The hw-branch-tracer uses debug store functions from an on_each_cpu()
context, which is simply wrong since the functions may sleep.
Add _noirq variants for most functions, which may be called with
interrupts disabled.
Separate per-cpu and per-task tracing and allow per-cpu tracing to be
controlled from any cpu.
Make the hw-branch-tracer use the new debug store interface, synchronize
with hotplug cpu event using get/put_online_cpus(), and remove the
unnecessary spinlock.
Make the ptrace bts and the ds selftest code use the new interface.
Defer the ds selftest.

Impact: fix corrupted blkparse output
Make sure messages from user space are NUL-terminated strings,
otherwise we could dump random memory to the block trace file.
Additionally, I've limited the message to BLK_TN_MAX_MSG-1

When kmemtrace was ported to ftrace, the marker strings were taken as
an indication of how the traced data was being exposed to the userspace.
However, the actual format had been binary, not text.
This restores the original binary format, while also adding an origin CPU
field (since ftrace doesn't expose the data per-CPU to userspace), and
re-adding the timestamp field. It also drops arch-independent field
sizing where it didn't make sense, so pointers won't always be 64 bits
wide like they used to.

Impact: prevent possible memory leak
The reader page of the ring buffer is special. Although it points
into the ring buffer, it is not part of the actual buffer. It is
a page used by the reader to swap with a page in the ring buffer.
Once the swap is made, the new reader page is again outside the
buffer.
Even though the reader page points into the buffer, it is really
pointing to residual data. Note, this data is used by the reader.

------- Buffer---------
If we perform a list_del_init() on the reader page we will actually remove
the last page the reader swapped with and not the reader page itself.
This will cause that page to not be freed, and thus is a memory leak.
Luckily, the only user of the ring buffer so far is ftrace. And ftrace
will not free its ring buffer after it allocates it. There is no current
possible memory leak. But once there are other users, or if ftrace
dynamically creates and frees its ring buffer, then this would be a
memory leak.
This patch fixes the leak for future cases.

Impact: fix to permanent disabling of function graph tracer
There should be nothing to prevent a tracer from unregistering a

But currently, the counter does not account for mulitple unregistering

tracer will be permanently disabled.

Impact: fix mixed ioctl and ftrace-plugin blktrace use refcount bugs
ioctl-based blktrace allocates bt and registers tracepoints when
ioctl(BLKTRACESETUP), and do all cleanups when ioctl(BLKTRACETEARDOWN).
while ftrace-based blktrace allocates/frees bt when:
# echo 1/0 > /sys/block/sda/sda1/trace/enable
and registers/unregisters tracepoints when:
# echo blk/nop > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer
or
# echo 1/0 > /debugfs/tracing/tracing_enable
The separatation of allocation and registeration causes 2 problems:
1. current user-space blktrace still calls ioctl(TEARDOWN) when
ioctl(SETUP) failed:
# echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/sda1/trace/enable
# blktrace /dev/sda
BLKTRACESETUP: Device or resource busy
^C
and now blk_probes_ref == -1
2. Another way to make blk_probes_ref == -1:
# plugin sdb && mount sdb1
# echo 1 > /sys/block/sdb/sdb1/trace/enable
# remove sdb
This patch does the allocation and registeration when writing
sdaX/trace/enable.

Currently the original blktrace, which is using relay and is used via
ioctl, is broken. You can use ftrace to see the output of blktrace,
but user-space blktrace is unusable.
It's broken by "blktrace: add ftrace plugin"
(c71a896154119f4ca9e89d6078f5f63ad60ef199)
- if (unlikely(bt->trace_state != Blktrace_running))
+ if (unlikely(bt->trace_state != Blktrace_running || !blk_tracer_enabled))
return;
With this patch, both ioctl and ftrace can be used, but of course you
can't use both of them at the same time.

Impact: safer code
The on the fly allocator for the function profiler was to save
memory. But at the expense of stability. Although it survived several
tests, allocating from the function tracer is just too risky, just
to save space.
This patch removes the allocator and simply allocates enough entries
at start up.
Each function gets a profiling structure of 40 bytes. With an average
of 20K functions, and this is for each CPU, we have 800K per online
CPU. This is not too bad, at least for non-embedded.

get better readings, avoid races, we also do not have to take any
locks.

If the function graph trace is enabled, the function profiler will
use it to take the timing of the functions.
cat /debug/tracing/trace_stat/functions
Function Hit Time
-------- --- ----
mwait_idle 127 183028.4 us
schedule 26 151997.7 us
__schedule 31 151975.1 us
sys_wait4 2 74080.53 us
do_wait 2 74077.80 us
sys_newlstat 138 39929.16 us
do_path_lookup 179 39845.79 us
vfs_lstat_fd 138 39761.97 us
user_path_at 153 39469.58 us
path_walk 179 39435.76 us
__link_path_walk 189 39143.73 us
[...]
Note the times are skewed due to the function graph tracer not taking
into account schedules.

Impact: reduce size of memory in function profiler
The function profiler originally introduces its counters into the
function records itself. There is 20 thousand different functions on
a normal system, and that is adding 20 thousand counters for profiling
event when not needed.
A normal run of the profiler yields only a couple of thousand functions
executed, depending on what is being profiled. This means we have around
18 thousand useless counters.
This patch rectifies this by moving the data out of the function
records used by dynamic ftrace. Data is preallocated to hold the functions
when the profiling begins. Checks are made during profiling to see if
more recorcds should be allocated, and they are allocated if it is safe
to do so.
This also removes the dependency from using dynamic ftrace, and also
removes the overhead by having it enabled.

Impact: new profiling feature
This patch adds a function profiler. In debugfs/tracing/ two new
files are created.
function_profile_enabled - to enable or disable profiling
trace_stat/functions - the profiled functions.
For example:
echo 1 > /debugfs/tracing/function_profile_enabled
./hackbench 50
echo 0 > /debugfs/tracing/function_profile_enabled
yields:
cat /debugfs/tracing/trace_stat/functions
Function Hit
-------- ---
_spin_lock 10106442
_spin_unlock 10097492
kfree 6013704
_spin_unlock_irqrestore 4423941
_spin_lock_irqsave 4406825
__phys_addr 4181686
__slab_free 4038222
dput 4030130
path_put 4023387
unroll_tree_refs 4019532
[...]
The most hit functions are listed first. Functions that are not
hit are not listed.
This feature depends on and uses dynamic function tracing. When the
function profiling is disabled, no overhead occurs. But it still
takes up around 300KB to hold the data, thus it is not recomended
to keep it enabled for systems low on memory.
When a '1' is echoed into the function_profile_enabled file, the
counters for is function is reset back to zero. Thus you can see what
functions are hit most by different programs.

Currently, if a trace_stat user wants a handle to some private data,
the trace_stat infrastructure does not supply a way to do that.
This patch passes the trace_stat structure to the start function of
the trace_stat code.

Impact: cleanup
struct dyn_ftrace::ip has different usages in his lifecycle,
we use union for it. And also for struct dyn_ftrace::flags.

Impact: fix PID output under namespaces
When current namespace is not the global namespace,
pid read from set_ftrace_pid is no correct.
# ~/newpid_namespace_run bash
# echo $$
1
# echo 1 > set_ftrace_pid
# cat set_ftrace_pid
3756
Since we write virtual PID to set_ftrace_pid, we need get
virtual PID when we read it.

Impact: give user a choice to show times spent while sleeping
The user may want to see the time a function spent sleeping.
This patch adds the trace option "sleep-time" to allow that.
The "sleep-time" option is default on.
echo sleep-time > /debug/tracing/trace_options
produces:
------------------------------------------
2) avahi-d-3428 => <idle>-0
------------------------------------------
2) | finish_task_switch() {
2) 0.621 us | _spin_unlock_irq();
2) 2.202 us | }
2) ! 1002.197 us | }
2) ! 1003.521 us | }
where as,
echo nosleep-time > /debug/tracing/trace_options
produces:
0) <idle>-0 => yum-upd-3416
------------------------------------------
0) | finish_task_switch() {
0) 0.643 us | _spin_unlock_irq();
0) 2.342 us | }
0) + 41.302 us | }
0) + 42.453 us | }

Impact: more accurate timings
The current method of function graph tracing does not take into
account the time spent when a task is not running. This shows functions
that call schedule have increased costs:
3) + 18.664 us | }
------------------------------------------
3) <idle>-0 => kblockd-123
------------------------------------------
3) | finish_task_switch() {
3) 1.441 us | _spin_unlock_irq();
3) 3.966 us | }
3) ! 2959.433 us | }
3) ! 2961.465 us | }
This patch uses the tracepoint in the scheduling context switch to
account for time that has elapsed while a task is scheduled out.
Now we see:
------------------------------------------
3) <idle>-0 => edac-po-1067
------------------------------------------
3) | finish_task_switch() {
3) 0.685 us | _spin_unlock_irq();
3) 2.331 us | }
3) + 41.439 us | }
3) + 42.663 us | }

Impact: prevent crash due to multiple function graph tracers
The function graph tracer can currently only handle a single tracer
being registered. If another tracer registers with the function
graph tracer it can crash the system.

If the function profiler does not have any items recorded and one were
to cat the function stat file, the kernel would take a BUG with a NULL
pointer dereference.
Looking further into this, I found that returning NULL from stat_start
did not stop the stat logic, and would later call stat_next. This breaks
from the way seq_file works, so I looked into fixing the stat code.
This is where I noticed that the last next_entry is never freed.
It is allocated, and if the stat_next returns NULL, the code breaks out
of the loop, unlocks the mutex and exits. We never link the next_entry
nor do we free it. Thus it is a real memory leak.
This patch rearranges the code a bit to not only fix the memory leak,
but also to act more like seq_file where nothing is printed if there
is nothing to print. That is, stat_start returns NULL.
