      kernel: provide create_io_thread() helper · cc440e87
      Jens Axboe authored
      
      Provide a generic helper for setting up an io_uring worker. Returns a
      task_struct so that the caller can do whatever setup is needed, then call
      wake_up_new_task() to kick it into gear.
      
      Add a kernel_clone_args member, io_thread, which tells copy_process() to
      mark the task with PF_IO_WORKER.

      tracing: Skip selftests if tracing is disabled · ee666a18
      Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored
      
      If tracing is disabled for some reason (traceoff_on_warning, command line,
      etc), the ftrace selftests are guaranteed to fail, as their results are
      defined by trace data in the ring buffers. If the ring buffers are turned
      off, the tests will fail, due to lack of data.
      
      Because tracing being disabled is for a specific reason (warning, user
      decided to, etc), it does not make sense to enable tracing to run the self
      tests, as the test output may corrupt the reason for the tracing to be
      disabled.
      
      Instead, simply skip the self tests and report that they are being skipped
      due to tracing being disabled.

      In __create_synth_event(), while iterating field/type arguments, the
      argv_split() will return array of atleast 2 elements even when zero
      arguments(argc=0) are passed. for e.g. when there is double delimiter
      or string ends with delimiter
      
      To fix call argv_free() even when argc=0.

      ring-buffer: Add a little more information and a WARN when time stamp going backwards is detected · 6549de1f
      Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored
      
      When the CONFIG_RING_BUFFER_VALIDATE_TIME_DELTAS is enabled, and the time
      stamps are detected as not being valid, it reports information about the
      write stamp, but does not show the before_stamp which is still useful
      information. Also, it should give a warning once, such that tests detect
      this happening.

      ring-buffer: Force before_stamp and write_stamp to be different on discard · 6f6be606
      Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored
      
      Part of the logic of the new time stamp code depends on the before_stamp and
      the write_stamp to be different if the write_stamp does not match the last
      event on the buffer, as it will be used to calculate the delta of the next
      event written on the buffer.
      
      The discard logic depends on this, as the next event to come in needs to
      inject a full timestamp as it can not rely on the last event timestamp in
      the buffer because it is unknown due to events after it being discarded. But
      by changing the write_stamp back to the time before it, it forces the next
      event to use a full time stamp, instead of relying on it.
      
      The issue came when a full time stamp was used for the event, and
      rb_time_delta() returns zero in that case. The update to the write_stamp
      (which subtracts delta) made it not change. Then when the event is removed
      from the buffer, because the before_stamp and write_stamp still match, the
      next event written would calculate its delta from the write_stamp, but that
      would be wrong as the write_stamp is of the time of the event that was
      discarded.
      
      In the case that the delta change being made to write_stamp is zero, set the
      before_stamp to zero as well, and this will force the next event to inject a
      full timestamp and not use the current write_stamp.
