efade6e782 tracing/ftrace: types and naming corrections for sched tracer
Impact: cleanup

This patch applies some corrections suggested by Steven Rostedt.

Change the type of shed_ref into int since it is used
into a Mutex, we don't need it anymore as an atomic
variable in the sched_switch tracer.
Also change the name of the register mutex.

d7ad44b697 tracing/fastboot: use sched switch tracer from boot tracer
Impact: enhance boot trace output with scheduling events

Use the sched_switch tracer from the boot tracer.

We also can trace schedule events inside the initcalls.
Sched tracing is disabled after the initcall has finished and
then reenabled before the next one is started.

e55f605c14 tracing/ftrace: remove unused code in sched_switch tracer
Impact: cleanup

When init_sched_switch_trace() is called, it has no reason to start
the sched tracer if the sched_ref is not zero.

_ If this is non-zero, the tracer is already used, but we can register it
to the tracing engine. There is already a security which avoid the tracer
probes not to be resgistered twice.

_ If this is zero, this block will not be used.

07695fa04e tracing/ftrace: fix a race condition in sched_switch tracer
Impact: fix race condition in sched_switch tracer

This patch fixes a race condition in the sched_switch tracer. If
several tasks (IE: concurrent initcalls) are playing with
tracing_start_cmdline_record() and tracing_stop_cmdline_record(), the
following situation could happen:

_ Task A and B are using the same tracepoint probe. Task A holds it.
  Task B is sleeping and doesn't hold it.

_ Task A frees the sched tracer, then sched_ref is decremented to 0.

_ Task A is preempted and hadn't yet unregistered its tracepoint
  probe, then B runs.

_ B increments sched_ref, sees it's 1 and then guess it has to
  register its probe. But it has not been freed by task A.

_ A lot of bad things can happen after that...

71566a0d16 tracing/fastboot: Enable boot tracing only during initcalls
Impact: modify boot tracer

We used to disable the initcall tracing at a specified time (IE: end
of builtin initcalls). But we don't need it anymore. It will be
stopped when initcalls are finished.

However we want two things:

_Start this tracing only after pre-smp initcalls are finished.

_Since we are planning to trace sched_switches at the same time, we
want to enable them only during the initcall execution.

For this purpose, this patch introduce two functions to enable/disable
the sched_switch tracing during boot.

d2ed5cb80a [ARM] fix VFP+softfloat binaries
2.6.28-rc tightened up the ELF architecture checks on ARM.  For
non-EABI it only allows VFP if the hardware supports it.  However,
the kernel fails to also inspect the soft-float flag, so it
incorrectly rejects binaries using soft-VFP.

The fix is simple: also check that EF_ARM_SOFT_FLOAT isn't set
before rejecting VFP binaries on non-VFP hardware.

6e3354c1e9 netfilter: nf_nat: remove warn_if_extra_mangle
In net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_nat_rule.c, the function warn_if_extra_mangle was added
in commit 5b1158e909 (2006-12-02). I have a DNAT
target in the OUTPUT chain than changes connections with dst 2.0.0.1 to another
address which I'll substitute with 66.102.9.99 below.

On every boot I get the following message:
[  146.252505] NAT: no longer support implicit source local NAT
[  146.252517] NAT: packet src 66.102.9.99 -> dst 2.0.0.1

As far as I can tell from reading the function doing this, it should warn if the
source IP for the route to 66.102.9.99 is different from 2.0.0.1 but that is not
the case. It doesn't make sense to check the DNAT target against the local route
source.

Either the function should be changed to correctly check the route, or it should
be removed entirely as it's been nearly 2 years since it was added.

b2a866f934 ftrace: function tracer with irqs disabled
Impact: disable interrupts during trace entry creation (as opposed to preempt)

To help with performance, I set the ftracer to not disable interrupts,
and only to disable preemption. If an interrupt occurred, it would not
be traced, because the function tracer protects itself from recursion.
This may be faster, but the trace output might miss some traces.

This patch makes the fuction trace disable interrupts, but it also
adds a runtime feature to disable preemption instead. It does this by
having two different tracer functions. When the function tracer is
enabled, it will check to see which version is requested (irqs disabled
or preemption disabled). Then it will use the corresponding function
as the tracer.

Irq disabling is the default behaviour, but if the user wants better
performance, with the chance of missing traces, then they can choose
the preempt disabled version.

Running hackbench 3 times with the irqs disabled and 3 times with
the preempt disabled function tracer yielded:

tracing type       times            entries recorded
------------      --------          ----------------
irq disabled      43.393            166433066
                  43.282            166172618
                  43.298            166256704

preempt disabled  38.969            159871710
                  38.943            159972935
                  39.325            161056510

Average:

   irqs disabled:  43.324           166287462
preempt disabled:  39.079           160300385

 preempt is 10.8 percent faster than irqs disabled.

I wrote a patch to count function trace recursion and reran hackbench.

With irq disabled: 1,150 times the function tracer did not trace due to
  recursion.
with preempt disabled: 5,117,718 times.

The thousand times with irq disabled could be due to NMIs, or simply a case
where it called a function that was not protected by notrace.

But we also see that a large amount of the trace is lost with the
preempt version.

8f0a056fcb ftrace: introduce ftrace_preempt_disable()/enable()
Impact: add new ftrace-plugin internal APIs

Parts of the tracer needs to be careful about schedule recursion.
If the NEED_RESCHED flag is set, a preempt_enable will call schedule.
Inside the schedule function, the NEED_RESCHED flag is cleared.

The problem arises when a trace happens in the schedule function but before
NEED_RESCHED is cleared. The race is as follows:

schedule()
  >> tracer called

    trace_function()
       preempt_disable()
       [ record trace ]
       preempt_enable()  <<- here's the issue.

         [check NEED_RESCHED]
          schedule()
          [ Repeat the above, over and over again ]

The naive approach is simply to use preempt_enable_no_schedule instead.
The problem with that approach is that, although we solve the schedule
recursion issue, we now might lose a preemption check when not in the
schedule function.

  trace_function()
    preempt_disable()
    [ record trace ]
    [Interrupt comes in and sets NEED_RESCHED]
    preempt_enable_no_resched()
    [continue without scheduling]

The way ftrace handles this problem is with the following approach:

	int resched;

	resched = need_resched();
	preempt_disable_notrace();
	[record trace]
	if (resched)
		preempt_enable_no_sched_notrace();
	else
		preempt_enable_notrace();

This may seem like the opposite of what we want. If resched is set
then we call the "no_sched" version??  The reason we do this is because
if NEED_RESCHED is set before we disable preemption, there's two reasons
for that:

  1) we are in an atomic code path
  2) we are already on our way to the schedule function, and maybe even
     in the schedule function, but have yet to clear the flag.

Both the above cases we do not want to schedule.

This solution has already been implemented within the ftrace infrastructure.
But the problem is that it has been implemented several times. This patch
encapsulates this code to two nice functions.

  resched = ftrace_preempt_disable();
  [ record trace]
  ftrace_preempt_enable(resched);

This way the tracers do not need to worry about getting it right.

* nf2/3: A little bit better - link comes online with longer debounce
  timing.  However, nf2/3 can't reliable wait for the first D2H
  Register FIS, so it can't wait for device readiness or classify the
  device after hardreset.  Follow-up SRST required.

* ck804: Hardreset finally works.

The core layer change to prefer hardreset and follow up changes
exposed the above issues and caused various detection regressions for
all three flavors.  This patch, hopefully, fixes all the known issues
and should make sata_nv error handling more reliable.

cadef677e4 sata_promise: add ATA engine reset to reset ops
Promise ATA engines need to be reset when errors occur.
That's currently done for errors detected by sata_promise itself,
but it's not done for errors like timeouts detected outside of
the low-level driver.

The effect of this omission is that a timeout tends to result
in a sequence of failed COMRESETs after which libata EH gives
up and disables the port. At that point the port's ATA engine
hangs and even reloading the driver will not resume it.

To fix this, make sata_promise override ->hardreset on SATA
ports with code which calls pdc_reset_port() on the port in
question before calling libata's hardreset. PATA ports don't
use ->hardreset, so for those we override ->softreset instead.

The generic packet receive code takes care of setting
netdev->last_rx when necessary, for the sake of the
bonding ARP monitor.

babcda74e9 drivers/net: Kill now superfluous ->last_rx stores.
The generic packet receive code takes care of setting
netdev->last_rx when necessary, for the sake of the
bonding ARP monitor.

Drivers need not do it any more.

Some cases had to be skipped over because the drivers
were making use of the ->last_rx value themselves.

bbb770e7ab xfrm: Fix xfrm_policy_gc_lock handling.
From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>

Based upon a lockdep trace by Simon Arlott.

xfrm_policy_kill() can be called from both BH and
non-BH contexts, so we have to grab xfrm_policy_gc_lock
with BH disabling.
