Merge tag 'trace-v6.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Allow kernel trace instance creation to specify what events are created Inside the kernel, a subsystem may create a tracing instance that it can use to send events to user space. This sub-system may not care about the thousands of events that exist in eventfs. Allow the sub-system to specify what sub-systems of events it cares about, and only those events are exposed to this instance. - Allow the ring buffer to be broken up into bigger sub-buffers than just the architecture page size. A new tracefs file called "buffer_subbuf_size_kb" is created. The user can now specify a minimum size the sub-buffer may be in kilobytes. Note, that the implementation currently make the sub-buffer size a power of 2 pages (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...) but the user only writes in kilobyte size, and the sub-buffer will be updated to the next size that it will can accommodate it. If the user writes in 10, it will change the size to be 4 pages on x86 (16K), as that is the next available size that can hold 10K pages. - Update the debug output when a corrupt time is detected in the ring buffer. If the ring buffer detects inconsistent timestamps, there's a debug config options that will dump the contents of the meta data of the sub-buffer that is used for debugging. Add some more information to this dump that helps with debugging. - Add more timestamp debugging checks (only triggers when the config is enabled) - Increase the trace_seq iterator to 2 page sizes. - Allow strings written into tracefs_marker to be larger. Up to just under 2 page sizes (based on what trace_seq can hold). - Increase the trace_maker_raw write to be as big as a sub-buffer can hold. - Remove 32 bit time stamp logic, now that the rb_time_cmpxchg() has been removed. - More selftests were added. - Some code clean ups as well. * tag 'trace-v6.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (29 commits) ring-buffer: Remove stale comment from ring_buffer_size() tracing histograms: Simplify parse_actions() function tracing/selftests: Remove exec permissions from trace_marker.tc test ring-buffer: Use subbuf_order for buffer page masking tracing: Update subbuffer with kilobytes not page order ringbuffer/selftest: Add basic selftest to test changing subbuf order ring-buffer: Add documentation on the buffer_subbuf_order file ring-buffer: Just update the subbuffers when changing their allocation order ring-buffer: Keep the same size when updating the order tracing: Stop the tracing while changing the ring buffer subbuf size tracing: Update snapshot order along with main buffer order ring-buffer: Make sure the spare sub buffer used for reads has same size ring-buffer: Do no swap cpu buffers if order is different ring-buffer: Clear pages on error in ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() failure ring-buffer: Read and write to ring buffers with custom sub buffer size ring-buffer: Set new size of the ring buffer sub page ring-buffer: Add interface for configuring trace sub buffer size ring-buffer: Page size per ring buffer ring-buffer: Have ring_buffer_print_page_header() be able to access ring_buffer_iter ring-buffer: Check if absolute timestamp goes backwards ...
