2008-11-03tracing, alpha: undefined reference to `save_stack_trace'Al Viro1-1/+1
Impact: build fix on !stacktrace architectures only select STACKTRACE on architectures that have STACKTRACE_SUPPORT ... since we also need to ifdef out the guts of ftrace_trace_stack(). We also want to disallow setting TRACE_ITER_STACKTRACE in trace_flags on such configs, but that can wait.

2008-10-29ftrace: fix trace_nop config selectSteven Rostedt1-1/+1
Impact: build fix on non-function-tracing architectures The trace_nop is the tracer that is defined when no tracer is set in the ftrace infrastructure. The trace_nop was mistakenly selected by HAVE_FTRACE due to the confusion between ftrace infrastructure and the ftrace function tracer (which has been solved by renaming the function tracer). This patch changes the select to the approriate TRACING. This patch should fix compile errors on architectures that do not define the FUNCTION_TRACER.

2008-10-20ftrace: rename FTRACE to FUNCTION_TRACERSteven Rostedt1-8/+9
Due to confusion between the ftrace infrastructure and the gcc profiling tracer "ftrace", this patch renames the config options from FTRACE to FUNCTION_TRACER. The other two names that are offspring from FTRACE DYNAMIC_FTRACE and FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD will stay the same. This patch was generated mostly by script, and partially by hand.

2008-10-20ftrace: fix dependsSteven Rostedt1-5/+0
A lot of tracers have HAVE_FTRACE as a dependent config where it really should not. The HAVE_FTRACE is a misnomer (soon to be fixed) and describes if the architecture has the function tracer (mcount) implemented. The ftrace infrastructure is implemented in all archs.

2008-10-14tracing: unified trace bufferSteven Rostedt1-0/+4
This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs. I still need to implement the GTOD feature. But we need support from the cpu frequency infrastructure. But this can be done at a later time without affecting the ring buffer interface.

2008-10-14ftrace: add stack tracerSteven Rostedt1-0/+9
This is another tracer using the ftrace infrastructure, that examines at each function call the size of the stack. If the stack use is greater than the previous max it is recorded. You can always see (and set) the max stack size seen. By setting it to zero will start the recording again. The backtrace is also available.

2008-10-14ftrace: create __mcount_loc sectionSteven Rostedt1-0/+8
This patch creates a section in the kernel called "__mcount_loc". This will hold a list of pointers to the mcount relocation for each call site of mcount. For example: objdump -dr init/main.o [...] Disassembly of section .text: 0000000000000000 <do_one_initcall>: 0: 55 push %rbp [...] 000000000000017b <init_post>: 17b: 55 push %rbp 17c: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp 17f: 53 push %rbx 180: 48 83 ec 08 sub $0x8,%rsp 184: e8 00 00 00 00 callq 189 <init_post+0xe> 185: R_X86_64_PC32 mcount+0xfffffffffffffffc [...] We will add a section to point to each function call. .section __mcount_loc,"a",@progbits [...] .quad .text + 0x185 [...] The offset to of the mcount call site in init_post is an offset from the start of the section, and not the start of the function init_post. The mcount relocation is at the call site 0x185 from the start of the .text section. .text + 0x185 == init_post + 0xa We need a way to add this __mcount_loc section in a way that we do not lose the relocations after final link. The .text section here will be attached to all other .text sections after final link and the offsets will be meaningless. We need to keep track of where these .text sections are. To do this, we use the start of the first function in the section. do_one_initcall. We can make a tmp.s file with this function as a reference to the start of the .text section. .section __mcount_loc,"a",@progbits [...] .quad do_one_initcall + 0x185 [...] Then we can compile the tmp.s into a tmp.o gcc -c tmp.s -o tmp.o And link it into back into main.o. ld -r main.o tmp.o -o tmp_main.o mv tmp_main.o main.o But we have a problem. What happens if the first function in a section is not exported, and is a static function. The linker will not let the tmp.o use it. This case exists in main.o as well. Disassembly of section .init.text: 0000000000000000 <set_reset_devices>: 0: 55 push %rbp 1: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp 4: e8 00 00 00 00 callq 9 <set_reset_devices+0x9> 5: R_X86_64_PC32 mcount+0xfffffffffffffffc The first function in .init.text is a static function. 00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices 000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices 0000000000000000 t set_reset_devices The lowercase 't' means that set_reset_devices is local and is not exported. If we simply try to link the tmp.o with the set_reset_devices we end up with two symbols: one local and one global. .section __mcount_loc,"a",@progbits .quad set_reset_devices + 0x10 00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices 000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices 0000000000000000 t set_reset_devices U set_reset_devices We still have an undefined reference to set_reset_devices, and if we try to compile the kernel, we will end up with an undefined reference to set_reset_devices, or even worst, it could be exported someplace else, and then we will have a reference to the wrong location. To handle this case, we make an intermediate step using objcopy. We convert set_reset_devices into a global exported symbol before linking it with tmp.o and set it back afterwards. 00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices 000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices 0000000000000000 T set_reset_devices 00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices 000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices 0000000000000000 T set_reset_devices 00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices 000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices 0000000000000000 t set_reset_devices Now we have a section in main.o called __mcount_loc that we can place somewhere in the kernel using vmlinux.ld.S and access it to convert all these locations that call mcount into nops before starting SMP and thus, eliminating the need to do this with kstop_machine.

2008-05-23ftrace: dynamic enabling/disabling of function callsSteven Rostedt1-0/+17
This patch adds a feature to dynamically replace the ftrace code with the jmps to allow a kernel with ftrace configured to run as fast as it can without it configured. The way this works, is on bootup (if ftrace is enabled), a ftrace function is registered to record the instruction pointer of all places that call the function. Later, if there's still any code to patch, a kthread is awoken (rate limited to at most once a second) that performs a stop_machine, and replaces all the code that was called with a jmp over the call to ftrace. It only replaces what was found the previous time. Typically the system reaches equilibrium quickly after bootup and there's no code patching needed at all. e.g. call ftrace /* 5 bytes */ is replaced with jmp 3f /* jmp is 2 bytes and we jump 3 forward */ 3: When we want to enable ftrace for function tracing, the IP recording is removed, and stop_machine is called again to replace all the locations of that were recorded back to the call of ftrace. When it is disabled, we replace the code back to the jmp. Allocation is done by the kthread. If the ftrace recording function is called, and we don't have any record slots available, then we simply skip that call. Once a second a new page (if needed) is allocated for recording new ftrace function calls. A large batch is allocated at boot up to get most of the calls there. Because we do this via stop_machine, we don't have to worry about another CPU executing a ftrace call as we modify it. But we do need to worry about NMI's so all functions that might be called via nmi must be annotated with notrace_nmi. When this code is configured in, the NMI code will not call notrace.

2008-05-23ftrace: trace preempt off critical timingsSteven Rostedt1-0/+25
Add preempt off timings. A lot of kernel core code is taken from the RT patch latency trace that was written by Ingo Molnar. This adds "preemptoff" and "preemptirqsoff" to /debugfs/tracing/available_tracers Now instead of just tracing irqs off, preemption off can be selected to be recorded. When this is selected, it shares the same files as irqs off timings. One can either trace preemption off, irqs off, or one or the other off. By echoing "preemptoff" into /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer, recording of preempt off only is performed. "irqsoff" will only record the time irqs are disabled, but "preemptirqsoff" will take the total time irqs or preemption are disabled. Runtime switching of these options is now supported by simpling echoing in the appropriate trace name into /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer.

2008-05-23ftrace: latency tracer infrastructureSteven Rostedt1-0/+5
This patch adds the latency tracer infrastructure. This patch does not add anything that will select and turn it on, but will be used by later patches. If it were to be compiled, it would add the following files to the debugfs: The root tracing directory: /debugfs/tracing/ This patch also adds the following files: available_tracers list of available tracers. Currently no tracers are available. Looking into this file only shows "none" which is used to unregister all tracers. current_tracer The trace that is currently active. Empty on start up. To switch to a tracer simply echo one of the tracers that are listed in available_tracers: example: (used with later patches) echo function > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer To disable the tracer: echo disable > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer tracing_enabled echoing "1" into this file starts the ftrace function tracing (if sysctl kernel.ftrace_enabled=1) echoing "0" turns it off. latency_trace This file is readonly and holds the result of the trace. trace This file outputs a easier to read version of the trace. iter_ctrl Controls the way the output of traces look. So far there's two controls: echoing in "symonly" will only show the kallsyms variables without the addresses (if kallsyms was configured) echoing in "verbose" will change the output to show a lot more data, but not very easy to understand by humans. echoing in "nosymonly" turns off symonly. echoing in "noverbose" turns off verbose.

2008-05-23ftrace: add basic support for gcc profiler instrumentationArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-0/+5
If CONFIG_FTRACE is selected and /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled is set to a non-zero value the ftrace routine will be called everytime we enter a kernel function that is not marked with the "notrace" attribute. The ftrace routine will then call a registered function if a function happens to be registered. [ This code has been highly hacked by Steven Rostedt and Ingo Molnar, so don't blame Arnaldo for all of this ;-) ] Update: It is now possible to register more than one ftrace function. If only one ftrace function is registered, that will be the function that ftrace calls directly. If more than one function is registered, then ftrace will call a function that will loop through the functions to call.
