cover tracing: Minor fixes

Three minor tracing fixes:

- Fix missing prototypes in sample module for direct functions

- Fix check of valid buffer in get_trace_buf()

- Fix annotations of percpu pointers.

Jiri Olsa (1):
ftrace/samples: Add missing prototypes direct functions

Naveen N. Rao (2):
tracing: Fix check for trace_percpu_buffer validity in get_trace_buf()
tracing: Tag trace_percpu_buffer as a percpu pointer

PATCH 1/3 ftrace/samples: Add missing prototypes direct functions

From: Jiri Olsa <[email protected]>

There's another compilation fail (first here [1]) reported by kernel test robot for W=1 clang build:

Quoted 1 line
Quoted 1 line

samples/ftrace/ftrace-direct-multi-modify.c:7:6: warning: no previous

prototype for function 'my_direct_func1' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
void my_direct_func1(unsigned long ip)

Direct functions in ftrace direct sample modules need to have prototypes defined. They are already global in order to be visible for the inline assembly, so there's no problem.

The kernel test robot reported just error for ftrace-direct-multi-modify, but I got same errors also for the rest of the modules touched by this patch.

[1] 67d4f6e3bf5d ftrace/samples: Add missing prototype for my_direct_func

PATCH 2/3 tracing: Fix check for trace_percpu_buffer validity in get_trace_buf()

With the new osnoise tracer, we are seeing the below splat:

osnoise tracer on ppc64le is triggering osnoise_taint() for negative duration in get_int_safe_duration() called from trace_sched_switch_callback()->thread_exit().

The problem though is that the check for a valid trace_percpu_buffer is incorrect in get_trace_buf(). The check is being done after calculating the pointer for the current cpu, rather than on the main percpu pointer. Fix the check to be against trace_percpu_buffer.

Fixes e2ace001176dc9 ("tracing: Choose static tp_printk buffer by explicit nesting count")

PATCH 3/3 tracing: Tag trace_percpu_buffer as a percpu pointer

In reply to Steven Rostedt
