2020-08-20tracing: switch to kernel_clone()Christian Brauner1-2/+2
The old _do_fork() helper is removed in favor of the new kernel_clone() helper. The latter adheres to naming conventions for kernel internal syscall helpers.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "New tracing features: - The ring buffer is no longer disabled when reading the trace file. The trace_pipe file was made to be used for live tracing and reading as it acted like the normal producer/consumer. As the trace file would not consume the data, the easy way of handling it was to just disable writes to the ring buffer. This came to a surprise to the BPF folks who complained about lost events due to reading. This is no longer an issue. If someone wants to keep the old disabling there's a new option "pause-on-trace" that can be set. - New set_ftrace_notrace_pid file. PIDs in this file will not be traced by the function tracer. Similar to set_ftrace_pid, which makes the function tracer only trace those tasks with PIDs in the file, the set_ftrace_notrace_pid does the reverse. - New set_event_notrace_pid file. PIDs in this file will cause events not to be traced if triggered by a task with a matching PID. Similar to the set_event_pid file but will not be traced. Note, sched_waking and sched_switch events may still be traced if one of the tasks referenced by those events contains a PID that is allowed to be traced. Tracing related features: - New bootconfig option, that is attached to the initrd file. If bootconfig is on the command line, then the initrd file is searched looking for a bootconfig appended at the end. - New GPU tracepoint infrastructure to help the gfx drivers to get off debugfs (acked by Greg Kroah-Hartman) And other minor updates and fixes" * tag 'trace-v5.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (27 commits) tracing: Do not allocate buffer in trace_find_next_entry() in atomic tracing: Add documentation on set_ftrace_notrace_pid and set_event_notrace_pid selftests/ftrace: Add test to test new set_event_notrace_pid file selftests/ftrace: Add test to test new set_ftrace_notrace_pid file tracing: Create set_event_notrace_pid to not trace tasks ftrace: Create set_ftrace_notrace_pid to not trace tasks ftrace: Make function trace pid filtering a bit more exact ftrace/kprobe: Show the maxactive number on kprobe_events tracing: Have the document reflect that the trace file keeps tracing enabled ring-buffer/tracing: Have iterator acknowledge dropped events tracing: Do not disable tracing when reading the trace file ring-buffer: Do not disable recording when there is an iterator ring-buffer: Make resize disable per cpu buffer instead of total buffer ring-buffer: Optimize rb_iter_head_event() ring-buffer: Do not die if rb_iter_peek() fails more than thrice ring-buffer: Have rb_iter_head_event() handle concurrent writer ring-buffer: Add page_stamp to iterator for synchronization ring-buffer: Rename ring_buffer_read() to read_buffer_iter_advance() ring-buffer: Have ring_buffer_empty() not depend on tracing stopped tracing: Save off entry when peeking at next entry ...

2020-03-03tracing: Have hwlat ts be first instance and record count of instancesSteven Rostedt (VMware)1-10/+22
The hwlat tracer runs a loop of width time during a given window. It then reports the max latency over a given threshold and records a timestamp. But this timestamp is the time after the width has finished, and not the time it actually triggered. Record the actual time when the latency was greater than the threshold as well as the number of times it was greater in a given width per window.

2020-02-13PM: QoS: Simplify definitions of CPU latency QoS trace eventsRafael J. Wysocki1-9/+10
Modify the definitions of the CPU latency QoS trace events to take one argument (since PM_QOS_CPU_DMA_LATENCY is always passed as the pm_qos_class argument to them) and update the documentation of them accordingly (while at it, make it explicitly mention CPU latency QoS and relocate it after the device PM QoS trace events documentation). The names and output format of the trace events do not change to preserve user space compatibility. No intentional functional impact. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
