The command `echo > set_ftrace_pid` should be used to clean the filter quietly.
because the command `echo -1 > set_ftrace_pid` will output the following:
"bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument".

Currently, function graph tracer prints "!" or "+" just before
function execution time to signal a function overhead, depending
on the time. And some tracers tracing latency also print "!" or
"+" just after time to signal overhead, depending on the interval
between events. Even it is usually enough to do that, we sometimes
need to signal for bigger execution time than 100 micro seconds.
For example, I used function graph tracer to detect if there is
any case that exit_mm() takes too much time. I did following steps
in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing. It was easier to detect very large
excution time with patched kernel than with original kernel.
$ echo exit_mm > set_graph_function
$ echo function_graph > current_tracer
$ echo > trace
$ cat trace_pipe > $LOGFILE
... (do something and terminate logging)
$ grep "\\$" $LOGFILE

3) $ 22082113 us | } /* free_hot_cold_page */
3) $ 22083455 us | } /* free_hot_cold_page_list */

3) $ 22207659 us | } /* mmput */
3) $ 22207793 us | } /* exit_mm */
And then, it was easy to find out that a schedule-out occured by
sub_preempt_count() within kernel_map_pages().
To detect very large function exection time caused by either problematic
function implementation or scheduling issues, this patch can be useful.

Introduce FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY to avoid conflict among
ftrace users who may modify regs->ip to change the execution
path. If two or more users modify the regs->ip on the same
function entry, one of them will be broken. So they must add
IPMODIFY flag and make sure that ftrace_set_filter_ip() succeeds.
Note that ftrace doesn't allow ftrace_ops which has IPMODIFY
flag to have notrace hash, and the ftrace_ops must have a
filter hash (so that the ftrace_ops can hook only specific
entries), because it strongly depends on the address and
must be allowed for only few selected functions.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"This pull request has a lot of work done. The main thing is the
changes to the ftrace function callback infrastructure. It's
introducing a way to allow different functions to call directly
different trampolines instead of all calling the same "mcount" one.
The only user of this for now is the function graph tracer, which
always had a different trampoline, but the function tracer trampoline
was called and did basically nothing, and then the function graph
tracer trampoline was called. The difference now, is that the
function graph tracer trampoline can be called directly if a function
is only being traced by the function graph trampoline. If function
tracing is also happening on the same function, the old way is still
done.
The accounting for this takes up more memory when function graph
tracing is activated, as it needs to keep track of which functions it
uses. I have a new way that wont take as much memory, but it's not
ready yet for this merge window, and will have to wait for the next
one.
Another big change was the removal of the ftrace_start/stop() calls
that were used by the suspend/resume code that stopped function
tracing when entering into suspend and resume paths. The stop of
ftrace was done because there was some function that would crash the
system if one called smp_processor_id()! The stop/start was a big
hammer to solve the issue at the time, which was when ftrace was first
introduced into Linux. Now ftrace has better infrastructure to debug
such issues, and I found the problem function and labeled it with
"notrace" and function tracing can now safely be activated all the way
down into the guts of suspend and resume
Other changes include clean ups of uprobe code, clean up of the
trace_seq() code, and other various small fixes and clean ups to
ftrace and tracing"

function_trace_stop is no longer used to disable function tracing.
This means that archs are no longer limited if it does not support
checking this variable in the mcount trampoline.
No need to use the list_func for archs that do not support this
obsolete method.

We always use resched_task() with rq->curr argument.
It's not possible to reschedule any task but rq's current.
The patch introduces resched_curr(struct rq *) to
replace all of the repeating patterns. The main aim
is cleanup, but there is a little size profit too:
(before)
$ size kernel/sched/built-in.o
text data bss dec hex filename
155274 16445 7042 178761 2ba49 kernel/sched/built-in.o
$ size vmlinux
text data bss dec hex filename
7411490 1178376 991232 9581098 92322a vmlinux
(after)
$ size kernel/sched/built-in.o
text data bss dec hex filename
155130 16445 7042 178617 2b9b9 kernel/sched/built-in.o
$ size vmlinux
text data bss dec hex filename
7411362 1178376 991232 9580970 9231aa vmlinux
I was choosing between resched_curr() and resched_rq(),
and the first name looks better for me.
A little lie in Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt. I have not
actually collected the tracing again. With a hope the patch
won't make execution times much worse :)

vmscan/mm_vmscan_lru_isolate
When using trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl for checking the file/anon rate
of scanning, we can find that it can not be performed. At the same
time, the following message will be reported:
WARNING: Format not as expected for event vmscan/mm_vmscan_lru_isolate
'file' != 'contig_taken' Fewer fields than expected in format at
./trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl line 171, <FORMAT> line 76.
In trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl, (contig_taken, contig_dirty, and
contig_failed) are be associated respectively to (nr_lumpy_taken,
nr_lumpy_dirty, and nr_lumpy_failed) for lumpy reclaim. Via commit

In the function-graph tracer, add a funcgraph_tail option
to print the function name on all } lines, not just
functions whose first line is no longer in the trace
buffer.
If a function calls other traced functions, its total
time appears on its } line. This change allows grep
to be used to determine the function for which the
line corresponds.
Update Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt to describe
this new option.

There are some code paths in the kernel that need to do some preparations
before it calls a tracepoint. As that code is worthless overhead when
the tracepoint is not enabled, it would be prudent to have that code
only run when the tracepoint is active. To accomplish this, all tracepoints
now get a static inline function called "trace_<tracepoint-name>_enabled()"
which returns true when the tracepoint is enabled and false otherwise.
As an added bonus, that function uses the static_key of the tracepoint
such that no branch is needed.
if (trace_mytracepoint_enabled()) {
arg = process_tp_arg();
trace_mytracepoint(arg);
}
Will keep the "process_tp_arg()" (which may be expensive to run) from
being executed when the tracepoint isn't enabled.
It's best to encapsulate the tracepoint itself in the if statement
just to keep races. For example, if you had:
if (trace_mytracepoint_enabled())
arg = process_tp_arg();
trace_mytracepoint(arg);
There's a chance that the tracepoint could be enabled just after the
if statement, and arg will be undefined when calling the tracepoint.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"Most of the changes were largely clean ups, and some documentation.
But there were a few features that were added:
Uprobes now work with event triggers and multi buffers and have
support under ftrace and perf.
The big feature is that the function tracer can now be used within the
multi buffer instances. That is, you can now trace some functions in
one buffer, others in another buffer, all functions in a third buffer
and so on. They are basically agnostic from each other. This only
works for the function tracer and not for the function graph trace,
although you can have the function graph tracer running in the top
level buffer (or any tracer for that matter) and have different
function tracing going on in the sub buffers"

local variable from ftrace_init which is now unused.
Note the documentation was imprecise as it did not suggest to set
(*data) to 0.

No architecture uses the "data" parameter in ftrace_dyn_arch_init() in any
way, it just sets the value to 0. And this is used as a return value
in the caller -- ftrace_init, which just checks the retval against
zero.
Note there is also "return 0" in every ftrace_dyn_arch_init. So it is
enough to check the retval and remove all the indirect sets of data on
all archs.

Enable to fetch data from a file offset. Currently it only supports
fetching from same binary uprobe set. It'll translate the file offset
to a proper virtual address in the process.
The syntax is "@+OFFSET" as it does similar to normal memory fetching
(@ADDR) which does no address translation.

Enable to fetch other types of argument for the uprobes. IOW, we can
access stack, memory, deref, bitfield and retval from uprobes now.
The format for the argument types are same as kprobes (but @SYMBOL
type is not supported for uprobes), i.e:
@ADDR : Fetch memory at ADDR
$stackN : Fetch Nth entry of stack (N >= 0)
$stack : Fetch stack address
$retval : Fetch return value
+|-offs(FETCHARG) : Fetch memory at FETCHARG +|- offs address
Note that the retval only can be used with uretprobes.

Pull tracing changes from Steven Rostedt:
"The majority of the changes here are cleanups for the large changes
that were added to 3.10, which includes several bug fixes that have
been marked for stable.
As for new features, there were a few, but nothing to write to LWN
about. These include:
New function trigger called "dump" and "cpudump" that will cause
ftrace to dump its buffer to the console when the function is called.
The difference between "dump" and "cpudump" is that "dump" will dump
the entire contents of the ftrace buffer, where as "cpudump" will only
dump the contents of the ftrace buffer for the CPU that called the
function.
Another small enhancement is a new sysctl switch called
"traceoff_on_warning" which, when enabled, will disable tracing if any
WARN_ON() is triggered. This is useful if you want to debug what
caused a warning and do not want to risk losing your trace data by the
ring buffer overwriting the data before you can disable it. There's
also a kernel command line option that will make this enabled at boot
up called the same thing"

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This time the total number of ACPI commits is slightly greater than
the number of cpufreq commits, but Viresh Kumar (who works on cpufreq)
remains the most active patch submitter.
To me, the most significant change is the addition of offline/online
device operations to the driver core (with the Greg's blessing) and
the related modifications of the ACPI core hotplug code. Next are the
freezer updates from Colin Cross that should make the freezing of
tasks a bit less heavy weight.
We also have a couple of regression fixes, a number of fixes for
issues that have not been identified as regressions, two new drivers
and a bunch of cleanups all over.
Highlights:
- Hotplug changes to support graceful hot-removal failures.
It sometimes is necessary to fail device hot-removal operations
gracefully if they cannot be carried out completely. For example,
if memory from a memory module being hot-removed has been allocated
for the kernel's own use and cannot be moved elsewhere, it's
desirable to fail the hot-removal operation in a graceful way
rather than to crash the kernel, but currenty a success or a kernel
crash are the only possible outcomes of an attempted memory
hot-removal. Needless to say, that is not a very attractive
alternative and it had to be addressed.
However, in order to make it work for memory, I first had to make
it work for CPUs and for this purpose I needed to modify the ACPI
processor driver. It's been split into two parts, a resident one
handling the low-level initialization/cleanup and a modular one
playing the actual driver's role (but it binds to the CPU system
device objects rather than to the ACPI device objects representing
processors). That's been sort of like a live brain surgery on a
patient who's riding a bike.
So this is a little scary, but since we found and fixed a couple of
regressions it caused to happen during the early linux-next testing
(a month ago), nobody has complained.
As a bonus we remove some duplicated ACPI hotplug code, because the
ACPI-based CPU hotplug is now going to use the common ACPI hotplug
code.
- Lighter weight freezing of tasks.
These changes from Colin Cross and Mandeep Singh Baines are
targeted at making the freezing of tasks a bit less heavy weight
operation. They reduce the number of tasks woken up every time
during the freezing, by using the observation that the freezer
simply doesn't need to wake up some of them and wait for them all
to call refrigerator(). The time needed for the freezer to decide
to report a failure is reduced too.
Also reintroduced is the check causing a lockdep warining to
trigger when try_to_freeze() is called with locks held (which is
generally unsafe and shouldn't happen).
- cpufreq updates
First off, a commit from Srivatsa S Bhat fixes a resume regression
introduced during the 3.10 cycle causing some cpufreq sysfs
attributes to return wrong values to user space after resume. The
fix is kind of fresh, but also it's pretty obvious once Srivatsa
has identified the root cause.
Second, we have a new freqdomain_cpus sysfs attribute for the
acpi-cpufreq driver to provide information previously available via
related_cpus. From Lan Tianyu.
Finally, we fix a number of issues, mostly related to the
CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notifier and cpufreq Kconfig options and clean
up some code. The majority of changes from Viresh Kumar with bits
from Jacob Shin, Heiko Stübner, Xiaoguang Chen, Ezequiel Garcia,
Arnd Bergmann, and Tang Yuantian.
- ACPICA update
A usual bunch of updates from the ACPICA upstream.
During the 3.4 cycle we introduced support for ACPI 5 extended
sleep registers, but they are only supposed to be used if the
HW-reduced mode bit is set in the FADT flags and the code attempted
to use them without checking that bit. That caused suspend/resume
regressions to happen on some systems. Fix from Lv Zheng causes
those registers to be used only if the HW-reduced mode bit is set.
Apart from this some other ACPICA bugs are fixed and code cleanups
are made by Bob Moore, Tomasz Nowicki, Lv Zheng, Chao Guan, and
Zhang Rui.
- cpuidle updates
New driver for Xilinx Zynq processors is added by Michal Simek.
Multidriver support simplification, addition of some missing
kerneldoc comments and Kconfig-related fixes come from Daniel
Lezcano.
- ACPI power management updates
Changes to make suspend/resume work correctly in Xen guests from
Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk, sparse warning fix from Fengguang Wu and
cleanups and fixes of the ACPI device power state selection
routine.
- ACPI documentation updates
Some previously missing pieces of ACPI documentation are added by
Lv Zheng and Aaron Lu (hopefully, that will help people to
uderstand how the ACPI subsystem works) and one outdated doc is
updated by Hanjun Guo.
- Assorted ACPI updates
We finally nailed down the IA-64 issue that was the reason for
reverting commit 9f29ab11ddbf ("ACPI / scan: do not match drivers
against objects having scan handlers"), so we can fix it and move
the ACPI scan handler check added to the ACPI video driver back to
the core.
A mechanism for adding CMOS RTC address space handlers is
introduced by Lan Tianyu to allow some EC-related breakage to be
fixed on some systems.
A spec-compliant implementation of acpi_os_get_timer() is added by
Mika Westerberg.
The evaluation of _STA is added to do_acpi_find_child() to avoid
situations in which a pointer to a disabled device object is
returned instead of an enabled one with the same _ADR value. From
Jeff Wu.
Intel BayTrail PCH (Platform Controller Hub) support is added to
the ACPI driver for Intel Low-Power Subsystems (LPSS) and that
driver is modified to work around a couple of known BIOS issues.
Changes from Mika Westerberg and Heikki Krogerus.
The EC driver is fixed by Vasiliy Kulikov to use get_user() and
put_user() instead of dereferencing user space pointers blindly.
Code cleanups are made by Bjorn Helgaas, Nicholas Mazzuca and Toshi
Kani.
- Assorted power management updates
The "runtime idle" helper routine is changed to take the return
values of the callbacks executed by it into account and to call
rpm_suspend() if they return 0, which allows us to reduce the
overall code bloat a bit (by dropping some code that's not
necessary any more after that modification).
The runtime PM documentation is updated by Alan Stern (to reflect
the "runtime idle" behavior change).
New trace points for PM QoS are added by Sahara
(<keun-o.park@windriver.com>).
PM QoS documentation is updated by Lan Tianyu.
Code cleanups are made and minor issues are addressed by Bernie
Thompson, Bjorn Helgaas, Julius Werner, and Shuah Khan.
- devfreq updates
New driver for the Exynos5-bus device from Abhilash Kesavan.
Minor cleanups, fixes and MAINTAINERS update from MyungJoo Ham,
Abhilash Kesavan, Paul Bolle, Rajagopal Venkat, and Wei Yongjun.

There are some cases when filtering on a set flag of a field of a tracepoint
is useful. But currently the only filtering commands for numbered fields
is ==, !=, <, <=, >, >=. This does not help when you just want to trace if
a specific flag is set. For example:
> # sudo trace-cmd record -e brcmfmac:brcmf_dbg -f 'level & 0x40000'
> disable all
> enable brcmfmac:brcmf_dbg
> path = /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/brcmfmac/brcmf_dbg/enable
> (level & 0x40000)
> ^
> parse_error: Invalid operator
>
When trying to trace brcmf_dbg when level has its 1 << 18 bit set, the
filter fails to perform.
By allowing a binary '&' operation, this gives the user the ability to
test a bit.
Note, a binary '|' is not added, as it doesn't make sense as fields must
be compared to constants (for now), and ORing a constant will always return
true.

Add the "cpudump" command to have the current CPU ftrace buffer dumped
to console if a function is hit. This is useful when debugging a
tripple fault, where you have an idea of a function that is called
just before the tripple fault occurs, and can tell ftrace to dump its
content out to the console before it continues.
This differs from the "dump" command as it only dumps the content of
the ring buffer for the currently executing CPU, and does not show
the contents of the other CPUs.
Format is:
<function>:cpudump
echo 'bad_address:cpudump' > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"Along with the usual minor fixes and clean ups there are a few major
changes with this pull request.
1) Multiple buffers for the ftrace facility
This feature has been requested by many people over the last few
years. I even heard that Google was about to implement it themselves.
I finally had time and cleaned up the code such that you can now
create multiple instances of the ftrace buffer and have different
events go to different buffers. This way, a low frequency event will
not be lost in the noise of a high frequency event.
Note, currently only events can go to different buffers, the tracers
(ie function, function_graph and the latency tracers) still can only
be written to the main buffer.
2) The function tracer triggers have now been extended.
The function tracer had two triggers. One to enable tracing when a
function is hit, and one to disable tracing. Now you can record a
stack trace on a single (or many) function(s), take a snapshot of the
buffer (copy it to the snapshot buffer), and you can enable or disable
an event to be traced when a function is hit.
3) A perf clock has been added.
A "perf" clock can be chosen to be used when tracing. This will cause
ftrace to use the same clock as perf uses, and hopefully this will
make it easier to interleave the perf and ftrace data for analysis."

The ftrace.txt document has been suffering from some serious bit rot.
Updated the current content to how things are as of v3.10.
Remove things that no longer exist.
Add documentation about new features:
per_cpu
stats
instances
stack trace
etc.
