- kprobes: Restructured stack unwinder to show properly on x86 when a stack dump happens from a kretprobe callback. - Fix to bootconfig parsing - Have tracefs allow owner and group permissions by default (only denying others). There's been pressure to allow non root to tracefs in a controlled fashion, and using groups is probably the safest. - Bootconfig memory managament updates. - Bootconfig clean up to have the tools directory be less dependent on changes in the kernel tree. - Allow perf to be traced by function tracer. - Rewrite of function graph tracer to be a callback from the function tracer instead of having its own trampoline (this change will happen on an arch by arch basis, and currently only x86_64 implements it). - Allow multiple direct trampolines (bpf hooks to functions) be batched together in one synchronization. - Allow histogram triggers to add variables that can perform calculations against the event's fields. - Use the linker to determine architecture callbacks from the ftrace trampoline to allow for proper parameter prototypes and prevent warnings from the compiler. - Extend histogram triggers to key off of variables. - Have trace recursion use bit magic to determine preempt context over if branches. - Have trace recursion disable preemption as all use cases do anyway. - Added testing for verification of tracing utilities. - Various small clean ups and fixes. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCYYBdxhQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qp1sAQD2oYFwaG3sx872gj/myBcHIBSKdiki Hry5csd8zYDBpgD+Poylopt5JIbeDuoYw/BedgEXmscZ8Qr7VzjAXdnv/Q4= =Loz8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v5.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - kprobes: Restructured stack unwinder to show properly on x86 when a stack dump happens from a kretprobe callback. - Fix to bootconfig parsing - Have tracefs allow owner and group permissions by default (only denying others).

Linux Ftrace Testcases
This is a collection of testcases for ftrace tracing feature in the Linux
kernel. Since ftrace exports interfaces via the debugfs, we just need
shell scripts for testing. Feel free to add new test cases.
Running the ftrace testcases
============================
At first, you need to be the root user to run this script.
To run all testcases:
$ sudo ./ftracetest
To run specific testcases:
# ./ftracetest test.d/basic3.tc
Or you can also run testcases under given directory:
# ./ftracetest test.d/kprobe/
Contributing new testcases
==========================
Copy test.d/template to your testcase (whose filename must have *.tc
extension) and rewrite the test description line.
* The working directory of the script is <debugfs>/tracing/.
* Take care with side effects as the tests are run with root privilege.
* The tests should not run for a long period of time (more than 1 min.)
These are to be unit tests.
* You can add a directory for your testcases under test.d/ if needed.
* The test cases should run on dash (busybox shell) for testing on
minimal cross-build environments.
* Note that the tests are run with "set -e" (errexit) option. If any
command fails, the test will be terminated immediately.
* The tests can return some result codes instead of pass or fail by
using exit_unresolved, exit_untested, exit_unsupported and exit_xfail.
Result code
===========
Ftracetest supports following result codes.
* PASS: The test succeeded as expected. The test which exits with 0 is
counted as passed test.
* FAIL: The test failed, but was expected to succeed. The test which exits
with !0 is counted as failed test.
* UNRESOLVED: The test produced unclear or intermidiate results.
for example, the test was interrupted
or the test depends on a previous test, which failed.
or the test was set up incorrectly
The test which is in above situation, must call exit_unresolved.
* UNTESTED: The test was not run, currently just a placeholder.
In this case, the test must call exit_untested.
* UNSUPPORTED: The test failed because of lack of feature.
In this case, the test must call exit_unsupported.
* XFAIL: The test failed, and was expected to fail.
To return XFAIL, call exit_xfail from the test.
There are some sample test scripts for result code under samples/.
You can also run samples as below:
# ./ftracetest samples/

* Fancy colored output :)
