Commit 46e0bb9c12 ("sched: Print sched_group::__cpu_power
in sched_domain_debug") produces a messy dmesg output while
attempting to print the sched_group::__cpu_power for each
group in the sched_domain hierarchy.
Fix this by avoid printing the __cpu_power for default cases.
(i.e, __cpu_power == SCHED_LOAD_SCALE).

When current tracer is set to blk tracer, TRACE_ITER_CONTEXT_INFO is
unset, but actually context-info is printed:
pdflush-431 [000] 821.181576: 8,0 P N [pdflush]
And then if we enable TRACE_ITER_CONTEXT_INFO:
# echo context-info > trace_options
We'll see context-info printed twice. What's worse, when we use blk
tracer and trace events at the same time, we'll see no context-info
for trace events at all:
jbd2_commit_logging: dev dm-0:8 transaction 333227
jbd2_end_commit: dev dm-0:8 transaction 333227 head 332814

This patch adds blk_tracer->set_flags(), and context-info flag is unset
only when we set the output to classic mode.
Note after this patch, one should unset context-info explicitly if he
wants to get binary output that can be parsed by blkparse:
# echo nocontext-info > trace_options
# echo bin > trace_options
# echo blk > current_tracer
# cat trace_pipe | blkparse -i -

Though one can specify '-d /dev/sda1' when using blktrace, it still
traces the whole sda.
To support per-partition tracing, when we start tracing, we initialize
bt->start_lba and bt->end_lba to the start and end sector of that
partition.
Note some actions are per device, thus we don't filter 0-sector events.

In the process to make TRACE_EVENT macro work for modules, the trace_seq
operations must be available for core kernel code.
These operations are quite useful and can be used for other implementations.
The main idea is that we create a trace_seq handle that acts very much
like the seq_file handle.
struct trace_seq *s = kmalloc(sizeof(*s, GFP_KERNEL);
trace_seq_init(s);
trace_seq_printf(s, "some data %d\n", variable);
printk("%s", s->buffer);
The main use is to allow a top level function call several other functions
that may store printf like data into the buffer. Then at the end, the top
level function can process all the data with any method it would like to.
It could be passed to userspace, output via printk or even use seq_file:
trace_seq_to_user(s, ubuf, cnt);
seq_puts(m, s->buffer);

This patch lowers the number of places a developer must modify to add
new tracepoints. The current method to add a new tracepoint
into an existing system is to write the trace point macro in the
trace header with one of the macros TRACE_EVENT, TRACE_FORMAT or
DECLARE_TRACE, then they must add the same named item into the C file
with the macro DEFINE_TRACE(name) and then add the trace point.
This change cuts out the needing to add the DEFINE_TRACE(name).
Every file that uses the tracepoint must still include the trace/<type>.h
file, but the one C file must also add a define before the including
of that file.
#define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
#include <trace/mytrace.h>
This will cause the trace/mytrace.h file to also produce the C code
necessary to implement the trace point.
Note, if more than one trace/<type>.h is used to create the C code
it is best to list them all together.
#define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
#include <trace/foo.h>
#include <trace/bar.h>
#include <trace/fido.h>
Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers and Christoph Hellwig for coming up with
the cleaner solution of the define above the includes over my first
design to have the C code include a "special" header.
This patch converts sched, irq and lockdep and skb to use this new
method.

Impact: clean up
Neil Horman (et. al.) criticized the way the trace events were broken up
into two files. The reason for that was that ftrace needed to separate out
the declarations from where the #include <linux/tracepoint.h> was used.
It then dawned on me that the tracepoint.h header only needs to define the
TRACE_EVENT macro if it is not already defined.
The solution is simply to test if TRACE_EVENT is defined, and if it is not
then the linux/tracepoint.h header can define it. This change consolidates
all the <traces>.h and <traces>_event_types.h into the <traces>.h file.

Yes. The idea here was to force the MSI migration to happen in process
context. One of the patches in the series did
disable_irq(dev->irq);
irq_set_affinity(dev->irq, cpumask_of(dev->cpu));
enable_irq(dev->irq);
with the above patch adding irq/manage code check for interrupt disabled
and moving the interrupt in process context.
IIRC, there was no IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT when we were developing this HPET
code and we ended up having this ugly hack. IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT was there
when we eventually submitted the patch upstream. But, looks like I did a
blind rebasing instead of using IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT in hpet MSI code.
Below patch fixes this. i.e., revert commit 932775a4ab
and add PCNTXT to HPET MSI setup. Also removes copying of desc->affinity
in generic code as set_affinity routines are doing it internally.

Currently the nomination of idle-load balancer is done by choosing the first
idle cpu in the nohz.cpu_mask. This may not be power-efficient, since
such an idle cpu could come from a completely idle core/package thereby
preventing the whole core/package from being in a low-power state.
For eg, consider a quad-core dual package system. The cpu numbering need
not be sequential and can something like [0, 2, 4, 6] and [1, 3, 5, 7].
With sched_mc/smt_power_savings and the power-aware IRQ balance, we try to keep
as fewer Packages/Cores active. But the current idle load balancer logic
goes against this by choosing the first_cpu in the nohz.cpu_mask and not
taking the system topology into consideration.
Improve the algorithm to nominate the idle load balancer from a semi idle
cores/packages thereby increasing the probability of the cores/packages being
in deeper sleep states for longer duration.
The algorithm is activated only when sched_mc/smt_power_savings != 0.

This patch fixes a hierarchical-RCU performance bug located by Anton
Blanchard. The problem stems from a misguided attempt to provide a
work-around for jiffies-counter failure. This work-around uses a per-CPU
n_rcu_pending counter, which is incremented on each call to rcu_pending(),
which in turn is called from each scheduling-clock interrupt. Each CPU
then treats this counter as a surrogate for the jiffies counter, so
that if the jiffies counter fails to advance, the per-CPU n_rcu_pending
counter will cause RCU to invoke force_quiescent_state(), which in turn
will (among other things) send resched IPIs to CPUs that have thus far
failed to pass through an RCU quiescent state.
Unfortunately, each CPU resets only its own counter after sending a
batch of IPIs. This means that the other CPUs will also (needlessly)
send -another- round of IPIs, for a full N-squared set of IPIs in the
worst case every three scheduler-clock ticks until the grace period
finally ends. It is not reasonable for a given CPU to reset each and
every n_rcu_pending for all the other CPUs, so this patch instead simply
disables the jiffies-counter "training wheels", thus eliminating the
excessive IPIs.
Note that the jiffies-counter IPIs do not have this problem due to
the fact that the jiffies counter is global, so that the CPU sending
the IPIs can easily reset things, thus preventing the other CPUs from
sending redundant IPIs.
Note also that the n_rcu_pending counter remains, as it will continue to
be used for tracing. It may also see use to update the jiffies counter,
should an appropriate kick-the-jiffies-counter API appear.

This patch allows event filters to be safely removed or switched
on-the-fly while avoiding the use of rcu or the suspension of tracing of
previous versions.
It does it by adding a new filter_pred_none() predicate function which
does nothing and by never deallocating either the predicates or any of
the filter_pred members used in matching; the predicate lists are
allocated and initialized during ftrace_event_calls initialization.
Whenever a filter is removed or replaced, the filter_pred_* functions
currently in use by the affected ftrace_event_call are immediately
switched over to to the filter_pred_none() function, while the rest of
the filter_pred members are left intact, allowing any currently
executing filter_pred_* functions to finish up, using the values they're
currently using.
In the case of filter replacement, the new predicate values are copied
into the old predicates after the above step, and the filter_pred_none()
functions are replaced by the filter_pred_* functions for the new
filter. In this case, it is possible though very unlikely that a
previous filter_pred_* is still running even after the
filter_pred_none() switch and the switch to the new filter_pred_*. In
that case, however, because nothing has been deallocated in the
filter_pred, the worst that can happen is that the old filter_pred_*
function sees the new values and as a result produces either a false
positive or a false negative, depending on the values it finds.
So one downside to this method is that rarely, it can produce a bad
match during the filter switch, but it should be possible to live with
that, IMHO.
The other downside is that at least in this patch the predicate lists
are always pre-allocated, taking up memory from the start. They could
probably be allocated on first-use, and de-allocated when tracing is
completely stopped - if this patch makes sense, I could create another
one to do that later on.
Oh, and it also places a restriction on the size of __arrays in events,
currently set to 128, since they can't be larger than the now embedded
str_val arrays in the filter_pred struct.

So CONFIG_EVENT_TRACER can be used to turn on or off the generated events

the other things such as bprint that can't be configured out.

The ring_buffer_discard_commit is similar to ring_buffer_event_discard
but it can only be done on an event that has yet to be commited.
Unpredictable results can happen otherwise.
The main difference between ring_buffer_discard_commit and
ring_buffer_event_discard is that ring_buffer_discard_commit will try
to free the data in the ring buffer if nothing has addded data
after the reserved event. If something did, then it acts almost the
same as ring_buffer_event_discard followed by a
ring_buffer_unlock_commit.
Note, either ring_buffer_commit_discard and ring_buffer_unlock_commit
can be called on an event, not both.
This commit also exports both discard functions to be usable by
GPL modules.

Frederic Weisbecker suggested that the trace_special event shouldn't be
filterable; this patch adds a TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT_NOFILTER event macro
that allows an event format to be exported without having a filter
attached, and removes filtering from the trace_special event.

This patch adds run-time field descriptions to all the event formats
exported using TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT. It also hooks up all the tracers
that use them (i.e. the tracers in the 'ftrace subsystem') so they can
also have their output filtered by the event-filtering mechanism.
When I was testing this, there were a couple of things that fooled me
into thinking the filters weren't working, when actually they were -
I'll mention them here so others don't make the same mistakes (and file
bug reports. ;-)
One is that some of the tracers trace multiple events e.g. the
sched_switch tracer uses the context_switch and wakeup events, and if
you don't set filters on all of the traced events, the unfiltered output
from the events without filters on them can make it look like the
filtering as a whole isn't working properly, when actually it is doing
what it was asked to do - it just wasn't asked to do the right thing.
The other is that for the really high-volume tracers e.g. the function
tracer, the volume of filtered events can be so high that it pushes the
unfiltered events out of the ring buffer before they can be read so e.g.
cat'ing the trace file repeatedly shows either no output, or once in
awhile some output but that isn't there the next time you read the
trace, which isn't what you normally expect when reading the trace file.
If you read from the trace_pipe file though, you can catch them before
they disappear.
Changes from v1:
As suggested by Frederic Weisbecker:
- get rid of externs in functions
- added unlikely() to filter_check_discard()

There is a race between resume from hibernation and the asynchronous
scanning of SCSI devices and to prevent it from happening we need to
call scsi_complete_async_scans() during resume from hibernation.
In addition, if the resume from hibernation is userland-driven, it's
better to wait for all device probes in the kernel to complete before
attempting to open the resume device.

Impact: broaden lockdep checks
Lockdep is disabled after any kernel taints. This might be convenient
to ignore bad locking issues which sources come from outside the kernel
tree. Nevertheless, it might be a frustrating experience for the
staging developers or those who experience a warning but are focused
on another things that require lockdep.
The v2 of this patch simply don't disable anymore lockdep in case
of TAINT_CRAP and TAINT_WARN events.

Impact: provide useful missing info for developers
Kernel taint can occur in several situations such as warnings,
load of prorietary or staging modules, bad page, etc...
But when such taint happens, a developer might still be working on
the kernel, expecting that lockdep is still enabled. But a taint
disables lockdep without ever warning about it.
Such a kernel behaviour doesn't really help for kernel development.
This patch adds this missing warning.
Since the taint is done most of the time after the main message that
explain the real source issue, it seems safe to warn about it inside
add_taint() so that it appears at last, without hurting the main
information.
v2: Use a generic helper to disable lockdep instead of an
open coded xchg().

Impact: refactor code for future changes
Current kmemtrace.h is used both as header file of kmemtrace and kmem's
tracepoints definition.
Tracepoints' definition file may be used by other code, and should only have
definition of tracepoint.
We can separate include/trace/kmemtrace.h into 2 files:
include/linux/kmemtrace.h: header file for kmemtrace
include/trace/kmem.h: definition of kmem tracepoints
