[for-next][PATCH 01/26] tools/bootconfig: Show bootconfig compact tree from bootconfig file

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Show the bootconfig compact tree from the bootconfig file
instead of an initrd if the given file has no magic number
and is smaller than 32KB.

User can use this for checking the syntax error or output
checking before applying the bootconfig to initrd.

[for-next][PATCH 02/26] tools/bootconfig: Add list option

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Add list option (-l) to show the bootconfig in the list style.
This is same output of /proc/bootconfig. So users can check
how their bootconfig will be shown in procfs. This will help
them to write a user-space script to parse the /proc/bootconfig.

[for-next][PATCH 04/26] tools/bootconfig: Add a script to generate ftrace shell-command from bootconfig

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Add a bconf2ftrace.sh under tools/bootconfig/scripts which generates
a shell script to setup boot-time trace from bootconfig file for testing
the bootconfig.

bconf2ftrace.sh will take a bootconfig file (includes boot-time tracing)
and convert it into a shell-script which is almost same as the boot-time
tracer does.
If --apply option is given, it also tries to apply those command to the
running kernel, which requires the root privilege (or sudo).

For example, if you just want to confirm the shell commands, save
the output as below.

 # bconf2ftrace.sh ftrace.bconf > ftrace.sh

Or, you can apply it directly.

 # bconf2ftrace.sh --apply ftrace.bconf

Note that some boot-time tracing parameters under kernel.* are not able
to set via tracefs nor procfs (e.g. tp_printk, traceoff_on_warning.),
so those are ignored.

[for-next][PATCH 05/26] tools/bootconfig: Add a script to generates bootconfig from ftrace

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Add a ftrace2bconf.sh under tools/bootconfig/scripts which generates
a bootconfig file from the current ftrace settings.

To read the ftrace settings, ftrace2bconf.sh requires the root
privilege (or sudo). The ftrace2bconf.sh will output the bootconfig
to stdout and error messages to stderr, so usually you'll run it as

 # ftrace2bconf.sh > ftrace.bconf

Note that some ftrace configurations are not supported. For example,
function-call/callgraph trace/notrace settings are not supported because
the wildcard has been expanded and lost in the ftrace anymore.

[for-next][PATCH 06/26] tools/bootconfig: Add --init option for bconf2ftrace.sh

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Since the ftrace current setting may conflict with the new setting
from bootconfig, add the --init option to initialize ftrace before
setting for bconf2ftrace.sh.

E.g.
 $ bconf2ftrace.sh --init boottrace.bconf

This initialization method copied from selftests/ftrace.

[for-next][PATCH 07/26] tracing: toplevel d_entry already initialized

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Wei Yang <richard.weiyang@linux.alibaba.com>

Currently we have following call flow:

    tracer_init_tracefs()
        tracing_init_dentry()
        event_trace_init()
            tracing_init_dentry()

This shows tracing_init_dentry() is called twice in this flow and this
is not necessary.

Let's remove the second one when it is for sure be properly initialized.

[for-next][PATCH 08/26] tracing: make tracing_init_dentry() returns an integer instead of a d_entry pointer

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Wei Yang <richard.weiyang@linux.alibaba.com>

Current tracing_init_dentry() return a d_entry pointer, while is not
necessary. This function returns NULL on success or error on failure,
which means there is no valid d_entry pointer return.

Let's return 0 on success and negative value for error.

[for-next][PATCH 11/26] kprobes: Use module_name() macro

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko.sakkinen@linux.intel.com>

It is advised to use module_name() macro instead of dereferencing mod->name
directly. This makes sense for consistencys sake and also it prevents a
hard dependency to CONFIG_MODULES.

[for-next][PATCH 12/26] tracing: remove a pointless assignment

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>

The "tr" is a stack variable so setting it to NULL before a return is
a no-op.  Delete the assignment.

[for-next][PATCH 13/26] fgraph: Convert ret_stack tasklist scanning to rcu

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net>

It seems that alloc_retstack_tasklist() can also take a lockless
approach for scanning the tasklist, instead of using the big global
tasklist_lock. For this we also kill another deprecated and rcu-unsafe
tsk->thread_group user replacing it with for_each_process_thread(),
maintaining semantics.

Here tasklist_lock does not protect anything other than the list
against concurrent fork/exit. And considering that the whole thing
is capped by FTRACE_RETSTACK_ALLOC_SIZE (32), it should not be a
problem to have a pontentially stale, yet stable, list. The task cannot
go away either, so we don't risk racing with ftrace_graph_exit_task()
which clears the retstack.

The tsk->ret_stack management is not protected by tasklist_lock, being
serialized with the corresponding publish/subscribe barriers against
concurrent ftrace_push_return_trace(). In addition this plays nicer
with cachelines by avoiding two atomic ops in the uncontended case.

[for-next][PATCH 14/26] tracing/boot: Add per-instance tracing_on option support

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Add per-instance tracing_on option, which will be useful with
traceon/traceoff event trigger actions. For example, if we
disable tracing_on by default and set traceon and traceoff on
a pair of events, we can trace functions between the pair of
events.

[for-next][PATCH 22/26] tracing: Define event fields early stage

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Define event fields at early stage so that boot-time tracing can
access the event fields (like per-event filter setting).

[for-next][PATCH 23/26] tracing: Enable adding dynamic events early stage

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Split the event fields initialization from creating new event directory.
This allows the boot-time tracing to define dynamic events before
initializing events directory on tracefs.

Re: [for-next][PATCH 24/26] tracing: Enable creating new instance early boot

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Hi Steve,

Sorry, I found that this is not enough for setting up the instance.
It seems that an instance is created but the events of the instance
are not created (and maybe reset when initializing the tracefs).
Let me fix it.

Thank you,

[PATCH] tracing/boot: Initialize per-instance event list in early boot

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Initialize per-instance event list in early boot time (before
initializing instance directory on tracefs). This fixes boot-time
tracing to correctly handle the boot-time per-instance settings.

[for-next][PATCH 25/26] tracing/boot, kprobe, synth: Initialize boot-time tracing earlier

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Initialize boot-time tracing in core_initcall_sync instead of
fs_initcall, and initialize required tracers (kprobes and synth)
in core_initcall. This will allow the boot-time tracing to trace
__init code from the beginning of postcore_initcall stage.

[for-next][PATCH 26/26] Documentation: tracing: Add the startup timing of boot-time tracing

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Add the note about when to start the boot-time tracing.
This will be needed for the people who wants to trace
earlier boot sequence.

 take care for event name conflict.
 
 
+When to Start
+=============
+
+All boot-time tracing options starting with ``ftrace`` will be enabled at the
+end of core_initcall. This means you can trace the events from postcore_initcall.
+Most of the subsystems and architecture dependent drivers will be initialized
+after that (arch_initcall or subsys_initcall). Thus, you can trace those with
+boot-time tracing.
+If you want to trace events before core_initcall, you can use the options
+starting with ``kernel``. Some of them will be enabled eariler than the initcall
+processing (for example,. ``kernel.ftrace=function`` and ``kernel.trace_event``
+will start before the initcall.)
