<title>tracing/osnoise: Make osnoise_main to sleep for microseconds</title>

<content type='text'>
osnoise's runtime and period are in the microseconds scale, but it is
currently sleeping in the millisecond's scale. This behavior roots in the
usage of hwlat as the skeleton for osnoise.

Make osnoise to sleep in the microseconds scale. Also, move the sleep to
a specialized function.

<title>ftrace: Remove unused ftrace_startup_enable() stub</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ab2f993c01f261aa3eeb8842842ff38bff7806b6</id>
<content type='text'>
When building with clang + CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=n + W=1, there is a
warning:

  kernel/trace/ftrace.c:7194:20: error: unused function 'ftrace_startup_enable' [-Werror,-Wunused-function]
  static inline void ftrace_startup_enable(int command) { }
                     ^
  1 error generated.

Clang warns on instances of static inline functions in .c files with W=1
after commit 6863f5643dd7 ("kbuild: allow Clang to find unused static
inline functions for W=1 build").

The ftrace_startup_enable() stub has been unused since
commit e1effa0144a1 ("ftrace: Annotate the ops operation on update"),
where its use outside of the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_TRACE section was replaced
by ftrace_startup_all().  Remove it to resolve the warning.

<title>tracing: Uninline trace_trigger_soft_disabled() partly</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bc82c38a6933aab308387d4aca47e0a05de7b553</id>
<content type='text'>
On a powerpc32 build with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMISE_FOR_SIZE, the inline
keyword is not honored and trace_trigger_soft_disabled() appears
approx 50 times in vmlinux.

Adding -Winline to the build, the following message appears:

	./include/linux/trace_events.h:712:1: error: inlining failed in call to 'trace_trigger_soft_disabled': call is unlikely and code size would grow [-Werror=inline]

That function is rather big for an inlined function:

However it is located in a hot path so inlining it is important.
But forcing inlining of the entire function by using __always_inline
leads to increasing the text size by approx 20 kbytes.

Instead, split the fonction in two parts, one part with the likely
fast path, flagged __always_inline, and a second part out of line.

With this change, on a powerpc32 with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMISE_FOR_SIZE
vmlinux text increases by only 1,4 kbytes, which is partly
compensated by a decrease of vmlinux data by 7 kbytes.

On ppc64_defconfig which has CONFIG_CC_OPTIMISE_FOR_SPEED, this
change reduces vmlinux text by more than 30 kbytes.

<title>eprobes: Remove redundant event type information</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b61edd57740de5895f44f2ea417b164d9e1708bb</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, the event probes save the type of the event they are attached
to when recording the event. For example:

  # echo 'e:switch sched/sched_switch prev_state=$prev_state prev_prio=$prev_prio next_pid=$next_pid next_prio=$next_prio' &gt; dynamic_events
  # cat events/eprobes/switch/format

 name: switch
 ID: 1717
 format:
        field:unsigned short common_type;       offset:0;       size:2; signed:0;
        field:unsigned char common_flags;       offset:2;       size:1; signed:0;
        field:unsigned char common_preempt_count;       offset:3;       size:1; signed:0;
        field:int common_pid;   offset:4;       size:4; signed:1;

        field:unsigned int __probe_type;        offset:8;       size:4; signed:0;
        field:u64 prev_state;   offset:12;      size:8; signed:0;
        field:u64 prev_prio;    offset:20;      size:8; signed:0;
        field:u64 next_pid;     offset:28;      size:8; signed:0;
        field:u64 next_prio;    offset:36;      size:8; signed:0;

 print fmt: "(%u) prev_state=0x%Lx prev_prio=0x%Lx next_pid=0x%Lx next_prio=0x%Lx", REC-&gt;__probe_type, REC-&gt;prev_state, REC-&gt;prev_prio, REC-&gt;next_pid, REC-&gt;next_prio

The __probe_type adds 4 bytes to every event.

One of the reasons for creating eprobes is to limit what is traced in an
event to be able to limit what is written into the ring buffer. Having
this redundant 4 bytes to every event takes away from this.

The event that is recorded can be retrieved from the event probe itself,
that is available when the trace is happening. For user space tools, it
could simply read the dynamic_event file to find the event they are for.
So there is really no reason to write this information into the ring
buffer for every event.

If a trigger is set on an event to disable or enable tracing within an
instance, then tracing should be disabled or enabled in the instance and
not at the top level, which is confusing to users.

The stacktrace event trigger is not dumping the stacktrace to the instance
where it was enabled, but to the global "instance."

Use the private_data, pointing to the trigger file, to figure out the
corresponding trace instance, and use it in the trigger action, like
snapshot_trigger does.

<id>urn:sha1:3203ce39ac0b2a57a84382ec184c7d4a0bede175</id>
<content type='text'>
The kernel parameter "tp_printk_stop_on_boot" starts with "tp_printk" which is
the same as another kernel parameter "tp_printk". If "tp_printk" setup is
called before the "tp_printk_stop_on_boot", it will override the latter
and keep it from being set.

This is similar to other kernel parameter issues, such as:
  Commit 745a600cf1a6 ("um: console: Ignore console= option")
or init/do_mounts.c:45 (setup function of "ro" kernel param)

Fix it by checking for a "_" right after the "tp_printk" and if that
exists do not process the parameter.

tr-&gt;n_err_log_entries should only be increased if entry allocation
succeeds.

Doing it when it fails won't cause any problems other than wasting an
entry, but should be fixed anyway.
