tracing/events: add startup tests for events
As events start to become popular, and the new way to add tracing
infrastructure into ftrace, it is important to catch any problems
that might happen with a mistake in the TRACE_EVENT macro.
This patch introduces a startup self test on the registered trace
events. Note, it can only do a generic test, any type of testing that
needs more involement is needed to be implemented by the tracepoint
creators.
The test goes down one by one enabling a trace point and running
some random tasks (random in the sense that I just made them up).
Those tasks are creating threads, grabbing mutexes and spinlocks
and using workqueues.
After testing each event individually, it does the same test after
enabling each system of trace points. Like sched, irq, lockdep.
Then finally it enables all tracepoints and performs the tasks again.
The output to the console on bootup will look like this when everything
works:

ftrace: use module notifier for function tracer
The hooks in the module code for the function tracer must be called
before any of that module code runs. The function tracer hooks
modify the module (replacing calls to mcount to nops). If the code
is executed while the change occurs, then the CPU can take a GPF.
To handle the above with a bit of paranoia, I originally implemented
the hooks as calls directly from the module code.
After examining the notifier calls, it looks as though the start up
notify is called before any of the module's code is executed. This makes
the use of the notify safe with ftrace.
Only the startup notify is required to be "safe". The shutdown simply
removes the entries from the ftrace function list, and does not modify
any code.
This change has another benefit. It removes a issue with a reverse dependency
in the mutexes of ftrace_lock and module_mutex.

Neil Horman (et. al.) criticized the way the trace events were broken up

It then dawned on me that the tracepoint.h header only needs to define the
TRACE_EVENT macro if it is not already defined.
The solution is simply to test if TRACE_EVENT is defined, and if it is not
then the linux/tracepoint.h header can define it. This change consolidates

This patch allows event filters to be safely removed or switched
on-the-fly while avoiding the use of rcu or the suspension of tracing of
previous versions.
It does it by adding a new filter_pred_none() predicate function which
does nothing and by never deallocating either the predicates or any of
the filter_pred members used in matching; the predicate lists are
allocated and initialized during ftrace_event_calls initialization.
Whenever a filter is removed or replaced, the filter_pred_* functions
currently in use by the affected ftrace_event_call are immediately
switched over to to the filter_pred_none() function, while the rest of
the filter_pred members are left intact, allowing any currently
executing filter_pred_* functions to finish up, using the values they're
currently using.
In the case of filter replacement, the new predicate values are copied
into the old predicates after the above step, and the filter_pred_none()
functions are replaced by the filter_pred_* functions for the new
filter. In this case, it is possible though very unlikely that a
previous filter_pred_* is still running even after the
filter_pred_none() switch and the switch to the new filter_pred_*. In
that case, however, because nothing has been deallocated in the
filter_pred, the worst that can happen is that the old filter_pred_*
function sees the new values and as a result produces either a false
positive or a false negative, depending on the values it finds.
So one downside to this method is that rarely, it can produce a bad
match during the filter switch, but it should be possible to live with
that, IMHO.
The other downside is that at least in this patch the predicate lists
are always pre-allocated, taking up memory from the start. They could
probably be allocated on first-use, and de-allocated when tracing is
completely stopped - if this patch makes sense, I could create another
one to do that later on.
Oh, and it also places a restriction on the size of __arrays in events,
currently set to 128, since they can't be larger than the now embedded
str_val arrays in the filter_pred struct.

tracing/filters: add run-time field descriptions to TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT events
This patch adds run-time field descriptions to all the event formats
exported using TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT. It also hooks up all the tracers
that use them (i.e. the tracers in the 'ftrace subsystem') so they can
also have their output filtered by the event-filtering mechanism.
When I was testing this, there were a couple of things that fooled me
into thinking the filters weren't working, when actually they were -
I'll mention them here so others don't make the same mistakes (and file
bug reports. ;-)
One is that some of the tracers trace multiple events e.g. the
sched_switch tracer uses the context_switch and wakeup events, and if
you don't set filters on all of the traced events, the unfiltered output
from the events without filters on them can make it look like the
filtering as a whole isn't working properly, when actually it is doing
what it was asked to do - it just wasn't asked to do the right thing.
The other is that for the really high-volume tracers e.g. the function
tracer, the volume of filtered events can be so high that it pushes the
unfiltered events out of the ring buffer before they can be read so e.g.
cat'ing the trace file repeatedly shows either no output, or once in
awhile some output but that isn't there the next time you read the
trace, which isn't what you normally expect when reading the trace file.
If you read from the trace_pipe file though, you can catch them before
they disappear.

lockdep: continue lock debugging despite some taints
Impact: broaden lockdep checks
Lockdep is disabled after any kernel taints. This might be convenient
to ignore bad locking issues which sources come from outside the kernel
tree. Nevertheless, it might be a frustrating experience for the
staging developers or those who experience a warning but are focused
on another things that require lockdep.
The v2 of this patch simply don't disable anymore lockdep in case
of TAINT_CRAP and TAINT_WARN events.
lockdep: warn about lockdep disabling after kernel taint
Impact: provide useful missing info for developers
Kernel taint can occur in several situations such as warnings,
load of prorietary or staging modules, bad page, etc...
But when such taint happens, a developer might still be working on
the kernel, expecting that lockdep is still enabled. But a taint
disables lockdep without ever warning about it.
Such a kernel behaviour doesn't really help for kernel development.
This patch adds this missing warning.
Since the taint is done most of the time after the main message that
explain the real source issue, it seems safe to warn about it inside
add_taint() so that it appears at last, without hurting the main
information.
v2: Use a generic helper to disable lockdep instead of an
open coded xchg().

- binary tracing without printf overhead
- structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events
- trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins
- user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions

The function pat_init() references

This is often because pat_init lacks a __cpuinit
annotation or the annotation of pat_disable is wrong.

can be static too (and there are no callers outside of this file).

In arch/x86/kernel/mpparse.c, smp_reserve_bootmem() has been called
and also refers to a function which is in .init section. Thus causes
the first warning. And check_irq_src() also requires an __init,
because it refers to an .init section.
This reverts commit 5d38258ec026921a7b266f4047ebeaa75db358e5, since the
underlying problem got fixed properly in the previous commit ("async:
Fix module loading async-work regression").

Several drivers use asynchronous work to do device discovery, and we
synchronize with them in the compiled-in case before we actually try to
mount root filesystems etc.
However, when compiled as modules, that synchronization is missing - the
module loading completes, but the driver hasn't actually finished
probing for devices, and that means that any user mode that expects to
use the devices after the 'insmod' is now potentially broken.
We already saw one case of a similar issue in the ACPI battery code,
where the kernel itself expected the module to be all done, and unmapped
the init memory - but the async device discovery was still running.
That got hacked around by just removing the "__init" (see commit 5d38258ec026921a7b266f4047ebeaa75db358e5 "ACPI battery: fix async boot
oops"), but the real fix is to just make the module loading wait for all
async work to be completed.
It will slow down module loading, but since common devices should be
built in anyway, and since the bug is really annoying and hard to handle
from user space (and caused several S3 resume regressions), the simple
fix to wait is the right one.
This fixes at least
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13063
but probably a few other bugzilla entries too (12936, for example), and
is confirmed to fix Rafael's storage driver breakage after resume bug
report (no bugzilla entry).
We should also be able to now revert that ACPI battery fix.

kbuild: fix spurious initramfs rebuild
When gen_initramfs_list is used to generate make dependencies, it
includes symbolic links, for which make tracks the link target. Any
change to that target will cause an initramfs rebuild, even if the
symlink points to something outside of the initramfs directory.
If the target happens to be /tmp, the rebuild occurs for each kernel
build, since gen_initramfs_list uses mktemp...
Proposed way to fix it is to omit symbolic links from generated
dependencies, but this has a small drawback: changing perm/owner on a
symlink will go unnoticed.

With this we add a config option (CONFIG_STRIP_ASM_SYMS) that will cause

The offending string is the following, and it's located in

"'\e[L' which are specific to the LCD, and a few ANSI codes. The"
looks to me like gettext expects strings in printf format, so in
this case it thinks "\e" is a control sequence but doesn't recognise
it as a valid one.
A valid solution would be to tell kxgettext to automatically
escape this kind of strings in the */config.pot he produces, so that
msguniq would not complain.
