a234aa9ecd tracing: fix section mismatch in trace_hw_branches.c
The function bts_trace_init() references a variable
bts_hotcpu_notifier which is marked
as __cpuinitdata. Thus causes section mismatch. This patch fixes it.

 WARNING: kernel/trace/built-in.o(.text+0xc90c): Section mismatch in
 reference from the function bts_trace_init() to the variable
 .cpuinit.data:bts_hotcpu_notifier
 The function bts_trace_init() references
 the variable __cpuinitdata bts_hotcpu_notifier.
 This is often because bts_trace_init lacks a __cpuinitdata
 annotation or the annotation of bts_hotcpu_notifier is wrong.

 This is often because bts_trace_reset lacks a __cpuinitdata

6bc5c366b1 trace: mmiotrace to the tracer menu in Kconfig
Impact: cosmetic change in Kconfig menu layout

This patch was originally suggested by Peter Zijlstra, but seems it
was forgotten.

CONFIG_MMIOTRACE and CONFIG_MMIOTRACE_TEST were selectable
directly under the Kernel hacking / debugging menu in the kernel
configuration system. They were present only for x86 and x86_64.

Other tracers that use the ftrace tracing framework are in their own
sub-menu. This patch moves the mmiotrace configuration options there.
Since the Kconfig file, where the tracer menu is, is not architecture
specific, HAVE_MMIOTRACE_SUPPORT is introduced and provided only by
x86/x86_64. CONFIG_MMIOTRACE now depends on it.

391b170f10 mmiotrace: count events lost due to not recording
Impact: enhances lost events counting in mmiotrace

The tracing framework, or the ring buffer facility it uses, has a switch
to stop recording data. When recording is off, the trace events will be
lost. The framework does not count these, so mmiotrace has to count them
itself.

fb5ae64fdd User namespaces: Only put the userns when we unhash the uid
uids in namespaces other than init don't get a sysfs entry.

For those in the init namespace, while we're waiting to remove
the sysfs entry for the uid the uid is still hashed, and
alloc_uid() may re-grab that uid without getting a new
reference to the user_ns, which we've already put in free_user
before scheduling remove_user_sysfs_dir().

45141d4667 ring-buffer: rename label out_unlock to out_reset
Impact: clean up

While reviewing the ring buffer code, I thougth I saw a bug with

	if (!__raw_spin_trylock(&cpu_buffer->lock))
		goto out_unlock;

But I forgot that we use a variable "lock_taken" that is set if
the spinlock is taken, and only unlock it if that variable is set.

To avoid further confusion from other reviewers, this patch
renames the label out_unlock with out_reset, which is the more
appropriate name.

cfebe563bd cgroups: fix lockdep subclasses overflow
I enabled all cgroup subsystems when compiling kernel, and then:
 # mount -t cgroup -o net_cls xxx /mnt
 # mkdir /mnt/0

This showed up immediately:
 BUG: MAX_LOCKDEP_SUBCLASSES too low!
 turning off the locking correctness validator.

It's caused by the cgroup hierarchy lock:
	for (i = 0; i < CGROUP_SUBSYS_COUNT; i++) {
		struct cgroup_subsys *ss = subsys[i];
		if (ss->root == root)
			mutex_lock_nested(&ss->hierarchy_mutex, i);
	}

Now we have 9 cgroup subsystems, and the above 'i' for net_cls is 8, but
MAX_LOCKDEP_SUBCLASSES is 8.

This patch uses different lockdep keys for different subsystems.

00f62f614b ring_buffer: pahole struct ring_buffer
While fixing some bugs in pahole (built-in.o files were not being
processed due to relocation problems) I found out about these packable
structures:

$ pahole --packable kernel/trace/ring_buffer.o  | grep ring
ring_buffer	72	64	8
ring_buffer_per_cpu	112	104	8

If we take a look at the current layout of struct ring_buffer we can see
that we have two 4 bytes holes.

$ pahole -C ring_buffer kernel/trace/ring_buffer.o
struct ring_buffer {
	unsigned int               pages;           /*     0     4 */
	unsigned int               flags;           /*     4     4 */
	int                        cpus;            /*     8     4 */

	/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

	cpumask_var_t              cpumask;         /*    16     8 */
	atomic_t                   record_disabled; /*    24     4 */

	/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

	struct mutex               mutex;           /*    32    32 */
	/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
	struct ring_buffer_per_cpu * * buffers;     /*    64     8 */

	/* size: 72, cachelines: 2, members: 7 */
	/* sum members: 64, holes: 2, sum holes: 8 */
	/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
};

So, if I ask pahole to reorganize it:

$ pahole -C ring_buffer --reorganize kernel/trace/ring_buffer.o

struct ring_buffer {
	unsigned int               pages;           /*     0     4 */
	unsigned int               flags;           /*     4     4 */
	int                        cpus;            /*     8     4 */
	atomic_t                   record_disabled; /*    12     4 */
	cpumask_var_t              cpumask;         /*    16     8 */
	struct mutex               mutex;           /*    24    32 */
	struct ring_buffer_per_cpu * * buffers;     /*    56     8 */
	/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */

	/* size: 64, cachelines: 1, members: 7 */
};   /* saved 8 bytes and 1 cacheline! */

We get it using just one 64 bytes cacheline.

To see what it did:

$ pahole -C ring_buffer --reorganize --show_reorg_steps \
	kernel/trace/ring_buffer.o | grep \/
/* Moving 'record_disabled' from after 'cpumask' to after 'cpus' */

06eb23b1ba ptrace, x86: fix the usage of ptrace_fork()
I noticed by pure accident we have ptrace_fork() and friends. This was
added by "x86, bts: add fork and exit handling", commit
bf53de907d.

I can't test this, ds_request_bts() returns -EOPNOTSUPP, but I strongly
believe this needs the fix. I think something like this program

	int main(void)
	{
		int pid = fork();

		if (!pid) {
			ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0, NULL, NULL);
			kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP);
			fork();
		} else {
			struct ptrace_bts_config bts = {
				.flags = PTRACE_BTS_O_ALLOC,
				.size  = 4 * 4096,
			};

			wait(NULL);

			ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, NULL, PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK);
			ptrace(PTRACE_BTS_CONFIG, pid, &bts, sizeof(bts));
			ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, NULL, NULL);

			sleep(1);
		}

		return 0;
	}

should crash the kernel.

If the task is traced by its natural parent ptrace_reparented() returns 0
but we should clear ->btsxxx anyway.

1) We haven't copied it for bpage is changed:
   bpage = cpu_buffer->reader_page->page;
   memcpy(bpage->data, cpu_buffer->reader_page->page->data + read ... )
2) We need update cpu_buffer->reader_page->read, but
   "cpu_buffer->reader_page += read;" is not right.

[
  This bug was a typo. The commit->reader_page is a page pointer
  and not an index into the page. The line should have been
  commit->reader_page->read += read.  The other changes
  by Lai are nice clean ups to the code.  - SDR

b91facc367 tracing/function-graph-tracer: handle the leaf functions from trace_pipe
When one cats the trace file, the leaf functions are printed without brackets:

 function();

whereas in the trace_pipe file we'll see the following:

 function() {
 }

This is because the ring_buffer handling is not the same between those two files.
On the trace file, when an entry is printed, the iterator advanced and then we can
check the next entry.

There is no iterator with trace_pipe, the current entry to print has been peeked
and not consumed. So checking the next entry will still return the current one while
we don't consume it.

This patch introduces a new value for the output callbacks to ask the tracing
core to not consume the current entry after printing it.

We need it because we will have to consume the current entry ourself to check
the next one.

Now the trace_pipe is able to handle well the leaf functions.

1dfba05d0f tracing/blktrace: move the tracing file to kernel/trace, fix
Impact: build fix

The BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE entry used to be in block/Kconfig - which
file itself was dependent on CONFIG_BLOCK. But now the entry is
in kernel/trace/Kconfig - which is present even on !CONFIG_BLOCK.

So add a 'depends on BLOCK' to BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE.

b5db03c435 tracing: handle unregistering the current tracer
Impact: simplification

Instead of requiring that plugins have the sequence:

  my_tracer_stop(my_trace_array);
  unregister_tracer(my_tracer);

it should be possible just do a:

  unregister_tracer(my_tracer);

3861a17bcc tracing/function-graph-tracer: drop the kernel_text_address check
When the function graph tracer picks a return address, it ensures this address
is really a kernel text one by calling __kernel_text_address()

Actually this path has never been taken.Its role was more likely to debug the tracer
on the beginning of its development but this function is wasteful since it is called
for every traced function.

The fault check is already sufficient.

1292211058 tracing/power: move the power trace headers to a dedicated file
Impact: cleanup

Move the power tracer headers to trace/power.h to keep ftrace.h and power bits
more easy to maintain as separated topics.
