The mcount record method of ftrace scans objdump for references to mcount.

code that was attempted to be changed was not an mcount caller.
The current code only updates if the code being changed is what it expects,

What was happening is that a weak symbol was being used as a reference

This patch changes the setting up of the mcount_loc section to search

At OLS I had a lot of interest to be able to have the ftrace buffers

the buffers after a new kernel is loaded. But sometimes the resources
do not permit kdump and kexec, so having an option to still see the

This patch adds the option to have the ftrace buffers dumped to the
console in the latency_trace format on a panic. When the option is set,
the default entries per CPU buffer are lowered to 16384, since the writing
to the serial (if that is the console) may take an awful long time
otherwise.

The start of the print is still the same as the other entries.
It returns the number of characters written to the ftrace buffer.
For example:
Having a module with the following code:

{
ftrace_printk("jiffies are %ld\n", jiffies);
return 0;
}
Gives me:

insmod-5441 [03] 1959.370498: ftrace_print_test jiffies are 4296626666

Note: Only the infrastructure should go into the kernel. It is to help
facilitate debugging for other kernel developers. Calls to ftrace_printk
is not intended to be left in the kernel, and should be frowned upon just
like scattering printks around in the code.
But having this easily at your fingertips helps the debugging go faster

ftrace: use only 5 byte nops for x86
Mathieu Desnoyers revealed a bug in the original code. The nop that is
used to relpace the mcount caller can be a two part nop. This runs the
risk where a process can be preempted after executing the first nop, but
before the second part of the nop.
The ftrace code calls kstop_machine to keep multiple CPUs from executing
code that is being modified, but it does not protect against a task preempting
in the middle of a two part nop.
If the above preemption happens and the tracer is enabled, after the
kstop_machine runs, all those nops will be calls to the trace function.
If the preempted process that was preempted between the two nops is executed
again, it will execute half of the call to the trace function, and this
might crash the system.
This patch instead uses what both the latest Intel and AMD spec suggests.
That is the P6_NOP5 sequence of "0x0f 0x1f 0x44 0x00 0x00".
Note, some older CPUs and QEMU might fault on this nop, so this nop
is executed with fault handling first. If it detects a fault, it will then
use the code "0x66 0x66 0x66 0x66 0x90". If that faults, it will then
default to a simple "jmp 1f; .byte 0x00 0x00 0x00; 1:". The jmp is
not optimal but will do if the first two can not be executed.

This patch creates a section in the kernel called "__mcount_loc".

each call site of mcount.
For example:
objdump -dr init/main.o
[...]
Disassembly of section .text:
The offset to of the mcount call site in init_post is an offset from
the start of the section, and not the start of the function init_post.
The mcount relocation is at the call site 0x185 from the start of the
.text section.
.text + 0x185 == init_post + 0xa
We need a way to add this __mcount_loc section in a way that we do not
lose the relocations after final link. The .text section here will
be attached to all other .text sections after final link and the
offsets will be meaningless. We need to keep track of where these
.text sections are.
To do this, we use the start of the first function in the section.
do_one_initcall. We can make a tmp.s file with this function as a reference
to the start of the .text section.
But we have a problem. What happens if the first function in a section
is not exported, and is a static function. The linker will not let
the tmp.o use it. This case exists in main.o as well.
The lowercase 't' means that set_reset_devices is local and is not exported.
If we simply try to link the tmp.o with the set_reset_devices we end
up with two symbols: one local and one global.
We still have an undefined reference to set_reset_devices, and if we try
to compile the kernel, we will end up with an undefined reference to
set_reset_devices, or even worst, it could be exported someplace else,
and then we will have a reference to the wrong location.
To handle this case, we make an intermediate step using objcopy.
We convert set_reset_devices into a global exported symbol before linking
it with tmp.o and set it back afterwards.
Now we have a section in main.o called __mcount_loc that we can place
somewhere in the kernel using vmlinux.ld.S and access it to convert
all these locations that call mcount into nops before starting SMP
and thus, eliminating the need to do this with kstop_machine.
Note, A well documented perl script (scripts/recordmcount.pl) is used
to do all this in one location.

scheduling latencies, good/bad scheduler decisions. Tools like LTTng can
export this scheduler information along with instrumentation of the rest
of the kernel activity to perform post-mortem analysis on the scheduler
activity.
About the performance impact of tracepoints (which is comparable to
markers), even without immediate values optimizations, tests done by
Hideo Aoki on ia64 show no regression. His test case was using hackbench

performance result detail.
Changelog :
- Change instrumentation location and parameter to match ftrace
instrumentation, previously done with kernel markers.
Implementation of kernel tracepoints. Inspired from the Linux Kernel
Markers. Allows complete typing verification by declaring both tracing
statement inline functions and probe registration/unregistration static
inline functions within the same macro "DEFINE_TRACE". No format string
is required. See the tracepoint Documentation and Samples patches for
usage examples.
Taken from the documentation patch :
"A tracepoint placed in code provides a hook to call a function (probe)
that you can provide at runtime. A tracepoint can be "on" (a probe is
connected to it) or "off" (no probe is attached). When a tracepoint is
"off" it has no effect, except for adding a tiny time penalty (checking
a condition for a branch) and space penalty (adding a few bytes for the
function call at the end of the instrumented function and adds a data
structure in a separate section). When a tracepoint is "on", the
function you provide is called each time the tracepoint is executed, in
the execution context of the caller. When the function provided ends its
execution, it returns to the caller (continuing from the tracepoint
site).
You can put tracepoints at important locations in the code. They are
lightweight hooks that can pass an arbitrary number of parameters, which
prototypes are described in a tracepoint declaration placed in a header
file."
Addition and removal of tracepoints is synchronized by RCU using the
scheduler (and preempt_disable) as guarantees to find a quiescent state
(this is really RCU "classic"). The update side uses rcu_barrier_sched()
with call_rcu_sched() and the read/execute side uses
"preempt_disable()/preempt_enable()".
We make sure the previous array containing probes, which has been
scheduled for deletion by the rcu callback, is indeed freed before we
proceed to the next update. It therefore limits the rate of modification
of a single tracepoint to one update per RCU period. The objective here
is to permit fast batch add/removal of probes on _different_
tracepoints.
Changelog :
- Use #name ":" #proto as string to identify the tracepoint in the
tracepoint table. This will make sure not type mismatch happens due to
connexion of a probe with the wrong type to a tracepoint declared with
the same name in a different header.
- Add tracepoint_entry_free_old.
- Change __TO_TRACE to get rid of the 'i' iterator.
Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> :
Tested on x86-64.
Performance impact of a tracepoint : same as markers, except that it
adds about 70 bytes of instructions in an unlikely branch of each
instrumented function (the for loop, the stack setup and the function
call). It currently adds a memory read, a test and a conditional branch
at the instrumentation site (in the hot path). Immediate values will
eventually change this into a load immediate, test and branch, which
removes the memory read which will make the i-cache impact smaller
(changing the memory read for a load immediate removes 3-4 bytes per
site on x86_32 (depending on mov prefixes), or 7-8 bytes on x86_64, it
also saves the d-cache hit).
About the performance impact of tracepoints (which is comparable to
markers), even without immediate values optimizations, tests done by
Hideo Aoki on ia64 show no regression. His test case was using hackbench
on a kernel where scheduler instrumentation (about 5 events in code
scheduler code) was added.
Quoting Hideo Aoki about Markers :
I evaluated overhead of kernel marker using linux-2.6-sched-fixes git
tree, which includes several markers for LTTng, using an ia64 server.
While the immediate trace mark feature isn't implemented on ia64, there
is no major performance regression. So, I think that we don't have any
issues to propose merging marker point patches into Linus's tree from
the viewpoint of performance impact.
I prepared two kernels to evaluate. The first one was compiled without
CONFIG_MARKERS. The second one was enabled CONFIG_MARKERS.
I downloaded the original hackbench from the following URL:
http://devresources.linux-foundation.org/craiger/hackbench/src/hackbench.c
I ran hackbench 5 times in each condition and calculated the average and
difference between the kernels.
The parameter of hackbench: every 50 from 50 to 800
The number of CPUs of the server: 2, 4, and 8
Below is the results. As you can see, major performance regression
wasn't found in any case. Even if number of processes increases,
differences between marker-enabled kernel and marker- disabled kernel
doesn't increase. Moreover, if number of CPUs increases, the differences
doesn't increase either.
Curiously, marker-enabled kernel is better than marker-disabled kernel
in more than half cases, although I guess it comes from the difference
of memory access pattern.

Copy the simplification from the pty unix98 special case to the generic one.
This allows us to kill off driver->termios_locked entirely which is nice. We

pty: Fix allocation failure double free
The updating and moving around of the pty code added a bug where both the
helper and caller free the main tty struct (the pty driver must free the
o_tty pair itself however).

When creating a new pty, save the pty's inode in the tty->driver_data.
Use this inode in pty_kill() to identify the devpts instance. Since
we now have the inode for the pty, we can skip get_node() lookup and
remove the unused get_node().
TODO:
- check if the mutex_lock is needed in pty_kill().
devpts_pty_new() is called when setting up a new pty and would not
will not have an existing dentry or inode for the pty. So don't bother
looking for an existing dentry - just create a new one.
Pass-in 'inode' or 'tty' parameter to devpts interfaces. With multiple
devpts instances, these parameters will be used in subsequent patches
to identify the instance of devpts mounted. The parameters also help
simplify devpts implementation.
Changelog[v3]:
- minor changes due to merge with ttydev updates
- rename parameters to emphasize they are ptmx or pts inodes
- pass-in tty_struct * to devpts_pty_kill() (this will help
cleanup the get_node() call in a subsequent patch)
Move tty_driver_lookup_tty() and tty_reopen() from tty_init_dev()
into tty_open() (one of the two callers of tty_init_dev()). These
calls are not really required in ptmx_open(), the other caller,
since ptmx_open() would be setting up a new tty.
Changelog[v2]:
- remove the lookup and reopen calls from ptmx_open
- merge with recent changes to ttydev tree

tty: shutdown method
Right now there are various drivers that try to use tty->count to know when
they get the final close. Aristeau Rozanski showed while debugging the vt
sysfs race that this isn't entirely safe.
Instead of driver side tricks to work around this introduce a shutdown which
is called when the tty is being destructed. This also means that the shutdown
method is tied into the refcounting.
Use this to rework the console close/sysfs logic.
Remove lots of special case code from the tty core code. The pty code can now
have a shutdown() method that replaces the special case hackery in the tree

This requires three changes:
1) Remove !SPARC restriction in Kconfig.
2) Move Sparc specific serial drivers before 8250, so that serial
console devices don't change names on us, even if 8250 finds
devices.
3) Since the Sparc specific serial drivers try to use the
same major/minor device namespace as 8250, some coordination
is necessary. Use the sunserial_*() layer routines to allocate
minor number space within TTY_MAJOR when CONFIG_SPARC.
