runqueue_is_locked() is unavoidably racy due to a poor interface design.
It does
cpu = get_cpu()
ret = some_perpcu_thing(cpu);
put_cpu(cpu);
return ret;
Its return value is unreliable.

The state of the function pair tracing_stop()/tracing_start() is
correctly considered when tracer data are updated. However, the global

The userstack trace required the recording of the tgid entry.

The irqsoff tracer will fail to swap the cpu buffer with the max

makes the tracer report it if the last max latency failed due to preempting
a current commit.
The output of the latency tracer will look like this:

The latency tracers (irqsoff and wakeup) can swap trace buffers
on the fly. If an event is happening and has reserved data on one of
the buffers, and the latency tracer swaps the global buffer with the
max buffer, the result is that the event may commit the data to the
wrong buffer.
This patch changes the API to the trace recording to be recieve the
buffer that was used to reserve a commit. Then this buffer can be passed
in to the commit.

Reseting the trace buffer without first disabling the buffer and
waiting for any writers to complete, can corrupt the ring buffer.
This patch makes the external version of tracing_reset safe from
corruption by disabling the ring buffer and calling synchronize_sched.
This version can no longer be called from interrupt context. But all those
callers have been removed.

Currently the latency tracers reset the ring buffer. Unfortunately
if a commit is in process (due to a trace event), this can corrupt
the ring buffer. When this happens, the ring buffer will detect
the corruption and then permanently disable the ring buffer.
The bug does not crash the system, but it does prevent further tracing
after the bug is hit.
Instead of reseting the trace buffers, the timestamp of the start of
the trace is used instead. The buffers will still contain the previous
data, but the output will not count any data that is before the
timestamp of the trace.
Note, this only affects the static trace output (trace) and not the
runtime trace output (trace_pipe). The runtime trace output does not
make sense for the latency tracers anyway.

The function tracing_reset is deprecated for outside use of trace.c.
The new function to reset the the buffers is tracing_reset_online_cpus.
The reason for this is that resetting the buffers while the event
trace points are active can corrupt the buffers, because they may
be writing at the time of reset. The tracing_reset_online_cpus disables
writes and waits for current writers to finish.
This patch replaces all users of tracing_reset except for the latency
tracers. Those changes require more work and will be removed in the
following patches.

Resetting the ring buffers while traces are happening can corrupt
the ring buffer and disable it (no kernel crash to worry about).
The safest thing to do is disable the ring buffers, call synchronize_sched()

During development of the tracer, we would copy information from
the live tracer to the max tracer with one memcpy. Since then we
added a generic ring buffer and we handle the copies differently now.
Unfortunately, we never copied the critical section information, and
we lost the output:
# => started at: kmem_cache_alloc
# => ended at: kmem_cache_alloc
This patch adds back the critical start and end copying as well as
removes the unused "trace_idx" and "overrun" fields of the
trace_array_cpu structure.

"echo noglobal-clock > trace_options" can be used to change trace

This patch implements the kernel side support for ftrace event
record sampling.
A new counter sampling attribute is added:
PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD
which requests ftrace events record sampling. In this case
if a PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT counter is active and a tracepoint
fires, we emit the tracepoint binary record to the
perfcounter event buffer, as a sample.
Result, after setting PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD attribute from perf
record:
perf record -f -F 1 -a -e workqueue:workqueue_execution
perf report -D
0x21e18 [0x48]: event: 9
.
. ... raw event: size 72 bytes

0x21e18 [0x48]: PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE (IP, 1): 10: 0xffffffff8100c7d0 period: 33
The raw ftrace binary record starts at offset 0020.
Translation:
struct trace_entry {
type = 0x2b = 43;
flags = 1;
preempt_count = 2;
pid = 0xa = 10;
tgid = 0xa = 10;
}
thread_comm = "events/1"
thread_pid = 0xa = 10;
func = 0xffffffff8131b1e0 = flush_to_ldisc()
What will come next?
- Userspace support ('perf trace'), 'flight data recorder' mode
for perf trace, etc.
- The unconditional copy from the profiling callback brings
some costs however if someone wants no such sampling to
occur, and needs to be fixed in the future. For that we need
to have an instant access to the perf counter attribute.
This is a matter of a flag to add in the struct ftrace_event.
- Take care of the events recursivity! Don't ever try to record
a lock event for example, it seems some locking is used in
the profiling fast path and lead to a tracing recursivity.
That will be fixed using raw spinlock or recursivity
protection.

- Profit! :-)

About a half events are missing when we splice_read
from trace_pipe. They are unexpectedly consumed because we ignore
the TRACE_TYPE_NO_CONSUME return value used by the function graph
tracer when it needs to consume the events by itself to walk on
the ring buffer.
The same problem appears with ftrace_dump()
Example of an output before this patch:
1) | ktime_get_real() {
1) 2.846 us | read_hpet();
1) 4.558 us | }
1) 6.195 us | }
After this patch:
0) | ktime_get_real() {
0) | getnstimeofday() {
0) 1.960 us | read_hpet();
0) 3.597 us | }
0) 5.196 us | }
The fix also applies on 2.6.30

The current code will truncate the ftrace files contents if O_APPEND
is not set and the file is opened in write mode. This is incorrect.
It should only truncate the file if O_TRUNC is set. Otherwise
if one of these files is opened by a C program with fopen "r+",
it will incorrectly truncate the file.

This patch converts the ring buffers into a completely lockless
buffer recording system. The read side still takes locks since
we still serialize readers. But the writers are the ones that
must be lockless (those can happen in NMIs).
The main change is to the "head_page" pointer. We write to the
tail, and read from the head. The "head_page" pointer in the cpu
buffer is now just a reference to where to look. The real head
page is now kept in the head_page->list->prev->next pointer.
That is, in the list head of the previous page we set flags.
The list pages are allocated to be aligned such that the lowest
significant bits are always zero pointing to the list. This gives
us play to put in flags to their pointers.
bit 0: set when the page is a head page
bit 1: set when the writer is moving the page (for overwrite mode)
cmpxchg is used to update the pointer.
When the writer wraps the buffer and the tail meets the head,
in overwrite mode, the writer must move the head page forward.
It first uses cmpxchg to change the pointer flag from 1 to 2.
Once this is done, the reader on another CPU will not take the
page from the buffer.
The writers need to protect against interrupts (we don't bother with
disabling interrupts because NMIs are allowed to write too).
After the writer sets the pointer flag to 2, it takes care to
manage interrupts coming in. This is discribed in detail within the
comments of the code.
Changes in version 2:
- Let reader reset entries value of header page.
- Fix tail page passing commit page on reader page test.
- Always increment entries and write counter in rb_tail_page_update
- Add safety check in rb_set_commit_to_write to break out of infinite loop
- add mask in rb_is_reader_page
[ Impact: lock free writing to the ring buffer ]

Many developers use "/debug/" or "/debugfs/" or "/sys/kernel/debug/"
directory name to mount debugfs filesystem for ftrace according to
./Documentation/tracers/ftrace.txt file.
And, three directory names(ex:/debug/, /debugfs/, /sys/kernel/debug/) is
existed in kernel source like ftrace, DRM, Wireless, Documentation,
Network[sky2]files to mount debugfs filesystem.
debugfs means debug filesystem for debugging easy to use by greg kroah

The trace_pipe did not recognize the latency format flag and would produce
different output than the trace file. The problem was partly due that
the trace flags in the iterator was not set as well as the trace_pipe
zeros out part of the iterator (including the flags) to be able to use
the same routines as the trace file. trace_flags of the iterator should
not cause any problems when not zeroed out by for trace_pipe.

s390 code uses smp_processor_id() in __raw_spin_lock() code which
reveals that a (raw) spinlock is taken without preemption disabled.
This can potentially deadlock.
To fix this explicitly disable and enable preemption.

I found that there is nothing to protect event_hash in
ftrace_find_event(). Rcu protects the event hashlist
but not the event itself while we use it after its extraction
through ftrace_find_event().
This lack of a proper locking in this spot opens a race
window between any event dereferencing and module removal.
Eg:
--Task A--
print_trace_line(trace) {
event = find_ftrace_event(trace)
--Task B--
trace_module_remove_events(mod) {
list_trace_events_module(ev, mod) {
unregister_ftrace_event(ev->event) {
hlist_del(ev->event->node)
list_del(....)
}
}
}
|--> module removed, the event has been dropped
--Task A--
event->print(trace); // Dereferencing freed memory
If the event retrieved belongs to a module and this module
is concurrently removed, we may end up dereferencing a data
from a freed module.
RCU could solve this, but it would add latency to the kernel and
forbid tracers output callbacks to call any sleepable code.
So this fix converts 'trace_event_mutex' to a read/write semaphore,
and adds trace_event_read_lock() to protect ftrace_find_event().
