LTTng logger ABI

Add a user-space ABI (new file /proc/lttng-logger) to lttng-modules
which can be written into by any user on the system. The content is
saved into the kernel trace stream into the "lttng_logger" kernel event.

The content of a single write is written into an lttng_logger event.
The write count is truncated to 1024 bytes (if larger), which is much
smaller than the smallest subbuffer size available (4096 bytes). This
ensures all written data makes it into the active tracing buffers.

Example use:

lttng-sessiond -d # (as root)
lttng create
lttng enable-event -k lttng_logger
lttng start

echo -n "this is a test" > /proc/lttng-logger

lttng stop
lttng view

Example result:

[17:00:04.251970425] (+179.750663203) thinkos lttng_logger: { cpu_id = 3 }, { _msg_length = 14, msg = "this is a test" }

Fix: eliminate timestamp overlap between packets

By using the timestamp sampled at space reservation when the packet is
being filled as "end timestamp" for a packet, we can ensure there is no
overlap between packet timestamp ranges, so that packet timestamp end <=
following packets timestamp begin.

Overlap between consecutive packets becomes an issue when the end
timestamp of a packet is greater than the end timestamp of a following
packet, IOW a packet completely contains the timestamp range of a
following packet.  This kind of situation does not allow trace viewers
to do binary search within the packet timestamps. This kind of situation
will typically never occur if packets are significantly larger than
event size, but this fix ensures it can never even theoretically happen.

The only case where packets can still theoretically overlap is if they
have equal begin and end timestamps, which is valid.

Fix: metadata stream should not reference session

The metadata stream should only reference the metadata cache, not the
session. Otherwise, we end up in a catch 22 situation:

- Stream POLLHUP is only given when the session is destroyed, but,
- The session is only destroyed when all references to session are
  released, including references from channels, but,
- If the metadata stream holds a reference on the metadata session, we
  end up with a circular dependency loop.

Fix this by making sure the metadata stream does not use any of the
lttng channel nor lttng session.

However, we don't want to populate data from the metadata cache into the
stream until put_next_subbuf is issued. Add a check to ensure that it is
not populated until required.

Also, disallow get_subbuf() ioctl on metadata channel: its random-access

Fix: SWITCH_FLUSH new sub-buffer checks

The SWITCH_FLUSH, when performed on a completely empty sub-buffer, was
missing some checks (imported from space reservation).

Fix: ring buffer: handle concurrent update in nested buffer wrap around check

With stress-test loads that trigger sub-buffer switch very frequently
(small 4kB sub-buffers, frequent flush), we currently observe this kind
of warnings once every few minutes:

[65335.896208] ring buffer relay-overwrite-mmap, cpu 5: records were lost. Caused by:
[65335.896208]   [ 0 buffer full, 1 nest buffer wrap-around, 0 event too big ]

It appears that the check for nested buffer wrap-around does not take
into account that a concurrent execution contexts (either nested for
per-cpu buffers, or from another CPU or nested for global buffers) can
update the commit_count value concurrently.

What we really want to do with this check is to ensure that if we enter
a sub-buffer that had an unbalanced reserve/commit count, assuming there
is no hope that this gets rebalanced promptly, we detect this and drop
the current event. However, in the case where the commit counter has
been concurrently updated by another reserve or a switch, we want to
retry the entire reserve operation.

One way to detect this is to sample the reserve offset twice, around the
commit counter read, along with the appropriate memory barriers.
Therefore, we can detect if the mismatch between reserve and commit
counter is actually caused by a concurrent update, which necessarily has
updated the reserve counter.

Cleanup: lib_ring_buffer_switch_new_end() only calls subbuffer_set_data_size()

lib_ring_buffer_switch_new_end() is always called when an event exactly
fills a sub-buffer, which makes padding_size always 0. However, there is
one side-effect that lib_ring_buffer_switch_new_end() needs to have: it
calls subbuffer_set_data_size() to update the size of the data to be
read from the sub-buffer.

Fix: handle writes of length 0

lib_ring_buffer_write(), lib_ring_buffer_memset() and
lib_ring_buffer_copy_from_user_inatomic() could be passed a length of 0.
This typically has no side-effect as far as writing into the buffers is
concerned, except for one detail: in overwrite mode, there is a check to
make sure the sub-buffer can be written into. This check is performed
even if length is 0. In the case where this would fall exactly at the
end of a sub-buffer, the check would fail, because the offset would fall
exactly at the beginning of the next sub-buffer.

It triggers this warning:

Fix: ring buffer: RING_BUFFER_FLUSH ioctl buffer corruption

lib_ring_buffer_switch_slow() clearly states:

 * Note, however, that as a v_cmpxchg is used for some atomic
 * operations, this function must be called from the CPU which owns the
 * buffer for a ACTIVE flush.

But unfortunately, the RING_BUFFER_FLUSH ioctl does not follow these
important directives. Therefore, whenever the consumer daemon or session
daemon explicitly triggers a "flush" on a buffer, it can race with data
being written to the buffer, leading to corruption of the reserve/commit
counters, and therefore corruption of data in the buffer. It triggers
these warnings for overwrite mode buffers:

[65356.890016] WARNING: at
/home/compudj/git/lttng-modules/wrapper/ringbuffer/../../lib/ringbuffer/../../wrapper/ringbuffer/../../lib/ringbuffer/backend.h:110 lttng_event_write+0x118/0x140 [lttng_ring_buffer_client_mmap_overwrite]()

Which indicates that we are trying to write into a sub-buffer for which
we don't have exclusive access. It also causes the following warnings to
show up:

[65335.896208] ring buffer relay-overwrite-mmap, cpu 5: records were lost. Caused by:
[65335.896208]   [ 0 buffer full, 80910 nest buffer wrap-around, 0 event too big ]

Which is caused by corrupted commit counter.

Fix this by sending an IPI to the CPU owning the flushed buffer for
per-cpu synchronization. For global synchronization, no IPI is needed,
since we allow writes from remote CPUs.

Cleanup: ring buffer: remove lib_ring_buffer_switch_new_end()

lib_ring_buffer_switch_new_end() is a leftover from the days where an
event that would exactly fill the current sub-buffer would automatically
trigger a sub-buffer switch into the next sub-buffer.

Even before the ring buffer code has been moved into lttng-modules, this
behavior had been changed: an event that exactly fills a sub-buffer only
fills this current sub-buffer, and does not need to switch into the
next one to populate the sub-buffer header. This change had been done so
periodical timer switch, which shares the same semantic as an event
exactly filling a sub-buffer, would not create tons of empty
sub-buffers.

However, when doing this change, lib_ring_buffer_switch_new_end() has
not been removed, but clearly should have been. Its job is now performed
by the event "commit".

lib_ring_buffer_switch_new_end() has no effect, since padding_size is
always 0.

Metadata cache and multiple metadata channels

Implement a cache for the kernel metadata and a list of metadata
channels.

When new metadata is appended, all metadata channels are awakened so
they can return from poll and get the newly added metadata
This allows to request the metadata multiple times by creating multiple
metadata channels (useful for snapshots).

With this new feature, the poll and get_subbuf ring buffer operations
are now overridden by lttng-abi for the metadata channels, to check the
cache before doing these operations.

Remove bashism in lttng-syscalls-generate-headers.sh

Options to echo are not portable. In particular, the 'echo -e' option is
implemented by some shells, including bash, to expand escape sequences.
However, dash is one of the other family of shells that instead expands
escape sequences by default.

The printf command is portable and much more reliable.

Remove useless lttng_metadata probe

We don't use this event anymore since we write the metadata directly
into the ring buffer, no need for an external event. This probe was
the only one in the lttng-probe-lttng module, so we can get rid of
this module as well.
