Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix error output of boot instance creation failure
Currently if a boot instance creation fails, instead of printing out
the name of the instance that failed, it prints "(null)". That is
because it prints "cur_str" that had already been processed by
strsep(). Print the saved name instead.
While at it, print the error code of the failure.
- Fix use-after-free for same named historgrams
Histograms can be named so that they can be used in multiple events.
But if the named histogram has a variable attached, the second event
that uses the named histogram which duplicates it and needs to free
the original after duplication leaves the old variable in place and
still visible. If another histogram uses than variable, it will use
the stale one which will try to reference the freed duplicate
histogram and crash the kernel.
Free the duplicate variables along with the duplicated histogram
data.
- Check return value of kthread_run() in event self test
The events self tests uses a kthread for testing but does not check
if it succeeded in creating a kthread. If the kthread creation were
to fail, the code will still try to call kthread_stop() on the error
returned.
- Fix race between reading trace_pipe and updating subbuffer size
If a user is reading the trace_pipe file at the same time they update
the ring buffer sub-buffer size, can cause the trace_pipe read to
read stale data. Add trace_access_lock() around updating the ring
buffer sub-buffer size.
- Fix eventfs_inode on failure path in creation of the events directory
In the creation of the "events" directory, if after allocating the
eventfs_inode a failure is detected, it calls cleanup_ei() which
calls free_ei(). The free_ei() will test if eventfs_inode being freed
has no children. It is a bug if it does. But on the failure case of
the creation of the "events" directory, the children lists have not
yet been initialized and the free will trigger a warning because
list_empty() on an uninitialized list returns false.
Move the initialization into init_ei() where it makes more sense and
makes sure that a created eventfs_inode has its lists initialized
upon creation.
- Check return value of kthread_run() in ftrace direct sample code
The sample code that shows how to use the ftrace direct calls does
not test the return of kthread_run() to see if it succeeds. Return a
failure if the kthread_run() doesn't succeed.
- Clear user events state on fork in case of alloc failure
On fork, the child gets a pointer to the parent's user events state.
It makes a copy of it then updates the child's pointer to it. But if
the allocation fails, the duplication function leaves the child with
a pointer to its parent's descriptor. When the child cleans up its
data, it will free the parent's descriptor while the parent is still
using it.
In the duplication function, set the child's user_event_mm to NULL
before testing if the allocation succeeded, and when it exits it will
not free the parent's descriptor.
- Fix retry exhaustion in simple ring buffer reader swap
simple_ring_buffer_swap_reader_page() starts with retry set to 8 and
post-decrements it only after a failed link replacement. On the final
attempt, a successful replacement leaves retry at zero, while a
failed replacement leaves it at -1.
But the check for success expects the retry value to be non-zero and
exits with an error on zero. This is the opposite result. Fix it.
- Fail nicely when the remote swap_reader_page() returns an error
Currently, if the swap_reader_page() of a remote buffer fails, it
triggers a WARN_ON_ONCE() and continues normally. Instead, have it
exit with an error and a pr_warn() print instead of a full WARNING.

MQDs define the features of the ring +and are used to store the ring's state when it is not connected to hardware. +The driver writes the requested ring features and metadata (GPU addresses of +the ring itself and associated buffers) to the MQD and the firmware uses the MQD +to populate the hardware when the ring is mapped to a hardware slot. Only +available on engines which use MQDs.

Fences are associated with submissions +to the engine. Emitted fences have been submitted to the ring +and signalled fences have been signalled by the GPU.

When the emitted and +signalled fence values are equal, the ring is idle. + +amdgpu_gem_info +--------------- + +Lists all of the PIDs using the GPU and the GPU buffers that they have +allocated. This lists the buffer size, pool (VRAM, GTT, etc.), and buffer +attributes (CPU access required, CPU cache attributes, etc.). + +amdgpu_vm_info +-------------- + +Lists all of the PIDs using the GPU and the GPU buffers that they have +allocated as well as the status of those buffers relative to that process' +GPU virtual address space (e.g., evicted, idle, invalidated, etc.). + +amdgpu_sa_info +-------------- + +Prints out all of the suballocations (sa) by the suballocation manager in the +kernel driver. Prints the GPU address, size, and fence info associated +with each suballocation. The suballocations are used internally within +the kernel driver for various things. + +amdgpu_<pool>_mm +---------------- + +Prints TTM information about the memory pool <pool>. + +amdgpu_vram +----------- + +Provides direct access to VRAM.
