tracing: Mark binary printing functions with __printf() attribute

Binary printing functions are using printf() type of format, and compiler
is not happy about them as is:

kernel/trace/trace.c:3292:9: error: function ‘trace_vbprintk’ might be a candidate for ‘gnu_printf’ format attribute [-Werror=suggest-attribute=format]
kernel/trace/trace_seq.c:182:9: error: function ‘trace_seq_bprintf’ might be a candidate for ‘gnu_printf’ format attribute [-Werror=suggest-attribute=format]

Fix the compilation errors by adding __printf() attribute.

While at it, move existing __printf() attributes from the implementations
to the declarations. IT also fixes incorrect attribute parameters that are
used for trace_array_printk().

tracing: Limit trace_seq size to just 8K and not depend on architecture PAGE_SIZE

The trace_seq buffer is used to print out entire events. It's typically
set to PAGE_SIZE * 2 as there's some events that can be quite large.

As a side effect, writes to trace_marker is limited by both the size of the
trace_seq buffer as well as the ring buffer's sub-buffer size (which is a
power of PAGE_SIZE). By limiting the trace_seq size, it also limits the
size of the largest string written to trace_marker.

trace_seq does not need to be dependent on PAGE_SIZE like the ring buffer
sub-buffers need to be. Hard code it to 8K which is PAGE_SIZE * 2 on most
architectures. This will also limit the size of trace_marker on those
architectures with greater than 4K PAGE_SIZE.

By increasing the trace_seq buffer to almost two pages, it can now print
out the first line.

This also subtracts the rest of the trace_seq fields from the buffer, so
that the entire trace_seq is now PAGE_SIZE aligned.

tracing: Move readpos from seq_buf to trace_seq

To make seq_buf more lightweight as a string buf, move the readpos member
from seq_buf to its container, trace_seq. That puts the responsibility
of maintaining the readpos entirely in the tracing code. If some future
users want to package up the readpos with a seq_buf, we can define a
new struct then.

the problem is when trace function called, it will allocate up to
DWC3_MSG_MAX bytes from trace event buffer, but never fill the buffer
during fast assignment, it only fill the buffer when output function are
called, so this means if output function are not called, the buffer will
never used.

add __get_buf(len) which acquiree buffer from iter->tmp_seq when trace
output function called, it allow user write string to acquired buffer.

the mentioned dwc3 trace event will changed as below,
DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS(dwc3_log_event,

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different

tracing: Remove return values of most trace_seq_*() functions

The trace_seq_printf() and friends are used to store strings into a buffer
that can be passed around from function to function. If the trace_seq buffer
fills up, it will not print any more. The return values were somewhat
inconsistant and using trace_seq_has_overflowed() was a better way to know
if the write to the trace_seq buffer succeeded or not.

Now that all users have removed reading the return value of the printf()
type functions, they can safely return void and keep future users of them
from reading the inconsistent values as well.

tracing: Add trace_seq_has_overflowed() and trace_handle_return()

Adding a trace_seq_has_overflowed() which returns true if the trace_seq
had too much written into it allows us to simplify the code.

Instead of checking the return value of every call to trace_seq_printf()
and friends, they can all be called normally, and at the end we can
return !trace_seq_has_overflowed() instead.

Several functions also return TRACE_TYPE_PARTIAL_LINE when the trace_seq
overflowed and TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED otherwise. Another helper function
was created called trace_handle_return() which takes a trace_seq and
returns these enums. Using this helper function also simplifies the
code.

This change also makes it possible to remove the return values of
trace_seq_printf() and friends. They should instead just be
void functions.

tracing: Make trace_seq_putmem_hex() more robust

Currently trace_seq_putmem_hex() can only take as a parameter a pointer
to something that is 8 bytes or less, otherwise it will overflow the
buffer. This is protected by a macro that encompasses the call to
trace_seq_putmem_hex() that has a BUILD_BUG_ON() for the variable before
it is passed in. This is not very robust and if trace_seq_putmem_hex() ever
gets used outside that macro it will cause issues.

Instead of only being able to produce a hex output of memory that is for
a single word, change it to be more robust and allow any size input.

tracing: Add __bitmask() macro to trace events to cpumasks and other bitmasks

Being able to show a cpumask of events can be useful as some events
may affect only some CPUs. There is no standard way to record the
cpumask and converting it to a string is rather expensive during
the trace as traces happen in hotpaths. It would be better to record
the raw event mask and be able to parse it at print time.

The following macros were added for use with the TRACE_EVENT() macro:

__bitmask()
__assign_bitmask()
__get_bitmask()

To test this, I added this to the sched_migrate_task event, which
looked like this:

TRACE_EVENT(sched_migrate_task,

TP_PROTO(struct task_struct *p, int dest_cpu, const struct cpumask *cpus),

TP_ARGS(p, dest_cpu, cpus),

TP_STRUCT__entry(
__array( char, comm, TASK_COMM_LEN )
__field( pid_t, pid )
__field( int, prio )
__field( int, orig_cpu )
__field( int, dest_cpu )
__bitmask( cpumask, num_possible_cpus() )
),

TP_fast_assign(
memcpy(__entry->comm, p->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN);
__entry->pid = p->pid;
__entry->prio = p->prio;
__entry->orig_cpu = task_cpu(p);
__entry->dest_cpu = dest_cpu;
__assign_bitmask(cpumask, cpumask_bits(cpus), num_possible_cpus());
),

TP_printk("comm=%s pid=%d prio=%d orig_cpu=%d dest_cpu=%d cpumask=%s",
__entry->comm, __entry->pid, __entry->prio,
__entry->orig_cpu, __entry->dest_cpu,
__get_bitmask(cpumask))
);

With the output of:

tracing: Buffer the output of seq_file in case of filled buffer

If the seq_read fills the buffer it will call s_start again on the next
itertation with the same position. This causes a problem with the
function_graph tracer because it consumes the iteration in order to
determine leaf functions.

What happens is that the iterator stores the entry, and the function
graph plugin will look at the next entry. If that next entry is a return
of the same function and task, then the function is a leaf and the
function_graph plugin calls ring_buffer_read which moves the ring buffer
iterator forward (the trace iterator still points to the function start
entry).

The copying of the trace_seq to the seq_file buffer will fail if the
seq_file buffer is full. The seq_read will not show this entry.
The next read by userspace will cause seq_read to again call s_start
which will reuse the trace iterator entry (the function start entry).
But the function return entry was already consumed. The function graph
plugin will think that this entry is a nested function and not a leaf.

To solve this, the trace code now checks the return status of the
seq_printf (trace_print_seq). If the writing to the seq_file buffer
fails, we set a flag in the iterator (leftover) and we do not reset
the trace_seq buffer. On the next call to s_start, we check the leftover
flag, and if it is set, we just reuse the trace_seq buffer and do not
call into the plugin print functions.

tracing: fix undeclared 'PAGE_SIZE' in include/linux/trace_seq.h

when compiling linux-mips with kmemtrace enabled, there will be an
error:

include/linux/trace_seq.h:12: error: 'PAGE_SIZE' undeclare

tracing: fix undeclared 'PAGE_SIZE' in include/linux/trace_seq.h

when compiling linux-mips with kmemtrace enabled, there will be an
error:

include/linux/trace_seq.h:12: error: 'PAGE_SIZE' undeclared here (not in
a function)

I checked the source code and found trace_seq.h used PAGE_SIZE but not
included the relative header file, so, fix it via adding the header file
<asm/page.h>
