| * uprobes/tracing: Generalize struct uprobe_trace_entry_headOleg Nesterov2013-04-131-5/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | struct uprobe_trace_entry_head has a single member for reporting, "unsigned long ip". If we want to support uretprobes we need to create another struct which has "func" and "ret_ip" and duplicate a lot of functions, like trace_kprobe.c does. To avoid this copy-and-paste horror we turn ->ip into ->vaddr[] and add couple of trivial helpers to calculate sizeof/data. This uglifies the code a bit, but this allows us to avoid a lot more complications later, when we add the support for ret-probes.

* | tracing: Add function-trace option to disable function tracing of latency ↵Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)2013-03-151-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tracers Currently, the only way to stop the latency tracers from doing function tracing is to fully disable the function tracer from the proc file system: echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled This is a big hammer approach as it disables function tracing for all users. This includes kprobes, perf, stack tracer, etc. Instead, create a function-trace option that the latency tracers can check to determine if it should enable function tracing or not. This option can be set or cleared even while the tracer is active and the tracers will disable or enable function tracing depending on how the option was set.

* | tracing: Add internal ftrace trace_puts() for ftrace to useSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2013-03-151-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a few places that ftrace uses trace_printk() for internal use, but this requires context (normal, softirq, irq, NMI) buffers to keep things lockless. But the trace_puts() does not, as it can write the string directly into the ring buffer. Make a internal helper for trace_puts() and have the internal functions use that. This way the extra context buffers are not used. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* | tracing: Add trace_puts() for even faster trace_printk() tracingSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2013-03-151-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* | tracing: Add alloc_snapshot kernel command line parameterSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2013-03-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If debugging the kernel, and the developer wants to use tracing_snapshot() in places where tracing_snapshot_alloc() may be difficult (or more likely, the developer is lazy and doesn't want to bother with tracing_snapshot_alloc() at all), then adding alloc_snapshot to the kernel command line parameter will tell ftrace to allocate the snapshot buffer (if configured) when it allocates the main tracing buffer. I also noticed that ring_buffer_expanded and tracing_selftest_disabled had inconsistent use of boolean "true" and "false" with "0" and "1". I cleaned that up too.

* | tracing: Have trace_array keep track if snapshot buffer is allocatedSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2013-03-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The snapshot buffer belongs to the trace array not the tracer that is running. The trace array should be the data structure that keeps track of whether or not the snapshot buffer is allocated, not the tracer desciptor. Having the trace array keep track of it makes modifications so much easier. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* | tracing: Consolidate max_tr into main trace_array structureSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2013-03-151-7/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* | tracing: Clear all trace buffers when unloaded module event was usedSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2013-03-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we do not know what buffer a module event was enabled in. On unload, it is safest to clear all buffer instances, not just the top level buffer. Todo: Clear only the buffer that the event was used in. The infrastructure is there to do this, but it makes the code a bit more complex. Lets get the current code vetted before we add that. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the conversion of the data array to per cpu, sparse now complains about the use of per_cpu_ptr() on the variable. But The variable is allocated with alloc_percpu() and is fine to use. But since the structure that contains the data variable does not annotate it as such, sparse gives out a lot of false warnings.

* | tracing: Use direct field, type and system namesSteven Rostedt2013-03-151-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The names used to display the field and type in the event format files are copied, as well as the system name that is displayed. All these names are created by constant values passed in. If one of theses values were to be removed by a module, the module would also be required to remove any event it created. By using the strings directly, we can save over 100K of memory. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* | tracing: Add rmdir to remove multibuffer instancesSteven Rostedt2013-03-151-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a method to the hijacked dentry descriptor of the "instances" directory to allow for rmdir to remove an instance of a multibuffer. Example: cd /debug/tracing/instances mkdir hello ls hello/ rmdir hello ls Like the mkdir method, the i_mutex is dropped for the instances directory. The instances directory is created at boot up and can not be renamed or removed. The trace_types_lock mutex is used to synchronize adding and removing of instances. I've run several stress tests with different threads trying to create and delete directories of the same name, and it has stood up fine.

* | tracing: Add interface to allow multiple trace buffersSteven Rostedt2013-03-151-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the interface ("instances" directory) to add multiple buffers to ftrace. To create a new instance, simply do a mkdir in the instances directory: This will create a directory with the following: # cd instances # mkdir foo # ls foo buffer_size_kb free_buffer trace_clock trace_pipe buffer_total_size_kb set_event trace_marker tracing_enabled events/ trace trace_options tracing_on Currently only events are able to be set, and there isn't a way to delete a buffer when one is created (yet). Note, the i_mutex lock is dropped from the parent "instances" directory during the mkdir operation. As the "instances" directory can not be renamed or deleted (created on boot), I do not see any harm in dropping the lock. The creation of the sub directories is protected by trace_types_lock mutex, which only lets one instance get into the code path at a time. If two tasks try to create or delete directories of the same name, only one will occur and the other will fail with -EEXIST.

* | tracing: Make syscall events suitable for multiple buffersSteven Rostedt2013-03-151-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the syscall events record into the global buffer. But if multiple buffers are in place, then we need to have syscall events record in the proper buffers. By adding descriptors to pass to the syscall event functions, the syscall events can now record into the buffers that have been assigned to them (one event may be applied to mulitple buffers). This will allow tracing high volume syscalls along with seldom occurring syscalls without losing the seldom syscall events. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* | tracing: Replace the static global per_cpu arrays with allocated per_cpuSteven Rostedt2013-03-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The global and max-tr currently use static per_cpu arrays for the CPU data descriptors. But in order to get new allocated trace_arrays, they need to be allocated per_cpu arrays. Instead of using the static arrays, switch the global and max-tr to use allocated data.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The global_trace variable in kernel/trace/trace.c has been kept 'static' and local to that file so that it would not be used too much outside of that file. This has paid off, even though there were lots of changes to make the trace_array structure more generic (not depending on global_trace). Removal of a lot of direct usages of global_trace is needed to be able to create more trace_arrays such that we can add multiple buffers. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* | tracing: Use RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS for TRACE_PIPE_ALL_CPUSteven Rostedt2013-03-151-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Both RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS and TRACE_PIPE_ALL_CPU are defined as -1 and used to say that all the ring buffers are to be modified or read (instead of just a single cpu, which would be >= 0). There's no reason to keep TRACE_PIPE_ALL_CPU as it is also started to be used for more than what it was created for, and now that the ring buffer code added a generic RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS define, we can clean up the trace code to use that instead and remove the TRACE_PIPE_ALL_CPU macro.

* | tracing: Separate out trace events from global variablesSteven Rostedt2013-03-151-3/+36
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The trace events for ftrace are all defined via global variables. The arrays of events and event systems are linked to a global list. This prevents multiple users of the event system (what to enable and what not to). By adding descriptors to represent the event/file relation, as well as to which trace_array descriptor they are associated with, allows for more than one set of events to be defined. Once the trace events files have a link between the trace event and the trace_array they are associated with, we can create multiple trace_arrays that can record separate events in separate buffers.

* tracing: Avoid unnecessary multiple recursion checksSteven Rostedt2013-01-231-5/+101
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When function tracing occurs, the following steps are made: If arch does not support a ftrace feature: call internal function (uses INTERNAL bits) which calls... If callback is registered to the "global" list, the list function is called and recursion checks the GLOBAL bits. then this function calls... The function callback, which can use the FTRACE bits to check for recursion. Now if the arch does not suppport a feature, and it calls the global list function which calls the ftrace callback all three of these steps will do a recursion protection. There's no reason to do one if the previous caller already did. The recursion that we are protecting against will go through the same steps again. To prevent the multiple recursion checks, if a recursion bit is set that is higher than the MAX bit of the current check, then we know that the check was made by the previous caller, and we can skip the current check.

* ftrace: Add context level recursion bit checkingSteven Rostedt2013-01-231-3/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently for recursion checking in the function tracer, ftrace tests a task_struct bit to determine if the function tracer had recursed or not. If it has, then it will will return without going further. But this leads to races. If an interrupt came in after the bit was set, the functions being traced would see that bit set and think that the function tracer recursed on itself, and would return. Instead add a bit for each context (normal, softirq, irq and nmi). A check of which context the task is in is made before testing the associated bit. Now if an interrupt preempts the function tracer after the previous context has been set, the interrupt functions can still be traced. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

* tracing: Use irq_work for wake ups and remove *_nowake_*() functionsSteven Rostedt2012-11-021-5/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Have the ring buffer commit function use the irq_work infrastructure to wake up any waiters waiting on the ring buffer for new data. The irq_work was created for such a purpose, where doing the actual wake up at the time of adding data is too dangerous, as an event or function trace may be in the midst of the work queue locks and cause deadlocks. The irq_work will either delay the action to the next timer interrupt, or trigger an IPI to itself forcing an interrupt to do the work (in a safe location). With irq_work, all ring buffer commits can safely do wakeups, removing the need for the ring buffer commit "nowake" variants, which were used by events and function tracing. All commits can now safely use the normal commit, and the "nowake" variants can be removed. Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* tracing: Remove unused function unregister_tracer()Steven Rostedt2012-11-021-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | The function register_tracer() is only used by kernel core code, that never needs to remove the tracer. As trace_events have become the main way to add new tracing to the kernel, the need to unregister a tracer has diminished. Remove the unused function unregister_tracer(). If a need arises where we need it, then we can always add it back. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* tracing: Cache comms only after an event occurredSteven Rostedt2012-10-311-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Whenever an event is registered, the comm of tasks are saved at every task switch instead of saving them at every event. But if an event isn't executed much, the comm cache will be filled up by tasks that did not record the event and you lose out on the comms that did. Here's an example, if you enable the following events: echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/kvm/kvm_cr/enable echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/net/net_dev_xmit/enable Note, there's no kvm running on this machine so the first event will never be triggered, but because it is enabled, the storing of comms will continue. If we now disable the network event: echo 0 > /debug/tracing/events/net/net_dev_xmit/enable and look at the trace: cat /debug/tracing/trace sshd-2672 [001] ..s2 375.731616: net_dev_xmit: dev=eth0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s1 375.731617: net_dev_xmit: dev=br0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s2 375.859356: net_dev_xmit: dev=eth0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s1 375.859357: net_dev_xmit: dev=br0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s2 375.947351: net_dev_xmit: dev=eth0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s1 375.947352: net_dev_xmit: dev=br0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s2 376.035383: net_dev_xmit: dev=eth0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s1 376.035383: net_dev_xmit: dev=br0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s2 377.563806: net_dev_xmit: dev=eth0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=226 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s1 377.563807: net_dev_xmit: dev=br0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=226 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s2 377.563834: net_dev_xmit: dev=eth0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6be0 len=114 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s1 377.563842: net_dev_xmit: dev=br0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6be0 len=114 rc=0 We see that process 2672 which triggered the events has the comm "sshd".

This allows the code to code to compile with user namespaces enabled and removes the assumption there is only the initial user namespace. Everything is converted except for the most complex of the filesystems: autofs4, 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, fuse, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, ocfs2 and xfs as those patches need a bit more review. The strategy is to push kuid_t and kgid_t values are far down into subsystems and filesystems as reasonable. Leaving the make_kuid and from_kuid operations to happen at the edge of userspace, as the values come off the disk, and as the values come in from the network. Letting compile type incompatible compile errors (present when user namespaces are enabled) guide me to find the issues. The most tricky areas have been the places where we had an implicit union of uid and gid values and were storing them in an unsigned int. Those places were converted into explicit unions. I made certain to handle those places with simple trivial patches. Out of that work I discovered we have generic interfaces for storing quota by projid. I had never heard of the project identifiers before. Adding full user namespace support for project identifiers accounts for most of the code size growth in my git tree. Ultimately there will be work to relax privlige checks from "capable(FOO)" to "ns_capable(user_ns, FOO)" where it is safe allowing root in a user names to do those things that today we only forbid to non-root users because it will confuse suid root applications. While I was pushing kuid_t and kgid_t changes deep into the audit code I made a few other cleanups. I capitalized on the fact we process netlink messages in the context of the message sender. I removed usage of NETLINK_CRED, and started directly using current->tty. Some of these patches have also made it into maintainer trees, with no problems from identical code from different trees showing up in linux-next. After reading through all of this code I feel like I might be able to win a game of kernel trivial pursuit."

This did not cause any failures to the system itself (no crashes), but caused unnecessary failures for reading the trace files. Added a helper function called 'trace_buffer_iter()' that returns the buffer_iter item or NULL if it is not defined or the array was not allocated.

This version is much rewritten, reviews from PeterZ, Oleg and myself shaped the end result. This tree includes uprobes support in 'perf probe' - but SystemTap (and other tools) can take advantage of user probe points as well. Sample usage of uprobes via perf, for example to profile malloc() calls without modifying user-space binaries. First boot a new kernel with CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT=y enabled. If you don't know which function you want to probe you can pick one from 'perf top' or can get a list all functions that can be probed within libc (binaries can be specified as well): $ perf probe -F -x /lib/libc.so.6 To probe libc's malloc(): $ perf probe -x /lib64/libc.so.6 malloc Added new event: probe_libc:malloc (on 0x7eac0) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 1 Make use of it to create a call graph (as the flat profile is going to look very boring): $ perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -gR make [ perf record: Woken up 173 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 44.190 MB perf.data (~1930712 $ perf report | less 32.03% git libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc 29.49% cc1 libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | |--0.95%-- 0x208eb1000000000 | |--0.63%-- htab_traverse_noresize 11.04% as libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | 7.15% ld libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | 5.07% sh libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | 4.99% python-config libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | 4.54% make libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | |--7.34%-- glob | | | |--93.18%-- 0x41588f | | | --6.82%-- glob | 0x41588f ...

The core uprobes design is fairly straightforward: uprobes probe points register themselves at (inode:offset) addresses of libraries/binaries, after which all existing (or new) vmas that map that address will have a software breakpoint injected at that address. vmas are COW-ed to preserve original content. The probe points are kept in an rbtree. If user-space executes the probed inode:offset instruction address then an event is generated which can be recovered from the regular perf event channels and mmap-ed ring-buffer. Multiple probes at the same address are supported, they create a dynamic callback list of event consumers. The basic model is further complicated by the XOL speedup: the original instruction that is probed is copied (in an architecture specific fashion) and executed out of line when the probe triggers. The XOL area is a single vma per process, with a fixed number of entries (which limits probe execution parallelism). The API: uprobes are installed/removed via /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events, the API is integrated to align with the kprobes interface as much as possible, but is separate to it. Injecting a probe point is privileged operation, which can be relaxed by setting perf_paranoid to -1. You can use multiple probes as well and mix them with kprobes and regular PMU events or tracepoints, when instrumenting a task."

If the buffer_size_kb file under the per_cpu/ directory is used to change buffer size for a specific CPU, only the size of the respective ring buffer is updated. When tracing/buffer_size_kb is read, it reports 'X' to indicate that sizes of per_cpu ring buffers are not equivalent.

* | tracing: Add percpu buffers for trace_printk()Steven Rostedt2012-04-241-0/+2
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, trace_printk() uses a single buffer to write into to calculate the size and format needed to save the trace. To do this safely in an SMP environment, a spin_lock() is taken to only allow one writer at a time to the buffer. But this could also affect what is being traced, and add synchronization that would not be there otherwise. Ideally, using percpu buffers would be useful, but since trace_printk() is only used in development, having per cpu buffers for something never used is a waste of space. Thus, the use of the trace_bprintk() format section is changed to be used for static fmts as well as dynamic ones. Then at boot up, we can check if the section that holds the trace_printk formats is non-empty, and if it does contain something, then we know a trace_printk() has been added to the kernel. At this time the trace_printk per cpu buffers are allocated. A check is also done at module load time in case a module is added that contains a trace_printk(). Once the buffers are allocated, they are never freed. If you use a trace_printk() then you should know what you are doing. A buffer is made for each type of context: normal softirq irq nmi The context is checked and the appropriate buffer is used. This allows for totally lockless usage of trace_printk(), and they no longer even disable interrupts.

* tracing/ring-buffer: Only have tracing_on disable tracing buffersSteven Rostedt2012-02-221-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | As the ring-buffer code is being used by other facilities in the kernel, having tracing_on file disable *all* buffers is not a desired affect. It should only disable the ftrace buffers that are being used. Move the code into the trace.c file and use the buffer disabling for tracing_on() and tracing_off(). This way only the ftrace buffers will be affected by them and other kernel utilities will not be confused to why their output suddenly stopped. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* ftrace, perf: Add filter support for function trace eventJiri Olsa2012-02-211-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adding support to filter function trace event via perf interface. It is now possible to use filter interface in the perf tool like: perf record -e ftrace:function --filter="(ip == mm_*)" ls The filter syntax is restricted to the the 'ip' field only, and following operators are accepted '==' '!=' '||', ending up with the filter strings like: ip == f1[, ]f2 ... || ip != f3[, ]f4 ... with comma ',' or space ' ' as a function separator. If the space ' ' is used as a separator, the right side of the assignment needs to be enclosed in double quotes '"', e.g.: perf record -e ftrace:function --filter '(ip == do_execve,sys_*,ext*)' ls perf record -e ftrace:function --filter '(ip == "do_execve,sys_*,ext*")' ls perf record -e ftrace:function --filter '(ip == "do_execve sys_* ext*")' ls The '==' operator adds trace filter with same effect as would be added via set_ftrace_filter file. The '!=' operator adds trace filter with same effect as would be added via set_ftrace_notrace file. The right side of the '!=', '==' operators is list of functions or regexp. to be added to filter separated by space. The '||' operator is used for connecting multiple filter definitions together. It is possible to have more than one '==' and '!=' operators within one filter string.

* ftrace: Allow to specify filter field type for ftrace eventsJiri Olsa2012-02-211-10/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adding FILTER_TRACE_FN event field type for function tracepoint event, so it can be properly recognized within filtering code. Currently all fields of ftrace subsystem events share the common field type FILTER_OTHER. Since the function trace fields need special care within the filtering code we need to recognize it properly, hence adding the FILTER_TRACE_FN event type. Adding filter parameter to the FTRACE_ENTRY macro, to specify the filter field type for the event.

* ftrace, perf: Add support to use function tracepoint in perfJiri Olsa2012-02-211-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adding perf registration support for the ftrace function event, so it is now possible to register it via perf interface. The perf_event struct statically contains ftrace_ops as a handle for function tracer. The function tracer is registered/unregistered in open/close actions. To be efficient, we enable/disable ftrace_ops each time the traced process is scheduled in/out (via TRACE_REG_PERF_(ADD|DELL) handlers). This way tracing is enabled only when the process is running. Intentionally using this way instead of the event's hw state PERF_HES_STOPPED, which would not disable the ftrace_ops. It is now possible to use function trace within perf commands like: perf record -e ftrace:function ls perf stat -e ftrace:function ls Allowed only for root.
