Impact: disable interrupts during trace entry creation (as opposed to preempt)
To help with performance, I set the ftracer to not disable interrupts,
and only to disable preemption. If an interrupt occurred, it would not
be traced, because the function tracer protects itself from recursion.
This may be faster, but the trace output might miss some traces.
This patch makes the fuction trace disable interrupts, but it also
adds a runtime feature to disable preemption instead. It does this by
having two different tracer functions. When the function tracer is
enabled, it will check to see which version is requested (irqs disabled
or preemption disabled). Then it will use the corresponding function
as the tracer.
Irq disabling is the default behaviour, but if the user wants better
performance, with the chance of missing traces, then they can choose
the preempt disabled version.
Running hackbench 3 times with the irqs disabled and 3 times with
the preempt disabled function tracer yielded:
tracing type times entries recorded
------------ -------- ----------------
irq disabled 43.393 166433066
43.282 166172618
43.298 166256704
preempt disabled 38.969 159871710
38.943 159972935
39.325 161056510
Average:
irqs disabled: 43.324 166287462
preempt disabled: 39.079 160300385
preempt is 10.8 percent faster than irqs disabled.
I wrote a patch to count function trace recursion and reran hackbench.
With irq disabled: 1,150 times the function tracer did not trace due to
recursion.
with preempt disabled: 5,117,718 times.
The thousand times with irq disabled could be due to NMIs, or simply a case
where it called a function that was not protected by notrace.
But we also see that a large amount of the trace is lost with the
preempt version.

Impact: use new, consolidated APIs in ftrace plugins

Impact: add new ftrace-plugin internal APIs
Parts of the tracer needs to be careful about schedule recursion.
If the NEED_RESCHED flag is set, a preempt_enable will call schedule.
Inside the schedule function, the NEED_RESCHED flag is cleared.
The problem arises when a trace happens in the schedule function but before
NEED_RESCHED is cleared. The race is as follows:
schedule()
>> tracer called
trace_function()
preempt_disable()
[ record trace ]
preempt_enable() <<- here's the issue.
[check NEED_RESCHED]
schedule()
[ Repeat the above, over and over again ]
The naive approach is simply to use preempt_enable_no_schedule instead.
The problem with that approach is that, although we solve the schedule
recursion issue, we now might lose a preemption check when not in the
schedule function.
trace_function()
preempt_disable()
[ record trace ]
[Interrupt comes in and sets NEED_RESCHED]
preempt_enable_no_resched()
[continue without scheduling]
The way ftrace handles this problem is with the following approach:
int resched;
resched = need_resched();
preempt_disable_notrace();
[record trace]
if (resched)
preempt_enable_no_sched_notrace();
else
preempt_enable_notrace();
This may seem like the opposite of what we want. If resched is set
then we call the "no_sched" version?? The reason we do this is because
if NEED_RESCHED is set before we disable preemption, there's two reasons
for that:
1) we are in an atomic code path
2) we are already on our way to the schedule function, and maybe even
in the schedule function, but have yet to clear the flag.
Both the above cases we do not want to schedule.
This solution has already been implemented within the ftrace infrastructure.
But the problem is that it has been implemented several times. This patch
encapsulates this code to two nice functions.
resched = ftrace_preempt_disable();
[ record trace]
ftrace_preempt_enable(resched);
This way the tracers do not need to worry about getting it right.

Peter Moulder has pointed out that there is a slight chance that a
negative value might be passed to jiffies_to_msecs() in
ata_scsi_park_show(). This is fixed by saving the value of jiffies in a
local variable, thus also reducing code since the volatile variable
jiffies is accessed only once.

All three flavors of sata_nv's are different in how their hardreset
behaves.
* generic: Hardreset is not reliable. Link often doesn't come online
after hardreset.
* nf2/3: A little bit better - link comes online with longer debounce
timing. However, nf2/3 can't reliable wait for the first D2H
Register FIS, so it can't wait for device readiness or classify the
device after hardreset. Follow-up SRST required.
* ck804: Hardreset finally works.
The core layer change to prefer hardreset and follow up changes
exposed the above issues and caused various detection regressions for
all three flavors. This patch, hopefully, fixes all the known issues
and should make sata_nv error handling more reliable.

Promise ATA engines need to be reset when errors occur.
That's currently done for errors detected by sata_promise itself,
but it's not done for errors like timeouts detected outside of
the low-level driver.
The effect of this omission is that a timeout tends to result
in a sequence of failed COMRESETs after which libata EH gives
up and disables the port. At that point the port's ATA engine
hangs and even reloading the driver will not resume it.
To fix this, make sata_promise override ->hardreset on SATA
ports with code which calls pdc_reset_port() on the port in
question before calling libata's hardreset. PATA ports don't
use ->hardreset, so for those we override ->softreset instead.

In ext4_sync_fs, we only wait for a commit to finish if we started it,
but there may be one already in progress which will not be synced.
In the case of a data=ordered umount with pending long symlinks which
are delayed due to a long list of other I/O on the backing block
device, this causes the buffer associated with the long symlinks to
not be moved to the inode dirty list in the second phase of
fsync_super. Then, before they can be dirtied again, kjournald exits,
seeing the UMOUNT flag and the dirty pages are never written to the
backing block device, causing long symlink corruption and exposing new
or previously freed block data to userspace.
To ensure all commits are synced, we flush all journal commits now
when sync_fs'ing ext4.

The mv643xx_eth mii bus implementation uses wait_event_timeout() to
wait for SMI completion interrupts.
If wait_event_timeout() would return zero, mv643xx_eth would conclude
that the SMI access timed out, but this is not necessarily true --
wait_event_timeout() can also return zero in the case where the SMI
completion interrupt did happen in time but where it took longer than
the requested timeout for the process performing the SMI access to be
scheduled again. This would lead to occasional SMI access timeouts
when the system would be under heavy load.
The fix is to ignore the return value of wait_event_timeout(), and
to re-check the SMI done bit after wait_event_timeout() returns to
determine whether or not the SMI access timed out.

Impact: ia64+tracing build fix
When a function is kprobed, the return address is set to the
kprobe_trampoline, or something similar. This caused the output
of the trace to look confusing when the parent seemed to be this
"kprobe_trampoline" function.
To fix this, Abhishek Sagar added a test of the instruction pointer
of the parent to see if it matched the kprobe_trampoline. If it
did, the output would print a "[unknown/kretprobe'd]" instead.
Unfortunately, not all archs do this the same way, and the trampoline
function may not be exported, which causes failures in builds.
This patch will compare the name instead of the pointer to see
if it matches. This prevents us from depending on a function from
being exported, and should work on all archs. The worst that can
happen is that an arch might use a different name and then we
go back to the confusing output. At least the arch will still build.
