ed146b2594 ftrace: Fix unmatched locking in ftrace_regex_write()
When a command is passed to the set_ftrace_filter, then
the ftrace_regex_lock is still held going back to user space.

 # echo 'do_open : foo' > set_ftrace_filter
 (still holding ftrace_regex_lock when returning to user space!)

06f43d66ec ftrace: Copy ftrace_graph_filter boot param using strlcpy
We are using strncpy in the wrong way to copy the ftrace_graph_filter
boot param because we pass the buffer size instead of the max string
size it can contain (buffer size - 1). The end result might not be
NULL terminated as we are abusing the max string size.

Lets use strlcpy() instead.

5cb084bb1f tracing: Enable records during the module load
I was debuging some module using "function" and "function_graph"
tracers and noticed, that if you load module after you enabled
tracing, the module's hooks will convert only to NOP instructions.

The attached patch enables modules' hooks if there's function trace
allready on, thus allowing to trace module functions.

369bc18f9a ftrace: add kernel command line graph function filtering
Add a command line parameter to allow limiting the function graphs
that are traced on boot up from the given top-level callers , when
ftrace=function_graph is specified.

This patch adds the following command line option:
ftrace_graph_filter=function-list

Where function-list is a comma separated list of functions to filter.

33974093c0 tracing: Fix infinite recursion in ftrace_update_pid_func()
When CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST is enabled
__ftrace_trace_function contains the current trace function, not
ftrace_trace_function.

In ftrace_update_pid_func() we currently incorrectly assign the
value of ftrace_trace_function to __ftrace_trace_funcion before
returning.

Without this patch it is possible to execute an infinite recursion
whereby ftrace_test_stop_func() calls __ftrace_trace_function,
which was assigned ftrace_test_stop_func() in
ftrace_update_pid_func().

                return -1;

        for(i = 0; i < (argc - 2); i++) {

                int cnt, off = 0;

694ce0a544 ftrace: Don't manipulate @pos in t_start()
It's rather confusing that in t_start(), in some cases @pos is
incremented, and in some cases it's decremented and then incremented.

This patch rewrites t_start() in a much more general way.

Thus we fix a bug that if ftrace_filtered == 1, functions have tracer
hooks won't be printed, because the branch is always unreachable:

static void *t_start(...)
{
	...
	if (!p)
		return t_hash_start(m, pos);
	return p;
}

Before:
  # echo 'sys_open' > /mnt/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
  # echo 'sys_write:traceon:4' >> /mnt/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
  sys_open

After:
  # echo 'sys_open' > /mnt/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
  # echo 'sys_write:traceon:4' >> /mnt/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
  sys_open
  sys_write:traceon:count=4

85951842a1 ftrace: Don't increment @pos in g_start()
It's wrong to increment @pos in g_start(). It causes some entries
lost when reading set_graph_function, if the output of the file
is larger than PAGE_SIZE.

84047e360a function-graph: always initialize task ret_stack
On creating a new task while running the function graph tracer, if
we fail to allocate the ret_stack, and then fail the fork, the
code will free the parent ret_stack. This is because the child
duplicated the parent and currently points to the parent's ret_stack.

This patch always initializes the task's ret_stack to NULL.

[ Impact: prevent crash of parent on low memory during fork ]

26c01624a2 function-graph: add memory barriers for accessing task's ret_stack
The code that handles the tasks ret_stack allocation for every task
assumes that only an interrupt can cause issues (even though interrupts
are disabled).

In reality, the code is allocating the ret_stack for tasks that may be
running on other CPUs and there are not efficient memory barriers to
handle this case.

[ Impact: prevent crash due to using of uninitialized ret_stack variables ]

82310a3272 function-graph: enable the stack after initialization of other variables
The function graph tracer checks if the task_struct has ret_stack defined
to know if it is OK or not to use it. The initialization is done for
all tasks by one process, but the idle tasks use the same initialization
used by new tasks.

If an interrupt happens on an idle task that just had the ret_stack
created, but before the rest of the initialization took place, then
we can corrupt the return address of the functions.

This patch moves the setting of the task_struct's ret_stack to after
the other variables have been initialized.

[ Impact: prevent kernel panic on idle task when starting function graph ]

179c498ae2 function-graph: only allocate init tasks if it was not already done
When the function graph tracer is enabled, it calls the initialization
needed for the init tasks that would be called on all created tasks.

The problem is that this is called every time the function graph tracer
is enabled, and the ret_stack is allocated for the idle tasks each time.
Thus, the old ret_stack is lost and a memory leak is created.

This is also dangerous because if an interrupt happened on another CPU
with the init task and the ret_stack is replaced, we then lose all the
return pointers for the interrupt, and a crash would take place.

[ Impact: fix memory leak and possible crash due to race ]

0f6ce3de4e ftrace: do not profile functions when disabled
A race was found that if one were to enable and disable the function
profiler repeatedly, then the system can panic. This was because a profiled
function may be preempted just before disabling interrupts. While
the profiler is disabled and then reenabled, the preempted function
could start again, and access the hash as it is being initialized.

This just adds a check in the irq disabled part to check if the profiler
is enabled, and if it is not then it will just exit.

When the system is disabled, the profile_enabled variable is cleared
before calling the unregistering of the function profiler. This
unregistering calls stop machine which also acts as a synchronize schedule.

[ Impact: fix panic in enabling/disabling function profiler ]

2af15d6a44 ftrace: add kernel command line function filtering
When using ftrace=function on the command line to trace functions
on boot up, one can not filter out functions that are commonly called.

This patch adds two new ftrace command line commands.

  ftrace_notrace=function-list
  ftrace_filter=function-list

Where function-list is a comma separated list of functions to filter.
The ftrace_notrace will make the functions listed not be included
in the function tracing, and ftrace_filter will only trace the functions
listed.

These two act the same as the debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_notrace and
debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter respectively.

The simple glob expressions that are allowed by the filter files can also
be used by the command line interface.

	ftrace_notrace=rcu*,*lock,*spin*

Will not trace any function that starts with rcu, ends with lock, or has
the word spin in it.

Note, if the self tests are enabled, they may interfere with the filtering
set by the command lines.
