ftrace: Fix uninitialized variable in match_records()

2017-07-12T13:48:31+00:00

My static checker complains that if "func" is NULL then "clear_filter" is uninitialized. This seems like it could be true, although it's possible something subtle is happening that I haven't seen. kernel/trace/ftrace.c:3844 match_records() error: uninitialized symbol 'clear_filter'.

ftrace: Remove an unneeded NULL check

2017-07-12T13:45:42+00:00

"func" can't be NULL and it doesn't make sense to check because we've already derefenced it. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170712073340.4enzeojeoupuds5a@mwanda Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

ftrace: Hide cached module code for !CONFIG_MODULES

2017-07-11T23:29:04+00:00

When modules are disabled, we get a harmless build warning: kernel/trace/ftrace.c:4051:13: error: 'process_cached_mods' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function] This adds the same #ifdef around the new code that exists around its caller.

tracing: Do note expose stack_trace_filter without DYNAMIC_FTRACE

2017-07-11T23:21:04+00:00

The "stack_trace_filter" file only makes sense if DYNAMIC_FTRACE is configured in. If it is not, then the user can not filter any functions. Not only that, the open function causes warnings when DYNAMIC_FTRACE is not set.

tracing: Fixup trace file header alignment

2017-07-11T20:48:19+00:00

The addition of TGID to the tracing header added a check to see if TGID shoudl be displayed or not, and updated the header accordingly. Unfortunately, it broke the default header. Also add constant strings to use for spacing. This does remove the visibility of the header a bit, but cuts it down from the extended lines much greater than 80 characters.

Pull perf fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "A couple of fixes for perf and kprobes: - Add he missing exclude_kernel attribute for the precise_ip level so !CAP_SYS_ADMIN users get the proper results. - Warn instead of failing completely when perf has no unwind support for a particular architectiure built in. - Ensure that jprobes are at function entry and not at some random place" * 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: kprobes: Ensure that jprobe probepoints are at function entry kprobes: Simplify register_jprobes() kprobes: Rename [arch_]function_offset_within_entry() to [arch_]kprobe_on_func_entry() perf unwind: Do not fail due to missing unwind support perf evsel: Set attr.exclude_kernel when probing max attr.precise_ip

trace/kprobes: Sanitize derived event names

2017-07-09T11:45:53+00:00

When we derive event names, convert some expected symbols (such as ':' used to specify module:name and '.' present in some symbols) into underscores so that the event name is not rejected.

kprobes: Rename [arch_]function_offset_within_entry() to [arch_]kprobe_on_func_entry()

2017-07-08T09:05:34+00:00

Rename function_offset_within_entry() to scope it to kprobe namespace by using kprobe_ prefix, and to also simplify it.

2017-07-07T21:04:47+00:00

Pull Kselftest updates from Shuah Khan: "This update consists of: - TAP13 framework and changes to some tests to convert to TAP13. Converting kselftest output to standard format will help identify run to run differences and pin point failures easily. TAP13 format has been in use for several years and the output is human friendly. Please find the specification: https://testanything.org/tap-version-13-specification.html Credit goes to Tim Bird for recommending TAP13 as a suitable format, and to Grag KH for kick starting the work with help from Paul Elder and Alice Ferrazzi The first phase of the TAp13 conversion is included in this update. Future updates will include updates to rest of the tests. - Masami Hiramatsu fixed ftrace to run on 4.9 stable kernels. - Kselftest documnetation has been converted to ReST format. Document now has a new home under Documentation/dev-tools. - kselftest_harness.h is now available for general use as a result of Mickaël Salaün's work. - Several fixes to skip and/or fail tests gracefully on older releases" * tag 'linux-kselftest-4.13-rc1-update' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shuah/linux-kselftest: (48 commits) selftests: membarrier: use ksft_* var arg msg api selftests: breakpoints: breakpoint_test_arm64: convert test to use TAP13 selftests: breakpoints: step_after_suspend_test use ksft_* var arg msg api selftests: breakpoint_test: use ksft_* var arg msg api kselftest: add ksft_print_msg() function to output general information kselftest: make ksft_* output functions variadic selftests/capabilities: Fix the test_execve test selftests: intel_pstate: add .gitignore selftests: fix memory-hotplug test selftests: add missing test name in memory-hotplug test selftests: check percentage range for memory-hotplug test selftests: check hot-pluggagble memory for memory-hotplug test selftests: typo correction for memory-hotplug test selftests: ftrace: Use md5sum to take less time of checking logs tools/testing/selftests/sysctl: Add pre-check to the value of writes_strict kselftest.rst: do some adjustments after ReST conversion selftest/net/Makefile: Specify output with $(OUTPUT) selftest/intel_pstate/aperf: Use LDLIBS instead of LDFLAGS selftest/memfd/Makefile: Fix build error selftests: lib: Skip tests on missing test modules ...
