2013-11-11ftrace, sched: Add TRACE_FLAG_PREEMPT_RESCHEDPeter Zijlstra1-2/+17
Since the introduction of PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED in: f27dde8deef3 ("sched: Add NEED_RESCHED to the preempt_count") we need to be able to look at both TIF_NEED_RESCHED and PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED to understand the full preemption behaviour. Add it to the trace output.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "Along with the usual minor fixes and clean ups there are a few major changes with this pull request. 1) Multiple buffers for the ftrace facility This feature has been requested by many people over the last few years. I even heard that Google was about to implement it themselves. I finally had time and cleaned up the code such that you can now create multiple instances of the ftrace buffer and have different events go to different buffers. This way, a low frequency event will not be lost in the noise of a high frequency event. Note, currently only events can go to different buffers, the tracers (ie function, function_graph and the latency tracers) still can only be written to the main buffer. 2) The function tracer triggers have now been extended. The function tracer had two triggers. One to enable tracing when a function is hit, and one to disable tracing. Now you can record a stack trace on a single (or many) function(s), take a snapshot of the buffer (copy it to the snapshot buffer), and you can enable or disable an event to be traced when a function is hit. 3) A perf clock has been added. A "perf" clock can be chosen to be used when tracing. This will cause ftrace to use the same clock as perf uses, and hopefully this will make it easier to interleave the perf and ftrace data for analysis." * tag 'trace-3.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (82 commits) tracepoints: Prevent null probe from being added tracing: Compare to 1 instead of zero for is_signed_type() tracing: Remove obsolete macro guard _TRACE_PROFILE_INIT ftrace: Get rid of ftrace_profile_bits tracing: Check return value of tracing_init_dentry() tracing: Get rid of unneeded key calculation in ftrace_hash_move() tracing: Reset ftrace_graph_filter_enabled if count is zero tracing: Fix off-by-one on allocating stat->pages kernel: tracing: Use strlcpy instead of strncpy tracing: Update debugfs README file tracing: Fix ftrace_dump() tracing: Rename trace_event_mutex to trace_event_sem tracing: Fix comment about prefix in arch_syscall_match_sym_name() tracing: Convert trace_destroy_fields() to static tracing: Move find_event_field() into trace_events.c tracing: Use TRACE_MAX_PRINT instead of constant tracing: Use pr_warn_once instead of open coded implementation ring-buffer: Add ring buffer startup selftest tracing: Bring Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt up to date tracing: Add "perf" trace_clock ...

2013-03-15tracing: Add trace_puts() for even faster trace_printk() tracingSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)1-0/+75
The trace_printk() is extremely fast and is very handy as it can be used in any context (including NMIs!). But it still requires scanning the fmt string for parsing the args. Even the trace_bprintk() requires a scan to know what args will be saved, although it doesn't copy the format string itself. Several times trace_printk() has no args, and wastes cpu cycles scanning the fmt string. Adding trace_puts() allows the developer to use an even faster tracing method that only saves the pointer to the string in the ring buffer without doing any format parsing at all. This will help remove even more of the "Heisenbug" effect, when debugging. Also fixed up the F_printk()s for the ftrace internal bprint and print events.

2013-03-15tracing: Consolidate max_tr into main trace_array structureSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)1-1/+1
Currently, the way the latency tracers and snapshot feature works is to have a separate trace_array called "max_tr" that holds the snapshot buffer. For latency tracers, this snapshot buffer is used to swap the running buffer with this buffer to save the current max latency. The only items needed for the max_tr is really just a copy of the buffer itself, the per_cpu data pointers, the time_start timestamp that states when the max latency was triggered, and the cpu that the max latency was triggered on. All other fields in trace_array are unused by the max_tr, making the max_tr mostly bloat. This change removes the max_tr completely, and adds a new structure called trace_buffer, that holds the buffer pointer, the per_cpu data pointers, the time_start timestamp, and the cpu where the latency occurred. The trace_array, now has two trace_buffers, one for the normal trace and one for the max trace or snapshot. By doing this, not only do we remove the bloat from the max_trace but the instances of traces can now use their own snapshot feature and not have just the top level global_trace have the snapshot feature and latency tracers for itself.

2013-02-27hlist: drop the node parameter from iteratorsSasha Levin1-2/+1
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually. The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here: @@ iterator name hlist_for_each_entry, hlist_for_each_entry_continue, hlist_for_each_entry_from, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh, for_each_busy_worker, ax25_uid_for_each, ax25_for_each, inet_bind_bucket_for_each, sctp_for_each_hentry, sk_for_each, sk_for_each_rcu, sk_for_each_from, sk_for_each_safe, sk_for_each_bound, hlist_for_each_entry_safe, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu, nr_neigh_for_each, nr_neigh_for_each_safe, nr_node_for_each, nr_node_for_each_safe, for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp, for_each_gfn_sp, for_each_host; type T; expression a,c,d,e; identifier b; statement S; @@ -T b; <+... when != b ( hlist_for_each_entry(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_from(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh(a, - b, c) S | for_each_busy_worker(a, c, - b, d) S | ax25_uid_for_each(a, - b, c) S | ax25_for_each(a, - b, c) S | inet_bind_bucket_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sctp_for_each_hentry(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_rcu(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_from -(a, b) +(a) S + sk_for_each_from(a) S | sk_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | sk_for_each_bound(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_safe(a, - b, c, d, e) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | nr_node_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_node_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d) S | for_each_host(a, - b, c) S | for_each_host_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | for_each_mesh_entry(a, - b, c, d) S ) ...+> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus change from net/ipv4/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus hunk from net/ipv6/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warnings] [akpm@linux-foudnation.org: redo intrusive kvm changes] Tested-by: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@gmail.com> Acked-by: Paul E.

2012-06-14tracing: Register the ftrace internal events during early bootSteven Rostedt1-1/+1
All trace events including ftrace internel events (like trace_printk and function tracing), register functions that describe how to print their output. The events may be recorded as soon as the ring buffer is allocated, but they are just raw binary in the buffer. The mapping of event ids to how to print them are held within a structure that is registered on system boot. If a crash happens in boot up before these functions are registered then their output (via ftrace_dump_on_oops) will be useless: Dumping ftrace buffer: --------------------------------- <...>-1 0.... 319705us : Unknown type 6 --------------------------------- This can be quite frustrating for a kernel developer trying to see what is going wrong. There's no reason to register them so late in the boot up process. They can be registered by early_initcall().

2012-04-19tracing: Fix stacktrace of latency tracers (irqsoff and friends)Steven Rostedt1-0/+5
While debugging a latency with someone on IRC (mirage335) on #linux-rt (OFTC), we discovered that the stacktrace output of the latency tracers (preemptirqsoff) was empty. This bug was caused by the creation of the dynamic length stack trace again (like commit 12b5da3 "tracing: Fix ent_size in trace output" was). This bug is caused by the latency tracers requiring the next event to determine the time between the current event and the next. But by grabbing the next event, the iter->ent_size is set to the next event instead of the current one. As the stacktrace event is the last event, this makes the ent_size zero and causes nothing to be printed for the stack trace. The dynamic stacktrace uses the ent_size to determine how much of the stack can be printed. The ent_size of zero means no stack. The simple fix is to save the iter->ent_size before finding the next event. Note, mirage335 asked to remain anonymous from LKML and git, so I will not add the Reported-by and Tested-by tags, even though he did report the issue and tested the fix.

If more than one __print_*() function is used in a tracepoint (__print_flags(), __print_symbols(), etc), then the temp seq buffer will not be zero on entry.

If __print_flags() is used after another __print_*() function, the temp seq_file buffer will not be empty on entry, and the delimiter will be printed even though there's just one field. We get something like: |S instead of just: S This is because the length of the temp seq buffer is used to determine if the delimiter is printed or not. But this algorithm fails when the seq buffer is not empty on entry, and the delimiter will be printed because it thinks that a previous field was already printed.

2011-11-17tracing: Add irq, preempt-count and need resched info to default trace outputSteven Rostedt1-2/+14
People keep asking how to get the preempt count, irq, and need resched info and we keep telling them to enable the latency format. Some developers think that traces without this info is completely useless, and for a lot of tasks it is useless. The first option was to enable the latency trace as the default format, but the header for the latency format is pretty useless for most tracers and it also does the timestamp in straight microseconds from the time the trace started. This is sometimes more difficult to read as the default trace is seconds from the start of boot up.

2011-07-14tracing: Have dynamic size event stack tracesSteven Rostedt1-5/+6
Currently the stack trace per event in ftace is only 8 frames. This can be quite limiting and sometimes useless. Especially when the "ignore frames" is wrong and we also use up stack frames for the event processing itself. Change this to be dynamic by adding a percpu buffer that we can write a large stack frame into and then copy into the ring buffer. For interrupts and NMIs that come in while another event is being process, will only get to use the 8 frame stack. That should be enough as the task that it interrupted will have the full stack frame anyway. Requested-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The issue is also easily reproduced by running ltp stress test. (ftrace_stress_test.sh) The reasons are: - bin/hex/raw output functions for events are set to trace_nop_print function, which prints nothing and returns TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED value - LOST EVENT trace do not handle trace_seq overflow These reasons force the while loop in tracing_read_pipe function never to break.

2011-03-10tracing: Remove lock_depth from event entrySteven Rostedt1-8/+2
The lock_depth field in the event headers was added as a temporary data point for help in removing the BKL. Now that the BKL is pretty much been removed, we can remove this field. This in turn changes the header from 12 bytes to 8 bytes, removing the 4 byte buffer that gcc would insert if the first field in the data load was 8 bytes in size.

__print_flags() and __print_symbolic() use percpu trace_seq: 1) Its memory is allocated at compile time, it wastes memory if we don't use tracing. 2) It is percpu data and it wastes more memory for multi-cpus system. 3) It disables preemption when it executes its core routine "trace_seq_printf(s, "%s: ", #call);" and introduces latency.

2010-05-14tracing: Allow events to share their print functionsSteven Rostedt1-45/+92
Multiple events may use the same method to print their data. Instead of having all events have a pointer to their print funtions, the trace_event structure now points to a trace_event_functions structure that will hold the way to print ouf the event. The event itself is now passed to the print function to let the print function know what kind of event it should print.

2009-12-09tracing: Buffer the output of seq_file in case of filled bufferSteven Rostedt1-3/+11
If the seq_read fills the buffer it will call s_start again on the next itertation with the same position. This causes a problem with the function_graph tracer because it consumes the iteration in order to determine leaf functions. What happens is that the iterator stores the entry, and the function graph plugin will look at the next entry. If that next entry is a return of the same function and task, then the function is a leaf and the function_graph plugin calls ring_buffer_read which moves the ring buffer iterator forward (the trace iterator still points to the function start entry). The copying of the trace_seq to the seq_file buffer will fail if the seq_file buffer is full. The seq_read will not show this entry. The next read by userspace will cause seq_read to again call s_start which will reuse the trace iterator entry (the function start entry). But the function return entry was already consumed. The function graph plugin will think that this entry is a nested function and not a leaf. To solve this, the trace code now checks the return status of the seq_printf (trace_print_seq). If the writing to the seq_file buffer fails, we set a flag in the iterator (leftover) and we do not reset the trace_seq buffer. On the next call to s_start, we check the leftover flag, and if it is set, we just reuse the trace_seq buffer and do not call into the plugin print functions.

2009-10-24tracing: Fix trace_seq_printf() return valueJiri Olsa1-1/+4
trace_seq_printf() return value is a little ambiguous. It currently returns the length of the space available in the buffer. printf usually returns the amount written. This is not adequate here, because: trace_seq_printf(s, ""); is perfectly legal, and returning 0 would indicate that it failed. We can always see the amount written by looking at the before and after values of s->len. This is not quite the same use as printf. We only care if the string was successfully written to the buffer or not. Make trace_seq_printf() return 0 if the trace oversizes the buffer's free space, 1 otherwise.

Some examples where this would be useful are the state flags in a context switch, kmalloc flags, and even permision flags in accessing files.

2009-05-25tracing: add trace_event_read_lock()Lai Jiangshan1-7/+18
I found that there is nothing to protect event_hash in ftrace_find_event(). Rcu protects the event hashlist but not the event itself while we use it after its extraction through ftrace_find_event(). This lack of a proper locking in this spot opens a race window between any event dereferencing and module removal. Eg: --Task A-- print_trace_line(trace) { event = find_ftrace_event(trace) --Task B-- trace_module_remove_events(mod) { list_trace_events_module(ev, mod) { unregister_ftrace_event(ev->event) { hlist_del(ev->event->node) list_del(....) } } } |--> module removed, the event has been dropped --Task A-- event->print(trace); // Dereferencing freed memory If the event retrieved belongs to a module and this module is concurrently removed, we may end up dereferencing a data from a freed module. RCU could solve this, but it would add latency to the kernel and forbid tracers output callbacks to call any sleepable code. So this fix converts 'trace_event_mutex' to a read/write semaphore, and adds trace_event_read_lock() to protect ftrace_find_event().
