2011-02-07tracing/filter: Swap entire filter of eventsSteven Rostedt1-105/+146
When creating a new filter, instead of allocating the filter to the event call first and then processing the filter, it is easier to process a temporary filter and then just swap it with the call filter. By doing this, it simplifies the code. A filter is allocated and processed, when it is done, it is swapped with the call filter, synchronize_sched() is called to make sure all callers are done with the old filter (filters are called with premption disabled), and then the old filter is freed.

2011-02-07tracing/filter: Increase the max preds to 2^14Steven Rostedt1-1/+8
Now that the filter logic does not require to save the pred results on the stack, we can increase the max number of preds we allow. As the preds are index by a short value, and we use the MSBs as flags we can increase the max preds to 2^14 (16384) which should be way more than enough.

2011-02-07tracing/filter: Optimize filter by folding the treeSteven Rostedt2-10/+235
There are many cases that a filter will contain multiple ORs or ANDs together near the leafs. Walking up and down the tree to get to the next compare can be a waste. If there are several ORs or ANDs together, fold them into a single pred and allocate an array of the conditions that they check. This will speed up the filter by linearly walking an array and can still break out if a short circuit condition is met.

2011-02-07tracing/filter: Check the created pred treeSteven Rostedt1-1/+71
Since the filter walks a tree to determine if a match is made or not, if the tree was incorrectly created, it could cause an infinite loop. Add a check to walk the entire tree before assigning it as a filter to make sure the tree is correct. Cc: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-02-07tracing/filter: Optimize short ciruit checkSteven Rostedt1-3/+9
The test if we should break out early for OR and AND operations can be optimized by comparing the current result with (pred->op == OP_OR) That is if the result is true and the op is an OP_OR, or if the result is false and the op is not an OP_OR (thus an OP_AND) we can break out early in either case. Otherwise we continue processing. Cc: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-02-07tracing/filter: Use a tree instead of stack for filter_match_preds()Steven Rostedt2-46/+194
Currently the filter_match_preds() requires a stack to push and pop the preds to determine if the filter matches the record or not. This has two drawbacks: 1) It requires a stack to store state information. As this is done in fast paths we can't allocate the storage for this stack, and we can't use a global as it must be re-entrant. The stack is stored on the kernel stack and this greatly limits how many preds we may allow. 2) All conditions are calculated even when a short circuit exists. a || b will always calculate a and b even though a was determined to be true. Using a tree we can walk a constant structure that will save the state as we go. The algorithm is simply: pred = root; do { switch (move) { case MOVE_DOWN: if (OR or AND) { pred = left; continue; } if (pred == root) break; match = pred->fn(); pred = pred->parent; move = left child ? MOVE_UP_FROM_LEFT : MOVE_UP_FROM_RIGHT; continue; case MOVE_UP_FROM_LEFT: /* Only OR or AND can be a parent */ if (match && OR || !match && AND) { /* short circuit */ if (pred == root) break; pred = pred->parent; move = left child ? MOVE_UP_FROM_LEFT : MOVE_UP_FROM_RIGHT; continue; } pred = pred->right; move = MOVE_DOWN; continue; case MOVE_UP_FROM_RIGHT: if (pred == root) break; pred = pred->parent; move = left child ? MOVE_UP_FROM_LEFT : MOVE_UP_FROM_RIGHT; continue; } done = 1; } while (!done); This way there's no strict limit to how many preds we allow and it also will short circuit the logical operations when possible.

2011-02-07tracing/filter: Allocate the preds in an arraySteven Rostedt2-23/+10
Currently we allocate an array of pointers to filter_preds, and then allocate a separate filter_pred for each item in the array. This adds slight overhead in the filters as it needs to derefernce twice to get to the op condition. Allocating the preds themselves in a single array removes a dereference as well as helps on the cache footprint.

2011-02-07tracing/filter: Call synchronize_sched() just once for system filtersSteven Rostedt1-17/+63
By separating out the reseting of the filter->n_preds to zero from the reallocation of preds for the filter, we can reset groups of filters first, call synchronize_sched() just once, and then reallocate each of the filters in the system group.

2011-02-07tracing/filter: Dynamically allocate predsSteven Rostedt2-36/+110
For every filter that is made, we create predicates to hold every operation within the filter. We have a max of 32 predicates that we can hold. Currently, we allocate all 32 even if we only need to use one. Part of the reason we do this is that the filter can be used at any moment by any event. Fortunately, the filter is only used with preemption disabled. By reseting the count of preds used "n_preds" to zero, then performing a synchronize_sched(), we can safely free and reallocate a new array of preds.

2011-02-07tracing/filter: Move OR and AND logic out of fn() methodSteven Rostedt2-34/+20
The ops OR and AND act different from the other ops, as they are the only ones to take other ops as their arguements. These ops als change the logic of the filter_match_preds. By removing the OR and AND fn's we can also remove the val1 and val2 that is passed to all other fn's and are unused.

2011-02-07tracing/filter: Have no filter return a matchSteven Rostedt1-1/+6
The n_preds field of a file can change at anytime, and even can become zero, just as the filter is about to be processed by an event. In the case that is zero on entering the filter, return 1, telling the caller the event matchs and should be trace. Also use a variable and assign it with ACCESS_ONCE() such that the count stays consistent within the function. Cc: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Cure this by using _local_bh_enable() which doesn't start processing softirqs, and use raw_local_irq_save() to avoid any softirqs from happening without letting lockdep think IRQs are in fact disabled.

2011-02-03tracing: Replace syscall_meta_data struct array with pointer arraySteven Rostedt1-9/+10
Currently the syscall_meta structures for the syscall tracepoints are placed in the __syscall_metadata section, and at link time, the linker makes one large array of all these syscall metadata structures. On boot up, this array is read (much like the initcall sections) and the syscall data is processed. The problem is that there is no guarantee that gcc will place complex structures nicely together in an array format. Two structures in the same file may be placed awkwardly, because gcc has no clue that they are suppose to be in an array. A hack was used previous to force the alignment to 4, to pack the structures together. But this caused alignment issues with other architectures (sparc). Instead of packing the structures into an array, the structures' addresses are now put into the __syscall_metadata section. As pointers are always the natural alignment, gcc should always pack them tightly together (otherwise initcall, extable, etc would also fail). By having the pointers to the structures in the section, we can still iterate the trace_events without causing unnecessary alignment problems with other architectures, or depending on the current behaviour of gcc that will likely change in the future just to tick us kernel developers off a little more. The __syscall_metadata section is also moved into the .init.data section as it is now only needed at boot up. Suggested-by: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Acked-by: David S.

2011-02-03tracepoints: Fix section alignment using pointer arrayMathieu Desnoyers2-23/+24
Make the tracepoints more robust, making them solid enough to handle compiler changes by not relying on anything based on compiler-specific behavior with respect to structure alignment. Implement an approach proposed by David Miller: use an array of const pointers to refer to the individual structures, and export this pointer array through the linker script rather than the structures per se. It will consume 32 extra bytes per tracepoint (24 for structure padding and 8 for the pointers), but are less likely to break due to compiler changes. History: commit 7e066fb8 tracepoints: add DECLARE_TRACE() and DEFINE_TRACE() added the aligned(32) type and variable attribute to the tracepoint structures to deal with gcc happily aligning statically defined structures on 32-byte multiples. One attempt was to use a 8-byte alignment for tracepoint structures by applying both the variable and type attribute to tracepoint structures definitions and declarations. It worked fine with gcc 4.5.1, but broke with gcc 4.4.4 and 4.4.5. The reason is that the "aligned" attribute only specify the _minimum_ alignment for a structure, leaving both the compiler and the linker free to align on larger multiples. Because tracepoint.c expects the structures to be placed as an array within each section, up-alignment cause NULL-pointer exceptions due to the extra unexpected padding.

Passing nowatchdog to kernel disables 2 things: creation of watchdog threads AND initialization of percpu watchdog_hrtimer. As hrtimers are initialized only at boot it's not possible to enable watchdog later - for me all watchdog threads started to eat 100% of CPU time, but they could just crash. Additionally, even if these threads would start properly, watchdog_disable_all_cpus was guarded by no_watchdog check, so you couldn't disable watchdog. To fix this, remove no_watchdog variable and use already existing watchdog_enabled variable.

2011-01-24Input: sysrq - ensure sysrq_enabled and __sysrq_enabled are consistentAndy Whitcroft1-1/+2
Currently sysrq_enabled and __sysrq_enabled are initialised separately and inconsistently, leading to sysrq being actually enabled by reported as not enabled in sysfs. The first change to the sysfs configurable synchronises these two: static int __read_mostly sysrq_enabled = 1; static int __sysrq_enabled; Add a common define to carry the default for these preventing them becoming out of sync again. Default this to 1 to mirror previous behaviour. Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@canonical.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru>
2011-01-24sched: Fix poor interactivity on UP systems due to group scheduler nice tune bugYong Zhang1-25/+53
Michael Witten and Christian Kujau reported that the autogroup scheduling feature hurts interactivity on their UP systems. It turns out that this is an older bug in the group scheduling code, and the wider appeal provided by the autogroup feature exposed it more prominently. When on UP with FAIR_GROUP_SCHED enabled, tune shares only affect tg->shares, but is not reflected in tg->se->load. The reason is that update_cfs_shares() does nothing on UP. So introduce update_cfs_shares() for UP && FAIR_GROUP_SCHED. This issue was found when enable autogroup scheduling was enabled, but it is an older bug that also exists on cgroup.cpu on UP.

2011-01-24module: show version information for built-in modules in sysfsDmitry Torokhov1-11/+54
Currently only drivers that are built as modules have their versions shown in /sys/module/<module_name>/version, but this information might also be useful for built-in drivers as well. This especially important for drivers that do not define any parameters - such drivers, if built-in, are completely invisible from userspace. This patch changes MODULE_VERSION() macro so that in case when we are compiling built-in module, version information is stored in a separate section. Kernel then uses this data to create 'version' sysfs attribute in the same fashion it creates attributes for module parameters.

2011-01-21perf: perf_event_exit_task_context: s/rcu_dereference/rcu_dereference_raw/Oleg Nesterov1-1/+1
In theory, almost every user of task->child->perf_event_ctxp[] is wrong. find_get_context() can install the new context at any moment, we need read_barrier_depends(). dbe08d82ce3967ccdf459f7951d02589cf967300 "perf: Fix find_get_context() vs perf_event_exit_task() race" added rcu_dereference() into perf_event_exit_task_context() to make the precedent, but this makes __rcu_dereference_check() unhappy. Use rcu_dereference_raw() to shut up the warning.

2011-01-21perf: Annotate cpuctx->ctx.mutex to avoid a lockdep splatPeter Zijlstra1-0/+3
Lockdep spotted: loop_1b_instruc/1899 is trying to acquire lock: (event_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff810e1908>] perf_trace_init+0x3b/0x2f7 but task is already holding lock: (&ctx->mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff810eb45b>] perf_event_init_context+0xc0/0x218 which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #3 (&ctx->mutex){+.+.+.}: -> #2 (cpu_hotplug.lock){+.+.+.}: -> #1 (module_mutex){+.+...}: -> #0 (event_mutex){+.+.+.}: But because the deadlock would be cpuhotplug (cpu-event) vs fork (task-event) it cannot, in fact, happen. We can annotate this by giving the perf_event_context used for the cpuctx a different lock class from those used by tasks.
