git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "New tracing features: - The ring buffer is no longer disabled when reading the trace file. The trace_pipe file was made to be used for live tracing and reading as it acted like the normal producer/consumer. As the trace file would not consume the data, the easy way of handling it was to just disable writes to the ring buffer. This came to a surprise to the BPF folks who complained about lost events due to reading. This is no longer an issue. If someone wants to keep the old disabling there's a new option "pause-on-trace" that can be set. - New set_ftrace_notrace_pid file. PIDs in this file will not be traced by the function tracer. Similar to set_ftrace_pid, which makes the function tracer only trace those tasks with PIDs in the file, the set_ftrace_notrace_pid does the reverse. - New set_event_notrace_pid file. PIDs in this file will cause events not to be traced if triggered by a task with a matching PID. Similar to the set_event_pid file but will not be traced. Note, sched_waking and sched_switch events may still be traced if one of the tasks referenced by those events contains a PID that is allowed to be traced. Tracing related features: - New bootconfig option, that is attached to the initrd file. If bootconfig is on the command line, then the initrd file is searched looking for a bootconfig appended at the end. - New GPU tracepoint infrastructure to help the gfx drivers to get off debugfs (acked by Greg Kroah-Hartman) And other minor updates and fixes" * tag 'trace-v5.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (27 commits) tracing: Do not allocate buffer in trace_find_next_entry() in atomic tracing: Add documentation on set_ftrace_notrace_pid and set_event_notrace_pid selftests/ftrace: Add test to test new set_event_notrace_pid file selftests/ftrace: Add test to test new set_ftrace_notrace_pid file tracing: Create set_event_notrace_pid to not trace tasks ftrace: Create set_ftrace_notrace_pid to not trace tasks ftrace: Make function trace pid filtering a bit more exact ftrace/kprobe: Show the maxactive number on kprobe_events tracing: Have the document reflect that the trace file keeps tracing enabled ring-buffer/tracing: Have iterator acknowledge dropped events tracing: Do not disable tracing when reading the trace file ring-buffer: Do not disable recording when there is an iterator ring-buffer: Make resize disable per cpu buffer instead of total buffer ring-buffer: Optimize rb_iter_head_event() ring-buffer: Do not die if rb_iter_peek() fails more than thrice ring-buffer: Have rb_iter_head_event() handle concurrent writer ring-buffer: Add page_stamp to iterator for synchronization ring-buffer: Rename ring_buffer_read() to read_buffer_iter_advance() ring-buffer: Have ring_buffer_empty() not depend on tracing stopped tracing: Save off entry when peeking at next entry ...

2020-03-03tracing: Have hwlat ts be first instance and record count of instancesSteven Rostedt (VMware)
The hwlat tracer runs a loop of width time during a given window. It then reports the max latency over a given threshold and records a timestamp. But this timestamp is the time after the width has finished, and not the time it actually triggered. Record the actual time when the latency was greater than the threshold as well as the number of times it was greater in a given width per window.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "New tracing features: - New PERMANENT flag to ftrace_ops when attaching a callback to a function. As /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled when set to zero will disable all attached callbacks in ftrace, this has a detrimental impact on live kernel tracing, as it disables all that it patched. If a ftrace_ops is registered to ftrace with the PERMANENT flag set, it will prevent ftrace_enabled from being disabled, and if ftrace_enabled is already disabled, it will prevent a ftrace_ops with PREMANENT flag set from being registered. - New register_ftrace_direct(). As eBPF would like to register its own trampolines to be called by the ftrace nop locations directly, without going through the ftrace trampoline, this function has been added. This allows for eBPF trampolines to live along side of ftrace, perf, kprobe and live patching. It also utilizes the ftrace enabled_functions file that keeps track of functions that have been modified in the kernel, to allow for security auditing. - Allow for kernel internal use of ftrace instances. Subsystems in the kernel can now create and destroy their own tracing instances which allows them to have their own tracing buffer, and be able to record events without worrying about other users from writing over their data. - New seq_buf_hex_dump() that lets users use the hex_dump() in their seq_buf usage. - Notifications now added to tracing_max_latency to allow user space to know when a new max latency is hit by one of the latency tracers. - Wider spread use of generic compare operations for use of bsearch and friends. - More synthetic event fields may be defined (32 up from 16) - Use of xarray for architectures with sparse system calls, for the system call trace events.

2019-11-04ftrace: Introduce PERMANENT ftrace_ops flagMiroslav Benes
Livepatch uses ftrace for redirection to new patched functions. It means that if ftrace is disabled, all live patched functions are disabled as well. Toggling global 'ftrace_enabled' sysctl thus affect it directly. It is not a problem per se, because only administrator can set sysctl values, but it still may be surprising. Introduce PERMANENT ftrace_ops flag to amend this. If the FTRACE_OPS_FL_PERMANENT is set on any ftrace ops, the tracing cannot be disabled by disabling ftrace_enabled. Equally, a callback with the flag set cannot be registered if ftrace_enabled is disabled.

2019-08-31tracing/probe: Add immediate parameter supportMasami Hiramatsu
Add immediate value parameter (\1234) support to probe events. This allows you to specify an immediate (or dummy) parameter instead of fetching from memory or register. This feature looks odd, but imagine when you put a probe on a code to trace some data. If the code is compiled into 2 instructions and 1 instruction has a value but other has nothing since it is optimized out. In that case, you can not fold those into one event, even if ftrace supported multiple probes on one event. With this feature, you can set a dummy value like foo=\deadbeef instead of something like foo=%di.

2019-05-25tracing/probe: Support user-space dereferenceMasami Hiramatsu
Support user-space dereference syntax for probe event arguments to dereference the data-structure or array in user-space. The syntax is just adding 'u' before an offset value. +|-u<OFFSET>(<FETCHARG>) e.g. +u8(%ax), +u0(+0(%si)) For example, if you probe do_sched_setscheduler(pid, policy, param) and record param->sched_priority, you can add new probe as below; p do_sched_setscheduler priority=+u0($arg3) Note that kprobe event provides this and it doesn't change the dereference method automatically because we do not know whether the given address is in userspace or kernel on some archs. So as same as "ustring", this is an option for user, who has to carefully choose the dereference method.

Add "ustring" type for fetching user-space string from kprobe event. User can specify ustring type at uprobe event, and it is same as "string" for uprobe. Note that probe-event provides this option but it doesn't choose the correct type automatically since we have not way to decide the address is in user-space or not on some arch (and on some other arch, you can fetch the string by "string" type). So user must carefully check the target code (e.g. if you see __user on the target variable) and use this new type.

2019-05-14mm: move recent_rotated pages calculation to shrink_inactive_list()Kirill Tkhai
Patch series "mm: Generalize putback functions"] putback_inactive_pages() and move_active_pages_to_lru() are almost similar, so this patchset merges them ina single function. This patch (of 4): The patch moves the calculation from putback_inactive_pages() to shrink_inactive_list(). This makes putback_inactive_pages() looking more similar to move_active_pages_to_lru(). To do that, we account activated pages in reclaim_stat::nr_activate. Since a page may change its LRU type from anon to file cache inside shrink_page_list() (see ClearPageSwapBacked()), we have to account pages for the both types. So, nr_activate becomes an array. Previously we used nr_activate to account PGACTIVATE events, but now we account them into pgactivate variable (since they are about number of pages in general, not about sum of hpage_nr_pages).
