2009-04-29tracing: only add splice page if entries existSteven Rostedt
The splice code allocates a page even when the ring buffer is empty. It detects the ring buffer being empty when it it fails to copy anything from the ring buffer into the page. This patch adds a check to see if there is anything in the ring buffer before allocating a page. Thanks to logdev for letting me trace the tracer to find this.

2009-04-29tracing: fix ref count in splice pagesSteven Rostedt
The pages allocated for the splice binary buffer did not initialize the ref count correctly. This caused pages not to be freed and causes a drastic memory leak.

2009-04-28tracing: convert ftrace_dump spinlocks to rawSteven Rostedt
ftrace_dump is used for printing out the contents of the ftrace ring buffer to the console on failure. Currently it uses a spinlock to synchronize the output from multiple failures on different CPUs. This spin lock currently is a normal spinlock and can cause issues with lockdep and lock tracing. This patch converts it to raw since it is for error handling only. The lock is local to the ftrace_dump and is not used by any other infrastructure.

2009-04-28irq: only update affinity if ->set_affinity() is sucessfullYinghai Lu
irq_set_affinity() and move_masked_irq() try to assign affinity before calling chip set_affinity(). Some archs are assigning it in ->set_affinity() again. We do something like: cpumask_cpy(desc->affinity, mask); desc->chip->set_affinity(mask); But in the failure path, affinity should not be touched - otherwise we'll end up with a different affinity mask despite the failure to migrate the IRQ. So try to update the afffinity only if set_affinity returns with 0. Also call irq_set_thread_affinity accordingly. v2: update after "irq, x86: Remove IRQ_DISABLED check in process context IRQ move" v3: according to Ingo, change set_affinity() in irq_chip should return int. v4: update comments by removing moving irq_desc code.

2009-04-26tracing/events: make modules have their own file_operations structureSteven Rostedt
For proper module reference counting, the file_operations that modules use must have the "owner" field set to the module. Unfortunately, the trace events use share file_operations. The same file_operations are used by all both kernel core and all modules. This patch makes the modules allocate their own file_operations and copies the functions from the core kernel. This allows those file operations to be owned by the module. Care is taken to free this code on module unload. Thanks to Greg KH for reminding me that file_operations must be owned by the module to have reference counting take place.

2009-04-24tracing/events: reuse trace event ids after overflowSteven Rostedt
With modules being able to add trace events, and the max trace event counter is 16 bits (65536) we can overflow the counter easily with a simple while loop adding and removing modules that contain trace events. This patch links together the registered trace events and on overflow searches for available trace event ids. It will still fail if over 65536 events are registered, but considering that a typical kernel only has 22000 functions, 65000 events should be sufficient.

2009-04-24PM/Hibernate: Fix waiting for image device to appear on resumeRafael J. Wysocki
Commit c751085943362143f84346d274e0011419c84202 ("PM/Hibernate: Wait for SCSI devices scan to complete during resume") added a call to scsi_complete_async_scans() to software_resume(), so that it waited for the SCSI scanning to complete, but the call was added at a wrong place. Namely, it should have been added after wait_for_device_probe(), which is called only if the image partition hasn't been specified yet. Also, it's reasonable to check if the image partition is present and only wait for the device probing and SCSI scanning to complete if it is not the case. Additionally, since noresume is checked right at the beginning of software_resume() and the function returns immediately if it's set, it doesn't make sense to check it once again later.

2009-04-23tracing: add size checks for exported ftrace internal structuresSteven Rostedt
The events exported by TRACE_EVENT are automated and are guaranteed to be correct when used. The internal ftrace structures on the other hand are more manually exported. These require the ftrace maintainer to make sure they are up to date. This patch adds a size check to help flag when a type changes in an internal ftrace data structure, and the update needs to be reflected in the export. If a export is incorrect, then the only harm is that the user space tools will not know how to correctly read the internal structures of ftrace.

2009-04-23tracing: increase size of number of possible eventsSteven Rostedt
With the new event tracing registration, we must increase the number of events that can be registered. Currently the type field is only one byte, which leaves us only 256 possible events. Since we do not save the CPU number in the tracer anymore (it is determined by the per cpu ring buffer that is used) we have an extra byte to use. This patch increases the size of type from 1 byte (256 events) to 2 bytes (65,536 events). It also adds a WARN_ON_ONCE if we exceed that limit.

2009-04-23tracing/wakeup: move access to wakeup_cpu into spinlockSteven Rostedt
The code had the following outside the lock: if (next != wakeup_task) return; pc = preempt_count(); /* The task we are waiting for is waking up */ data = wakeup_trace->data[wakeup_cpu]; On initialization, wakeup_task is NULL and wakeup_cpu -1. This code is not under a lock. If wakeup_task is set on another CPU as that task is waking up, we can see the wakeup_task before wakeup_cpu is set. If we read wakeup_cpu while it is still -1 then we will have a bad data pointer. This patch moves the reading of wakeup_cpu within the protection of the spinlock used to protect the writing of wakeup_cpu and wakeup_task.

2009-04-21ring-buffer: only warn on wrap if buffer is bigger than two pagesSteven Rostedt
On boot up, to save memory, ftrace allocates the minimum buffer which is two pages. Ftrace also goes through a series of tests (when configured) on boot up. These tests can fill up a page within a single interrupt. The ring buffer also has a WARN_ON when it detects that the buffer was completely filled within a single commit (other commits are allowed to be nested). Combine the small buffer on start up, with the tests that can fill more than a single page within an interrupt, this can trigger the WARN_ON. This patch makes the WARN_ON only happen when the ring buffer consists of more than two pages.

2009-04-20tracing: use recursive counter over irq levelSteven Rostedt
Althought using the irq level (hardirq_count, softirq_count and in_nmi) was nice to detect bad recursion right away, but since the counters are not atomically updated with respect to the interrupts, the function tracer might trigger the test from an interrupt handler before the hardirq_count is updated. This will trigger a false warning. This patch converts the recursive detection to a simple counter.

The pair of helpers trace_recursive_lock() and trace_recursive_unlock() have been introduced recently to provide generic tracing recursion protection.

Then we must also unlock the recursion protection on discard time, otherwise the tracing gets definitely deactivated and a warning is raised spuriously, such as: 111.119821] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 111.119829] WARNING: at kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:1498 ring_buffer_lock_reserve+0x1b7/0x1d0() [ 111.119835] Hardware name: AMILO Li 2727 [ 111.119839] Modules linked in: [ 111.119846] Pid: 5731, comm: Xorg Tainted: G W 2.6.30-rc1 #69 [ 111.119851] Call Trace: [ 111.119863] [<ffffffff8025ce68>] warn_slowpath+0xd8/0x130 [ 111.119873] [<ffffffff8028a30f>] ? __lock_acquire+0x19f/0x1ae0 [ 111.119882] [<ffffffff8028a30f>] ? __lock_acquire+0x19f/0x1ae0 [ 111.119891] [<ffffffff802199b0>] ? native_sched_clock+0x20/0x70 [ 111.119899] [<ffffffff80286dee>] ? put_lock_stats+0xe/0x30 [ 111.119906] [<ffffffff80286eb8>] ? lock_release_holdtime+0xa8/0x150 [ 111.119913] [<ffffffff802c8ae7>] ring_buffer_lock_reserve+0x1b7/0x1d0 [ 111.119921] [<ffffffff802cd110>] trace_buffer_lock_reserve+0x30/0x70 [ 111.119930] [<ffffffff802ce000>] trace_current_buffer_lock_reserve+0x20/0x30 [ 111.119939] [<ffffffff802474e8>] ftrace_raw_event_sched_switch+0x58/0x100 [ 111.119948] [<ffffffff808103b7>] __schedule+0x3a7/0x4cd [ 111.119957] [<ffffffff80211b56>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b [ 111.119964] [<ffffffff80211b56>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b [ 111.119971] [<ffffffff80810c08>] schedule+0x18/0x40 [ 111.119977] [<ffffffff80810e09>] preempt_schedule+0x39/0x60 [ 111.119985] [<ffffffff80813bd3>] _read_unlock+0x53/0x60 [ 111.119993] [<ffffffff807259d2>] sock_def_readable+0x72/0x80 [ 111.120002] [<ffffffff807ad5ed>] unix_stream_sendmsg+0x24d/0x3d0 [ 111.120011] [<ffffffff807219a3>] sock_aio_write+0x143/0x160 [ 111.120019] [<ffffffff80211b56>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b [ 111.120026] [<ffffffff80721860>] ? sock_aio_write+0x0/0x160 [ 111.120033] [<ffffffff80721860>] ? sock_aio_write+0x0/0x160 [ 111.120042] [<ffffffff8031c283>] do_sync_readv_writev+0xf3/0x140 [ 111.120049] [<ffffffff80211b56>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b [ 111.120057] [<ffffffff80276ff0>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x40 [ 111.120067] [<ffffffff8045d489>] ? cap_file_permission+0x9/0x10 [ 111.120074] [<ffffffff8045c1e6>] ? security_file_permission+0x16/0x20 [ 111.120082] [<ffffffff8031cab4>] do_readv_writev+0xd4/0x1f0 [ 111.120089] [<ffffffff80211b56>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b [ 111.120097] [<ffffffff80211b56>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b [ 111.120105] [<ffffffff8031cc18>] vfs_writev+0x48/0x70 [ 111.120111] [<ffffffff8031cd65>] sys_writev+0x55/0xc0 [ 111.120119] [<ffffffff80211e32>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [ 111.120125] ---[ end trace 15605f4e98d5ccb5 ]--- [ Impact: fix spurious warning triggering tracing shutdown ] Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>
2009-04-19tracing/core: Add current context on tracing recursion warningFrederic Weisbecker
In case of tracing recursion detection, we only get the stacktrace. But the current context may be very useful to debug the issue. This patch adds the softirq/hardirq/nmi context with the warning using lockdep context display to have a familiar output. v2: Use printk_once() v3: drop {hardirq,softirq}_context which depend on lockdep, only keep what is part of current->trace_recursion, sufficient to debug the warning source.

2009-04-19PM/Suspend: Introduce two new platform callbacks to avoid breakageRafael J. Wysocki
Commit 900af0d973856d6feb6fc088c2d0d3fde57707d3 (PM: Change suspend code ordering) changed the ordering of suspend code in such a way that the platform .prepare() callback is now executed after the device drivers' late suspend callbacks have run. Unfortunately, this turns out to break ARM platforms that need to talk via I2C to power control devices during the .prepare() callback. For this reason introduce two new platform suspend callbacks, .prepare_late() and .wake(), that will be called just prior to disabling non-boot CPUs and right after bringing them back on line, respectively, and use them instead of .prepare() and .finish() for ACPI suspend. Make the PM core execute the .prepare() and .finish() platform suspend callbacks where they were executed previously (that is, right after calling the regular suspend methods provided by device drivers and right before executing their regular resume methods, respectively). It is not necessary to make analogous changes to the hibernation code and data structures at the moment, because they are only used by ACPI platforms. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2009-04-18Remove 'recurse into child resources' logic from 'reserve_region_with_split()'Linus Torvalds
This function is not actually used right now, since the original use case for it was done with insert_resource_expand_to_fit() instead. However, we now have another usage case that wants to basically do a "reserve IO resource, splitting around existing resources", however that one doesn't actually want the "recurse into the conflicting resource" logic at all. And since recursing into the conflicting resource was the most complex part, and isn't wanted, just remove it. Maybe we'll some day want both versions, but we can just resurrect the logic then.

2009-04-17tracing: protect trace_printk from recursionSteven Rostedt
trace_printk can be called from any context, including NMIs. If this happens, then we must test for for recursion before grabbing any spinlocks. This patch prevents trace_printk from being called recursively.

2009-04-17tracing: add same level recursion detectionSteven Rostedt
The tracing infrastructure allows for recursion. That is, an interrupt may interrupt the act of tracing an event, and that interrupt may very well perform its own trace. This is a recursive trace, and is fine to do. The problem arises when there is a bug, and the utility doing the trace calls something that recurses back into the tracer. This recursion is not caused by an external event like an interrupt, but by code that is not expected to recurse. The result could be a lockup. This patch adds a bitmask to the task structure that keeps track of the trace recursion. To find the interrupt depth, the following algorithm is used: level = hardirq_count() + softirq_count() + in_nmi; Here, level will be the depth of interrutps and softirqs, and even handles the nmi. Then the corresponding bit is set in the recursion bitmask. If the bit was already set, we know we had a recursion at the same level and we warn about it and fail the writing to the buffer. After the data has been committed to the buffer, we clear the bit. No atomics are needed. The only races are with interrupts and they reset the bitmask before returning anywy.
