ftrace_stop() is going away as it disables parts of function tracing
that affects users that should not be affected. But ftrace_graph_stop()
is built on ftrace_stop(). Here's another example of killing all of
function tracing because something went wrong with function graph
tracing.
Instead of disabling all users of function tracing on function graph
error, disable only function graph tracing. To do this, the arch code
must call ftrace_graph_is_dead() before it implements function graph.

A new function is created called ftrace_graph_is_dead(). This is called
in strategic paths to prevent function graph from doing more harm and
allowing at least a warning to be printed before the system crashes.
NOTE: ftrace_stop() is still used until all the archs are converted over
to use ftrace_graph_is_dead(). After that, ftrace_stop() will be removed.

ftrace_stop() and ftrace_start() were added to the suspend and hibernate
process because there was some function within the work flow that caused
the system to reboot if it was traced. This function has recently been
found (restore_processor_state()). Now there's no reason to disable
function tracing while we are going into suspend or hibernate, which means
that being able to trace this will help tremendously in debugging any
issues with suspend or hibernate.
This also means that the ftrace_stop/start() functions can be removed
and simplify the function tracing code a bit.

ftrace_stop() is used to stop function tracing during suspend and resume
which removes a lot of possible debugging opportunities with tracing.
The reason was that some function in the resume path was causing a triple
fault if it were to be traced. The issue I found was that doing something
as simple as calling smp_processor_id() would reboot the box!
When function tracing was first created I didn't have a good way to figure
out what function was having issues, or it looked to be multiple ones. To
fix it, we just created a big hammer approach to the problem which was to
add a flag in the mcount trampoline that could be checked and not call
the traced functions.
Lately I developed better ways to find problem functions and I can bisect
down to see what function is causing the issue. I removed the flag that
stopped tracing and proceeded to find the problem function and it ended
up being restore_processor_state(). This function makes sense as when the
CPU comes back online from a suspend it calls this function to set up
registers, amongst them the GS register, which stores things such as
what CPU the processor is (if you call smp_processor_id() without this
set up properly, it would fault).
By making restore_processor_state() notrace, the system can suspend and
resume without the need of the big hammer tracing to stop.

The function graph trampoline is called from the function trampoline
and both do a save and restore of registers. The save of registers
done by the function trampoline when only the function graph tracer
is running is a waste of CPU cycles.
As the function graph tracer trampoline in x86 is dependent from
the function trampoline, we can call it directly when a function
is only being traced by the function graph trampoline.

Currently if an arch supports function graph tracing, the core code will
just assign the function graph trampoline to the function graph addr that
gets called.
But as the old method for function graph tracing always calls the function
trampoline first and that calls the function graph trampoline, some
archs may have the function graph trampoline dependent on operations that
were done in the function trampoline. This causes function graph tracer
to break on those archs.
Instead of having the default be to set the function graph ftrace_ops
to the function graph trampoline, have it instead just set it to zero
which will keep it from jumping to a trampoline that is not set up
to be jumped directly too.

Currently trace_seq_putmem_hex() can only take as a parameter a pointer
to something that is 8 bytes or less, otherwise it will overflow the
buffer. This is protected by a macro that encompasses the call to
trace_seq_putmem_hex() that has a BUILD_BUG_ON() for the variable before
it is passed in. This is not very robust and if trace_seq_putmem_hex() ever
gets used outside that macro it will cause issues.
Instead of only being able to produce a hex output of memory that is for
a single word, change it to be more robust and allow any size input.

For using trace_seq_*() functions in NMI context, I posted a patch to move
it to the lib/ directory. This caused Andrew Morton to take a look at the code.
He went through and gave a lot of comments about missing kernel doc,
inconsistent types for the save variable, mix match of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()
and EXPORT_SYMBOL() as well as missing EXPORT_SYMBOL*()s. There were
a few comments about the way variables were being compared (int vs uint).
All these were good review comments and should be implemented regardless of
if trace_seq.c should be moved to lib/ or not.

Function graph tracing is a bit different than the function tracers, as
it is processed after either the ftrace_caller or ftrace_regs_caller
and we only have one place to modify the jump to ftrace_graph_caller,
the jump needs to happen after the restore of registeres.
The function graph tracer is dependent on the function tracer, where
even if the function graph tracing is going on by itself, the save and
restore of registers is still done for function tracing regardless of
if function tracing is happening, before it calls the function graph
code.
If there's no function tracing happening, it is possible to just call
the function graph tracer directly, and avoid the wasted effort to save
and restore regs for function tracing.
This requires adding new flags to the dyn_ftrace records:
FTRACE_FL_TRAMP
FTRACE_FL_TRAMP_EN
The first is set if the count for the record is one, and the ftrace_ops
associated to that record has its own trampoline. That way the mcount code
can call that trampoline directly.
In the future, trampolines can be added to arbitrary ftrace_ops, where you
can have two or more ftrace_ops registered to ftrace (like kprobes and perf)
and if they are not tracing the same functions, then instead of doing a
loop to check all registered ftrace_ops against their hashes, just call the
ftrace_ops trampoline directly, which would call the registered ftrace_ops
function directly.
Without this patch perf showed:

The usage of uprobe_buffer_enable() added by dcad1a20 is very wrong,
1. uprobe_buffer_enable() and uprobe_buffer_disable() are not balanced,
_enable() should be called only if !enabled.
2. If uprobe_buffer_enable() fails probe_event_enable() should clear
tp.flags and free event_file_link.
3. If uprobe_register() fails it should do uprobe_buffer_disable().

uprobe_dispatcher()
I do not know why dd9fa555d7bb "tracing/uprobes: Move argument fetching

wrong.
OK, perhaps it makes sense to avoid store_trace_args() if the tracee is
nacked by uprobe_perf_filter(). But then we should kill the same code
in uprobe_perf_func() and unify the TRACE/PROFILE filtering (we need to
do this anyway to mix perf/ftrace). Until then this code actually adds
the pessimization because uprobe_perf_filter() will be called twice and
return T in likely case.

Add WARN_ON's into uprobe_unregister() and uprobe_apply() to ensure
that nobody tries to play with the dead uprobe/consumer. This helps
to catch the bugs like the one fixed by the previous patch.
In the longer term we should fix this poorly designed interface.
uprobe_register() should return "struct uprobe *" which should be
passed to apply/unregister. Plus other semantic changes, see the

This reverts commit 43fe98913c9f67e3b523615ee3316f9520a623e0.
This patch is very wrong. Firstly, this change leads to unbalanced
uprobe_unregister(). Just for example,
# perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 syscall
# echo 1 >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/probe_libc/enable
# perf record -e probe_libc:syscall whatever
after that uprobe is dead (unregistered) but the user of ftrace/perf
can't know this, and it looks as if nobody hits this probe.
This would be easy to fix, but there are other reasons why it is not
simple to mix ftrace and perf. If nothing else, they can't share the
same ->consumer.filter. This is fixable too, but probably we need to
fix the poorly designed uprobe_register() interface first. At least
"register" and "apply" should be clearly separated.

As new flags will be added to the ftrace dynamic record, and since
the flags field is also a counter, converting the numbers used to
do the shifting and masking into a set of macros where we only need
to deal with the max bit count of the counter and the number of bits
for the flags will prevent mistakes in the future.
Dealing with only two numbers is much easier than updating all the
macros that deal with shifting and masking.

When registering a function callback for the function tracer, the ops
can specify if it wants to save full regs (like an interrupt would)
for each function that it traces, or if it does not care about regs
and just wants to have the fastest return possible.
Once a ops has registered a function, if other ops register that
function they all will receive the regs too. That's because it does
the work once, it does it for everyone.
Now if the ops wanting regs unregisters the function so that there's
only ops left that do not care about regs, those ops will still
continue getting regs and going through the work for it on that
function. This is because the disabling of the rec counter only
sees the ops registered, and does not see the ops that are still
attached, and does not know if the current ops that are still attached
want regs or not. To play it safe, it just keeps regs being processed
until no function is registered anymore.
Instead of doing that, check the ops that are still registered for that
function and if none want regs for it anymore, then disable the
processing of regs.

On the syscall tracing path, we call out to secure_computing() to allow
seccomp to check the syscall number being attempted. As part of this, a
SIGTRAP may be sent to the tracer and the syscall could be re-written by
a subsequent SET_SYSCALL ptrace request. Unfortunately, this new syscall
is ignored by the current code unless TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE is also set on
the current thread.
This patch slightly reworks the enter path of the syscall tracing code
so that we always reload the syscall number from
current_thread_info()->syscall after the potential ptrace traps.

When a PL310 cache is used on a system that provides hardware
coherency, the outer cache sync operation is useless, and can be
skipped. Moreover, on some systems, it is harmful as it causes
deadlocks between the Marvell coherency mechanism, the Marvell PCIe
controller and the Cortex-A9.
To avoid this, this commit introduces a new Device Tree property
'arm,io-coherent' for the L2 cache controller node, valid only for the
PL310 cache. It identifies the usage of the PL310 cache in an I/O
coherent configuration. Internally, it makes the driver disable the
outer cache sync operation.
Note that technically speaking, a fully coherent system wouldn't
require any of the other .outer_cache operations. However, in
practice, when booting secondary CPUs, these are not yet coherent, and
therefore a set of cache maintenance operations are necessary at this
point. This explains why we keep the other .outer_cache operations and
only ->sync is disabled.
While in theory any write to a PL310 register could cause the
deadlock, in practice, disabling ->sync is sufficient to workaround
the deadlock, since the other cache maintenance operations are only
used in very specific situations.
Contrary to previous versions of this patch, this new version does not
simply NULL-ify the ->sync member, because the l2c_init_data
structures are now 'const' and therefore cannot be modified, which is
a good thing. Therefore, this patch introduces a separate
l2c_init_data instance, called of_l2c310_coherent_data.

Pull SCSI target fixes from Nicholas Bellinger:
"Mostly minor fixes this time around. The highlights include:
- iscsi-target CHAP authentication fixes to enforce explicit key
values (Tejas Vaykole + rahul.rane)
- fix a long-standing OOPs in target-core when a alua configfs
attribute is accessed after port symlink has been removed.
(Sebastian Herbszt)
- fix a v3.10.y iscsi-target regression causing the login reject
status class/detail to be ignored (Christoph Vu-Brugier)
- fix a v3.10.y iscsi-target regression to avoid rejecting an
existing ITT during Data-Out when data-direction is wrong (Santosh
Kulkarni + Arshad Hussain)
- fix a iscsi-target related shutdown deadlock on UP kernels (Mikulas
Patocka)
- fix a v3.16-rc1 build issue with vhost-scsi + !CONFIG_NET (MST)"
* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending:
iscsi-target: fix iscsit_del_np deadlock on unload

On uniprocessor preemptible kernel, target core deadlocks on unload. The
following events happen:
* iscsit_del_np is called
* it calls send_sig(SIGINT, np->np_thread, 1);
* the scheduler switches to the np_thread
* the np_thread is woken up, it sees that kthread_should_stop() returns
false, so it doesn't terminate
* the np_thread clears signals with flush_signals(current); and goes back
to sleep in iscsit_accept_np
* the scheduler switches back to iscsit_del_np
* iscsit_del_np calls kthread_stop(np->np_thread);
* the np_thread is waiting in iscsit_accept_np and it doesn't respond to
kthread_stop
The deadlock could be resolved if the administrator sends SIGINT signal to
the np_thread with killall -INT iscsi_np
The reproducible deadlock was introduced in commit
db6077fd0b7dd41dc6ff18329cec979379071f87, but the thread-stopping code was
racy even before.
This patch fixes the problem. Using kthread_should_stop to stop the
np_thread is unreliable, so we test np_thread_state instead. If
np_thread_state equals ISCSI_NP_THREAD_SHUTDOWN, the thread exits.
