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: API *CHANGE*. Must update all tracepoint users.
Add DEFINE_TRACE() to tracepoints to let them declare the tracepoint
structure in a single spot for all the kernel. It helps reducing memory
consumption, especially when declaring a lot of tracepoints, e.g. for
kmalloc tracing.
*API CHANGE WARNING*: now, DECLARE_TRACE() must be used in headers for
tracepoint declarations rather than DEFINE_TRACE(). This is the sane way
to do it. The name previously used was misleading.
Updates scheduler instrumentation to follow this API change.

Impact: new API.
Allow markers to be used only for declaration, without function call
associated. Useful to create specialized probes.
The problem we had is that two function calls were required when one
wanted to put a marker in a tracepoint probe. Now the marker can be used
simply for trace data type declaration, leaving the trace write work
within the tracepoint probe without any additional function call.

return tracer
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)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1825 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.

Impact: new unlikely/likely profiler
Andrew Morton recently suggested having an in-kernel way to profile
likely and unlikely macros. This patch achieves that goal.
When configured, every(*) likely and unlikely macro gets a counter attached
to it. When the condition is hit, the hit and misses of that condition
are recorded. These numbers can later be retrieved by:
/debugfs/tracing/profile_likely - All likely markers
/debugfs/tracing/profile_unlikely - All unlikely markers.

Note: After submitting my first version of this patch, Andrew Morton
showed me a version written by Daniel Walker, where I picked up
the following ideas from:
1) Using __builtin_constant_p to avoid profiling fixed values.
2) Using __FILE__ instead of instruction pointers.
3) Using the preprocessor to stop all profiling of likely
annotations from vsyscall_64.c.
Thanks to Andrew Morton, Arjan van de Ven, Theodore Tso and Ingo Molnar
for their feed back on this patch.
(*) Not ever unlikely is recorded, those that are used by vsyscalls
(a few of them) had to have profiling disabled.

Impact: enable/disable ring buffer recording API added
Several kernel developers have requested that there be a way to stop
recording into the ring buffers with a simple switch that can also
be enabled from userspace. This patch addes a new kernel API to the
ring buffers called:
tracing_on()
tracing_off()
When tracing_off() is called, all ring buffers will not be able to record
into their buffers.
tracing_on() will enable the ring buffers again.
These two act like an on/off switch. That is, there is no counting of the
number of times tracing_off or tracing_on has been called.
A new file is added to the debugfs/tracing directory called
tracing_on
This allows for userspace applications to also flip the switch.
echo 0 > debugfs/tracing/tracing_on
disables the tracing.
echo 1 > /debugfs/tracing/tracing_on
enables it.
Note, this does not disable or enable any tracers. It only sets or clears
a flag that needs to be set in order for the ring buffers to write to
their buffers. It is a global flag, and affects all ring buffers.
The buffers start out with tracing_on enabled.
There are now three flags that control recording into the buffers:
tracing_on: which affects all ring buffer tracers.
buffer->record_disabled: which affects an allocated buffer, which may be set
if an anomaly is detected, and tracing is disabled.
cpu_buffer->record_disabled: which is set by tracing_stop() or if an
anomaly is detected. tracing_start can not reenable this if
an anomaly occurred.
The userspace debugfs/tracing/tracing_enabled is implemented with
tracing_stop() but the user space code can not enable it if the kernel
called tracing_stop().
Userspace can enable the tracing_on even if the kernel disabled it.
It is just a switch used to stop tracing if a condition was hit.
tracing_on is not for protecting critical areas in the kernel nor is
it for stopping tracing if an anomaly occurred. This is because userspace
can reenable it at any time.
Side effect: With this patch, I discovered a dead variable in ftrace.c
called tracing_on. This patch removes it.

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.

under rq->lock
Impact: fix hang/crash on ia64 under high load
This is ugly, but the simplest patch by far.
Unlike other similar routines, account_group_exec_runtime() could be
called "implicitly" from within scheduler after exit_notify(). This
means we can race with the parent doing release_task(), we can't just
check ->signal != NULL.
Change __exit_signal() to do spin_unlock_wait(&task_rq(tsk)->lock)
before __cleanup_signal() to make sure ->signal can't be freed under
task_rq(tsk)->lock. Note that task_rq_unlock_wait() doesn't care
about the case when tsk changes cpu/rq under us, this should be OK.

This patch reverts the following three commits which convert libata to
use block layer tagging.
43a49cbdf31e812c0d8f553d433b09b421f5d52c
e013e13bf605b9e6b702adffbe2853cfc60e7806
2fca5ccf97d2c28bcfce44f5b07d85e74e3cd18e
Although using block layer tagging is the right direction, due to the
tight coupling among tag number, data structure allocation and
hardware command slot allocation, libata doesn't work correctly with
the current conversion.
The biggest problem is guaranteeing that tag 0 is always used for
non-NCQ commands. Due to the way blk-tag is implemented and how SCSI
starts and finishes requests, such guarantee can't be made. I'm not
sure whether this would actually break any low level driver but it
doesn't look like a good idea to break such assumption given the
frailty of ATA controllers.
So, for the time being, keep using the old dumb in-libata qc
allocation.

Currently, all existing users of cnt32_to_63() are fine since the CPU
architectures where it is used don't do read access reordering, and user
mode preemption is disabled already. It is nevertheless a good idea to
better elaborate usage requirements wrt preemption, and use an explicit
memory barrier on SMP to avoid different CPUs accessing the counter
value in the wrong order. On UP a simple compiler barrier is
sufficient.

fine-tune the HT sched-domains parameters as well.
On a HT capable box, this increases lat_ctx performance from 23.87
usecs to 1.49 usecs:
# before
$ ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
"size=0k ovr=1.89
2 23.87
# after
$ ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
"size=0k ovr=1.84
2 1.49

Tune SD_MC_INIT the same way as SD_CPU_INIT:
unset SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE, and set SD_WAKE_BALANCE.
This improves vmark by 5%:

__scm_destroy() walks the list of file descriptors in the scm_fp_list
pointed to by the scm_cookie argument.
Those, in turn, can close sockets and invoke __scm_destroy() again.
There is nothing which limits how deeply this can occur.
The idea for how to fix this is from Linus. Basically, we do all of
the fput()s at the top level by collecting all of the scm_fp_list
objects hit by an fput(). Inside of the initial __scm_destroy() we
keep running the list until it is empty.

Fix the hrtimer_add_expires_ns() function. It should take a 'u64 ns' argument,
but rather takes an 'unsigned long ns' argument - which might only be 32-bits.
On FRV, this results in the kernel locking up because hrtimer_forward() passes
the result of a 64-bit multiplication to this function, for which the compiler
discards the top 32-bits - something that didn't happen when ktime_add_ns() was
called directly.

This adds three helpers:
fat_make_attrs() - makes FAT attributes from inode.
fat_make_mode() - makes mode_t from FAT attributes.
fat_save_attrs() - saves FAT attributes to inode.
Then this replaces: MSDOS_MKMODE() by fat_make_mode(), fat_attr() by
fat_make_attrs(), ->i_attrs = attr & ATTR_UNUSED by fat_save_attrs().
And for root inode, those is used with ATTR_DIR instead of bogus
ATTR_NONE.

Impact: moving of function prototypes into own header file
ftrace.h is too big of a file for hardirq.h, and some archs will fail
to build because of the include dependencies not being met.
This patch pulls out the required prototypes for hardirq.h into a smaller
and safer ftrace_irq.h file.

Impact: introduce new APIs
We want to deprecate cpumasks on the stack, as we are headed for
gynormous numbers of CPUs. Eventually, we want to head towards an
undefined 'struct cpumask' so they can never be declared on stack.
1) New cpumask functions which take pointers instead of copies.
(cpus_* -> cpumask_*)
2) Several new helpers to reduce requirements for temporary cpumasks
(cpumask_first_and, cpumask_next_and, cpumask_any_and)
3) Helpers for declaring cpumasks on or offstack for large NR_CPUS
(cpumask_var_t, alloc_cpumask_var and free_cpumask_var)
4) 'struct cpumask' for explicitness and to mark new-style code.
5) Make iterator functions stop at nr_cpu_ids (a runtime constant),
not NR_CPUS for time efficiency and for smaller dynamic allocations
in future.
6) cpumask_copy() so we can allocate less than a full cpumask eventually
(for alloc_cpumask_var), and so we can eliminate the 'struct cpumask'
definition eventually.
7) work_on_cpu() helper for doing task on a CPU, rather than saving old
cpumask for current thread and manipulating it.
8) smp_call_function_many() which is smp_call_function_mask() except
taking a cpumask pointer.
Note that this patch simply introduces the new functions and leaves
the obsolescent ones in place. This is to simplify the transition
patches.

This patch (as1158b) adds round_jiffies_up() and friends. These
routines work like the analogous round_jiffies() functions, except
that they will never round down.
The new routines will be useful for timeouts where we don't care
exactly when the timer expires, provided it doesn't expire too soon.
