97d5a22005 perf: Drop the obsolete profile naming for trace events
Drop the obsolete "profile" naming used by perf for trace events.
Perf can now do more than simple events counting, so generalize
the API naming.

c530665c31 perf: Take a hot regs snapshot for trace events
We are taking a wrong regs snapshot when a trace event triggers.
Either we use get_irq_regs(), which gives us the interrupted
registers if we are in an interrupt, or we use task_pt_regs()
which gives us the state before we entered the kernel, assuming
we are lucky enough to be no kernel thread, in which case
task_pt_regs() returns the initial set of regs when the kernel
thread was started.

What we want is different. We need a hot snapshot of the regs,
so that we can get the instruction pointer to record in the
sample, the frame pointer for the callchain, and some other
things.

Let's use the new perf_fetch_caller_regs() for that.

Comparison with perf record -e lock: -R -a -f -g
Before:

        perf  [kernel]                   [k] __do_softirq
               |
               --- __do_softirq
                  |
                  |--55.16%-- __open
                  |
                   --44.84%-- __write_nocancel

After:

            perf  [kernel]           [k] perf_tp_event
               |
               --- perf_tp_event
                  |
                  |--41.07%-- lock_acquire
                  |          |
                  |          |--39.36%-- _raw_spin_lock
                  |          |          |
                  |          |          |--7.81%-- hrtimer_interrupt
                  |          |          |          smp_apic_timer_interrupt
                  |          |          |          apic_timer_interrupt

The old case was producing unreliable callchains. Now having
right frame and instruction pointers, we have the trace we
want.

Also syscalls and kprobe events already have the right regs,
let's use them instead of wasting a retrieval.

v2: Follow the rename perf_save_regs() -> perf_fetch_caller_regs()

e7b8e675d9 tracing: Unify arch_syscall_addr() implementations
Most implementations of arch_syscall_addr() are the same, so create a
default version in common code and move the one piece that differs (the
syscall table) to asm/syscall.h.  New arch ports don't have to waste
time copying & pasting this simple function.

The s390/sparc versions need to be different, so document why.

430ad5a600 perf: Factorize trace events raw sample buffer operations
Introduce ftrace_perf_buf_prepare() and ftrace_perf_buf_submit() to
gather the common code that operates on raw events sampling buffer.
This cleans up redundant code between regular trace events, syscall
events and kprobe events.

Changelog v1->v2:
- Rename function name as per Masami and Frederic's suggestion
- Add __kprobes for ftrace_perf_buf_prepare() and make
  ftrace_perf_buf_submit() inline as per Masami's suggestion
- Export ftrace_perf_buf_prepare since modules will use it

0fa0edaf32 tracing: Remove show_format and related macros from TRACE_EVENT
The previous patches added the use of print_fmt string and changes
the trace_define_field() function to also create the fields and
format output for the event format files.

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
5857201	1355780	9336808	16549789	 fc879d	vmlinux
5884589	1351684	9337896	16574169	 fce6d9	vmlinux-orig

The above shows the size of the vmlinux after this patch set
compared to the vmlinux-orig which is before the patch set.

This saves us 27k on text, 1k on bss and adds just 4k of data.

The total savings of 24k in size.

c7ef3a9004 tracing: Have syscall tracing call its own init function
In the clean up of having all events call one specific function,
the syscall event init was changed to call this helper function.

With the new print_fmt updates, the syscalls need to do special

its own init function again.

07b139c8c8 perf events: Remove CONFIG_EVENT_PROFILE
Quoted from Ingo:

| This reminds me - i think we should eliminate CONFIG_EVENT_PROFILE -
| it's an unnecessary Kconfig complication. If both PERF_EVENTS and
| EVENT_TRACING is enabled we should expose generic tracepoints.
|
| Nor is it limited to event 'profiling', so it has become a misnomer as
| well.

Move the printk from each ftrace_raw_reg_event_foo() to

ce71b9df88 tracing: Use the perf recursion protection from trace event
When we commit a trace to perf, we first check if we are
recursing in the same buffer so that we don't mess-up the buffer
with a recursing trace. But later on, we do the same check from
perf to avoid commit recursion. The recursion check is desired
early before we touch the buffer but we want to do this check
only once.

Then export the recursion protection from perf and use it from
the trace events before submitting a trace.

444a2a3bcd tracing, perf_events: Protect the buffer from recursion in perf
While tracing using events with perf, if one enables the
lockdep:lock_acquire event, it will infect every other perf
trace events.

Basically, you can enable whatever set of trace events through
perf but if this event is part of the set, the only result we
can get is a long list of lock_acquire events of rcu read lock,
and only that.

This is because of a recursion inside perf.

1) When a trace event is triggered, it will fill a per cpu
   buffer and submit it to perf.

2) Perf will commit this event but will also protect some data
   using rcu_read_lock

3) A recursion appears: rcu_read_lock triggers a lock_acquire
   event that will fill the per cpu event and then submit the
   buffer to perf.

4) Perf detects a recursion and ignores it

5) Perf continues its work on the previous event, but its buffer
   has been overwritten by the lock_acquire event, it has then
   been turned into a lock_acquire event of rcu read lock

Such scenario also happens with lock_release with
rcu_read_unlock().

We could turn the rcu_read_lock() into __rcu_read_lock() to drop
the lock debugging from perf fast path, but that would make us
lose the rcu debugging and that doesn't prevent from other
possible kind of recursion from perf in the future.

This patch adds a recursion protection based on a counter on the
perf trace per cpu buffers to solve the problem.

-v2: Fixed lost whitespace, added reviewed-by tag

c44fc77084 tracing: Move syscalls metadata handling from arch to core
Most of the syscalls metadata processing is done from arch.
But these operations are mostly generic accross archs. Especially now
that we have a common variable name that expresses the number of
syscalls supported by an arch: NR_syscalls, the only remaining bits
that need to reside in arch is the syscall nr to addr translation.

v2: Compare syscalls symbols only after the "sys" prefix so that we
    avoid spurious mismatches with archs that have syscalls wrappers,
    in which case syscalls symbols have "SyS" prefixed aliases.

cdd6c482c9 perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events
Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!

In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.

Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.

All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)

The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.

Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.

User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)

This patch has been generated via the following script:

  FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')

  sed -i \
    -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
    -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
    -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
    -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
    -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
    $FILES

  for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
    M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
    mv $N $M
  done

  FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)

  sed -i \
    -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
    -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
    -e 's/counter/event/g' \
    -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
    $FILES

... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.

Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.

( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
  with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
  over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
  in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
  better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
  instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

20ab4425a7 tracing: Allocate the ftrace event profile buffer dynamically
Currently the trace event profile buffer is allocated in the stack. But
this may be too much for the stack, as the events can have large
statically defined field size and can also grow with dynamic arrays.

Allocate two per cpu buffer for all profiled events. The first cpu
buffer is used to host every non-nmi context traces. It is protected
by disabling the interrupts while writing and committing the trace.

The second buffer is reserved for nmi. So that there is no race between
them and the first buffer.

The whole write/commit section is rcu protected because we release
these buffers while deactivating the last profiling trace event.

v2: Move the buffers from trace_event to be global, as pointed by
    Steven Rostedt.

v3: Fix the syscall events to handle the profiling buffer races
    by disabling interrupts, now that the buffers are globals.

e77405ad80 tracing: pass around ring buffer instead of tracer
The latency tracers (irqsoff and wakeup) can swap trace buffers
on the fly. If an event is happening and has reserved data on one of
the buffers, and the latency tracer swaps the global buffer with the
max buffer, the result is that the event may commit the data to the
wrong buffer.

This patch changes the API to the trace recording to be recieve the
buffer that was used to reserve a commit. Then this buffer can be passed
in to the commit.

bd1a5c849b tracing: Ftrace dynamic ftrace_event_call support
Add dynamic ftrace_event_call support to ftrace. Trace engines can add
new ftrace_event_call to ftrace on the fly. Each operator function of
the call takes an ftrace_event_call data structure as an argument,
because these functions may be shared among several ftrace_event_calls.

Changes from v13:
 - Define remove_subsystem_dir() always (revirt a2ca5e03), because
   trace_remove_event_call() uses it.
 - Modify syscall tracer because of ftrace_event_call change.

cd0980fc8a tracing: Check invalid syscall nr while tracing syscalls
Most arch syscall_get_nr() implementations returns -1 if the syscall
number is not valid.  Accessing the bit field without a check might
result in a kernel oops (at least I saw it on s390 for ftrace selftest).

Before this change, this problem did not occur, because the invalid
syscall number (-1) caused syscall_nr_to_meta() to return NULL.

There are at least two scenarios where syscall_get_nr() can return -1:

1. For example, ptrace stores an invalid syscall number, and thus,
   tracing code resets it.
   (see do_syscall_trace_enter in arch/s390/kernel/ptrace.c)

2. The syscall_regfunc() (kernel/tracepoint.c) sets the
   TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE (now: TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT) flag for all threads
   which include kernel threads.
   However, the ftrace selftest triggers a kernel oops when testing
   syscall trace points:
      - The kernel thread is started as ususal (do_fork()),
      - tracing code sets TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE,
      - the ret_from_fork() function is triggered and starts
	ftrace_syscall_exit() with an invalid syscall number.

To avoid these scenarios, I suggest to check the syscall_nr.

For instance, the ftrace selftest fails for s390 (with config option
CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS set) and produces the following kernel oops.

Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference at virtual kernel address 2000000000

10a5b66f62 tracing/syscalls: Add fields format for exit events
Add "format" file for syscall exit events:

 # cat events/syscalls/sys_exit_open/format
 name: sys_exit_open
 ID: 344
 format:
         field:unsigned short common_type;       offset:0;       size:2;
         field:unsigned char common_flags;       offset:2;       size:1;
         field:unsigned char common_preempt_count;       offset:3;       size:1;
         field:int common_pid;   offset:4;       size:4;
         field:int common_tgid;  offset:8;       size:4;

         field:int nr;   offset:12;      size:4;
         field:unsigned long ret;        offset:16;      size:4;

e6971969c3 tracing/syscalls: Fix fields format for enter events
The "format" file of a trace event is originally for parsers to
parse ftrace binary output.

But the "format" file of a syscall event can only be used by
perfcounter, because it describes the format of struct
syscall_enter_record not struct syscall_trace_enter.

To fix this, we remove struct syscall_enter_record, and then
struct syscall_trace_enter will be used by both perf profile
and ftrace.

ba8b3a40ba tracing/syscalls: Fix to print parameter types
When syscall tracing was implemented as a tracer,
"syscall_arg_type" trace option could be set to enable the
display of syscall parameter types.

Now this option is gone since it's no longer a tracer, but the
code is still there but dead.

So we remove dead code and re-enable the printing of paramete
types via the verbose option:

  # echo verbose > trace_options
  # echo syscalls > set_event
  # cat trace
	...
        bash-3331  [000]    95.348937: sys_fcntl64 -> 0x1
        bash-3331  [000]    95.348942: sys_close(unsigned int fd: a)
	...
