- Fix reporting MISSED EVENTS in trace iterator When the "trace" file is read with tracing enabled, if the writer were to pass the iterator reader, it resets, sets a "missed_events" flag and continues. The tracing output checks for missed events and if there are some, it prints out "[LOST EVENTS]" to let the user know events were dropped. But the clearing of the missed_events happened when the tracing system queried the ring buffer iterator about missed events. This was premature as the ring buffer is per CPU, and the tracing code reads all the CPU buffers and checks for missed events when it is read. If the CPU iterator that had missed events isn't printed next, the output for the LOST EVENTS is lost. Clear the missed_events flag when the iterator moves to the next event and not when the missed_events flag is queried. Also clear it on reset. - Flush and stop the persistent ring buffer on panic On panic the persistent ring buffer is used to debug what caused the panic. But on some architectures, it requires flushing the memory from cache, otherwise, the ring buffer persistent memory may not have the last events and this could also cause the ring buffer to be corrupted on the next boot. - Fix nr_subbufs initialization in simple_ring_buffer_init_mm The remote simple ring buffer meta data nr_subbufs is initialized too early and gets cleared later on, making it zero and not reflect the actual number of sub-buffers. - Fix unload_page for simple_ring_buffer init rollback On error, the pages loaded need to be unloaded. To unload a page it is expected that: page = load_page(va); -> unload_page(page). But the code was doing: unload_page(va) and not unload_page(page). - Create output file from cmd_check_undefined The check for undefined symbols checks if the file *.o.checked exists and if so it skips doing the work. But the *.o.checked file never was created making every build do the work even when it was already done previously. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYKADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCag8l7BQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qga3AQDkyh7V4T+fxY5gc5jSKVx5U9bRAMpJ 3GWGNCY9TGUyewEApUNO5MVGvXttyc1ONPHuBcShynj3resJk90sk491kw0= =aY8d -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-ringbuffer-v7.1-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull ring-buffer fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Fix reporting MISSED EVENTS in trace iterator When the "trace" file is read with tracing enabled, if the writer were to pass the iterator reader, it resets, sets a "missed_events" flag and continues.
