determine
unequivocally whether or not the ring buffer is in that mode (although
absolute timestamps can coexist with the normal delta timestamps, when
the ring buffer is in absolute mode, timestamps written while absolute
mode is in effect take up more space in the buffer, and are not as
efficient).

 updates, and lots of other little one-off driver updates as well.  The
 shortlog has the full details.
 
 Note, there will be a merge conflict in drivers/misc/lkdtm_core.c when
 merging to your tree as one lkdtm patch came in through the perf tree as
 well as this one.  The resolution is to take the const change that this
 tree provides.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for quite a while with no reported

b4d9421098 ftrace/docs: Add documentation on how to use ftrace from within the kernel
With the coming removal of jprobes, using ftrace callbacks is one of the
utilities that replace the jprobes functionality. Having a document that
explains how to use ftrace as such will help in the transition from jprobes
to ftrace. This document is for kernel developers that require attaching a
callback to a function within the kernel.

24f0d316fd doc: coresight: correct usage for disabling idle states
In the coresight CPU debug document it suggests to use 'echo' command
to set latency request to /dev/cpu_dma_latency so can disable all CPU
idle states, but in fact this doesn't work.

This is because when the command 'echo' exits, it releases the device
node's file descriptor and the kernel release function removes the QoS
constraint; finally when the command 'echo' finished there have no
constraint imposed on cpu_dma_latency.

This patch changes to use 'exec' to access '/dev/cpu_dma_latency', the
command 'exec' can avoid the file descriptor to be closed so we can
keep the constraint on cpu_dma_latency.

This patch also adds the info for reference docs for PM QoS and cpuidle
sysfs.

Here is the "big" char/misc driver patchset for 4.13-rc1.
 
 Lots of stuff in here, a large thunderbolt update, w1 driver header
 reorg, the new mux driver subsystem, google firmware driver updates, and
 a raft of other smaller things.  Full details in the shortlog.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a while with the only reported
 issue being a merge problem with this tree and the jc-docs tree in the
 w1 documentation area.  The fix should be obvious for what to do when it
 happens, if not, we can send a follow-up patch for it afterward.

    The old way was written very hacky. This removes a lot of those hacks.
 
  o New "function-fork" tracing option. When set, pids in the set_ftrace_pid
    will have their children added when the processes with their pids
    listed in the set_ftrace_pid file forks.
 
  o Exposure of "maxactive" for kretprobe in kprobe_events
 
  o Allow for builtin init functions to be traced by the function tracer
    (via the kernel command line). Module init function tracing will come

696ced4fb1 tracing/kprobes: expose maxactive for kretprobe in kprobe_events
When a kretprobe is installed on a kernel function, there is a maximum
limit of how many calls in parallel it can catch (aka "maxactive"). A
kernel module could call register_kretprobe() and initialize maxactive
(see example in samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c).

But that is not exposed to userspace and it is currently not possible to
choose maxactive when writing to /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events

The default maxactive can be as low as 1 on single-core with a
non-preemptive kernel. This is too low and we need to increase it not
only for recursive functions, but for functions that sleep or resched.

This patch updates the format of the command that can be written to
kprobe_events so that maxactive can be optionally specified.

I need this for a bpf program attached to the kretprobe of
inet_csk_accept, which can sleep for a long time.

This patch includes a basic selftest:

> # ./ftracetest -v  test.d/kprobe/
> === Ftrace unit tests ===
> [1] Kprobe dynamic event - adding and removing	[PASS]
> [2] Kprobe dynamic event - busy event check	[PASS]
> [3] Kprobe dynamic event with arguments	[PASS]
> [4] Kprobes event arguments with types	[PASS]
> [5] Kprobe dynamic event with function tracer	[PASS]
> [6] Kretprobe dynamic event with arguments	[PASS]
> [7] Kretprobe dynamic event with maxactive	[PASS]

  o Function filtering now supports more advance glob matching
  o Ftrace selftests updates and added tests
  o Softirq tag in traces now show only softirqs
  o ARM nop added to non traced locations at compile time
  o New trace_marker_raw file that allows for binary input
  o Optimizations to the ring buffer
  o Removal of kmap in trace_marker
  o Wakeup and irqsoff tracers now adhere to the set_graph_notrace file
  o Other various fixes and clean ups
 
 Note, there are two patches marked for stable. These were discovered
 near the end of the 4.9 rc release cycle. By the time I had them tested
 it was just a matter of days before 4.9 would be released, and I
 figured I would just submit them in the merge window. They are old
 bugs and not critical. Nothing non-root could abuse.

fa32e8557b tracing: Add new trace_marker_raw
A new file is created:

 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_marker_raw

This allows for appications to create data structures and write the binary
data directly into it, and then read the trace data out from trace_pipe_raw
into the same type of data structure. This saves on converting numbers into
ASCII that would be required by trace_marker.

Use glob_match() to support flexible glob wildcards (*,?)

9a7c348ba6 ftrace: Add return address pointer to ftrace_ret_stack
Storing this value will help prevent unwinders from getting out of sync
with the function graph tracer ret_stack.  Now instead of needing a
stateful iterator, they can compare the return address pointer to find
the right ret_stack entry.

Note that an array of 50 ftrace_ret_stack structs is allocated for every
task.  So when an arch implements this, it will add either 200 or 400
bytes of memory usage per task (depending on whether it's a 32-bit or
64-bit platform).

35abb67de7 tracing: expose current->comm to [ku]probe events
ftrace is very quick to give up on saving the task command line (see
`trace_save_cmdline()`). The workaround for events which really care
about the command line is to explicitly assign it as part of the entry.
However, this doesn't work for kprobe events, as there's no
straightforward way to get access to current->comm. Add a kprobe/uprobe
event variable $comm which provides exactly that.

2600a46ee0 This includes two new updates for the ftrace infrastructure.
1) With the changing of the code for filtering events by pid, from
   a list of pids to a bitmask, we can now easily implement following
   forks. With a new tracing option "event-fork" which, when set, will
   have tasks with pids in set_event_pid, when they fork, to have their
   child pids added to set_event_pid and the child will be traced as well.
 
   Note, if "event-fork" is set and a task with its pid in set_event_pid
   exits, its pid will be removed from set_event_pid
 
 2) The addition of Tom Zanussi's hist triggers. This includes a very
    thorough documentatino on how to use the hist triggers with events.
    This introduces a quick and easy way to get histogram data from
    events and their fields.
 
 Some other cleanups and updates were added as well. Like Masami Hiramatsu
 added test cases for the event trigger and hist triggers. Also I added
 a speed up of filtering by using a temp buffer when filters are set.

237483aa5c coresight: stm: adding driver for CoreSight STM component
This driver adds support for the STM CoreSight IP block, allowing any
system compoment (HW or SW) to log and aggregate messages via a
single entity.

The CoreSight STM exposes an application defined number of channels
called stimulus port.  Configuration is done using entries in sysfs
and channels made available to userspace via configfs.

cee1afce30 sched/fair: Gather CPU load functions under a more conventional namespace
The CPU load update related functions have a weak naming convention
currently, starting with update_cpu_load_*() which isn't ideal as
"update" is a very generic concept.

Since two of these functions are public already (and a third is to come)
that's enough to introduce a more conventional naming scheme. So let's
do the following rename instead:

	update_cpu_load_*() -> cpu_load_update_*()

5463bfda32 tracing: Add support for named hist triggers
Allow users to define 'named' hist triggers.  All triggers created
with the same 'name=xxx' option will update the same shared histogram
data.

This expands the hist trigger syntax from this:

    # echo hist:keys=xxx ... [ if filter] > event/trigger

to this:

    # echo hist:name=xxx:keys=xxx ... [ if filter] > event/trigger

Named histograms must use a 'compatible' set of keys and values, which
means each event added to a set of named triggers must have the same
names and types.

Reading the 'hist' file of any of the participating events will
produce the same output as any other participating event, which is to
be expected since they share the same data.

7f47d8cc03 x86, tracing, perf: Add trace point for MSR accesses
For debugging low level code interacting with the CPU it is often
useful to trace the MSR read/writes. This gives a concise summary of
PMU and other operations.

perf has an ad-hoc way to do this using trace_printk, but it's
somewhat limited (and also now spews ugly boot messages when enabled)

Instead define real trace points for all MSR accesses.

This adds three new trace points: read_msr and write_msr and rdpmc.

They also report if the access faulted (if *_safe is used)

This allows filtering and triggering on specific MSR values, which
allows various more advanced debugging techniques.

All the values are well defined in the CPU documentation.

The trace can be post processed with
Documentation/trace/postprocess/decode_msr.py to add symbolic MSR
names to the trace.

I only added it to native MSR accesses in C, not paravirtualized or in
entry*.S (which is not too interesting)

Originally the patch kit moved the MSRs out of line.  This uses an
alternative approach recommended by Steven Rostedt of only moving the
trace calls out of line, but open coding the access to the jump label.

 Features added this release:
 ----------------------------
 
  o Module globbing. You can now filter function tracing to several
    modules. # echo '*:mod:*snd*' > set_ftrace_filter (Dmitry Safonov)
 
  o Tracer specific options are now visible even when the tracer is not
    active. It was rather annoying that you can only see and modify tracer
    options after enabling the tracer. Now they are in the options/ directory
    even when the tracer is not active. Although they are still only visible
    when the tracer is active in the trace_options file.
 
  o Trace options are now per instance (although some of the tracer specific
    options are global)
 
  o New tracefs file: set_event_pid. If any pid is added to this file, then
    all events in the instance will filter out events that are not part of
    this pid. sched_switch and sched_wakeup events handle next and the wakee
    pids.

39f4034693 intel_th: Add driver infrastructure for Intel(R) Trace Hub devices
Intel(R) Trace Hub (TH) is a set of hardware blocks (subdevices) that
produce, switch and output trace data from multiple hardware and
software sources over several types of trace output ports encoded
in System Trace Protocol (MIPI STPv2) and is intended to perform
full system debugging.

For these subdevices, we create a bus, where they can be discovered
and configured by userspace software.

This patch creates this bus infrastructure, three types of devices
(source, output, switch), resource allocation, some callback mechanisms
to facilitate communication between the subdevices' drivers and some
common sysfs attributes.

7bd1d4093c stm class: Introduce an abstraction for System Trace Module devices
A System Trace Module (STM) is a device exporting data in System Trace
Protocol (STP) format as defined by MIPI STP standards. Examples of such
devices are Intel(R) Trace Hub and Coresight STM.

This abstraction provides a unified interface for software trace sources
to send their data over an STM device to a debug host. In order to do
that, such a trace source needs to be assigned a pair of master/channel
identifiers that all the data from this source will be tagged with. The
STP decoder on the debug host side will use these master/channel tags to
distinguish different trace streams from one another inside one STP
stream.

This abstraction provides a configfs-based policy management mechanism
for dynamic allocation of these master/channel pairs based on trace
source-supplied string identifier. It has the flexibility of being
defined at runtime and at the same time (provided that the policy
definition is aligned with the decoding end) consistency.

For userspace trace sources, this abstraction provides write()-based and
mmap()-based (if the underlying stm device allows this) output mechanism.

For kernel-side trace sources, we provide "stm_source" device class that
can be connected to an stm device at run time.

  o Allowing the trace event filters to filter on CPU number and process ids
 
  o Two new markers for trace output latency were added

  o Have tracing_thresh filter function profiling time
 
 I also worked on modifying the ring buffer code for some future
 work, and moved the adding of the timestamp around. One of my changes
 caused a regression, and since other changes were built on top of it
 and already tested, I had to operate a revert of that change. Instead
 of rebasing, this change set has the code that caused a regression
 as well as the code to revert that change without touching the other
 changes that were made on top of it.

197165d449 powerpc/ftrace: add powerpc timebase as a trace clock source
Add a new powerpc-specific trace clock using the timebase register,
similar to x86-tsc. This gives us
- a fast, monotonic, hardware clock source for trace entries, and
- a clock that can be used to correlate events across cpus as well as across
  hypervisor and guests.

b838e1d96c tracing: Introduce two additional marks for delay
A fine granulity support for delay would be very useful when profiling
VM logics, such as page allocation including page reclaim and memory
compaction with function graph.

Thus, this patch adds two additional marks with two changes.

 - An equal sign in mark selection function is removed to align code
   behavior with comments and documentation.

 - The function graph example related to delay in ftrace.txt is updated
   to cover all supported marks.

8e1e1df29d tracing: Add additional marks to signal very large time deltas
Currently, function graph tracer prints "!" or "+" just before
function execution time to signal a function overhead, depending
on the time. And some tracers tracing latency also print "!" or
"+" just after time to signal overhead, depending on the interval
between events. Even it is usually enough to do that, we sometimes
need to signal for bigger execution time than 100 micro seconds.

For example, I used function graph tracer to detect if there is
any case that exit_mm() takes too much time. I did following steps
in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing. It was easier to detect very large
excution time with patched kernel than with original kernel.

$ echo exit_mm > set_graph_function
$ echo function_graph > current_tracer
$ echo > trace
$ cat trace_pipe > $LOGFILE
 ... (do something and terminate logging)
$ grep "\\$" $LOGFILE
 3) $ 22082032 us |                      } /* kernel_map_pages */
 3) $ 22082040 us |                    } /* free_pages_prepare */
 3) $ 22082113 us |                  } /* free_hot_cold_page */
 3) $ 22083455 us |                } /* free_hot_cold_page_list */
 3) $ 22083895 us |              } /* release_pages */
 3) $ 22177873 us |            } /* free_pages_and_swap_cache */
 3) $ 22178929 us |          } /* unmap_single_vma */
 3) $ 22198885 us |        } /* unmap_vmas */
 3) $ 22206949 us |      } /* exit_mmap */
 3) $ 22207659 us |    } /* mmput */
 3) $ 22207793 us |  } /* exit_mm */

And then, it was easy to find out that a schedule-out occured by
sub_preempt_count() within kernel_map_pages().

To detect very large function exection time caused by either problematic
function implementation or scheduling issues, this patch can be useful.

f8b8be8a31 ftrace, kprobes: Support IPMODIFY flag to find IP modify conflict
Introduce FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY to avoid conflict among
ftrace users who may modify regs->ip to change the execution
path. If two or more users modify the regs->ip on the same
function entry, one of them will be broken. So they must add
IPMODIFY flag and make sure that ftrace_set_filter_ip() succeeds.

Note that ftrace doesn't allow ftrace_ops which has IPMODIFY
flag to have notrace hash, and the ftrace_ops must have a
filter hash (so that the ftrace_ops can hook only specific
entries), because it strongly depends on the address and
must be allowed for only few selected functions.

2c51856c9b mm: trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl: report the number of file/anon pages respectively
Until now, the reporting from trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl is not very
useful because we cannot directly use this script for checking the
file/anon ratio of scanning.  This patch aims to report respectively the
number of file/anon pages which were scanned/reclaimed by kswapd or
direct-reclaim.  Sample output is usually something like the following.

Summary
Direct reclaims:                          8823
Direct reclaim pages scanned:             2438797

Direct reclaim anon pages scanned:        1123597
Direct reclaim pages reclaimed:           446139

Direct reclaim anon pages reclaimed:      67471
Direct reclaim write file sync I/O:       0
Direct reclaim write anon sync I/O:       0
Direct reclaim write file async I/O:      0
Direct reclaim write anon async I/O:      4240
Wake kswapd requests:                     122310
Time stalled direct reclaim:              13.78 seconds

Kswapd wakeups:                           25817
Kswapd pages scanned:                     170779115

b8c0aa46b3 This pull request has a lot of work done. The main thing is the changes
to the ftrace function callback infrastructure. It's introducing a
 way to allow different functions to call directly different trampolines
 instead of all calling the same "mcount" one.
 
 The only user of this for now is the function graph tracer, which always
 had a different trampoline, but the function tracer trampoline was called
 and did basically nothing, and then the function graph tracer trampoline
 was called. The difference now, is that the function graph tracer
 trampoline can be called directly if a function is only being traced by
 the function graph trampoline. If function tracing is also happening on
 the same function, the old way is still done.
 
 The accounting for this takes up more memory when function graph tracing
 is activated, as it needs to keep track of which functions it uses.
 I have a new way that wont take as much memory, but it's not ready yet
 for this merge window, and will have to wait for the next one.
 
 Another big change was the removal of the ftrace_start/stop() calls that
 were used by the suspend/resume code that stopped function tracing when
 entering into suspend and resume paths. The stop of ftrace was done
 because there was some function that would crash the system if one called
 smp_processor_id()! The stop/start was a big hammer to solve the issue
 at the time, which was when ftrace was first introduced into Linux.
 Now ftrace has better infrastructure to debug such issues, and I found
 the problem function and labeled it with "notrace" and function tracing
 can now safely be activated all the way down into the guts of suspend
 and resume.
 
 Other changes include clean ups of uprobe code.
 Clean up of the trace_seq() code.
 And other various small fixes and clean ups to ftrace and tracing.

This means that archs are no longer limited if it does not support
checking this variable in the mcount trampoline.

No need to use the list_func for archs that do not support this
obsolete method.

8875125efe sched: Transform resched_task() into resched_curr()
We always use resched_task() with rq->curr argument.
It's not possible to reschedule any task but rq's current.

The patch introduces resched_curr(struct rq *) to
replace all of the repeating patterns. The main aim
is cleanup, but there is a little size profit too:

  (before)
	$ size kernel/sched/built-in.o
	   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
	155274	  16445	   7042	 178761	  2ba49	kernel/sched/built-in.o

	$ size vmlinux
	   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
	7411490	1178376	 991232	9581098	 92322a	vmlinux

  (after)
	$ size kernel/sched/built-in.o
	   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
	155130	  16445	   7042	 178617	  2b9b9	kernel/sched/built-in.o

	$ size vmlinux
	   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
	7411362	1178376	 991232	9580970	 9231aa	vmlinux

	I was choosing between resched_curr() and resched_rq(),
	and the first name looks better for me.

A little lie in Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt. I have not
actually collected the tracing again. With a hope the patch
won't make execution times much worse :)

b27ebf7791 mm:vmscan: update the trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl for event vmscan/mm_vmscan_lru_isolate
When using trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl for checking the file/anon rate
of scanning, we can find that it can not be performed.  At the same
time, the following message will be reported:

  WARNING: Format not as expected for event vmscan/mm_vmscan_lru_isolate
  'file' != 'contig_taken' Fewer fields than expected in format at
  ./trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl line 171, <FORMAT> line 76.

In trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl, (contig_taken, contig_dirty, and
contig_failed) are be associated respectively to (nr_lumpy_taken,
nr_lumpy_dirty, and nr_lumpy_failed) for lumpy reclaim.  Via commit
c53919adc0 ("mm: vmscan: remove lumpy reclaim"), lumpy reclaim had
already been removed by Mel, but the update for
trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl was missed.

607e3a2920 tracing: Add funcgraph_tail option to print function name after closing braces
In the function-graph tracer, add a funcgraph_tail option
to print the function name on all } lines, not just
functions whose first line is no longer in the trace
buffer.

If a function calls other traced functions, its total
time appears on its } line.  This change allows grep
to be used to determine the function for which the
line corresponds.

Update Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt to describe
this new option.

7c65bbc7dc tracing: Add trace_<tracepoint>_enabled() function
There are some code paths in the kernel that need to do some preparations
before it calls a tracepoint. As that code is worthless overhead when
the tracepoint is not enabled, it would be prudent to have that code
only run when the tracepoint is active. To accomplish this, all tracepoints
now get a static inline function called "trace_<tracepoint-name>_enabled()"
which returns true when the tracepoint is enabled and false otherwise.

As an added bonus, that function uses the static_key of the tracepoint
such that no branch is needed.

  if (trace_mytracepoint_enabled()) {
	arg = process_tp_arg();
	trace_mytracepoint(arg);
  }

Will keep the "process_tp_arg()" (which may be expensive to run) from
being executed when the tracepoint isn't enabled.

It's best to encapsulate the tracepoint itself in the if statement
just to keep races. For example, if you had:

  if (trace_mytracepoint_enabled())
	arg = process_tp_arg();
  trace_mytracepoint(arg);

There's a chance that the tracepoint could be enabled just after the
if statement, and arg will be undefined when calling the tracepoint.

68114e5eb8 Most of the changes were largely clean ups, and some documentation.
But there were a few features that were added.
 
 Uprobes now work with event triggers and multi buffers.
 Uprobes have support under ftrace and perf.
 
 The big feature is that the function tracer can now be used within the
 multi buffer instances. That is, you can now trace some functions
 in one buffer, others in another buffer, all functions in a third buffer
 and so on. They are basically agnostic from each other. This only
 works for the function tracer and not for the function graph trace,
 although you can have the function graph tracer running in the top level
 buffer (or any tracer for that matter) and have different function tracing
 going on in the sub buffers.

af64a7cb09 ftrace: Pass retval through return in ftrace_dyn_arch_init()
No architecture uses the "data" parameter in ftrace_dyn_arch_init() in any
way, it just sets the value to 0. And this is used as a return value
in the caller -- ftrace_init, which just checks the retval against
zero.

Note there is also "return 0" in every ftrace_dyn_arch_init.  So it is
enough to check the retval and remove all the indirect sets of data on
all archs.

c72bb31691 The majority of the changes here are cleanups for the large changes that
were added to 3.10, which includes several bug fixes that have been
 marked for stable.
 
 As for new features, there were a few, but nothing to write to LWN about.
 These include:
 
 New function trigger called "dump" and "cpudump" that will cause
 ftrace to dump its buffer to the console when the function is called.
 The difference between "dump" and "cpudump" is that "dump" will dump
 the entire contents of the ftrace buffer, where as "cpudump" will only
 dump the contents of the ftrace buffer for the CPU that called the function.
 
 Another small enhancement is a new sysctl switch called "traceoff_on_warning"
 which, when enabled, will disable tracing if any WARN_ON() is triggered.
 This is useful if you want to debug what caused a warning and do not
 want to risk losing your trace data by the ring buffer overwriting the
 data before you can disable it. There's also a kernel command line
 option that will make this enabled at boot up called the same thing.

Merge tag 'pm+acpi-3.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "This time the total number of ACPI commits is slightly greater than
  the number of cpufreq commits, but Viresh Kumar (who works on cpufreq)
  remains the most active patch submitter.

  To me, the most significant change is the addition of offline/online
  device operations to the driver core (with the Greg's blessing) and
  the related modifications of the ACPI core hotplug code.  Next are the
  freezer updates from Colin Cross that should make the freezing of
  tasks a bit less heavy weight.

  We also have a couple of regression fixes, a number of fixes for
  issues that have not been identified as regressions, two new drivers
  and a bunch of cleanups all over.

  Highlights:

   - Hotplug changes to support graceful hot-removal failures.

     It sometimes is necessary to fail device hot-removal operations
     gracefully if they cannot be carried out completely.  For example,
     if memory from a memory module being hot-removed has been allocated
     for the kernel's own use and cannot be moved elsewhere, it's
     desirable to fail the hot-removal operation in a graceful way
     rather than to crash the kernel, but currenty a success or a kernel
     crash are the only possible outcomes of an attempted memory
     hot-removal.  Needless to say, that is not a very attractive
     alternative and it had to be addressed.

     However, in order to make it work for memory, I first had to make
     it work for CPUs and for this purpose I needed to modify the ACPI
     processor driver.  It's been split into two parts, a resident one
     handling the low-level initialization/cleanup and a modular one
     playing the actual driver's role (but it binds to the CPU system
     device objects rather than to the ACPI device objects representing
     processors).  That's been sort of like a live brain surgery on a
     patient who's riding a bike.

     So this is a little scary, but since we found and fixed a couple of
     regressions it caused to happen during the early linux-next testing
     (a month ago), nobody has complained.

     As a bonus we remove some duplicated ACPI hotplug code, because the
     ACPI-based CPU hotplug is now going to use the common ACPI hotplug
     code.

   - Lighter weight freezing of tasks.

     These changes from Colin Cross and Mandeep Singh Baines are
     targeted at making the freezing of tasks a bit less heavy weight
     operation.  They reduce the number of tasks woken up every time
     during the freezing, by using the observation that the freezer
     simply doesn't need to wake up some of them and wait for them all
     to call refrigerator().  The time needed for the freezer to decide
     to report a failure is reduced too.

     Also reintroduced is the check causing a lockdep warining to
     trigger when try_to_freeze() is called with locks held (which is
     generally unsafe and shouldn't happen).

   - cpufreq updates

     First off, a commit from Srivatsa S Bhat fixes a resume regression
     introduced during the 3.10 cycle causing some cpufreq sysfs
     attributes to return wrong values to user space after resume.  The
     fix is kind of fresh, but also it's pretty obvious once Srivatsa
     has identified the root cause.

     Second, we have a new freqdomain_cpus sysfs attribute for the
     acpi-cpufreq driver to provide information previously available via
     related_cpus.  From Lan Tianyu.

     Finally, we fix a number of issues, mostly related to the
     CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notifier and cpufreq Kconfig options and clean
     up some code.  The majority of changes from Viresh Kumar with bits
     from Jacob Shin, Heiko Stübner, Xiaoguang Chen, Ezequiel Garcia,
     Arnd Bergmann, and Tang Yuantian.

   - ACPICA update

     A usual bunch of updates from the ACPICA upstream.

     During the 3.4 cycle we introduced support for ACPI 5 extended
     sleep registers, but they are only supposed to be used if the
     HW-reduced mode bit is set in the FADT flags and the code attempted
     to use them without checking that bit.  That caused suspend/resume
     regressions to happen on some systems.  Fix from Lv Zheng causes
     those registers to be used only if the HW-reduced mode bit is set.

     Apart from this some other ACPICA bugs are fixed and code cleanups
     are made by Bob Moore, Tomasz Nowicki, Lv Zheng, Chao Guan, and
     Zhang Rui.

   - cpuidle updates

     New driver for Xilinx Zynq processors is added by Michal Simek.

     Multidriver support simplification, addition of some missing
     kerneldoc comments and Kconfig-related fixes come from Daniel
     Lezcano.

   - ACPI power management updates

     Changes to make suspend/resume work correctly in Xen guests from
     Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk, sparse warning fix from Fengguang Wu and
     cleanups and fixes of the ACPI device power state selection
     routine.

   - ACPI documentation updates

     Some previously missing pieces of ACPI documentation are added by
     Lv Zheng and Aaron Lu (hopefully, that will help people to
     uderstand how the ACPI subsystem works) and one outdated doc is
     updated by Hanjun Guo.

   - Assorted ACPI updates

     We finally nailed down the IA-64 issue that was the reason for
     reverting commit 9f29ab11dd ("ACPI / scan: do not match drivers
     against objects having scan handlers"), so we can fix it and move
     the ACPI scan handler check added to the ACPI video driver back to
     the core.

     A mechanism for adding CMOS RTC address space handlers is
     introduced by Lan Tianyu to allow some EC-related breakage to be
     fixed on some systems.

     A spec-compliant implementation of acpi_os_get_timer() is added by
     Mika Westerberg.

     The evaluation of _STA is added to do_acpi_find_child() to avoid
     situations in which a pointer to a disabled device object is
     returned instead of an enabled one with the same _ADR value.  From
     Jeff Wu.

     Intel BayTrail PCH (Platform Controller Hub) support is added to
     the ACPI driver for Intel Low-Power Subsystems (LPSS) and that
     driver is modified to work around a couple of known BIOS issues.
     Changes from Mika Westerberg and Heikki Krogerus.

     The EC driver is fixed by Vasiliy Kulikov to use get_user() and
     put_user() instead of dereferencing user space pointers blindly.

     Code cleanups are made by Bjorn Helgaas, Nicholas Mazzuca and Toshi
     Kani.

   - Assorted power management updates

     The "runtime idle" helper routine is changed to take the return
     values of the callbacks executed by it into account and to call
     rpm_suspend() if they return 0, which allows us to reduce the
     overall code bloat a bit (by dropping some code that's not
     necessary any more after that modification).

     The runtime PM documentation is updated by Alan Stern (to reflect
     the "runtime idle" behavior change).

     New trace points for PM QoS are added by Sahara
     (<keun-o.park@windriver.com>).

     PM QoS documentation is updated by Lan Tianyu.

     Code cleanups are made and minor issues are addressed by Bernie
     Thompson, Bjorn Helgaas, Julius Werner, and Shuah Khan.

   - devfreq updates

     New driver for the Exynos5-bus device from Abhilash Kesavan.

     Minor cleanups, fixes and MAINTAINERS update from MyungJoo Ham,
     Abhilash Kesavan, Paul Bolle, Rajagopal Venkat, and Wei Yongjun.

   - OMAP power management updates

This patch has been invaluable in my adventures finding
issues in the perf NMI handler.  I'm as big a fan of

deadly when they're happening frequently.

Even hacking in trace_printk() ended up eating enough

glob matching to tracepoint filter strings. It uses the ftrace function
tracing glob matching facility that allows for the wild card character (*)

1a891cf19c tracing: Add binary '&' filter for events
There are some cases when filtering on a set flag of a field of a tracepoint
is useful. But currently the only filtering commands for numbered fields
is ==, !=, <, <=, >, >=. This does not help when you just want to trace if
a specific flag is set. For example:

 > # sudo trace-cmd record -e brcmfmac:brcmf_dbg -f 'level & 0x40000'
 > disable all
 > enable brcmfmac:brcmf_dbg
 > path = /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/brcmfmac/brcmf_dbg/enable
 > (level & 0x40000)
 > ^
 > parse_error: Invalid operator
 >

When trying to trace brcmf_dbg when level has its 1 << 18 bit set, the
filter fails to perform.

By allowing a binary '&' operation, this gives the user the ability to
test a bit.

Note, a binary '|' is not added, as it doesn't make sense as fields must
be compared to constants (for now), and ORing a constant will always return
true.

90e3c03c3a tracing: Add function probe to trigger a ftrace dump of current CPU trace
Add the "cpudump" command to have the current CPU ftrace buffer dumped
to console if a function is hit. This is useful when debugging a
tripple fault, where you have an idea of a function that is called
just before the tripple fault occurs, and can tell ftrace to dump its
content out to the console before it continues.

This differs from the "dump" command as it only dumps the content of
the ring buffer for the currently executing CPU, and does not show
the contents of the other CPUs.

Format is:

  <function>:cpudump

echo 'bad_address:cpudump' > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter

     an optimization to kprobes.  "perf probe -x file sym%return" now
     works like kretprobes.  By Oleg Nesterov.

   - Introduce per core aggregation in 'perf stat', from Stephane
     Eranian.

   - Add memory profiling via PEBS, from Stephane Eranian.

   - Event group view for 'annotate' in --stdio, --tui and --gtk, from
     Namhyung Kim.

   - Add support for AMD NB and L2I "uncore" counters, by Jacob Shin.

   - Add Ivy Bridge-EP uncore support, by Zheng Yan

   - IBM zEnterprise EC12 oprofile support patchlet from Robert Richter.

   - Add perf test entries for checking breakpoint overflow signal
     handler issues, from Jiri Olsa.

   - Add perf test entry for for checking number of EXIT events, from
     Namhyung Kim.

   - Add perf test entries for checking --cpu in record and stat, from
     Jiri Olsa.

   - Introduce perf stat --repeat forever, from Frederik Deweerdt.

   - Add --no-demangle to report/top, from Namhyung Kim.

   - PowerPC fixes plus a couple of cleanups/optimizations in uprobes
     and trace_uprobes, by Oleg Nesterov.

  Various fixes and refactorings:

   - Fix dependency of the python binding wrt libtraceevent, from
     Naohiro Aota.

   - Simplify some perf_evlist methods and to allow 'stat' to share code
     with 'record' and 'trace', by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

   - Remove dead code in related to libtraceevent integration, from
     Namhyung Kim.

   - Revert "perf sched: Handle PERF_RECORD_EXIT events" to get 'perf
     sched lat' back working, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

   - We don't use Newt anymore, just plain libslang, by Arnaldo Carvalho
     de Melo.

   - Kill a bunch of die() calls, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Fix build on non-glibc systems due to libio.h absence, from Cody P
     Schafer.

   - Remove some perf_session and tracing dead code, from David Ahern.

   - Honor parallel jobs, fix from Borislav Petkov

   - Introduce tools/lib/lk library, initially just removing duplication
     among tools/perf and tools/vm.  from Borislav Petkov

  ... and many more I missed to list, see the shortlog and git log for
  more details."

Linus Torvalds
9e8529afc4 Tracing updates for Linux 3.10
Along with the usual minor fixes and clean ups there are a few major
 changes with this pull request.
 
 1) Multiple buffers for the ftrace facility
 
 This feature has been requested by many people over the last few years.
 I even heard that Google was about to implement it themselves. I finally
 had time and cleaned up the code such that you can now create multiple
 instances of the ftrace buffer and have different events go to different
 buffers. This way, a low frequency event will not be lost in the noise
 of a high frequency event.
 
 Note, currently only events can go to different buffers, the tracers
 (ie. function, function_graph and the latency tracers) still can only
 be written to the main buffer.
 
 2) The function tracer triggers have now been extended.
 
 The function tracer had two triggers. One to enable tracing when a
 function is hit, and one to disable tracing. Now you can record a
 stack trace on a single (or many) function(s), take a snapshot of the
 buffer (copy it to the snapshot buffer), and you can enable or disable
 an event to be traced when a function is hit.
 
 3) A perf clock has been added.
 
 A "perf" clock can be chosen to be used when tracing. This will cause
 ftrace to use the same clock as perf uses, and hopefully this will make
 it easier to interleave the perf and ftrace data for analysis.
