- Do not invalidate entire buffer for invalid sub-buffers For the persistent ring buffer, if one sub-buffer is found to be invalid, it invalidates the entire per CPU ring buffer. This can lose a lot of valuable data if there's some corruption with the writes to the buffer not syncing properly on a hard crash. Instead, if a sub-buffer is found to be invalid, simply zero it out and mark it for "missed events". When the persistent ring buffer is read and a sub-buffer that was cleared due to being invalid on boot up is discovered, the output will show "[LOST EVENTS]" to let the user know that events were missing at that location. Displaying the events from valid buffers can still be useful. - Add a test to be able to test corrupted sub-buffers If a persistent ring buffer is created as "ptraingtest" and the new config that adds the test is enabled, when a panic happens, the kernel will randomly corrupt one of the per CPU ring buffers. On boot up, the sub-buffers with the corruption should be cleared and flagged. When reading this buffer, the missed events should should [LOST EVENTS]. - Add commit number in the sub-buffer meta debug info The commit is used to know the content of a meta page. Add it to the buffer_meta file that is shown for each per CPU buffer. - Clean up the persistent ring buffer validation code Add some helper functions and make variable names more consistent. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYKADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCajMDZBQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qhDLAP4i0b8HP159LOEy/IiQKZ7hfAaUhTK8 imMVS6V1bVKTjgD8Dy/f9m8259ZIcgN9mjSKXlT30qAeGmhjjDCdc0TnagM= =mokF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-ring-buffer-v7.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt - Do not invalidate entire buffer for invalid sub-buffers For the persistent ring buffer, if one sub-buffer is found to be invalid, it invalidates the entire per CPU ring buffer.
