- Fix reporting MISSED EVENTS in trace iterator
When the "trace" file is read with tracing enabled, if the writer
were to pass the iterator reader, it resets, sets a "missed_events"
flag and continues. The tracing output checks for missed events and
if there are some, it prints out "[LOST EVENTS]" to let the user
know events were dropped.
But the clearing of the missed_events happened when the tracing system
queried the ring buffer iterator about missed events. This was premature
as the ring buffer is per CPU, and the tracing code reads all the
CPU buffers and checks for missed events when it is read. If the
CPU iterator that had missed events isn't printed next, the output
for the LOST EVENTS is lost.
Clear the missed_events flag when the iterator moves to the next event
and not when the missed_events flag is queried. Also clear it on reset.
- Flush and stop the persistent ring buffer on panic
On panic the persistent ring buffer is used to debug what caused the
panic. But on some architectures, it requires flushing the memory
from cache, otherwise, the ring buffer persistent memory may not have
the last events and this could also cause the ring buffer to be
corrupted on the next boot.
- Fix nr_subbufs initialization in simple_ring_buffer_init_mm
The remote simple ring buffer meta data nr_subbufs is initialized
too early and gets cleared later on, making it zero and not reflect
the actual number of sub-buffers.
- Fix unload_page for simple_ring_buffer init rollback
On error, the pages loaded need to be unloaded. To unload a page
it is expected that: page = load_page(va); -> unload_page(page).
But the code was doing: unload_page(va) and not unload_page(page).
- Create output file from cmd_check_undefined
The check for undefined symbols checks if the file *.o.checked exists
and if so it skips doing the work. But the *.o.checked file never
was created making every build do the work even when it was already
done previously.
